SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE VEHICLE HAD WARPED FRONT ROTORS FROM DAY OF PURCHASE. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK FROM SIDE TO SIDE DURING TEST DRIVE AFTER APPLYING THE BAKE AT ABOUT 50 TO 60 MILES PER. I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO NISSAN DEALER TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AND ROTORS UNDER WARRANTY THE TRUCK HAD 632 MILES AT THE TIME. THAT WAS IN 2006. JUST RECENTLY I HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED AGAIN THE PADS WERE NOT WORN OUT COMPLETELY BUT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AT 33,673 MILES. I PAID ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED FOR $600 THAT SEEM TO BE THE MINIMUM CHARGE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS (BOTH SIDES) ON 2006 NISSAN TITAN. NORMAL DRIVING. APPARENTLY, THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF POWER AND FUMES ESCAPING FROM EXHAUST COULD ENTER THE CABIN AND CAUSE HEADACHE, NAUSEA AND OTHER EFFECTS. DEALER OFFERS 80K WARRANTY. TRUCK AS 75K. DEALER WILL REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IPDM COMPONENT FAILED. CAUSED 2006 NISSAN TITAN TO DIE 6 TIMES IN A 2 MILE JOURNEY. LOST POWER STEERING, COULD NOT SAFELY COMPLETE A TURN, HAD TO DRIVE INTO A WOODED ROADSIDE TO AVOID HITTING AN ON-COMING CAR. ONCE AT A REPAIR STATION, THEY COULD NOT GET VEHICLE TO START AND I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. COULD HAVE COST ME MORE... IF THE ENGINE WERE OVER CRANKED IT COULD DAMAGE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP. SCARY EXPERIENCE TO HAVE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I FELT A SLIGHT GIVE IN THE GAS. THE GAS PEDAL DEPRESSED DOWN TO THE FLOOR OF MY TRUCK AND I LOST POWER. I THEN LOST ALL POWER STEERING CAPABILITIES. WHILE TRYING TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE EMERGENCY 101SOUTH FREEWAY SHOULDER. I CRASHED INTO THE MEDIAN. COMPLETELY RIPPING OFF THE FRONT BUMPER AND WHEEL WELL COVER. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT I HAD A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
SHORTLY AFTER A RAINSTORM THIS VEHICLE (NISSAN TITAN 2006) WAS BEING DRIVEN LATE AT NIGHT ON AN UNPAVED COUNTRY ROAD IN THE VICINITY OF WEBSTER PARISH, LA. AS THE ROAD WAS WET AND THE VISIBILITY WAS VERY LIMITED IT WAS BEING DRIVEN NO FASTER THAN ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THEY RAN INTO A RUT IN THE ROAD WITH THE LEFT FRONT TIRE AND THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. WHEN THE VEHICLE RAN INTO THE RUT IN THE ROAD IT TILTED VERY SLIGHTLY AND THEN RIGHTED ITSELF. THERE WAS NO EXTERIOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PEOPLE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN DRIVEN TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONTACTED NISSAN WHO SAID THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED PROPERLY AND THEY WOULD NOT PAY ANY PART OF REPLACING THEM OR THE SEAT BELTS. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE ALSO SAID THAT THE VEHICLES' COMPUTER SENT OUT AN 'ERROR CODE' THAT THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED OVER. ALSO, WHEN WE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH ANOTHER NISSAN TRAINED AND CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN, WE WERE TOLD THAT 7 OUT OF 10 TITANS HAVE ISSUES WITH THEIR COMPUTERS AND THAT THE SENSOR UNDER THE VEHICLE IS PRONE TO COME LOOSE. IT DOESN'T SEEM LOGICAL THAT A MINOR INCIDENT LIKE THIS COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SEAT BELTS UNLESS THE SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE WAS DEFECTIVE. IT COST MORE THAN $5,000 TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS AND THE SEAT BELTS AND NISSAN WOULD NOT PAY ANY OF THIS AMOUNT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE HIT, OR RUN OVER SOMETHING, BUT SAW NOTHING IN OR ALONG THE ROAD. I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING AT FIRST, AND THEN MY WIFE NOTICED A RAISED AREA OF THE TRUCK BED ON THE DRIVER SIDE NEAR THE TAILGATE. WE LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND SAW THAT THE SPRING SHACKLE WAS BROKEN, AND THE END OF THE SPRING WAS LODGED UP AGAINST THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BED. I TOW A 6500LB. CAMPER WITH THIS TRUCK, BUT WAS NOT IN TOW AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. *TR

I TOOK MY TITAN IN TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING. ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE READ AND BEEN TOLD THIS IS VERY COMMON TO THE TITANS AND CAN RUIN YOUR BRAKES AS WELL. SOME PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED HAVING TO REPLACE THEM 2 OR 3 TIMES. NISSAN NOW RECOMMENDS CHANGING OUT THE ENTIRE AXLE AT YOUR EXPENSE UNLESS IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM IS MINE HAVE PROBABLY BEEN LEAKING SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT IS NOW TOO LATE BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND YOU CAN'T TELL THAT THEY ARE LEAKING UNTIL IT HAS BEEN LEAKING LONG ENOUGH TO GET GEAR OIL TO A VISIBLE SPOT. I HAVEN'T HAD IT FIXED YET AS I AM WEIGHING OUT THE BEST OPTION FOR ME AS FAR AS REPLACING THE SEALS OR THE WHOLE AXLE ASSEMBLY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE POSSIBLE RAMIFICATIONS TO HE BRAKE SYSTEM. *TR

RIGHT REAR BRAKE FULL OF OIL FROM DEFECTIVE AXEL SEAL. OIL HAS LEAKED OUT OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE REAR AXLE AND ON TO THE DISK BRAKES CAUSING THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL TO LOCK UP WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. MY FAMILY WAS FORCED TO STOP DRIVING THE TRUCK AS IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND WOULD COST $1200 TO REPAIR. *TR

THE HUB SEALS ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAVE FAILED.. AND ARE LEAKING FLUID. IN MY ONLINE RESEARCH IT APPEARS TO BE A ISSUE THAT RETURNS DUE TO A AXLE VENTILATION ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED A RESOLUTION OR REPLY AS THE DEALER SAYS THE ENTIRE AXLE NOW REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. TITANTALK.COM HAS SEVERAL REPORTS FROM OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. MY TRUCK PRESENTLY HAS 70900 MILES ON IT AND WAS PURCHASED IN AUGUST OF 2008 WITH 58000. THE DRIVER USE IS UNDER 6K MILES PER YEAR SO THIS APPEARS TO BE GREATER CONCERN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS FRACTURED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE DEALER AGREED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V459000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE THE RECALL COVERED THE DRIVER SIDE HARNESS BUT NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHICH WAS SLOWLY DETERIORATING. THE DEALER WOULD NOT AGREE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE HARNESS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,000.

06 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 REAR END FAILURE. THERE WAS A CLICKING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE REAR ON MY WAY HOME FROM A VACATION, A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD I STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT. WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE THERE WAS A POP AND I LOST ALL POWER TO THE REAR END. MY AXLE SOMEHOW SNAPPED ALMOST DISLODGING IT FROM THE VEHICLE AND NOW THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME I NEED TO PAY FOR AN ENTIRE NEW REAR END. THIS TRUCK WAS NEVER ABUSED AND SAW MILD OFFROAD USAGE. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS I COULD HAVE LOST MY REAR WHEEL WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY INCIDENT OF NISSAN TITAN OWNERS THAT I HAVE HEARD. I BELIEVE IT IS BECOMING A SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB 4X4. LAST THURSDAY I HEARD A LOUD BANG IN THE BACK END OF MY TRUCK. I LOOKED AROUND AND DIDN'T REALLY NOTICE ANYTHING. FRIDAY I HEARD MORE NOISE FROM THE BACK END AND MADE AND APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. SATURDAY WAS MORE NOISE, BUT GETTING MUCH WORSE. SUNDAY I WENT TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE BED OF MY TRUCK AND SAW A HOLE ON THE BACK PASSENGERS SIDE CORNER WITH A PART COMING THROUGH THE BED. I THEN GOT UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK TO FIND THAT THE LEAF SPRING HAD BROKEN IN HALF AND FIRED A PIECE OF MY SUSPENSION THROUGH THE BED OF MY TRUCK. I BROUGHT IT TO BE FIXED TODAY AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE HAD SEEN A LOT OF THESE WITH A BAD WELD AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN BECAUSE HE HEARD THEY WERE POSSIBLY GOING TO RECALL THEM FOR LEAF SPRING. I CHECKED ONLINE AND COULDN'T FIND A RECALL FOR A BAD WELD ON A LEAF SPRING, BUT I DID FIND THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING SO THAT IS WHY I AM FILING A COMPLAINT. HOPEFULLY NISSAN DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THEM LIKE TOYOTA IS DOING BECAUSE THEY ARE TAKING CARE OF THEIR FAULTY LEAF SPRINGS. *TR
