WAS HEARING THE REAR END HUMMING FOR A LITTLE WHILE WHEN ON MAY 6, 2009 MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN'S REAR DIFFERENTIAL GAVE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. GOT VERY CLOSE TO GETTING HIT ON DRIVERS SIDE, DRIVERS HAD TO MANEUVER AROUND ME GOING AT LEAST 50 MPH. IT KICKED BACK IN AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. CONTINUED TO LOCK UP ON ME AFTERWARDS, IT IS NOW IN SHOP GETTING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR FOR THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS FOR THE FRONT TIRES. THE VEHICLE WORKED NORMALLY FOR A YEAR AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, BUT THE FAILURE EVENTUALLY RECURRED. THIS TEMPORARILY REMEDIED THE ISSUE FOR 15,000 MILES. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THIS FAILURE SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING TO A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT USED EVERYDAY, SO HE BELIEVES THE FAILURE IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED FOR A SECOND TIME. CURRENTLY, THE ROTORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 5/26/09 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AND NEW PADS WERE INSTALLED. UPDATED 05/28/09.*JB

RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 8000 MILES NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL. NISSAN REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAT IN HIS VEHICLE WILL NOT KEEP THE WINDOWS DEFROSTED IN THE WINTER. THE WINDOWS REMAINED FOGGED AND ICY IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 30 DEGREES, EVEN THOUGH THE DEFROSTER WAS AT ITS MAXIMUM SETTING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE HE CANNOT SEE OUT OF THE WINDOWS WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST THREE TIMES, BUT THEY HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,900. UPDATED 5/6/09 *CN UPDATED 05/08/09.*JB

SEAT BELTS
THE REAR SEAT SEAT-BELTS OF MY NISSAN TITAN TRUCK WILL TIGHTEN INTO A LOCKED POSITION CAUSING THE PASSENGER TO BECOME IMMOBILIZED AGAINST THE SEAT BACK. THE ONLY WAY TO UNDO THE LOCKED SEAT-BELT IS TO COMPLETELY DISENGAGE IT, AND THEN RE-LOCK IT. HOWEVER, IT'S THEN JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT LOCKS UP AGAIN FORCING THE PASSENGER TO UNLOCK IT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD, BECAUSE THE PASSENGER HAS TO UNDO THEIR SEAT-BELT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION SO THEY CAN MOVE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SEAT BELTS ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIX THEM. I HAVE VERIFIED WITH OTHER 2006 NISSAN TITAN OWNERS AND THEY HAVE NOTED THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE NISSAN DEALER ADMITTED THEY HAVE HAD OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO REDESIGN THE REAR SEAT BELTS OR USE DIFFERENT TYPES THAT WON'T TIGHTEN AND LOCK UP WHEN PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY SITTING IN THEM, WHICH CREATES THIS SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I ALWAYS INSIST THAT ANYONE RIDING WITH ME USE THE SEAT BELTS, BUT I HAVE NOTED ON OCCASION THAT SOME HAVE RELEASED THEM WITHOUT TELLING ME, BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT HAD LOCKED UP ON THEM, CAUSING TOO MUCH DISCOMFORT. MAYBE YOU CAN GET NISSAN TO CORRECT THIS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY WON'T LISTEN TO ME (THEY SIMPLY REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT WITH A SIMILAR DEFECTIVE ONE). *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STEERING
I PURCHASED A NEW NISSAN TITAN FROM ALAN KURTH DEALERSHIP MINOT, ND. MAY OF 2005. WITHIN THE YEAR I ASKED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE "STRANGE" BRAKING EXPERIENCE. I NOTICED SOME VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT BRAKES THAT ALSO VIBRATED THE STEERING COLUMN. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL ON A TITAN HEAVY DUTY TRUCK . I AM NOT A MECHANIC AND TOOK THEIR WORD. THAT DEALERSHIP WENT OUT OF BUSINESS SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND THE ONLY OTHER NISSAN DEALER WAS IN BISMARK, A LONG WAY FROM WHERE I LIVED AT THE TIME. I DID TAKE IT TO THAT DEALER, BISMARK HONDA-NISSAN-HYUNDAI IN JULY OF 2006 IN RESPONSE TO A RECALL ABOUT ANOTHER ISSUE. NOTHING WAS MENTIONED BY THEM ABOUT ANY PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THE TRUCK WAS NOT DRIVEN THAT MUCH, CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES AND THE VIBRATION HAS BECOME WORSE AND WORSE ONCE I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO FLORIDA LAST FALL TO THE POINT THAT I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD THEN AFTER THEY INSPECTED THE TRUCK ON APRIL 23RD. 2009 THAT NISSAN HAD IDENTIFIED A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES ON THIS MODEL CALLED BRAKE JUDDER HE SUGGESTED I CALL NISSAN TO SEE HOW THEY WERE MANAGING THE PROBLEM. I TELEPHONED NISSAN CONSUMER OFFICE ON APRIL 24TH AND SPOKE WITH ANDY WHO OPENED A CASE FILE AND THAT NUMBER IS 6477694. HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO BEGIN WITH THE LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE THEM INSPECT THE TRUCK SO I CONTACTED MAROONE NISSAN IN FT LAUDERDALE AND TOOK THE TRUCK IN ON APRIL 27, 2009. I DEALT WITH THE ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER. WHEN THEY HAD FINALLY FINISHED WITH THEIR INSPECTION HE TOLD ME THAT "NISSAN WOULD NOT PROVIDE A COURTESY REPAIR SINCE THEY HAD INITIALLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 2008. I HAD RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING THAT NISSAN FAILED TO PROVIDE. 1. THE ISSUE WAS SENT OUT TO ALL NISSAN SERVICE MANAGERS ON MARCH 16, 2005. THE REPAIRS WERE NOT MADE PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. 2. THEY WERE DIRECTED TO SUPPLY A "LEGIBLE PHOTOCOPY" ABOUT THE WARRANTY EXTENSION. THEY DID NOT. THIS WAS DETAILED IN NISSAN ADVISORY NNAWB/05-01. *TR

DRIVE SHAFT RIPPED OUT OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. A SMALL EVER INCREASING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK WHEN COASTING. FROM THE VERY START OF THE NOISE TO COMPLETE FAILURE WAS ABOUT 40-MILES, BUT THE NOISE WAS ONLY LOUD ENOUGH TO HEAR WITH THE WINDOWS SHUT AND RADIO OFF ABOUT 10-MILES BEFORE COMPLETE FAILURE. TRUCK IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP, CHANCES ARE GOOD NEW DRIVE SHAFT AND ENTIRE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WILL BE NEEDED. IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. HAD THE DRIVESHAFT NOT RIPPED FREE FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL, THE REAR WHEELS COULD HAVE LOCKED UP, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO SKID OUT OF CONTROL. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BEGAN TO MAKE STRANGE NOISES SO I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $2500. THE TRUCK HAD 61,500 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY 60,000 MILES AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THE PART AT NO COST. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY REFUSED ALSO. THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED HAD A TOWING PACKAGE INSTALLED. IN MY OPINION, THE LIGHTWEIGHT REAR AXLE AND DIFFERENTIAL THAT NISSAN INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES IS INADEQUATE AND THEREFORE DEFECTIVE. NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THESE PARTS AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE CAME APART AT THE WELD AND THE BACK OF THE LEAF SPRING PUNCHED UP THROUGH THE BED OF MY TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WAS NOT ACCOMPANIED BY ANY LOUD NOISE OR ANY INDICATION THAT SOMETHING HAD GONE DRASTICALLY WRONG. THIS IS A 4X4, OFF-ROAD/WORK TRUCK. THESE SHACKLES SHOULD NEVER BREAK, LET ALONE ONLY AFTER 3 WINTERS. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I ALSO FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE IS SHOWING SIGNS OF STRESS AND CRACKING. I HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND HAVEN'T HEARD ANY INFO FROM THEM EITHER. I HAVE HAD TRUCK TOWED OUT OF NISSAN DEALER AND HAVE OBTAINED SOME HEAVY-DUTY AFTERMARKET SHACKLES WHICH I PLAN TO INSTALL. *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND IN OCTOBER OF 2008 I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE SEALS AND BEARINGS AND THE FRONT PINION SEALS. THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND THE REAR END WAS FIXED ON APRIL 15, 2009 BUT NOT ABLE TO GET THE FRONT DONE YET. THIS PROBLEM COME ABOUT A YEAR AFTER OWNING IT AND ABOUT 12000 MILES AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS UP. I HAVE FILES A COMPLAINT TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. *TR

I AM A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER SEEKING YOUR OFFICE'S ASSISTANCE ON RESOLVING AN ISSUE RELATED TO THE UNEXPECTED COLLAPSE OF THE REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM ON MY VEHICLE, AND ALSO TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THE DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROADS NATIONWIDE ARE EXPOSED. I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICK-UP TRUCK PURCHASED NEW IN JANUARY 2005. THE VEHICLE HAS 78,000 MILES, IS WELL MAINTAINED, AND MAINLY USED TO COMMUTE TO WORK. IT IS NOT DRIVEN OFF-ROAD, NOR IT IS USED TO CARRY HEAVY LOADS. A SHACKLE SUPPORTING THE LEFT REAR SUSPENSION LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY FAILED. THE ASSEMBLY COLLAPSED, PERFORATING THE TRUCK BED AS SHOWN ON THE ENCLOSED PHOTOS. [?FORTUNATELY?, IT OCCURRED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT WHILE DRIVING ON A PUBLIC ROAD; OTHERWISE THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC DUE TO THE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL]. I IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED THE NISSAN DEALER (1-860-448-0050). THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT-OF-WARRANTY; THEREFORE, HE HAD TO CONTACT NISSAN CORPORATION FOR INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY FOR RUST (60 MONTHS-UNLIMITED MILES). FURTHERMORE, SUCH A MAJOR STRUCTURAL FAILURE IS BEYOND ANY WARRANTY COVERAGE LIMITATIONS BECAUSE IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED, WITHIN FOUR YEARS, TO PROVIDE ONE OF ITS MAJOR INTENDED AND IMPLIED USES, WHICH IS TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION TO ITS OPERATOR AND PASSENGERS IN A SAFE MANNER AND FURTHERMORE, NOT POSE A RISK WHEN OPERATED ON THE ROADS BY EXPOSING OTHER DRIVERS AND PROPERTY TO INJURY AND DAMAGE. OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE IT BEEFED-UP THE SHACKLES ON THEIR 2008 MODELS, BUT OLDER MODELS STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. HOW CAN I EMAIL PHOTOS OF THE FAILURE. YOUR INTERVENTION IS REQUESTED. *TR
