ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE EXHAUST TAIL PIPE WAS DAMAGED DUE TO AN UNKNOWN OBSTACLE ON THE ROAD SURFACE. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS OPENED, THE PARKING LIGHT ACTIVATED WITHOUT ASSISTANCE AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE TURN SIGNAL WAS NONFUNCTIONAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE TAIL PIPE DISENGAGEMENT CONTRIBUTED TO THE MELTING OF THE WIRING HARNESS.

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN RECENTLY STARTED LEAKING GEAR OIL FROM BOTH AXLES IN THE REAR. CONCURRENTLY MY BRAKE PADS STARTING ABSORBING THE OIL WHICH IN TURN RUINED MY ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, AND NOW IS COSTING ME A PRETTY PENNY TO GET IT FIXED. MY MECHANIC SAID THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORES DO NOT CARRY THESE BEARINGS AND SEALS AND THEREFORE MUST CONTACT THE ORIGINAL DEALER TO ORDER THEM. AFTER READING AND FOLLOWING UP ON THE ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS BY MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS, I AM CURIOUS TO FIND OUT WHAT STEPS IN NISSAN TAKING TO RECALL THESE BAD SEALS AND BEARINGS? WHY SHOULD US THE OWNERS HAVE TO FIX COSTLY REPAIRS WHEN NISSAN KNOWS THEIR PRODUCTION EFFORTS WERE NOT PROPERLY TESTED BEFORE FIELDING THE DEALERSHIPS? PLEASE INFORM ME HOW TO GET IT FIXED FREE OF COST TO ME. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE SEALS TWICE ALREADY.(ONCE MARCH 2009 AND ONCE ABOUT 1.5 YEARS AGO. WARRANTY COVERED, BUT I AM GETTING CLOSE TO MY WARRANTY LIMIT. I KNOW THAT THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE THE FLUID LEAKS DOWN ON YOUR BRAKES, WHICH IS A BIG FACTORY FAULT. I WAS JUST HOPING THAT SOMEONE COULD HELP ME, AND OTHER TITAN OWNERS, FOR THE SAFETY AND MONEY, OUT OF POCKET WHEN WARRANTY IS UP. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND COME UP WITH SOMETYPE OF PERMANENT FIX. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR THANK YOU BRIAN CASTLE

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TRAVELED TO SYRACUSE, NY WITH FRIEND SON SUNDAY 2-22-09. NOTICED BRAKE NOISE AND WEAK BRAKING POWER. ON RETURN TO HOME IN EVENING, HAD NEAR ACCIDENT DUE TO BAD BRAKING. TOOK TRUCK TO NISSAN DEALER 2-24-09. DEALER SAID TRUCK OUT OF WARRANTY (11,868 MILES)HAD IT REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE MORE. THE PROBLEM IS TYPICAL OF THIS TRUCK DUE TO LIGHT USE. I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH DANGEROUS BRAKING POWER SINCE THE TRUCK IS NEARLY NEW. I ASKED NISSAN FOR A REFUND FOR THE REPAIR OF $ 1116.77 WHICH THEY CLAIMED WAS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THEY SHOULD NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE HAS A BAD ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS DEFECT IS CORRECTED. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL 2004 NISSAN TITAN FAILURE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING. BRAKE WARP AND SHAKE. THESE ARE OBVIOUS MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND NISSAN SHOULD FIX THEM AT NO COST TO OWNER. THESE ARE ALSO CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUES. WE ARE TALKING BRAKE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE REAR END LOCK UP. THIS IS UNHEARD OF WITH A VEHICLE WITH THIS MILEAGE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING, MY NISSAN TITAN BEGAN TO ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL. I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE MOTOR WAS TOO STRONG. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND THE MOTOR REDLINED AND I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE MOTOR OFF. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAYS THEIR COMPUTER DOES NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I AM WORRIED TO PUT MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE OR LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
MY 06 TITAN 4WD HAD JUST HAD REPAIRS TO THE TRANSMISSION DONE 2-3 DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. MY TRUCK HAD BEEN RUNNING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE AC AND RADIO GOING FOR SOME TIME WHILE I WAS DOING VARIOUS CLEANING AND OTHER STUFF OUTSIDE. I WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT COOLING OFF WITH MY EYES CLOSED WHEN MY NEIGHBOR CAME RUNNING OUT SCREAMING THAT MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE HOOD FLAMES WERE VISIBLE AND SMOKE. SHE CALLED THE FIRE DEPT WHILE I USED THE HOSE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE THE BEST I COULD UNTIL THE FIRE DEPT ARRIVED. A NISSAN REP INVESTIGATED THE FIRE AND SAID IT WAS NOT THE COMPANY PROBLEM. SHORTLY LATER I RECEIVE THE RECALL CONCERNING THE AC UNIT AND THAT IT MAY LEAD TO FIRE. WE HAD NO INSURANCE AT THE TIME BUT IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IS THIS LEGAL? *TR

OCCASIONALLY I WOULD HEAR A BANG ACCOMPANIED BY A VIBRATION WHILE MAKING TURNS. THE INTERVALS BETWEEN THE EVENTS BEGAN TO DECREASE AND WOULD OCCUR EVERY TIME I MADE A TURN. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE REAR WHEELS UNEXPECTEDLY LOCKED UP CAUSING SKIDDING. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THE REAR AXLE HOUSING AND DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY WERE REPLACED UNDER THE 5YR. / 60000MI POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY HEARD A BONG TWO DAYS LATER I FOUND A DENT UPWARD IN BED OF TRUCK AND FOUND A BROKEN SHACKLE. AFTER REPLACING PART AND LOOKING HOW IT WAS MADE YOU COULD SEE THAT IT A POOR DESIGN. ROLL METAL WITH 2 SMALL WELDS THAT PREVENT METAL FROM UNROLLING. ALL WEIGHT OF BACK OF TRUCK AND ANY JARRING CAUSE IT TO SAP. IF BOTH SIDE FAIL AND I HAD TO MAKE ANY SUDDEN MOVE YOU COULD LOOSE THE HOLE BACK SUSPENSION. I HAVE DIGITAL PICTURES OF FAIL PART IN QUESTION. *TR
