FRONT DRIVE SHAFT ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN SE KING CAB "BINDED" UP ACCORDING TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THUS CREATING VIBRATION IN THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND THEREBY DESTROYING THE OIL SEAL AND CORRESPONDING BEARINGS IN THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE. ALL TOLD, MY TRUCK SITS IN A REPAIR SHOP NEEDING NEW FRONT HUBS (R AND L), A NEW FRONT DRIVE SHAFT, AND A NEW TRANSFER CASE. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS SUBSTANTIAL, AROUND FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS. I AM NOT SURE IF MY THIRD PARTY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL COVER THE DAMAGES OR NOT. I AM AWAITING WORD FROM THE WARRANTY COMPANY TO DISCOVER WHAT INDEED THEY WILL COVER BEFORE I HAVE THE TRUCK REPAIRED. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, SEAT BELTS
I BOUGHT A 07 NISSAN TITAN IN JULY OF 07. RIGHT AWAY I FOUND THAT THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WERE NOT WORKING. INCLUDING THE AIR BAG. I HAD IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN DEC 08. I ONCE AGAIN HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED. I WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION ON JAN, 23 AT 8:30 PM. I WAS GOING 45 MILES AN HOUR AND HIT A CEMENT AND MEDAL SIGNAL POLE. THE IMPACT WAS IN THE CENTER ON THE TRUCK. MY SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. WHEN YOU BUY A NEW CAR THE SAFETY IS PART OF WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR AND WHEN IT DOES NOT WORK IT IS VERY SCARY. *TR

MY TRUCK SOUNDED SLIGHTLY LOUDER THAN NORMAL ON MY SHORT DRIVE HOME. I WAS DRIVING ON A 35MPH ROAD AND SOMETHING DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT. IT SOUNDED LIKE MY TIRES WERE OUT OF ALIGNMENT. I DROVE THE HALF MILE HOME ON THE 35MPH ROAD IN 2WD. I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AND LOOKED AT MY TIRES AND UNDER MY TRUCK. EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL. THE NEXT MORNING I NOTICED SOME OIL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I SAW IT WAS COMING FROM MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AXLE SEAL. MY AXLE WAS PULLED LOOSE FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL BECAUSE SOME WEAK CLIP THAT HELD THE ASSEMBLY TOGETHER HAS BROKEN. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO GET AN ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A ONE OF A KIND PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME IT WOULD BE SEVERAL DAYS TO GET PARTS AND REPAIR THE DAMAGE. THEY ESTIMATED THE COST WOULD BE BETWEEN $350-$600 TO REPLACE THE FRONT RIGHT AXLE, AXLE SEAL, AND CLIP. ADDITIONAL COST AND PARTS WOULD BE NECESSARY IF ANY FURTHER DAMAGE WAS FOUND IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

THE VEHICLE IS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN SE KING CAB 4X4 PICKUP TRUCK WITH APPROX. 60K MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD IN TWO WHEEL DRIVE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS THE C-CLIP THAT RETAINS THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AXLE WITHIN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED ALLOWING THE AXLE TO SEPARATE FROM THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL, DISABLING THE CAPABILITY OF THE ENGAGING FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, AND DAMAGING THE EXTERNAL SPLINES ON THE AXLE SHAFT, AS WELL AS THE INTERNAL ENGAGING SPLINES IN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED DUE TO THE TRUCK BEING OUT OF THE 60K MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BY THE TIME I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. PARTS AND LABOR ESTIMATED AT ~$3400. *TR

I CONTINUE TO HAVE A CONSTANT WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL UNIT AT 55 & 60 MPH. THE UNIT WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT 29335 MILES BECAUSE IT WAS WHINING AT 55 MPH. THE NEW UNIT WAS QUIT WHEN NEW BUT NOW IS AS LOUD AS THE PREVIOUS ONE AT 60MPH. THIS SOUND IS ANNOYING & NEVER GOES AWAY WHILE DRIVING THESE SPEEDS. I AM CONCERNED IT IS A DESIGN FLAW & WILL EITHER FAIL WHEN IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY OR CAUSE ME TO BE STRANDED. I HEAR A LOT ABOUT AXLE SEAL LEAKS & DIFF. UNITS FAILING ON THE TITANS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE TRUCK IS APPROX. 35K. *TR

JUST HEARD FROM MY NISSAN DEALER, THEY SAID MY REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING. I READ THIS COULD CAUSE BRAKING ISSUES. THIS TRUCK HAS 61,000 MILES AND THE NISSAN TITAN'S HAVE BEEN KNOW TO HAVE FAULTY REAR AXLE SEALS. DEALER WANTS ME TO REPLACE, BUT SEEM WHERE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE ESPECIALLY AT 61,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A LONG TERM WEAR ITEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I BOUGHT A NISSAN TITAN NEW IN MAY OF 2004. PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES WERE IMMEDIATE. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE BRAKES, ROTORS, ETC. A COUPLE OF TIMES DUE TO DEFECTS. THEY NOW SAY THAT THE BRAKES ARE OUT OF WARRANTY SO I AM DOING IT ON MY OWN AND OFTEN. THIS PAST WEEKEND I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. I WENT AND BOUGHT ANOTHER SET OF BRAKES AND ROTORS. WHILE CHANGING THEM, NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES CALIPERS WERE CRACKED AND RUSTED. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER, WAITING ON A DECISION FROM THEM TO SEE IF THEY WILL FIX THEM. TRUCK IS UNDER WARRANTY, AND EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED FROM NISSAN. THESE WERE SUPPOSE TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER BEFORE, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY DID. I AM PAYING A TRUCK PAYMENT EVERY MONTH FOR A TRUCK THAT BASICALLY SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. WE NEVER KNOW IF THE BRAKES WILL WORK. NISSAN DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ADMITTED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM DESIGN. I FEAR THAT SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED IF NISSAN DOESN'T STEP UP AND PUT AN END TO THE BRAKE ISSUE. *TR

SEAT BELTS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE THE DATE IT WAS PURCHASED. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND THE BRAKING POWER WAS LOST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ROTORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM (ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS) HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES SINCE THE ORIGINAL FAILURE DATE. WHEN ADULTS USE THE REAR SEAT SAFETY BELTS, THEY BECOME TIGHTER AS THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED. THE SEAT BELTS CAUSE A GREAT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO THE NECK AND CHEST AREA AND HAVE TO BE RELEASED AND RECONNECTED FOR SAFETY. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000.
