I WAS DRIVING LIKE NORMAL CAME TO A FOUR WAY STOP LIGHT AT A BUSY HIGHWAY INTERSECTION, STOPPED AND PRECEDED TO GO WHEN IT WAS MY TURN. MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL GRENADED AND I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY I NEW I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND I PUT MY TRUCK INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND LET MY FRONT TIRES PULL ME THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I THEN PULLED OVER TO A SAFE SPOT AND LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE. GEAR OIL ALL OVER MY TRUCK AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS FORTUNATE TO REACT QUICKLY. BUT THIS REALLY COULD HAVE BEEN BAD. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MY DEALER AND IT COST ME $3500 FOR A NEW REAR END. THEY (NISSAN DEALERSHIP) REPLACED THE WHOLE AXLE ASSEMBLY. THEY TOLD ME NISSAN WOULD ONLY LET THEM REPLACE THE WHOLE THING AND NOT JUST THE GEARS. FISHY IF YOU ASK ME. A NORMAL REAR DIFFERENTIAL FIX SHOULD COST LESS THAN $1000. SOUNDS LIKE NISSAN KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM!!!! *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN ALL FREEZE SHUT WHEN IT GETS COLD OUT. IT SEEMS TO LET WATER COME IN AROUND HANDLE AND THAN IT FREEZES. THIS PREVENT ME FROM BEING ABLE TO GAIN ENTRANCE INTO VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS EVERYTIME IT IS COLD OUT ESPECIALLY IN WINTER. NISSAN REFUSES TO PAY FOR REPAIRS AS VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT WILL COST ROUGHLY $175 FOR PARTS PER DOOR PLUS LABOR. I GUESS IN LATER MODELS THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THEM BUT REFUSES TO FIX VEHICLES WITH OLD OLD DESIGNED HANDLES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
NISSAN FAILED TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION UNDER THE 60K POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT 56K MILES, AND HAS BEEN OUT OF USE SINCE NOVEMBER 11TH. THE VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THE NORTH CAROLINA LEMON LAW: AS WITH OTHER LEMON LAWS, IT IS REQUIRED THAT AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS REPURCHASE OR REPLACE A VEHICLE THAT HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY REPAIRED WITHIN A "REASONABLE NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS". IN NORTH CAROLINA, THIS REASONABLE NUMBER IS FOUR ATTEMPTS OR IF THE CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE WAITING REPAIR FOR A CUMULATIVE TOTAL OF 20 OR MORE BUSINESS DAYS DURING ANY 12-MONTH PERIOD OF THE WARRANTY. IT HAS BEEN OUT SINCE NOVEMBER 11TH, AND THEY STILL WANT ME TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THE TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY SHOULD COVER IT NO QUESTIONS ASKED. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN, LAST WEEK I NOTICED WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING CORNERS THERE WAS BANGING COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. WITHIN 2 DAYS THE TRUCK WAS UNDRIVABLE...THE DRIVESHAFT, WHILE IN GEAR WOULD JUST SPIN INSIDE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE VEHICLE WAS TO PLACE TRANSMISSION INTO 4WD AND USE THE FRONT WHEELS TO MOVE THE TRUCK! *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2004 NISSAN TITAN SE 4X4 OFF ROAD KING CAB ANYTIME THE WEATHER IS AT OR BELOW 20 DEG F BOTH DOORS FREEZE SHUT. I CANNOT USE THE DOOR HANDLES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE TRUCK TO OPEN THE DOORS. IF I ATTEMPT TO MANUALLY ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE THE WINDOW IS SOMETIMES FROZEN AS WELL AND WILL NOT MOVE. IN WEATHER AROUND 20-25 DEF F THE DOOR HANDLES WILL SOMETIMES WORK TO OPEN THE DOORS BUT THE HANDLES AND INTERNAL DOOR CABLES WILL NOT MOVE BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL POSITION TO ALLOW THE DOOR TO CLOSE AND LATCH PROPERLY LEAVING THE DOORS IN AN OPEN STATE. THIS POSSES A SAFETY RISK TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE IF IT IS DRIVEN IN THIS STATE. THIS OCCURS ANYTIME THE AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE REACHES AROUND +20 DEG F NISSAN HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY ALTHOUGH A TSB NTB05-118A EXISTS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED ONE EXTERNAL DOOR HANDLE THAT WAS BROKEN AS A RESULT OF EXCESS FORCE BY TRYING TO OPEN A FROZEN DOOR. *TR

COMMENT ON REAR-END FAILURE: REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED LEAVING A GAS STATION AT 10 MPH WITH NO TRAILER DISABLING DRIVER FROM HAVING PROPER CONTROL OF VEHICLE WITH INTERMITTENT DRIVE/POWER-TRAIN CAPABILITIES AND DISTRACTING POPPING/GRINDING SOUNDS OF FAILED COMPONENTS IN REAR DIFFERENTIAL. UPON REMOVING REAR DIFFERENTIAL INTERNAL GEARS FOUND BOTH SPIDER GEARS HAD NUMEROUS TEETH BROKEN OFF WHILE ALL OTHER INTERNAL GEARS LOOKED "NORMAL". NISSAN1 (CASE/FILE#6346683) AND MY LOCAL DEALER/SERVICE MANAGER OFFERED NO WARRANTY REPLACEMENT HELP AFTER IT WAS REQUESTED. REPAIR FROM NISSAN WAS QUOTED AT $3,604.67 FOR COMPLETE AXLE ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT AND ONLY OFFERS A 12,000 MILE X 12 MONTH WARRANTY! VEHICLE HAD 69,960 MILES AT TIME OF DEFECT/MALFUNCTION. REAR DIFFERENTIAL UPGRADED TO A DETROIT TRUETRAC (LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL) AT OWNERS EXPENSE BUT TO LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE NISSAN REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY/COMPONENTS AND REPORTED FAILURE CASES WITH MINIMUM NISSAN COOPERATION! THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ON ALL TITANS. PLEASE HELP! *TR
