AT 66,000 MILES THE REAR END SPIDER GEARS DISINTEGRATED CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE PINION GEARS AS WELL. NISSAN DOES NOT PROVIDE PARTS FOR THIS- BUT REQUIRE THE CUSTOMER TO PURCHASE THE ENTIRE REAR END WHICH COSTS $2800.00. I AM 6000 MILES OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY BUT THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER ANY TYPE OF COMPENSATION FOR A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE GEAR MATERIAL AND POOR QUALITY. MY NISSAN SERVICE WRITER SUBMITTED A REQUEST AND WAS DENIED BY NISSAN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OVER A POTHOLE, THE CONTACT HEARD LOUD NOISES COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AGO, WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD A MUCH LOUDER NOISE AND THE VEHICLE DROVE AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO GET AWAY. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, SHE DISCOVERED THAT THE LEAF SPRING PUNCTURED THROUGH THE TRUCK BED. THE CONTACT HAS PHOTOS AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

2005 NISSAN TITAN REAR END GEARS WENT OUT. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE RING AND PINION GEARS ALONG WITH THE SPIDER GEAR SET UP. BASICALLY REBUILD THE ENTIRE REAREND. I HAVE READ SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ISSUE TO THIS WEBSITE. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT. I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE REAREND LOCKED UP AND I SLID OFF THE ROAD. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME WHEN I SLID OFF THE ROAD OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

ONLY 65,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND NO MODIFICATIONS. RIGHT REAR SEAL LEAKING, PINION SEAL IS SHOT AND FRONT LEFT AXLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. NOTHING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM LOOKING AT A $3,000 REPAIR BILL ON A 4 YEAR OLD TRUCK THAT HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD AND DOESN'T HAVE HIGH MILES. MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD ALSO CRACKED AT ABOUT 60000 MILES. THIS WAS ABLE TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
BRAKES ON 2004 NISSAN TITAN FAILED WHILE STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. JUST PRIOR TO FAILURE, BRAKE LIGHT LIT UP ON DASHBOARD. NISSAN DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE BRAKES THEMSELVES WERE FINE BUT THAT THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE BRAKES "LOST ITS PROGRAMMING." I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT I AM THE 3RD CUSTOMER IN 6 MONTHS TO HAVE THIS EVENT OCCUR TO THEM. TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THE DEALER MUST "REPROGRAM THE VDC SYSTEM." DEALER WAS UNABLE TO TELL ME WHY THIS HAPPENED OR ASSURE ME THAT THE BRAKE FAILURE WILL NOT REOCCUR. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND NISSAN HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE LED TO A CATASTROPIC ACCIDENT HAD THE BRAKES FAILED DURING A CRITICAL TIME. I AM CONCERNED THAT NISSAN HAS A KNOWN BRAKE PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL IN PLACE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN, BOTH OF MY REAR AXLE SEALS FAILED WITH ONLY 48,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE FLUID LEAKS AXLE LUBRICANT BY THE REAR WHEELS, WHICH GETS ONTO THE REAR DISK BRAKES, WHICH MAKES THE REAR BRAKES INEFFECTIVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING A TRAILER. NISSAN REPLACED THE SEALS, HOWEVER THE POPULAR BELIEF OF THE CAUSE OF THIS IS A 1-WAY VALVE VENT THAT ALLOWS THE PRESSURE WITHIN THE AXLE TO ESCAPE, BUT DOESN'T LET AIR BACK INTO THE AXLE. THIS OCCURRENCE CAUSES A VACUUM INSIDE THE AXLE, WHICH PULLS ON THE AXLE SEALS AND CAUSES THEM TO AGE PREMATURELY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD AN ODD EXHAUST SOUND FROM MY NISSAN TITAN FOR OVER 18 MONTHS. WHEN I FINALLY TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED AND REPAIRS COST $1400.00. I WAS TOLD A THE DEALER AND AT SEVERAL MUFFLER SHOPS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT DUE THE CAST NATURE OF THE MANIFOLD AND THE EXCESSIVE WEIGHT OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WELDED ONTO THE MANIFOLD. THE REPLACEMENT PART WERE A NEW DESIGN AND THE DEALER SAID THEY WILL NOT CRACK. SINCE MY TRUCK HAD 105,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE SERVICE WAS DONE THERE IS NO WARRANTY COVERAGE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE 2004 AND 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUPS AND THE COST OF REPAIRS SHOULD BE BORNE BY NISSAN AND NOT BY THE CONSUMER. I AM HOPING THAT THERE WILL BE A CLASS ACTION SUITE FILED ON THE CONSUMER'S BEHALF EITHER BY AN INDIVIDUAL, THE STATE OR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING OUT OF A TURN, I HEARD A NUMBER OF LOUD CLUNKS AND FELT TRUCK KICK. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED. CONVENIENTLY, THIS WAS AT 66K MILES, JUST 6 OUT OF WARRANTY. I WAS QUOTED NEARLY 4K TO REPAIR, BECAUSE NISSAN DOES NOT SELL THE PARTS TO REBUILD, JUST THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY, TIRE TO TIRE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL UNDER BRAKING. NISSAN HAS IDENTIFIED THAT 2004 AND EARLY 2005 TITANS WERE BUILT WITH BRAKE ROTORS THAT ARE TOO SMALL, RESULTING IN THE ROTORS WARPING DUE TO OVERHEATING. NISSAN CALLS THIS ISSUE BRAKE JUDDERING AND HAS ISSUED THREE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING FIXING THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING AN UPGRADED (BIGGER ROTORS) BRAKE KIT. NISSAN EXTENDED THE BRAKE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE TO 36 MONTHS/36,000MILES. I AM UNDER THE MILEAGE LIMIT (31,000) BUT HAVE EXCEEDED THE TIME LIMIT BY ONE MONTH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THEY NEED TO BE WILLING TO REPLACE THE ROTORS FOR ANY VEHICLE ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED WITH THE UNDERSIZED ROTORS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT MY ROTORS ARE WARPED AND RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT. *TR
