DURING ROUTINE INSPECTION, I FOUND THAT THE RIGHT REAR AXEL SEAL WAS LEAKING SO MUCH THAT IT HAD ACTUALLY MOISTENED THE BRAKE CALIPER AND ROTOR. THIS IS CAUSING MY TRUCK TO PULL TO THE LEFT DURING NORMAL BRAKING APPLICATIONS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THE DEALER REPAIRED THE ROTORS AND OTHER BRAKE RELATED FAILURES. AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE CONTACT HEARD METAL GRINDING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. HE RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE FINE. THE CONTACT CLAIMS THAT THE DEALER WAITED FOR THE WARRANTY TO EXPIRE SO THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VIN AND MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

SUSPENSION:REAR
2004 NISSAN TITAN WAS BROUGHT IN FOR EXHAUST MAINTENANCE. UPON INSPECTION, MECHANICS NOTICED AXLE SEAL LEAKS ON BOTH REAR TIRES. NISSAN DEALER OFFERED TO REPLACED SEALS ALTHOUGH VEHICLE IS 7000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN WARRANTY WORK WAS INITIATED, DEALER THEN STATED THAT BOTH REAR AXLES WERE NOW DAMAGED DUE TO THE FAULTY AXLE SEALS. NISSAN OFFERED NO COVERAGE FOR THE AXLES, AND STATED THAT AXLE SEALS COULD STILL BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT WOULD ONLY ACT AS A "BANDAID" FOR ABOUT 1000 MILES BEFORE LEAKING WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. AT THIS POINT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE SHACKLE BLEW APART RESULTING IN THE SPRING ALMOST BREAKING THOUGH THE BED METAL. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEED ON A CURVE I FEEL THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE NEGATIVE. I TAKE EXCEPTIONAL CARE OF MY TRUCK AND DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED LOADS OR TOWING LIMITS. I'VE OWNED SEVEN DIFFERENT TRUCKS IN MY LIFETIME AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY INCIDENT LIKE THIS HAPPEN. I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE A GOOD, HARD LOOK AT THE TYPE OF MATERIALS AND DESIGN INVOLVED IN THIS BRACKET, AS IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BROKEN ON A 3 YEAR OLD TRUCK, DRIVEN ON-ROAD WITH 58,000 MILES ON IT. I FIND THIS TO BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE ( A 2004 NISSAN TITAN) HAS 30 THOUSAND PLUS MILES,CAREFULLY MAINTAINED (NO SALT) AND WAS PULLING A 7500 POUND BOAT ON PA I-79 WHEN IT LOST ALL POWER,INCLUDING ALL LIGHTS (INCLUDING REAR AND HAZARD) .THIS RESULTED IN A FIRE WHICH TOTALLY DISABLED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. THE TAIL PIPE HAD FALLEN OFF AND BURNED DOZENS OF ELECTRICAL WIRES. THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES ON THE NET AND TO DEALERS. IT SHOULD STRONGLY BE NOTED THAT HAD THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED ON NY I-90 WHERE THERE IS NO SAFE PLACE TO PULL OFF OR AT NIGHT ANYWHERE, MANY LIVES WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST. THIS DEFECT MUST RECEIVE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT OR PAY FOR REPAIRS. *TR

DRIVING ON FREEWAY - HEARD MODERATE BANG FROM BACK OF TRUCK AND THEN HOWLING BEGAN. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED AS REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE AND QUOTES $2000 TO REPLACE. SERVICE MANAGER SHOWED ME A PILE OF TITAN AXLES IN ONE SERVICE BAY AWAITING PICKUP BY NISSAN. HE WAS AMAZED THAT MINE LASTED AS LONG AS IT DID (104560 MILES). EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM INSIDE THE NISSAN WORLD, NISSAN IS NOT WILLING TO MAKE ANY CONCESSIONS OR FIXING THIS AT A DISCOUNT. *TR

THE RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL IS LEAKING REALLY BAD TO WHERE ITS GOING DOWN THE BACK OF THE BRAKE ROTOR AND DRIPPING ON THE RIM. IT HAS CAUSE MY BRAKE ,SLIP LIGHT TO COME ONE. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF TITAN OWNERS. I M AFRAID THAT IT WILL GET ONTO MY BRAKES AND CAUSE THEM NOT TO WORK. I HAVE 76K MILES ON MY TRUCK AND HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE TACHOMETER HIT 3500 RPM AND THE ENGINE WENT FLAT. THERE WAS NO TYPE OF WARNING LIGHTS, IT WOULD REV UP TILL IT REACHED 3500 RPM AND THEN IT WOULD JUST CUT OUT LIKE IT HAD HIT THE REV LIMITER. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT A LOW SPEED MISFIRE WAS THE ONLY CODE IN THE MEMORY AND THEY FELT THE PROBLEM WITH THE RPM WAS THE FUEL PUMP AS THEY HAD ALREADY REPLACED TWO 04 TITAN FUEL PUMPS. I CALLED BACK SEVERAL DAYS LATER AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS NOT THE PUMP BUT THAT TWO OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WERE DAMAGED DUE TO THE MISFIRE. THEY HAD THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD UNHOOKED AND THE TRUCK RAN FINE. I HAD BOTH OF THE CONVERTERS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP WAS ONLY PUTTING OUT 34 PSI AT IDLE AND SHOULD BE 60. THEY ALSO SAID BECAUSE OF THE LOW FUEL PRESSURE THAT BOTH OF THE FRONT CONVERTERS WERE DAMAGED AND WERE NOW FAILING. THEY TOO STATED THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE 04 FUEL PUMPS. I CONTACTED NISSAN (FILE NUMBER 6258543) AND ABOUT THIS AND RECEIVED NO HELP OTHER THAN BEING TOLD TO "HAVE A NICE DAY!' I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND DOZEN OF INCIDENTS WHERE THIS HAS HAPPEN TO OTHER OWNERS AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO STEM FROM A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM ON THE 2004 TITAN. IN SOME CASES THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED WHEN THE CATALYTIC EXPLODED UPON THE RAW FUEL FROM THE MISFIRE REACHING THE CONVERTER. IT EXPLODED SENDING PIECES OF THE CONVERTER INTO THE ENGINE CYLINDER. NISSAN HAS NO TYPE OF SCREEN OR MESH IN THE CONVERTER TO CONTAIN ANY PIECES IN CASE OF A FAILURE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS PASSING THE SEMI WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE COMING HEAD ON, THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FATALITIES. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED! *TR
