SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKES WERE UNDERRATED (TOO SMALL) TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE STOPPING ABILITY FOR A VEHICLE OF THAT SIZE. AS A RESULT, THE BRAKES DUG INTO THE ROTORS AND CAUSED MASSIVE DAMAGE TO THE POINT THAT THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE BRAKES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE BRAKE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 12,850.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
DRIVERS SIDE DOOR MECHANISM FREEZES. DOOR CAN BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE BUT WILL NOT LATCH AND CLOSE PROPERLY. THIS CAUSE THE DRIVER TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED OR TO LOCK THEMSELVES IN THE CAR, TO TRY AND DEFEAT THE LATCH MECHANISM. NISSAN DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED, BUT THEY CLAIM NO MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBILITY, ALTHOUGH THEY DO HAVE A $500 FIX, FOR THIS NON-SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
AT 64,000 MILES, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BLEW UP ON ME. THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000. THE BAD THING ABOUT IT IS IT IS COSTING ME $3,600 TO GET IT FIXED. NISSAN WOULD NOT HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. I JUST PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, IF THIS FAILURE HAPPENED TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY, I PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE ON THIS WEBSITE RIGHT NOW. IT FELT LIKE I WAS REAR-ENDED BY A MAC TRUCK! AND I WAS ONLY DRIVING 15MPH. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. EVEN IF THEY TAKE CARE OF MY PROBLEM, THERE MANY TITANS AND ARMADAS ON THE ROAD. *TR

I ONLY REALIZED THIS AS THE CAR ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NISSIN DEALER. I DID FIND OUT A PARTIAL RECALL WAS STARTED FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
THE REAR AXLE SEALS ON MY '04 NISSAN TITAN, ARE LEAKING. THIS IS APPARENTLY CAUSED BY A POORLY DESIGNED BREATHER VALVE. I HAVE CHECKED MANY FORUMS, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. MY TRUCK IS, AND HAS BEEN FOR A WHILE, OUT OF WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THIS SEEMS THE PROBLEM IS A DEFECT, AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH. HOWEVER, THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I HAVE HAD LOOK AT IT, DOES NOT SEE IT THAT WAY. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING: HTTP://WWW.TITANTALK.COM/FORUMS/TITAN-ENGINE-TRANSMISSION-DRIVETRAIN/42837-REAR-AXLE-SEALS-LEAKS-PLEASE-REPORT.HTML. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 65 & 70 MPH AND THE ENGINE WENT INTO FAIL SAFE MODE AND BASICALLY RAN AT IDLE SPEED (10 MILES PER HOUR). I PARKED THE TRUCK, TURNED OFF ENGINE, RESTARTED, IT REMAINED IN IDLE SPEED ONLY, TURNED OFF ENGINE AND LEFT OFF FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES - IT STARTED AND RAN NORMAL. DEALER REPLACED ECM. THIS OCCURRED IN MAY 2007 AND THEN MY SON WAS DRIVING TODAY APRIL 2, 2008 AT ABOUT 45 MPH AND ENGINE JUST CUT OFF COMPLETELY (NOW AT THE DEALER). THIS IS HIGH RISK - IMAGINE TURNING ACROSS A LANE OF TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE QUITTING OR PULLING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY AND TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED AND ENGINE QUITTING. *TR

THE VEHICLES FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AT 34,250 MILES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON MANY ONLINE FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY RESOLVE WITH JUST BEING FIXED. I WAS VERY UPSET TO FIND OUT THAT WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY 2 CHILDREN WHILE HELPING HER MOTHER MOVE, THAT THE AXLE ON THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN SEPARATING. MY TRUCK IS NOT UTILIZED FOR HAULING LARGE LOADS OR TOWING OF ANY KIND. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE AND RATTLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEY INSISTED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE STEERING FAILURE WAS ABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE STEERING RACK FORCE WAS ADJUSTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE IS FIVE MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WILL NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,800 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,021. UPDATED 07/07/08. *LJ UPDATED *JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
IN COLD TEMPERATURES THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR ON OUR 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO OR WILL NOT OPEN. WHEN IT DOES OPEN IT SOMETIMES WILL NOT LATCH WHEN CLOSED SO THE DOOR WOULD SWING OPEN IF THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED. IF IT DOES LATCH WHEN CLOSED IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT WOULD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE DRIVER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE LEFT SIDE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME THE TEMPERATURE IS 30 DEGREES F OR BELOW. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
BOUGHT THE NISSAN TITAN USED IN NOVEMBER OF 2007. I RECENTLY FOUND A WET SPOT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL (INSIDE) UNDER THE BRAKE ROTOR. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TITAN. IT'S A LEAKING AXLE SEAL. THIS LEAK WAS CAUSING BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK AROUND AND POSSIBLE ONTO THE BRAKE ROTOR, CALIPERS, AND PADS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM DUE TO POSSIBLE FIRE AND OR BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS FAILED 3 TIMES. NISSAN REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE 3 REAR END. THIS COST ME 2,900.00 PLUS TOWING. THERE HAVE BEEN 6 BRAKING FAILURES. I HAVE PAID FOR THE LAST 3 BRAKE JOBS. IN ONE CASE THE FRONT BRAKES FELL OUT ON THE GROUND. NISSAN DID NOT COVER THIS THIS COST INCLUDING THE TOW. TO DATE THIS TRUCK HAS COST ME OVER 4000,00 AND AT LEAST 60 DAY OF DOWN TIME. *TR
