POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
I OWN A 2006 NISSAN TITAN WHICH HAS HAD TWO REAR AXLE SEALS LEAK. BOTH WERE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY BY MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN TITANS AND POSES A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE LEAKS ALLOW REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL TO LEAK ON THE REAR BRAKES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT LYNNES NISSAN IN STANHOPE, NJ. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT HAD FAILED AND THE THE 2006 NISSAN TITAN WHICH HAD ABOUT 36,600 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WAS OUT OF WARRENTY. I PAID LYNNES NISSAN $488.00 FOR THE REPAIR.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 TITAN CREW CAB SINCE 2008 AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE BRAKE SERVICE REQUESTS PERFORMED FOR "BRAKE JUDDER". PREVIOUS SOLUTION WAS TO TURN THE ROTORS BACK TO TRUE UNTIL ROTORS CAN NO LONGER BE TURNED AND NEW OEM ROTORS ARE ACQUIRED THAT WILL START THE WHOLE PROCESS OVER AGAIN. THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX FOR THE LARGER PROBLEM. BRAKE ROTOR SIZE AND MATERIAL SELECTED FOR THE 2006 NISSAN TITAN MODEL IS INADEQUATE TO PROVIDE ENOUGH SURFACE AREA AND VENTING FOR PROPER HEAT DISSIPATION TO PREVENT WARPAGE OF THE OEM BRAKE ROTORS. THIS BRAKE ROTOR TURNING SERVICE WAS PERFORMED 10,000 MILES AGO, 5,000 MILES AGO AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN NEED OF THE SAME SERVICE. A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES THAT IS DRIVEN LESS THAN 12,000 MILES PER YEAR SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD 3 BRAKE SERVICE ISSUES FOR THE SAME MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. MY PERSONAL SOLUTION (BECAUSE NISSAN HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DEFECT IN NEED OF A RECALL) IS TO UPGRADE THE OEM BRAKE HARDWARE WITH AFTERMARKET PERFORMANCE SLOTTED AND DIMPLED ROTORS AND CERAMIC BRAKE PADS TO PROVIDE FOR ADEQUATE HEAT DISSIPATION AND PREVENT ROTOR WARPAGE.

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP THAT HAS HAD THE REAR AXLE SEALS REPLACED TWO TIMES AND HAD IT IN FOR A THIRD TIME AND WAS TOLD IT WAS RESIDUAL OIL FROM THE PREVIOUS REPAIR AND NSENT ON MY AWY WEWLL IT WAS LEAKING AGAIN AND NOW HAS TO GO BACK FOR A FOURTH TIME IN ABOUT 3000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 28000 MILES ON IT. THIS LEAK HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GET GEAR OIL ALL OVER THE REAR DISC BRAKES CAUSING POOR BRAKING, ALSO IF THE REAR END SIEZED UP FROM LACK OF OIL IT COULD CAUSE YOU TO GO OUT OF CONTROL.

THE ENGINE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN AFTER LIFTING THE ACCELERATOR FOR ONE TO FIVE SECONDS. THIS OCCURS REGULARLY AND HAS CAUSED TWO VEHICLE TO OBJECT ACCIDENTS. THIS OCCURS IN TRAFFIC, SLOW SPEEDS, HIGH SPEEDS, FORWARD, REVERSE, AND IS EASILY RECREATED. DEALER TECH COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN IN JULY 08. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN THE ENGINE ROARED THE TRUCK QUICKLY MOVED FORWARD AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED THE TRUCK WAS A CEMENT SPINDLE FENCE. I DESTROYED 10 FEET OF FENCE AND MY INSURANCE HAD TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO NISSAN AND THEY CHECKED IT, BUT THEY STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY THEN PERFORMED THE 30000 MILE MAINTENANCE FOR APPROX $600. THE NISSAN SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT I MUST HAVE PUSHED THE GAS AND THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME TO CAUSE THE ACCIDENT. I THEN TOOK THE TRUCK TO AN OPEN FIELD AND PUSHED THE BRAKE AND THE GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME AND THE TIRES JUST SPUN AND THE TRUCK DID NOT MOVE. I TRIED THE SAME THING IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT, THE TIRES SPUN AND THE TRUCK DID NOT MOVE. I ENDED UP GETTING RID OF THE TRUCK BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID IF THE TRUCK SPED FORWARD ON ITS OWN AGAIN AND I COULD NOT STOP IT I MIGHT GET HURT OR KILLED. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO ROAR AND CAUSE THE TRUCK TO SPEED FORWARD. I FILED A POLICE/ACCIDENT REPORT WITH THE LOCAL POLICE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES TO HAVE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED. THE FIRST TIME THE GAUGE WAS STUCK ON QUARTER OF A TANK OF FUEL WHEN I RAN OUT AND STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING A BUSINESS LUNCH. EACH TIME AFTER WAS DIFFERENT POINTS ON THE GAUGE, BUT ALWAYS THE SAME PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY CLAIM THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED WITH THE UNIT, BUT MY TRUCK AND I DISAGREE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN AND JUST BEFORE 60,000 MILES THE REAR END FAILED. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 65MPH. THE REAR STARTED TO MAKE NOISE SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO TAKE A LOOK. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK THERE WAS DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ALL OVER THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND UNDER. SO I CALLED A TOW TRUCK. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED I PULL MY TRUCK UP TO THE FLAT BED, WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WENT TO PULL MY NISSAN UP ON THE FLAT BED THE REAR END WAS LOCKED UP, I HAD IT IN NEUTRAL AT THE TIME. I STARTED MY TRUCK AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE, I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO NOTICE MY DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN OFF AND WAS ON THE GROUND. THIS WAS VERY UPSETTING, I JUST KEPT THINKING WHAT IF I HAD THE MUSIC ON OR SOMETHING AND DIDN'T HEAR THE NOISE WHEN I DID. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. A LOCKED UP REAR END OR A DRIVE SHAFT FALLING OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THERE ARE QUITE A BIT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I LOVE MY TRUCK AND HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT, DID ALL MY REQUIRED SERVICES. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I STILL FELL UNDER THE 60,000MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, I HAD ABOUT 56K AT THE TIME, AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR END ASSEMBLY. I WOULD ASSUME THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE FOUND, AND SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR
