POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
AFTER FILLING TRUCK WITH GAS, I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND MADE A RIGHT TURN ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. AS I WAS STRAIGHTENING THE TRUCK, I HEARD A LOUD THUNK, AND THEN THE TRUCK BEGAN LURCHING BADLY. I MADE IT HOME TAKING IT EASY ON THE GAS AND COASTING AROUND TURNS, BUT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS HOT TO THE TOUCH AFTER 1/2 MILE. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
AXLE SEAL LEAK. RIGHT REAR SEAL. FLUID CAUSED PARKING BRAKE TO SLIP SLIGHTLY. OCCURRED AT 37,000 MILES ON 2004 NISSAN TITAN 4X4. DEALER REPAIRED AND REPLACED UNDER NISSAN 60,000 MILE POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY. [FORUM MEMBERS GENERALLY BELIEVE THE REAR AXLE BREATHER ELEMENT, (A ONE WAY CHECK VALVE), CREATES A VACUUM THAT SUCKS THE SEALS, THEREBY CREATING THE LEAK. SOME EVEN REMOVE THE ELEMENT AND INSTALL TUBING INTO THEIR TAIL LIGHT TO ALLEVIATE THE CHECK VALVE AND STILL PREVENT WATER INTRUSION INTO THE DIFFERENTIAL/AXLE]. *JB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS, VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 5/29/06 FROM VICTORY NISSAN OF RICHMOND. ONE WEEK LATER PROPERTY WAS STOLEN WHEN A SUNROOF WAS INSTALLED. AT THE END OF JUNE, BRAKES FAILED AND PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED GOING ON INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, DRIVER SEAT IS CROOKED. DEALER SAID THEY BLED THE BRAKES AND CLUTCH(?). THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC. ALSO, THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG (THEN WHY DOES LIGHT KEEP COMING ON AND STAYING ON?) AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SEAT. LAST NIGHT (8/15/06) MY BRAKES FAILED AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER THIS MORNING. I ADVISE THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THESE WERE LIFE SAFETY ISSUES AND SHOULD FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW. I WAS ADVISED THE LEMON LAW WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM AND I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT NISSAN USA FOR ASSISTANCE. IS IT STILL NOT THEIR CONCERN WHEN THE FAULTY PRODUCT THEY SOLD FAILS AND CAUSES LOSS OF LIFE??? *NM

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
THE REAR AXLE SEALS ON THE NISSAN TITAN YEARS 2004-CURRENT HAVE A SEVERE AND PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH LEAKING. I HAVE HAD MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN IN THE SHOP ONCE TO REPLACE THE RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL AT 18,000 MILES AND NOW AT 20,000 MILES IT IS LEAKING AGAIN. THE LOCATION OF THE LEAK IS WHAT WORRIES ME. WHEN THE AXLE SEAL FAILS, IT SPRAYS GEAR OIL ON THE BRAKE COMPONENTS (ROTORS, CALIPERS, PADS) AND I AM WORRIED THAT THE PADS WILL BECOME CONTAMINATED AND NOT WORK EFFECTIVELY WHEN TO STOP MY TRUCK IN CASE OF A SUDDEN STOP. *NM

WATER LEAKS INSIDE OF TRUCK THROUGH THE FIRE WALL. A/C DRAIN HOSE FIX WAS DONE BUT IT STILL LEAKS WATER. DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO REPAIR. WATER INSIDE OF TRUCK CAUSED MOLD TO GROW IN THE CARPET AND SPORES INTO THE HVAC SYSTEM. THIS CAUSED TWO PEOPLE TO HAVE TO GO TO THE DOCTOR FOR DIFFICULTY BREATHING. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR 1 1/2 YEARS. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAD A HEAVY PULSATING OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND BRAKE PEDAL DURING ROUTINE BRAKING I INFORMED MY DEALER OF THIS AT 8500 MILES AND WAS INFORMED THIS IS NORMAL. AT 9,000 MILES I WAS INSISTENT THAT THEY LOOK AT MY TRUCK AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS, PADS, TORQUE MEMBER, REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS AND MACHINE THE REAR ROTORS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WOULD NEED TO BE DONE ABOUT EVERY 6,000 TO 9,000 MILES BECAUSE THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS TOO SMALL FOR A TRUCK THIS SIZE. *NM
