SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CALIPER
I PURCHASED MY NISSAN TITAN IN JAN OF 2006, AND SINCE THEN HAVE BEEN PLAGUED BY REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. THE MOST RECENT AND MOST ANNOYING HAS BEEN THE FRONT BRAKES. OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW WEEKS, MY TRUCK WOULD START TO SHUDDER VIOLENTLY WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. UPON HAVING THE PROBLEM SERVICED I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. THE ENTIRE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM WAS REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME.

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
THE SEAT BELT RETRACTORS IN THE REAR ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY DO NOT ALLOW FOR MOVEMENT, AND GET TIGHTER AND TIGHTER UNTIL YOU HAVE TO UNBUCKLE (DEFEATING THE PURPOSE OF A SEAT BELT) AND READJUST. SEE THE OTHER IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE FOR DETAILS. MY PROBLEM IS JUST AS THEY DESCRIBE. IN DEALING WITH THE NISSAN DEALER, THEY FIRST SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE SERVICE WRITER TO THE VEHICLE, AND DEMONSTRATED THE PROBLEM FOR HIM. HE THEN REPLIED "OH THAT PROBLEM (I HAD MADE THE PROBLEM PERFECTLY CLEAR WHEN I TOOK IT IN), WELL, THEY ALL DO THAT. WE HAD ANOTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAIN, AND WE CHECKED AN 06 MODEL, AND THEY WORK THE SAME WAY". ALL THAT MEANS IS THAT 04 AND 06 ARE DEFECTIVE, AND PROBABLY THE 05 AS WELL. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN TO SERVICE THIS ISSUE THREE TIMES, ALWAYS WITH THE SAME RESULT: DENIAL THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS, AND THEN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT "THEY ALL DO THAT" (AND IMPLYING THAT THEY CAN'T FIX IT SINCE "THEY ALL DO THAT"). YESTERDAY A SERVICE WRITER ADMITTED NISSAN WAS AWARE, WORKING ON A FIX, BUT DIDN'T HAVE ONE YET. 800-NISSAN1 DENIES THAT ANY DEFECT INVESTIGATION (OR SOLUTION) IS UNDER WAY ON THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS NOT BEING HONEST. THE FOLLOWING SEEMS CLEAR FROM MY EXPERIENCE AND THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE: 1) THE DEFECT EXISTS, 2) NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT'S EXISTENCE, AND 3) NISSAN HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE (THEY ARE STILL PRODUCING VEHICLES WITH THE SAME DEFECT. I INVITE THE NHTSA INVESTIGATOR TO CONTACT ME, VIEW MY VEHICLE TO CONFIRM THE EXISTANCE OF THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. FOR THAT MATTER, VIEW ANY NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB (IN NISSAN'S OWN WORDS: "THEY ALL DO THAT", EVEN THE 06'S). TWO QUESTIONS REMAIN: 1) WHY, ACCORDING TO 800-NISSAN1 (NISSAN WARRANTY CENTER), IS THERE NO INVESTIGATION UNDER WAY OF THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY DEFECT, AND 2) MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHY THE NHTSA SITE DOES NOT LIST THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY DEFECT UNDER THE LIST OF INVESTIGATIONS PRESENTLY UNDERWAY?

STRUCTURE
ON 22 JUNE 2006, I NOTICED WATER COMING BETWEEN THE HEADLINER AND REAR WINDOW JUST RIGHT OF THE CENTER ELECTRIC WINDOW. WATER HAD BEEN DRIPPING ONTO THE WINDOW LEDGE BELOW THE LEAK FOR SOMETIME DUE TO THE CONCENTRATION OF WATER SPOTS. THE LOCAL DEALER IDENTIFIED THE LOCATION OF THE LEAK (WITH PICTURES) AND HAD THE WINDOW PULLED AND RESEALED BY A LOCAL SPEEDY AUTO GLASS. UPON RECEIPT OF THE VEHICLE, I WAS GIVEN INSTRUCTION NOT TO CLOSE THE DOORS TO HARD AND TO WAIT AT LEST 48 HOURS BEFORE WASHING. APPROXIMATELY 72 HOUR AFTER RECEIPT OF THE VEHICLE I WASHED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED WATER LEAKING FROM THE SAME SPOT. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO RETURN TO FULL IMMEDIATELY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES THE GAUGE WOULD FINALLY READ FULL. WHEN THE VEHICLE SAT FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS THE SAME CONDITION OCCURRED. AFTER NEXT REFUEL THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE RESOLVED UNTIL THE VEHICLE SAT FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A SERVICE BULLETIN DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY AFTER SEVERAL DAYS. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL WEEKS AND SEVERAL REFUELS AND THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TRUCK VIN [XXX] BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR THE DEALERSHIP HAS PUT 2 MASTER CYLINDERS ON IT BUT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM THEY TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD SON WHO IS LEARNING TO DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES BUT IT DID IT TO HIM AND SCARED HIM BECAUSE HE THOUGHT HE HAD NO BRAKES. THE BRAKES ARE REAL SPONGY AND GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IF PRESSED FIRMLY. IN A HARD BRAKING SITUATION SUCH AS ON A STEEP HILL AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKES GOES TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING 2 YEARS. *JB UPDATED 07/6/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
