ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TICKING NOISE DISCOVERED WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK. SOUNDS SEEMS TO COME FROM LOWER ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR FROM FRONT WHEEL-WELLS. SUSPECTED A LEAKING EXHAUST PIPE. TOOK TRUCK TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS (LEFT AND RIGHT) WERE BOTH CRACKED. ESTIMATED COST WAS $2100. ADVISED BY NISSAN TECHNICIAN TO "JUST LEAVE IT ALONE" AS THE ONLY RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM WAS THE TICKING NOISE AND A LITTLE WORSE MILEAGE THAN USUAL. OVER THE LAST YEAR, SEVERAL INSTANCES OF ENGINE FUMES CAUSING PASSENGERS TO ROLL WINDOWS DOWN. SUSPECT THE FUMES ARE COMING FROM THE MANIFOLDS SINCE NO OTHER EXHAUST LEAKS HAVE BEEN FOUND. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
LEAVING WORK AT 5:00 PM. STARTED TRUCK AND GOT TO STOP SIGN EVERYTHING WAS FINE. TURNED LEFT ONTO MAJOR STREET AND WHEN APPROACHING FIRST STOP LIGHT BRAKE PEDDLE WENT ALMOST TO FLOOR. IT FELT REALLY SPONGY AND MADE A GRINDING NOISE. HAD TO RUN UP ON CURB TO AVOID GOING INTO INTERSECTION. CAR DID COME TO A STOP AND I NOTICED BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. I TURNED TRUCK OFF AND STARTED AGAIN. BRAKES WERE BACK. DID A SEARCH FOR THIS DESCRIPTION OF FAILURE AND FOUND SEVERAL THREADS WITH TONS OF TRUCKS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A BAD DELTA SENSOR. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS BUT DOES NOTHING. HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T TAKE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. JUST SEARCH FOR NISSAN TITAN DELTA SENSOR AND YOU WILL SEE ALL THE VEHICLES WITH PROBLEMS. I WAS REFERRED TO THIS SITE BY NISSAN. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THEY WERE TOLD TO BY NHTSA. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
HEARD A CLUNK FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THE ELECTRONIC LOCKER DISINTEGRATED DAMAGING THE REAR END. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2004 TO 2007 TITAN'S WITH THE OFF-ROAD PACKAGE. NEVER USED THE TRUCK FOR TOWING. IT WAS USED FOR DAILY TRANSPORTATION. THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 90,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE REAR END BLEW UP. I HAD A LOCAL SHOP PUT IN NEW AXLES, RING AND PINION AND AN AFTER MARKET LOCKER FOR ABOUT $2500. NISSAN WANTED TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE REAR END WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT $3500. *TR

THE REAR AXLE SEALS IN MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN 5.6L SE STARTED LEAKING. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 89,000. THE SEALS ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND. WHEN REPLACING THE AXEL SEALS YOU ALSO HAVE TO REPLACE THE SPACERS AND THE BEARINGS. NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE FLUID FROM THE LEAK HAS GOT ONTO THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR. IT STARTED LEAKING TERRIBLY IN ONLY A MATTER OF A FEW DAYS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
BRAKES FEEL LIKE THE ABS HAS ENGAGED AND THE FOLLOWING WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH COME ON; BRAKE, VDC OFF, SLIP, AND SERVICE ENGINE. THIS STARTED HAPPENING SOON AFTER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW. DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTICS BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WELL OVER 20 TIMES WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND DRIVING AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. ONCE THIS HAPPENS THE BRAKES FEEL MUSHY AND MAKE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE ONLY FIX IS TO STOP THE TRUCK, PUT IT IN PARK AND STOP AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY. THE OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM IS VERY INTERMITTENT. LAST OCCURRENCE WAS ON JULY 25TH AND BEFORE THAT JULY 18TH. IT MAY GO A MONTH OR SO BEFORE HAPPENING AGAIN. TWO OTHER EMPLOYEES AT MY COMPANY ALSO HAVE 2004 TITANS AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER SUGGEST THAT THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS TO BRING IT TO THEM SO THAT THEIR MECHANIC CAN SEE THE ISSUE FIRST HAND.
