LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
2005 TITAN KING CAB DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE STICKS OPEN IN FREEZING TEMPERATURE OR A LITTLE BELOW. NO CONTACT WITH WATER FOR OVER A WEEK. THIS KEEPS THE DOOR FROM CLOSING ALL TOGETHER. QUICK FIX. MUST HOLD CLOSED AND LOCK MANUALLY. ONCE LOCKED, HOWEVER, ONE CANNOT EXIT VEHICLE FROM THAT SIDE. POSSIBLE DEATH TRAP. DEALER FOUND NO PROBLEM. ONCE IT GOT IT TO THE DEALER IT WAS 50 DEGREES OUTSIDE. GO FIGURE. NEW DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY ON ORDER. *AK

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE DURING NORMAL DRIVING. VEHICLE HAD 9,000 MILES. UPON TAKING A RIGHT TURN A LOUD CLANK WAS HEARD BY MYSELF AND PASSENGERS FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. ON MY WAY HOME I REALIZED THAT ONE TIRE WAS NOT MAINTAINING TRACTION EVEN THROUGH SLOW TURNS, AND THE CLANKING RECURRED EVERY SO OFTEN. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND HE AGREED THAT REAR DIFFERENTIAL WOULD BE REPLACED. THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF REPLACING THE UNIT IN 8 DAYS, HOWEVER IT WAS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE TO BE WITHOUT THE CAR FOR THAT PERIOD.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
AT APPROXIMATELY 7000 MILES I NOTED THAT ALL OF THE PAINT HAD BURNED OFF THE REAR AXLE, TOOK TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR ADVISE, THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO DEFECT. OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS THE REAR END BEGAN TO MAKE EXCESSIVE NOISE AND I RETURNED TRUCK TO DEALER. THEY ADVISED ME I NEEDED A NEW REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY. AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE NEW REAR AXLE THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A VIBRATION AT 25-30 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP 2 SEPARATE VISITS OVER 3 DAYS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. DEALER SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND I AM TO LIVE WITH IT. SEVERAL OTHER TRUCKS HAD REAR AXLES REPLACED. *AK

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE SHOULDER STRAPS ON THE REAR SEAT BELTS LOCK UP WHILE IN USE. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND THE PASSENGERS CANNOT MOVE AS A RESULT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SEATBELTS, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. OTHER VEHICLES ON THE DEALERSHIP LOT WERE INSPECTED AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER STATES THIS IS HOW THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. UPDATED 03/28/06. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
2004 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB PICKUP. I AM RESIDING IN RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION NEW SUBDIVISION WHICH OCCASIONALLY HAS MUD ON THE STREETS. WHEN THE TITAN GOES THROUGH EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF MUD IT LOSES BRAKES. I WENT THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND STOPPED, GOING DOWN THE OPPOSITE SIDE SHOULDER. LUCKILY, NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. BUT, AFTER ROLLING AGAIN AND PUMPING THE BRAKES, THEY RETURNED. WENT THROUGH THE MUDDY STREET AGAIN TO TEST. SAME RESULT APPEARED, NO BRAKES OR VERY LIMITED BRAKES. IN ADDITION, AN AWFUL NOISE WAS MADE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AFTER GOING THROUGH THE MUD OF A PAVED ROAD. THIS IS A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT/INJURY/DEATH AWAITING TO HAPPEN. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
PROBLEM WITH NISSAN TITAN 2004-TRAVELING ON 01/08/06 IN NISSAN PICKUP TRUCK W/APPROX. 28,000 MILES ON IT, ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, VEHICLE BEGAN SWAYING VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND SPUN VEHICLE 180 DEGREES FACING NORTH ON THE SHOULDER OF THE SOUTHBOUND LANE OF NYS THRUWAY. TOWING JAYCO 23' TRAVEL TRAILER; THE TRAILER JACK-KNIFED AND HIT VEHICLE. NYS POLICE CALLED A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE VEHICLE'S BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEABLE. IN THE FALL NISSAN SENT A LETTER TO TRUCK OWNERS REGARDING A "BRAKE JUDDER" CONDITION EXTENDING THE WARRANTY PERIOD.UPON RECEIPT OF LETTER, REQUESTED THAT OUR LOCAL DEALER ADDRESS THE ISSUE; WERE INFORMED UNTIL WE EXPERIENCED THE "JUDDER" PROBLEM, REPAIRS COULD NOT COMMENCE. SINCE THAT TIME, TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED, OIL CHANGED, AND NYS INSPECTION IN DECEMBER. CONTACTED NISSAN CORP HEADQUARTERS AND WERE INFORMED FACTORY REP WOULD INSPECT VEHICLE ON 02/02/06 - APPROX 25-DAYS AFTER INCIDENT. LOCAL DEALERSHIP CANNOT INSPECT VEHICLE. NO ASSISTANCE BY NISSAN UNTIL INSPECTION BY FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE DETERMINING FAULT, EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKING SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED! AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM ON SEVERAL AUTO FORUM SITES, IT IS EVIDENT THAT NISSAN TITAN'S HAVE A SERIOUS BRAKE PROBLEM! THERE IS NO RECALL . WE FEAR THAT SOMEONE WILL GET MAIMED OR KILLED! *NM

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN TITAN 2004 DOWN THE FREEWAY, THE DIFFERENTIAL FAILS ON ME AND I AM PULLING A 6000 LB TRAILER, I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT WHILE THE DIFFERENTIAL IS COMPLETELY MANGLED. MY DEALERSHIP FIXED THE DIFFERENTIAL BY PUTTING A 2005 AXLE IN. THE SECOND TIME WAS THE SAME SITUATION ONLY I WASN'T PULLING A TRAILER, THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN PUT ANOTHER 2005 AXLE IN. THE TRUCK CAUSED ME TO STOP IN TRAFFIC, LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT HAPPENED, THE TRUCK WAS ABLE TO CATCH SOME TEETH IN THE DIFFERENTIAL TO PULL ME OFF THE ROAD. THE FIRST FAILURE HAPPENED AT 8000 MILES ABOUT MARCH 2005, THE SECOND AT 19000 NOVEMBER 2005, JUST RECENTLY I DECIDED NOT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD A QUICK LUBE CHECK MY DIFFERENTIAL OIL. IT WAS BLACK AND HAD QUARTER SIZED CHUNKS OF METAL ON THE PLUG. THIS MEANS THE DIFFERENTIAL IS ABOUT TO FAIL. WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM ON A WINDING ROAD IN A CANYON, WHICH I HAVE TO GO THROUGH OFTEN. I COULD DIE OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE IF THIS UNSAFE TRUCK FAILS IN A BLIND CORNER OR BEND. AT THE SECOND FAILURE THE DEALERSHIP MADE ME SIGN A WAIVER STATING THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX MY DIFFERENTIAL SHOULD IT FAIL AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE THIRD POSSIBLE OCCURRENCE AND THEY SIMPLY SAID CALL NISSAN. I HAVE NO ONE TO TURN TO, MY TRUCK IS CONSTANTLY BREAKING DOWN. THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP ME. MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN WORKED ON THREE TIMES, BOTH TIMES OF DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE THE TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP FOR A MONTH, I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR ONE YEAR AND CURRENTLY HAVE 29000 MILES. NISSAN HAS A BAD PART IN THEIR TRUCKS, PLEASE INVESTIGATE, THERE ARE MANY OTHERS, ALL I CAN DO IS SUGGEST THEY REPORT THEIR PROBLEMS HERE ALSO, PERHAPS THAT WILL HELP. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
REAR END IN MY NEW (2500 MILES) NISSAN TITAN WAS ON ITS WAY OUT(HUMMING). COMPLAINED TO DEALER THEY SAID THAT THE HUMM AND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE DIFF WERE NORMAL. HAD TO THREATEN TO PARK TRUCK IN THEIR SHOWROOM THROUGH THE WINDOW TO GET THEM TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. WHEN THEY DID THEY KEPT THE TRUCK FOR 5 DAYS TO REPLACE REAR END THAT WAS "NORMAL"ACCORDING TO THEIR TECH. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 NISSAN TITAN LE. THE FACTORY INSTALLED BRAKES ARE UNSAFE AND INADEQUATE FOR THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE TERRIBLY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE FACTORY ROTORS WERE TOO SMALL FOR THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK NOW HAS 7,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TERRIBLE BRAKE JUDDERING IS BACK. IT MAKES THE VEHICLE MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO STOP. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPING THE BRAKE PEDAL SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO STATED THAT DURING ASSEMBLY THE DISCS AND ROTORS FOR A MAXIMA WERE PLACED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER OFFERED TO REPLACE THE DISCS AND ROTORS, BUT THE CONTACT DECLINED.

NUMEROUS PROBLEMS HAVE ARISEN WITH MY LEASED 2004 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB. INCLUDING SERIOUS VIBRATION PROBLEMS THAT OCCURRED UPON BRAKING TO THE POINT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED UNTIL THE DEALER FINALLY AGREED TO AT LEAST 'TURN' THE ROTORS. EVENTUALLY BRAKES WERE REPLACED BY DEALER 6 MONTHS AFTER THE INITIAL PROBLEM. CURRENTLY FACING PROBLEMS INCLUDING A NOISE AT STARTUP THAT EVERYONE CAN HEAR EXCEPT THE DEALER MECHANICS, AN OVERFLOW PROBLEM WITH GAS TANK EVEN THOUGH JUST A FEW LITERS HAVE BEEN PUT IN AN EMPTY TANK. ADDITIONALLY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH DRIVER SIDE DOOR REFUSING TO OPEN FROM BOTH THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. DEALER HAS REALIGNED DOOR NUMEROUS TIMES BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES. DEALER STATES THE DOOR PROBLEM IS DUE TO A POOR DESIGN WITH A HEAVY DOOR ON INADEQUATE HINGES. OCCASIONALLY HAVE HAD TO DRIVE WHILE HOLDING DOOR CLOSED. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONSIDERING WEIGHT OF DOOR. THIS TRUCK IS BARELY ONE YEAR OLD AND PROBLEMS JUST KEEP PILING UP WITH LITTLE DEALER SUPPORT OFFERED.*JB

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
WHILE TOWING A 6,500 LB BOAT WITH MY NISSAN TITAN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BLEW WITH ONLY 6,700 MILES ON THE TRUCK. IT LEFT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF KNOW WHERE AND 3+ HOURS AWAY FROM HOME. NOW I HAVE 12,500 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND I HAVE A FEELING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS GOING TO BLOW AGAIN. I FEEL NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS A ISSUE AND CAN REFER 45 OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR REAR DIFFERENTIAL. *JB

FROM A DEAD STOP I PRESSED THE THROTTLE ABOUT 3/4 THE WAY AND I HEAR A GRINDING NOISE AND I CANNOT MOVE, AS I PULL OVER I AM THINKING HOW AM I GOING TO GET BACK HOME. I THINK ITS A ONE TIME ERROR, I TRY TO MOVE AGAIN, THE GRINDING CONTINUES. I THINK SOME MORE AND PUT THE TRUCK INTO 4 X 4, I CAN MOVE BUT VERY SLOWLY BECAUSE OF THE GEARS MOVING AROUND IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL THIS HAPPENED AT 15,000 MILES AT A STOP SIGN ABOUT 1 MILE AWAY FROM MY HOUSE, I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY OR ANYTHING LIKE A MAIN ROAD OR THEIR MAY HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. *JB
