REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS REPLACED DUE TO AN ETERNAL FAILURE AT 9,700 MILES. AT AROUND 12,000 MILES THE REAR END STARTED TO CLUNK WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE AND IN AND OUT OF DRIVE. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CLAIMED IT WAS NORMAL AND WAS JUST GEAR LINKAGE BEING LOOSENED UP. NORMAL THOUGH THEY CONFIRMED. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS IN 5 O'CLOCK HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS TURNING INTO A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND HAD TO APPLY HEAVY ACCELERATION. I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND THEN MY TRUCK SAT THERE AND REVVED UP WITH NO MOVEMENT. I HAD CARS APPROACHING FAST WHICH HAD TO SWERVE AROUND ME SINCE I WAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. A PASSERBY STOPPED AND PULLED OVER TO HELP ME PUSH MY TRUCK OUT OF THE BUSY ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CALLED AND THEY PAID FOR THE TRUCK TO ME TOWED BACK. THIS WAS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE SO THEY AGREED TO BUY THE TRUCK BACK. THE FIRST FIX TOOK OVER 1 MONTH TO COMPLETE. THE SERVICE MANAGER AGREED THAT THERE IS A TREND WITH THESE TRUCKS AND INTERNAL FAILURE WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. *JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB WHICH HAS FAULTY DOOR LATCH MECHANISMS. WHEN TEMPERATURES BECOME NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING SOME OR ALL OF THE DOOR LATCHES FAIL TO OPERATE PROPERLY. WHEN IT OCCURS IT CAUSES THE DOORS TO STAY LATCHED, IF IT OCCURS ON ALL THE DOORS AT ONCE YOU CANNOT GAIN ENTRY TO THE VEHICLE. THEY ALSO MALFUNCTION IN THE OPPOSITE, OPENING BUT NOT LATCHING LEAVING THE DOOR ABLE TO SWING FREE. I BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO MY SERVICE MANAGER AND THEY SAID THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAD HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. THEY APPLIED A GROSS AMOUNT OF SILICONE SPRAY TO THE LOCKING MECHANISM HOPING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DOOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED TWICE SINCE THEN WITH THE COLD TEMPERATURES. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND I FEEL THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY. *NM

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
I AM IN THE MILITARY STATIONED IN VIRGINIA... I HAD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END OF MY TRUCK PRIOR TO THANKSGIVING. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE U JOINTS ARE GOING BAD. DIDN'T SOUND LIKE A U JOINT, SO I ASKED NISSAN WOULD IT BE OK FOR ME TO DRIVE THE TRUCK 440 MILES EACH WAY TO GO HOME TO WV TO SEE MY FAMILY FOR THANKSGIVING AND THEY SAID YES, IT WILL BE FINE. SO I GO HOME AND SAW MY FAMILY, AND THEN THE SATURDAY MORNING AFTER THANKSGIVING I GOT UP EARLY AND WENT AND STOPPED AND GOT GAS. GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT UP AND WHEN TO PUT IT IN GEAR, AND THE WHOLE REAR END JUST GRINDED. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE JUST TO DRIVE TO MY SISTER HOUSE AND CALLED NISSAN. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK FOR 14 DAYS, AND ORDERING A NEW REAR END FOR A 2 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK, THEY DECIDED THAT THEY COULD NOT GET A NEW REAR END DUE TO NATION BACKORDER, SO THEY PULL ONE OFF OF A 06 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 AND THEN I GOT TO RETURN BACK TO VA TO ASSUME MY MILITARY DUTIES, AFTER BEING STUCK IN WV FOR 2 WEEKS. THEY DID GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR, BUT PUT A RESTRICTION ON THE CAR WHEN I COULD ONLY DRIVE 150 MILES A DAY. SO I COULDN'T GO BACK TO WORK IN VA. I DID MISS OUT ON WORK, AND TIME, AND HAD TO USE 2 WEEKS OF MY VACATION DAYS, BUT MOST IMPORTANT, THIS COULD HAVE HAPPEN DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, OR IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND COULD HAVE PUT MY LIFE & OTHERS AROUND ME AT DANGER! NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM, OR FIX IT RIGHT. BEFORE PEOPLE DIE! THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND WHENEVER MY GAS TANK IS LOW AND I GO TO FILL UP AFTER A WHILE GAS WILL START TO GUSH OUT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LIKE ALWAYS THEY CAN'T "DUPLICATE". I KNOW OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WHERE GAS SQUIRTS OUT. THIS IS A HEATH AND SAFTEY ISSUE. THE GAS HAS GUSHED BACK OUT AT ME SEVERAL TIMES.. AND IT HAPPENS ABOUT 30 SECONDS AFTER YOU START PUMPING GAS. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE PUTTING GASOLINE INTO MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN IT SPILLS BACK OUT OF THE TANK. THE GAS WILL GO INTO THE TANK THEN THE PUMP WILL STOP AND THEN GAS WILL SPUW BACK OUT. THIS NORMALLY HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I CAN GET THE TANK FULL. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONE TIME, IT HAPPENS ANYTIME MY TANK IS LOW AND I AM READY TO FILL UP WITH GAS. THE TANK HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. *NM

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE IN MY NISSAN TITAN PICKUP. STARTED AS A CLUNK WHEN CHANGING GEARS FROM PARK TO DRIVE AROUND 9,700 MILES ON THE TRUCK. EVENTUALLY LED UP TO A FEELING OF SLACK IN THE DRIVLINE, A FEELING AS IF THE U-JOINTS WERE GOING OUT. BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY ONE DAY AND A LOUND POP FOLLOWED BY GRINDING OCCURED. HAD IT TOWED DOWN TO JOHANSON NISSAN AND THEY REPLACED IT, BUT TOOK OVER 30 DAYS SINCE THERE WAS A NATIONAL BACKORDER FOR THE REAR DIFF. THIS HAPPENDED IN FEBURARY OF 05, AND I WAS #12 ON THE PARTS LIST. REPLACEMENT DIFF ONLY LASTED AROUND 7,000 MILES AND WENT OUT AS WELL. BOTH REAR DIFF FAILURES WERE CAUSED BE BROKEN SPIDER GEARS. DEALERSHIP AGREED TO BUY BACK TRUCK. *NM

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE REAR END HAS COME APART TWICE. THE FIRST REAR END WAS REPLACED BEFORE IT STRANDED ME. THE SECOND WAS REPLACED AFTER IT CAME APART AND THE REAR END LOST ALL MOTION. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS, IT WOULD MOST LIKELY CAUSED A WRECK. *NM

REAR END FAILURE (MANY FAILURES HAVE BEEN REPORTED) I HAVE CHILDREN THAT RIDE WITH ME AND AM CONCERNED IF REAR END WENT AT SPEED. MINE WAS NOT A TOTAL FAILURE, YET. WHINNING NOISE AND DASH LIGHTS MADE ME BRING IT IN. THEY DID SOME TESTING AND ADVISED ME THAT THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW REAR END. TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT TILL THE NEW ONE COMES IN. I THINK THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *NM

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AT LEAST 25 OTHER OWNERS THAT I KNOW OF. NISSAN HAS NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. THE FACTORY HAS INCREASED THE FLUID CAPACITY AND NOW USES SYNTHETIC FLUID. ALSO AN ALUMINUM FINNED COVER FOR BETTER HEAT TRANSFER. THIS IS A 'BAND AID' FOR A DIFFERENTIAL THAT IS NOT ABLE TO HANDLE THE WEIGHTS THIS VEHICLE IS DESIGNED TO TOW. FAILURES CONTINUE EVEN AFTER THE BAND AID HAS BEEN PERFORMED. SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD 4 FAILURES ON THE SAME TRUCK!!!! *JB
