EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:HIGH/LOW BEAM DIMMER SWITCH
I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH 3000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE INADVERTENTLY TURNED THE HEADLIGHTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AT LEAST 10 TIMES IN THIS TIME FRAME. THE REASON FOR THIS IS A COMBINATION OF A LARGE TWIST KNOB AND A WEAK DETENT TO HOLD THE SWITCH IN THE ON POSITION. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED DEFECT IN MY SWITCH, RATHER A DESIGN DEFECT OF ALL TITAN SWITCHES AS I HAVE LOOKED AT OTHER NEW ONES ON THE NISSAN DEALER'S LOT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE ON-OFF TWIST KNOB IS LOCATED AT THE END OF THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH SO WHEN YOU EITHER TURN THE TURN SIGNAL ON OR FLIP THE SWITCH FORWARD OR BACK WITH YOUR FINGERS TO CHANGE THE LIGHTS FROM BRIGHT TO DIM THE SWITCH IS VERY EASY TO TURN OFF BY ACCIDENT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON A DARK ROAD IT IS VERY ALARMING AND I FEEL MAY EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE TWIST KNOB IS SO LARGE IN COMPARISON TO OTHER SWITCHES OF THIS TYPE THAT THERE IS TREMENDOUS LEVERAGE TO ACCIDENTLY TWIST IT IF YOU DONT GRAP IT EXACTLY IN THE CENTER. NISSAN HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND I AM THE ONLY ONE BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT. I OWN AN AUTOMOBILE REPAIR BUSINESS AND HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE AND SINCERLY BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW IN THIS SWITCH WHICH WILL LIKELY LEAD TO SOMEONE LOSING THEIR LIFE AS THIS TRUCK BECOMES MORE POPULAR.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I HAVE 6,200 MILES ON MY TRUCK. THE BRAKES ROTORS ARE DEFECTIVE. I CAN SEE CRACKS IN THE REAR LEFT AND THE RIGHT FRONT ROTOR. NISSAN HAS TURNED MY ROTORS ONCE AND THE TROUBLE IS STILL THERE. PULSE IN THE PEDAL AND PULSE ON STOPPING THE TRUCK. IT IS IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW FOR THE FOURTH TIME FOR THE SAME THING.*AK

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
HEAD RESTS ARE TOO THIN, ALLOWING OCCUPANTS HEAD TO BE SNAPPED BACK TOO FAR BEFORE BEING STOPPED BY THE HEADREST IN THE EVENT THAT THE VEHICLE IS REAR-ENDED. THIS WILL CAUSE UNNECESSARY INJURY UNLESS CORRECTED.*AK

STEERING
MY WIFE AND I WERE TEST DRIVING A NEW NISSAN 2004 TITAN 4 DOOR PICK UP AT NISSAN OF STATESVILLE, NC. WE BOTH DROVE THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED WHAT WE CONSIDERED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF PLAY IN THE STERING WHEEL. THE SALESPERSON, WHO WAS RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT, SAID THAT WAS NORMAL. UPON MAKING THE FINAL TURN FROM US HIGHWAY 70 INTO THE DEALERS LOT A POP WAS HEARD AND ALL LOSS OF STERING OCURRED. THE STEARING WHEEL WAS FREE WHEELING WITH NO DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WHATSOEVER. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU COULD SPIN IT AROUN LIKE A TOP, WITH NO STOPS.THE VEHICLE WAS WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE. SHOULD THIS OCCUR WITH ANY SPEED, DEATH COULD EASILY BE THE RESULT. HOPEFULLY THIS WAS A ONCE ONLY OCCURANCE WITH NISSAN TRUCKS. WE ARE STILL SHAKEN BY THIS EVENT. THE NEXT PAGE ON THIS FORM REQUIRES ME STATE THAT AN EVENT OCURRED AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. WE OF COURSE DID NOT PURCHASE THE VEHICLE. THANK YOU. *AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
I HAVE A CONSISTENTLY REPRODUCIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT BELT SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT. 150 POUND INDIVIDUAL SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FAILS TO ENGAGE THE AIR BAG (IT IS INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG IS OFF) ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF THE TIME THEY RIDE IN THE VEHICLE. BY MOVING IN THE SEAT AND SLIDING FORWARD, THE SENSOR REGISTERS THE INDIVIDUAL AND ENGAGES THE AIR BAG (SHUTTING OFF THE AIR BAG IS OFF LIGHT).
