BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKED AT 38,XXX IN 9/2009 AND WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. NO ISSUES FOR TWO YEARS. IN 8/2011 DRIVER SIDE IS LEAKING AGAIN. TRIED TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS TO NISSAN AND WAS REJECTED BECAUSE OF "WARRANTY" ISSUES. SEEMS TO BE AN INHERENT PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY A LOT OF 04-07' TITAN/ARMADA OWNERS. TSB ISSUED BY NISSAN TO REPLACE ENTIRE AXLE ASSEMBLY 5 MONTHS AFTER MY FIRST LEAK, BUT THEY DON'T FEEL IT'S THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE PRIOR TO THE BULLETIN. WAS TOLD BY A NISSAN REP. THAT THE TSB IS A GUIDELINE FOR TECH'S. TO PROPERLY FIX AN ISSUE IF IT ARISES. I HAD THE ISSUE BUT IT WAS 5 MONTHS BEFORE THEY FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO A "PROPER" FIX, AND ACCORDING TO THEM IT DOESN'T APPLY TO ME UNLESS THE PART OR LABOR OR DRIVETRAIN WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WAS TOLD THAT IF THIS WAS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THEY MIGHT OFFER GOOD FAITH CREDIT. CURIOUS AS TO HOW MANY IT WILL TAKE FOR THEM TO NOT TURN THE BLIND EYE TO AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH WHAT I FEEL IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVE AXLE OF A VEHICLE, I BELIEVE THAT SHOULD QUALIFY AS A SAFETY ISSUE OR RECALL. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE STALLING WITH AROUND 97,900 MILES ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN. AT THIS TIME, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PROBLEM CODE READ AND THEY SAID I HAD FAULTY BANK 1 AND BANK 2 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. THE DEALER SAID THE STALLING WAS DUE TO A RECALL, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V517000. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS UNTIL THIS RECALL ISSUE. SINCE MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD ARE ONE PIECE, IT COST $2,827.28 TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AND I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THIS, SINCE THIS PROBLEM STEMMED FROM THEIR RECALL ISSUE.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL NHTSA 10V074000 FOR A DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES; THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE MAY INACCURATELY DISPLAY THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. MY TRUCK HAS PRECISELY THAT PROBLEM, I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE GAUGE SHOWS 1/4 FULL. I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR THIS RECALL AND WHEN I ARRVIED I WAS TOLD I DID NOT QUALIFY. I CALLED NISSAN TODAY AND AGAIN WAS TOLD I DO NOT QUALIFY THOUGH THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT VIN'S OR MANUFACTURING DATES QUALIFY. I BELIEVE THAT SINCE MY TRUCK EXHIBITS THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, MY VEHICLE SHOULD QUALIFY FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL SENDER UNIT. *TR
