I PARKED MY TRUCK SUNDAY MORNING (9-27-09) AT ABOUT 3:30AM, NO PROBLEMS. THAT AFTERNOON SHE TOOK OUR SON TO THE STORE AND HEARD A CLANKING IN THE BACK END. SHE SAID IT WAS HEARD BEST ABOUT 20 MPH AFTER LETTING OFF THE GAS. LATER FOUND A PUDDLE OF GEAR FLUID THAT WAS DRIPPING FROM THE FRONT OF THE REAR GEAR HOUSING. I HAVE 66,244 MILES, JUST 6,000 OUT OF WARRANTY. MY MECHANIC SAID A BOLT HAD LOOSENED UP CAUSING THE PINION TO SLIP TO THE REAR. VERY CLOSE TO HAVING A COMPLETE LOCK UP. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN SE. TWO YEARS AGO MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT. I PAID $4000 TO GET IT FIXED AT NISSAN OF PANAMA CITY CAUSE THEY SAID IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT OFTEN. I WAS JUST ON TITAN TALK AND ALLOT OF GUYS ARE SAYING THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IF IT WAS A PROBLEM COULD I GET COMPENSATED FROM NISSAN. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN - 50,000K MILES. NOTICED A REAR SEAL LEAKING ONTO BY TIRES AND ON MY BRAKES FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UNIT HAS NOT FAILED AS OF DATE BUT SERVICE DEPT SAYS ANY DAY IT WILL. GRENADA NISSAN OFFERED TO REPLACE BECAUSE OF KNOWN ISSUES, BUT NISSAN HEADQUARTERS HAS NOT HONORED WARRANTY TO DATE, B/C IT IS 6 MONTHS TOO LATE. WILL NOT HONOR WARRANTY. CONCERNED IF IT FAILS AT INTERSECTION OR GOING DOWN ROAD AN ACCIDENT WITH BODILY INJURY CAN OCCUR. THE FLUID ON BRAKES MAY ALSO CAUSE SLIPPAGE WHILE BRAKING. VERY DANGEROUS. NISSAN QUOTED REPAIR NEAR 3500$. HAS BEEN KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN AND NHTSA. OVER 70 COMPLAINTS FILED, LUCKILY NO INJURY TODATE. THIS FAILURE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN NA, AND HAVE YET TO FIX FLAW ON THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE BEWARE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO NOT ONLY THE VEHICLE'S DRIVER AND PASSENGER, BUT TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN HAS BEEN HAVING PERIODIC COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 7-8 TIMES. STARTED ABOUT 25,000 MI, CURRENTLY AT 34,000 MI. TOOK TO DEALER ON 8-1-09, DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER, SAID IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABS AND VDC CONTROLS AND THAT THIS WOULD FIX IT, YESTERDAY ON 8-22-09 IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER NORMAL DRIVING AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY, VERY SCARY. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS, IF YOU SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART, THE BRAKES ARE BACK AND SEEM TO BE WORKING FINE, THEY CAN GO FOR A WHILE WITH NO PROBLEM, THEN ONE DAY THEY WILL JUST NOT BE THERE, PUMPING THE BRAKE GIVES LITTLE BRAKE EFFECT AND A NOISE EMITS FROM UNDER THE HOOD, A STRANGE SOUND I HAVE NEVER HEARD COME FROM A VEHICLE BEFORE, BRAKES WILL GO TO FLOOR AND WILL NOT STOP IF HELD, HAVE TO PUMP LIKE CRAZY AND RESORT TO EMERGENCY STOPPING METHODS SUCH AS E-BRAKE, DOWNSHIFT AND RUBBING TIRES AGAINST CURB OR DRIVING INTO SOFT SAND TO STOP VEHICLE. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH TITANS AND ARMADAS (SAME EXACT VEHICLE MECHANICALLY). THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, I AM USED TO OLD CARS THAT HAVE PROBLEMS, THIS REALLY CATCHES YOU OFF GUARD. I WISH TO FILE A COMPLAINT AS THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR ROAD. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN CREWCAB SLE -2 WHEEL DRIVE. FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, COMING TO A STOP SIGN I PUT ON THE BRAKES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY BRAKES. HEARD LOUD NOISES LIKE THE ABS WAS KICKING IN AND OUT AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARDER TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL I GOT THE TRUCK HOME. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET WITH NISSAN TITAN WEB FORUMS I FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE WITH TITAN'S HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS. FROM WHAT I GATHER IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AT FAULT. ALSO I FOUND OUT THAT ONCE YOU TURN OFF THE IGNITION THE SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE BACK TO NORMAL. I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING AND RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. NISSAN WANTS $850 OR MORE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER (TRUCK OUT OF WARRANTY). NISSAN NEEDS TO COME CLEAN AND REALIZE THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TITAN'S BRAKE BOOSTER. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN; REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING: 1. IN SHOP FOR TIRE ROTATION, MECHANIC SAW FLUID FROM REAR AXLE ON INSIDE OF MY WHEELS. 2. NOT SURE HOW LONGS ITS BEEN LEAKING. APPEARS TO BE AN ON GOING PROBLEM FOR OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS (MULTIPLE SEAL REPLACEMENTS). CONSEQUENCES ARE FLUID CAN LEAK ONTO BRAKES CAUSING A BRAKING FAILURE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH AND POSSIBLE DEATH. 3. NOTHING DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. CONTACTING MECHANIC TODAY. *NISSAN NEEDS A RECALL ON THIS* *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE. FIRST NOTICE OIL LEAKING FROM BOTH AXLE SEALS WHEN CHANGING SHOCKS AT 41,000 MILES. BROUGHT TO DEALER WAS TOLD AXLE SEALS HAD FAILED AND WERE GOING TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, AT 44,400 MILES WENT TO GET INSPECTION STICKER AND THE PARKING BRAKE FAILED, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATING THIS WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SEALS HAD FAILED AGAIN AND SLUNG OIL ALL OVER THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM I WOULD THINK THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS TIME THEY FIXED THE SEALS BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE FAILING DUE TO THE FACT OF A PROBLEM WITH THE AXLE, NOW I AM OVER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY AND THERE TELLING ME IT MY NOT BE COVERED STILL WAITING TO HEAR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED TO BE FIXED AT NISSANS EXPENSE. ONE TIME THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND SOMEONE'S BRAKE ARE GOING TO FAIL FROM THE OIL AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH! SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE BEFORE ITS TO LATE. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN BRAKE FAILURE. POWER BOOSTER SENSOR IS GOING OUT AND CAUSES MUSHY AND VIOLANT BRAKE PEDAL -- UNABLE TO STOP SAFELY. SOMETIMES IT WORKS, SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. DEALER FLASHED THE BRAKE COMPUTER...IT DID NOT WORK. SAID THAT THE POWER BOASTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $900 PLUS...I THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. XTREME SAFETY ISSUE. THERE SEEMS TO BE A TSB OUT ON IT..BUT NO RECALL. NEED A RECALL...PEOPLE COULD BE KILLED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BRAKES GO INTO IN ABS MODE FOR NO REASON, TRUCK BECOMES HARD TO STOP; ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY- 80 DEGREES AND SUNNY. I WAS COMING HOME FROM THE NISSAN DEALER BECAUSE OF A BRAKE, SLIP, VDC LIGHT (ANYTIME) AND BRAKE LIGHT - ABS COMING ON (ONLY DURING BRAKING), BOTH ARE INTERMITTENT. THE FRIDAY BEFORE I HAD NISSAN LOOK AT THIS VERY CONDITION(S) THEY AGREED I HAD A PROBLEM, AND UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE. 2 DAYS LATER THE LIGHT STILL CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE TRUCK AND RESTARTING, THE LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON, SOMETHING THAT DID NOT USE TO HAPPEN. . . NISSAN HAS A BRAKE ISSUE, I'VE SEEN MANY OF COMPLAINTS THAT ARE THE SAME AS MINE- LOSS OF BRAKING BECAUSE THE ABS KICKS ON (BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS) AND WILL NOT CORRECT/STOP IT-SELF UNTIL THE ENGINE IS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. RESTARTING THE TRUCK WHEN THE ABS IS HAMPERING THE STOPPING ABILITY IS NOT VERY PRACTICAL, AND VERY DANGEROUS IN MOST DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME I CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT AND SWERVED TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. SINCE THE 2ND VISIT TO NISSAN I HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER WITH STABILITY CONTROL OPTION REPLACED, THAT WAS THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDATION AFTER THEY DOWNLOADED THE CODES(X2), THEY STATED THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED. COST FOR REPAIR WAS QUOTED AT $650.00. *TR

REAR SHACKLE IN 2004-2008 NISSAN TITAN IS WEAK DESIGN, PRONE TO FAILURE. I HAVE PROOF OF SEVERAL DOCUMENTED CASES IN WHICH THE REAR SHACKLE UNFOLDS AND THE LEAF SPRING SLAMS THROUGH THE BED OF THE TRUCK, WHICH CAN RESULT IN SUDDEN LOSS OF CONTROL. IT HAS HAPPENED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, AS WELL AS WHEN TOWING, OFF-ROADING, ETC. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BEFORE IT HAPPENS, ALL THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS TO REPLACE THE SHACKLES BEFORE THEY FAIL AND BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN. IF THE SHACKLE FAILS, IT MUST BE REPLACED, AND THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED FOR SAFETY, AND THE BED MUST BE REPLACED. *TR
