I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN. I MADE A TURN ONTO AN ON RAMP GOING ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOUR WHEN IT FELT LIKE I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I LOOKED AND NO ONE WAS THERE. MY TRUCK STARTED MAKING A REALLY BAD POPPING NOISE SO I HAD IT TOWED TO MEINEKE WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS OUT. SO I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY GAVE ME THE SAME DIAGNOSIS AND DENIED MY CLAIM FOR THEM TO FIX IT. PRICE TAG FOR THE REPAIR IS 3300 NOT INCLUDING TAXES. *TR

NISSAN TITAN FRONT & REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE - I PURCHASED THE NISSAN TITAN - OFF ROAD/BIG TOW PACKAGE IN JULY 2005 AND PRIMARILY USED THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. EXPERIENCED A SLIGHT CLICKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END AND BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WAS DAMAGED AND THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE WAS NOT ATTACHED TO THE DIFFERENTIAL. WHILE AT THE DEALER I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE REAR END. FIRST THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THEN 24 LATER AFTER CONSIDERATE PROMPTING THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR END NEED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN USA PAID FOR THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL (PARTS ONLY) AND HAS REJECTED MY REQUEST TO REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND OTHER SITES NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

MY GRANDSON OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICK UP, HE MADE A TURN INTO OUR STREET AND BED OF THE TRUCK, LITERALLY BECAME TWISTED AND NOT ALIGN WITH THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. HE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. WHEN HE TOOK THE TRUCK DOWN TO THE DEALERS THEY ADVISE HIM THAT BOLTS AND COME LOOSE AND THE WOULD CHARGE 300.00 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR. WE HAVE OWN A LOT OF TRUCKS IN MY LIFE TIME AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO ANY OF THE TRUCK WE OWN. WHAT TYPE OF COMPANY SEES NO DANGER IN THIS. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. AND ALL THEY COULD THINK ABOUT WAS THE CHARGE. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD WANT TO FIND OUT WHY THIS HAPPEN. SINCERELY A VER CONCERN GRANDMOTHER AND SOON TO BE GREATMOTHER. *TR

THE SPIDER GEARS WENT OUT ON MY NISSAN TITAN 4X4 AND I DISCOVERED IT IS A WELL KNOWN FAILURE IN THE EARLY 04, 05 AND EARLY 06 TITAN 4X4'S. NISSAN WON'T SELL SPIDER GEARS. YOU HAVE TO BUY THE ENTIRE REAR END/AXLE ASSEMBLY FOR ABOUT $3,000. THEY SHOULD BE REPAIRING ALL THE EARLY TITANS ON RECALL. *CN

I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I PULLED AWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH I THOUGHT I WAS REARENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND THE REAREND WAS POPPING AND GRINDING. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT AND DID NOT SEE ANY FLUID OR SIGNS OF DAMAGE TO THE DRIVELINE. I TRIED TO BACK UP AND PULL FORWARD AND THE REAR WHEELS WERE LOCKED UP. THE VEHICLE STOPPED SO VIOLENTLY WHEN IT HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN GOING ANY FASTER I AM SURE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS. DEALER SAID REPAIR WILL BE TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE REAREND AT A COST OF $3500.00 FOR A USED UNIT. *CN

COMPLETE REAR END FAILURE OF MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN WHILE DRIVING 45MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. FAILURE HAPPENED AT 62500 MILES AND IS THE FIRST TIME TO MY KNOWLEDGE (PRE-OWNED). REAREND IS BEING REPLACED BY NISSAN SERVICE CENTER AT A COST OF $3500 THAT HAS TO BE PAID PERSONALLY AS THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY 2500 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY AND IT APPEARS DOUBTFUL THAT NISSAN WILL ASSIST OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE SEVERE DESIGN FLAW.*CW

2005 NISSAN TITAN, DRIVING ON GRAVEL ROAD IN 4WD AND I HAD GOTTEN STUCK IN 1 INCH OF SNOW. I REALIZED THAT MY 4WD WAS NOT WORKING ANY LONGER. I EXITED MY TRUCK AND GOT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL JUST IN TIME TO STOP ON COMING TRAFFIC THAT COULD OF STRUCK MY TRUCK AND CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY TO ME AND MY PASSENGER. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT, AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE A NEW OR USED FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FOR THE TRUCK. THE WHOLE DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS REPLACED AND HERE I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE PART BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY. I HAVE NOTICED ON SEVERAL THREADS AND FORUMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE US. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED, BY THE MANUFACTURER IN MY OPINION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T HAD AN "INCIDENT" YET, I WORRY ABOUT IT EVERYDAY. MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN HAS THE WORST BRAKES THAT I'VE EVER HAD IN A VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR ON EVERY STOP. SOMETIMES WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED IT "SKIPS" AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES RELEASE THEN GRAB AGAIN. THIS TRUCK WAS MEANT TO TOW UP TO 9,000LBS, BUT WHEN I TOWED ABOUT 4,000 AND TRIED TO STOP, I ALMOST RAN INTO SOMEONE. THE BRAKES ARE HORRIBLE WITHOUT TOWING AND BEYOND ACCEPTABLE TOWING ANY WEIGHT. SINCE THAT HAPPENED, I HAVE YET TO TOW ANYTHING ELSE, I'M AFRAID THE TRUCK WON'T STOP. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE BRAKES AREN'T "WHAT THEY SHOULD BE" BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO BECAUSE NISSAN HASN'T ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM. I'M HOPING THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD BE LOCKED INTO. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE NISSAN ARMADA HAS THE SAME BRAKES AND THE SAME PROBLEMS. THANK YOU AS FAR AS THE INCIDENT DATE, I'M JUST USING THE FIRST DATE THAT I CAN REMEMBER REALIZING THE PROBLEM. *TR

HAVE A NISSAN 4X4 TITAN. BOUGHT IT NEW. FOR THE SECOND TIME THE REAR END LOCKED UP BREAKING THE DRIVE SHAFT. GOOD THING THIS HAPPENED AT MINIMAL SPEED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NISSAN REPAIRED THE FIRST TIME DUE TO OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY SHOULD BE LIABLE BECAUSE THEY MUST KNOW THE REPAIR THEY DO WILL FAIL AGAIN. THESE VEHICLES WITH ALL THEIR PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD IN MY OPINION. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4WD WITH 57660 MILES. WHILE TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, I EXPERIENCED A REAR END FAILURE. THE ROADS WERE WET FROM RAIN. WHEN I STARTED OFF IN A RIGHT TURN FROM THE STOPLIGHT, THE REAR END STARTED TO CLUNK AND THE TRUCK WAS JERKY. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM CORRECTED ITSELF, BUT UPON RE-ACCELERATING THE SAME THING OCCURRED. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR ONCE AGAIN AND LET THE VEHICLE COAST DOWN THE HILL, STILL CLUNKING AND JERKING. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS IN A STRAIGHT POSITION, THE REAR END JERKED REALLY HARD, AND THEN I CONTINUED ABOUT A 1/2 MILE TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRUCK WAS MOVED FROM THE SERVICE BAY TO A PARKING SPACE AND THE ATTENDANT NOTICED THAT THE REAR END WAS JERKING AND CLUNKING IN A TURNING POSITION. HE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED THE SERVICE ADVISER. UPON INSPECTION BY THE DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SPIDER GEARS WERE DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE ENTIRE REAR END HOUSING SHOULD BE REPLACED RATHER THAN TRYING TO REPLACE THE INTERNAL MECHANISMS. THE REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY WITH 2340 MILES LEFT ON THE WARRANTY. THE FACTORY WARRANTIES THE NEW REAR END HOUSING FOR A PERIOD OF 12 MONTHS OR 12000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED, AND HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF-ROAD. THERE WAS NO PRIOR INDICATION THAT A PROBLEM EXISTED UNTIL THE VERY MOMENT IT STARED TO FAIL ON THIS DAY. UPON RETURNING TO THE DEALER TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE ADVISER DID AGREE THAT THIS WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK AND THAT THIS PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP HAD REPLACED MULTIPLE REAR ENDS IN THIS MODEL TRUCK IN RECENT MONTHS. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS SAME FAILURE COULD OCCUR AGAIN. THIS COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURRING SHOULD THE FAILURE OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2005 NISSAN TITAN. DOOR LATCH FAILURE DURING COLD WEATHER BELOW FREEZING. LIVE IN SMALLWOOD NY, SO TIME PERIOD OF THIS WEATHER IS OCTOBER - APRIL. LOCKED OUT OF TRUCK WHILE CHILDREN IN CAR AND UNABLE TO GET TO THEM BECAUSE ALL DOORS WERE FROZEN. KEEP IN MIND I HAVE NOT WASHED THE TRUCK IN SEVERAL MONTHS. THERE IS A NISSAN TSB THAT THEY WILL REPLACE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM IF VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN USA: TBNS BX56AA / TSB 05118. HOWEVER IF VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY QUOTED ME AT $400+ PER DOOR X'S 4 DOORS. THIS IS UNREASONABLE AND A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MOST OF THE COUNTRY THAT EXPERIENCES WEATHER BELOW 32DEGREES F. IT IS A KNOWN FAILURE THAT NISSAN USA KNOWS ABOUT. THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATED RECALL. BELOW ARE LINKS TO A NISSAN TITAN ONLINE FORUM WITH MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. FROZEN DOOR LATCH PROBLEM NOT SOLVED...PLEASE ADVISE WINTER PROBLEMS WITH TITAN FROM USA FROZEN DOOR HANDLES FROZEN DOORS WONT CLOSE WHEN COLD!! NISSAN NEW TSB FOR THE FROZEN DOOR HANDLES! *TR
