AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
THE SIDE AIR BAGS OF MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN DEPLOYED AS I WAS DRIVING. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30MPH ON A ASPHALT SURFACED ROAD WHEN THE AIR BAGS JUST DEPLOYED. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY GOING 30MPH SO I DID NOT CRASH. NISSAN HAS BEEN CONTACTED BUT IT SEEMS THAT THEY'RE GOING OUT OF THEIR WAY TO TRY AN PROVE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS IN A WRECK. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED AND HAS A CLEAN CARFAX AS WELL AS AN AUTOCHECK. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH A DANA REAR AXLE. I WAS NOTIFIED BY A NISSAN DEALER THAT THE AXLE SEAL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE AXLE FLUID WAS DRAINING DOWN THE REAR BRAKE WHICH COULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE BRAKING PERFORMANCE AND RESULT IN AN UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION. *TR

REAR WHEEL SEALS CONTINUE TO LEAK EVEN AFTER BEING REPLACED,DIFFERENTIAL AND AXLE HAVE TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE PUMPKIN AREA,CAUSING THE SEALS TO BREAK. THE DEALER HAD MY TRUCK FOR (14) DAYS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AFTER DISASSEMBLING THE DIFFERENTIAL DUE TO A CONFLICT BETWEEN THEM AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ON WHO WAS GOING TO PAY FOR THE ($3,000.00) REAR. THIS HAS LEFT ME IN LIMBO SO I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER TO DISCUSS THE MODIFIED REAR THAT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM ON THESE 2004 TITANS AND HAVE A MODIFIED REPLACEMENT REAR,THEN WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL?SHOULDN'T THE MANUFACTURER BE RESPONSIBLE AND HAVE DECENCY TO CORRECT THEIR PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER? *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TOTAL REPLACEMENT. DEALER INSPECTION NOTED THAT IF VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN ANY FURTHER A TOTAL LOCK UP OR INABILITY TO BE DRIVEN WOULD OCCUR. APPEARS TO BE A LONG LIST OF REAR AXEL/DIFFERENTIAL FAILURES WITH THIS VEHICLE. DEALER NOTED IT ALSO APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED NOT JUST ON HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLES. VEHICLE REQUIRES TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF REAR AXEL. THE VEHICLE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF FAILURE. THE GEARS IN THE DIFFERENTIAL BREAK APART. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND NISSAN HAS HAD ME AND MANY OTHERS IN ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS TO REPAIR THE FRONT BRAKES. THE FRONT WHEEL WOULD SHAKE WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES. JUST BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT THEY SAID THEY HAD A FIX. THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE ROTORS BECAUSE THE WERE TO SMALL FOR THE TRUCK. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE REPAIR, THE THIRD REPAIR, THE HAD COME UP WITH ANOTHER FIX THEY SAID AND IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I DID NOTICE THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT FUNNY. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT, BUT IT ALMOST FELT LIKE IT WAS APPLYING MORE PRESSURE TO THE REAR BRAKES TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE ON THE FRONT END. ANYWAY, SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE A COMPANY VEHICLE AND I HAVE ONLY PUT 16K MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE FRONT END IS SHAKING AGAIN WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. THE MORE THE SPEED AND THE HARDER YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE MORE IT SHAKES. ALSO, I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE BRAKES WERE SHAKING THE FRONT END TO SHAKE, SOMETHING IN THE FRONT END POPS, LIKE WHEN YOU TOP A HILL. IT HAS GONE AWAY EVERY TIME THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE BRAKES, BUT WHEN THE SHAKING STARTS BACK SO DOES THE POPPING. I'M NOT TO CONCERNED ABOUT THE POPPING, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SHAKING. THE LAST THING, TWO OF THE THREE TIMES THEY ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE BRAKES, THEY HAVE ALSO TURNED THE ROTORS. ROTORS CAN ONLY BE TURN A COUPLE OF TIMES AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I FEEL THEY CHEAPED OUT ON THE REPAIR BY PATCHING THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. I WISH YOU GUYS WOULD LOOK INTO IT. WHETHER IT'S ME OR SOMEONE ELSE, SOMEBODY IS GOING TO BE DRIVING THIS TRUCK 10 YEARS FROM NOW. I DO KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING 65 OR 70 MILES PER HOUR AND YOU HIT THE BRAKES, IT WILL GET YOUR ATTENTION. I DON'T KNOW HOW SAFE IT WILL BE IF NISSAN IS NOT MADE TO REALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN KC SE 4X4 HAS HAD REAREND PROBLEMS 3 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY TRUCK. I HAVE HAD AXLE SEALS REPLACED, DIFFERENTIAL ISSUES, AND NOW FOR THE 3RD TIME, THE DEALERSHIP HAS MY TRUCK OVER 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND! THE SPIDER GEARS LITERALLY FELL APART INSIDE MY DIFFERENTIAL. MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I HAVE ONLY 85,000 MILES ON IT! THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BREAK! I DO NOT TOW, I RARELY USE 4-WHEEL DRIVE! I HEARD A THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM MY REAREND, SO WHILE GETTING ANOTHER RECALL ISSUE RESOLVED HAD THE DEALERSHIP TAKE A LOOK....$3,500 WORTH OF WORK! HUDSON NISSAN HAS BEEN GREAT THROUGH MY OWNERSHIP! THEY DO ALL OF MY TITAN'S MAINTENANCE, AND THEY ARE THE BEST! HOWEVER, NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE....MY TRUCK IS NEARLY PAID OFF AND TO FIX THIS IS MORE THAN HALF WHAT I OWE LEFT ON THE TRUCK! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, PARKING BRAKE
PROBLEM STARTED GRADUALLY AS OCCASIONAL NOISES, SUCH AS "CLUNKING" AND RATTLING, FROM THE WHEELS WHILE DRIVING. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. ONE DAY LATER WHILE DRIVING, HEARD AWFUL GRATING NOISE FROM WHEELS AND ABS/VDC LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PAD BROKE LOOSE AND DESTROYED THE ROTOR, THE ABS SENSOR, ETC. ($1,200 IN DAMAGE). DURING THE TWO WEEKS AFTER SERVICE, THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE BRAKES REACT AS IF IN ABS MODE AND GRIP AND GRIND WHILE STOPPING. TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE USUALLY MAKES THE LIGHT GO OFF AND THE BRAKES THEN OPERATE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BACK AT THE DEALER, WHO STATED THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 2 WHEEL DRIVE WITH 74,600 MILES. I FOUND THAT I HAD A LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING. TOOK IT TO DEALER TO GET IT FIX AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RIGHT SIDE SHOULD BE REPLACED ALSO BUT AT $600.00 A CRACK TO REPLACE ONE SIDE I COULD ONLY AFFORD TO DO THE BAD ONE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET ABOUT OTHER OWNERS OF TITANS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR REAR AXLE SEALS PREMATURELY FAILING WITH LOW MILEAGE I THINK NIACIN NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. IT A SHAM THAT THEY CHARGE YOU $500 TO $600 TO HAVE THESE REPLACED WHEN YOU CAN BUY THE BEARINGS OFF THE INTERNET FOR $75.00.... *TR
