LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
NISSAN TITAN SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCKS/CABLES FAILING IN COLD WEATHER. I WAS PUTTING IT OFF AS JUST A FREAK OCCURRENCE ON MY VEHICLE, UNTIL I WAS GIVING A RIDE TO SOME CHILDREN AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH PROPERLY. I NEEDED TO STRAP THE DOOR CLOSED TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE DOOR. THEN I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING. OBVIOUSLY NISSAN USED SOME SUB PAR QUALITY EQUIPMENT. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT MAYBE THEY GOT SOME BAD PARTS , BUT THEY NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I PAID ALMOST 500 DOLLARS TO GET THIS FIXED WHICH I THOUGHT WAS OUTRAGEOUS BUT FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN IT HAD TO BE DONE. *TR

FRONT DRIVE SHAFT ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN SE KING CAB "BINDED" UP ACCORDING TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THUS CREATING VIBRATION IN THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND THEREBY DESTROYING THE OIL SEAL AND CORRESPONDING BEARINGS IN THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE. ALL TOLD, MY TRUCK SITS IN A REPAIR SHOP NEEDING NEW FRONT HUBS (R AND L), A NEW FRONT DRIVE SHAFT, AND A NEW TRANSFER CASE. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS SUBSTANTIAL, AROUND FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS. I AM NOT SURE IF MY THIRD PARTY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL COVER THE DAMAGES OR NOT. I AM AWAITING WORD FROM THE WARRANTY COMPANY TO DISCOVER WHAT INDEED THEY WILL COVER BEFORE I HAVE THE TRUCK REPAIRED. *TR

THE VEHICLE IS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN SE KING CAB 4X4 PICKUP TRUCK WITH APPROX. 60K MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD IN TWO WHEEL DRIVE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS THE C-CLIP THAT RETAINS THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AXLE WITHIN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED ALLOWING THE AXLE TO SEPARATE FROM THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL, DISABLING THE CAPABILITY OF THE ENGAGING FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, AND DAMAGING THE EXTERNAL SPLINES ON THE AXLE SHAFT, AS WELL AS THE INTERNAL ENGAGING SPLINES IN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED DUE TO THE TRUCK BEING OUT OF THE 60K MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BY THE TIME I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. PARTS AND LABOR ESTIMATED AT ~$3400. *TR

WHENEVER THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW FREEZING THE DOOR LOCK/HANDLES FREEZE AND THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN OR IF I CAN GET IT OPEN IT WILL NOT LATCH. THE DOORS (BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT) HAVE FLOWN OPEN WHEN GOING AROUND A CORNER WHEN IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE CLOSED. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

JUST HEARD FROM MY NISSAN DEALER, THEY SAID MY REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING. I READ THIS COULD CAUSE BRAKING ISSUES. THIS TRUCK HAS 61,000 MILES AND THE NISSAN TITAN'S HAVE BEEN KNOW TO HAVE FAULTY REAR AXLE SEALS. DEALER WANTS ME TO REPLACE, BUT SEEM WHERE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE ESPECIALLY AT 61,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A LONG TERM WEAR ITEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
NISSAN FAILED TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION UNDER THE 60K POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT 56K MILES, AND HAS BEEN OUT OF USE SINCE NOVEMBER 11TH. THE VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THE NORTH CAROLINA LEMON LAW: AS WITH OTHER LEMON LAWS, IT IS REQUIRED THAT AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS REPURCHASE OR REPLACE A VEHICLE THAT HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY REPAIRED WITHIN A "REASONABLE NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS". IN NORTH CAROLINA, THIS REASONABLE NUMBER IS FOUR ATTEMPTS OR IF THE CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE WAITING REPAIR FOR A CUMULATIVE TOTAL OF 20 OR MORE BUSINESS DAYS DURING ANY 12-MONTH PERIOD OF THE WARRANTY. IT HAS BEEN OUT SINCE NOVEMBER 11TH, AND THEY STILL WANT ME TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THE TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY SHOULD COVER IT NO QUESTIONS ASKED. *TR

COMMENT ON REAR-END FAILURE: REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED LEAVING A GAS STATION AT 10 MPH WITH NO TRAILER DISABLING DRIVER FROM HAVING PROPER CONTROL OF VEHICLE WITH INTERMITTENT DRIVE/POWER-TRAIN CAPABILITIES AND DISTRACTING POPPING/GRINDING SOUNDS OF FAILED COMPONENTS IN REAR DIFFERENTIAL. UPON REMOVING REAR DIFFERENTIAL INTERNAL GEARS FOUND BOTH SPIDER GEARS HAD NUMEROUS TEETH BROKEN OFF WHILE ALL OTHER INTERNAL GEARS LOOKED "NORMAL". NISSAN1 (CASE/FILE#6346683) AND MY LOCAL DEALER/SERVICE MANAGER OFFERED NO WARRANTY REPLACEMENT HELP AFTER IT WAS REQUESTED. REPAIR FROM NISSAN WAS QUOTED AT $3,604.67 FOR COMPLETE AXLE ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT AND ONLY OFFERS A 12,000 MILE X 12 MONTH WARRANTY! VEHICLE HAD 69,960 MILES AT TIME OF DEFECT/MALFUNCTION. REAR DIFFERENTIAL UPGRADED TO A DETROIT TRUETRAC (LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL) AT OWNERS EXPENSE BUT TO LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE NISSAN REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY/COMPONENTS AND REPORTED FAILURE CASES WITH MINIMUM NISSAN COOPERATION! THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ON ALL TITANS. PLEASE HELP! *TR

AT 66,000 MILES THE REAR END SPIDER GEARS DISINTEGRATED CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE PINION GEARS AS WELL. NISSAN DOES NOT PROVIDE PARTS FOR THIS- BUT REQUIRE THE CUSTOMER TO PURCHASE THE ENTIRE REAR END WHICH COSTS $2800.00. I AM 6000 MILES OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY BUT THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER ANY TYPE OF COMPENSATION FOR A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE GEAR MATERIAL AND POOR QUALITY. MY NISSAN SERVICE WRITER SUBMITTED A REQUEST AND WAS DENIED BY NISSAN. *TR
