FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF TITAN OWNERS. I M AFRAID THAT IT WILL GET ONTO MY BRAKES AND CAUSE THEM NOT TO WORK. I HAVE 76K MILES ON MY TRUCK AND HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR

EQUIPMENT
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, SMOKE ENTERED THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE VENTS. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE, BUT THEY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V284000 (EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:AIR CONDITIONER). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR CENTER THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED THE REPAIR CAUSED THE WIRES TO MELT AROUND THE FAN. THE AUTO CENTER REPRESENTATIVE (WHO WAS ACTUALLY THE ONE FILING THE COMPLAINT) STATED THAT THE RECALL REMEDY DID NOT ACTUALLY REPAIR THE ENTIRE FAILURE. THE REPRESENTATIVE FURTHER STATED THAT THE FAN REPAIR WAS INSUFFICIENT AND THE RECALL NOTICE NEVER DESCRIBED WHAT COULD OVERHEAT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,400 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,300.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
PURCHASED A NEW NISSAN TITAN IN 2/2005. HAD THE FRONT BRAKES REPLACED AT 25,000 UNDER WARRANTY WHEN BEGAN TO FEEL VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. PRESENTLY I HAVE 57,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE SAME VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES IS HAPPENING AGAIN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A UPDATED TORQUE MEMBER KIT AND NEW FRONT PADS AND BRAKES FOR MY TRUCK AT A COST OF $756.59 BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID TO TAKE MY COMPLIANT TO THE FACTORY. I HAVE CALLED REPEATEDLY TO THE FACTORY AND AM STILL WAITING FOR A CALL BACK. DRIVING MY TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND I AM RISKING MY LIFE EVERYDAY I GET INTO IT TO DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK. MY MAJOR COMPLIANT WITH THIS ISSUE IS THAT IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE, IT IS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT IN THE TORQUE MEMBER KIT AND FRONT BRAKES AND I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN WITH 70,000 MILES. THIS IS ABSURD THIS TRUCKS REAR AXLE SHOULDN'T BE LEAKING ALREADY. I DON'T EVEN PULL OR HAUL ANYTHING HEAVY IN THIS TRUCK. ITS ONLY DRIVING IN TOWN NOT OFF ROAD. I WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OF $750 TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE SELS ARE ONLY $25. THEN AN EXTRA CHARGE OF $100 TO REPLACE THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. FLUID COSTS $7. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE AND ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH TITANS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE BAD THING IS IF THE LEAKING FLUID GET ON THE BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS YOUR BRAKES COULD FAIL CAUSING INJURIES TO MYSELF , MY FAMILY AND OTHER PEOPLE IF THEY WERE TO GO OUT. *TR

I OBSERVED A LEAKING REAR SEAL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY TRUCKS REAR AXLE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER GETTING A NEW DIFFERENTIAL. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED IT WAS DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. THE DIFFERENTIAL GETS TOO HOT AND THE PRESSURE OF THE HEATED LIQUID FORCES THE SEAL AT THE END OF THE AXLE TO FAIL. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT A NEW DIFFERENTIAL HAD BEEN DESIGNED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND WOULD BE INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK WHEN THE NEW PARTS ARRIVED. THIS SLICK FLUID COULD HAVE IMPACTED BRAKING ON THIS TRUCK DUE TO THE REAR DISC BRAKE ROTORS BEING EXPOSED. I CAUGHT THE LEAK EARLY AND NO FLUID HAD CONTACTED THE ROTORS. *TR
