POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
LOSS OF SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO A FAILED OR WEAKENED HOSE CLAMP. NISSAN DEALER INFORMED ME THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND A REPAIR KIT HAD BEEN DEVELOPED AS A FIX, HOWEVER NO CUSTOMER/OWNER NOTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM WAS MADE. WHY WASN'T RECALL ISSUED? WAS 60 MILES SOUTH OF ATLANTA WHEN DISCOVERED ONLY BY CHANCE DURING A WALK AROUND AFTER GETTING GAS. MIGHT JUST AS EASILY HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER WITH MY WIFE AND TWO LITTLE GIRLS. *TR

AT 42,000 MILES, MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN STARTED LEAKING FUEL FROM THE FUEL TANK. MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP STATES THAT IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT AND FUEL TANK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS TOPIC ONLINE IN FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2004 THROUGH 2007 NISSAN TITANS. I HAVE MADE A REQUEST THROUGH NISSAN CORP. FOR A "GOOD WILL REPAIR" AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN A RESPONSE IN THREE DAYS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR EIGHT DAYS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 REAR DIFF FAILURE AT ABOUT 53K, WAS REPLACED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE THE NEW DIFF WAS PUT IN, NOISE AND THUMPING CAN BE HEARD AND FELT WHEN STOPPING AND GOING COMING FROM THE REAR. WHEN PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE FROM PARK YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL THE DRIVE SHAFT BANG WHEN IT GOES INTO GEAR, THERE IS TOO MUCH SLACK IN THE REAR AND THE DEALER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WHEN THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG. I FEEL THAT THE REAR WILL AGAIN FAIL. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE EXTEND CAB WITH OFF ROAD PACKAGE AND TOWING PACKAGE. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKES LOOKED AT ABOUT EVERY 20K MILES. I CURRENTLY HAVE 67K ON IT, AND I HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR 3 DAY WHILE WAITING ON NISSAN CORP TO DECIDE IF THEY WOULD STILL COVER THE BRAKE DEFECT. THE DEALER TOLD US THEY COULD ONLY TURN THE ROTORS AND REPLACE THE PADS, WHICH THEY DID 2X'S. NOW IT NEEDS NEW ROTORS AND PADS, AND SUDDENLY THE RECALL IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT, SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY OVER $500 TO GET THIS DONE. I REFUSE, AND I AM STILL WAITING ON NISSAN CORP TO CALL ME. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN, THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT
AFTER APPROX 38,000 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SEAL REQUIRED REPLACEMENT DUE TO EXCESSIVE LEAKAGE. AT 43,600 MILES THE REAR AXLE HAS FAILED, ONE MECHANIC THOUGHT IT WAS AS SIMPLE AS THE CLUTCH PLATES STICKING WHICH CAUSED THE REAR TIRES TO TURN THE SAME SPEED WHEN TURNING CAUSING THE INSIDE TIRE TO SPIN OUT. LOUD BANGING STARTED TO OCCUR ABOUT 60 MILES BEFORE TOTAL FAILURE, IN 40 MILE BEFORE, WHEN LEAVING A GAS STATION THE TRUCK HAD SHAKEN VIOLENTLY ON TAKE OFF THEN SUBSIDED AS ACCELERATION INCREASED. WITH ANY SMALL TURN, THE LOUD BANGING RETURNED. ON SHARP TURNS THE TRUCK SEEMED TO PULL IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, EVEN AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 20 MPH. I DECIDED TO PUT THE TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE, WHICH HELPED SOMEWHAT, PROBABLY TAKING SOME OF THE LOADING OFF THE REAR AXLE, BUT THE DRIVE WASN'T EASY. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT MY TITAN AND AFTER RAISING THE REAR END AND SPINNING THE TIRES HE SAID THE SPIDER GEAR WAS SHOT AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER 50 MILES AWAY, DROPPED THE TRUCK OFF BECAUSE THEY WERE CLOSED BUT DID HAVE THE CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EARLIER. THE SERVICE REP GUESSED THE REAR OF MY TRUCK BEFORE I COULD SAY ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY REAR AXLE. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY THE SERVICE REP CALLED ME AND SAID THE REAR AXLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, WHEN THE FIRST MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM, I NOTICED BOTH SEALS ON THE AXLE WERE LEAKING, THE DRIVER SIDE EXCESSIVELY. I USE MY TITAN FOR EVERYDAY COMMUTE AND OFTEN TOW MY 4,000 POUND TRAVEL TRAILER. WHEN TOWING AND TURNING SHARPLY, SOMETIMES THE INSIDE WHEEL WOULD SPIN OUT, I THOUGHT THIS MAY BE NORMAL BUT I GUESS WHEN UNDER LOAD THE DIFFERENTIAL DOES NOT RELEASE PROPERLY CAUSING THE SPIN. WHEN FINAL FAILURE OCCURRED, THE REAR END WOULD SLIP OR SKIP AS IF GEARS WERE MISSING. WHEN I PARKED THE TRUCK FOR THE LAST TIME IT HAD MOVED SEVERAL INCHES BACK UNTIL ANOTHER GEAR ENGAGED. *TR
