POWER TRAIN
WHILST DRIVING IN BAD WEATHER I HAD MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED. I WAS DRIVING 5 MILES AN HOUR ON A STRAIGHT GRAVEL ROAD, WHEN I STARTED HEARING A GRINDING NOISE. BEFORE I COULD GET STOPPED SAFELY TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS THERE WAS A LARGE THUD AND MY ENTIRE TRUCK SHOOK. IT WAS THEN POURING GEAR LUBRICANT OUT OF MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. AFTER TAKING THE TRUCK APART TO FIND THE DAMAGE I DISCOVERED THE AXLE SHAFT (NISSAN PART NO.: 38220-8S11A) HAD BEEN STRIPPED OF ITS SPLINES ON THE END. THE PART LOOKS AS IF IT WAS MACHINES PERFECTLY CYLINDRICAL. THE METAL SHAVINGS FROM THE SHAFT SLIGHTLY MARRED UP THE SEALS SO I REPLACED THE SEALS AND SHAFT, SPIDER GEARS SEEMED OKAY TO REUSE.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE LIGHTS SIGNAL TURNS ON AND A LIGHT GRINDING NOISE CAN BE HEARD AND BRAKES GO OUT. I HAVE TO STOP FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TURN OFF MY TRUCK. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I TURN ON THE TRUCK AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURNS OFF AND MY BRAKES START WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN TWICE. THANK GOD THAT THE TIMES IT HAS HAPPEN THERE HAS BEEN HARDLY ANY TRAFFIC. ALTHOUGH, ONE DAY IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY SO I CALMED DOWN, RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL AND CRUISED TO THE NEXT EXIT AND PULLED INTO A GAS STATION. ALL THIS TIME THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR IS FULL SO AFTER TURNING OFF THE TRUCK AND TURNING IT BACK ON AGAIN, THAT SOLVES THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO TAKE VACATIONS ON THE TRUCK AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT LIKE THIS, ESPECIALLY WITH MY THREE KIDS IN THE BACK. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I HAVE IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT JUST STAYS ON AND FLASHING. I'VE TRIED HAVING IT RESET BUT IT DOESN'T WORK. WE HAVE A 2007 NISSAN ARMADA ALSO AND IT HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS MY TITAN. WE THOUGHT THAT BY BUYING NISSAN WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES, BUT WE WERE WRONG.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
SOMETIMES THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING. THEN IT REDUCES MY TITAN TO 10MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION AND I WAS GOING LESS THAN 30MPH BOTH TIMES. THE TRACTION LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON WHEN I DRIVE SOMEWHERE AND LET MY CAR SIT IDLE. USUALLY WHEN THAT HAPPENS ALL THE LIGHT APPEAR. I'LL TURN IT OFF AND ALL THE LIGHTS WILL DISAPPEAR EXCEPT FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME THIS EVER HAPPENED WAS WHEN WE WERE SITTING IDLE IN A PARKING LOT AND AT FIRST IT WOULDN'T EVEN GO ANYWHERE.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO A FOUR LANE ROAD WITH MEDIAN SEPARATING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION LANES, I BEGAN TO PULL OUT AND WHEN PART WAY ACROSS WAS FACED WITH AN EMERGENCY WITH A CAR RACING AT ME IN THE SECOND LANE. FLOORING THE ACCELERATOR, THE TRUCK FAILED TO ACCELERATE OR DOWNSHIFT THROUGH THE TURN. THIS IS BRAND NEW 2018 TITAN XD DIESEL 2000 MILES ON IT. FIRST TRIP TO DEALER TOLD NO CODES ALL FIRMWARE UP TO DATE. "YOU NEED TO DRIVE SOME MORE FOR IT TO LEARN" SYMTOMS STILL EVIDENT AFTER 600 MILES. DEALER FOUND NOTHING AND NISSAN SAID RELEASE TO CUSTOMER. "UNABLE TO REPLICATE CUSTOMER CONCERN." FILED CASE WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. TOLD TO TAKE TO DIFFERENT DEALER FOR SECOND OPINION. SAME ANSWERS. NISSAN SCHEDULED ENGINEER TO MEET ME AT DEALER. DUPLICATED DELAY / LACK OF DRIVE OVER TO MEET ENGINEER. TEST DROVE FOR 30 MINUTES WHERE ENGINEER DUPLICATED HARD SHIFTS BUT NOT DELAYS. MY OPINION BUT HE NEVER TRIED TO MIMIC CONDITIONS FOR DELAY. REPORT " NO PROBLEMS FOUND, EVERYTHING TO MAUNFACTURES DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS. " TOOK BACK TO FIRST DEALER AND TEST DROVE WITH TECH WHO IMMEDIATELY AND REPEATEDLY REPEATED PROBLEM OF DELAY / NO ACCELERATION FOR MULTIPLE SECONDS WITH ACCELERATOR FLOORED. SAID NISSAN NEVER CAME UP WITH FIX, THEY ALL DO IT. ALSO, OFFERED HIS OWN SITUATION WHERE ON A TEST DRIVE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A SEMI AFTER MAKING A TURN ON A HIGHWAY FEEDER ROAD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT AFTER 3 YEARS.

TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN STUCK IN 4TH GEAR WHILE IN DRIVE. IT. WILL SWITCH INTO PARK, REVERSE AND NEUTRAL. WHEN THE TRUCK IS PUT ON THE COMPUTER THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES SHOWING THAT WOULD REQUIRE REPAIR THEREFORE NISSAN REFUSES TO SUBMIT ANY DOCUMENTATION HIGHER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THIS STANDARD TRANSMISSION IN ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES. ON A SIDE NOTE, I'VE HAD 2 OTHER NISSANS WITH A CENTRAL VARIABLE TRANSMISSION THAT HAVE ALL DONE THIS AS WELL. I'VE SINCE BEEN ABLE TO GET RID OF THOSE VEHICLES, BUT I AM STUCK WITH THIS ONE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2007 TITAN LE 4WD, WITH 72,000 MILES. IN DEC 2018 MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR WOULD FLASH ONCE AND QUIT WHILE DRIVING BUT ISSUE IS REPLICATED DRIVING OR STATIONARY, ENGINE ON OR OFF. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND HITTING THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL TRIPPED IT OFF, AS IF I'D TAPPED THE BRAKES. A WEEK EARLIER, I STARTED HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH MY BACKUP SONAR WARNING SYSTEM THEN COMPLETE FAILURE. LATER TROUBLESHOOTING THE TURN SIGNAL ISSUE, I REALIZED WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE, THE RIGHT FRONT TURN LAMP WOULD ILLUMINATE WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. I REALIZED IF I HELD OR RODE THE BRAKE PEDAL, THEN ENGAGED THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, THE RIGHT TURN LAMPS AND INDICATOR WORKED NORMAL, UNTIL I RELEASED THE BRAKE, THEN THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL LAMPS WOULD QUIT. ALSO NOTICED THAT ALL CLEARANCE LAMPS, TAIL AND STOP LAMPS FLUCTUATED A LITTLE IN SYNC WITH THE TURN SIGNAL OPERATION. I REALIZE I'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. CHECKED WHAT I COULD AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO MY CAR REPAIR GUYS. THIS MORNING, WHEN I STARTED IT FOR THE TRIP, I HAD WARNING LIGHTS ON FOR LOW TIRE PRESSURE (FLASHING, THEN STEADY, THEN FLASHING), ABS (STEADY) AND SLP (STEADY), AND SAID IT WAS IN 4WD WHEN THE DIAL WAS IN 2WD. NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN BEFORE. AFTER 5 MILES THE 4WD INDICATOR WENT OFF AND THE 2/4WD GRAPHIC WAS BACK MY SHOP FOUND A MELTED WIRE BUNDLE ABOVE MY EXHAUST WHERE THE TAILPIPE EXITS THE MUFFLER. THEY SAY IT LOOKS LIKE A HEAT SHIELD IS EITHER MISSING OR THAT ONE SHOULD BE THERE. HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC SAYS IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS SEVERAL KEY SYSTEMS WIRES PASS IN THAT BUNDLE THAT HAS INDICATIONS OF EXCESS HEAT AND MAY HAVE PARTIALLY MELTED WHICH COULD CREATE SHORTS THAT COULD MAKE OTHER VITAL SYSTEMS FAIL, OR CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE. STILL IN THE PROCESS OF DIAGNOSING AND REPAIR.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED ENTIRELY TO FLOOR TO ENGAGE. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET THE TRUCK TO SLOW DOWN. LUCKILY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO NISSAN TO BE EVALUATED. THEY STATED IT WAS A FAILURE OF THE ABS ACTUATOR AND SAID THEY LOOKED IT UP AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE OF THIS PART COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING., I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK SINCE 2005, WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED BY NISSAN OF THIS RECALL, AND WHAT CAN I DO TO CORRECT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION?

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK ON A MAIN ROAD AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE MY TRUCK WAS BARELY MOVING, UNLESS I PUT THE PEDAL TO THE GROUND. THE TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND AFTER LOOKING INTO IT, THE CODES P1757 AND P1759 CAME UP FOR THE FRONT BREAK SOLENOID VALVE AND AFTER EXAMINING THE TCM, I NOTICED THE PIN SNAPPED FOR THE FRONT BREAK SOLENOID, HENCE MAKING THE TRUCK GO INTO LIMP MODE. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND NOTICED THAT MULTIPLE 2005 NISSAN TITANS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OF THIS PIN SNAPPING CAUSING THE TRUCK TO GO INTO LIMP MODE BECAUSE THE SOLENOID RECEIVES NOW POWER. I WAS TURNING ONTO A MAIN ROAD WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 35 SO I ACCELERATED THINKING IT WOULD DO SO NORMAL AND MAKE IT BEFORE AN ONCOMING CAR WAS COMING, WHEN THE TRUCK WAS SLOWLY MOVING IN FRONT OF THE INCOMING CAR, I HAD TO QUICKLY PUT THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE TO AVOID THE ON COMING CAR BECAUSE I WAS EXCEPTING TO MAKE THE TURN BEFORE THE CAR WOULD COME BUT THE TRUCK GOING INTO LIMP MODE CAUSE THE TRUCK TO TAKE MUCH LONGER TO BARELY MAKE THAT TURN. I WAS LUCKY TO REVERSE QUICK ENOUGH FOR I DO NOT KNOW IF THE INCOMING CAR WOULD HAVE STOPPED OR SLOWED DOWN IN TIME.
