CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS BEEN NOTED, AND/OR.POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION OF CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WELDED TO MANIFOLDS. 118,500 MILES. REPLACEMENT MANIFOLDS/CATS COST IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND LABOR INTENSIVE. SO-CALLED "COMMON PROBLEM" WITH TITANS. IMO, THIS PROBLEM MAY POSSIBLY SEND CO2 TO PASSENGERS IF NOT CORRECTED, NOT TO MENTION POOR VEHICLE PERFORMANCE AND POSSIBLE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE IF NOT CORRECTED. NISSAN SHOULD CERTAINLY INITIATE A RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

THE WELD ON THE LEFT REAR SHACKLE THAT HOLDS THE LEAF SPRING IN PLACE RUSTED THROUGH AND THE LEAF SPRING PUSHED UP THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK BED CAUSING A HOLE. IN MY OPINION BASED ON MY INSPECTION THE WELD FAILED DUE TO RUST. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2006 AND HAD CORROSION PROTECTION APPLIED. THIS TYPE OF WEAR AND TEAR SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE LIKE THIS. I HAVE TAKEN PHOTOS TO DOCUMENT THE DAMAGE. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN TO REVIEW THE ISSUE.

MY ONLY COMPLAINT WOULD BE WHY HASN'T THEIR BEEN A RECALL ON ANY TITANS THAT ARE HAVING CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS, WHICH CAUSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIRS.

I WAS ALERTED THAT MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN NEEDED TO HAVE THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED AS THERE WAS "LOOSENESS" AND FLUID LEAKING. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT REPAIRABLE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD CAUSE THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL TO LOCK UP, CAUSING POSSIBLE SUDDEN STOPPING AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL.

STEERING GEAR SHIFTER IS STUCK ON "D" DRIVE AND DOES NOT SHIFT TO LOWER GEARS. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AT THE END OF 2006 BRAND NEW. ABOUT TWO YEARS LATER, THE SHIFTER DID NOT WORK ANYMORE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SHIFTER PART WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. THANKS....UPDATED 01/04/2016 *BF

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ON 05/22/2015, TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT OR NEAR POSTED SPEED IN MILD SUNNY WEATHER. THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF IN LANE OF TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO HESITATION, NOISE, ALARM, WARNING LIGHTS JUST SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. PULLED VEHICLE OVER TO RH SHOULDER AND TRIED TO RESTART IT WITH OUT SUCCESS.ON 05/18/2015, I HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED AND INSPECTED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS ROAD TRIP. THE TRUCK PASSED DEALER INSPECTION. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER SERVICE CENTER AND AFTER SEVERAL DAYS THE DEALER TOLD ME THE ECM HAD FAILED AND SHORTED OUT THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE REPAIR BILL WAS A LITTLE OVER $1400. I AM NOT OBJECTING TO THE COST OF REPAIR....I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRUCK JUST STOPPING ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING. IF THIS BREAKDOWN WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OR DRIVING LANES OF A NEARBY FREEWAY, OR ON A STEEP INCLINE WITH TURNS THE RESULTS MAY HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE SHORT AND FAILURE OF THE ECM WERE A RESULT OF A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM (SAME ONE THAT PASSED INSPECTION) AND HEAT SHORTED THE WIRING HARNESS. I FEEL THE WIRING HARNESS MAY BE TOO CLOSE TO THE HEAT OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND COULD HAVE BEEN ISOLATED AS NOT TO CAUSE FAILURE. UPDATED 8/31/15*CN UPDATED 10/23/2017*CN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A SIDE WALL.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
