EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I CAN'T READ THE VEHICLE INFORMATION SCREEN WHILE DRIVING IN DAYLIGHT BRIGHTER THAN HEAVY OVERCAST. THIS IS WITHOUT SUNGLASSES. ADDING SUNGLASSES MAKES IT WORSE. I MUST LEAN FORWARD AND SHIELD THE SCREEN, AND THEN SQUINT TO READ THE DATA DISPLAYED. I KNOW ONE SHOULD PULL OFF THE ROAD WHEN A WARNING CHIME AND MESSAGE APPEAR, BUT YOU KNOW HOW HUMAN NATURE IS. NISSAN SAYS IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. IT IS FOR ME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHETHER STATIONARY OR MOVING, THE AC BLOWER, DEFROST, ETC WON'T WORK AS IT ALWAYS RUNS COLD AND DOES NOT BLOW ANY HOT AIR TO DEFROST WINDOWS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY PROBLEMATIC WHEN CAR IS FOGGIN UP ON THE INSIDE AND THE DEFROST WON'T BLOW ANY HOT AIR. CABIN OF TRUCK IS ESPECIALLY COLD NOW AS IT WON'T BLOW ANY HOT AIR. THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TYING TO TURN THE AC/HEATER CONTROL KNOB, LIKE THE BLOWER DOOR IS STUCK OR THE MOTOR CAN'T TURN THE DOOR TO LET THE HOT AIR IN.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, WHEELS
I WENT IN TO GET A TRUCK ON JULY 11TH... THEY HAD TO GET THE TRUCK STARTED BY JUMPING THE BATTERY THAT THEY SAID WOULD BE REPLACED. WHILE RUSHING US WITHOUT OFFERING A TEST DRIVE INSURRING THE TRUCK WAS SOUND AND MECHANICALLY STABLE. WE THEN DROVE OFF IN THE 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER. VRD ABS AND BRAKE AS WELL AS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE BRAKES THEN WENT OUT ON US AS WE REACHED OUT HOME. THE NEXT DAY WE INFORMED THEM OF WHAT HAPPENED, THEY SAID IT WAS JUST WATER ON THE BRAKES TO GIVE IT A DAY AND SEE WHAT IT DOES. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND WHEN WE TOOK IT BACK THEY SAID THE MECHANIC WAS GONE TO COME BACK. THATS WHEN WE NOTICED THE CARA REGISTRATION WAS FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE AND STARTED TO WONDER IF THEY HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO EMMISIONS AT ALL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OM SINCE WE LEFT THE LOT. BEFORE OUR FIRST PAYMENT I SPENT $900 ON PARTS HAD ROADSIDE CALLED 4 TIMES AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE TRUCK DIDNT LAST TO THE FIRST PAYMENT. COMPLETELY LOST ALL BRAKING POWER. THIS TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC THAT TOLD US IT WOULD NOT HAVE PASSED EMISSIONS WHEN WE GOT IT BECAUSE THE HISTORY ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHOWED IT WAS ONLY CLEARED AND NOT ADDRESSED.

SERVICE BRAKES
BREAK SIGN APPEARS ON DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. STRANGE NOISES COME FROM BRAKES AND BREAKS DOES NOT APPLY PROPERLY. IT HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN THE PAST AND I PULL OVER SAFELY, TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND TURN THE ENGINE ON BREAK SIGN IS GONE AND BREAKS START WORKING OK. THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN. VERY UNSAFE TO PULL THE CAR ON SIDE OF BUSY HIGHWAY, THEN TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND ON.

SERVICE BRAKES
I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP WHICH I DRIVE MAINLY IN THE WINTER DUE TO MY JOB REQUIRING ME TO GO INTO WORK IN EVERY SNOW STORM. I HAVE ONLY 128,000 MI ON MY TRUCK. THE TRUCK SITS IN THE SUMMER TO SAVE ON GAS. AFTER THE TRUCK SAT FOR THREE MONTHS THIS SUMMER HAD TO CHANGE A LEAKY OIL PAN FROM RUST. ONCE THAT WAS FIXED I TOOK IT OUT TO READY IT FOR INSPECTION. WHILE DRIVING CAME TO A STOP SIGN BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. TRIED PUMPING PEDAL AND HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. ENGAGED THE E BRAKE AND HAD VERY LITTLE YET NEXT TO NO STOPPING FROM THAT. ENDED UP CONSTANTLY PUMPING BRAKES WITH NO SECONDARY CIRCUIT ENGAGING. I CONTINUED TO GO THROUGH 2 MORE STOP SIGNS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP. LUCKILY IT WAS LATER AT NIGHT AND THERE WASN'T MANY CARS ON THE ROAD OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A BAD ACCIDENT. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK TOWED HOME I HAD PULLED THE LEFT FRONT INNER FENDER LINER OUT TO DISCOVER 2 JUNCTION BLOCKS WITH 3 LINES COMING IN AND GOING OUT. ALL THREE LINES HAD BURST AT THE SAME TIME CAUSING ME TO LOOSE ALL BRAKES. I TOOK A PICTURE OF THIS SO EVERYONE CAN SEE. NISSAN SHOULD PROVIDE AN EXTRA COVERING OR SOMETHING TO KEEP THE ROAD SALT FROM GETTING TO THESE LINES BECAUSE AS THESE TRUCKS GET OLDER I AM SURE PEOPLE WILL EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING AS ME BUT, MAY NOT BE AS LUCKY TO AVOID A BAD CRASH.

MY HUSBAND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY RECALLS. TWO DAYS AGO MY HUSBAND WAS GETTING IN THE TRUCK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE DASH BOARD AND A FIRE WAS STARTING. HE IMMEDIATELY RAN IN THE TRUCK STOP STORE AND WAS ABLE TO GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. ANOTHER CUSTOMER UNHOOKED THE BATTERY AS MY HUSBAND DISTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE TRUCK WILL NOT START AND WHEN TRYING TO TEST IT OUT BY RE-ATTACHING THE BATTERY THE SMOKE BEGAN AGAIN. WE ARE NOW WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND HAD TO GET THE TRUCK TOWED HOME.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE AIR CONDTIONING DOOR ACTUATORS COMMONLY GO OUT CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO NOT BE ABLE TO PERFORM THE DUTY OF DEFROSTING THE WINDSHIELD. EFFECTED ACTUATORS ARE BOTH THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND AIR FLOW CONTROL. THE PROBLEM HAS EFFECTED ALL NISSAN TITANS 2004-2015 HOWEVER A RECALL HAS ONLY BEEN ISSUED TO 2009 YEAR AND NEWER TITANS.

POWER TRAIN
I NOTICED OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY. HOWEVER, I WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOURCE INITIALLY. THE LAST INCIDENT I RETURNED HOME FROM WORK. AS I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE, I NOTICED MORE OIL ON THE GROUND. I STARTED LOOKING UNDER MY TRUCK AGAIN. THIS TIME I FOUND EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE. I TOOK MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN TO THE REPAIR SHOP. UPON COMPLETION OF THEIR INSPECTION, I WAS GIVEN A COPY OF NISSAN'S SERVICE BULLETIN REFERENCE #NTB10-032 2004 - 2008 TITAN, REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKS. THEIR LISTED REQUIRED ACTION IS TO "INSTALL THE NEW AXLE SHAFT ASSEMBLY---WHICH INCLUDES A NEW RETAINER, AXLE BEARING, OIL SEAL, BEARING CAGE, AND ABS ROTOR---LISTED IN THE PARTS INFORMATION TABLE". IMMEDIATELY BELOW ACTION IS A NOTE WHICH STATES "DO NOT REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY FOR THIS INCIDENT, IF IT SHOULD OCCUR". I CONTACTED NHTSA WHO THEN REFERRED ME TO NISSAN @ 800-647-7261. ONCE IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN, THE REPRESENTATIVE ASKED FOR THE LAST SIX NUMBERS OF THE VIN, PLACED ME ON HOLD, AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES SHE CAME BACK AND REFERRED ME TO MY INITIAL POINT OF CONTACT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT JUST A SERVICE BULLETIN. IT WOULD BE VERY TRAGIC TO HEAR OF A FATALITY AS A RESULT OF A FAULTY PRODUCT. READING THE MANY REVIEWS FROM TITAN OWNERS IT IS EVIDENT THE PART IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH.
