SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I PURCHASED MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2005. I NOTICED A VIBRATION BEGINNING IN LATE FEBRUARY 2006 WHEN BRAKING. ON MARCH 11, 2006, THE BRAKES WERE REPORTED WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS DURING REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AT 17344 MILES. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN REPORTED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND RECOMMENDED AN UPDATED BRAKE KIT IF THE VEHICLE HAD NOT ALREADY HAD IT. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT THERE WAS NO NEED TO DO THIS WORK UNTIL THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE. THE VIBRATION HAS CONSISTENTLY WORSENED SINCE THAT TIME AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK VIBRATES WHEN BRAKING. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. I HAVE OWNED MANY OTHER TRUCKS AND NEVER REQUIRED BRAKES OR ROTOR REPAIR WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF PURCHASE. I HAVE RESEARCHED DIFFERENT WEBSITES TO DISCOVER THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS IN THIS AREA. *NM

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WHEN THE REAR-END, LOCKED UP, AND THERE WAS A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY A VIOLENT JERKING MOTION. ALL I COULD HEAR WAS METAL ON METAL GRINDING AND MY TRANSMISSION GRINDING TO A HALT. SINCE THE REAR END HAS FAILED, THE TRANSMISSION HAS A SHUDDERING TO IT BETWEEN 30-35 MPH AND THE STEERING HAS BEEN OFF IN THE TRUCK AS WELL. IT IS HARD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL SOMETIMES, AND THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE REAR-END, BUT THE SHUDDERING AND STEERING PROBLEMS ARE STILL PREVALENT, AND THE ANSWERS I SEEM TO BE GETTING FROM THE DEALER IS THAT IT IS MY FAULT, MY PROBLEM, AND THAT I AM LOOKING FOR THINGS FOR THEM TO FIX!!!!*JB

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
WAS SITTING ON A SLIGHT UPHILL WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY. HAD 2 MOTORCYCLES IN THE BACK. HIT THE GAS, HEARD A LOUD CLUNK THAT SHOOK THE WHOLE TRUCK. PULLED INTO PARKING LOT AND DISCOVERED IT WAS THE DIFF. AFTER THAT I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. ANYTIME I TURNED OR ACCELERATED THE DIFF WOULD GO CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK. DEALER PAID UP TO $35 FOR A RENTAL CAR BUT BECAUSE I HAD THE DIRT BIKES I HAD TO PAY $10/DAY OUT OF POCKET TO RENT ANOTHER TRUCK. REPAIRS NOT COMPLETED YET. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, TIRES
BRAKE PEDAL PUSHES BACK AGGRESSIVELY, SHIMMY IN STEERING WHEEL AT SPEEDS OF 35 MPH. STEERING WHEEL JERKS AT TIMES TO RIGHT AND LEFT AT SPEEDS OF UP TO 50 MPH ALONG WITH BRAKE PEDAL PUSH BACK. THIS HAPPENED IN A MATTER OF DAYS. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. DEALERSHIP SAYS I HAVE TO PAY TO GET NEW ROTORS A BRAKES. I HAVE NOT DROVE THAT AGGRESSIVE NOR SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES TO HAVE ROTORS REPLACED, NOR DO I RIDE THE BRAKES TO HAVE MY BRAKES REPLACED THIS EARLY IN THE GAME FOR A NEW TRUCK DO THIS! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT A POSSIBLE BRAKE AND ROTOR PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I WILL NOT PUT MY FAMILY IN THIS TRUCK. THE CORPORATE PERSON I TALKED TO SAYS THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM WITH THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL WAS ISSUED NOT EVEN A WARNING WAS POSTED. THIS IS NOT GENERAL MAINTENANCE THIS IS A MAJOR(SAFETY) DEFECT. CORPORATE TOLD ME THAT THE ROTORS ARE TO SMALL FOR THE TRUCK. IF THERE IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHO GETS STUCK WITH THE BILL MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND I COVER THE GAP. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED TWO TIRES FOR ABNORMAL WEARING IN THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND THAT IS AFTER ROTATING SEVERAL TIMES. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, LIKE THE ONE FORD HAD ON ITS EXPLORER? I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR COMPANY TO ANYBODY. *JB

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 THAT SEEMS TO BE BUGGED BY PARTS FAILURES (GREMLINS AS THE DEALER LIKES TP CALL THEM). THE FIRST PROBLEM (BRAKES) HAPPENED AT ABOUT 2 WEEKS OLD OR 1000 MILES. THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY FIXED THE PROBLEM(SO THEY SAID). ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. AGAIN THE DEALER FIXED IT. AT ABOUT 5 MONTHS OLD (8000 MILES) THE REAR END SEEMS TO FALL APART. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THAT WHEN THEY FIX IT, THEY WILL PUT THE UPGRADED REAR END IN, WHICH TOOK ABOUT 2 WEEKS TO HAVE DONE. AT ABOUT 7 MONTHS OLD (14000 MILES) WHILE ON VACATION IN FLORIDA, THE STEERING COLUMN DECIDED TO FALL APART, CAUSING ME TO LOOSE STEERING AND ALMOST CRASH. NOW I HAD TO BRING IT TO A NEW DEALER DOWN IN FLORIDA (WHO DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN FOR REPAIR, BUT AFTER A LONG CONVERSATION WITH NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA TOOK IT IN, FOR 3 WEEKS TO FIX THE PROBLEM). NOW AFTER 10 MONTHS (16000 MILES) OF OWNING THE TRUCK, THE REAR END HAS BROKEN AGAIN. IT IS AT THE DEALER ONCE AGAIN, WHERE I WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE (VOR ORDERED) BACK ORDERED WITH NO DATE OF ARRIVAL. I LOVE THIS TRUCK BUT JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. *NM

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE (2005 NISSAN TITAN, 12,800 MILES) - THERE WERE VERY FEW SIGNS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OF THE READ DIFFERENTIAL. I NOTICED SOME LOUD THUDS COMING FROM THE DRIVETRAIN AS I ACCELERATED. THEN WITHIN ABOUT 0.5 MILES OF DRIVING, THE THUDS WERE LOUDER AND MUCH MORE FREQUENT, AND THE TRUCK WAS NOTICEABLY STRUGGLING TO MOVE. I IMMEDIATELY PARKED IT AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE REPLACING THE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY (THE DAMAGE IS IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, BUT APPARENTLY NISSAN JUST REPLACES THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY). THE AXLE ASSEMBLY IS BACK ORDERED FOR 2 WEEKS. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
PULLED UP TO STOP SIGN WITH NO PREVIOUS INDICATION OF PROBLEM. WHEN I PROCEEDED TO TURN LEFT, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL STARTED MAKING LOUD CLUNKING NOISES AND SLIPPED IN AND OUT OF ENGAGEMENT. I WAS ABLE TO PUT TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE TO GET IT TO DEALERSHIP. *JB THE PROBLEM HAS NOT YET BEEN CORRECTED AS NISSAN STATES I NEED A NEW REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND THEY ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THEY CAN GIVE ME NO ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN I WILL GET MY VEHICLE BACK.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON 03/27/2006 DRIVING TO WORK IN MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN [XXX] PICKUP ACCELERATED ON ITS ON. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT MERGING IN TO TRAFFIC WHEN IT ACCELERATED FORWARD BY IT SELF AND WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. WHEN THIS ACCRUED I TRIED TO PUT IT IN TO NEUTRAL, STILL NOTHING HAPPEN, EVEN WITH BOTH OF MY FEET BARRING DOWN ON THE BRAKE THE TIRES WHERE BURNING RUBBER AND I WAS STILL MOVING SLOWLY FORWARD. FINALLY I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND IT SHUT DOWN, I WAITED A FEW MOMENTS AND TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN. AT THIS TIME IT DID IT AGAIN AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AGAIN, WAITED A FEW MORE MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN, AT THIS TIME IT STARTED CORRECTLY AND I DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO KRAFT NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR THERE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. KRAFT NISSAN TOOK THE AFTERNOON TO LOOK OVER THE TRUCK, AT AROUND 3:01 PM THE SERVICE WRITER CALLED AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND MY TRUCK IS READY TO BE PICKED UP. I SAID THAT THE PROBLEM IS REAL AND THAT THEY NEED TO FIND IT, THEY SAID IF PROBLEM CAN'T BE SEEN THEY CAN'T FIX IT. I TALK WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND THEN CALLED NISSAN AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD THE SAME THING. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND IF THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN THEY CAN TRY TO SOLVE AT THAT TIME. ALSO WAS TOLD THAT MY FOOT COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME, TOLD HIM THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE BOTH OF MY FEET WHERE PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BOARD TO STOP THE TRUCK. *JB [XXX] UPDATED 07/16/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
1. WAS TURNING OUT OF PARKING LOT AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN I HEARD A CLANK, THEN LOSS OF POWER. I REGAINED POWER MOMENTARILY, BUT WAS NOT SURE WHAT EXACTLY HAD HAPPENED. I THEN DROVE HOME, ABOUT 1/2 A MILE, AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP THEN ASKED ME TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO THEM, ABOUT 4-5 MILES AWAY. THE DEALERSHIP RECOGNIZED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG, BUT SOONEST AVAILABLE TIME TO LOOK AT IT WAS AFTER THE WEEKEND. I LEFT THE TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT THE WAY IT WAS THEN. 2. THE FAILURE ENDED UP BEING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND SINCE THERE HAS BEEN A NATIONAL BACK-ORDER IT HAS LEFT ME WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP COULD RECEIVE THE PARTS AND INSTALL THEM. I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO THE STORE TO BUY FOOD. 3. THE DEALERSHIP ORDERED REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR WHAT WAS BROKEN AND THEY PAID FOR MYSELF TO HAVE A RENTAL CAR WHILE I WAIT FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN AND GET PUT IN. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL 30MPH ON A WET ROAD, BRAKE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED AND THERE WAS A FRONT END VIBRATION AS THOUGH THE ABS ENGAGED. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THE VEHICLE'S REAR END SLING AROUND AND STRIKING SOME BRUSH AND TREES WITH MINOR DAMAGE. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED AND THE POLICE WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY A DEALER WHICH REPLACED THE ROTORS, BUT SUGGESTED THE ACCIDENT COULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE WET ROAD CONDITIONS.
