I AM IN THE MILITARY STATIONED IN VIRGINIA... I HAD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END OF MY TRUCK PRIOR TO THANKSGIVING. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE U JOINTS ARE GOING BAD. DIDN'T SOUND LIKE A U JOINT, SO I ASKED NISSAN WOULD IT BE OK FOR ME TO DRIVE THE TRUCK 440 MILES EACH WAY TO GO HOME TO WV TO SEE MY FAMILY FOR THANKSGIVING AND THEY SAID YES, IT WILL BE FINE. SO I GO HOME AND SAW MY FAMILY, AND THEN THE SATURDAY MORNING AFTER THANKSGIVING I GOT UP EARLY AND WENT AND STOPPED AND GOT GAS. GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT UP AND WHEN TO PUT IT IN GEAR, AND THE WHOLE REAR END JUST GRINDED. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE JUST TO DRIVE TO MY SISTER HOUSE AND CALLED NISSAN. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK FOR 14 DAYS, AND ORDERING A NEW REAR END FOR A 2 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK, THEY DECIDED THAT THEY COULD NOT GET A NEW REAR END DUE TO NATION BACKORDER, SO THEY PULL ONE OFF OF A 06 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 AND THEN I GOT TO RETURN BACK TO VA TO ASSUME MY MILITARY DUTIES, AFTER BEING STUCK IN WV FOR 2 WEEKS. THEY DID GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR, BUT PUT A RESTRICTION ON THE CAR WHEN I COULD ONLY DRIVE 150 MILES A DAY. SO I COULDN'T GO BACK TO WORK IN VA. I DID MISS OUT ON WORK, AND TIME, AND HAD TO USE 2 WEEKS OF MY VACATION DAYS, BUT MOST IMPORTANT, THIS COULD HAVE HAPPEN DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, OR IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND COULD HAVE PUT MY LIFE & OTHERS AROUND ME AT DANGER! NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM, OR FIX IT RIGHT. BEFORE PEOPLE DIE! THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND WHENEVER MY GAS TANK IS LOW AND I GO TO FILL UP AFTER A WHILE GAS WILL START TO GUSH OUT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LIKE ALWAYS THEY CAN'T "DUPLICATE". I KNOW OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WHERE GAS SQUIRTS OUT. THIS IS A HEATH AND SAFTEY ISSUE. THE GAS HAS GUSHED BACK OUT AT ME SEVERAL TIMES.. AND IT HAPPENS ABOUT 30 SECONDS AFTER YOU START PUMPING GAS. *NM

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE IN MY NISSAN TITAN PICKUP. STARTED AS A CLUNK WHEN CHANGING GEARS FROM PARK TO DRIVE AROUND 9,700 MILES ON THE TRUCK. EVENTUALLY LED UP TO A FEELING OF SLACK IN THE DRIVLINE, A FEELING AS IF THE U-JOINTS WERE GOING OUT. BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY ONE DAY AND A LOUND POP FOLLOWED BY GRINDING OCCURED. HAD IT TOWED DOWN TO JOHANSON NISSAN AND THEY REPLACED IT, BUT TOOK OVER 30 DAYS SINCE THERE WAS A NATIONAL BACKORDER FOR THE REAR DIFF. THIS HAPPENDED IN FEBURARY OF 05, AND I WAS #12 ON THE PARTS LIST. REPLACEMENT DIFF ONLY LASTED AROUND 7,000 MILES AND WENT OUT AS WELL. BOTH REAR DIFF FAILURES WERE CAUSED BE BROKEN SPIDER GEARS. DEALERSHIP AGREED TO BUY BACK TRUCK. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE REAR END HAS COME APART TWICE. THE FIRST REAR END WAS REPLACED BEFORE IT STRANDED ME. THE SECOND WAS REPLACED AFTER IT CAME APART AND THE REAR END LOST ALL MOTION. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS, IT WOULD MOST LIKELY CAUSED A WRECK. *NM

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AT LEAST 25 OTHER OWNERS THAT I KNOW OF. NISSAN HAS NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. THE FACTORY HAS INCREASED THE FLUID CAPACITY AND NOW USES SYNTHETIC FLUID. ALSO AN ALUMINUM FINNED COVER FOR BETTER HEAT TRANSFER. THIS IS A 'BAND AID' FOR A DIFFERENTIAL THAT IS NOT ABLE TO HANDLE THE WEIGHTS THIS VEHICLE IS DESIGNED TO TOW. FAILURES CONTINUE EVEN AFTER THE BAND AID HAS BEEN PERFORMED. SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD 4 FAILURES ON THE SAME TRUCK!!!! *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2004 TITAN SE WITH BIG TOW PACKAGE. ASD OF 26000 MILES HAVE HAD BRAKES REPLACED FOUR TIMES, THE LAST TIME BY A NISSAN ENGINEER. ALSO A REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER. HAVE ALREADY HAD THE RECALL BRAKES, THOSE WERE PUT ON THE SECOND TIME, AT 21000 AND WERE PROBLEMS SHORTLY AFTER, SO THE RECALLED BRAKE PARTS DO NOT WORK!!! NISSAN CORPORATION TOLD US THAT THEY FELT NO RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO REPLACE OUR VEHICLE. I FEEL A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT COMING UP. AND BY THE WAY, TRUCK STRUGGLES TOWING 6500LBS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS SUPPOSE TO TOW 9500. *JB

THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER , WHO SAID THEY COULD TURN DOWN THE ROTORS, BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD RETURN. THE CONSUMER DID NOT WANT THE ROTORS TURNED DOWN, HE WANTS THEM REPLACED. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA SEVERAL TIMES, AND THEY WILL NOT RETURN CALLS OR DISCUSS THE ISSUE. THE CONSUMER FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN.

SEAT BELTS
ALL PASSENGER SEAT BELTS INTERMITTENTLY GO TO THE CHILD RESTRAINT MODE WHEN BEING USED BY IN THE NORMAL PASSENGER MODE. THE PASSENGER MUST REMOVE THE SEAT BELT, RETURN IT TO THE RETRACTED POSITION, AND RECONNECT THE SEAT BELT. IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN MOST OFTEN ON A BUMPY SURFACE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PRACTICE. SOME VEHICLE OWNERS WILL SURELY DISABLE THE CHILD SAFETY FUNCTION. OTHERS WILL ENDANGER THEIR PASSENGERS BY HAVING THEM REMOVE THE SEAT BELTS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. *NM
