STRUCTURE:BODY
THE PAINT IS PEELING ON THE HOOD AND ON THE ROOF. THIS TRUCK IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AND HAS 29,800 MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP BASED ON THE FACT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BY 7 MONTHS. BEFORE THAT, WE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER, AUTO NATION NISSAN IN MIAMI (DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD) AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM.

IN COLDER TEMPERATURES, THE DOOR HANDLES FREEZE AND WILL NOT WORK FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THE DOOR WILL ALSO NOT CLOSE AS THE LATCH MECHANISM SIMPLY WILL NOT ENGAGE. THIS LEAVES A FLAPPING DOOR THAT WON'T CLOSE, OR IF YOU CAN CLOSE IT, YOU CAN'T REOPEN IT, EVEN FROM INSIDE. PARKED IN THE COLD.

POWER TRAIN
FRONT LEFT AXLE SLID OUT FROM DIFFERENTIAL. THE RETAINING C-CLIP ON THE AXLE WAS INTACT BUT DID NOT RETAIN THE AXLE. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. THIS WAS FOUND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THE VEHICLE LEAKED FLUID ON THE GARAGE FLOOR, UPON INVESTIGATING THE LEAK THE FAILURE WAS IDENTIFIED. OTHERWISE THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY WITH NO INDICATION OF THE FAILURE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
ON NOVEMBER 2, 2016, I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 NISSAN TITAN XD (DIESEL) ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES). I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE IT REMAINS TO THIS DAY (NOVEMBER 30). THE DEALERSHIP, ALONG WITH ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN, HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR OR RESTART THE VEHICLE TO DATE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE FUEL HAS BEEN TESTED AND WAS DETERMINED TO BE CLEAN DIESEL AND PROBLEM FREE. THE FUEL RAILS WERE FIRST REPLACED, WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS THEN REPLACED, AGAIN WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. MY LAST CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP WAS ONE WEEK AGO, AND I WAS TOLD THE NISSAN ENGINEER'S FELT THE FUEL SYSTEM/ENGINE WAS NOT GETTING "PRIMED" AND THEY WERE GOING TO LOOK INTO THAT SYSTEM. STILL,, THE VEHICLE REMAINS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO START THEN VEHICLE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED OTHER OWNERS OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE MAY OR MAY ALREADY HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE CHECKED BECAUSE IT COULD RESULT IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURY, LOSS OF LIFE AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN STOPPING SHARPLY TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING LESS THAN 20 MPH WHICH MADE A SUDDEN TURN IN SAME LANE BRAKES FAILED. THIS CAUSED A NEAR FATALITY. THIS IS THE 7TH TIME BRAKE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED IN THIS VEHICLE DESPITE NUMEROUS REPAIRS COSTING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS--THANKFULLY NOBODY HAS BEEN KILLED OR MAIMED --YET. AT THIS POINT AND HAVING REVIEWED SIMILAR EXPERIENCES BY MANY OWNERS AND NOTING THAT FATALITIES HAVE OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE/DESIGN FLAW I WOULD APPRECIATE ADVICE .

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NEVER READ FULL BUT STOP AT 7/8 OF A TANK. NOT A BIG DEAL BUT LAST NIGHT MY GAUGE READ BETWEEN 1/8 AND 1/4 TANK AND I RAN OUT OF GAS ON A MAIN ROAD AT NIGHT. THE FUEL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AND NORMALLY DOES WHEN I AM LOW ON FUEL. DOING RESEARCH ON THIS I FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2005-2009 TITANS FOR THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE BUT NOT 2004. READING THE FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL, IT 100% REFLECTS THE SAME ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. I CALLED NISSAN AND SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE AND SHE SAYS MY VEHICLE DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY RECALLS. SHE SAID TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT BUT FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE, THEY WILL HAVE TO DROP THE FUEL TANK WHICH WILL COST QUITE A BIT. I LOOKED ON OTHER FORUMS AND THIS SEEMS TO OF BEEN A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH 2004 MODEL YEAR BUT WHY IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL IS BEYOND ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BECAUSE NOW I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL IS ACTUALLY IN MY TANK AND I WOULD RATHER THIS NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I GOT LUCKY WITH THE SPOT I WAS IN WHERE MY TRUCK STALLED ON A VERY BUSY ROAD AND DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE ATTACHED THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE FOR THE 2005-2009 MODEL YEAR.

SERVICE BRAKES
METAL BRAKE LINE RUPTURE AND COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. THE REAR METAL BRAKE LINE CROSSOVER FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO THE DRIVER SIDE THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE REAR AXLE JUST ABOVE THE JACKPOT COVER RUPTURED. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR EACH TIME IT WAS PRESSED WITHOUT HESITATION AND HAD NO BRAKING CONTROL AT ALL. BRAKE FLUID WAS EVERYWHERE UNDER THE TRUCK, ON THE DRIVE WHEELS, AND ON THE PAVEMENT CAUSING ITS OWN HAZARDOUS CONDITION ALONG WITH NO BRAKES. FORTUNATELY THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT WHILE I TOW MY 10,000LB TRAILER DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THAT WOULD NOT HAVE ENDED PRETTY.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM RECALL FOR 2005 NISSAN TITAN - NISSAN CLEARLY HAS A RECALL FOR THE 2005 NISSAN TITAN FUEL GAUGE THAT IS NOT DISPLAYING CORRECTLY. UPON CONTACTING NISSAN, THEY HAVE SAID THE VIN I PROVIDED IS NOT AFFECTED WHICH IS RIDICULOUS AS MY 2005 NISSAN HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 340,000 TRUCKS THAT ARE AFFECTED. NISSAN HAS CLEARLY NOT INCLUDED ALL VIN'S THAT ARE AFFECTED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AS THERE IS NOT INDICATION OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE SINCE THE GAUGE WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IF THE VEHICLE QUITS ON A HWY DUE TO RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, NISSAN SHOULD BE COMPLETELY LIABLE FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGE, INJURIES THAT THIS MAY CAUSE ON AN OPEN HIGHWAY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
CONNECTION USED BETWEEN MUFFLER AND TAILPIPE COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY LEAVING THE TAILPIPE DANGLING FROM BOTTOM OF TRUCK. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DESIGN ISSUE IN WHICH ALL NISSAN TITAN TRUCKS SINCE ORIGINAL RELEASE HAD A CONNECTOR PIECE THAT IS NOT GALVANIZED FOR RUST PREVENTION WELDED TO THE BEGINNING OF THE TAILPIPE AND THE END OF THE MUFFLER PIPE EXTENSION. THESE PIECES ARE THEN BOLTED TOGETHER WITH BOLTS THAT AREN'T GALVANIZED. THE CONNECTION PIECES ARE FLANGED SO THEY HOLD WATER AND START RUSTING. THE RUSTING TYPICALLY STARTS TO COMPLETELY RUST THROUGH AFTER THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY IS OVER BUT BEFORE 60 MONTHS. THIS DESIGN HAS NOW BEEN CHANGED ON THE LATEST RELEASE ON NISSAN TITANS (2016 MODELS) NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND EVEN REIMBURSED ME FOR A FIX OF THE PROBLEM BUT WOULD NOT DOCUMENT IT IN WRITING. THEY ONLY TOOK MY COMPLAINT VIA PHONE, THEN PROMISED TO PAY BACK BY CHECK, AND MADE ME HAVE THE WORK DONE AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. THIS ISSUE ISN'T BEING REPORTED ONLY BECAUSE MOST TITANS ARE WORK TRUCKS THAT ARE COMMONLY SERVICED BY THE OWNER THEMSELVES. HOWEVER THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE A TAILPIPE TO FALL OFF ON A HIGHWAY THAT CAN OR EVEN MAY HAVE ALREADY CAUSED ACCIDENTS TO VEHICLES THAT ARE SIMPLY DRIVING BEHIND A NISSAN TITAN. LUCKILY I NOTICED THE HANGING TAILPIPE WHEN I WAS IN A PARKING LOT SO I STRAPPED IT UP TO THE BODY AND SAFELY DROVE IT HOME TO TEMPORARILY FIX TILL I COULD CONTACT NISSAN CORPORATE TO GET THEM TO HELP. I HAVE TO SAY THEY DID FIX THE ISSUE BUT ONLY AFTER I COMPLAINED. THE DEALERSHIP KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND HOW TO FIX BUT ALSO WAS SENSITIVE TO MAKING THIS AN ISSUE AS THEY SEEM TO BE COVERING UP AND JUST HOPING THE OWNERS OF NISSAN TITANS WILL FIX THIS ISSUE THEMSELVES AS WE ARE EVERYDAY US CITIZENS THAT HANDLE PROBLEMS DAILY IN OUR LIVES. THIS ONE NISSAN SHOULD STAND UP TO AND HAVE A PROPER RECALL. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I RECENTLY HAD AIR BAG LIGHT START FLASHING. I TOOK IN TO NISSAN DEALER TO GET CHECKED AND THEY SAID THE "SPIRAL CABLE" WAS BAD, THIS IS ALSO KNOWN AS CLOCK SPRING. NISSAN RESET AND SAID BRING BACK IF OCCURS AGAIN. IT DID AND I TOOK TO ANOTHER SHOP FOR SECOND OPINION AND SAME RESULT. I AGREED TO GET PART TO FIX THE TRUCK. AFTER BEING TOLD PART WAS ON BACK ORDER NO ETA ON DELIVERY OF PARTS FROM NISSAN. AFTER 4 WEEKS I CHECKED AND FOUND OUT THE SAME DEALER HAS 6 OTHER "SPIRAL CABLES" ON BACK ORDER. AS I STAND NOW, ACCORDING TO NISSAN MY TRUCKS DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF NEEDED, AND NO ETA ON PARTS.
