ENGINE
THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE FAULTY AND CRACK ALLOWING DEADLY CARBON MONOXIDE EXHAUST GASES TO ENTER THE CAB OF THE TRUCK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. THIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS AND CRASH. IT WAS ONLY AFTER MY 6TH LONG ROAD TRIP (3+ HOURS DRIVING) DID I DISCOVER I WAS BEING POISONED BY CARBON MONOXIDE. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO AN EXHAUST REPAIR COMPANY AND AS SOON AS I MENTIONED MY VEHICLE THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME HE WAS 99% SURE I HAD A CRACKED MANIFOLD. HE LATER CONFIRMED THIS WITH A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH REVEALED BOTH MANIFOLDS CRACKED AND LEAKING EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE CAB. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED ME JUST SITTING IN A PARKING LOT! I THOUGHT I WAS JUST GETTING BAD HEADACHES FROM THE LONG DRIVE AND MY NAUSEA WAS FROM THE EXTREME HEADACHES. AFTER THIS HAPPENING SO MANY TIMES I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE MORE TO THIS. THINK ABOUT SOMEBODY DRIVING, BEING POISONED TO THE POINT TO WHERE THEY PULL OFF THE ROAD TO REST AND TRY TO SLEEP OFF THEIR HEADACHE IN A RUNNING VEHICLE TO STAY WARM AND END UP DYING. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS. I DON'T WANT A NEW DEFECTIVE MANIFOLD, I WANT A FIX!

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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE HEATER FAILED TO WORK. ON COLD FROSTY MORNINGS, I COULD NOT USE MY FRONT WINDOW DEFROSTER BECAUSE IT FAILED TO BLOW HOT AIR. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE A DRIVER CANNOT SEE OUT A FROSTED WINDOW. THE WATER VALVE THAT CONTROLS MOVEMENT OF HOT ENGINE COOLANT INTO THE HEATER CORE NEEDED REPLACED TO WORK PROPERLY. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN ADMITTED THAT HE HAS A TO REPLACE MANY OF THESE ELECTRONIC WATER VALVES. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM WITH ELECTRONIC WATER VALVES FAILING....UPDATED 12/03/15 *BF UPDATED 05/21/18*JB

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER DRIVING FOR 250-300 MILES WITH STOPS FOR FUEL AND FOOD THE ENGINE LOSES POWER AND QUITS. AFTER GETTING OFF THE ROAD AND TURNING OFF THE IGNITION FOR SEVERAL MINUTES THE ENGINE WILL RESTART AND RUN FOR 10 T0 20 MINUTES UNTIL IT QUITS AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AT SPEED OF 70+/- MPH. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 6 OR 8 MONTHS. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO SEVERAL SHOPS AND SEVERAL PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ACCORDING TO THE ECM SERVICE ENGINE CODES. NOTHING HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM. TOOK THE TRUCK TO NISSAN DEALER FOR HELP. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND SAID THEY HAD NO RECORD OF ANY SUCH PROBLEM AND COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY DROVE THE TRUCK AND HAD THE PROBLEM HAPPEN WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO QUIT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AT THIS POINT NEITHER DOES NISSAN. I BELIEVE THIS LOSE OF POWER IS AS DANGEROUS AS THE GM IGNITION PROBLEM WHICH CAUSED A LOST OF POWER. SINCE I NEED THE TRUCK FOR TRANSPORTATION I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT BUT TRY TO STAY IN THE RIGHT LANE SO I CAN GET OFF THE ROAD WHEN IT QUITS.

REAL AXLE SEAL LEAK. NISSAN DOES NOT RECOMMEND REPLACING THE SEAL BUT SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AXLE AND TO REPLACE AXLE. IF NISSAN KNOWS THE AXLE IS FAULTY AND REQUIRES THE AXLE TO BE REPLACED INSTEAD OF JUST REPLACING THE SEAL THEN THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND PAY FOR THE FIX UNDER A RECALL.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLAMP UNIT FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE. WATER INTRUSION INTO THE UNIT CAUSING MOISTURE BUILDUP WITH RESULTING CLOUDINESS, CALCIUM LIKE ETCHING, AND SPIDER WEB-LIKE CRACKING OF THE PLASTIC LENS. POOR UV SUN BLOCKING ABILITY OF THE PLASTIC LENS TO RETARD YELLOWING & CLOUDING. THESE DEFECTS IN THE HEADLAMP UNIT CONSTRUCTION PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD ISSUE AT NIGHT AS IT REDUCES THE EFFECTIVENESS AND ABILITY TO PROJECT LIGHT BEAM AT LEVELS NECESSARY FOR CLEAR VISUAL FIELD. THIS VEHICLE HAS INCURRED COMPLETE HEADLAMP UNIT ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENTS TO BOTH DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDES TWICE SINCE VEHICLE PLACED INTO NEW SERVICE IN 2009. IT APPEARS THE CHEAP PLASTIC LENS COVERS USED IN MANUFACTURING IS THE CULPRIT. USE OF GLASS FOR LENS WOULD ELEMINATE THESE PROBLEMS AS GLASS DOES NOT DETERIORATE WITH SUN OR MOISTURE.

NOTICED A SMALL FLUID LEAK UNDER MY CAR, IT LOOKED LIKE RADIATOR FLUID. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO CHECK IT OUT. WHEN THE NISSAN TECHNICIANS INVESTIGATED THE LEAK THEY INFORMED ME THE LEAK WAS FROM THE SEAMS OF THE RADIATOR AND THE RADIATOR REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS COMMON AND ROUTINE WEAR AND TEAR FOR NISSAN. THE 2009 TITAN HAS JUST OVER 41,000 MILES AND IS ONLY DRIVEN ON PAVED ROADS. IT HAS NO OFF-ROAD MILEAGE. I DO NOT BELIEVE A PROPERLY DESIGNED RADIATOR SHOULD LEAK FROM THE SEAMS AFTER 6 YEARS AND LOW MILEAGE.

SEATS
THE SEAT FOAM IS POOR QUALITY - THE SEAT FRAME CUT THROUGH THE FOAM AND I CAN NOW FEEL IT ON MY BACK AND BOTTOM SEAT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY NISSAN REPLACED THE BACK SEAT FOAM TWO OR THREE TIMES DUE TO THE FRAME PUSHING THROUGH THE FOAM. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND UNLESS I WANT TO SPEND A $1,000+ TO REPLACE THE SEAT I AM STUCK WITH THE PLEASURE OF FEELING THE METAL FRAME PUSHING INTO ME IN WHILE DRIVING VICE THE COMFORT OF THE CUSHIONS THAT SHOULD BE BETWEEN THE SEAT FRAME AND ME. I DOUBT IT IS SAFE TO HAVE SUCH LITTLE CUSHION BETWEEN ME AND THE SEAT FRAME IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 TITAN, I NOTICED A BANGING AND CLANGING SOUND. I THOUGHT IT WAS A LIMB STUCK IN MY TIRE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I NOTICED OIL ON THE INSIDE REAR ROTOR, PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS ALREADY MILES FROM HOME ON A HUNTING TRIP. I ONLY HAVE 79,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. AFTER HUNTING, I LIMPED MY TRUCK ABOUT 30 MILES HOME, TRAVELLING ABOUT 35 MPH, WHILE IT IS BANGING AND CLANGING, SOUNDING AS THOUGH THE WHEEL IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. I MADE SEVERAL STOPS ON THE WAY HOME TO MAKE SURE THE WHEEL WAS STILL SECURE. I FEEL BLESSED TO MAKE IT HOME AS THE WHEEL STARTED TO BIND WHEN I HIT THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER TALKING TO SEVERAL MECHANICS, THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE ALOT. THE REPAIR WILL COST SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $3,000 TO $4,000. APPARENTLY THE AXLE SEAL BLEW WITHOUT WARNING AND NOW THIS HAS CHEWED UP THE GEARS INSIDE AND DESTROYED THE HOUSING. THE MECHANICS SIMPLY SUGGESTED TO BUY THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE AND REPLACE. THEY ALSO STATED THE ORIGINAL DESIGN WAS PISS-POOR. OF COURSE, THIS HAPPENS AFTER PLACING $2,000 REPLACING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT WERE UNDER WARRANTY FOR 80,000 MILES AND 10 YEARS OLD. MINE WERE 11 YEARS OLD AND THE TRUCK HAD 79,000 MILES ON IT. THE LOCAL GARAGE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP. IT WAS MORE THAN 10 YEARS OLD. I WOULD HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING YOU COULD DO TO MAKE THE MANUFACTURER LIABLE FOR THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

THE FIRST DRIVING OFF THE CAR LOT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN WE GOT HOME I CALLED BACK THE DEALER TO LET HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED, HE SAID TO BRING IT BACK THE FOLLOWING THURSDAY TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON, DURING THE SAME WEEK THE TWO FRONT WINDOWS FELL DOWN INTO THE SLOT COULDN'T COME BACK UP SO WE HAD DRIVE IN THE DEAD OF WINTER WITH THE WINDOWS DONE.

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.
