ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM DASH WHEN SWITCHING FROM DEFROST TO VENT, THEN AGAIN AFTER VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF (LAST 10-20 SECONDS WORTH OF "TICKING" NOISE ), HAS DONE THIS SINCE I HAD PURCHASED IT. NOW THERE IS NO HEAT WHEN HEATER IS TURNED ON, BLOWS COLD AIR. IN READING FORUMS, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I SAW THE VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN, BUT IN TALKING WITH MY NISSAN DEALER, THEY SAY THIS ONLY GOES UNTIL 72K. KIND OF CONVENIENT WHEN IM AT 73K.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ON 05/22/2015, TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT OR NEAR POSTED SPEED IN MILD SUNNY WEATHER. THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF IN LANE OF TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO HESITATION, NOISE, ALARM, WARNING LIGHTS JUST SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. PULLED VEHICLE OVER TO RH SHOULDER AND TRIED TO RESTART IT WITH OUT SUCCESS.ON 05/18/2015, I HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED AND INSPECTED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS ROAD TRIP. THE TRUCK PASSED DEALER INSPECTION. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER SERVICE CENTER AND AFTER SEVERAL DAYS THE DEALER TOLD ME THE ECM HAD FAILED AND SHORTED OUT THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE REPAIR BILL WAS A LITTLE OVER $1400. I AM NOT OBJECTING TO THE COST OF REPAIR....I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRUCK JUST STOPPING ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING. IF THIS BREAKDOWN WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OR DRIVING LANES OF A NEARBY FREEWAY, OR ON A STEEP INCLINE WITH TURNS THE RESULTS MAY HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE SHORT AND FAILURE OF THE ECM WERE A RESULT OF A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM (SAME ONE THAT PASSED INSPECTION) AND HEAT SHORTED THE WIRING HARNESS. I FEEL THE WIRING HARNESS MAY BE TOO CLOSE TO THE HEAT OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND COULD HAVE BEEN ISOLATED AS NOT TO CAUSE FAILURE. UPDATED 8/31/15*CN UPDATED 10/23/2017*CN

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
THE TRUCK STALLED OUT NO POWER HAD TO CRASH INTO SHOULDER OF ROAD AND EMBANKMENT. GLAD WE SURVIVED THE BUMPY CRASH, I JUST HAD SUSPENSION WORK DONE THAT SAVED US. WE READ THE IPDM BOARD OR ECM RELAY IS BAD AND CAUSES THIS STALLING TO HAPPEN. PART NUMBER FOR ECM RELAY 284B7-CW29.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK WHEN MY LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON; MY GAUGE SHOWED APPROXIMATELY 1/8 REMAINING. THIS WAS NORMAL, AND THE POINT WHERE THE LOW FUEL LIGHT NORMALLY TURNED ON. THE NEXT MORNING, ON MY WAY TO WORK, THE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND THE NEEDLE SHOWED JUST OVER 1/8 TANK. THIS WAS ALSO NORMAL FOR THE LIGHT TO SWITCH ON AND OFF AS THE LEVEL TEETERED AROUND THE SWITCH POINT. A FEW MILES INTO MY TRIP, THE NEEDLE JUMPED TO AROUND 1/4 TANK, WHICH WAS NOT NECESSARILY NORMAL, BUT I HAD NO REASON TO QUESTION THE LEVEL BASED ON THE PREVIOUS ACCURACY OF MY GAUGE. HALFWAY TO WORK I LOST POWER, AND HAD TO PULL OVER ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. MY TRUCK WOULD NOT START, ALTHOUGH IT STILL SHOWED 1/4 TANK REMAINING. I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH ON MY PHONE FOR /2004 TITAN FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM/ AND IMMEDIATELY GOT RASHES OF HITS FOR DESCRIPTIONS EXACTLY LIKE MINE WHERE THEIR TITANS SHOWED 1/4 TANK REMAINING, BUT RAN OUT OF FUEL. AFTER WALKING A 4 MILE ROUND-TRIP TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND BACK, I PUT GAS IN THE TANK, AND DROVE TO WORK. AFTER A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH I FOUND A RECALL NHTSA# 10V074000 FOR 2005-2009 TITANS (MINE IS A 2004) AND NISSAN SERVICE BULLETIN EL08-013A FOR 2004-2009 TITANS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN AMERICA THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AND WILL NOT BE COVERED. I AM FINE WITH A FUEL SENSOR FAILING AFTER 186,000 MILES AND NOT BEING COVERED, BUT NOT IF IDENTICAL VEHICLES (2005-2009) WITH IDENTICAL HARDWARE ARE BEING RECALLED AND RECOGNIZED AS HAVING SAFETY ISSUES. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON THEIR 2004 TITANS, AND THEY NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
EMERGENCY BRAKE AND REAR BRAKES GOT COVERED IN GEAR OIL BECAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEAL LEAKING. IT STARTED SPEWING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND WHEN I TRIED TO COME TO A STOP IT TOOK WAY LONGER THAN NORMAL FORCING ME TO SWERVE TO MISS A PEDESTRIAN AND HITTING THE CURB AND A BUSH. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE THE DIFFERENTIAL LEAKING ON THE BRAKES IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN.

STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

ON APRIL 5TH, 2015 WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TRANSFER FROM MY WHEELCHAIR TO THE DRIVERS SEAT OF MY 2013 NISSAN TITAN THE GRAB HANDLE ON THE A-PILLAR BROKE CAUSING ME TO FALL ONTO THE GROUND.

SUSPENSION, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HI, I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN AND THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS CRACKED IN THE SAME SPOT TWICE NOW AND IT IS BEFORE THE CAT SO THAT MEANS ITS NOW A GROSS POLLUTER. THE PROBLEM IS YOU GET IT FIXED AND THEY PUT THE SAME PART BACK ON THAT CRACKS AGAIN BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T CHANGED THE DESIGN. THERE ARE 3 OTHER TITANS IN MY TOWN AND ALL OF US HAVE THE SAME STORY. ALSO THE SWAY BAR MOUNT ON ALL OF OURS ARE BROKE WITCH RESULTS IN VERY POOR HANDLING. I HOPE IT CAN BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. THANK YOU.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE ABS LIGHT, VDC LIGHT, SLIP LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR ACCOMPANIED BY ABS ACTUATOR SOUNDS. THE BRAKING EFFORT DID NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE EFFECTIVELY. RECYCLING THE IGNITION SWITCH RETURNED THE BRAKES TO A SATISFACTORY CONDITION. AFTER MY WIFE DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME, I SCANNED THE ABS FOR FAULT CODES: C1179. I AM AN ASE CERTIFIED MASTER AUTOMOBILE TECHNICIAN WITH 28 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. THIS DEVICE MEASURES THE TRAVEL OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND IS A NECESSARY COMPONENT OF A VEHICLE WITH STABILITY CONTROL (NISSAN CALLS IT VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL [VDC]). THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS 4 TIMES IN THE TEN YEARS THAT I'VE OWNED IT. THE FREQUENCY OF FAILURE IS VERY RANDOM, DUPLICATION OF THE FAULT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IT OCCURS WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. PEDAL WAS SOFT AND MADE A GRINDING NOISE. BRAKES WORKED BUT NOT VERY WELL. TOOK A VIDEO OF IT WITH MY CELL PHONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND THEY RESET SOMETHING. THEY SAID IT MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT DIDN'T. THEY SAID THE REPAIR WOULD COST $900.00. I THINK IT SHOULD BE FREE. THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD. TURNING TRUCK OFF AND ON FIXES THE PROBLEM BUT NOT PERMANENTLY. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, STOPPED THE TRUCK COMPLETELY, SHIFTED FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND AS SOON AS I TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL I HERD A LOUD POP AND THEN VIOLENT GRINDING. I SHIFTED MY TRUCK TO 4X4 TO PULL IT OFF THE ROAD WHERE IT IS STILL JUST SETTING WAITING TO BE REPAIRED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
APPLIED BRAKES AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. PEDAL WAS SOFT AND MADE A GRINDING SOUND. BRAKES STILL WORKED BUT NOT VERY WELL. CLEARED THE PROBLEM BY TURNING OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTING. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. I VIDEO TAPED WITH MY CELL PHONE BEFORE RESETTING. HAD THIS CHECKED SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND DEALER RESET SOMETHING. HE SAID IT MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. HE SAID THE COST TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART WOULD BE APPROX.$900.00. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD IF BRAKING HAD TO BE DONE SUDDENLY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE TOOK THE TITAN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL SERVICE AND GENERAL SERVICE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR THAT WAS ON RECALL NOTICE IS NOT COVERED ON OUR PARTICULAR VIN. INTERESTING THAT THE $110 DIAGNOSTIC TEST I WAS CHARGED FOR SHOWED THAT SENSOR HAS FAILED, BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER MY VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL. BY LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, I CAN SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY CONSUMER AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. MAKES ME WONDER IF NISSAN IS ACTUALLY HONORING ANY OF THE RECALLS FOR THIS PARTICULAR REPAIR. INTERESTING THAT AFTER MY SERVICE DATE, I WAS CONTACTED BY A SALES REPRESENTATIVE WITH THE SAME DEALERSHIP ASKING IF I WOULD CONSIDER BRINGING IN MY 2005 TITAN FOR A TRADE-IN OPPORTUNITY. I DON'T WANT A NEW CAR, I WANT THIS ONE REPAIRED WITH THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE NATIONAL OFFICE AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND THE INDIVIDUAL HANDLING THE CASE ALSO DECLINED MY REQUEST FOR REPAIR. ON THAT SAME CALL, I WAS ASKED HOW MANY NISSAN VEHICLES I OWN AND IF I WOULD CONSIDER BUYING A NISSAN IN THE FUTURE. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS RECALL, I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER NISSAN. NOR WILL I RECOMMEND NISSAN TO ANYONE WHO ASKED WHAT OUR EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION. *TR

ENGINE
I HAD THE DEALER INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAD CRACKED. THEY SAID THERE WAS A PREVIOUS NOTICE FROM NISSAN AND THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED AND THE DEALER DID NOT CONTACT ME. NOW THEY SAID TOO MUCH TIME HAD ELAPSED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS FREE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN DEFECT SINCE NISSAN HAD THEM REPLACED ON SOME VEHICLES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE CRACKED MANIFOLDS CAN CAUSE A CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK OR SET A FIRE WHILE DRIVING FAST. THE COST TO REPAIR IS NEAR $1000 FOR THE PARTS PLUS LABOR TO INSTALL. THERE MUST BE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAD THIS SAFETY PROBLEM SO THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FORCE NISSAN TO FIX ALL THE VEHICLES. MINE HAS ONLY 86000 EASY MILES ON IT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE TRAVELING AT 80 MPH I FELT AN ODD SHAKE ON MY TITAN. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WAS SMOKING. I NOTICED GEAR OIL LEAKING OUT ALL OVER THE BRAKES AND TIRE. I ENDED UP NEEDING TO REPLACE THE AXLE, SEAL,BEARING,BACKING PLATE AND ABS SENSOR. $1300.00 AND 3 DAYS LATER IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP. LEAKING GEAR OIL FROM THE SAME PLACE. WAITING TO HEAR FROM MECHANIC WHAT I NEED TO DO NEXT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED AROUND 55-65 IN HOUSTON TEXAS. A CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TO PUT THE BRAKES ON QUICKLY. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL MUSHED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR MAKING A GRINDING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE BARLEY SLOWED DOWN. I MADE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE BRAKES MADE AN LOUD GRINDING NOISE, AND LOST BRAKES COMPLETELY. WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED(WITH OUT GETTING HIT MY CARS) I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. I HAD TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND AS I SAT THERE I HEARD A NOISE UNDER THE DASH, LIKE SOMETHING RESET ITSELF. I START THE TRUCK UP AND MOVED SLOWLY FORWARD TO SEE IF I HAD BRAKES AND SUDDENLY THEY WERE WORKING AGAIN. THIS TRUCK HAS DONE THIS A MILLION TIMES AND IT IS JUST BY LUCK THAT I HAVE NO BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE BRAKES GO OUT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL AND NOTHING HE CAN DO WITHOUT A THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THEN HE ISN'T SURE IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM STUCK WITH THIS TRUCK AND IT CONTINUES TO LOOSE THE BRAKES. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE 2011. *TR
