POWER TRAIN
WHEN I PUT VEHICLE IN DRIVE, IT WOULD ONLY GO IN REVERSE. I DISCOVERED THE LINKAGE FROM THE GEARSHIFT LEVER TO THE CABLE HAD SEPARATED. THE PLASTIC RETAINING RING ON THE SHIFT CABLE HAD BROKEN TO PIECES AND LEFT NOTHING TO HOLD THE CABLE TO THE SHIFT LEVER. THIS IS POTENTIALLY EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS A DRIVER COULD MOVE LEVER TO PARK AND THINK HE IS ACTUALLY IN PARK WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED. SOMEONE GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS STILL RUNNING WILL THEN HAVE A RUNAWAY VEHICLE. LOCAL NISSAN DEALER HAD NO REPLACEMENT PART. I INSTALLED A RETAINING RING AND CLIP. THE FIX COSTS PENNIES AND JUST A FEW MINUTES TIME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, MY ENGINE STALLED. I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER TO MY TRUCK, WITH NO ERROR CODES, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAD TO PLACE MY TRUCK IN NEUTRAL WHILE AT SPEED IN TRAFFIC IN THE LEFT LANE AND COAST TO A SAFE LOCATION ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER. DURING THIS TIME, I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. AFTER I SAFELY STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER, I TRIED TO RESTART MY ENGINE. MY ENGINE WOULD NOT START. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, MY TRUCK HAD INTERMITTENTLY STALLED WHILE STOPPED, WITH AN ERROR CODE THAT POINTED TO AN INEFFECTIVE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAD MY MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR REPLACED, MY ECM RELAY REPLACED, AND MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED, AT A COST OF ~ $5000 TOTAL. I AM NOW TOLD THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE IS LIKELY THE CULPRIT FOR ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS, WHICH WILL COST ME ANOTHER $700 TO REPLACE. IN RESEARCHING PREVIOUS RECALLS, THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL FOR THE ECM RELAY, BUT NOT THE IPDM MODULE. IT APPEARS IN OTHER TITAN FORUMS THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED FROM THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE SHOWED 1/4 TANK OF GAS, WAS RUNNING FINE AND SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHILE A YOUNG GIRL 18 YEARS OLD WAS DRIVING HOME FROM DROPPING OFF SIBLINGS AT SCHOOL. AT 55 MPH THERE WAS NO POWER BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD HEAVILY TRAVELED BY 80 TON GRAVEL TRUCKS. NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HAS HAD A NUMBER OF TITANS EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE CAUSED BY A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. THEY DID A TSB ON ALL BUT 2004S EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE THE SAME PART. NISSAN REQUIRED ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR NISSAN DIAGNOSTIC ($93) EVEN THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY TOLD ME THIS WAS AN ISSUE AND NISSAN WOULD PROBABLY COVER IT. THE NISSAN REGIONAL REP ([XXX]) REIMBURSED THE REPAIR BUT REFUSED THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE SHE REQUIRED ME TO GET. NISSAN DENIES RESPONSIBILITY FOR RECALLING THESE VEHICLES WHICH THEY KNOW CAN JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN TRUCK DOWN RESIDENTIAL ROAD APPROACHING A STOP SIGN WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND GRINDING NOISE CAME ON SIMILAR TO SOUND OF ABS BRAKES WHEN ACTIVATED. I HAD NO STOPPING POWER AND WENT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLES COMING AS MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE WITH ME. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND NEAR MISS. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS WHEN I GOT HOME AND FOUND 1,000 OF OTHER SIMILAR CASES. WHEN WILL THE NHTSA TAKE ACTION AND HAVE NISSAN FIX THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR ON THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, WHEELS
I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2007 NISSAN TITAN AND I LOVE THE TRUCK. I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND I STARTED SMELLING BRAKES BURNING, I PULLED OVER AND MY REAR PASSENGER WHEEL WAS SMOKING. I LOOKED ON THE BACK SIDE AND REAR END DOPE WAS ON THE BACK OF MY WHEEL. THE WHEEL SEAL HAS WENT OUT. COME TO FIND OUT LOOKS LIKE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS BEEN SEALED UP BEFORE. SO, ITS A PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN REAR END SEALS AND DIFFERENTIAL SEAL. IT CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD GETTING ON THE BRAKES. THE WHEEL COULD CATCH ON FIRE. *TR

THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE!!! MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL IS ALSO SLOWLY GOING OUT BUT ISN'T BAD ENOUGH FOR THE WARRANTY TO COVER IT. *TR

STRUCTURE
TONNEAU COVER FLEW OFF BACK OF TRUCK ON BUSY HIGHWAY. CAR COMING BEHIND TRUCK HIT IT, ROLLED AND DID SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THEIR VEHICLE. ALL FOUR CLIPS WERE ON TONNEAU COVER, SO IF ONE CLIP CAME OFF, THE OTHER THREE SHOULD HAVE HELD COVER IN PLACE. SHORTLY AFTER THIS ACCIDENT, I WAS TOLD BY TWO OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED WITH THEIR TONNEAU COVER, HOWEVER, NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL THAT THE TRUCK LINER FLEW FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. THERE SHOULD BE SOME TIME OF SAFETY HARNESSES ON THESE TRUCK PARTS. THE BRACKETS THAT WERE USED TO HOLD DOWN THE TONNEAU COVER ON THE NISSAN TITAN WERE NOT USER FRIENDLY, NOR VERY ACCURATE FOR THE DANGERS THAT COULD OCCUR FROM THE COVER FLYING OFF THE VEHICLE. *TR
