POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN WHICH I PURCHASED USED AT 23,000 MILES. TWO YEARS AGO (2013) I HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE U-JOINTS FAILED WHICH COST $1400 DOLLARS. NOW, MARCH 2015, I AGAIN HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. I FOUND THAT THE RIGHT AXLE HAD POPPED OUT. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED WHICH COST $2300 DOLLARS. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT BOTH OF THESE INCIDENTS COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO CRASH AND THAT I WAS LUCKY. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE (FUEL PUMP, BRAKES, EXHAUST SYSTEM). I WAS ALSO CONTACTED BY AN ATTORNEY WHO INFORMED ME THAT HE WAS CONDUCTING A LAW SUITE AND WANTED TO KNOW WHAT ISSUES I HAVE HAD. THE ATTORNEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A "LEMON" BY THE FIRST OWNER. *TR

AIR BAGS
VEHICLE SIDE OR CURTAIN AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING A VIOLENT T-BONE COLLISION IN WHICH ANOTHER VEHICLE STRUCK THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK AT MODERATE SPEED. HAD ANY PASSENGERS BEEN SEATED IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, SERIOUS INJURIES OR WORSE WOULD HAVE RESULTED FROM THE AIRBAG FAILURES.

SERVICE BRAKES
RANDOMLY, SEVERAL TIME A WEEK..AND THEN NOT FOR MONTHS..AND THEN THE SYMPTOM REAPPEARS. WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK, THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE. IF I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHILE THE BRAKE LIGHT IS LIT, THE PEDAL MOVES TO THE FLOOR EASILY, THE BRAKES SHUDDER AND THE FEEL OF THE POWER BRAKE SYSTEM IS GONE. THE STOPPING POWER IS DRAMITICALLY COMPROMISED. THE FIX SEEMS TO BE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF AND MAY REMAIN OFF FOR DAYS, THE BRAKE FEEL AND FUNCTION ARE FINE. THEN RANDOMLY, THE PROBLEM WILL REAPPEAR. I CAN'T FIND A CODE FOR IT. A LAWSUIT WAS FILED AND SETTLED IN CALIFORNIA FOR THIS ISSUE..SEE: THE NISSAN BRAKE / DELTA STROKE SENSOR CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FILED IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA - BANKS ET AL V. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. ET AL. BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL AND REPAIR. SCARY WHEN THIS OCCURS ON A HIGHWAY AND THE 5600 POUND TRUCK IS TRAVELING 60 MPH OR MORE. SINCERELY. *JS

AIR BAGS
I BOUGHT MY NISSAN VERSA 2009 IN HENDERSON NISSAN IN NEVADA. 9 MONTHS AFTER (11/23/2009) THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHTS WENT ON . I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY FIX. NOW LAST FEB.09,2015 THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP WERE I BOUGHT MY CAR TO CHECK FOR THAT PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR NEED A NEW AIRBAG AND SPIRAL CABLE THAT WILL COST ME $1241. I ASK THEM WHY, THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR IT. THEY SAY BECAUSE I DONT HAVE ANY MORE WARRANTY. I SAID THIS IS ONE OF THE SAFETY FEATURE OF THE CAR. BUT STILL THEY INSIST ON THE WARRANTY. I ASKED THE GUY IF IT IS NOT FIX WHAT WILL HAPPEND, HE SAID THE AIG BAG WILL NOT INFLATE IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT. SO I CALL THE NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICE TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE BUT THEY SAY THEY CANNOT HELP ME. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THAT KIND OF AMOUNT. MY CAR IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND THE MILEAGE IS ONLY 56,147. WHY AM I HAVING THIS PROBLEM TO SOON. *JS

THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AXLE IS POPPING OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ESPECIALLY AFTER IT HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED ONCE. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE NISSAN TITAN FRONT FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY STARTING FROM 2004 AS THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ON MANY OF THE NISSAN TITAN FORUMS. I WILL BE BRINGING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVERS TO THE DEALER AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL ASSIST IN COST OF THIS MAJOR MALFUNCTION. AGAIN, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO THIS VEHICLE AS IT DOES NOT GET MUCH HEAVY USE. NO TOWING AND HARDLY EVER USES THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. *TR

WHILE PULLING OUR BOAT OUT FROM BOAT RAMP IN 4LO AND A LOUD NOISE CAME FROM DIFF. WHEN I ARRIVE HOME 25MIN LATER IN THE DRIVE WAY I NOTICED GEAR OIL FROM PASSENGER SIDE. UNDER TRUCK I NOTICED WHERE LEAK WAS COMING FROM AND PUSHED THE AXLE BACK AND IT STOPPED LEAKING. I DRAINED AND REMOVED SHAFT ASSEMBLY SIDE DIFF AND REPLACE SEAL AND REFILLED GEAR OIL. ON THE NEXT TRIP WE NOTICED GEAR OIL LEAK CAME HOME DID RESEARCH AND NOTICED THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM PURCHASED THE CIRCLIP THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT AFTER LAST NIGHT NOTICED THE SHAFT BROKE WHERE THE CIRCLIP WAS SUPPOSE TO BE. LOOKED DOWN THE DIFF HOUSING AND NOTICED THE OTHER PIECE OF THE SHAFT NUB STUCK INSIDE. ESTIMATE $2500 FOR DIFF REPLACEMENT TO 38500-8S112B OR $825 TO REPLACE SHAFT AND GEAR. 3RD TIME I'VE EVER USED 4 WHEEL DRIVE!!!! *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHING AND FAILED TO STOP. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER FOR REPAIR ALSO GAVE THEM MY SERVICE CONTRACT INFORMATION THROUGH ALLSTATE CONT #; [XXX] AT [XXX]. I WAS TOLD AS WELL AS THE DEALER THAT THE WIRING HARNESS THAT CAUSED THE ISSUE WAS ALLOWED TO BE PATCHED AND NOT REPLACED AND FURTHERMORE WAS NOT A COVER ITEM EVEN THOUGH ELECTRICAL IS COVERED IN THE PLAN. I EXPLAINED TO THEM IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO PATCH AND REPAIR THE WIRES AS WELL AS TO TIME CONSUMING TO LOCATE THE 1 WIRE. THE MAN INFORMED ME THEY DO THIS PRACTICE ALL THE TIME. SO HOW MANY UNSAFE VEHICLES HAS ALLSTATE WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF PABLO CREEK PLACED IN SERVICE? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN. DOOR LATCH FAILURE DURING COLD WEATHER BELOW FREEZING. LIVE IN PA, SO TIME PERIOD OF THIS WEATHER IS DECEMBER - MARCH. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN, NOR CLOSE PROPERLY FROM INSIDE, OR OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE. HAD THIS PROBLEM LAST WEEK, WAS NOT ABLE TO GET BACK INTO VEHICLE FOR 10MIN . YESTERDAY DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY DOOR OPENED UNEXPECTEDLY AND PASSENGER NEARLY FELL OUT OF VEHICLE. NO ONE INJURED, HOWEVER YOU CAN IMAGINE THE EXPERIENCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I MUST DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH A RATCHET STRAP FROM ONE DOOR TO THE OTHER TO KEEP THEM SHUT. THIS IS NOT SAFE BUT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE ISSUE AT THIS TIME. THERE IS A NISSAN TSB THAT THEY WILL REPLACE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM IF VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN USA: TBNS BX56AA / TSB 05118. HOWEVER IF VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY QUOTED ME AT $400+ PER DOOR X'S 4 DOORS. THIS IS UNREASONABLE AND A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MOST OF THE COUNTRY THAT EXPERIENCES WEATHER BELOW 32DEGREES F. IT IS A KNOWN FAILURE THAT NISSAN USA KNOWS ABOUT. THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATED RECALL. THERE WILL BE SEVERE LAWSUITS FILED IF ANOTHER PASSENGER, MY CHILD, OR MYSELF CANNOT GET INTO A VEHICLE, OR UNEXPECTEDLY FALLS OUT. BELOW ARE LINKS TO A NISSAN TITAN ONLINE FORUM WITH MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. FROZEN DOOR LATCH PROBLEM NOT SOLVED...PLEASE ADVISE WINTER PROBLEMS WITH TITAN FROM USA FROZEN DOOR HANDLES FROZEN DOORS WONT CLOSE WHEN COLD!! NISSAN NEW TSB FOR THE FROZEN DOOR HANDLES! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN FROM WORK WHEN COMING UP TO A STOP LEAVING THE LONG DRIVEWAY TO ENTER THE MAIN RD I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND BEGAN VIBRATING AND MAKING A GRINDING NOISE LIKE WHEN YOU STEP ON THE PEDAL VERY HARD AND THE ABS COMES ON, EXCEPT THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE. THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP. I FLEW THROUGH THE STOP SIGN IN FRONT OF OTHER COWORKERS LEAVING A BUILDING TO THE NORTH. THE ROAD ONLY WENT LEFT AND RIGHT SO I COULD NOT MAKE THE TURN SO I HAD NO OPTIONS AND WENT ACROSS THE ROAD, HIT THE CURB, WENT INTO A FIELD WHERE A MESQUITE TREE STOPPED ME. I PUT THE TRUCK INTO PARK AND SHUT IT OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED IT THE BRAKES ARE BACK AND WORKING LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I LEFT THE TRUCK THERE AND WENT HOME TO BEGIN MY NORMAL GOOGLE SEARCHES AND WHAT'S THE CAUSE AND HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM MYSELF. I'VE FOUND HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE. THE MOST RECENT NOTES ARE OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT NISSAN HAS AGREED TO PAY BECAUSE OF FAULTY PARTS THAT CAUSE THEIR VEHICLES NOT TO STOP. THEY WHERE QUOTED THAT THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL UNLESS ORDERED TO DO SO IN NUMEROUS NEWS ARTICLES. PLEASE PROCESS THIS RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE GETS HURT OR KILLED. PLEASE HELP. *TR
