ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DURING A ROAD TRIP FROM FL TO NY, I NOTICED A FAINT RATTLE UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK BUT DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. DURING THAT TRIP, I NOTICED MY TAILPIPE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE IT WAS POSITIONED PROPERLY. IT WAS LOOSE! THE MUFFLER TO TAILPIPE MOUNTING FLANGE HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY FROM, WHICH IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM (REFERENCE BLOGS; TITANSPOT, TITANTALK, CLUBTITAN). I THREW THE TAILPIPE IN THE BED AND KEPT DRIVING. THROUGHOUT THAT WEEKEND, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. ON OUR RETURN TRIP FROM NY TO FL THE VDC OFF, SLIP AND ABS LIGHTS SUDDENLY CAME ON WITH ABOUT 100 MILES LEFT IN THE TRIP. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACTIVATE CRUISE CONTROL AND 4WD WOULDN'T ENGAGE EITHER. BROUGHT TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN CORAL SPRINGS, FL FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE WARRANTY SERVICE, CONSIDERING I HAD THE GOLD PREFERRED NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS INFORMED THAT EXHAUST COMPONENTS WERE NOT COVERED, AND SINCE THE 'NON' COVERED COMPONENTS CAUSED ELECTRICAL & SENSOR FAILURES, THEY WOULDN'T WARRANTY ANY OF THOSE COMPONENTS EITHER. THE HEAT DAMAGED THE PLASTIC CONDUIT, WIRES IN THE HARNESS AND THE ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSORS (AND ASSOCIATED WIRING). NOT TO MENTION, DANGEROUS EXHAUST GASES CAN ACCUMULATE UNDER THE CAB & BED OF THE TRUCK WITHOUT A PROPER MEANS OF EXHAUST ROUTING. THIS IS THE THIRD TITAN I HAVE OWNED. ALL 3 (2005, 2006, & 2010) HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME FAILURE AT THAT EXHAUST FLANGE. THIS VEHICLE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT EXPERIENCED CORRESPONDING ELECTRICAL & SENSOR FAILURES. NISSAN MUST ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS FLANGE CONNECTION DESIGN AND MATERIALS. IT IS A POOR DESIGN (WHEN IT FAILS, EXHAUST GASES ARE POINTED UPWARD AT THE TRUCK BED AND SENSITIVE ELECTRICAL WIRING). FOR NISSAN TO IGNORE THIS DEFECT IS UNACCEPTABLE. A STRAIGHT CONNECTION, OR BETTER FLANGE MATERIALS WOULD GO A LONG WAY IN RECTIFYING THIS RECURRING PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN TRYING TO BACKUP THE TRUCK THE COLUMN GEAR SHIFTER MOVED INTO REVERSE BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL MOVING FORWARD. FORTUNATELY I DIDN'T RUN OVER ANYONE BUT IT COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED IN A BUSY PARKING LOT. THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS MOVING UP AND DOWN INTO EVERY POSITION BUT IT WAS CONTINUOUSLY ENGAGED IN DRIVE. I DROVE HOME AND PARKED. THE SHIFTER IS STILL MOVING UP AND DOWN; THE GEAR INDICATOR SHOWS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS IN "D" - DRIVE BUT THE VEHICLE IS ROLLING AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND CAN'T BE STARTED. THERE IS A NISSAN RECALL NO. RU403 BUT NISSAN SAYS MY TRUCK IS NOT AFFECTED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS RIDING DOWN I25 WHEN MY TRUCK ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY QUIT. AT 75 MPH IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO CHANGE LANES AND PULL OVER TO THE MEDIAN WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED THAT I STILL HAD 1/4 TANK OF GAS. I TRIED REPEATEDLY TO START THE TRUCK WITHOUT SUCCESS. AFTER SCRATCHING MY HEAD FOR A WHILE I CALLED MY SON TO BRING ME SOME GAS. AFTER ADDING GAS THE TRUCK STARTED UP AFTER A FEW TURNS OF THE IGNITION. NOT KNOWING WHAT THE HECK HAD HAPPENED I CONTINUED DRIVING THE TRUCK. UNFORTUNATELY I RAN OUT OF GAS AGAIN SOME WEEK LATER, THIS TIME IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THE SPEED ISSUE WAS NOT QUITE AS SEVERE. SINCE THAT TIME I'VE IGNORED MY FUEL GAUGE AND DETERMINED WHEN TO REFUEL BY MILEAGE. THIS IS REALLY AGGRAVATING BECAUSE THERE IS A RECALL ON TITAN FUEL SENDERS FOR MODEL YEAR 2005. HOWEVER NISSAN IS TELLING ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES BROKE AND SPRAYED TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL OVER. ENGINE WOULD BARELY TRANSFER POWER TO TRANSMISSION CAUSING VEHICLE TO BARELY BE DRIVEABLE. AFTER BEING TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, NOT ONLY THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT ALSO THE RADIATOR HOSES AND THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING LINE. NEITHER OF THOSE TO MY KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO BE FIXED WHEN BROUGHT IN BUT WAS TOLD THEY WERE CRACKED OR SLOWLY LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER 2 WEEKS AND 1500 DOLLARS LATER I FINALLY HAVE MY TRUCK BACK. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH TRANSMISSION DROPS OUT OF GEAR AND TRUCK ENGINE NEARLY RED LINES. WAS UNABLE TO GET COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD. AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW MINUTES WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE TRUCK A FEW FEET TO GET COMPLETELY OUT OF TRAFFIC. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT I HAD AN INTERMIX OF COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THEY SEE AND THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 80,000 MILES BUT I AM NOT COVERED. THEY QUOTED ME $8700 TO REPAIR. SPOKE TO A FEW TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND THEY ALL INDICATED THAT THEY ENCOURAGE THEIR NISSAN CLIENTS TO BYPASS THE INTERNAL TRANNY COOLER IN THE RADIATOR WITH AN EXTERNAL ON WHEN THEY REACH 80,000 MILES. THEY SAID THE COST TO DO THIS IS LESS THAN $300.00. NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS AND EVEN LOST A CLASS ACTION SUIT BUT HAS NEVER INFORMED ANYONE. FOR A $300 FIX I AM NOW OUT A TRUCK AND OR $9000.00!!!! WAY TO GO NISSAN!! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. A FEW DAYS LATER A LOUD GRINDING NOISE IN THE FRONT END. TOOK THE 2006 TITAN TO SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD NEEDED TOTAL FRONT END BRAKE JOB. THE BRAKE PADS WENT THRU THE ROTORS. A FEW MONTHS LATER THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRUCK FOR SOMETHING ELSE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. TWO TO THREE MONTHS AFTER I JUST HAD IT DONE. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I JUST HAD IT DONE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I ASKED TO SEE THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD NOT LET ME IN TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM MYSELF. THEY JUST NOTED THAT I REFUSED SERVICE. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE SERVICE STATION THAT DID THE WORK (BECAUSE THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED). THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AT THAT TIME LIKE THE DEALER TOLD ME. NOW 8/21/2014 AT 53000 MILES THE FRONT END BRAKE SYSTEM IS GONE AGAIN. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. I HAD TO GO OFF THE ROAD SO I DID NOT HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I OWNED 6 NISSANS AND NEVER HAS THIS KIND OF PROBLEM BEFORE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN IS WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE TRUCK DOES NOT STOP BECAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM KICKS IN AND DOES NOT LET THE TRUCK STOP SUDDENLY WHEN NEEDED. AS OF RIGHT NOW I CAN NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO GET THE BRAKE SYSTEM REPAIRED AGAIN. THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. WAKE UP NISSAN. DO NOT LET SOMEONE DIE BECAUSE OF DEFECTS. *TR

WHEELS, STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
BACK IN MAY OF 2011 I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN TITAN TRUCK DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY TWO GIRLS 6 & 7 YEAR OLD WHEN I HEARD THE TRUCK MAKING A NOISE OUT OF THE REAR .I SLOW DOWN AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD NOT KNOWING WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO MY HOME AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I TOOK MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN VINELAND NEW JERSEY THEY STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK WAS THE REAR AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY STATED THAT THE REPAIR COST FOR THE WHOLE REAR WAS $3,800 IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED. THEY STATED THAT MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 2 MONTHS EVEN THOUGH I ONLY HAD 38,836 MILES ON IT. I ASKED WHY COULDN'T THE PUMPKIN IN THE REAR BE FIXED AND NISSAN STATED THEY DO NOT JUST FIX THE PUMPKIN. THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR IN THE TRUCK COSTING ME $3,800.00. I CALLED [XXX] AND SPOKE TO [XXX]. [XXX] REP STATED THAT HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, PART (TT913A582) [XXX] POSI. [XXX] STATED TO ME THAT THEY MAKE THIS REAR FOR NISSAN. [XXX] STATED THAT NISSAN ENGINEERS, ENGINEER PART AND THEY ONLY MAKE IT FOR THEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL SHOP TO BE REPAIRED WHICH STATED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD COST ME $1,358.90. THE AUTO REPAIR CENTER THAT I TOOK MY NISSAN TITIAN TO, STATED THAT THERE WAS MANY MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE REARS IN THE NISSAN TITANS STARTING FROM 2005 TO 2010. IT WAS ACTUALLY BEING REPORTED ONLINE SEARCH. AS I LOOKED ONLINE I COULD SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE NISSAN TITAN REARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SO MY QUESTION TO THE GOVERNMENT SUPERVISOR PAID BY TAXPAYERS, DOES IT TAKE 30 PEOPLE TO DIE IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND BLAME IT ON NISSAN JUST LIKE YOU DID TO GM. FIX THE PROBLEM. SO GO ONLINE AND READ. TAKE MATTERS SERIOUSLY!! I EXTRICATE PEOPLE OUT OF VEHICLES FOR A LIVING WHEN THEY ARE IN CAR ACCIDENTS DEAD OR ALIVE.

POWER TRAIN
LAST WEEK, I DROVE 6 HOURS TO START VACATION WITH MY FAMILY, AUGUST 2014, WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY NISSAN TRUCK WOULD INTERMITTENTLY START TO SHAKE SLIGHTLY AND ALSO MADE A NOISE LIKE A "JAKE BRAKE" DOES ON A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK. THIS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS EITHER DRIVING 20 MPH UP TO 65 MPH. I ARRIVED AT MY VACATION LOCATION 6 HOURS FROM MY HOME AND TOOK MY NISSAN TITAN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FIRST THING THE NEXT MORNING. AFTER THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED MY PROBLEM, THE SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME AND SAID MY REAR END DIFFERENTIAL WAS GOING OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN, I KNEW I HAD A PROBLEM AND COULD NOT DRIVE MY TRUCK BACK HOME UNTIL THIS WAS REPAIRED. SINCE CAR DEALERSHIPS DO NOT REPAIR CAR PARTS ANYMORE THESE DAYS, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL WOULD COST $3,200.00 PLUS LABOR. THE TOTAL REPAIR CAME TO $3900.00. OUCH! IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP 5 DAYS TO GET THE NEW REAR END DIFFERENTIAL DELIVERED FROM A NISSAN PARTS HOUSE IN THE NORTHEASTERN US AND REPLACED SINCE THEY DID NOT HAVE IT LOCALLY. MY ISSUE IS THIS.....I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT HAD TO HAVE THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED AT 79,000 MILES, NOR HAVE ANY OF MY FRIENDS HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM EITHER! I EVEN CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY DID NOT OFFER ME ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE EITHER WHICH TELLS ME THEY DON'T REALLY STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT!!! I UNDERSTAND IF IT WERE A WATER PUMP, RADIATOR, BRAKES, TIRES, ETC. BUT NOT A MAJOR COMPONENT THAT SHOULD NOT GO BAD AT 79,000 MILES. ONE MORE THING IN CLOSING, I HAVE NEVER USED A TRAILER TO HAUL ANYTHING EITHER WITH MY NISSAN TITAN PICK UP TRUCK. *TR

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS MY COROLLA IS 21 YEARS OLD AND HAS 191000 MILES, HAVE NEVER HAD ANY AIR BAG ISSUE. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.

POWER TRAIN
THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM ON THE NISSAN TITAN IS INADEQUATE OR POORLY DESIGNED. MY TRUCK HAS HAD THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED TWICE IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS, WITH MINIMAL USAGE OF THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM, AND UNDER APPROPRIATE CONDITIONS. GRINDING NOISES HAS BEEN FELT AND HEARD FROM THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WHEN ENGAGING INTO 4HI, WHICH IS CAPABLE OF BEING SHIFTED ON THE FLY. WHEN ENGAGING INTO 4HI AND EXPERIENCING NOISES SUCH AS THIS WHILE ALREADY MOVING AT SPEED- 20-30MPH, IT IS RATHER UNSETTLING. TO THE AVERAGE CONSUMER WHO IS NOT A MECHANIC (WHICH I AM) THIS IS PROBABLY EVEN MORE FRIGHTENING TO EXPERIENCE. THE DIFFERENTIAL INSTALLED IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR WAS A REVISED VERSION, TO HAVE SUPPOSEDLY CORRECT ISSUES WHICH MANY TITANS HAVE FACED IN EARLIER PRODUCTION YEARS. THIS DIFFERENTIAL FAILED WITHIN 3 MONTHS. THE TRUCK WAS JUST FIXED LAST WEEK WITH ANOTHER REVISED DIFFERENTIAL, WE'LL SEE HOW LONG THIS ONE LASTS. AFTERMARKET WARRANTY AND DEALER PARTS WARRANTY HAVE COVERED ALL REPAIRS ASIDE FROM A DEDUCTIBLE, HOWEVER SOMEONE NOT WITH THIS WARRANTY WOULD HAVE FACED REPAIRS IN THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS RANGE. WITH MISS-USE I CAN UNDERSTAND PATS FAILING, HOWEVER THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. *TR

EXHAUST FUMES IN CABIN DUE TO CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. I ONLY USE THE TRUCK FOR FAMILY TRIPS, AND ON THE LAST TRIP I NOTICES A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE, ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD, I ALSO NOTICED EXHAUST FUMES IN THE CABIN WHEN THE TRUCK WAS AT A LIGHT OR A LONG STOP SIGN. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THIS TRUCK AND AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN TITANS BUT THE WORST PART IS THAT THE REPLACEMENTS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, SO NOW I CAN NOT USE THIS VEHICLE. LOOKING TO SEE WHAT IS THE BEST PERMANENT SOLUTION. *TR
