POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
DEVELOPED A VIBRATION IN THE REAR END, THEN NOTICED LEAKING OIL AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AXLE. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW REAR END ASSEMBLY TO THE TUNE OF $5600. SAID THEY HAD A "BULLETIN" REGARDING THIS ISSUE! WHAT GIVES WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL? *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
TRAVELING AT 10 MPH THE VEHICLE WENT DEAD. NO BRAKES, STEERING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO RUN IT ALONG A CURB TO STOP IT. DUE TO A CRACK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOTH O2 SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE MASS AIR SENSOR. RUNNING UP A BILL OF $ 1700.00. ALL DUE TO MANUFACTURES POOR ASSEMBLY. *TR

WHEELS, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, TIRES
MY TPM WARNING LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS HAS HAPPENED FROM DAY ONE. THE ELEVATION AND OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE HAVE NO BEARING ON WHETHER OR NOT THE LIGHT FUNCTIONS PROPERLY. I HAVE NITROGEN FILLED TIRES. THE DEALER SHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM AND DON'T BRING THE TRUCK BACK. THIS IS A NEW 2013 TITAN. THE DEALER SHIP SAID IT WAS A NISSAN PROBLEM. I AM CONSTANTLY PULLING OVER TO CHECK MY TIRE AIR PRESSURE. THIS MAKES LONG TRIPS DIFFICULT AND SCARES MY WIFE WHEN EVER SHE DRIVES IT. NISSAN SAYS TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A BRAKE / ABS PROBLEM WITH MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AS I WAS DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND AS I ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THE BRAKES UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS, I HAVE ALMOST NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK IN TIME. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE ABS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATING AND BRAKE PEDAL IS FLUCTUATING, VIBRATING AND GRINDING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/17/14 THEY SAID IT WAS A PROGRAMMING ISSUE. I PAID ABOUT $100 FOR THEM TO UPLOAD A NEW PROGRAM. THEY TOLD ME THE NEW PROGRAM DIDN'T TAKE AND THEN TOLD ME THE DELTA SENSOR IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS MOST LIKELY THE ISSUE. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE ENTIRE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY MUST BE PURCHASED SINCE THEY DON'T SELL THE DELTA SENSOR SEPARATELY, AND THE COST IS $950 TO REPLACE. I CALLED AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THE NEXT DAY 7/18/14. TODAY 7/24/14, I FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS LETTING ME KNOW THAT THEY WERE UNWILLING TO HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE IT' OUT OF WARRANTY, NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WILL NOT PURSUE ANY FURTHER ACTION IN REGARDS TO MY CASE & CONSIDERED THE MATTER CLOSED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
SUDDEN BRAKE LOSS WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30MPH. IT HAS OCCURRED BEFORE AND SEEMS TO HAVE INCREASED AFTER A FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT. I'D GUESS 10 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK NOW, I'VE KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE FOR SOME TIME AND WAS READING ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WHICH I BELIEVE ONLY COVERED THE RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA AND THE COMMENTS SUGGESTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT HERE. IT'S THE SAME THING, THE EMERGENCY LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN APPLY BRAKES THERE IS NO PRESSURE AND AN AWFUL GRINDING NOISE. ONCE YOU COME TO A SAFE STOP, TURN OFF AND BACK ON, AND THE PROBLEM IS GONE! PREVIOUSLY, IT HAD BEEN WEEKS AND EVEN MAYBE MONTHS IN BETWEEN BUT NOW IT SEEMS TO HAVE TURNED IN A DAILY TASK. ANY UPDATE ON RECALL OR NATIONWIDE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PULLING A TRAILER WHEN THE ABS & SLIP LIGHTS CAME ON, THEN THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER GETTING TO THE CAMP SITE I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND FOUND THAT THE WIRING HARNESS HAD BURNED AND MELTED FUSING SEVERAL WIRES TOGETHER. THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE NO ELECTRIC BRAKE CONTROL TO MY TRAILER. ALSO SOME FIRE DAMAGE TO THE UNDER FRAME AND OTHER PARTS OF VEHICLE...UPDATED 10/01/14 *BF

SUSPENSION
I HEARD A VERY ABNORMAL CLUNK FROM REAR OF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING WHICH WAS INITIALLY FOLLOWED BY VERY UNSTABLE VEHICLE DYNAMICS (VEHICLE SWAYED HEAVILY FROM SIDE TO SIDE). I INITIALLY THOUGHT I'D INADVERTENTLY HIT AN OBSTACLE OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD BUT AT THE NEXT STOP I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS LEANING HEAVILY ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE (>2" LOWER THAN THE RIGHT). I INSPECTED THE UNDERCARRIAGE BUT COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG SO CHECKED TIRE PRESSURES (ALL FINE AT ~34-36PSI). NOT BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE, I ASSUMED IT WAS JUST THE WAY WE'D LOADED THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED DRIVING (WE WERE MORE THAN 6 HRS FROM HOME). AFTER UNLOADING THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, I REALISED SOMETHING ELSE WAS SERIOUSLY WRONG BECAUSE THE SEVERE LEAN WAS STILL PRESENT. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH FOR "NISSAN TITAN LEANING" LED ME TO CHECK FOR A BROKEN REAR SHACKLE. INSPECTING THE FLOOR OF THE BED WAS ENOUGH CONFIRMATION THAT THE LEFT HAND REAR SHACKLE HAD INDEED BROKEN (HUGE BULGE IN THE FLOOR OF THE BED WHERE THE LEAF SPRING SLAMMED UP INTO THE BODY). NO LESS THAN 26 SEPARATE REPORTS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THE WWW.TITANTALK.COM FORUM ABOUT THE ISSUE (PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTATION AVAILABLE). I WAS LUCKIER THAN SOME WHERE LEAF SPRINGS BROKE THROUGH THE BED FLOOR COMPLETELY (HAVE PHOTOS TO SUPPORT THIS). THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A DEFECT AND INSTEAD QUOTED $480 FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE SINCE CONFIRMED THAT NISSAN REINFORCED THE SHACKLES IN 2008 AND SUPERCEDED THE OLDER DESIGN (DAMNING EVIDENCE IN ITSELF). FOR THE RECORD, THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH MY PREGNANT WIFE, 3 YR OLD SON AND FATHER-IN-LAW AS PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. IT IS DAUNTING TO CONSIDER HOW MANY DRIVERS AND FAMILIES ARE AT RISK AS A RESULT OF NISSAN'S FAILURE TO REPORT THIS TO THE NHTSA. GUESS IT TAKES A FEW DEATHS BEFORE THE LIABILITY EXCEEDS THE RECALL COST. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WE PURCHASED THE NISSAN TITAN NEW IN 2007. THE FIRST REPAIR FOR THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL (AXLE BEARING WAS LEAKING) WAS ON 1/13/2010 34,617 MILES. THE SECOND REPAIR FOR THE SAME ISSUE WAS 3/29/2012 WITH 79,010 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOW AGAIN BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM AT 115,000 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT RECURRING ISSUE EVERY 35 - 40,000 MILES AND IT IS NOW RECOMMENDED THAT A FULL REPLACEMENT OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS NEEDED TO FULLY FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS FROM BOTH A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE SHOULD THE VEHICLE LOCK UP AND THE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOING 75 IN MY 2004 TITAN. ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST ALL POWER AND THE TRUCK WENT DEAD. MY FUEL GAUGE WAS AT A 1/4 TANK SO I THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. FOUND OUT THE NEXT DAY THAT MY TANK WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY AND THE GAUGE WAS WRONG. VERY DANGEROUS!!! *TR

RECENTLY THE LOW RANGE SHIFT HAS STOPPED WORKING. I USE THE LOWER RANGE TO HOLD BACK THE TRAILER THAT I TOW AND I AM UNABLE TO USE IT SO I HAVE TO USE MY BRAKES WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN AUGUST 2009 WITH 16,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ONLY PUT 30,000 MILES ON IT AND EXPECT IT TO PERFORM LONGER. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL HAS A LEAK. THIS LEAK IS CAUSED TO INCREDIBLY POOR VENTILATION OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THE CHECK VALVE ALLOWS WATER INTO THE CASE AND DOES NOT ALLOW FOR PROPER VENTILATION. THIS, IN TURN, CAUSES OVERHEATING AND SEALS TO FAIL. THIS REPAIR HAS HAPPENED ON THIS TRUCK FOR THE SECOND TIME NOW, WITH NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FORM THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
