ENGINE
WAS TOLD DURING YEARLY STATE VEHICLE INSPECTION THAT IT WOULD NOT PASS DUE TO CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE. I WAS 19 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT ALMOST 23,000 MILES UNDER. THIS IS A PLEASURE USE TRUCK THAT AVERAGES ROUGHLY 7000 MILES PER YEAR AND SOMETIMES ISN'T DRIVEN FOR WEEKS. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. SOUGHT ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN AMERICA BUT WAS DECLINED WITHOUT EXPLANATION. IT'S CLEAR THAT BOTH DID NOT CRACK AFTER THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE WARRANTY. IT IS ALSO CLEAR, BASED ON ONLY A FEW MINUTES OF INTERNET RESEARCH, THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD AND WELL PUBLISHED PROBLEM. THE FACT THAT IT WON'T PASS A STATE INSPECTION SPEAKS TO THE DANGER OF SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY DUE TO EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CABIN. WHY HAVE YOU NOT FORCED A RECALL? THE MANIFOLDS BEING REPLACED HAVE NO DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS TO PREVENT FUTURE FAILURES. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO CORRECT THEIR DESIGN ISSUES. REPLACING FAILED PARTS WITH IDENTICAL PARTS, THAT ARE SURE TO FAIL, IS NOTHING MORE THAN RETALIATION FOR BEING FORCED TO HONOR ANY SORT OF WARRANTY AND A "GOTCHA" TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD WHEN I FELT AN ODD VIBRATION COMING FROM UNDER MY FEET. PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY TO SEE THAT MY AXLE SHAFT HAS PULLED OUT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE HOME I RESEARCHED ONLINE TO FIND HUNDREDS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL ON THESE TRUCKS IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE A SAFETY ISSUE UNTIL THEY DECIDE TO RECALL THE PROBLEM. NISSAN DEFINITELY KNOWS THIS DIFFERENTIAL IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THE ENGINE. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET INJURED! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
AFTER DRIVING FOR 20 MINUTES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL PREVIOUSLY ON AND SET AND STILL ON BUT NOT ACTIVATED, I MOMENTARILY APPLIED THE BRAKES AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH THEN LIFTED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT THAT HAD RETURNED GREEN THE TRUCK BEGAN TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WITHOUT MY ASSISTANCE OF APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. QUICKLY RECOGNIZING THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION SITUATION I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES AND WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN A PHOTO OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAPTURING VEHICLE OPERATING CONDITIONS DURING THE INCIDENT. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD RESULT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. VEHICLE INFORMATION SHOULD BE DOWNLOADED FROM ONBOARD COMPUTERS RIGHT AWAY. PLEASE IDENTIFY WHERE THE DOWNLOAD SHOULD TAKE PLACE. *TR

TIRES
I BOUGHT A NISSAN TITAN 2008 6 WEEKS AGO THAT HAD 5 BRAND NEW GOOD YEAR TITAN TIRES PUT ON AT PURCHASE; 4 ON THE TRUCK ONE ON THE SPARE. WITHIN 3 DAYS OF EACH OTHER 2 WENT FLAT. THE FIRST WAS RULED AS A FACTORY DEFECT BY THE TIRE REPAIR SHOP. THE SECOND THE SHOP WAS NOT SURE, IT HAD A HOLE IN THE TREAD AREA BUT HAD NO NAIL OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF PUNCTURE. ANYWAY HE RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERS SHIP TO GET THE TIRES ADJUSTED AND REPLACED. THEY REFUSED TO DO SO AND NOT KNOWING THAT I USE TO WORK ON TIRES MYSELF PROCEEDED TO BLAME ME FOR THE FLATS. I INFORMED THE MAN HE WAS WRONG AND HE SAID I COULD TAKE IT TO A GOOD YEAR SERVICE CENTER FOR A SECOND OPINION; WHICH I DID. GOOD YEAR SAID THE SAME THING AS THE ORIGINAL TIRE GUY, "FACTORY DEFECT" HE ALSO STATED I HAD "P" RATED TIRES ON MY TITAN AND IN HIS OPINION I SHOULD HAVE "LT" RATED TIRES ON MY TRUCK. THESE FLATS OCCURRED WITH MY TRUCK SETTING IN THE DRIVEWAY THANK GOD. THE DEALERSHIP WAS COUNTRY FORD OF SOUTHAVEN MS. THE MAN WHO LIED TO ME AND ACCUSED ME OF BEING AT FAULT WAS NAMED [XXX]. THE GOOD YEAR MAN SAID WHEN HE SPOKE TO THEM HE WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER GUY THAT THEY WOULDN'T RESOLVED THE TIRE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY HAD 4 MONTHS OF ADJUSTMENTS THEY HAD NOT BEEN PAID FOR YET. THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM; NOW SINCE THEY ARE THE ONES WHO PUT THE P RATED CAR TIRES ON MY TRUCK; AND NOT LT RATED TRUCK TIRES THEY HAVE PUT ME AND ANYONE ELSE RIDING WITH ME AS WELL AS ANYONE DRIVING NEAR ME IN DANGER. I HAD TWO FLATS IN 3 DAYS ON TIRES THAT HAVE LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON THEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE OBVIOUSLY A FLAWED DESIGN THAT CAUSES UNDUE MAINTENANCE AND POLLUTION. I HAVE HAD THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS LATER. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS POOR AND UNSAFE DESIGN AND BE LIABLE FOR REPLACEMENT AFTER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY LAPSES. OR THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE MANIFOLDS WITH A DESIGN THAT DOESN'T CAUSES CRACKING. *TR

MY REAR END ON MY TITAN BEGAN GRINDING WHEN TURNING. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A DEFECT ON THE FIRST MODELS OF THE TITAN AND NISSAN WILL NOT REPORT A RECALL ON THEM. IF THESE REAR ENDS LOCK UP WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR WHILE TOWING A TRAILER, PEOPLE'S LIVES COULD BE LOST. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS AFFECTED SUCH A VAST POPULATION OF TITAN OWNERS. FURTHERMORE, NISSAN ONLY OFFERS A FULL REAR END REPLACEMENT AT THE LOW PRICE OF $2,500. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS! A RECALL MUST BE ISSUED BEFORE MORE LIVES ARE PUT INTO JEOPARDY. *TR
