STRUCTURE:BODY
THERE SEEMS TO BE A PAINT DEFECT ON MY NISSAN TITAN ON THE HOOD AND ROOF. I HAVE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER SINCE 2009 BUT THEY DENY ANY BLAME. I NOW NOTICE THE EXACT SIMILAR PATTERN DEFECT IN MULTIPLE TITANS. THE CLEAR COAT IS WORN AWAY ALMOST DOWN TO THE METAL. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN BUT THEY SAY UNLESS THERE ARE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS THEY DO NOT HAVE TO ADDRESS IT. I REALIZE THIS IS NOT LIFE THREATENING, BUT I WANTED TO LODGE A FORMAL COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT IS A DEFECT THAT WILL AFFECT ME WHEN I GO TO TRADE IT IN AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT I NOTICE WITH MOST OTHER TITAN OWNERS OF TRUCKS THIS AGE. *TR

TIRES
WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY HOME FROM WORK AND IN A SPLIT SECOND THE BACK END OF THE TRUCK STARTED BOUNCING AND BECAME HARD TO STEER. I SLOWED DOWN AND WAS GETTING READY TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER WHEN A BIG CHUNK OF MY TIRE SEPARATED AND CAME FLYING OFF OVER MY TRUCK HITTING THE CAR BESIDE ME. I SLOWED DOWN EVEN MORE AND PULLED OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY, ( ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN LESS THAN 1 MILE) WHEN I GOT OUT I WAS SO UPSET WHEN I DISCOVERED THE DAMAGE THE SEPARATION OF THE DEFECTIVE TIRE HAD CAUSED TO MY TRUCK AND THE CAR OF A VERY IRATE DRIVER THESE TIRES DID NOT HAVE MORE THAN 20,000 MILES ON THEM. THE TIRE TOTALLY WRECKED MY UNDERCARRIAGE, INCLUDING THE RODS, SUPPORTS AND LINER FOR THE WHEEL WELL, PLUS THE WHEEL WELL, REAR QUARTER PANEL AND BUMPER. THERE ARE ALSO DAMAGES TO THE FRONT QUARTER PANEL OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE A $1000.00 DEDUCTIBLE AND NOW AM UNABLE TO AFFORD REPAIRS OR TIRES, I NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK AND NEED COOPER TIRES TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES AND DEFECTIVE TIRES PLEASE. *JS

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE NISSAN TITAN BUTTON ON THE SHIFT LEVER THAT SHIFTS MANUALLY, AFTER MANUAL SHIFT IS TURNED ON, STOPPED WORKING. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS PULLING A TRAILER COMING DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAINS. THIS LEFT MY TRANSMISSION IN 4TH GEAR AND WAS NOT ABLE TO USE THE COMPRESSION TO HELP SLOW ME DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK BACK INTO NORMAL AUTOMATIC MODE AND I HAD TO RIDE MY BREAKS DOWN THE MOUNTAIN TO A FLAT AREA AND SWAP VEHICLES TO TOW THE TRAILER. AFTER THIS INCIDENT I FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON AND IS SPECIFICALLY CAUSED BY NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE. MEANING USING THE SHIFT LEVER TO PULL THE TUCK OUT OF PARK AND BACK INTO PARK. THIS MOTION STARTS BREAKING THE WIRING ON THE CONTROLLER. NISSAN STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ON RECORD OF THIS BEING A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I FIRST FELT AND HEARD A LOUD CLANKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT. APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS LATER I FELT IT AGAIN WHILE ENTERING THE ON RAMP TO A FREEWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE REAR END OF MY TRUCK AND FOUND NO VISIBLE DAMAGE OR LEAKING OF FLUIDS. I GOT BACK IN MY TRUCK AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND IMMEDIATELY FELT AND HEARD THE CLANKING NOISE AGAIN. I THEN DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHICH FORTUNATELY WAS ONLY TWO MILES AWAY. THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID AN INSPECTION AND DETERMINE THE GEARS IN DIFFERENTIAL WERE BINDING. THE NISSAN TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHY A DIFFERENTIAL WITH ONLY 53,000 MILES THAT WAS MAINTAINED AS WELL AS MINE WAS WOULD FAIL. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS PERFORMED ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON MY TRUCK AND ARE WELL AWARE OF HOW WELL ITS MAINTAINED. THEY SUGGESTED ITS A DEFECT AND RECOMMENDED I SPEAK WITH NISSAN USA DIRECTLY IN HOPES OF THEM COVERING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE DIFFERENTIAL ON MY TRUCK. I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM NISSAN USA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE DEFECTIVE DIFFERENTIAL ITS NOT GOING TO BE COVERED. THE WORST PART IS THAT THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE DIFFERENTIAL. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR AXLE. THIS IS A COST OF (AXLE) $3500.00 +( LABOR) $1000.00. LETS NOT FORGET TAXES ALSO. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE DEFECTIVE DIFFERENTIALS AND IS COUNTING ON PEOPLE TO NOT MAKE THE EFFORT TO BRING THIS ISSUE TO LIGHT. PLEASE HELP MAKE A CHANGE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT BY THIS DEFECT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
VEHICLE WOULD START TO MAKE LOUD NOISE WHEN BRAKING, AND THEN BRAKES WOULD STOP WORKING ALTOGETHER. THE FIRST FEW INCIDENTS IN THE PAST YEAR BECAUSE WE WERE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED WE COULD COAST TO A STOP. TURN OFF ENGINE, AND THEN TURN BACK ON. PROBLEM WENT AWAY UNTIL NEXT INCIDENT. WE JUST COMPLETED A FACTORY REPAIR COSTING JUST UNDER $1400 AND IT WAS TO REPLACE A MECHANISM THAT WAS FAILING TO DELIVER THE SIGNAL, OR FLUID (I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS VERY WELL ENOUGH TECHNICALLY) TO MAKE THE BRAKES STOP. THE PARTS WERE OVER $600 AND LABOR ALSO OVER $600. WHILE VEHICLE IS 10 YEARS OLD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT ISSUE AND NOT WEAR AND TEAR. I'VE READ THAT THIS IS A REPORTED ISSUE WITH NHTSB SO I WANTED TO FILE ALSO. *TR

I STARTED TO FEEL A THUD IN THE REAR AXLE AS I TURNED THE VEHICLE. IF FELT LIKE THE AXLE WAS BINDING UP. ULTIMATELY, I TOOK IT TO NISSAN WHO SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE AXLE FOR $3000. SINCE THIS WAS WAY TO EXPENSIVE FOR A KNOW DEFECT, I HAD THE LOCKER REPLACED AT FOUR WHEEL PARTS. IT COST NEARLY $2500 WHEN ALL SAID AND DONE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
STARTED HAVING OVER HEATING ISSUES IN 8/2012. EVENTUALLY HAD RADIATOR COMPLETELY REPLACED IN 2/14. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AROUND SAME TIME. ON 3/26/14, I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65MPH WHEN I LOST USE OF THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL, BARELY AVOIDING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. TODAY FOUND OUT THERE IS A DEFECT WITH NISSAN RADIATORS OVER HEATING AND CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION, DETERIORATING THE GEARS OVER TIME. SPENT AROUND $1,000.00 GETTING THE RADIATOR REPLACED UNAWARE OF THIS FACTORY DEFECT. NOW I AM WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING VEHICLE AND I THINK LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. *TR
