POWER TRAIN
I HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AT WORK INTO TRAFFIC.I HEARD A LOUD POP AND MY REAR END STARTED HAVING LARGE BANGS AND I LOST ALMOST ALL POWER. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY MULTIPLE CARS. I MANAGED TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND CALL TO HAVE IT TOWED. THANKFULLY I HAD 400 MILES LEFT ON MY WARRANTY COVERED THE ENTIRE NEW REAR AXLE THAT WAS REQUIRED.. THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE!!! MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL IS ALSO SLOWLY GOING OUT BUT ISN'T BAD ENOUGH FOR THE WARRANTY TO COVER IT. *TR

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

POWER TRAIN
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

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

SERVICE BRAKES
ATTEMPTED TO STOP WHILE TRAVELING DOWN PARKING GARAGE RAMP. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE AUDIBLE SOUND OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) PUMP CYCLING. AT THIS POINT THERE WAS NO BRAKING POWER. PEDAL WAS LIFTED AND BRAKES WHERE APPLIED AGAIN. AGAIN, THE PEDAL DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND THE AUDIBLE ABS PUMP COULD BE HEARD.

DRIVER CONTINUED INTO A CONCRETE COLUMN AT APPROXIMATELY 15 - 20 MPH AND CRASHED. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED FROM SCENE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING, RED "BRAKE" DASH WARNING LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON. TRUCK'S BRAKES THEN HAD LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY & WERE HARD TO USE. THEY PUSHED A WAYS DOWN, HAD CRUMMY STOPPING POWER, MADE GRINDING NOISES, AND A VIBRATION WHEN TRYING TO USE THEM. I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY STOP. I SHUT OFF TRUCK AND RESTARTED IT. THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND BRAKES ACT NORMALLY. AFTER BRAKING AGAIN A SHORT TIME LATER, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. I ONCE AGAIN WAS ABLE TO RESET THE LIGHT BY SHUTTING OFF THE TRUCK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS IT JUST SUDDENLY HAPPENS AND YOUR BRAKING ABILITY GOES TO "POOP" WHEN DRIVING. AFTER THIS HAPPENED TO ME, I SEE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON-LINE IN VARIOUS FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY NISSAN OR A GOVERNMENT RECALL. THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY FIXED THE BRAKE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. HOWEVER, A WEEK LATER, THE CONSUMERS NEPHEW WAS DRIVING WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN, AND HE DROVE INTO A DITCH. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY CLAIMED THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW PUMP/DELTA STOKE SENSOR. UPDATED 02/23/15

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
AT 55,000 MILES THE REAR AXLE SEALS FAILED ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE SEAL FAILURE CAUSED A LEAK WHICH SATURATED THE REAR BRAKE APPARATUS AND REDUCED ITS HOLDING ABILITY. I REPORTED THIS TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT AN UPGRADED REAR AXLE WAS INSTALLED TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PREMATURE SEAL FAILURE. AT 138,000 MILES THE REAR AXLE SEALS HAVE FAILED AGAIN DESPITE REGULAR FLUID CHANGES, AND THE REAR BRAKE APPARATUS IS ONCE AGAIN SOILED WITH GEAR LUBE. I BELIEVE THIS CONSTITUTES A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS A RECALL. THE DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY AND STATES THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD FAILURE ON THE NISSAN TITAN AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER TITAN OWNERS IN THE U.S. WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW THE FUEL GAUGE HAS NEVER SHOWN THE CORRECT READING ON THE FUEL IN THE TANK. IT WILL NEVER REGISTER "FULL" AND WILL RUN OUT OF GAS WHEN IT STILL SHOWS 1/8 OF A TANK LEFT. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE GAUGE WITH ANOTHER ONE JUST LIKE IT THAT ALSO DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. *TR

ENGINE, WHEELS, SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE SAME PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE WITH CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS STARTING AROUND 65000 MILES. EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE SO I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LISTEN TO A HORRIBLE EXHAUST LEAKS. NEXT IS THE REAR AXLE SEALS FIRST AROUND 65000.REPLACED 2X. AFTER TALKING TO NISSAN TECH WHO IS A FRIEND APPARENTLY ITS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THE AXLE TUBES TEND TO WARP CAUSING A LEAK ALL OVER TIRES N BRAKES AND EVENTUAL FAILURE OF GEARS INREAR PUMPKIN IF NOT CAUGHT. JUST WAITING FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM. EVERY 7000 BRAKES N ROTORS R SHOT AND NEED REPLACING. PEDAL ALWAYS HAS A MUSHY FEEL WHEN U OCCASIONALLY NEED TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE. GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR EVEN WHEN BRAKES R GOOD. *TR

I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A LEAK IN THE ROOF. I ALWAYS NOTICED A DAMP MUSTY SMELL AFTER IT RAINED BUT NEVER FOUND ANYTHING OTHER THAN REAR SLIDING WINDOW WAS DAMP UNTIL AFTER A HEAVY RAIN I MADE A SHARP LEFT AND CAUGHT OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE WATER FLYING OUT OF THE SLIDING WINDOW TRACK. I'VE TRIED LOOKING TO SEE WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM BUT CAN'T FIND THE EXACT LOCATION. LET ME POINT OUT I NEVER USE THE REAR WINDOW. AFTER MONTHS AND YRS OF FRUSTRATION I SILICONED THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW AND TOOK OFF BRAKE LIGHT AND DID THAT TOO BUT STILL GETTING WATER. I'VE READ ONLINE ITS VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NO REMEDY YET. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NHTSA RECALL 10V074000. (NISSAN). THE RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO 2004 MODEL TITANS. CURIOUSLY IT APPLIES TO THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL FOR YEARS 2005-2009. IN MY CASE THE FUEL GAUGE NEVER WORKED WELL (PURCHASED NEW) BUT AT LEAST THE LOW FUEL WARNING GAUGE LIGHT CAME ON. ON OCTOBER 21, 2014 THE GAUGE COMPLETELY MALFUNCTIONED. IT STUCK AT APPROXIMATELY 1/3 OF A TANK AND THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS (NO LIGHT INDICATOR) WITHOUT WARNING. AT 70 MPH ON A TOLLWAY, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. GIVEN THE SIGNIFICANT RISK TO DRIVER HEALTH AND SAFETY POSED BY THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION (WHICH WAS CURIOUSLY ADDRESSED FOR 2005 AND THEREAFTER) AND THE EXTREME RISK OF CRASH THAT IT CAUSES, THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED AND NOT EXCLUDE THE FIRST MODEL YEAR OF THIS CAR. WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL AT 70MPH, I WAS LUCKY ON THIS OCCASION. OTHERS MAY WELL NOT BE. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL BECAME MUSHY. BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON. COASTED TO A STOP, TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED. LIGHTS WENT OFF AND BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY AGAIN. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY THE SIXTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS TRUCK. BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE NEW. IT FIRST BEGAN HAPPENING APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AGO. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NISSAN SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THIS ISSUE, WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF SINCE 2004. *TR
