ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
GOING HOME FROM WORK, WHILE DRIVING EVERY TIME I PUT THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL ON I NOTICED THE LIGHT AT THE DASHBOARD FLASHES SO WEIRD AND THEN DISAPPEAR. I MADE FIVE RIGHT TURNS THAT NIGHT ALL ACTING THE SAME THING. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE GARAGE AND HAD IT CHECKED THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE WIRING INSIDE THE LAMP ASSEMBLY WAS MELTED, THE WIRE WAS TIED WITH PLASTIC STRING WRAP SO TIGHT THAT MADE THE INSULATION OF THE WIRE MELTS AND CREATED A SHORT CIRCUIT. THE WHOLE INSIDE OF THE COMBINATION LAMP ASSEMBLY REAR, RH OF MY TRUCK WAS MELTED. THEY CUT THE PLASTIC STRING WRAP AND THEN PUT SOME ELECTRICAL TAPE ON THE WIRES, THEY HAVE A HARD TIME OF PUTTING THE LAMP ASSEMBLY BACK INTO THE TRUCK AND UNTIL NOW I DID NOT REPLACE THE RH REAR COMBINATION LAMP ASSEMBLY. *TR

TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE AREA ESPECIALLY UNDER MODERATE ACCELERATION, DEALER INSPECTED AND SAID MY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED AND WOULD COST 3K TO FIX . NISSAN CUSTOMER RELATIONS REFUSES TO HELP IN ANY WAY EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK IS ONLY 4000 MILES PAST MILEAGE LIMIT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD (EXHAUST FUMES CAN ENTER CAB) AND NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENITAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTOR WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. THE LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID WILL CAUSED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO FAIL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO TITAN OWNERS WOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB HAS THE AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING , I WAS ADVISE BY A MECHANIC THAT THERE'S A RECALL ON SAME VEHICLES JUST LIKE MINE, THE RECENT DEALER'S DIAGNOSIS CONFIRMS THAT THE WIRING FOR THE HARNESS ARE BROKEN AND IT'S REQUIRE TO BE REPLACED, THIS ISSUE APPLIES TO THE SAME DESCRIPTION ON THE RECALL CAMPAIGN # 06V459000 NISSAN CLAIMS MY VIN IT'S NOT ON THE RECALL , BUT THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME ,IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE NISSAN,S RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR . THIS IS UNSAFE FOR ME ,MY FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS OUT THERE. I HOPE THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION OPEN A RECALL UNDER MY VIN RANGE. THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD . *TR

FIRST OF ALL ,I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT MY TRUCK HAS HIGH MILES.I PURCHASED IT NEW, DEALER SERVICED ONLY.IN FACT MY TRUCK WAS SERVICED BY A DEALER IN MIAMI ON 3-28-13 FOR OIL CHANGE ,THE DAY BEFORE I LOST MY TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF ,WHAT I NOW KNOW TO BE COMMON PLACE, A $5 COOLING TUBING THAT GOES TO THE TRANSMISSION. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS MAYBE THE TECH AT THE DEALER BROKE THE TUBING SINCE ITS INCHES AWAY FROM THE OIL FILTER AND MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED THERE HOURS BEFORE I LOST ALL MY FLUID,THEREFORE BURNING UP MY TRANSMISSION, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE DEALERS WOULD CHECK THE TUBING SINCE ITS RIGHT IN THE TECH'S FACE WHILE CONDUCTING OIL CHANGES. OH WELL ,MY TRUCK WAS WELL MAINTAINED,STILL LOOKS GREAT,TOTALLY LOADED LE, MY TRANNY WENT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING,THIS WILL COST ME AROUND $6000.I`M A NISSAN MAN,I JUST PURCHASED THE NEW 2013 PATHFINDER FOR MY WIFE BACK IN DECEMBER BEFORE IT EVEN APPEARED ON THE STREETS, SHOULD I HAVE FEARS ABOUT DEFECTS WITH THIS ONE ? WHAT'S GOING ON NISSAN ? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN WAS TAKEN IN FOR RECALLS. UPON COMPLETION OF THE WORK, WHICH WAS POORLY PERFORMED, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT BOTH OF MY MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WOULD COST ME OVER $2,000 BUT THE DEALER WOULD CUT ME A DEAL FOR $1,700 IF I WANTED TO DO IT RIGHT AWAY AND THEY ALSO THREATENED ME WITH THE FACT THAT I WOULD NOT PASS MY SMOG SO I HAD TO DO IT NOW. I DECLINED AS I COULD NOT AFFORD REPAIRS LIKE THAT. AFTER A SHORT SEARCH ONLINE I FOUND THAT THIS WAS A REGULAR ISSUE WITH TITANS BUT WAS NOT SUBMITTED FOR A RECALL. I HAVE ALSO SENT A COMPLAINT TO NISSAN. I AM QUITE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS THE LACK OF SERVICE I HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN STRONG SUPPORTERS OF NISSAN AND OWN MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER HAD ISSUES LIKE THIS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE RESOLVED. I WILL CONTINUE TO BUY NISSANS BUT HOPE THAT THIS WILL BE REVIEWED AND CLAIMED AS A RECALL. I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS AS MY HUSBAND AND I ARE BOTH CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED WITH 4 CHILDREN AND THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE WHICH WE CAN NO LONGER DRIVE BECAUSE WE CANNOT HAVE IT SMOGGED TO RENEW REGISTRATION. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THE MANIFOLDS HAD BEEN CRACKED FOR SOME TIME PRIOR TO THE VISIT TO THE DEALER. WE HAD ALWAYS TAKEN OUR TRUCK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE WE HAD PURCHASED A GOLD PACKAGE FOR MAINTENANCE AND I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT NOISE BEFORE AND THEY COULD NEVER FIND A PROBLEM. IT FIGURES THAT AS SOON AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WOULD MAGICALLY FIND THE ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK IN 2WD I HEARD A VERY LOUD CLUNKING (METAL ON METAL) NOISE COMING FORM THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. AFTER REACHING HOME, I REALIZED THAT THE FRONT AXLE WAS FALLING OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. I JACKED THE TRUCK UP AND DROPPED THE FRONT DIFF PAN. THIS IS WHERE I REALIZED THAT THE CLIPS HOLD IN THE FRONT AXLE HAVE FAILED AND BROKE IN TWO. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, HAD I BEEN TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THE WHEEL CAME OFF. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THIS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

WITHIN A PERIOD OF 14-15 MONTHS BOTH REAR AXLE SEAL ASSEMBLIES FAILED, ONE EACH ON PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE OF THE REAR AXLE. ACCORDING TO NATIONAL TIRE & BATTERY THE ENTIRE AXLE ASSEMBLY IS REQUIRED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE A SEAL THAT IS LEAKING, AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1000.00 EACH TIME. THIS SEEMS QUITE UNREASONABLE AND EXCESSIVE TO REPLACE AN AXLE THAT IS IN PERFECT OPERATING CONDITION WHEN THE ONLY ISSUE IS WITH A RUBBER BOOT (SEAL) THAT IS LEAKING FLUID. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A DIRT ROAD MY SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO A DITCH. I CONTACTED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA AND THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WHEN I TOOK IT THERE AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO COVER IT SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK USED AND THEY ASKED WHAT OTHER ACTIONS I WAS GOING TO PURSUE AND I SAID I WAS GOING TO CONTACT A LAWYER AND THEY WERE VERY ADAMANT ABOUT ME NOT CONTACTING A LAWYER WHICH I CONSIDERED TO BE A RED FLAG. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I NOTICED I AM NOT THE ONLY NISSAN TITAN OWNER THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO FILE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE OR SHOP FEES BECAUSE I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE MY FAULT AND FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY SINCE MY WIFE DRIVES THIS TRUCK AND WE HAUL OUR NIECE AND NEPHEW IN THE TRUCK WHEN WE HAVE THEM AND HAD THIS HAPPENED ON OUR FREEWAY AT 75MPH THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. *TR

2006 WITH 2000 MILES; REAR DIFFERENTIAL MADE A LOUD GEAR WHINE SOUND WHEN IN UN-LOADED DE-CEL. TOOK TITAN BACK TO DEALER. DEALER REPLACED DIFFERENTIAL UNDER WARRANTY (2000 MILES, ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE). AT 115,000 MILES IN JULY OF 2011, REPLACED REAR AXLE SEALS (NO WARRANTY). NOW, SEPTEMBER 2012, AT 133,000 MILES. THE SLIP AND BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN DIFFERENTIAL GEAR OIL IS COLD. ONCE WARMED UP, LIGHTS GO OUT AND STAY OUT AFTER TITAN IS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED WARM. CHANGED DIFFERENTIAL OIL EVERY 7500 MILES WITH 75W 140 SYNTHETIC OIL PER MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES. NO ADDITIVES CALLED FOR OR USED WITH GEAR OIL CHANGES. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL THE LIGHTS (SLIP AND BRAKE) INDICATE THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND LIMITED SLIP ARE NOT OPERATIONAL WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON. DIFFERENTIAL REPAIR/REPLACEMENT REQUIRED TO RE-GAIN ABS AND LSD FEATURES. NOT SURE IF THE ULTIMATE FAILURE MODE IS 'GRACEFUL' OR NOT. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES
2006 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 CURRENTLY WITH 80,200 MILES. LEFT AND RIGHT REAR AXLE OIL LEAK. AT APPROXIMATELY 65000 MILES, DURING A TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE AT A NISSAN DEALER, MECHANIC NOTICED THE PASSENGER REAR AXLE WAS LEAKING. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATED IT WOULD BE ABOUT $500.00 TO REPAIR. HE ALSO STATED THAT NO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. AFTER HAVING THE ENGINE OIL CHANGED ON JULY 2012, I NOTICED MY DRIVER SIDE REAR AXLE LEAKING NOW. SEVERAL SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE BEEN POSTED ONLINE. NISSAN SHOULD PUSH THE MANUFACTURE TO HAVE THIS HAZARDOUS ISSUE RESOLVED VERY SOON AND NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THE SEAL AT NO COST OR AT A LOW DISCOUNTED PRICE. *TR
