STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE WIRING HARNESS, IN THE BACK DOOR HAS BROKEN, BECAUSE OF A NISSAN ENGINEERING PROBLEM, BOTH THE HARNESS AND WIRES HAVE BROKEN, WHICH ACCORDING TO NHTSA THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY, RESULTING IN MY HAVING AN UNSAFE TRUCK ACCORDING TO NHTSA, I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAMPAIGN HAD ENDED, SO THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR MY TRUCK ACCORDING TO THE GUIDELINES SET BY NHTSA. AT WHAT POINT DOES NISSAN DECIDE THAT THEY CAN DECIDE WHICH TRUCKS TO REPAIR, I HAVE TO WONDER HOW MANY OTHER UNSAFE NISSAN TRUCKS ARE ON THE HIGHWAYS. *TR

AIR BAGS
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED INTERMITTENT CHEMICAL TYPE ODOR THROUGH HVAC SYSTEM, 3 DEALERSHIPS UNABLE/UNWILLING TO CONFIRM, OR SEEK DIRECTION FROM CORPORATE AS TO METHOD FOR RESOLUTION AT MY SUGGESTION/REQUEST. I WAITED ONE YEAR TO ALLOW FOR VEHICLE TO "OFF-GAS" INTERIOR ODORS FROM MATERIALS USED IN MANUFACTURE, HAD TO INSIST THAT DEALER STAFF DOCUMENT THE CONCERN WHICH IS YET UNRESOLVED AND DENIED ASSISTANCE FROM CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT TO SATISFY HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERNS. INCURRED SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL EXPENSES TO ALLEVIATE ISSUE SUCH AS IN CABIN AIR FILTER AND PURCHASE OF IONIZING UNIT; PLUS MISSED WORKDAYS, TRANSPORTATION, FUEL AND SERVICE AND DIAGNOSTIC FEES AT DEALERSHIPS. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES
THE VEHICLE BRAKING BEGAN TO DETERIORATE SO I CHECKED EACH WHEEL, FRONT AND BACK. WHILE INSPECTING THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS I NOTICED OIL ON BOTH. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I NOTICED THAT THE REAR AXLE SEAL ON BOTH SIDES WAS LEAKING OIL AND IT HAD GOTTEN ON THE ROTORS AND PADS. I REPLACED BOTH ROTORS AND ALL PADS ON THE REAR, AND INSPECTED THE REAR AXLE VENT WHICH I FOUND PLUGGED. I INSTALLED A NEW VENT BUT THE REAR AXLE SEALS ARE STILL LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. IN DOING RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM I FOUND IT TO BE COMMON ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TRAVELING AT 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS. THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS BETWEEN 1/4 AND 1/8 OF A TANK REMAINING AND THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT HAD NOT COME ON. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. UPON ADDING 1.5 GALLONS OF FUEL THE VEHICLE RE-STARTED ON THE FIRST TRY SO IT WAS DEFINITELY OUT OF GAS. NISSAN HAS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY ISSUE BUT I WAS TOLD IT DOES NOT COVER MY VIN# ALTHOUGH IT IS FOR SOME VEHICLES OF MY MAKE AND MODEL YEAR. I PAID TO HAVE THE FUEL SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK REPAIRED AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY IMMEDIATELY AND HAS NOT RESURFACED. NISSAN MAY NEED TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL AS MY VEHICLE DEFINITELY EXPERIENCED THE SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES. *TR

STRUCTURE, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
I WAS DRIVING ON A ROUGH STRETCH OF I-55 SOUTH. I THEN NOTICED THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE SLOWLY SEPARATING FROM THE FRONT. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTED FALLING. I COULDN'T PULL OVER AT THE TIME THIS WAS HAPPENING. I ALSO COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING FROM THE REARVIEW MIRROR. BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO EXIT, THE CONSOLE HAD BROKEN UP TO THE LAST COMPARTMENT. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT SO THAT I COULD TRY TO DISCONNECT THE WIRES. I STILL HAD 40 PLUS MILES TO DRIVE TO GET HOME. I WAS ABLE TO DISCONNECT THE WIRES AND PUT THE BROKEN CONSOLE ON THE SEAT. I CALLED A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER ONCE I GOT HOME. I WAS TOLD THE ONLY THING THAT I COULD DO WAS TO PURCHASE A NEW CONSOLE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE TV MONITOR WHICH IS STILL IN PLACE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION
WHILE REPLACING LIFETIME WARRANTIED SUSPENSION WHICH WAS NOT HONORED BY NISSAN OR TENNECO, I FOUND THE REAR PINION SEAL TO BE LEAKING SEVERELY, AND REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING IN WHEEL ASSEMBLY. POSSIBLE SOURCE OF "TICKING" NOISE FROM DIFFERENTIAL, WHICH UNTIL THEN I THOUGHT WERE EXHAUST HEAT SHIELDS. THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE CATASTROPHIC DRIVETRAIN FAILURE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE FLUID LEAKING FROM AXLE SEAL CAN REDUCE EFFECTIVENESS OF BRAKING COMPONENTS. OTHER OWNERS HAVE DESCRIBED INADEQUATE ENGINEERING & POSSIBLE USE OF SUBSTANDARD DIFFERENTIAL MATERIALS & COMPONENTS ALONG WITH AXLE VENT ASSEMBLIES WHICH COULD CREATE INTERNAL PRESSURE CONDITIONS THAT COULD CAUSE SEALS TO FAIL. *TR

ENGINE
DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BEEN REPORTED, BUT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN TITANS (MANY YEARS) WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKING. I HAVE A 2004 AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE BEEN CRACKED FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS NOW. I CONTACTED NISSAN, THEY SUGGESTED TO CONTACT NISSAN CORPORATE, AND PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF LUCK. THE MANIFOLDS ARE OVER $850 EACH, AND BOTH OF MINE ARE SEVERELY CRACKED, CAUSING ENGINE, EMISSION, AND SAFETY/HEALTH PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MANY O2 SENSORS, CAT'S, AND MUFFLERS, DUE TO BURNING UP, AND HAVE TO DRIVE WITH ALL MY WINDOWS DOWN AND SHORT TRIPS DUE TO THE EXHAUST FILLING THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, AS THIS IS NOT ONLY AN ISSUE, BUT A MAJOR FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE HAD CHECKED OUT AT A LOCAL SHOP, AND THEIR EXACT WORDS WERE "THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO FLEX IN THE EXHAUST, SO WHEN THE ENGINE SHIFTS FROM DRIVING AND REVVING, THE MANIFOLDS ARE THE WEAKEST POINT AND THEREFORE CRACK". SOMETHING SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE DONE OR LOOKED INTO. MANY NISSAN TITAN FORUMS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. USUALLY ONLY ONE IS CRACKED, BUT I HAVE BOTH CRACKED. IF YOU NEED A VEHICLE TO INSPECT, YOU CAN LOOK AT MINE. I EVEN HAD THE EXHAUST UPGRADED TO BIGGER EXHAUST IN HOPES OF RELIEVING SOME OF THE PRESSURE, SO IT DOESN'T LEAK ALL OUT UNDER THE HOOD, AND THAT HAS HELPED SOME, BUT THIS IS SERIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN AND USABILITY OF THESE NISSAN TITAN TRUCKS. AND, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ALOT OF PEOPLE, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND OVER $1600 IN JUST 2 PARTS, PLUS ALL THE OTHER REQUIRED PARTS, WHEN I CAN BARELY AFFORD TO PAY THE BANK ON THE TRUCK. *TR *BF *TR

POWER TRAIN
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

THE REAR AXLE HUB SEALS LEAKED AFTER THE 1ST AND ONLY PULLING EVER DONE WITH MY 2004 (4 X 2) SE TITAN P/P. MY VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH " BIG TOW PKG." DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE. " NO" PULLING OR TOWING DONE SINCE REPLACEMENT BY DEALER SVC. DONE 12/24/2008 AT 85,417 MILES. HOWEVER, A RIGHT/PASSENGER SEAL LEAK NOTICED ON 08/29/2012 AT 152,247 MILES. I WAS TOLD BY THE REGIONAL WARRANTY SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED WITH AN " UPGRADED BETTER AXLE SYSTEM " WHICH WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WHEN THE REAR END WAS REPLACED. THE REAR AXLE DIFF. FLUID LEAK IS CAUSING PERIODIC BRAKING ISSUES AND NOISES. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFE BRAKING, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN WET WEATHER. NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
