MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH 81K MILE HAS 2 CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDES HAVE CRACK JUST IN FRONT OF LAST CYCLE ON BOTH SIDES. MY TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE ONE NIGHT. THE NEXT MORNING MY TRUCK WAS SOUNDING LIKE IT HAD AN EXHAUST LEAK. SEND MY TRUCK IN TO HAVE RECALLS ADDRESS AND IT WAS CONFIRMED BY NISSAN MECHANICS THAT BOTH SIDES ARE CRACKED. WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE ABOUT $3000 TO REPLACE BOTH SIDES. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE USING 4WD MY FRONT AXLE POPPED OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. LUCKILY I WAS OFFROAD AND GOING SLOW. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I SEE IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AND CAN LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE ( IF RETAINING CLIP IS EJECTED AND GETS BETWEEN GEARS) CAUSING THE FRONT END TO TEMPORARILY LOCK UP. AGAIN LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOW. BUT THIS IS TO COMMON AN ISSUE AND SOMETHING THAT CAN CAUSE A LAPSE IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ATTEMPTED TO STOP AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, AND I HAD NO PRIMARY BRAKE FUNCTION. I WENT THRU AN INTERSECTION UNABLE TO STOP AND COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE. THE VEHICLE DOES THIS MULTIPLE TIMES, IF I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, RESTART THE VEHICLE I HAVE BRAKES, DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THEN NO BRAKES. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE, AND IT'S THE BRAKE BOOSTER. NISSAN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE, THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF EXACT COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN, AND I GET NOTHING FROM THEM OR ANY ASSISTANCE. PLEASE, PLEASE, DO SOME RESEARCH ON LINE ABOUT THIS AND MAKE NISSAN FIX THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLES. I HAVE THE VEHICLE PARKED IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER FOR THE $1,200.00 REPAIR AND TOWING BILL. AS A CONSUMER I NEED YOUR HELP. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN HAS HAD NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT COMING ON WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES MAKE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE HAD TO GO ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TO AVOID REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. ONCE I GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED I CAN TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND THE BRAKES RESET AND WORK CORRECTLY. HOWEVER, THESE INCIDENTS ARE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO RESTART THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE RESET. THIS IS A VERY CRITICAL SAFETY FLAW AND I HAVE READ MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THESE TRUCKS AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS INJURY OR A FATALITY. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND IT HAS BEEN SERVICED AT PROPER INTERVALS. *TR

SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN
THIS WILL BE THE 3RD REAR DIFFERENTIAL ON THIS TRUCK. THE FIRST BLEW ON WARRANTY AT APPROX 10K MILES. NOW WITH 56K MILES THE 2ND DANA REAR AXLE HAS BLOWN. I DON'T OFF ROAD AND TOW ONLY A MOTORCYCLE TRAILER. THIS IS OBSCENE, TIME CONSUMING AND VERY COSTLY ($3,630.00) TO FIX AND DAYS WAITING AWAY FROM HOME. THIS ISN'T RIGHT. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN TRYING TO BACKUP THE TRUCK THE COLUMN GEAR SHIFTER MOVED INTO REVERSE BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL MOVING FORWARD. FORTUNATELY I DIDN'T RUN OVER ANYONE BUT IT COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED IN A BUSY PARKING LOT. THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS MOVING UP AND DOWN INTO EVERY POSITION BUT IT WAS CONTINUOUSLY ENGAGED IN DRIVE. I DROVE HOME AND PARKED. THE SHIFTER IS STILL MOVING UP AND DOWN; THE GEAR INDICATOR SHOWS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS IN "D" - DRIVE BUT THE VEHICLE IS ROLLING AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND CAN'T BE STARTED. THERE IS A NISSAN RECALL NO. RU403 BUT NISSAN SAYS MY TRUCK IS NOT AFFECTED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A BRAKE / ABS PROBLEM WITH MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AS I WAS DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND AS I ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THE BRAKES UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS, I HAVE ALMOST NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK IN TIME. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE ABS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATING AND BRAKE PEDAL IS FLUCTUATING, VIBRATING AND GRINDING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/17/14 THEY SAID IT WAS A PROGRAMMING ISSUE. I PAID ABOUT $100 FOR THEM TO UPLOAD A NEW PROGRAM. THEY TOLD ME THE NEW PROGRAM DIDN'T TAKE AND THEN TOLD ME THE DELTA SENSOR IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS MOST LIKELY THE ISSUE. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE ENTIRE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY MUST BE PURCHASED SINCE THEY DON'T SELL THE DELTA SENSOR SEPARATELY, AND THE COST IS $950 TO REPLACE. I CALLED AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THE NEXT DAY 7/18/14. TODAY 7/24/14, I FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS LETTING ME KNOW THAT THEY WERE UNWILLING TO HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE IT' OUT OF WARRANTY, NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WILL NOT PURSUE ANY FURTHER ACTION IN REGARDS TO MY CASE & CONSIDERED THE MATTER CLOSED. *TR

SUDDEN BRAKE LOSS WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30MPH. IT HAS OCCURRED BEFORE AND SEEMS TO HAVE INCREASED AFTER A FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT. I'D GUESS 10 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK NOW, I'VE KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE FOR SOME TIME AND WAS READING ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WHICH I BELIEVE ONLY COVERED THE RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA AND THE COMMENTS SUGGESTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT HERE. IT'S THE SAME THING, THE EMERGENCY LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN APPLY BRAKES THERE IS NO PRESSURE AND AN AWFUL GRINDING NOISE. ONCE YOU COME TO A SAFE STOP, TURN OFF AND BACK ON, AND THE PROBLEM IS GONE! PREVIOUSLY, IT HAD BEEN WEEKS AND EVEN MAYBE MONTHS IN BETWEEN BUT NOW IT SEEMS TO HAVE TURNED IN A DAILY TASK. ANY UPDATE ON RECALL OR NATIONWIDE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR
