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

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2006 TITAN STARTED VIBRATING LIKE RUNNING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS ON SIDE OF HIGHWAY. TOOK STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM SPLIT AND CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACED $7313.56. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ANYTHING. AFTER READING MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING ON OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL ON THE COOLING SYSTEM THAT CAN CAUSE THIS AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL ROAD, THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THEN, WHEN SLOWING TO TURN, BRAKES SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND DID NOT FEEL AS IF THEY WOULD SUCCEED IN STOPPING THE VEHICLE. I SLOWED ENOUGH TO TURN, THEN PROCEEDED SLOWLY TO MAKE 2 MORE IMMEDIATE TURNS BEFORE REACHING MY HOUSE. THE BRAKES SHUDDERED AND WERE NOT 100% EFFECTIVE EACH TIME THE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. FLUID LEVELS ARE NORMAL, BRAKE COMPONENTS LOOK GOOD. AFTER TURNING TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON, PROBLEM WAS NOT ABLE TO BE REPLICATED. HOWEVER, AFTER DOING ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS AS YET REFUSED TO ADDRESS, EVEN THOUGH IT COULD LEAD TO COLLISIONS AND FATALITIES. *TR

REAR RIGHT AXLE SEAL BEGAN TO LEAK ON 5/14/12 WAS ABOUT TO GET FIXED -KEPT DIFF FULL- (SECOND TIME HAPPENED)... ON 7/27/12 REAR SPIDER GEARS BROKE CAUSING THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL TO DRAG ACROSS THE PAVEMENT IN A PARKING LOT. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH 04-07 OFFROAD TITANS WITH THE LOCKING REAR DIFF. IF THIS FAILURE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE REAR WHEELS WERE TO HAVE STOPPED MOVING IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. NISSAN HAS SINCE REDESIGNED THE REAR END BUT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE WITH THE DEALERSHIP. EVEN PERFORMED THE TRANSMISSION FLUSH A FEW MONTHS PRIOR. WENT TO BACK THE VEHICLE INTO THE GARAGE AND THERE WAS NOT REVERSE. THE TRUCK WOULD REV THE ENGINE AND SHAKE AND AT HIGH RPM THE VEHICLE WOULD BEGIN TO SLIGHTLY REVERSE. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS BLOWN. AS WAS THE MANIFOLD (THE MANIFOLD WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY, THE TRANSMISSION WAS NO LONGER COVERED). AT A LITTLE OVER 60,000 MILES AND NOT USING THE VEHICLE TO TOW WHY DID THE REVERSE (WHICH WAS THE ONLY GEAR AFFECTED) AND THE TRANSMISSION GO OUT. THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON CERTAIN KING CAB TRUCKS, THE WIRES IN THE HARNESS WERE ROUTED THROUGH THE REAR DOORS AND INTO THE BODY. THESE WIRES MAY BREAK DUE TO OVER BENDING OF THE HARNESS AS THE DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED. THE HARNESS CONTAINS WIRES FOR THE DRIVER SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER AND FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WHICH IS PART OF THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. WIRES FOR THE REAR AUDIO SPEAKERS ARE ALSO CONTAINED N THE HARNESS. CONSEQUENCE: IF THE WIRES FOR THE SEAT BELTS AND SPEAKER WIRES BREAK AND MAKE CONTACT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE PRETENSIONER MAY DEPLOY. IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS RETRACTED, IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO USE THE SEAT BELT. IF ONE OF THE WIRES ON THE RIGHT SIDE HARNESS FOR THE SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR BREAKS, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AS DESIGNED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH AND PERSONAL INJURY. I WENT TO WALLACE NISSAN, KINGSPORT, TN, ON 07/18/2012 AND DESCRIBED THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROBLEM, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAMPAIGN HAD ENDED AND THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THIS PROBLEM, I EXPLAINED THAT THE DOME LIGHTS AND THE DOOR LOCK WERE EFFECTED BY THIS FLAWED DESIGN PROBLEM,. I AM VERY MUCH AFRAID THAT THE BROKEN WIRES WILL SHORT OUT AND START A FIRE. *TR
