ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I OWN A 4X4 LOADED 2006 TITAN LE WHICH IS MY PRIMARY FAMILY VEHICLE. AROUND 80K, ECM MODULE WENT OUT CAUSING CAR TO STALL OUT AND LOSE ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC (WITH MY KIDS). LUCKY NOT TO BE NAILED BY AN ON-COMING CAR, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MODULE WAS REPLACED DUE TO RECALL. ONE WEEK LATER WHILE VACATIONING IN THE MOUNTAINS THE BATTERY RANDOMLY FRIED, WE REPLACED IT. HOWEVER IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING, THE ANTI-THEFT ALARM WOULD RANDOMLY SOUND OFF, THE DVD PLAYER WOULDN'T WORK (HASN'T WORKED SINCE), THE SUNROOF WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND WOULDN'T OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY. ONCE WE RETURNED, THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG (EXCEPT THE DVD PLAYER, WHICH NO ONE COULD EXPLAIN). ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE FOUND THAT THE FIRST CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD BLOWN..FOLLOWED NOT LONG AFTER BY CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND THE DRIVERS SIDE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BAD..DEALERSHIP WANTS $3000 JUST FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS!!! I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPLACEMENT! THIS CLEARLY IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND NOT A ISOLATED CASE, NISSAN MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! I HEAR RUMORS OF A CLASS ACTION...IT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!! I'M HOPING THEY DO THE RIGHT THING AND JUST FIX IT, WITHOUT HAVING TO GET LAWYERS INVOLVED. *TR

REAR DIFF STARTED WITH SMALL WINE NOISE IN AM ON WAY TO WORK - 11.6 MILES. WENT TO LUNCH - ANOTHER 6 MILES - NOISE A LITTLE LOUDER - NOT BAD - JUST A LITTLE LOUDER. GO HOME IN EVENING - MADE IT ANOTHER 6 MILES AND NOISE SOUNDED LIKE SOME ONE WAS CRASHING INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AS THE BACK END LOCKED UP AND SENT ME SKIDDING ACROSS THE ROAD. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN THE LANE NEXT ME!! FAILURE ACCORDING TO DEALER WAS FROM THE 'VENT' TUBE BEING CLOGGED AND CAUSING IT OVERHEAT AND BLOW THE SEALS... SO, ALMOST A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT IF WAS ON HIGHWAY, AND NOW 3500 DOLLARS TO FIX BECAUSE OF A 5 DOLLAR CHECK VALVE! THIS IS INSANE. GOOGLE AROUND FOR THE TITAN REAR DIFF, AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE OUT THERE!!!! *TR

THE SEAL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR FAILED, BEGAN TO LEAK OIL ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF THE RIM AND THE BRAKES. THIS WAS WITHIN A FEW MILES AFTER HAVING HAD A DEALERSHIP PRESS A NEW BEARING ONTO THE AXLE AND OCCURRED WITHIN AN HOUR OF THE VEHICLE HAVING BEEN PICKED UP FROM THE SHOP. DEALERSHIP ADMITS TO HAVING SEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND KNOWING THAT IT WOULD LEAK BUT HAVING DECIDED TO NOT INFORM THE CUSTOMER ABOUT THE ISSUE. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKED ON DRIVERS SIDE AT 66,000 MILES. GEAR OIL ALL OVER BRAKES WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. NO MODIFICATIONS - TRUCK IS FULL STOCK. NISSAN DEALER DATABASE REVEALS THIS ISSUE HAPPENED ALSO AT 29,000 MILES AND ENTIRE RFD WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY FOR PREVIOUS OWNER. NOW HAPPENS AGAIN AT 66,000 MILES. I AM TOLD THERE IS A TSB FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT SINCE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY(6,000 MILES AGO) THAT THIS IS MY PROBLEM. DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD VERY WELL HAVE BEEN GOING ON WITHOUT MY NOTICE FOR LONGER THAN 6,000 MILES. A LITTLE RESEARCH REVEALS THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS. NISSAN NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A FAULTY DESIGN IN THE RFD, AND THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE DUE TO IT BEING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN! *KB

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2004 NISSAN TITAN FROM A DEALERSHIP IN OHIO IN SEPTEMBER OF 2004. HAD A FEW OTHER ISSUES ABOUT THE TRUCK DURING ALL THIS TIME OF OWNERSHIP BUT NISSAN HAD ISSUED RECALLS TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE ISSUES AND I WAS PLEASED WITH THEM AND THEIR SERVICE. I AM AT PRESENT EXPERIENCING REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS RELATED TO LEAKING REAR SEALS AND FAULTY COMPONENTS IN THE ENTIRE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF REPORTED DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS ON THE 2004 THROUGH 2010 TITANS AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO ELIMINATE THIS SAFETY DEFECT AND RECALL ALL THE TITANS FOR NEW DIFFERENTIAL REPLACEMENTS AT NISSANS EXPENSE. I HOPE TO GOD PEOPLE DRIVING THE TITANS ARE NOT KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM AND DEFECT IN WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIAL. I WILL NEVER DEAL WITH NISSAN EVER AGAIN FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYONE I COME IN CONTACT WITH FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE WILL BE TOLD BY ME HOW UNRELIABLE AND HONEST THE NISSAN COMPANY IS I JUST SPENT 2900.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY DIFFERENTIAL WITH A NEWLY ENGINEERED AND DESIGNED DIFFERENTIAL MADE BY DESIGNED BY AND INSTALL ON MY TRUCK BY NISSAN EMPLOYEE'S. NEVER AGAIN! *TR

I HAVE NOW ONLY OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR ONE YEAR. I AM ONLY THE SECOND OWNER. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE DRIVE TRAIN ISSUES NOW WITH THIS TRUCK AND IT IS ONLY CURRENTLY AT 75,000 MILES AS OF 11/20/2011. 04/22/11 TURNED A CORNER FROM A FOUR WAY STOP TO HEAR A LIGHT GRINDING NOISE THAT TURNED TO A HEAVY CLUNK AND TIRE HOP. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL TRUSTED AUTO REPAIR TECH TO FIND THAT MY E-LOCKER DETERIORATED AND LITERALLY GRENADED MY WHOLE CARRIER ASSEMBLY. THE ONLY FIX ACCORDING TO NISSAN IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AS IN NEW CASE FULLY ASSEMBLED W/ ROTORS AND ALL. LOCAL SHOP DID RESEARCH AND SAID THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THEY HAVE A LOT AND NISSAN DOES NOT SELL INDIVIDUAL PARTS TO REPLACE. LOCAL SHOP HAD TO BUILD WHOLE NEW CUSTOM REAR END FROM SEALS IN W/ A DETROIT TRUE TRAC MECHANICAL LOCKER. AT THE SAME TIME SHORTLY AFTER FOUND GEAR OIL IN DRIVEWAY FROM FRONT PUMPKIN TO FIND DRIVERS SIDE C-CLIP BROKE AND AXLE SHAFT IS NOT ENGAGING (IN OTHER WORDS NO DEPENDABLE 4WD) HAD THAT ALL FIXED IN 05/2011 AND SEEMED OKAY NEVER HAD USED THE 4WD. NOW 11/19/11 WENT TO GO FIND A CHRISTMAS TREE AND TURNED ON THE 4WD AGAIN JUST IN CASE. ONCE AGAIN A BROKEN C-CLIP OUT OF NOWHERE. I HAVE NOW HAD TWO BROKEN C-CLIPS WITHIN ABOUT 6 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER W/O 4WD BEING USED. BOUGHT THE TRUCK FOR $16K AND HAVE NOW PUT IN ALMOST ANOTHER $4K IN FRONT AND REAR END REPAIRS. NISSAN IS LOSING A LOT OF CUSTOMERS BY NOT OWNING UP TO THEIR MISTAKES AND DESIGN FLAWS. *TR

I WAS IN NEW YORK FOR THE WEEK. I WAS CURRENTLY OUT SPOTTING DEER, I WENT TO TURN AROUND, I PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE AND IT SOUNDED LIKE MY REAR END BLEW UP. I THEN CONTINUED TO CAMP. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO DRIVE IT AND IT POPPEDLIKE CRAZY MAKING A BIG NOISE IN REAR. I DROVE IT TO A GARAGE AND THEY CHECKED MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND SAID MY SPIDER GEARS IN THE REAR END SNAPPED. THERE WAS PIECES OF GEARS ALL THROUGH MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS THING THAT CAN HAPPEN AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH NISSAN TITANS. I NOTIFIED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN GARAGE, THE CLOSEST GARAGE IS 47 MILES I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR TOWING AND EVERYTHING THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE REAR AXLES BUT THERE SHOULD BE BECAUSE THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER. TITAN REAR ENDS ARE TO SMALL FOR THE TRUCK. ALSO IT IS GOING TO COST AROUND 3000 BECAUSE NISSAN DOES NOT MAKE THE PARTS FOR REAR AXLE, HOW PATHETIC IS THAT! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAD FUEL. THE VEHICLE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY, IN TRAFFIC, AND WAS OUT OF GAS. AT THE TIME WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG AND ONLY KNEW IT WOULD NOT START. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO DIAGNOSED IT WAS OUT OF GAS AND THE FUEL SENDER WAS FAULTY. THE FUEL SENDER RESIDES INSIDE THE FUEL TANK ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT AT THEIR EXPENSE. OUR PARTICULAR VIN # IS NOT COVERED FOR THE IDENTICAL ISSUE THAT IS UNDER A CURRENT RECALL. *TR

DISCOVERED THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR AXLE OIL SEAL LEAKING. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IN ACCORDANCE WITH NISSAN MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES. DISCOVERED NISSAN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB)NTB10-032 STATING ENTIRE AXLE SHAFT ASSEMBLY (AXLE, NEW RETAINER, AXLE BEARING, OIL SEAL, BEARING CAGE, AND ABS ROTOR) BE REPLACED ON 2004-2008 MODELS WHEN OIL LEAKS ARE DISCOVERED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE TSB DID NOT ELABORATE WHY THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY IS TO BE REPLACED. IT CAN ONLY BE ASSUMED THAT ALL PARTS OF THE ASSEMBLY ARE CONSIDERED DEFECTIVE AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. I PRESENTED THE TSB TO MY NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THEY ONLY NEED TO REPLACE THE OIL SEAL, AXLE BEARING, AND SPACER CONTRARY TO THE PRESCRIBED SERVICE PROCEDURE IN THE TSB. WITHIN 200 MILES OF REPLACEMENT, THE NEW OIL SEAL LEAKS INDICATING THE CAUSE OF THE SEAL FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. UNRESOLVED AXLE SEAL LEAKS WILL RESULT IN AXLE FAILURE AND BRAKE FAILURES WHEN PADS ARE SOAKED BY GEAR OIL LEAKS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
AT HIGHWAY SPEED, VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART STRANDING WIFE AND KIDS ON HIGHWAY. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED 1/4 TANK OF GAS, BUT IT WAS LATER FOUND THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY. SAME CONDITION AS DOCUMENTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN 10V074000, BUT NISSAN CORP. STATED THAT VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER PREVIOUS RECALL BECAUSE VIN RANGE/MANUFACTURE DATE IS PRIOR TO SPECIFICATIONS OF RECALL. NISSAN HAS STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND HAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. *SAFETY ISSUE - A MAJOR COLLISION COULD HAVE OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEED DUE TO VEHICLE'S INEXPLICABLE SHUT DOWN. *TR

JUST REPLACED THE REAR SEALS FOR A NISSAN TITAN 2006. PROBLEM BEGAN AT 65,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THAT LACK OF FLUID DUE TO LEAKING COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOCK-UP WHILE DRIVING. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. ALSO HAD TAILPIPE ISSUES (DROPPING FROM THE TRUCK) WHICH IS ALSO WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET AND, AGAIN, A SAFETY PROBLEM. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

I HAD BOTH REAR WHEEL AXLE SEALS THAT STARTED TO LEAK REPLACED ON MY NISSAN TITAN. (BOTH REPLACED BY THE NISSAN DEALER)THE RIGHT REAR AT 40,527 AND THE LEFT REAR AT 55,638. NOW AGAIN THE RIGHT REAR IS LEAKING AGAIN AT 79,000. I TALKED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THEY DON'T SEE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE WHEEL SEALS LEAKING. FROM WHAT I READ ABOUT OTHER OWNERS OF NISSAN TITANS I DISAGREE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. GETTING OIL ON THE BRAKES IS A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. NEED HELP HERE. THANKS. *TR
