POWER TRAIN
I NOTICED A WHINING NOSE FROM 45 TO 70 MPH. IT GOT REAL LOUD AD 60-65 MPH. MY TITAN IS REGULARLY SERVICED WITH DIFFERENTIAL FLUID CHANGES, AND ALL MAINTENANCE. THE TRUCK HAS 112,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS JUST TOLD THAT THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ON THE TRUCK, AT A COST OF $2448 PLUS TAX ON A VEHICLE THAT IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND TAKEN CARE OF. NO EXCUSE FOR IT, AND RIDICULOUS. *TR

WHILE TAKING MY 05 TITAN IN FOR A SERVICE APPOINTMENT (TO REPLACE A MELTED WIRING HARNESS FROM MY TAILPIPE FALLING OFF, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY/PROBLEM) I HEARD A SOFT WHINE. I REPORTED IT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE CALLED ME BACK LATER IN THE DAY AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS LIKELY A BEARING IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. HE SAID HE COULDN'T REPLACE THE BEARING, THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS A COMPLETE ASSEMBLY AND HAD TO BE FULLY REPLACED AT A COST OF $2400. I ASKED HIM WHAT HE WOULD DO, AND HE SAID HE'D KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL THE WHINE GOT TOO OBNOXIOUS. SO I DID NOT REPLACE IT. I PICKED THE TRUCK UP ON FRIDAY, 9/2/11. TWO DAYS LATER, WHILE SLOWING DOWN ON A HIGHWAY TO MAKE A TURN, I HEARD A GRATING SOUND, FOLLOWED BY THE TRUCK LOCKING UP. WHEN I GOT OUT, THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS LAYING ON THE GROUND. THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD LOCKED UP. HAD TO BE TOWED. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER HAY, WHICH WITH MY TRAILER IS ABOUT 6,000 POUNDS. I DELIVER TYPICALLY 6 LOADS A YEAR, AND IT IS ABOUT A 10 MILE DRIVE TO MY CUSTOMER'S HOME. OVER 90% OF MY MILES ON THE TRUCK ARE HIGHWAY MILES, WITH THE CRUISE ON AND IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE. I DO NOT TAKE IT OFF ROAD. I ONLY USE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN WE HAVE SNOW ON THE GROUND (2 OR 3 TIMES A YEAR). THE TRUCK IS GARAGED AT HOME AND AT WORK. THERE IS NO WAY THE DIFFERENTIAL SHOULD BE FAILING ON A FULL SIZE PICKUP TRUCK UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. I OPENED A CASE WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AND TOLD THEM THAT I FELT NISSAN SHOULD PAY A SUBSTANTIAL PERCENTAGE OF THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK HAD 68,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 60,000 MILES. THEY REJECTED MY CLAIM AND PAID NOTHING. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT ROAD UNDER NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS I HEARD A LOUD THUMP FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK FOLLOWED BY A SEVERAL MORE INTERMITTENT THUMPS. THE TRUCK STILL DROVE, BUT WITH THE THUMPING. UPON INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THAT THE CROSS SHAFT FOR THE SPIDER GEAR SLIPPED OUT AND GOT IN BETWEEN THE PINION AND RING GEAR CAUSING IT TO BIND. IT BROKE SEVERAL TEETH OFF OF THE RING GEAR, DAMAGED THE CROSS SHAFT AND MARRED THE PINION GEAR. *TR

THE REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING AND HAS CAUSED MY REAR BRAKES TO SLIP DUE TO THE DIFFERENTIAL OIL GETTING ON MY BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. THIS IS MY SECOND ENCOUNTER OF THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN STILL REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

I JUST WENT INTO THE DEALERSHIP LAST THURSDAY THE 27TH OF SEPTEMBER TO HAVE A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE PERFORMED. AS PART OF THE INSPECTION THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT MY REAR AXLE SEALS ON MY TRUCK WERE SEEPING/LEAKING AGAIN. THE DEALER HAD REPLACED THE REAR AXLES AND SEALS UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AT 46520 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE TRUCK NOW HAS A LITTLE OVER 54K MILES AND THEY ARE GOING OUT AGAIN. SO ESSENTIALLY 14 MONTHS AFTER THE DEALER REPLACED EVERYTHING IT IS OUT AGAIN. I AM GOING TO CONTACT NISSAN DIRECTLY AGAIN TO GET THIS REPAIRED EVEN THOUGH I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BY LESS THAN A MONTH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR BOTH MY FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AS THESE SEALS CAN LEAK OIL ONTO THE BRAKES AND COULD CAUSE A REAR END FAILURE AT DRIVING SPEED WHICH COULD ENDANGER LIVES. THIS TRUCK HAS LOW MILES FOR A 2006 AND TOWS A LIGHT TRAILER WITH ATVS A FEW TIMES A YEAR. ALL MANUFACTURE MAINTENANCE IS PERFORMED ON TIME BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE AN 2007 NISSAN TITAN SE, AND WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING. THE ENGINE WOULD MAKE A MOANING OR WHINING NOISE AT START UP AND WHILE IDLING NEAR THE POWER STEERING AREA. THIS WENT ON FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. I NOTICED THAT THE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR WAS OVERFLOWING SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THE PUMP IS SHOT AD NEEDS REPLACED. I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO CONTACT NISSAN IN REGARDS TO THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY TO NO AVAIL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIND OUT IF ITS COVERED, RECALL ETC. MY TRUCK HAS JUST UNDER 45,000 MILES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, EQUIPMENT
2006 NISSAN TITAN ONLY 35,000 MILES AND BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKED AND WERE LEAKING EXHAUST GASES THAT COULD NOT BE FED INTO CATALYTIC CONVERTERS..DEALER REPLACED UNDER EMISSIONS WARRANTY SINCE EXHAUST MANIFOLD/CATALYTIC CONVERTER ARE A SOLID 1 PIECE UNIT. THEY REPLACED WITH IDENTICAL DEFECTIVE PIECES THAT I AM POSITIVE WILL CRACK LIKE THE ORIGINAL ONES..PLEASE CHECK ONLINE TITAN FORUMS AND YOU WILL SEE IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALMOST EVERY TITAN..MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS THEY "AUTOMATICALLY CHECK EVERY TITAN" FOR THIS ISSUE..I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CAMPAIGN BECAUSE IT IS SO COMMON AND NOT FROM DRIVER ERROR/ABUSE, AND ONCE ANY TITAN IS OUT OF THE 8 YEAR/80000 MILE COVERAGE IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR TOTALING OVER 2,000 DOLLARS! MOST TITAN OWNERS REPORT A TICKING SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD ESPECIALLY UNDER COLD START UP-I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS ON MINE SO I HAD NO IDEA MINE WERE CRACKED THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO INSPECT AS MANY TITANS AS POSSIBLE FOR THIS EMISSIONS ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65 MPH. I WAS GOING THAT SPEED WHEN, WHAT I THOUGHT WAS MY DRIVE SHAFT, BASICALLY EXPLODED AND FELL APART WHILST I WAS IN MOTION. I HAVE KEPT UP ONE ALL MANDATORY AND BASIC MAINTENANCE WORK AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT BEFORE. PARTS FLEW OUT FROM ALL AROUND MY TRUCK AND IT SLAMMED INTO A COMPLETE STOP AS IF I HAD MADE IMPACT INTO SOMETHING. PASSING VEHICLES HAD TO STAY CLEAR OF THE DEBRIS AN I HAD TO PUSH MY TRUCK INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. HIGHWAY PATROL ASKED IF I WAS ALRIGHT AND I STATED TO HAVE ALREADY HAD A TOW TRUCK ON ITS WAY. WHEN MY TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE SHOP THEY SAID THE REAR END ACTUALLY GAVE WAY AND BROKE, INCLUDING THE DRIVE SHAFT WHICH SNAPPED INTO TWO PIECES, ONE OF WHICH WAS LAUNCHED INTO TRAFFIC. LUCKILY NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE DAMAGED NOR PEOPLE HURT. THE MECHANICS SAID THEY'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 57 YEARS AND I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE COME OUT OF THAT THE WAY I DID, BECAUSE IN MOST CASES THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE FLIPPED AND ROLLED. THE DAMAGES WERE EXTENSIVE AND EXTREME FOR SOMETHING I HAD NO CONTROL OVER. THE SHOP INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WAY I WAS DRIVING IT OR ANYTHING I COULD HAVE DONE, AND THEY FOUND IT "WEIRD" THAT IT HAPPENED THE WAY IT DID. VERY DANGEROUS AND NEAR TRAUMATIZING. I WAS UNABLE TO SELECT THE CORRECT COMPONENTS ABOVE SO I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR THAT IT HAD EVERYTHING TO DO WITH MY DRIVE SHAFT, REAR DIFFERENTIAL, AND POWER LINE. *TR
