ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
2005 NISSAN TITAN WITH A KNOWN POOR EXHAUST AND EMISSION CONTROL DEVICE LEADS TO PREMATURE FAILURE AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT PRIOR TO OR SOON AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES. EXHAUST MANIFOLDS INCLUDE CATALYTIC CONVERTORS AND ARE MOUNTED UNDER STRESS WHICH CAUSES FRACTURE AND EMISSION LEAKS AT THE MANIFLOLD, INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND NOT OUT OF THE EXHAUST. SEVERELY CRACKED MANIFOLDS CAN ACTUALLY ALLOW THE ENGINE TO RUN WITH THE TAILPIPE CLOSED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2004 NISSAN TITAN VIN [XXX] AT 90K MILES THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKED ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. NISSAN COVERS THIS UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 80K MILES FOR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE TRUCK HAS HAD NO MODIFICATION AND WILL NOT PASS STATE EMISSIONS AND GETS HORRIBLE GAS MILEAGE DUE TO THIS. NOW AT 104 K I HAVE VISITED MULTIPLE DEALERS AND THEY AGREE THIS IS COMMON ISSUE WITH THE TITAN'S AND THE CRACK WILL MAKE A 5 YEAR OLD TRUCK NOT PASS STATE EMISSIONS. TO REPLACE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WITH STOCK PARTS IS $1200; WHICH FRUSTRATES ME SINCE THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN WHICH CAUSES THE MANIFOLDS TO MOVE DIFFERENTLY THEN THE ENGINE MOUNTS ALLOW THE ENGINE TO. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
CAR INTO DEALER FOR SERVICE. FOUND TWO CRACKED MANIFOLDS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ENGINE RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE NOISE AND EXHAUST GASES TO BE RELEASED INTO THE CAB. BOTH SIDES NEED FULL REPLACEMENT AT NEARLY $1,200 PER SIDE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 70K MILES ON THE CLOCK. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR CRACKING ON TITANS, CAUSING EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE TRUCK CAB. VERY DANGEROUS, LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS. UN CONVERTED EXHAUST IS LEAKING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE SO THIS EFFECTS THE EMISSIONS LAWS. THE MANIFOLDS ARE ONE-PIECE WITH THE CATS BY THE WAY. THEY SHOULD ALL BE REPLACED DUE TO EXTREMELY POOR DESIGN AND FAILURE RATE ON MANY TITANS ON FORUMS SUCH AS TITANTALK.COM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE TRAVELING TO GO ON A 13 HOUR DRIVE, ALL OF OUR ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE TRUCK BECAME SLUGGISH. WE HAD TRUCK TOWED AND GOT A CALL FROM DEALERSHIP SAYING WHAT HAPPEN WAS MUFFLER/EXHAUST UNIT FELL OFF DURING TRAVEL AND THE UNIT REMAINING GOT SO HOT IT BURNED OUT ENTIRE PART OF TRUCK INCLUDING, ECU, REAR RIGHT HARNESS, AND 3 OTHER THINGS. COST TO FIX OVER $3,000. AFTER PAYING HEFTY BILL SHOP MANAGER SAID THIS WAS THE 5TH TITAN IN OUR SMALL TOWN HE HAD SAME ISSUE WITH AND THAT HE AGREES THIS IS THE WORST PLACE FOR A UNIT ON A TRUCK AND MANUFACTURER SHOULD OF PUT OTHER LOCATION. I THEN FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THEY ACTED LIKE THEY CARED AND THEN 3 WEEKS LATER THEY DENIED HELPING ME AT ALL SAYING IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I DID RESEARCH ON LINE AND LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I THINK NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND I NEED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY REPAIRS. I FIND IT ODD THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ALSO CRACKED ON THE TRUCK ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE AND NISSAN COVERS THAT UNTIL 80,000 MILES. *TR

REAR AXLE SEALS, LOCKS, & GASKETS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE DEALER IS CHARGING APPROX. $800 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE OIL IS LEAKING ONTO THE WHEELS FROM THE AXLE PROBLEM. THE SWITCH FOR THE DRIVER CONTROLLED WINDOWS IS OUT AND THE AIR PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON ALMOST 80% OF THE TIME. THE DRIVER SEAT BELT APPEARS TO JAM AND WON'T COME UNDONE OR LATCH ON MOST OF THE TIME. *TT

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WITHIN A 5 MILE RANGE THE VEHICLE STARTED TO WHINE, THEN CLANK, THEN LOCK-UP. EMERGENCY BRAKES FAILED AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED... VEHICLE WAS UNDRIVEABLE. THIS VEHICLE JUST HIT 100,000 MILES. REPAIR IS > 1/5TH OF VEHICLE VALUE. THIS IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE IN 2004 NISSAN TITANS. VERY DANGEROUS - ESPECIALLY IF TOWING A TRAILER (WHICH IS WHAT THIS VEHICLE IS ADVERTISED TO DO) *TT

INTERNET SITES INDICATE THIS IS A COMMON RECURRENCE AND THE PART WAS SUBSEQUENTLY REDESIGNED. NISSAN REFUSE TO STAND BY THEIR QUALITY AND HIDE BEHIND THE WARRANTY TERMS FOR A DESIGN FAILURE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TICKING NOISE DISCOVERED WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK. SOUNDS SEEMS TO COME FROM LOWER ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR FROM FRONT WHEEL-WELLS. SUSPECTED A LEAKING EXHAUST PIPE. TOOK TRUCK TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS (LEFT AND RIGHT) WERE BOTH CRACKED. ESTIMATED COST WAS $2100. ADVISED BY NISSAN TECHNICIAN TO "JUST LEAVE IT ALONE" AS THE ONLY RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM WAS THE TICKING NOISE AND A LITTLE WORSE MILEAGE THAN USUAL. OVER THE LAST YEAR, SEVERAL INSTANCES OF ENGINE FUMES CAUSING PASSENGERS TO ROLL WINDOWS DOWN. SUSPECT THE FUMES ARE COMING FROM THE MANIFOLDS SINCE NO OTHER EXHAUST LEAKS HAVE BEEN FOUND. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A TIRE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF HIS.

THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

SUSPENSION, WHEELS, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN WITH ONLY 44000 MILES ON IT. DURING RECENT DRIVING IT SOUNDED AS IF THE RIGHT REAR WAS GRINDING TO PIECES. IT CONTINUALLY GOT WORSE SO I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS CAUGHT AND DRAGGING. IT WAS SO LOUD THAT PEOPLE WOULD STARE AT THE TRUCK WHEN IT PASSED BY. AFTER IT WAS TAKEN TO THE GARAGE THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE INSIDES OF THE RIGHT REAR AXLE WERE ALMOST COMPLETELY TORN APART. IT WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT IT DID NOT CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING. THEY ALSO FOUND THAT THE LEFT AXLE WAS LEAKING AND WOULD LIKELY ALSO BREAK DOWN. THE COST TO REPAIR THE TRUCK WAS OVER $1700.00. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON BOTH SIDES OF V8 ENGINE AS DIAGNOSED BY NISSAN DEALER. RESULT -- WILL LEAK RAW EXHAUST GASES INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND INTO ATMOSPHERE. INVESTIGATION REVEALS CRACKED MANIFOLDS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM FOR NISSAN TITANS AND LARGE NUMBERS OF TITANS ARE AFFECTED. NISSAN EMISSION WARRANTY ONLY COVERS 8YRS/80,000 MILES. BUT SINCE THESE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE DUE TO IMPROPER DESIGN AND POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY THREAT AND EMISSIONS PROBLEM THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NISSAN'S EXPENSE REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE AGE OR MILEAGE. *TR

I NOTICED A BLACK DARK GREASE ON THE INNER RIM AND AXLE HUB. I WAS TOLD BY A NEIGHBOR WITH THE SAME MAKE AND YEAR THAT THIS IS A LEAKING BEARING SEAL AND THAT THE ENTIRE AXLE HAS TO BE REPLACED. I CONSIDER THIS A HAZARD IF THE BEARING SEAL HAS LEAKED ALL OVER THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND SHOES. *KB
