ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. THEIR FAILURE EMITTED RAW ENGINE EXHAUST INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT POTENTIALLY ENDANGERING THE LIFE/HEALTH OF THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS DUE TO CARBON DIOXIDE EXPOSURE THROUGH CABIN AIR INLETS WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN. AT THE VERY LEAST, AIR POLLUTION IN VIOLATION OF THE EPA OCCURRED MULTIPLIED BY THE VAST NUMBER OF DOCUMENTED NISSAN EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILURES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
POORLY CONSTRUCTED EXHAUST MANIFOLD(S) EQUIPPED IN 2004-2007 NISSAN TITANS CRACK UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. NEARLY ALL TITANS ON THE ROAD (UP UNTIL ABOUT 2008) ARE EFFECTED BY THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. 2008+ TITANS ARE SAID TO BE EQUIPPED WITH STRONGER MANIFOLDS, BUT THOSE CRACK AS WELL. THIS CRACK, IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF, MAY THROW ERROR CODES WHICH WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO LEAN OUT AND POSSIBLY DESTROY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. ASIDE FROM POSSIBLE ENGINE MALFUNCTION DUE TO THIS CRACK, EXHAUST GASES TO NOT PROPERLY EXHAUST OUT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND SUBSEQUENTLY EXIT THE MANIFOLDS WITHIN THE ENGINE BAY AND ENTER INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN. AS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE ATTACHED TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, THEY CAN BE REPLACED BY THE 8Y/80K MILE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY. HOWEVER, MANY DEALERS WILL NOT LOOK AT THE MANIFOLDS TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE UNTIL AFTER THIS POINT. REPLACING THE MANIFOLDS USING OEM PRODUCTS IS QUITE COSTLY. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON 09/07/2010, I TOOK MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN TO FOR A SAFETY RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK. OWNER NOTIFICATION R1010 10V-074. THE TANK WAS REMOVED FROM THE TRUCK AND THE SENDING UNIT WAS REPLACED. AT THE TIME, THE VEHICLE HAD 9976 MILES ON IT. ON 07/10/2011, APPROXIMATELY TEN MONTHS LATER, THE VEHICLE HAD 10826 MILE ON IT. I HAD ONLY DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE 850 MILES SINCE THE TANK WAS REMOVED. ON THIS DATE WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, I HEARD THE SOUND OF SOMETHING THAT MADE ONE TAP UNDER THE FLOOR BOARD OF THE TRUCK. THE INTERIOR OF THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY FILLED WITH THE SMELL OF GASOLINE. AT THAT MOMENT THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. WHEN WE EXITED THE TRUCK, WE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A LARGE POOL OF GASOLINE ON THE GROUND THAT CAME FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK. I WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM ON MY OWN BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC PASSING ME AT SEVENTY PLUS MPH. I ASSUMED THE GAS LINE HAD BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE TANK, BECAUSE WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE, IT STARTED PUMPING GASOLINE FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK. I CALLED A TOWING SERVICE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A SAFE LOCATION WHERE I COULD VERIFY THE PROBLEM SAFELY. THE HOSE LINE WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE TANK. AFTER RECONNECTING THE LINE TO THE TANK, THE VEHICLE NOW RUNS PROPERLY. I FEEL THAT THE PERSON THAT DID THE RECALL WORK DIDN'T SNAP THE HOSE CONNECTION ONTO THE TANK SECURLY. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE TRUCK TO EVEN HAVE STARTED IF THE FITTING WASN'T ATTACHED SECURLY, BECAUSE IT WAS A PRESSUREIZED SYSTEM AND THE COMPUTER WOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED THE ENGING TO START HE REFUSED TO PAY MY TOWING BILL OF $85.00, BECAUSE HE SAID, "YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD IT TOWED HERE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THAT WAY WE COULD HAVE CHECKED TO SEE IF IT WAS SOMETHING WE DID WRONG." NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE THE HOSE WAS IMPROPERLY CONNECTED.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKS, SENDING OIL OVER THE BACK PLATE OF THE BRAKES, WETTING THE BRAKE PADS & DISK, CAUSING GREATER STOPPING DISTANCES, AND REAR END ACCIDENTS, OR REAR END FAILURE,CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR ROLL OVER. THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM, SINCE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN ON THE MARKET THERE HAS BEEN SEAL PROBLEMS WITH THE AXEL AND STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE,DOES IT TAKE A DEATH OF SOMEONE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, NO JUST A RECALL AND BETTER DESIGN. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT, POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
I JUST PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO. I AM THE 2ND OWNER AND BOUGHT IT FROM A GUY WHO BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN 2004 AND TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 55K MILES. JUST LAST WEEKEND, 6/19/2011, IT STARTED MAKING BANGING AND GRINDING NOISES IN THE BACK WHEEL. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT I RAN OVER SOMETHING AND IT WAS STUCK IN THE BACK WHEELS. AFTER EXAMINING THE REAR WHEEL AREA AND THE BRAKE PADS, EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL. HOWEVER, THE NOISE GOT LOUDER AND LOUDER. IT SOUNDED LIKE I WAS DRAGGING A REFRIGERATOR. I FELT A STUTTER IN THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED TO STRUGGLE TO GO WHEN I WOULD PUT THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE. I ASSUMED THE BRAKE CALIPERS MAY HAVE BEEN JAMMED AND BROUGHT IT INTO AN AUTO SERVICE CENTER TO BE EXAMINED. ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER, I WENT BACK TO THE SHOP AND THE TECHNICIAN TOOK ME TO GO SEE THE PROBLEM. THEY EXAMINED THE REAR BRAKES AND DIFFERENTIAL AND FOUND NUMEROUS LARGE CHUNKS OF BROKEN METAL INSIDE, WHICH SHE SAID WERE PIECES OF SHOES, HARDWARE, AND GEARS. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND THAT THE GEAR DAMAGE HAD LIKELY CAUSED A CHAIN REACTION DAMAGING THE ENTIRE LEFT REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY AND E-BRAKES. THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING TOO ONTO THE WHEELS. ALL THESE PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE REAR AXLE. THE SERVICE SHOP QUOTED ME $3800 TO GET THIS FIXED! I WAS IN SHOCK AS I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK. OF COURSE, I COULD NO LONGER DRIVE THE TRUCK EITHER AS IT WAS IN PIECES AND NOT DRIVABLE. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I DON'T HAVE THIS MONEY. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TELL THE SERVICE SHOP TO GO AHEAD WITH THE REPAIRS AND I WILL JUST HAVE TO PUT IT ON A CREDIT CARD. I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND WENT ON TO SEVERAL INTERNET SITES FOR NISSAN TITAN OWNERS TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS OR IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS. AFTER READING PAGES OF ENTRIES POSTED BY OTHER TITAN OWNERS, I FOUND OUT I WAS NOT ALONE. NISSAN NEEDS TO HELP PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS! *KB
