I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN, I DO NOT TOW ANYTHING WITH IT AND I DO NO OFF ROAD DRIVING. IN 2009 WITH 65,000 MILES MY REAR END STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE. I TOOK IT IN TO DEALER TO GET LOOKED AT. DEALER TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $2600.00 TO PUT NEW ONE IN. ALSO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO WARRANTY WAS UP JUST 5,000MILES AGO. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN HAS BEEN LEAKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL FROM BOTH AXLE SEALS. THE FLUID HAS BEEN THROWN AROUND IN THE WHEEL WELLS AND HAS SOAKED ALL FOUR REAR BRAKE SETS IT HAS GREATLY INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE AND I FEEL THE FAULTY PARTS SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN AS WELL AS NEW BRAKES, SERVICE AND EMERGENCY. RECENTLY MY GIRLFRIEND PARKED AND LEFT THE VEHICLE NEUTRAL WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON. THE TRUCK THEN ROLLED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AND HIT A TREE 5 FEET FROM MY DAUGHTERS SWINGSET! I FEEL THAT THE REASON IT ROLLED AWAY IS BECAUSE OF THE OIL ON THE BRAKE SHOES. NOT ONLY DO I NEED TO REPLACE ALL REAR BRAKES AND THE AXLE SEALS BUT NOW ALSO A REAR BUMPER AND HAVE MY LEFT REAR QUARTER PANEL REPAIRED. *TR

SEAT BELTS
THE REAR SEATBELTS ON MY 2011 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB LOCK UP WHILE THERE IS PASSENGERS IN THE REAR SEAT. THEY ARE CAUSING THEM TO BECOME SO UNCOMFORTABLE THAT I HAVE TO STOP AND LET THEM RESET THE BELTS, UNBUCKLING AND RELATCHING. THIS WORKS FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THE PROCEDURE STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. THE NISSAN DEALER SAID THEY CANNOT REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID "THIS IS FOR CHILD SEAT RESTRAINTS". I'M CARRYING ADULTS, NOT CHILDREN AND THESE ADULTS ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO CONTINUE ON WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
WHILE DRIVING KID'S TO SCHOOL ONE MORNING TRUCK LOCKED UP WHEELS AND SKIDDED THROUGH TRAFFIC FOR COUPLE 100FT FROM 35MPH OR SO. GOT OUT OF CAR AND COULD SEE THAT SOMETHING IN LEFT FRONT SUSPENSION HANGING OUT AND SOME KIND OF FLUID EVERYWHERE. INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSED ME TOO CRASH AND ALSO STRANDED MYSELF AND KIDS. CAR WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC AS I COULD DO NOTHING TO GET CAR TO MOVE, ALSO ASSUMED WAS NOT TO SAFE TO TRY AND DRIVE. AFTER DIAGNOSING WAS TOLD THAT LEFT FRONT AXLE FLANGE HAD FELL OUT OF FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND WOULD NEED THE ENTIRE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED WITH LEFT FRONT AXLE AS WELL WHICH GOT CAUGHT IN SUSPENSION AND LOCKED UP WHEELS. COST ON REPAIRS WOULD RUN AROUND $2000.00. SERVICE WRITER ADVISED THAT SHOULD BE OR POSSIBLY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS TRUCK HAS 6 YEAR 60,000 MILE WARRANTY ON POWER TRAIN. TRUCK HAS 64,872 AND IS A 2004. CALLED 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND ALL SAID NO DUE TO 4800 MILES OVER, BUT THAT I COULD DROP OFF AND THEY WOULD GLADLY REPAIR AND SEE IF NISSAN WOULD DO ANYTHING. WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT AS MOST VISITS TO DEALERSHIP ALWAYS ENDED UP SAME WAY. " SORRY WE COULDN'T HELP HERE'S YOUR BILL ". NOT HAPPY WITH THIS WHOLE THING CHECKED UP ON THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND ARE 1000'S OF COMPLAINT'S FOR THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND HOW IT OCCURS ALL OVER INTERNET, LEMONLAW SITE, FORUMS AND ALSO HERE AT NHTSA. AFTER HAVING TRUCK REPAIRED AT LOCAL SHOP ALSO FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS DESIGNED A ENTIRE NEW DIFFERENTIAL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. ALTHOUGH WHEN I SPOKE TO THESE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THE SORT. THE PARTS DEPARTMENT HAD NO PROBLEM GIVING THIS INFORMATION TO THE MECHANIC AT MY SHOP THAT PERFORMED REPAIRS. IT SEEMS A BIT SCARY THAT NOT ONLY DOES THE DEALERSHIP AND OR MANUFACTURER KNOW ABOUT THIS, BUT ALSO GOVERNMENT AND TRAFFIC/HIGHWAY SAFETY PEOPLE AND YET WE JUST KEEP DRIVING AROUND WITH OUR FAMILIES AND LOVED ONE'S TRUSTING THESE VEHICLE'S BECAUSE NO ONE IS TELLING US DIFFERENT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY
I LIVE IN THE COLD NORTHEAST AND HAVE TO WARM MY VEHICLE BEFORE I DRIVE TO WORK. MY TRUCK IS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN SE WITH 79K MILES ON IT. I BRUSHED THE VEHICLE OFF AND STARTED IT TURNING THE DEFROSTER TO HIGH AND TURNING ON THE SIDE MIRROR DEFROSTERS AS WELL. I WENT BACK INSIDE TO GRAB THE REST OF MY STUFF FOR WORK AND WAS INSIDE FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES. WHEN I CAME BACK OUTSIDE I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY TRUCK ON FIRE. FIRE ENGULFED THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR AND THE DRIPPING PLASTIC WAS BURNING UP THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I RETURNED INSIDE AND GRABBED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE FIRE OUT. LUCKILY MY VEHICLE WAS FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THE GARAGE AS TO NOT BE A CONCERN AS TO BURNING DOWN MY HOUSE. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THE MIRROR DEFROST SWITCH WAS STILL ACTIVE AND HAD NOT TRIPPED ANY FUSES. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. THIS JUST HAPPENED THIS MORNING AND I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE TROUBLE AS YET. THE MIRROR OF COURSE IS TOTALLY DESTROYED AND THE PAINT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS DAMAGED. I AM WRITING THIS OUT OF CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC AS THIS COULD HAVE EASILY EVOLVED INTO A FULL BLOWN HOUSE FIRE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
2004 NISSAN TITAN - KNOW ISSUE WITH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT LEAK. THIS LEAK OR CRACK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAUSES THE ENGINE COMPUTER TO RUN FULL RICH ALL THE TIME. THIS CREATES AN UNSAFE CONDITION INSIDE THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE WITH NOXIOUS EXHAUST FUMES AND HEALTH CONCERNS. NOT TO MENTION THE FUEL MILEAGE IS ALMOST CUT IN HALF AS I HAVE CALCULATED. MY TRUCK WILL BE ON IT'S THIRD SET OF MANIFOLDS. THE FIRST TWO SETS OF REPLACEMENTS WERE COVERED UNDER THE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANT UP TO 80K MILES BUT THAT HAS EXPIRED AT THIS POINT. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND FROM INFORMATION I HAVE GATHERED THE HAVE UPDATED THE DESIGN OF THE MANIFOLDS. I MIGHT ADD THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ARE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THESE MANIFOLDS. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH EXHAUST FUMES CONSTANTLY ENTERING INSIDE THIS CAB - I DRIVE TO WORK WITH HEADACHES AND NAUSEA AND BURNING EYES EVERY DAY! *TR
