SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR FOR THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS FOR THE FRONT TIRES. THE VEHICLE WORKED NORMALLY FOR A YEAR AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, BUT THE FAILURE EVENTUALLY RECURRED. THIS TEMPORARILY REMEDIED THE ISSUE FOR 15,000 MILES. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THIS FAILURE SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING TO A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT USED EVERYDAY, SO HE BELIEVES THE FAILURE IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED FOR A SECOND TIME. CURRENTLY, THE ROTORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 5/26/09 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AND NEW PADS WERE INSTALLED. UPDATED 05/28/09.*JB

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION:REAR
RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 8000 MILES NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL. NISSAN REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

SEAT BELTS
THE REAR SEAT SEAT-BELTS OF MY NISSAN TITAN TRUCK WILL TIGHTEN INTO A LOCKED POSITION CAUSING THE PASSENGER TO BECOME IMMOBILIZED AGAINST THE SEAT BACK. THE ONLY WAY TO UNDO THE LOCKED SEAT-BELT IS TO COMPLETELY DISENGAGE IT, AND THEN RE-LOCK IT. HOWEVER, IT'S THEN JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT LOCKS UP AGAIN FORCING THE PASSENGER TO UNLOCK IT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD, BECAUSE THE PASSENGER HAS TO UNDO THEIR SEAT-BELT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION SO THEY CAN MOVE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SEAT BELTS ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIX THEM. I HAVE VERIFIED WITH OTHER 2006 NISSAN TITAN OWNERS AND THEY HAVE NOTED THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE NISSAN DEALER ADMITTED THEY HAVE HAD OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO REDESIGN THE REAR SEAT BELTS OR USE DIFFERENT TYPES THAT WON'T TIGHTEN AND LOCK UP WHEN PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY SITTING IN THEM, WHICH CREATES THIS SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I ALWAYS INSIST THAT ANYONE RIDING WITH ME USE THE SEAT BELTS, BUT I HAVE NOTED ON OCCASION THAT SOME HAVE RELEASED THEM WITHOUT TELLING ME, BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT HAD LOCKED UP ON THEM, CAUSING TOO MUCH DISCOMFORT. MAYBE YOU CAN GET NISSAN TO CORRECT THIS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY WON'T LISTEN TO ME (THEY SIMPLY REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT WITH A SIMILAR DEFECTIVE ONE). *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
THE DRIVER SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE CAME APART AT THE WELD AND THE BACK OF THE LEAF SPRING PUNCHED UP THROUGH THE BED OF MY TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WAS NOT ACCOMPANIED BY ANY LOUD NOISE OR ANY INDICATION THAT SOMETHING HAD GONE DRASTICALLY WRONG. THIS IS A 4X4, OFF-ROAD/WORK TRUCK. THESE SHACKLES SHOULD NEVER BREAK, LET ALONE ONLY AFTER 3 WINTERS. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I ALSO FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE IS SHOWING SIGNS OF STRESS AND CRACKING. I HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND HAVEN'T HEARD ANY INFO FROM THEM EITHER. I HAVE HAD TRUCK TOWED OUT OF NISSAN DEALER AND HAVE OBTAINED SOME HEAVY-DUTY AFTERMARKET SHACKLES WHICH I PLAN TO INSTALL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TRAVELED TO SYRACUSE, NY WITH FRIEND SON SUNDAY 2-22-09. NOTICED BRAKE NOISE AND WEAK BRAKING POWER. ON RETURN TO HOME IN EVENING, HAD NEAR ACCIDENT DUE TO BAD BRAKING. TOOK TRUCK TO NISSAN DEALER 2-24-09. DEALER SAID TRUCK OUT OF WARRANTY (11,868 MILES)HAD IT REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE MORE. THE PROBLEM IS TYPICAL OF THIS TRUCK DUE TO LIGHT USE. I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH DANGEROUS BRAKING POWER SINCE THE TRUCK IS NEARLY NEW. I ASKED NISSAN FOR A REFUND FOR THE REPAIR OF $ 1116.77 WHICH THEY CLAIMED WAS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THEY SHOULD NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE HAS A BAD ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS DEFECT IS CORRECTED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
MY 06 TITAN 4WD HAD JUST HAD REPAIRS TO THE TRANSMISSION DONE 2-3 DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. MY TRUCK HAD BEEN RUNNING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE AC AND RADIO GOING FOR SOME TIME WHILE I WAS DOING VARIOUS CLEANING AND OTHER STUFF OUTSIDE. I WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT COOLING OFF WITH MY EYES CLOSED WHEN MY NEIGHBOR CAME RUNNING OUT SCREAMING THAT MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE HOOD FLAMES WERE VISIBLE AND SMOKE. SHE CALLED THE FIRE DEPT WHILE I USED THE HOSE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE THE BEST I COULD UNTIL THE FIRE DEPT ARRIVED. A NISSAN REP INVESTIGATED THE FIRE AND SAID IT WAS NOT THE COMPANY PROBLEM. SHORTLY LATER I RECEIVE THE RECALL CONCERNING THE AC UNIT AND THAT IT MAY LEAD TO FIRE. WE HAD NO INSURANCE AT THE TIME BUT IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IS THIS LEGAL? *TR

VISIBILITY
I OWN A 2006 NISSAN TITAN P/U AND THROUGH THE YEARS I NOTICED SOME RUST ON MY REAR BUMPER. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECK BEFORE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT IT'S FROM THE RUBBER STRIP THAT IS PLACED ON THE BUMPER AND THAT WHEN YOU STEP ON IT TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE BED IT TENDS TO MOVE AND SCRATCH THE BUMPER AND THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE RUST. I TOLD THE MANAGER I BARELY USE THE BUMPER SO HOW CAN THAT BE THE CAUSE. I ASKED IF THIS IS COVERED SINCE IT'S THE FAULT OF THE RUBBER STRIP AND THE WAY IS WAS PLACED ON THE BUMPER, AND HIS ANSWER WAS NO AND THAT THEY WOULD ONLY COVER IT IF IT WAS ROTTED THROUGH. I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND BY THE TIME IT DOES ROT THROUGH MY WARRANTY WOULD BE EXPIRED. I FEEL THIS IS THE FAULT OF NISSAN FOR NOT USING THE PROPER MATERIAL OR APPLICATION, SO WHY SHOULD I PAY THE PRICE FOR THEIR MISTAKES? I HOPE YOU CAN DIRECT ME ON HOW I CAN RESOLVE THIS MATTER. *TR THANK YOU MR. ALLEN NEALY

I CONTINUE TO HAVE A CONSTANT WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL UNIT AT 55 & 60 MPH. THE UNIT WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT 29335 MILES BECAUSE IT WAS WHINING AT 55 MPH. THE NEW UNIT WAS QUIT WHEN NEW BUT NOW IS AS LOUD AS THE PREVIOUS ONE AT 60MPH. THIS SOUND IS ANNOYING & NEVER GOES AWAY WHILE DRIVING THESE SPEEDS. I AM CONCERNED IT IS A DESIGN FLAW & WILL EITHER FAIL WHEN IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY OR CAUSE ME TO BE STRANDED. I HEAR A LOT ABOUT AXLE SEAL LEAKS & DIFF. UNITS FAILING ON THE TITANS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE TRUCK IS APPROX. 35K. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE SHACKLE BLEW APART RESULTING IN THE SPRING ALMOST BREAKING THOUGH THE BED METAL. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEED ON A CURVE I FEEL THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE NEGATIVE. I TAKE EXCEPTIONAL CARE OF MY TRUCK AND DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED LOADS OR TOWING LIMITS. I'VE OWNED SEVEN DIFFERENT TRUCKS IN MY LIFETIME AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY INCIDENT LIKE THIS HAPPEN. I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE A GOOD, HARD LOOK AT THE TYPE OF MATERIALS AND DESIGN INVOLVED IN THIS BRACKET, AS IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BROKEN ON A 3 YEAR OLD TRUCK, DRIVEN ON-ROAD WITH 58,000 MILES ON IT. I FIND THIS TO BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR
