ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
RELAY FUSES(BLACK) BLOWS OUT DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS MAINLY. EVERYTHING STOPS. IT GIVES A WARNING WHERE TRUCK MISSES OR JERKS. DASHBOARD GOES CRAZY. LIGHTS BLINK OFF AND ON. ONCE FUSES ARE REPLACED, IT HAS TO RESET BEFORE IT STARTS. IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS OF THESE ISSUES. REPLACED ENTIRE BOX, BUT IT DOES THE SAME THING. AT CANNON NISSAN, JACKSON, MS PARTS DEPT. WE WERE TOLD THEY SELL A LOT OF FUSES FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE LIGHTS SIGNAL TURNS ON AND A LIGHT GRINDING NOISE CAN BE HEARD AND BRAKES GO OUT. I HAVE TO STOP FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TURN OFF MY TRUCK. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I TURN ON THE TRUCK AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURNS OFF AND MY BRAKES START WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN TWICE. THANK GOD THAT THE TIMES IT HAS HAPPEN THERE HAS BEEN HARDLY ANY TRAFFIC. ALTHOUGH, ONE DAY IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY SO I CALMED DOWN, RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL AND CRUISED TO THE NEXT EXIT AND PULLED INTO A GAS STATION. ALL THIS TIME THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR IS FULL SO AFTER TURNING OFF THE TRUCK AND TURNING IT BACK ON AGAIN, THAT SOLVES THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO TAKE VACATIONS ON THE TRUCK AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT LIKE THIS, ESPECIALLY WITH MY THREE KIDS IN THE BACK. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I HAVE IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT JUST STAYS ON AND FLASHING. I'VE TRIED HAVING IT RESET BUT IT DOESN'T WORK. WE HAVE A 2007 NISSAN ARMADA ALSO AND IT HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS MY TITAN. WE THOUGHT THAT BY BUYING NISSAN WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES, BUT WE WERE WRONG.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE MECHANISM THAT GOES TO THE AIR CONDITIONER REMAINS ON AFTER THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN FAST. IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MANY TIMES EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WINDSHIELD WASHER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING. NOW WHEN THE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE BAD THE VISIBILITY IS DRASTICALLY LOWERED. THE MORE I RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM AND THE ONE WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER NOT SHUTTING OFF THE MORE I NOTICE THAT THESE ARE WIDE SPREAD AND VERY COMMON ISSUES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY THE REAR CONSOLE WHICH CONTAINS THE REAR INTERIOR LIGHTS FELL DOWN. NOW THE FRONT OVERHEAD CONSOLE IS FALLING , NOT FALLEN ALL THE WAY, BUT RIGHT SIDE IS ALREADY LOSE. IT WILL NOT BE LONG THAT THE FRONT WILL FALL , WHEN IT DOES I HOPE IT IS STATIONARY SO THAT MY WIFE, DAUGHTER OR MYSELF WHO EVER IS DRIVING WILL NOT BE HIT BY THE FALLING CONSOLE AND POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT HARMING MY OTHER DAUGHTER AND SON, OR ANYONE ELSE THAT COULD BE IN HARMS WAY, AS A RESULT OF THIS POOR QUALITY PLASTIC USED MAKING THESE CONSOLES. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSANUSA ABOUT THIS AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THEY ' UNFORTUNATELY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING DUE TO THE VEHICLES MILEAGE ' I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS FAULTY PLASTIC. WHEN THE FRONT CONSOLE FALLS IT WILL LEAVE MY WIFE , DAUGHTER AND MYSELF IN THE DARK, WITH NO INTERIOR LIGHTING!!!

SERVICE BRAKES
FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELING "SPONGY" AND OCCASIONALLY GOING TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ANY REDUCTION IN SPEED. THE BRAKE PEDAL PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE AND CULMINATED WHEN I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND TRIED TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO SLOWER TRAFFIC. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO SWERVE INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO KEPT IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. HE REPLACED SEVERAL BRAKE COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS, MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE BOOSTER, AND THE ABS MODULE. HE THEN BLED THE BRAKE LINES MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THE BRAKE PEDAL BACK TO ITS NORMAL RANGE. ALL OF THIS WORKED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND THEN THE PROBLEM RETURNED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER ON JANUARY 31, 2018 AND HAD THE FOLLOWING DONE. THEY PERFORMED ANOTHER BRAKE FLUSH, CLEANED AND ADJUSTED THE REAR CALIPERS, AND CLEANED AND LUBRICATED THE SLIDES AND PAD CONTACTS. I PICKED THE TRUCK UP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT LIKE NEW. IT HAS NOW BEEN A LITTLE OVER THREE MONTHS AND THE BRAKE PEDAL IS GRADUALLY FALLING TOWARDS THE FLOOR DURING BRAKING, SIMILAR TO PAST EXPERIENCE. BRAKING DISTANCES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION HAVE INCREASED AND THE BRAKING POWER DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THERE ANYMORE.

AIR BAGS
THE TITAN WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON CITY STREET AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS INTERSECTION. IMPACT WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND BOTH VEHICLES SUSTAINED HEAVY DAMAGE. DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT THERE WAS WHITE SMOKE AND SMELL OF GUN POWDER INSIDE THE TRUCK JUST AFTER COLLISION. NO VISUAL SIGNS OF ANY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. NO OTHER VERIFICATION, BUT SEEMS POSSIBLE A CHARGE IGNITED BUT FAILED TO INFLATE A BAG OR OTHER FAILURE. STRAIGHT FRONT IMPACT AT 45 SEEMS LIKE PRIME PARAMETERS TO INFLATE BAG. POLICE REPORT: 2/21/18 PLANO TEXAS REPORT# 2018-32397 PICTURES INCLUDED TO SHOW DAMAGE FROM IMPACT. *TT UPDATED 10/1/18*JB

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE BACK TWO DOOR LATCHES DO NOT OPEN UNTILLED JIGGLED OR CONTINUALLY VIBRATED. THIS WOULD NOT ALLOW THE DOORS TO BE OPENED IN THE EVENT OF A EMERGENCY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO BE REPAIRED BUT TO NO AVAIL. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHILE TRYING TO OPEN DOORS. ITS THIS A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THE OCCUPANTS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE DURING A CRITICAL TIME?
