ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ROUTING OF MAIN REAR WIRING HARNESS THROUGH THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WELL EXPOSES HARNESS TO ROAD DEBRIS, SAND, WATER, SALT, SNOW, ICE, ETC. WHICH DEGRADES THE HARNESS PREMATURELY CAUSING AND ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE HARNESS. THE SHORT IN THE HARNESS CAUSED THE WIRE INSULATION TO CATCH FIRE AND MELT ALL ELECTRICAL INSULATING MATERIAL AND THE HARNESS JACKET. THE HARNESS SHORT, IN-TURN SHORTED OUT THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) CAUSING THE FAILURE OF ALL SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY THE BCM (LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, BRAKE LIGHTS, HAZARD LIGHTS, ETC.) *LN

I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY TRUCK,HAVE HAD IT SINCE IT WAS NEW. WAS GOING DOWN TOWN, STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, STARTED TO GO, TURN, AND IT MADE THIS AWFUL LOUD NOISE IN THE BACK. WHEN I STOPPED, IT DID IT AGAIN, WHEN I WENT TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE, IT ACTED AS IF IT DIDNT WANT TO MOVE. I CHECKED THE WHEEL AND THEY WERE ALL OK IT WAS DARK AND I COULDNT SEE UNDER IT. LEFT THERE, AND THE NOISE WAS GETTING WORSE. WENT STRAIGHT HOME WHICH WAS ABOUT 6 MILES. THE NEXT MORNING I GOT UP AND CALLED NISSAN AND THEY COULDNT GET IT IN UNTIL 5 DAYS LATER, I TOLD THEM THERE WAS SOMETHING REALLY WRONG. GOT IN THE TRUCK AND WAS GOING TO LES SCHWAB TO SEE IF THEY COULD CHECK IT. STOPPED TO GET ME A COFFEE, BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, THE TRUCK ACTED AS IF IT DIDNT WANT TO MOVE, SOUNDED AND FELT AS IF THE BACK TIRES WERE TRYING TO LOCK UP. I CALLED NISSAN BACK BECAUSE I NEEDED TO MAKE APPT TO GET SERVICE DONE ANYWAY. THE GUY AT NISSAN SAID THEY HAD A CANCELATION AND TO BRING THE TRUCK IN. I TOOK THE BACK ROADS, WORRIED SOMETHING MIGHT REALLY HAPPEN IF I TOOK THE FREEWAY, SO I TOOK IT SLOW, ALL THE WAY THE NOISE WAS GETTING WORSE. I GOT TO NISSAN, THE GUY PULLED IT UP IN THE BAY, AND IT MADE THE NOISE, REALLY LOUD. HE GOT OUT SAID SOMETHING REALLY WRONG. THE REAR AXLE HAD BROKE INSIDE IN LITTLE PIECES. $2800 TO FIX IT. WAS SO UPSET, NO FAMILY TO BORROW A CAR, NO MONEY TO FIX IT. THE GUY AT NISSAN TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY,WOULD CALL NISSAN CORP MONDAY SEE WHAT HE COULD DO. HE AGREED THAT THE WAY I TAKE CARE OF MY TRUCK AND THE MILES ON IT, SHOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED. ALSO THE SEALS WERE LEAKING. I WENT ON LINE AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE REAR AXLE,SEALS, DIFFERENTAL BREAKING ON THE 04, 05, AND 06 TITANS GUY AT NISSAN TOLD ME THAT AFTER A FEW YEARS OF BUILDING TITANS THEY HAD TO TOTALLLY REBUILD THE REAR AXLE AND I WOULD HAVE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ONE. NISSAN SHOULD STEP UP.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE REAR AXLE IS LEAKING ALL OVER THE REAR BRAKES CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. IT COULD CAUSE BRAKING FAILURE OR A FIRE IN THE REAR BRAKES. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET BUT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN IF SOMEONE OWNING THIS VEHICLE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE REAR AXLE WAS LEAKING. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I HAVE NISSAN TITAN 4 DOOR 4X4, LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, IT SEEMS THAT WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS THE DOOR LOCKS GET LAZY AND WHEN I ENGAGE THE REMOTE TO LOCK OR UNLOCK YOU CAN HEAR THEM CLICKING A BUNCH OF TIMES BUT NEVER ACTUALLY UNLOCKING DOOR SO THAT I CAN GET IN. SOMETIMES AS I AM DRIVING IF I ROLL DOWN ANY WINDOW AND BACK UP IT WILL MAKE THE LOCKING NOISES DESCRIBED. THEN WHEN I STOP VEHICLE, PUT IN PARK, KEY OUT OF IGNITION, THE DRIVER DOOR LOCK STAYS LOCKED WHILE THE OTHERS UNLOCK. MY TRUCK HAS ROUGHLY 40,000 MILES ON IT. ITS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 X AND THEY HAVE WITNESSED THE ISSUE, CLAIM THEY FIXED IT, AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER. CALL ME STRANGE, BUT IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON THE COLDEST DAYS AND GETS BETTER WHEN WARMER. WHAT REALLY FREAKED ME OUT WAS THAT I HAD A CHILD IN THE TRUCK ONE TIME AND I COULD NOT GET THE DOORS BACK OPEN TO GET IN. BASICALLY THE DOORS WHERE STUCK SHUT AS I PANICKED PUSHED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE REMOTE BUT YOU COULD HEAR THE DOOR LOCKS MECHANISM MAKING NOISE BUT JUST AS QUICK AS IT WOULD UNLOCK, IT WOULD LOCK WRITE BACK UP AGAIN. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AND THE DEALER CAN'T EVEN FIGURE IT OUT. IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH MURANS, TITAN, ALTIMAS, ALL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NO CURE JUST IDEAS ON HOW TO FIX. NEED RECALL!!! *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN HE DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DOWN SHIFT OR UP SHIFT. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE WOULD CHANGE GEARS BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE FAILURE WOULD ONLY OCCUR WHEN DRIVING UP OR DOWNHILL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR THE FAILURE AND HE WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, TRANSMISSION HOSE AND THE RADIATOR, BUT THE REPAIRS DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED AND THERE WERE NO FAILURES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT WHEN DRIVING UP OR DOWNHILL FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THE MANUAL SHIFT BUTTON SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING. IT FAILS TO ENGAGE THE MANUAL SHIFTING MODE FOR THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSES EXCESSIVE RPM IN THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE LOW CONFIGURATION. A LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE DEALER REVIEWED THE ISSUE AND OFFERED A FIX THAT WAS NOT GUARANTEED TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. THE INITIAL FIX WAS ESTIMATED TO BE APPROXIMATELY $500. *LN

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

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN AND IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR HANDLE CABLES FREEZING UP. IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND IF THE DOOR IS OPENED, IT WILL NOT CLOSE SECURELY. I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE TRUCK BUT THE DOOR CAME OPEN AS I WAS DRIVING. LUCKILY, I ALWAYS WEAR MY SEAT BELT OR IT COULD HAVE GOTTEN VERY UGLY. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON JAN 4, 2011 AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD REPLACE THE CABLES FOR ABOUT $400 PER DOOR SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. APPARENTLY IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM ON TITANS SINCE 2004 AND HAS NEVER BEEN CORRECTED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE LOSSES THEIR LIFE. THANK YOU. *TR
