FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOING 75 IN MY 2004 TITAN. ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST ALL POWER AND THE TRUCK WENT DEAD. MY FUEL GAUGE WAS AT A 1/4 TANK SO I THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. FOUND OUT THE NEXT DAY THAT MY TANK WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY AND THE GAUGE WAS WRONG. VERY DANGEROUS!!! *TR

DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD WHEN I FELT AN ODD VIBRATION COMING FROM UNDER MY FEET. PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY TO SEE THAT MY AXLE SHAFT HAS PULLED OUT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE HOME I RESEARCHED ONLINE TO FIND HUNDREDS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL ON THESE TRUCKS IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE A SAFETY ISSUE UNTIL THEY DECIDE TO RECALL THE PROBLEM. NISSAN DEFINITELY KNOWS THIS DIFFERENTIAL IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THE ENGINE. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET INJURED! *TR

MY REAR END ON MY TITAN BEGAN GRINDING WHEN TURNING. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A DEFECT ON THE FIRST MODELS OF THE TITAN AND NISSAN WILL NOT REPORT A RECALL ON THEM. IF THESE REAR ENDS LOCK UP WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR WHILE TOWING A TRAILER, PEOPLE'S LIVES COULD BE LOST. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS AFFECTED SUCH A VAST POPULATION OF TITAN OWNERS. FURTHERMORE, NISSAN ONLY OFFERS A FULL REAR END REPLACEMENT AT THE LOW PRICE OF $2,500. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS! A RECALL MUST BE ISSUED BEFORE MORE LIVES ARE PUT INTO JEOPARDY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
VEHICLE WOULD START TO MAKE LOUD NOISE WHEN BRAKING, AND THEN BRAKES WOULD STOP WORKING ALTOGETHER. THE FIRST FEW INCIDENTS IN THE PAST YEAR BECAUSE WE WERE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED WE COULD COAST TO A STOP. TURN OFF ENGINE, AND THEN TURN BACK ON. PROBLEM WENT AWAY UNTIL NEXT INCIDENT. WE JUST COMPLETED A FACTORY REPAIR COSTING JUST UNDER $1400 AND IT WAS TO REPLACE A MECHANISM THAT WAS FAILING TO DELIVER THE SIGNAL, OR FLUID (I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS VERY WELL ENOUGH TECHNICALLY) TO MAKE THE BRAKES STOP. THE PARTS WERE OVER $600 AND LABOR ALSO OVER $600. WHILE VEHICLE IS 10 YEARS OLD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT ISSUE AND NOT WEAR AND TEAR. I'VE READ THAT THIS IS A REPORTED ISSUE WITH NHTSB SO I WANTED TO FILE ALSO. *TR

DRIVING THE TRUCK ON SNOW COVERED ROAD, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM FAILED TO WORK. ONLY REAR TIRES WERE DRIVING, CAUSING UNSAFE CONDITION ON A ROAD THAT REQUIRED FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. INVESTIGATION FOUND THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED, WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES OF THIS VINTAGE. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, CITING 'OUT OF WARRANTY'.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING THE SLIP, VDC AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALL ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK EVENTUALLY DID STOP BUT I CAME CLOSE TO HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE READ AND RESEARCHED THOROUGHLY ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN CALIFORNIA REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR WHERE I HAVE ALMOST COMPLETELY LOST MY BRAKES. NISSAN NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM MAY BE A DELTA STROKE SENSOR THAT IS HOUSED WITHIN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I HAVE NOT REPLACE THIS YET AS I AM NOT SURE IF THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM AND IT IS QUITE EXPENSIVE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE OUT THERE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE BRAKE ON MY 04 NISSAN TITAN WOULD QUIT WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT PULSATED AND SEEMED TO HAVE NO BRAKE. ALL THE SERVICE LIGHTS WENT ON. I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE BRAKE AT ALL. VERY SCARY FEELING. I HAD TO PULL OVER THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. IT HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW IN 04 AND STILL HAVE IT NOW 2013. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 5-7 TIMES EVERY YEAR. NISSAN NEEDS TO OWN UP TO IT AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GOT KILLED AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE A BIG LAWSUIT IN THEIR HANDS. *TR
