2004 Nissan Titan Extended Cab

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would suddenly stall with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who could not determine the cause of the failure. The contact performed a diagnostic test and determined that the engine control module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The contact was informed that the vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 10V517000 (Engine). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 255,000.

My Titan is a 4 door not 2, also I am not sure if these recalls I saw are related to the problems I am having but my light indicator (as in the pictures I provided) has come on twice I immediately turn it off and I wait for the engine to cool it gets really hot but it doesn't indicate any over heating on the dash indicators (it might just be me but it seems hot enough to be overheating) and once cooled i check the fluids and refill the oil as needed (coolant level been fine) but this has happened to me now 2 times in a 3 day period so I believe there is a leak. Also about my shifter I'm not sure if this applies but I have the shifter you can switch to manual (I've never switch to manual bc I don't know how to drive manual) but I have an issue with it just in automatic sometimes when I shift from park to drive it doesn't seem to switch from park to drive and the vehicle stays in the parked position while the shift is in drive and I have to shift back to park wait a second and then shift back into drive a second time before I get the truck into driving mode. I added some pictures of recalls that are for my year make and model truck that seem like the same issues I'm dealing with and wasn't sure if they applied to my vehicle and just got missed with the amount of owners it's had

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle and depressing the brake pedal, the pedal travel distance was extended, and the vehicle would not immediately stop. After turning off and restarting the vehicle, the vehicle operated as designed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. No service was performed. The failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.

I purchased this truck on 04/05/18 from Harbor motors Lihue Kauai, and not even a week into having this truck it started acting up, overheating, the truck wouldn't turn over, suspensions, the four-wheel-drive wouldn't disengage, when you turn the key to start the vehicle it would make a clicking noise before starting, the AC would work when it wanted to, and the transmission and engine started knocking. The next week I went running errands and when I pulled out of my yard the truck started jerking then pressed the gas and it revved really high before slamming into drive. Since then I haven't driven the truck. And today it looks like someone just smashed into the front driver light to the side and smashed it while being parked at the place I purchased the truck from. I've continuously asked for help with little to no help at all. The truck is no longer drivable and I'm still making payments on it. The lights on the dashboard has the Check enigine light on, snd the ABS

WHILE DRIVING FOR 20 MINUTES AND I'D SAY 25 MILES PER HOUR, MY TRUCK JUST STALLS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WORKING, BUT NO ENGINE POWER! THE TRUCK JUST STOP RUNNING. IN MY ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE ENGINE THE STARTER WILL TURN BUT NO START. I AM NOW STRANDED IN TRAFFIC AND IF IT WAS NOT FOR GOOD SAMARITANS WHO HELP ME PUSH THE TRUCK TO THE CURB. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. I'VE REPLACED MY BATTERY AND IT DIED FOR SECOND TIME! THANKFULLY I WAS ON THE CITY STREET BOTH TIMES. BOTH TIMES I WAITED AWHILE TRIED TO START UP WITH NO SUCCESS, BUT IT STARTED ONLY AFTERWARDS GETTING A JUMP START!? THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW AND THE HOPE OF FINDING THE ANSWER IS WEBSITES AT LEASE IN THE HOPES OF SOME ANSWER AND DIRECTIONS. EVE SINCE REPLACED THE BATTERY I'

THE VEHICLE BRAKES FREQUENTLY GO OUT AND START TO SHAKE AND MAKE A SPRINGY NOISE WHEN YOU PUSH DOWN ON THEM AND THE BRAKES LOSE POWER AND CANNOT BE APPLIED SAFELY. THIS MAY LEAD TO A CRASH AND NISSAN CANNOT DIAGNOSE THIS WITH CERTAINTY SO INTERVENTION FROM NHTSA IS NEEDED. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE IS A POSSIBLE FAULTY DELTA COMPUTER SENSOR AND/OR BRAKE BOOSTER THAT NISSAN CANNOT PROBLEM SOLVE VERY WELL. THIS PROBLEM COULD OR HAS LED TO CRASHES WHEN YOU CANNOT APPLY THE BRAKES AT SPEED. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. PLEASE PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS SO THAT WAY THERE ARE NO CRASHES THAT CAN INJURY MY FAMILY OR OTHERS.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY AIRBAG/SEATBELT AND IT SINCE HAS GONE OUT AFTER BEING FIXED, BUT THEY SAID THAT IT WAS PAST THE WARRANTY. I HAD THOUGHT THAT AIRBAGS ARE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE PARTS.

SAME TIMES LOSING BRAKES BRAKE PEDAL VERY SPONGE SOFT AND HARDLY NO BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR AND THE SAME TIME MAKES FUN NOISE AND BRAKE LIGHT GO ON .WHEN THIS HAPPENS SUN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP I TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND I START IGNITION AGAIN AND IT GET BACK TO NORMAL I BEN HAVE THIS PROBLEM FOR A LIST 12 YEARS I THINK THIS HAPPENS A LIST ONCE A MONTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE CV AXLE LOCATED ON THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD YET TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED HIM THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000.

THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE SO I'M OFFICIALLY REPORTING. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 16 YEARS. IN THAT TIME, I'VE REPEATEDLY HAD ISSUES WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM AT DIFFERENT TIMES STARTING IN 2006, BUT DEFINITELY IN 2009. I'VE BROUGHT IT UP WITH DEALERS IN BOTH SACO, ME & WAKE FOREST, NC. EACH TIME THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. FINALLY AFTER THE LAST TIME THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS A BULLETIN ABOUT THE COMPUTER NEEDING AN UPDATE. WHICH COST MULTIPLE HUNDREDS TO INSTALL. THIS INSTALL DEFINITELY DECREASED THE INCIDENTS OF MULTIPLE BRAKE FAILINGS WHILE DRIVING, BUT DIDN'T COMPLETELY FIX THE PROBLEM. I'M JUST NOW LEARNING THAT IT'S A FAULTY DELTA STROKE SENSOR IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO NISSAN FOR THE TITAN AND ARMADA MODELS. I NEVER GOT THE POSTCARD ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BUT IT WOULDN'T HAVE HELPED SINCE THEY NEVER IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE OR MAYBE EVEN HID IT FROM ME DURING MY VISITS. BECAUSE OF THIS I'M OUT OF THE WINDOW FOR THE LAWSUIT AND AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. MY '04 STILL ONLY HAS 78,000 MILES AND MULTIPLE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. NISSAN JUST HAD TO PAY 25 MILLION TO A FAMILY THAT WAS HIT BY ONE OF THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES, BUT STILL WILL NOT CLAIM THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DELTA SENSOR AND BRAKE BOOSTER. PLEASE MAKE THEM FIX THIS ISSUE TO SAVE LIVES AND PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY KNOW HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THE BOOSTER CAN BE RESET AND THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY, BUT TO DO THIS YOU HAVE TO STOP THE CAR WITH THE BRAKES FLUTTERING AND NOT RESPONDING. THEN YOU SHUT OFF THE CAR FOR 10 SECONDS AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS USUALLY FIXES THE ISSUE, BUT IT CAN RETURN AT ANY TIME. USUALLY WHEN YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN DRIVING FOR AWHILE. STARTED BACK IN 2006, BUT GOT WORSE IN 2009. COMPUTER FIX LESSENED ISSUE, BUT STILL OCCURS AT RANDOM TIMES.

1/ I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN TRUCK JUST SHUT DOWN . FUEL GAUGE READS THAT TRUCKHAS 1/4 TANK LEFT OF FUEL BUT GAS TANK EMPTY. 2/ WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR LIKE IT HAS NO BRAKES. I CHECK THE FLUIDS AND ITS FULL. TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND ON AND IT WORKS AGAIN . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS OR STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ECM RELAY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS THEN REFERRED TO NAPLES NISSAN (3640 PINE RIDGE RD, NAPLES, FL 34109, 239-300-2765. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL.

UNKNOWN,THE CEILING AIRBAGS AND FRONT SEATS AIRBAGS, SUDDENLY EXPLODED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AS A RESULT OF THIS MALFUNCTION, NO BODY WAS ON THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME. THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE USED, SINCE IT COMPROMISES THE SAFETY OF THE PERSON AND PASSENGERS AND THE DRIVING AND HANDLING OF THIS VEHICLE.*DT*JB

I WAS DIAGNOSING A METAL ON METAL SOUND COMING FROM MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE NISSAN TITAN AND FOUND THAT THE HALF SHAFT WAS COMING OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. I CALLED A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN UTAH AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH EARLY MODEL TITANS. THE TECH SAID HE HAD REPAIRED MANY TITANS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HE SAID IT WAS DUE TO A C CLIP THAT FAILS AND ALLOWS THE GEARS TO GET CHEWED UP IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY RECALLS ON THIS AND FOUND THERE HAD NOT BEEN. I THEN CALLED NISSAN TITAN AND THEY INFORMED ME OF THE SAME AND GUIDED ME TO THIS WEBSITE. THIS SEEM LIKE A HUGE ISSUE THAT EITHER NOT BEEN REPORTED. THIS SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD LEAVE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THIS FOR SNOWY AREAS OR OFFROADING IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION WHEN THEIR 4 WHEEL DRIVE FAILS OR LOCKS UP. IN CERTAIN AREAS IN UTAH, WE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE CHAINS OR 4 WHEEL DRIVE IN CERTAIN AREAS. WITH THE FAILURE OF A C CLIP AND THE GEARS GETTING CHEWED TO PIECES THIS SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD CAUSE HUGE SAFETY ISSUES, NOT TO MENTION COSTS TO CONSUMERS OVER A UNSOUND DESIGN.

I HAVE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT, BLINKING I SCAN IT AND THIS CODES CAME OUT B1081 AND B1019, ALSO ABS LIGHTS PUP UP TOO

WHILST DRIVING IN BAD WEATHER I HAD MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED. I WAS DRIVING 5 MILES AN HOUR ON A STRAIGHT GRAVEL ROAD, WHEN I STARTED HEARING A GRINDING NOISE. BEFORE I COULD GET STOPPED SAFELY TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS THERE WAS A LARGE THUD AND MY ENTIRE TRUCK SHOOK. IT WAS THEN POURING GEAR LUBRICANT OUT OF MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. AFTER TAKING THE TRUCK APART TO FIND THE DAMAGE I DISCOVERED THE AXLE SHAFT (NISSAN PART NO.: 38220-8S11A) HAD BEEN STRIPPED OF ITS SPLINES ON THE END. THE PART LOOKS AS IF IT WAS MACHINES PERFECTLY CYLINDRICAL. THE METAL SHAVINGS FROM THE SHAFT SLIGHTLY MARRED UP THE SEALS SO I REPLACED THE SEALS AND SHAFT, SPIDER GEARS SEEMED OKAY TO REUSE.

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING., I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK SINCE 2005, WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED BY NISSAN OF THIS RECALL, AND WHAT CAN I DO TO CORRECT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION?

IN JULY 2016, I APPEALED TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA FOR PAINT DEFECTS ON MY TRUCK. THE PAINT CONTINUES TO PEEL OFF . MY TRUCK IN PATCHES AND HAS HAD NO OTHER REPAIRS. I DID A PRESURSORY SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS OWNERS WITH PAINT DELAMINATING,PEELING OFF AND CHIPPING.I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AND THEY DENIED MY CLAIM STATING THAT IT WAS AATTACHED TO A PAST WARRANTY, BUT IT CLEARLY IS A LARGER ISSUE. I LOOKED AT THE CLUB NISSAN FORUM, AND CARCOMPLAINTS WEBSITE AND OTHERS ARE HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELTS FAILED TO RETRACT WHEN PROMPTED.

I WENT IN TO GET A TRUCK ON JULY 11TH... THEY HAD TO GET THE TRUCK STARTED BY JUMPING THE BATTERY THAT THEY SAID WOULD BE REPLACED. WHILE RUSHING US WITHOUT OFFERING A TEST DRIVE INSURRING THE TRUCK WAS SOUND AND MECHANICALLY STABLE. WE THEN DROVE OFF IN THE 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER. VRD ABS AND BRAKE AS WELL AS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE BRAKES THEN WENT OUT ON US AS WE REACHED OUT HOME. THE NEXT DAY WE INFORMED THEM OF WHAT HAPPENED, THEY SAID IT WAS JUST WATER ON THE BRAKES TO GIVE IT A DAY AND SEE WHAT IT DOES. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND WHEN WE TOOK IT BACK THEY SAID THE MECHANIC WAS GONE TO COME BACK. THATS WHEN WE NOTICED THE CARA REGISTRATION WAS FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE AND STARTED TO WONDER IF THEY HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO EMMISIONS AT ALL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OM SINCE WE LEFT THE LOT. BEFORE OUR FIRST PAYMENT I SPENT $900 ON PARTS HAD ROADSIDE CALLED 4 TIMES AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE TRUCK DIDNT LAST TO THE FIRST PAYMENT. COMPLETELY LOST ALL BRAKING POWER. THIS TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC THAT TOLD US IT WOULD NOT HAVE PASSED EMISSIONS WHEN WE GOT IT BECAUSE THE HISTORY ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHOWED IT WAS ONLY CLEARED AND NOT ADDRESSED.

BREAK SIGN APPEARS ON DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. STRANGE NOISES COME FROM BRAKES AND BREAKS DOES NOT APPLY PROPERLY. IT HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN THE PAST AND I PULL OVER SAFELY, TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND TURN THE ENGINE ON BREAK SIGN IS GONE AND BREAKS START WORKING OK. THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN. VERY UNSAFE TO PULL THE CAR ON SIDE OF BUSY HIGHWAY, THEN TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND ON.

2004 NISSAN TITAN PASSENGERS SIDE AXEL SHAFT IS SLIDING OUT OF DIFFERENTIAL AND MY 4WD WILL NOT WORK. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID IS LEAKING EVERYWHERE. HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM BY OTHER TITAN OWNERS. THIS IS UNSAFE ESPECIALLY IF THE SHAFT WORKS ITS WAY ALL THE WAY OUT. DO THE RIGHT THING NISSAN!! ISSUE A RECALL!!

FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS I'VE BEEN FIGHTING AN EVAP PROBLEM. IT STARTED 5 YRS AGO WHEN IT WOULDN'T LET ME FILL IT WITH GAS. THEN MONTHS LATER IT GOT WORSE N WORSE WHERE IT WOULD TAKE 20MIN TO FILL TANK. I'VE REPLACED PURGE VALE 3 TIES IN LAST SEVERAL YEARS AND IT WORKS GREAT THEN 6 MONTHS LATER BACK TO SAME ROUTINE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A BETTER FIX TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE N I KNOW IT'S OLD BUT THERE'S THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE

WHILE CHANGING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID, THE MAGNET/DRAIN PLUG HAD A BROKEN PIECE OF METAL ATTACHED TO IT. I CAN ONLY ASSUME IT'S PART OF THE GEARS INSIDE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PIECE BROKE BUT I HAVE READ THAT OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. THOSE GEARS ARE A BIG PART OF THE TRUCK AND SHOULD NOT BREAK EASY. MY TRUCK IS 4X4 SO I'D ASSUME THE GEARS WOULD BE RELIABLE. I BOUGHT MY TRUCK USED WITH APROX 275K MILES SO NOT SURE WHEN PART BROKE.

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE GAS GAUGE FOR THE 2005 NISSAN TITAN BUT MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN HAS BEEN HAVING THE PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE REGISTERING MORE AND SOMETIMES LESS GAS THAN IS ACTUALLY IN THE VEHICLE FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS BUT IT WAS NOT INCLUDED AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO MAKE THE REPAIR. HOW CAN I GET THIS ISSUE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER? SOMETIMES THE GAS GAUGE WILL DROP ALL THE WAY TO EMPTY WHEN IT HAS MORE THAN HALF A TANK OF GAS.

THE BRAKE LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY 235 (MD) ROAD. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES IT MADE WHAT SEEMS TO BE GRINDING NOISE. THE BRAKES WENT SOFT LUCKILY THE I WAS NEAR A SHOULDER AND AVOIDED A NEAR REAR END WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS CLOSE TO A GAS STATION. I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION WITH THE GRINDING NOISE. I WENT OUTSIDE TO SEE IF THERE WERE AN BRAKE LEAKS OR ANY BRAKE ISSUES AND NOTICED NOTHING. I TURNED ON THE TRUCK AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS GONE AND THE BRAKES WERE NORMAL. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY DEALER AND SHEEHY NISSAN STATED IT WAS THE POWER BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER. NISSAN DEALER STATED THEY HAD A NOTICE ON THIS ISSUE. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS.

THERE IS A WIDE RANGE OF COMPLAINTS OF THE 04 TITAN FORUMS THAT HAVE INDICATED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND DRIVE SHAFT PROBLEMS AND THAT NISSAN HAS COVERED SOME OF THEM UNDER A GOOD WILL WARRANTY. IF THEY ARE KNOWING ABOUT ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND COVERING SOME OF THEM WHY ARE THEY NOT RECALLING THIS. IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND ME THEY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THIS WENT THROUGH THESE WINDOW. SD LYONS (5083369393) HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN AND A WOMAN BEEN PARALYZED FOR LIFE AS THE DRIVE SHAFT WENT THROUGH HER WINDOW AND TOOK OFF HER ROOF AND SLICE HER HEAD. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE BEFORE NISSAN WILL HAVE TO RECALL THIS!

ALL OF THE RECALLS ARE DONE, BUT THE SYSTEM KEEPS APPEARING RECALL INCOMPLETE AND I NEED TO SHIP MY CAR OVERSEAS.

BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR UNEXPECTEDLY; INTERMITTENT CONDITION;; WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED AND DEPRESSING ON BRAKES; PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR; RED BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON; MAKES GRINDING NOISE WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS; SHUT OFF KEY AND RESTART; LIGHT GOES OUT AND BRAKE PEDAL RESUMES NORMAL POSITION AND NOISE GOES AWAY. *TR

UPDATED INFORMATION CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN CRASH ON NOVEMBER 28, 2016 WHILE IN HIS 2004 NISSAN TITAN THE COLLISION CAUSED BOTH AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. UPDATED 02/23/17. *LJ ..UPDATED 06/06/17 *BF UPDATED 12/04/17*BF UPDATED 12/11/2017*JS *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 60-65 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ADJUST THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK. WHEN THE SEAT BACK BUTTON WAS RELEASED, THE SEAT BACK KEPT MOVING FORWARD. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT CAUSING A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 225,000.

FRONT LEFT AXLE SLID OUT FROM DIFFERENTIAL. THE RETAINING C-CLIP ON THE AXLE WAS INTACT BUT DID NOT RETAIN THE AXLE. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. THIS WAS FOUND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THE VEHICLE LEAKED FLUID ON THE GARAGE FLOOR, UPON INVESTIGATING THE LEAK THE FAILURE WAS IDENTIFIED. OTHERWISE THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY WITH NO INDICATION OF THE FAILURE.

I HAVE 2004 TITAN 100,000 MILES, BOTH BACK SEALS LEAKING, HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE BACK OF THE TRUCK. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN UNDER A RECALL BUT ISN'T.

WHEN STOPPING SHARPLY TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING LESS THAN 20 MPH WHICH MADE A SUDDEN TURN IN SAME LANE BRAKES FAILED. THIS CAUSED A NEAR FATALITY. THIS IS THE 7TH TIME BRAKE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED IN THIS VEHICLE DESPITE NUMEROUS REPAIRS COSTING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS--THANKFULLY NOBODY HAS BEEN KILLED OR MAIMED --YET. AT THIS POINT AND HAVING REVIEWED SIMILAR EXPERIENCES BY MANY OWNERS AND NOTING THAT FATALITIES HAVE OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE/DESIGN FLAW I WOULD APPRECIATE ADVICE .

EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NEVER READ FULL BUT STOP AT 7/8 OF A TANK. NOT A BIG DEAL BUT LAST NIGHT MY GAUGE READ BETWEEN 1/8 AND 1/4 TANK AND I RAN OUT OF GAS ON A MAIN ROAD AT NIGHT. THE FUEL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AND NORMALLY DOES WHEN I AM LOW ON FUEL. DOING RESEARCH ON THIS I FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2005-2009 TITANS FOR THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE BUT NOT 2004. READING THE FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL, IT 100% REFLECTS THE SAME ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. I CALLED NISSAN AND SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE AND SHE SAYS MY VEHICLE DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY RECALLS. SHE SAID TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT BUT FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE, THEY WILL HAVE TO DROP THE FUEL TANK WHICH WILL COST QUITE A BIT. I LOOKED ON OTHER FORUMS AND THIS SEEMS TO OF BEEN A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH 2004 MODEL YEAR BUT WHY IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL IS BEYOND ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BECAUSE NOW I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL IS ACTUALLY IN MY TANK AND I WOULD RATHER THIS NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I GOT LUCKY WITH THE SPOT I WAS IN WHERE MY TRUCK STALLED ON A VERY BUSY ROAD AND DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE ATTACHED THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE FOR THE 2005-2009 MODEL YEAR.

WAS COMING FROM DAUGHTERS GAME AND I MADE A LEFT TURN OUTTA PARKING LOT ALL OF A SUDDEN A HEAR A NOISE AND THEN GRINDING. I INSPECTED BRAKES AND UNDERNEATH VEHICLE I NOTICED FLUID ALL OVER FRONT DIFF . I GOT UNDERNEATH GRABBED MY DRIVERS SIDE AXLE AND SHOOK IT . IT CAME APART AND WAS COMING OUT OF DIFF. A MONTH EARLIER I NOTICED REAR DIFF HAD OIL ALL OVER IT AND OIL WAS LEAKING OUT OF REAR PINION SEAL AND BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS , DUE TO AXLE BREATHER FAILURE. I HAVE NEVER WENT OFF-ROADING OR BEAT THIS TRUCK . I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING GAS SHOOTING BACK OUT OF MY FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE . I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALER 2 OR 3 TIMES REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS AS IF IT'S A GUESSING GAME . I HAVE SPENT OVER 300 BUCKS THERE AND MY PROBLEM STILL EXISTS . THEN THEY GUESS AGAIN AND SAYS ITS SOMETHING ELSE. I KNOW FOR SURE THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A REAR END OR REAR DIFF ALREADY PUT IN WITH VERY VERY LOW MILES , WITH 1 ST OWNER . I AM BEING TOLD THAT MY LAST ISSUE WITH FRONT AXLE WAS C CLIP HOLDING AXLE IN FAILED AND MAY HAVE RUINED MY FRONT DIFF , I TRAVELED NO MORE THAN 2 MILES BEFORE I HEARD NOISE AND I'M LOOKING AT A 1900 PART NOT INCLUDING LABOR .

MY HUSBAND WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AUGUST 17TH 2016 RESULTING IN HIS DEATH. INVESTIGATORS CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT BUT HIS VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. WE'RE NOT EVEN CERTAIN THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE TRUCK AFTER THE ACCIDENT THERE WAS NO PROOF THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED AND CAUSE FOR FIRE IS UNKNOWN.

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKS ARE A RECURRING PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD MINE REPLACED 4 TIMES AT VARIOUS POINTS OVER THE PAST 12 YEARS AND THEY ARE LEAKING AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN 12 MONTHS SINCE THE LAST REPAIR, AT WHICH TIME I ALSO REPLACED THE REAR AXLE SHAFTS IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE ONCE AND FOR ALL. FLUID LEAKING FROM THE REAR AXLES DIRECTLY ONTO THE WHEEL HUB, TIRES, BRAKE PADS AND DISCS AND ALL SURROUNDING AREAS, SATURATING THEM COMPLETELY, IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN, IN MY OPINION, AND I BELIEVE IS GROUNDS FOR A SAFETY RECALL. I BELIEVE BOTH BRAKING ABILITY COMPROMISE AND FIRE HAZARD ARE POTENTIAL RESULTS OF THIS ISSUE. AS LEAKS DEVELOP, THEY BECOME BOTH STATIC AND DYNAMIC, WHICH IS TO SAY THAT FLUID LEAKS WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE PARKED. LARGE PUDDLES OF DIFF FLUID FORM UNDER REAR WHEELS AFTER BEING PARKED FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME. NEARLY ALL OF MY DRIVING IS DONE ON-ROAD SO I DON'T SEE THIS ISSUE BEING RELATED TO OFF-ROAD DRIVING DAMAGE POSSIBILITY. REGARDLESS, THIS SAFETY ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RECTIFIED BY NISSAN.

INCIDENT 1: I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND APPLIED THE BRAKE. ONCE THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED, THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED BACK AT ME AS IF THE ABS SYSTEM HAD BEEN ACTIVATED, AND THERE WAS A LOUD SOUND THAT I KNOW TO BE CAUSED BY THE ABS SYSTEM BEING USED. LUCKILY, WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS ABOUT TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT AND IT HAD A CURB. KNOWING THAT MY BRAKES WERE PARTIALLY COMPROMISED, I SLOWLY ENTERED THE PARKING STALL AND NEEDED MINIMAL BRAKING. I NOTICED THAT MY EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT, VDC OFF LIGHT, AND MY SLIP LIGHT WERE ALL ILLUMINATED. AT THIS POINT I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WALKED AROUND IT LOOKING FOR ANY EVIDENCE OF A BRAKE FLUID LEAK OR ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. I DIDN'T SEE ANY BRAKE FLUID OR ANY FLUIDS OR CONTAMINANTS ON THE BRAKE DISCS. I RETURNED SEVERAL MINUTES LATER AND TURNED ON THE CAR AND IT PERFORMED AS NORMAL FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND DISMISSED IT AS AN UNUSUAL ONE TIME FLUKE. ONE WEEK LATER, I HAD A VERY SIMILAR INCIDENT DETAILED BELOW. INCIDENT 2: AGAIN, I WAS GOING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AT LESS THAN 10 MPH, AND WAS ABOUT TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE. THIS TIME, IT DID NOT START UNTIL I WAS PULLING INTO THE SPACE, SO I HAD NO WARNING THAT I WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME STOPPING. LUCKILY, I HAD A CURB AT THE END OF MY PARKING SPACE. ONCE I FELT THE KICK BACK I IMMEDIATELY PRESSED ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND SLOWLY CAME TO A STOP A FEW INCHES AWAY FROM THE CURB. I THEN SAW THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS THE SAME AS BEFORE. DEALERSHIP VISIT: AT THIS POINT, I KNEW IT WASN'T A ONE TIME THING AND TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER LATER THAT DAY. THEY TOLD ME MY DELTA STROKE SENSOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED YET, AND DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS A PERMANENT FIX. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, JUST MORE SIGNIFICANT. DEFINITELY WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE I FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK AGAIN.

MY FUEL GAUGE READS 1/4 TANK WHEN I HAVE NO GAS IN THE TANK. IT WILL GO BACK TO PARTIAL FULL WHEN I FILL UP BUT THEN IT WILL SHOW 1/4 TANK AFTER A PERIOD OF DRIVING. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON OR ACCURACY. WHY WAS THE 2004 NOT RECALLED FOR THIS WHEN EVERY YEAR AFTERWARDS WAS RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM.? I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WILL NOT RESPOND.

ON THE WAY TO WORK WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC, I LIGHTLY APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, I FELT LOUD GRINDING AND SHAKING AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. TRIED TO STOP THE CAR AND PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL BUT IT WAS PUSHED DOWN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. PUMPED PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES , IT STOPPED. THE SPEED WAS ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN IT OCCURRED AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, IT LOOKED EVERYTHING TURNED OUT TO BE NORMAL, ACTS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. CALLED NISSAN COMPANY, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I GOGGLED IT AND FOUND OUT MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT NISSAN COMPANY DID NOT DO ANYTHING ON THIS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF I WAS DRIVING WITH HIGH SPEED, I COULD RUN INTO OTHER CAR SINCE BRAKE NOT WORKING MOMENTARILY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED. THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASED. THE BRAKE SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES STOPPED FUNCTIONING WHILE DRIVING 65-70 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND MOVED 900 YARDS. ALSO, THE BRAKE LIGHT WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE VCU CHIP AND THE VACUUM CANISTER MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

I NOTICED IN MAY, 2016 THAT A PAINT SPOT ABOUT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER ON TOP OF MY RIGHT FRONT FENDER WAS MISSING. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY PAINT SEEMS TO BE CHIPPING ALONG THE EDGES. WHEN I WAS LOADING UP MY TRUCK THIS WEEKEND, I NOTICED THAT THE PAINT ON MY ROOF IS CHIPPING ALL ALONG THE RAIN GUTTERS ON BOTH SIDES.

BRAKES MADE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN APPLIED AND DIDN'T SLOW VEHICLE WHEN APPLIED. TURNED OFF VEHICLE. RESTARTED AND BRAKES WORKED FINE AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BEFORE DEALER SAID IT WAS A C1179 DELTA BOOST SENSOR FAULT AND THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER. HAPPENED AGAIN TWO YEARS LATER SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME DEALER SAID THE REAR AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING AND LEAKING ON BRAKES ALSO FOUND THAT THE ECM ON THE BOOSTER THAT WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO WAS NEVER UPDATED. REPROGRAMMED. PROBLEM REOCCURRED A WEEK LATER. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY, SIDE STREETS, GOING STRAIGHT, TURNING, DRIVING AT 60, DRIVING AT 10. NO RHYME OR REASON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED WHEN DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DELTA REGULATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 161,000.

FRONT DIFFERENTIAL/AXLE ON MY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE NISSAN TITAN IS BROKEN AND LEAKING FLUID, TRUCK WILL NOT GO INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ANY MORE. I WAS AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP GETTING AN INSPECTION PERFORMED WHEN THEY NOTICED THE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 9,700.

TWO CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. AT TIMES I AN GETTING EXHAUST FUMES INTO DRIVERS COMPARTMENT. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A WIDE PROBLEM WITH NISSAN 5.6 L V-8S AND A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE TITANS. MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER EST. REPAIR AT $3,507.50 AND HE TOLD ME THE IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR BOTH TO FAIL AT THE SAME TIME. NISSAN CUSTOMER SUPPORT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I STARTED HAVE PROBLEM AT 100.000 MILE I AM AT 124.000 NOW. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE MADE INTO A RECALL. MY TRUCK LOOKS LIKE NEW FROM THE OUTSIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS PRESENT AND NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MANIFOLD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS INSTRUCTED TO REPLACE THE MANIFOLD EVERY FIVE YEARS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

CLEAR COAT IS COMING OFF THE HOOD AND TOP OF THE CAB.

I'M FILING A COMPLAINT FOR THE MISSED RECALL ON THE NISSAN TITAN! THE DESIGN OF THE REAR AXLE OF THIS VEHICLE CAUSES A REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK. MANY CONSUMERS REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AND COMPLAINED AND NISSAN OR THIS GOVERNMENT HAS NOT ISSUED OR DEMANDED A RECALL BE MADE MANDATORY FOR THIS REAR AXLE SEAL ISSUE?! SEEMS A LITTLE ODD TO ME AS THIS COULD CAUSE MAJOR REPAIRS AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OF THIS FAILS WHILE OUT ON A PUBLIC ROADWAY! I UNFORTUNATELY AM A NISSAN TITAN CONSUMER AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES AS EVERYONE ONLINE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEM LEAKING AND GOING OUT. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WILL BE PURSUING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS REPAIR!

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE EXTREMELY PRONE TO CRACKING. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS ONLINE OF THEM CRACKING SO NISSAN IS CERTAINLY AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THEY CRACKED ON MY VEHICLE AND EXHAUST GASSES LEAK INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT SO THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD.

WHEN DRIVING TRUCK ENGINE SHUTS COMPLETELY DOWN INCLUDING ON HIGHWAY AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE IN PARK AND ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE MANIFOLD WAS FRACTURED AND LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I BACKED MY CAR OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND PROCEEDED APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS TOWARD THE ENTRANCE TO MY SUBDIVISION. I APPLIED BRAKES TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSED AS IF ABS WAS ACTIVE AND WENT NEARLY TO THE FLOOR. THE ROAD WAS DRY YET THE ABS ACTED AS IF I WERE ON ICE. I PUMPED THE BRAKES MULTIPLE TIMES. EACH TIME THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH ABS PULSING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP BEFORE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. A WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED - I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS BRAKE OR ABS. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. UPON RESTART THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND THE BRAKES FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. I PARKED THE VEHICLE PENDING DIAGNOSIS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ISSUES DOCUMENTED ONLINE POINTING TO THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR. IT SEEMS THAT A PROBLEM WITH THIS SENSOR COMPROMISES THE FUNCTION OF THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, AN OIL LEAK WAS DISCOVERED AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 172,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 TITAN, I NOTICED A BANGING AND CLANGING SOUND. I THOUGHT IT WAS A LIMB STUCK IN MY TIRE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I NOTICED OIL ON THE INSIDE REAR ROTOR, PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS ALREADY MILES FROM HOME ON A HUNTING TRIP. I ONLY HAVE 79,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. AFTER HUNTING, I LIMPED MY TRUCK ABOUT 30 MILES HOME, TRAVELLING ABOUT 35 MPH, WHILE IT IS BANGING AND CLANGING, SOUNDING AS THOUGH THE WHEEL IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. I MADE SEVERAL STOPS ON THE WAY HOME TO MAKE SURE THE WHEEL WAS STILL SECURE. I FEEL BLESSED TO MAKE IT HOME AS THE WHEEL STARTED TO BIND WHEN I HIT THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER TALKING TO SEVERAL MECHANICS, THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE ALOT. THE REPAIR WILL COST SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $3,000 TO $4,000. APPARENTLY THE AXLE SEAL BLEW WITHOUT WARNING AND NOW THIS HAS CHEWED UP THE GEARS INSIDE AND DESTROYED THE HOUSING. THE MECHANICS SIMPLY SUGGESTED TO BUY THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE AND REPLACE. THEY ALSO STATED THE ORIGINAL DESIGN WAS PISS-POOR. OF COURSE, THIS HAPPENS AFTER PLACING $2,000 REPLACING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT WERE UNDER WARRANTY FOR 80,000 MILES AND 10 YEARS OLD. MINE WERE 11 YEARS OLD AND THE TRUCK HAD 79,000 MILES ON IT. THE LOCAL GARAGE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP. IT WAS MORE THAN 10 YEARS OLD. I WOULD HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING YOU COULD DO TO MAKE THE MANUFACTURER LIABLE FOR THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

THIS IS A FINANCE VEHICLE SAW THE 2004 NISSAN TITAN REALLY LIKE IT FOR THE WORK THAT I DO AND MY HUSBAND AGREED TO PARTIALLY FINANCED IT. THE FIRST DRIVING OFF THE CAR LOT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN WE GOT HOME I CALLED BACK THE DEALER TO LET HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED, HE SAID TO BRING IT BACK THE FOLLOWING THURSDAY TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON, DURING THE SAME WEEK THE TWO FRONT WINDOWS FELL DOWN INTO THE SLOT COULDN'T COME BACK UP SO WE HAD DRIVE IN THE DEAD OF WINTER WITH THE WINDOWS DONE. FINALLY WE DROP THE PICKUP OFF AT THE DEALER, IT WAS THERE FOR 2 FULL WEEKS BEFORE WE GOT IT BACK, THINKING EVERYTHING WAS FIXED .A FEW DAYS AFTER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WE CALLED THEM AGAIN THEY IN REPLIED TELLING US THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS A USED VEHICLE.OH MY GOD. NOW I HAVE PUT OVER A $1000 IN PARTS AND NOW THE MECHANICS ARE TELLING ME IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. PLEASE I NEED HELP BECAUSE I HAVE TO BE PAYING THE FINANCE COMPANY FOR SOMETHING I CANT USE.

TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AT CROSSROADS TO GO RIGHT ONTO A ROADWAY WITH HIGH SPEED VEHICLES APPROACHING. MY REAR END MADE A LOUD BANG AND BACK END SEEMED TO LOCK UP OR SKIP AND COULDN'T GET GOING - NEARLY REAR ENDED BY VEHICLES ON ROADWAY WHILE TRYING TO ENTER AS COULDN'T GET GOING. TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER AND APPARENTLY REAR END SPIDER GEARS GONE. 71K ON VEHICLE, CHANGED REAR DIFF. FLUID TO NISSAN RECOMMENDED TYPE AT 35K, NO TOWING, NO HARD DRIVING, AND LESS THAN 1 HOUR TOTAL LIFETIME USE OF 4X4.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER SERVICE CAMPAIGN RELATED TO THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE DID NOT MEET THE SPECIFICATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND AN ABNORMAL ODOR EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES WITH OUT A WARNING ,BRAKES MADE A SPRING POPPING NOISE AND TOTAL BRAKE PRESSURE LOSS,BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON ,AFTER PULLING OVER AND CHECKING FOR OIL LEAKS OR LOOSE PARTS NOTHING WAS FOUND WHEN RE STARTING VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHT RESET AND BRAKES WORK NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. HE NOTICED THAT THE SEAMS NEAR THE ROTORS AND THE PLATES WERE LEAKING GEAR OIL, WHICH CAUSED HIM TO CONSTANTLY ADD A QUART OF GEAR OIL EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ALSO DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL PLATES AND SEALS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO PREMATURE DETERIORATION AND AN INTERNAL FRACTURING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WHEN DRIVING MY REAR END MAKING LOUD KNOCKING NOISES.. IT IS NOT GERNADED YET BUT IT ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. HAVENT BEEN DRIVING IT BE CAUSE OF FURTHER WARE OF SAFTEY ISSUES.

PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION BY OUR HOUSE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND A WEIRD NOISE WOULD SOUND ANYTIME I WOULD TAP MY BRAKES . PULLED OVER RESTARTED THE CAR AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE AGAIN AND STILL IS !

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK WHEN MY LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON; MY GAUGE SHOWED APPROXIMATELY 1/8 REMAINING. THIS WAS NORMAL, AND THE POINT WHERE THE LOW FUEL LIGHT NORMALLY TURNED ON. THE NEXT MORNING, ON MY WAY TO WORK, THE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND THE NEEDLE SHOWED JUST OVER 1/8 TANK. THIS WAS ALSO NORMAL FOR THE LIGHT TO SWITCH ON AND OFF AS THE LEVEL TEETERED AROUND THE SWITCH POINT. A FEW MILES INTO MY TRIP, THE NEEDLE JUMPED TO AROUND 1/4 TANK, WHICH WAS NOT NECESSARILY NORMAL, BUT I HAD NO REASON TO QUESTION THE LEVEL BASED ON THE PREVIOUS ACCURACY OF MY GAUGE. HALFWAY TO WORK I LOST POWER, AND HAD TO PULL OVER ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. MY TRUCK WOULD NOT START, ALTHOUGH IT STILL SHOWED 1/4 TANK REMAINING. I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH ON MY PHONE FOR /2004 TITAN FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM/ AND IMMEDIATELY GOT RASHES OF HITS FOR DESCRIPTIONS EXACTLY LIKE MINE WHERE THEIR TITANS SHOWED 1/4 TANK REMAINING, BUT RAN OUT OF FUEL. AFTER WALKING A 4 MILE ROUND-TRIP TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND BACK, I PUT GAS IN THE TANK, AND DROVE TO WORK. AFTER A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH I FOUND A RECALL NHTSA# 10V074000 FOR 2005-2009 TITANS (MINE IS A 2004) AND NISSAN SERVICE BULLETIN EL08-013A FOR 2004-2009 TITANS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN AMERICA THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AND WILL NOT BE COVERED. I AM FINE WITH A FUEL SENSOR FAILING AFTER 186,000 MILES AND NOT BEING COVERED, BUT NOT IF IDENTICAL VEHICLES (2005-2009) WITH IDENTICAL HARDWARE ARE BEING RECALLED AND RECOGNIZED AS HAVING SAFETY ISSUES. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON THEIR 2004 TITANS, AND THEY NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

EMERGENCY BRAKE AND REAR BRAKES GOT COVERED IN GEAR OIL BECAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEAL LEAKING. IT STARTED SPEWING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND WHEN I TRIED TO COME TO A STOP IT TOOK WAY LONGER THAN NORMAL FORCING ME TO SWERVE TO MISS A PEDESTRIAN AND HITTING THE CURB AND A BUSH. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE THE DIFFERENTIAL LEAKING ON THE BRAKES IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN.

THE ABS LIGHT, VDC LIGHT, SLIP LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR ACCOMPANIED BY ABS ACTUATOR SOUNDS. THE BRAKING EFFORT DID NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE EFFECTIVELY. RECYCLING THE IGNITION SWITCH RETURNED THE BRAKES TO A SATISFACTORY CONDITION. AFTER MY WIFE DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME, I SCANNED THE ABS FOR FAULT CODES: C1179. I AM AN ASE CERTIFIED MASTER AUTOMOBILE TECHNICIAN WITH 28 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. THIS DEVICE MEASURES THE TRAVEL OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND IS A NECESSARY COMPONENT OF A VEHICLE WITH STABILITY CONTROL (NISSAN CALLS IT VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL [VDC]). THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS 4 TIMES IN THE TEN YEARS THAT I'VE OWNED IT. THE FREQUENCY OF FAILURE IS VERY RANDOM, DUPLICATION OF THE FAULT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IT OCCURS WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL.

BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. PEDAL WAS SOFT AND MADE A GRINDING NOISE. BRAKES WORKED BUT NOT VERY WELL. TOOK A VIDEO OF IT WITH MY CELL PHONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND THEY RESET SOMETHING. THEY SAID IT MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT DIDN'T. THEY SAID THE REPAIR WOULD COST $900.00. I THINK IT SHOULD BE FREE. THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD. TURNING TRUCK OFF AND ON FIXES THE PROBLEM BUT NOT PERMANENTLY. *TR

I HAD THE DEALER INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAD CRACKED. THEY SAID THERE WAS A PREVIOUS NOTICE FROM NISSAN AND THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED AND THE DEALER DID NOT CONTACT ME. NOW THEY SAID TOO MUCH TIME HAD ELAPSED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS FREE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN DEFECT SINCE NISSAN HAD THEM REPLACED ON SOME VEHICLES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE CRACKED MANIFOLDS CAN CAUSE A CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK OR SET A FIRE WHILE DRIVING FAST. THE COST TO REPAIR IS NEAR $1000 FOR THE PARTS PLUS LABOR TO INSTALL. THERE MUST BE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAD THIS SAFETY PROBLEM SO THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FORCE NISSAN TO FIX ALL THE VEHICLES. MINE HAS ONLY 86000 EASY MILES ON IT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED AROUND 55-65 IN HOUSTON TEXAS. A CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TO PUT THE BRAKES ON QUICKLY. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL MUSHED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR MAKING A GRINDING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE BARLEY SLOWED DOWN. I MADE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE BRAKES MADE AN LOUD GRINDING NOISE, AND LOST BRAKES COMPLETELY. WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED(WITH OUT GETTING HIT MY CARS) I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. I HAD TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND AS I SAT THERE I HEARD A NOISE UNDER THE DASH, LIKE SOMETHING RESET ITSELF. I START THE TRUCK UP AND MOVED SLOWLY FORWARD TO SEE IF I HAD BRAKES AND SUDDENLY THEY WERE WORKING AGAIN. THIS TRUCK HAS DONE THIS A MILLION TIMES AND IT IS JUST BY LUCK THAT I HAVE NO BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE BRAKES GO OUT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL AND NOTHING HE CAN DO WITHOUT A THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THEN HE ISN'T SURE IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM STUCK WITH THIS TRUCK AND IT CONTINUES TO LOOSE THE BRAKES. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE 2011. *TR

THE VEHICLE SHOWED 1/4 TANK OF GAS, WAS RUNNING FINE AND SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHILE A YOUNG GIRL 18 YEARS OLD WAS DRIVING HOME FROM DROPPING OFF SIBLINGS AT SCHOOL. AT 55 MPH THERE WAS NO POWER BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD HEAVILY TRAVELED BY 80 TON GRAVEL TRUCKS. NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HAS HAD A NUMBER OF TITANS EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE CAUSED BY A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. THEY DID A TSB ON ALL BUT 2004S EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE THE SAME PART. NISSAN REQUIRED ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR NISSAN DIAGNOSTIC ($93) EVEN THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY TOLD ME THIS WAS AN ISSUE AND NISSAN WOULD PROBABLY COVER IT. THE NISSAN REGIONAL REP ([XXX]) REIMBURSED THE REPAIR BUT REFUSED THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE SHE REQUIRED ME TO GET. NISSAN DENIES RESPONSIBILITY FOR RECALLING THESE VEHICLES WHICH THEY KNOW CAN JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

I HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AT WORK INTO TRAFFIC.I HEARD A LOUD POP AND MY REAR END STARTED HAVING LARGE BANGS AND I LOST ALMOST ALL POWER. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY MULTIPLE CARS. I MANAGED TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND CALL TO HAVE IT TOWED. THANKFULLY I HAD 400 MILES LEFT ON MY WARRANTY COVERED THE ENTIRE NEW REAR AXLE THAT WAS REQUIRED.. THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE!!! MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL IS ALSO SLOWLY GOING OUT BUT ISN'T BAD ENOUGH FOR THE WARRANTY TO COVER IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE MANIFOLD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE MANIFOLD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD PREMATURELY CRACKED AND FRACTURED ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

RANDOMLY, SEVERAL TIME A WEEK..AND THEN NOT FOR MONTHS..AND THEN THE SYMPTOM REAPPEARS. WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK, THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE. IF I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHILE THE BRAKE LIGHT IS LIT, THE PEDAL MOVES TO THE FLOOR EASILY, THE BRAKES SHUDDER AND THE FEEL OF THE POWER BRAKE SYSTEM IS GONE. THE STOPPING POWER IS DRAMITICALLY COMPROMISED. THE FIX SEEMS TO BE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF AND MAY REMAIN OFF FOR DAYS, THE BRAKE FEEL AND FUNCTION ARE FINE. THEN RANDOMLY, THE PROBLEM WILL REAPPEAR. I CAN'T FIND A CODE FOR IT. A LAWSUIT WAS FILED AND SETTLED IN CALIFORNIA FOR THIS ISSUE..SEE: THE NISSAN BRAKE / DELTA STROKE SENSOR CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FILED IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA - BANKS ET AL V. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. ET AL. BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL AND REPAIR. SCARY WHEN THIS OCCURS ON A HIGHWAY AND THE 5600 POUND TRUCK IS TRAVELING 60 MPH OR MORE. SINCERELY. *JS

THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AXLE IS POPPING OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ESPECIALLY AFTER IT HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED ONCE. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE NISSAN TITAN FRONT FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY STARTING FROM 2004 AS THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ON MANY OF THE NISSAN TITAN FORUMS. I WILL BE BRINGING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVERS TO THE DEALER AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL ASSIST IN COST OF THIS MAJOR MALFUNCTION. AGAIN, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO THIS VEHICLE AS IT DOES NOT GET MUCH HEAVY USE. NO TOWING AND HARDLY EVER USES THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS HEAVY EXHAUST FUMES COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ENTERING THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. UPDATED 5/4/15*CN

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN FROM WORK WHEN COMING UP TO A STOP LEAVING THE LONG DRIVEWAY TO ENTER THE MAIN RD I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND BEGAN VIBRATING AND MAKING A GRINDING NOISE LIKE WHEN YOU STEP ON THE PEDAL VERY HARD AND THE ABS COMES ON, EXCEPT THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE. THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP. I FLEW THROUGH THE STOP SIGN IN FRONT OF OTHER COWORKERS LEAVING A BUILDING TO THE NORTH. THE ROAD ONLY WENT LEFT AND RIGHT SO I COULD NOT MAKE THE TURN SO I HAD NO OPTIONS AND WENT ACROSS THE ROAD, HIT THE CURB, WENT INTO A FIELD WHERE A MESQUITE TREE STOPPED ME. I PUT THE TRUCK INTO PARK AND SHUT IT OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED IT THE BRAKES ARE BACK AND WORKING LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I LEFT THE TRUCK THERE AND WENT HOME TO BEGIN MY NORMAL GOOGLE SEARCHES AND WHAT'S THE CAUSE AND HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM MYSELF. I'VE FOUND HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE. THE MOST RECENT NOTES ARE OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT NISSAN HAS AGREED TO PAY BECAUSE OF FAULTY PARTS THAT CAUSE THEIR VEHICLES NOT TO STOP. THEY WHERE QUOTED THAT THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL UNLESS ORDERED TO DO SO IN NUMEROUS NEWS ARTICLES. PLEASE PROCESS THIS RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE GETS HURT OR KILLED. PLEASE HELP. *TR

ATTEMPTED TO STOP WHILE TRAVELING DOWN PARKING GARAGE RAMP. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE AUDIBLE SOUND OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) PUMP CYCLING. AT THIS POINT THERE WAS NO BRAKING POWER. PEDAL WAS LIFTED AND BRAKES WHERE APPLIED AGAIN. AGAIN, THE PEDAL DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND THE AUDIBLE ABS PUMP COULD BE HEARD. AT THIS POINT DRIVER HAD TO DECIDE TO CRASH THE CAR INTO A CONCRETE COLUMN TO PREVENT LARGER ACCIDENT INTO PAYMENT BOOTH. DRIVER CONTINUED INTO A CONCRETE COLUMN AT APPROXIMATELY 15 - 20 MPH AND CRASHED. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED FROM SCENE. AFTER ACCIDENT, MECHANIC REPAIRING VEHICLE INFORMED THE DRIVER OF TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) 452131 PERTAINING TO THIS SAME ISSUE, "ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) CODE C1179. INTERMITTENT BRAKE PEDAL SUPPOSEDLY GOES TO THE FLOOR. TECH HAS NOT EXPERIENCED". *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE REAR END SEIZED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE HALT BEFORE STALLING. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS TWO CRACKED MANIFOLDS. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN VERIFIED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

WHILE DRIVING, RED "BRAKE" DASH WARNING LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON. TRUCK'S BRAKES THEN HAD LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY & WERE HARD TO USE. THEY PUSHED A WAYS DOWN, HAD CRUMMY STOPPING POWER, MADE GRINDING NOISES, AND A VIBRATION WHEN TRYING TO USE THEM. I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY STOP. I SHUT OFF TRUCK AND RESTARTED IT. THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND BRAKES ACT NORMALLY. AFTER BRAKING AGAIN A SHORT TIME LATER, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. I ONCE AGAIN WAS ABLE TO RESET THE LIGHT BY SHUTTING OFF THE TRUCK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS IT JUST SUDDENLY HAPPENS AND YOUR BRAKING ABILITY GOES TO "POOP" WHEN DRIVING. AFTER THIS HAPPENED TO ME, I SEE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON-LINE IN VARIOUS FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY NISSAN OR A GOVERNMENT RECALL. THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY FIXED THE BRAKE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. HOWEVER, A WEEK LATER, THE CONSUMERS NEPHEW WAS DRIVING WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN, AND HE DROVE INTO A DITCH. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY CLAIMED THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW PUMP/DELTA STOKE SENSOR. UPDATED 02/23/15

AT 55,000 MILES THE REAR AXLE SEALS FAILED ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE SEAL FAILURE CAUSED A LEAK WHICH SATURATED THE REAR BRAKE APPARATUS AND REDUCED ITS HOLDING ABILITY. I REPORTED THIS TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT AN UPGRADED REAR AXLE WAS INSTALLED TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PREMATURE SEAL FAILURE. AT 138,000 MILES THE REAR AXLE SEALS HAVE FAILED AGAIN DESPITE REGULAR FLUID CHANGES, AND THE REAR BRAKE APPARATUS IS ONCE AGAIN SOILED WITH GEAR LUBE. I BELIEVE THIS CONSTITUTES A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS A RECALL. THE DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY AND STATES THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD FAILURE ON THE NISSAN TITAN AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER TITAN OWNERS IN THE U.S. WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS

TRANSMISSION FLUID DILUTED WITH ANTI -FREEZE FROM FAULTY RADIATOR /TRANNY COOLER NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IT IS A STALL ISSUE , A SAFETY ISSUE , ITS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR ,AND NOT UNCOMMON. *TR

FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. MANY REPORTS ONLINE SUGGEST A COMMON FAILURE. COST OVER $2100 TO FIX. PARTS HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED SO MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL ONLY GUARANTEE A FULL DIFFERENTIAL REPLACEMENT. *TR

SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW THE FUEL GAUGE HAS NEVER SHOWN THE CORRECT READING ON THE FUEL IN THE TANK. IT WILL NEVER REGISTER "FULL" AND WILL RUN OUT OF GAS WHEN IT STILL SHOWS 1/8 OF A TANK LEFT. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE GAUGE WITH ANOTHER ONE JUST LIKE IT THAT ALSO DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. *TR

I HAVE SAME PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE WITH CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS STARTING AROUND 65000 MILES. EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE SO I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LISTEN TO A HORRIBLE EXHAUST LEAKS. NEXT IS THE REAR AXLE SEALS FIRST AROUND 65000.REPLACED 2X. AFTER TALKING TO NISSAN TECH WHO IS A FRIEND APPARENTLY ITS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THE AXLE TUBES TEND TO WARP CAUSING A LEAK ALL OVER TIRES N BRAKES AND EVENTUAL FAILURE OF GEARS INREAR PUMPKIN IF NOT CAUGHT. JUST WAITING FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM. EVERY 7000 BRAKES N ROTORS R SHOT AND NEED REPLACING. PEDAL ALWAYS HAS A MUSHY FEEL WHEN U OCCASIONALLY NEED TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE. GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR EVEN WHEN BRAKES R GOOD. *TR

I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A LEAK IN THE ROOF. I ALWAYS NOTICED A DAMP MUSTY SMELL AFTER IT RAINED BUT NEVER FOUND ANYTHING OTHER THAN REAR SLIDING WINDOW WAS DAMP UNTIL AFTER A HEAVY RAIN I MADE A SHARP LEFT AND CAUGHT OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE WATER FLYING OUT OF THE SLIDING WINDOW TRACK. I'VE TRIED LOOKING TO SEE WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM BUT CAN'T FIND THE EXACT LOCATION. LET ME POINT OUT I NEVER USE THE REAR WINDOW. AFTER MONTHS AND YRS OF FRUSTRATION I SILICONED THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW AND TOOK OFF BRAKE LIGHT AND DID THAT TOO BUT STILL GETTING WATER. I'VE READ ONLINE ITS VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NO REMEDY YET. *TR

NHTSA RECALL 10V074000. (NISSAN). THE RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO 2004 MODEL TITANS. CURIOUSLY IT APPLIES TO THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL FOR YEARS 2005-2009. IN MY CASE THE FUEL GAUGE NEVER WORKED WELL (PURCHASED NEW) BUT AT LEAST THE LOW FUEL WARNING GAUGE LIGHT CAME ON. ON OCTOBER 21, 2014 THE GAUGE COMPLETELY MALFUNCTIONED. IT STUCK AT APPROXIMATELY 1/3 OF A TANK AND THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS (NO LIGHT INDICATOR) WITHOUT WARNING. AT 70 MPH ON A TOLLWAY, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. GIVEN THE SIGNIFICANT RISK TO DRIVER HEALTH AND SAFETY POSED BY THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION (WHICH WAS CURIOUSLY ADDRESSED FOR 2005 AND THEREAFTER) AND THE EXTREME RISK OF CRASH THAT IT CAUSES, THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED AND NOT EXCLUDE THE FIRST MODEL YEAR OF THIS CAR. WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL AT 70MPH, I WAS LUCKY ON THIS OCCASION. OTHERS MAY WELL NOT BE. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL BECAME MUSHY. BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON. COASTED TO A STOP, TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED. LIGHTS WENT OFF AND BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY AGAIN. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY THE SIXTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS TRUCK. BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE NEW. IT FIRST BEGAN HAPPENING APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AGO. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NISSAN SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THIS ISSUE, WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF SINCE 2004. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHT SENSOR ILLUMINATED AND UPON PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL IT SANK TO THE FLOOR. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO ENSURE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE WHICH RESET THE COMPUTER AND THE SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR WAS MAKING THE LOUD NOISE BUT IT WAS UNCLEAR IF IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE MOMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V072000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH 81K MILE HAS 2 CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDES HAVE CRACK JUST IN FRONT OF LAST CYCLE ON BOTH SIDES. MY TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE ONE NIGHT. THE NEXT MORNING MY TRUCK WAS SOUNDING LIKE IT HAD AN EXHAUST LEAK. SEND MY TRUCK IN TO HAVE RECALLS ADDRESS AND IT WAS CONFIRMED BY NISSAN MECHANICS THAT BOTH SIDES ARE CRACKED. WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE ABOUT $3000 TO REPLACE BOTH SIDES. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. *TR

BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAVE DEVELOPED CRACKS AND LEAKS. NISSAN REFUSED TO REPAIR IF NOT WITHIN 70K WARRANTY. *TR

MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON THE DRIVER SIDE CRACKED IN HALF. *TR

REAR AXEL SEALS LEAK CAUSING REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL ON WHEELS, ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. COULD LEAD TO A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE ON REAR TWO WHEELS DUE TO OIL. *TR

WHILE USING 4WD MY FRONT AXLE POPPED OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. LUCKILY I WAS OFFROAD AND GOING SLOW. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I SEE IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AND CAN LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE ( IF RETAINING CLIP IS EJECTED AND GETS BETWEEN GEARS) CAUSING THE FRONT END TO TEMPORARILY LOCK UP. AGAIN LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOW. BUT THIS IS TO COMMON AN ISSUE AND SOMETHING THAT CAN CAUSE A LAPSE IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING UP AN ICY INCLINE ON A SIDE ROAD WITH THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED AND THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. THE VEHICLE LOST TRACTION AND ALMOST HIT OTHER CARS AND PEDESTRIANS. THIS IS THE SECOND FAILURE TO OCCUR ON THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED AS THE SERVICE ENGINE SENSOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP SAFE MODE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT SINCE IT WOULD TAKE LONGER THAN TWO WEEKS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM IT WAS OK FOR THE CONTACT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOW TO ANOTHER AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS ON TOP OF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAUSING THE ENGINE TO BE DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO REPLACED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE ENGINE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ATTEMPTED TO STOP AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, AND I HAD NO PRIMARY BRAKE FUNCTION. I WENT THRU AN INTERSECTION UNABLE TO STOP AND COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE. THE VEHICLE DOES THIS MULTIPLE TIMES, IF I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, RESTART THE VEHICLE I HAVE BRAKES, DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THEN NO BRAKES. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE, AND IT'S THE BRAKE BOOSTER. NISSAN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE, THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF EXACT COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN, AND I GET NOTHING FROM THEM OR ANY ASSISTANCE. PLEASE, PLEASE, DO SOME RESEARCH ON LINE ABOUT THIS AND MAKE NISSAN FIX THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLES. I HAVE THE VEHICLE PARKED IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER FOR THE $1,200.00 REPAIR AND TOWING BILL. AS A CONSUMER I NEED YOUR HELP. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN HAS HAD NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT COMING ON WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES MAKE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE HAD TO GO ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TO AVOID REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. ONCE I GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED I CAN TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND THE BRAKES RESET AND WORK CORRECTLY. HOWEVER, THESE INCIDENTS ARE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO RESTART THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE RESET. THIS IS A VERY CRITICAL SAFETY FLAW AND I HAVE READ MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THESE TRUCKS AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS INJURY OR A FATALITY. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND IT HAS BEEN SERVICED AT PROPER INTERVALS. *TR

THIS WILL BE THE 3RD REAR DIFFERENTIAL ON THIS TRUCK. THE FIRST BLEW ON WARRANTY AT APPROX 10K MILES. NOW WITH 56K MILES THE 2ND DANA REAR AXLE HAS BLOWN. I DON'T OFF ROAD AND TOW ONLY A MOTORCYCLE TRAILER. THIS IS OBSCENE, TIME CONSUMING AND VERY COSTLY ($3,630.00) TO FIX AND DAYS WAITING AWAY FROM HOME. THIS ISN'T RIGHT. *TR

WHEN TRYING TO BACKUP THE TRUCK THE COLUMN GEAR SHIFTER MOVED INTO REVERSE BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL MOVING FORWARD. FORTUNATELY I DIDN'T RUN OVER ANYONE BUT IT COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED IN A BUSY PARKING LOT. THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS MOVING UP AND DOWN INTO EVERY POSITION BUT IT WAS CONTINUOUSLY ENGAGED IN DRIVE. I DROVE HOME AND PARKED. THE SHIFTER IS STILL MOVING UP AND DOWN; THE GEAR INDICATOR SHOWS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS IN "D" - DRIVE BUT THE VEHICLE IS ROLLING AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND CAN'T BE STARTED. THERE IS A NISSAN RECALL NO. RU403 BUT NISSAN SAYS MY TRUCK IS NOT AFFECTED. *TR

WHEN TO STOP AS ENTERED FREEWAY ENTRANCE, BRAKE PEDAL DROPPED ABOUT 1/2 WAY AND NO INITIAL BRAKE POWER. THEN VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL KICKED IN AND GOT LIMITED BRAKING BACK AS VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND TWISTED SLIGHTLY. RESTARTED AND WORKED OK. ALSO HAPPENED JULY 12. HAPPENED AGAIN ON 8/17 WHILE TOWING. CAN'T TRUST THE BRAKES!! OTHER TIMES BRAKES WORK FINE. *TR

MY REAR AXLE SEALS FAILED, BEGAN LEAKING. IT HAPPENS TO EVERY SINGLE TITAN, IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. JUST SEARCH ONLINE, NEARLY EVERY OWNER HAS THIS ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT AND HELP PEOPLE THAT HAVE THEIR GREAT TRUCKS. *TR

THE AIR BAG SENSOR WENT ON I RESET FIRST TIME LAST ABOUT 2 MONTHS THEN CAME ON AGAIN. I RESET AGAIN AND LAST 2 WEEKS AND KEEP COMING BACK ON I KEEP RESETTING STILL ON. I TOOK TO DEALER, I WAS TOLD DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS MY COROLLA IS 21 YEARS OLD AND HAS 191000 MILES, HAVE NEVER HAD ANY AIR BAG ISSUE. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. AND WAS RECEIVE "NISSAN CAREFULLY CONSIDERED YOUR REQUEST DURING A REVIEW OF ALL OF THE AVAILABLE FACTS PERTAINING TO YOUR SPECIFIC SITUATION. NISSAN IS UNABLE TO OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR OF THE AIRBAG/AIRBAG MODULE DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OUTSIDE OF THE NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY". *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER FOR AN UNRELATED ISSUE, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS SEVERELY CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE CAR START TO LOOSE POWER SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD THEN IT SHUT OFF ...... IT JUST SHUTS OFF BY IT SELF . *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A BRAKE / ABS PROBLEM WITH MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AS I WAS DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND AS I ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THE BRAKES UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS, I HAVE ALMOST NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK IN TIME. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE ABS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATING AND BRAKE PEDAL IS FLUCTUATING, VIBRATING AND GRINDING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/17/14 THEY SAID IT WAS A PROGRAMMING ISSUE. I PAID ABOUT $100 FOR THEM TO UPLOAD A NEW PROGRAM. THEY TOLD ME THE NEW PROGRAM DIDN'T TAKE AND THEN TOLD ME THE DELTA SENSOR IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS MOST LIKELY THE ISSUE. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE ENTIRE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY MUST BE PURCHASED SINCE THEY DON'T SELL THE DELTA SENSOR SEPARATELY, AND THE COST IS $950 TO REPLACE. I CALLED AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THE NEXT DAY 7/18/14. TODAY 7/24/14, I FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS LETTING ME KNOW THAT THEY WERE UNWILLING TO HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE IT' OUT OF WARRANTY, NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WILL NOT PURSUE ANY FURTHER ACTION IN REGARDS TO MY CASE & CONSIDERED THE MATTER CLOSED. *TR

SUDDEN BRAKE LOSS WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30MPH. IT HAS OCCURRED BEFORE AND SEEMS TO HAVE INCREASED AFTER A FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT. I'D GUESS 10 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK NOW, I'VE KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE FOR SOME TIME AND WAS READING ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WHICH I BELIEVE ONLY COVERED THE RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA AND THE COMMENTS SUGGESTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT HERE. IT'S THE SAME THING, THE EMERGENCY LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN APPLY BRAKES THERE IS NO PRESSURE AND AN AWFUL GRINDING NOISE. ONCE YOU COME TO A SAFE STOP, TURN OFF AND BACK ON, AND THE PROBLEM IS GONE! PREVIOUSLY, IT HAD BEEN WEEKS AND EVEN MAYBE MONTHS IN BETWEEN BUT NOW IT SEEMS TO HAVE TURNED IN A DAILY TASK. ANY UPDATE ON RECALL OR NATIONWIDE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

WENT TO STOP AND HAD NO BRAKES, BRAKE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STILL DID NOT STOP. AVS, BRAKE AND SLIP LIGHTS CAME ON DASH AND AS OF TODAY 06/10/2014 AFTER NEW BRAKE BOOSTER AND MULTIPLE CYLINDER REPLACEMENTS AND TESTING AT NISSAN DEALERSHIPS THE SAME LIGHTS ARE ON. BRAKES GET "SPONGIE" FROM TIME TO TIME AND WE HAVE NO TRACTION TRACTION CONTROL WILL NOT WORK. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V517000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER START. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING, HAD REPLACED, BEGAN LEAKING AGAIN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WERE 107,000.

HAD REAR FIXED AT DEALER AND IT BROKE AGAIN. NOW THE TRUCK HAS SAT SINCE THE DATE OF FAILURE, MEANWHILE IM PAYING ON IT STILL. CALLED NISSAN CORP. THEY SAID (THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS BUT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO FIX IT). NOT A VERY RESPECTABLE CORP.. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, A NOISE EMITTED FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE CONTINUOUSLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V517000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP ON TO THE HIGHWAY AND FELT/HEARD A "CLUNK" IN THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. EVERY TIME I TURNED I HEARD/FELT A "CLUNK". IT WOULD EVEN DO IT EVERY SO OFTEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT IN THE TRUCK. I HAD TO REPLACE IT. *TR

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'.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS TRUCK. I HAVE DRIVEN IT APPROXIMATELY 1300 MILES SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AXLE CLIP HAS BROKEN TWICE IN 300 MILES. I UNDERSTAND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH 100'S OF OWNERS BUT THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD BECOME INOPERABLE IN EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURES. IN ADDITION, THE DOORS COULD NOT BE OPENED. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOWS AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR, THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH SECURELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCHES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY IN REVERSE AND INTO THE STREET. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN SHIFTED INTO 4X4 MODE IN ORDER FOR THE CONTACT TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE WAS 83,200.

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

I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT NHTSA IS FINALLY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT NISSAN TITAN BRAKE PROBLEMS. I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED NO BRAKES AT ALL WHEN THE TRAFFIC SUDDENLY STOPS IN FRONT OF YOU. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THESE BRAKES TO THE NHTSA, NISSAN, ETC, TO NO AVAIL. THE PROBLEM IS VERY INTERMITTENT AND YOU CANNOT SIMPLY TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND SHOW THEM THE PROBLEM. IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHEN THE BRAKES FAIL TO WORK, YOU PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN THE TRUCK 'S IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THE BRAKES ARE THEN RE-SET AND WORKING FINE. MY SON DISCOVERED THIS TEMPORARY FIX SOLUTION. IT IS A SERIOUS, REAL PROBLEM FOR NISSAN TITAN AND ARMADA OWNER'S. IT HAPPENS TO OUR TITAN TWO OR THREE TIMES A YEAR. MANY OWNER'S COMPLAIN OF THE SAME TROUBLE ONLINE. I'D LOVE TO HEAR THAT NISSAN TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL THESE VEHICLES AND SOLVES THIS PROBLEM FOR THEIR LOYAL OWNERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED TO VIBRATE AND FAILED TO ENGAGE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR AND BRAKE BOOSTER SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,611.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, HE HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND BEGAN TO SMELL EXHAUST FUMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE MANIFOLD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

SLOWING FOR A STOP, BRAKE PEDAL MUSHED AND A GRINDING ABS SHUDDER PRESENTED. AS SPEED WAS LOW, I WAS ABLE TO MANAGE A STOP OF THE VEHICLE. RETURNED HOME SLOWLY AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. TWO DAYS AGO THE SLACK PEDAL AND GRINDING NOISE OCCURRED AGAIN. CALLED DEALERSHIP WHO REPLIED "NO AWARENESS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. BRING IN WHEN EXPERIENCING SYMPTOMS." RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. REQUESTED A SERVICE TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR/BOOSTER COMPONENTS. CANNOT IMAGINE DRIVING THIS BIG TRUCK HOPING TO LOSE BRAKING AT A TIME WHEN, WITH NO RISK TO MYSELF OR OTHERS, THE DEALERSHIP CAN SEE/HEAR THE PROBLEM. SHOCKINGLY UNETHICAL! MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT THE NEW COMPONENTS MAY BE JUST AS FAULTY. PLEASE ADD MY VOICE TO THOSE CALLING FOR NISSAN AND/OR THE NTSB TO ADDRESS THIS BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE ... OR HAVE THEY ALREADY AND IT HAS NOT BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO THIS FAILURE?? *TT

WHILE TAKING A EXIT RAMP AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED DUE TO STOPPING TRAFFIC PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH A GRINDING SOUND. I HAD TO SWERVE TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND WENT PAST 2 CARS BEFORE STOPPING IN THE EMERGENCY LANE. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE LIGHT WAS GONE. REPORTED THIS TO THE NISSAN DEALER ....THEY STATED THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE.....THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS ON THE INTERNET AND ALSO FILED WITH NHTSA. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THEY WILL DO NOTHING UNTIL A RECALL. I CERTAINLY HOPE NO ONE DIES FROM THIS AS THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT WILL FOLLOW WILL BE VERY EMBARRASSING TO NHTSA, DOT, AND NISSAN AS YOU HAVE ALL BEEN MADE VERY AWARE OF THIS.... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE EXHAUST MANIFOLD PIPE FRACTURED AND WAS LEAKING FUMES. THE EXHAUST LEAK COULD BE HEARD WHILE DRIVING.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN OVER SEVERAL MONTHS THAT MY DRIVER SIDE DRIVE AXLE FOR MY 4X4 HAS PULLED ITS SELF OUT. IT WAS FIXED ONCE ON MY DIME AND IS NOW GOING TO BE FIXED ON MY DIME AGAIN IT IS A DANGEROUS FAILURE THAT COULD CAUSE MY SUSPENSION TO LOCK UP AN RIP MY WHEEL OFF THEN LEADING TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND THE NHTSA HAS DONE NOTHING TO PURSUE THIS. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT NISSAN WILL NOT COVER IS THE REAR AXLE SEALS THAT BLOW OUT DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN WHICH MAY ALSO LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS ANY OF THESE ISSUES UNDER A RECALL AN THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE SUFFERING FROM THESE ISSUES FROM 04-010 FOR THE AXLE SEALS AND MODEL YEARS 04-08 FOR THE AXLE SHAFT PULLING OUT FROM THE 4X4 CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE TO INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AN THE NHTSA IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT PIECES OF THE SHIFTER BECAME DETACHED AND AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS.

BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ON DASH ILLUMINATED. WHEN BRAKE PRESSURE APPLIED, PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, BRAKES MADE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND AND BRAKING EFFICIENCY WAS GREATLY DIMINISHED. HAD TO DRIVE ONTO RIGHT SHOULDER OF ROADWAY TO AVOID REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ABOUT 3 TIMES PER YEAR ON THIS 61,000 MILE VEHICLE. TOOK TO NISSAN UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE PROBLEM AND RECEIVED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THIS GOT ME OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRED OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY AGAIN, DEALER AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS STATED THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF SAME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT BREATHING IN CARBON MONOXIDE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. UPDATED 8/21/13 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE EXHAUST LEAKS THAT WERE CAUSED BY FAULTY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS FROM NISSAN. THE DEALER AT THE TIME, REPLACED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THEY USED THE SAME MANIFOLD DESIGN AND THIS WAS ALL DONE UNDER WARRANTY. AROUND APRIL 2013, THE CONSUMER BEGAN HEARING THE SAME EXHAUST NOISE FROM BEFORE. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AND THEY INFORMED HIM THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THEY CONFIRMED THAT BOTH MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED AND SHOULD BE REPLACED, WITH A MODIFIED DESIGN MANIFOLD.

NISSAN TITAN EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKS, CAUSING EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER VEHICLE. *TR

IMAGINE DRIVING DOWN A MOUNTAINOUS ROAD IN IDAHO STATE. YOU ARE GOING DOWN A HILL IN A PICK-UP TRUCK PULLING A CAMPER. ALL OF A SUDDEN YOUR VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE - IT WON'T REV OVER 1000 RPM. YOU LOOK TO PULL OVER BUT THERE IS ONLY A SMALL SHOULDER. VEHICLES ARE SKIDDING TRYING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AS YOUR VEHICLE IS DISABLED AND ONLY PARTIALLY OFF THE ROAD. AFTER FIXING THE PROBLEM, I REALIZED THE TRUCK SHOULD NEVER HAVE GONE INTO LIMP MODE. IT IS A CRITICAL DESIGN FLAW WITH THE VEHICLE. I WAS PUT IN HARMS WAY FOR NO REASON. ALL VEHICLES USE TO HAVE THE ENGINE SPEED CONTROLLED VIA MECHANICAL LINKAGE OR CABLES FOR THE GAS PEDAL. VERY FEW FAILURES EXISTED WITH THIS DESIGN. TODAY GAS PEDAL RUN BY A WIRE THAT SENDS AN ELECTRONIC SIGNAL TO THE VEHICLES COMPUTER. THE COMPUTER IN TURN EVALUATES THE GAS PEDAL POSITION WHICH THEN SENDS A SIGNAL TO THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THROTTLE BODY TO CONTROL THE ENGINE. THE CRITICAL DESIGN FLAW COMES INTO PLAY WHEN VEHICLE DESIGNERS COMBINE OTHER ELECTRONIC SENSORS ON THE SAME CIRCUIT AS THE GAS PEDAL. NON-CRITICAL COMPONENTS LIKE GAS EVAPORATOR SENSORS, POWER STEERING SENSORS, AIR CONDITIONER SENSORS. WHEN ANY OF THESE NON-CRITICAL ITEMS EXPERIENCE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, THE VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE POTENTIALLY PUTTING DRIVERS IN HARM'S WAY DOES THIS RECOMMENDED SOLUTION FIX ALL PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE GAS PEDAL? NO IT DOES NOT. IT IS A LOT SAFER. I BELIEVE NHTSA SHOULD EVALUATE & ASSESS THIS CRITICAL DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE BEEN A CONTROLS ENGINEER FOR 28 YRS AND THIS DESIGN IS NOT SAFE. PLEASE REFER THEIR MODEL A60 SERIES MANUAL. NOV 2003 EDITION, REV-APRIL 2004, PUB NO. SM4E-1A60U1. SECTION B , PAGES EC-423 THRU 427. I WOULD FIND IT SATISFACTORY IF NISSAN REDESIGNED AND FIXED ALL VEHICLES BY SEPARATING CIRCUITS WITH CRITICAL ENGINE COMPONENTS FROM NON-CRITICAL COMPONENTS. *TR

ON 6/20/2008 I WENT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE A RECALL ITEM TO REPLACE REAR DOOR WIRING HARNESS, RECALL # R0616. THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED AND IN THE PROCESS THE DEALERSHIP ALSO REPLACED LH-PRETENSIONER, SEATBELT AND BODY HARNESS, AND RESET AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. ON 6/03/2013, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND I WENT TO A NEARBY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE LH-PRETENSIONER, SEATBELT AND BODY HARNESS, I INFORMED THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THIS WORK WAS ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED ONCE AND THAT I HAD THE DOCUMENTS IF HE NEEDED THEM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR THEN STATED THAT SINCE THE WORK WAS ACCOMPLISHED FIVE YEARS AGO THAT EVEN THOUGH THE PARTS ARE A SAFETY ITEM THAT THEY WERE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, RESULTING IN A 574.30 CHARGE OF WHICH I PAID. MY CONTENTION IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM, AND THUS SHOULD NOT HAVE A WARRANTY RESTRICTION, I AM NOT SURE IF THE TRUCK IS EVEN SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FAULTY WIRE HARNESS RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL REMEDY FAILED AND WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX.

I WAS TRAVELING TOWING A 33 FT CAMPER. USUALLY TOW AT ABOUT 62 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK CUTS OUT THEN TURNS BACK ON AND "BUCKS". MY LIGHTS ON MY DASH LIGHT UP LIKE A COLOR BLINKING CHRISTMAS TREE. MY SPEEDOMETER GOES ALL THE WAY TO 140 MPH, MY RPMS MAX OUT, MY FUEL GAUGE GOES UP AND DOWN ALONG WITH THE TEMP GAUGE. FURTHERMORE ALL THE GAUGES AND WARNING LIGHTS FLASH OR MOVE IN NO FORM OR FASHION. STEERING GETS STIFF ALONG WITH THE BRAKES BECAUSE THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF. I CONTROLLED THE TRUCK TO AVOID CRASHING IN BETWEEN THE ON AND OFF PERIODS. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THOUGHT IT WAS WIRING FROM CAMPER OR BRAKE CONTROLLER. HOWEVER, OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS FROM ABOUT MID SEPT IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. NOW I CAN'T GO OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY BEFORE THE TRUCK STARTS ACTING UP. THERE IS A BAD ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IN MY PAST EXPERIENCE WITH NISSAN IS THEY ARE RELUCTANT TO SAY ANYTHING IS WRONG AND TO FIX THINGS. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH GO WRONG WITH MY TRUCK FROM BRAKES, ELECTRICAL, AND REAR END UNIT. JUST LAST WEEKEND 20 OCT 12 I TOOK THE TRUCK ON ABOUT A 15 MILE ROUND TRIP AND IT ACTED UP AGAIN. BETWEEN JULY AND SEPT 2012 THE TRUCK WOULD START THE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF IN PARKED POSITION. IT STILL DOES THAT NOW TOO. THE TRUCK IS NOW PARKED UNTIL I FIGURE WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE MEGA BUCKS TO FIX IT! SOMEONE SAID NISSAN HAS A COMPUTER RECALL BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED AND I CONTACTED A DEALER BUT THEY HAVE NOT CALLED BACK. ITS BEEN 3 DAYS NOW. THEY SAID THE DESCRIPTION I GAVE THEM MATCHES THE RECALL?????????? *TR

ON MAY 3, 2012, I SAW MY SIDE MIRROR LIGHTS WERE NOT TURNING OFF, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. I SCHEDULED WORK FOR MY TRUCK FOR MAY 5, 2012.

WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE WORK I TRIED TO START MY TRUCK AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER, TRIED TO JUMP START WITH NO SUCCESS AND EVEN HAD A TOW TRUCK COMPANY ATTEMPT TO START THE TRUCK. AFTER THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO LOCAL SHOP THE TRUCK STARTED UP WITH NO PROBLEM AND THE MECHANIC SAID SINCE ITS NOT SHOWING ANY ISSUES THAT IT DID BEFORE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. ON MAY 5, 2012 I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THEY ALSO FIXED A RECALL WITH THE ECM RELAY. ON THE SAME DAY AROUND 6 PM IN THE AFTERNOON THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON MAY 6, 2012 AND ON MAY 7, 2012 THE TECHNICIANS AT NISSAN CONTACTED ME STATING IT WAS MY BCM WHICH WAS IN THE SAME AREA AS THE ECM. I HAD TO PAY ABOUT 600 DOLLARS FOR A NEW BCM. I BELIEVE THE BCM WENT OUT DUE TO THE RECALL WORK THAT WAS PERFORMED EARLIER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE LOCAL MECHANIC FOR ROUTINE INSPECTION THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS LEAKING DUE TO A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

THE WIRING HARNESS, IN THE BACK DOOR HAS BROKEN, BECAUSE OF A NISSAN ENGINEERING PROBLEM, BOTH THE HARNESS AND WIRES HAVE BROKEN, WHICH ACCORDING TO NHTSA THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY, RESULTING IN MY HAVING AN UNSAFE TRUCK ACCORDING TO NHTSA, I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAMPAIGN HAD ENDED, SO THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR MY TRUCK ACCORDING TO THE GUIDELINES SET BY NHTSA. AT WHAT POINT DOES NISSAN DECIDE THAT THEY CAN DECIDE WHICH TRUCKS TO REPAIR, I HAVE TO WONDER HOW MANY OTHER UNSAFE NISSAN TRUCKS ARE ON THE HIGHWAYS. *TR

THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED INTERMITTENT CHEMICAL TYPE ODOR THROUGH HVAC SYSTEM, 3 DEALERSHIPS UNABLE/UNWILLING TO CONFIRM, OR SEEK DIRECTION FROM CORPORATE AS TO METHOD FOR RESOLUTION AT MY SUGGESTION/REQUEST. I WAITED ONE YEAR TO ALLOW FOR VEHICLE TO "OFF-GAS" INTERIOR ODORS FROM MATERIALS USED IN MANUFACTURE, HAD TO INSIST THAT DEALER STAFF DOCUMENT THE CONCERN WHICH IS YET UNRESOLVED AND DENIED ASSISTANCE FROM CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT TO SATISFY HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERNS. INCURRED SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL EXPENSES TO ALLEVIATE ISSUE SUCH AS IN CABIN AIR FILTER AND PURCHASE OF IONIZING UNIT; PLUS MISSED WORKDAYS, TRANSPORTATION, FUEL AND SERVICE AND DIAGNOSTIC FEES AT DEALERSHIPS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, HE NOTICED THAT THE EXHAUST WAS LOUDER THAN NORMAL. THE CONTACT WAS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD, WHICH HE WAS CONCERNED WOULD LEAK HARMFUL FUMES INTO THE INTERIOR CABIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, HE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH WAS HESITANT TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED ON ITS OWN INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN AXLE FAILURE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A MANUFACTURE RECALL FOR A BRAKE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

WHILE REPLACING LIFETIME WARRANTIED SUSPENSION WHICH WAS NOT HONORED BY NISSAN OR TENNECO, I FOUND THE REAR PINION SEAL TO BE LEAKING SEVERELY, AND REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING IN WHEEL ASSEMBLY. POSSIBLE SOURCE OF "TICKING" NOISE FROM DIFFERENTIAL, WHICH UNTIL THEN I THOUGHT WERE EXHAUST HEAT SHIELDS. THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE CATASTROPHIC DRIVETRAIN FAILURE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE FLUID LEAKING FROM AXLE SEAL CAN REDUCE EFFECTIVENESS OF BRAKING COMPONENTS. OTHER OWNERS HAVE DESCRIBED INADEQUATE ENGINEERING & POSSIBLE USE OF SUBSTANDARD DIFFERENTIAL MATERIALS & COMPONENTS ALONG WITH AXLE VENT ASSEMBLIES WHICH COULD CREATE INTERNAL PRESSURE CONDITIONS THAT COULD CAUSE SEALS TO FAIL. *TR

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MAKE OF VEHICLE. THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BEEN REPORTED, BUT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN TITANS (MANY YEARS) WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKING. I HAVE A 2004 AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE BEEN CRACKED FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS NOW. I CONTACTED NISSAN, THEY SUGGESTED TO CONTACT NISSAN CORPORATE, AND PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF LUCK. THE MANIFOLDS ARE OVER $850 EACH, AND BOTH OF MINE ARE SEVERELY CRACKED, CAUSING ENGINE, EMISSION, AND SAFETY/HEALTH PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MANY O2 SENSORS, CAT'S, AND MUFFLERS, DUE TO BURNING UP, AND HAVE TO DRIVE WITH ALL MY WINDOWS DOWN AND SHORT TRIPS DUE TO THE EXHAUST FILLING THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, AS THIS IS NOT ONLY AN ISSUE, BUT A MAJOR FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE HAD CHECKED OUT AT A LOCAL SHOP, AND THEIR EXACT WORDS WERE "THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO FLEX IN THE EXHAUST, SO WHEN THE ENGINE SHIFTS FROM DRIVING AND REVVING, THE MANIFOLDS ARE THE WEAKEST POINT AND THEREFORE CRACK". SOMETHING SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE DONE OR LOOKED INTO. MANY NISSAN TITAN FORUMS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. USUALLY ONLY ONE IS CRACKED, BUT I HAVE BOTH CRACKED. IF YOU NEED A VEHICLE TO INSPECT, YOU CAN LOOK AT MINE. I EVEN HAD THE EXHAUST UPGRADED TO BIGGER EXHAUST IN HOPES OF RELIEVING SOME OF THE PRESSURE, SO IT DOESN'T LEAK ALL OUT UNDER THE HOOD, AND THAT HAS HELPED SOME, BUT THIS IS SERIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN AND USABILITY OF THESE NISSAN TITAN TRUCKS. AND, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ALOT OF PEOPLE, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND OVER $1600 IN JUST 2 PARTS, PLUS ALL THE OTHER REQUIRED PARTS, WHEN I CAN BARELY AFFORD TO PAY THE BANK ON THE TRUCK. *TR *BF *TR

THE REAR AXLE HUB SEALS LEAKED AFTER THE 1ST AND ONLY PULLING EVER DONE WITH MY 2004 (4 X 2) SE TITAN P/P. MY VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH " BIG TOW PKG." DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE. " NO" PULLING OR TOWING DONE SINCE REPLACEMENT BY DEALER SVC. DONE 12/24/2008 AT 85,417 MILES. HOWEVER, A RIGHT/PASSENGER SEAL LEAK NOTICED ON 08/29/2012 AT 152,247 MILES. I WAS TOLD BY THE REGIONAL WARRANTY SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED WITH AN " UPGRADED BETTER AXLE SYSTEM " WHICH WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WHEN THE REAR END WAS REPLACED. THE REAR AXLE DIFF. FLUID LEAK IS CAUSING PERIODIC BRAKING ISSUES AND NOISES. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFE BRAKING, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN WET WEATHER. NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE REAR AXLE OIL SEAL LEAKS ONTO THE REAR BRAKES CAUSING THEM TO NOT WORK. *TR

WHEN DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL ROAD, THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THEN, WHEN SLOWING TO TURN, BRAKES SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND DID NOT FEEL AS IF THEY WOULD SUCCEED IN STOPPING THE VEHICLE. I SLOWED ENOUGH TO TURN, THEN PROCEEDED SLOWLY TO MAKE 2 MORE IMMEDIATE TURNS BEFORE REACHING MY HOUSE. THE BRAKES SHUDDERED AND WERE NOT 100% EFFECTIVE EACH TIME THE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. FLUID LEVELS ARE NORMAL, BRAKE COMPONENTS LOOK GOOD. AFTER TURNING TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON, PROBLEM WAS NOT ABLE TO BE REPLICATED. HOWEVER, AFTER DOING ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS AS YET REFUSED TO ADDRESS, EVEN THOUGH IT COULD LEAD TO COLLISIONS AND FATALITIES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 10 MPH WHEN THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINED JUST AS THE BRAKES SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MOVE OFF THE ROADWAY WHERE THE BRAKES INDEPENDENTLY RELEASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN COLUMN SHIFT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V408000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 45 MPH WHEN THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ABNORMALLY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL INTO THE FLOORBOARD BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ALSO ACTIVATED ERRONEOUSLY BUT WAS THE ONLY FUNCTIONING BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE COMPUTER WAS RESET HOWEVER FAILURE RECURRED THREE WEEKS LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND OFFERED TO ASSISTANCE WITH THE CONTACT WITH THE COST OF THE COMPUTER RESET. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,771.

I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER AT WALLACE NISSAN, KINGSPORT, TN, TO FIND OUT IF THEY WOULD REPAIR THE BROKEN WIRE IN THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE REAR DOOR, I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AND BY NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS OFFICE THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT REPAIR THE BROKEN WIRE, EVEN THOUGH THE NHTSA HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, NISSAN TOLD ME THAT THE CAMPAIGN HAD ENDED AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AS I RECALL IN THE NHTSA RECALL THE WIRING AFFECTS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN WHY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAS BEEN FLASHING CONTINUOUSLY FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS OFFICE BUT THEY HAVE QUIT ANSWERING MY EMAILS TO THEM, ALL I AM ASKING IS FOR NISSAN TO REPAIR THE WIRING HARNESS AND BROKEN WIRES ON MY UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR RECALL # 06V459000.

REAR AXLE FELL APART WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNINGS, OR ANYTHING. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND REAR AXLE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF 3500 PER INCIDENT. ONLY LIGHT DRIVING HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS VEHICLE. NO TOWING, NO HEAVY LOADS, NO ANYTHING. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND DRIVING ONTO A MAIN STREET WHEN I HEARD A CLUNK CLUNK AND THE REAR END STARTED HOPPING AND I NOTICED I HAD NO GEARS. WE CALL ED AAA AND HAD THEM TOW US TO A FEW DIFFERENT PLACES BEFORE WE ENDED UP AT NISSAN IN SPOKANE VALLEY AND THEY PUT IN A BRAND NEW REAR END. PRICE AND LABOR COST US...$3,583.33. *TR

ON CERTAIN KING CAB TRUCKS, THE WIRES IN THE HARNESS WERE ROUTED THROUGH THE REAR DOORS AND INTO THE BODY. THESE WIRES MAY BREAK DUE TO OVER BENDING OF THE HARNESS AS THE DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED. THE HARNESS CONTAINS WIRES FOR THE DRIVER SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER AND FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WHICH IS PART OF THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. WIRES FOR THE REAR AUDIO SPEAKERS ARE ALSO CONTAINED N THE HARNESS. CONSEQUENCE: IF THE WIRES FOR THE SEAT BELTS AND SPEAKER WIRES BREAK AND MAKE CONTACT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE PRETENSIONER MAY DEPLOY. IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS RETRACTED, IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO USE THE SEAT BELT. IF ONE OF THE WIRES ON THE RIGHT SIDE HARNESS FOR THE SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR BREAKS, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AS DESIGNED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH AND PERSONAL INJURY. I WENT TO WALLACE NISSAN, KINGSPORT, TN, ON 07/18/2012 AND DESCRIBED THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROBLEM, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAMPAIGN HAD ENDED AND THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THIS PROBLEM, I EXPLAINED THAT THE DOME LIGHTS AND THE DOOR LOCK WERE EFFECTED BY THIS FLAWED DESIGN PROBLEM,. I AM VERY MUCH AFRAID THAT THE BROKEN WIRES WILL SHORT OUT AND START A FIRE. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK - REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING SO BADLY OIL IS GETTING ON THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS CAUSING THEM TO BE IN-OPERATIVE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY MANY TITAN OWNERS AS SHOWN WITH A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH. *TR

REAR PASSENGER AXLE SEAL IS LEAKING AND IS COATING BRAKE PADS AND BRAKE ROTORS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE LEAKING ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS VEHICLE IS NOT HIGH MILEAGE NOR IS IT DRIVEN CRAZY/RECKLESSLY. THIS IS CAUSING BRAKES TO NOT BE AS EFFECTIVE AS IT SHOULD BE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EXHAUST FUMES WERE EMITTED INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO CRACKS ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, WHICH WAS UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT HE COULD REPLACE BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE COULD SMELL FUEL FUMES INSIDE OF THE CABIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INSPECTED. THE MECHANIC FOUND A DEFECT ON THE EXHAUST PIPE AND BOTH MANIFOLDS HAD CRACKS IN THEM. IN ORDER TO REPAIR VEHICLE, THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND CATALYST NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COULD SMELL FUMES INSIDE VEHICLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 113,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING OIL AND ACCUMULATES ON BRAKE ROTOR COVER. IF NOT CORRECTED , COULD LEAD TO FAILURE OF ENTIRE DRIVE ASSEMBLY DUE TO ABSENCE OF FLUID. *JS

I TOO HAVE2004 TITAN WHIT BRAKE PROBLEM, WARNIN LIGHT COMES ON PEDEL GOSE TO FLOOR.REPLACE BRAKE DISK AND INSPETED ALL BRAKE PARTS PROBLEM KEEP COMEING BACK AFTER SEVERL DAYS . NISSAN NEED TO DO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V459000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WIRING HARNESS. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE SRS LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE WIRING HARNESS ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BUT ALSO STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED. THE CONTACT DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM THE DEALER AND CONTACTED THEM AFTER SOME TIME. THE TECHNICIAN THEN ADVISED THAT ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST WOULD HAVE TO BE PERFORMED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE BECAUSE THE PART HAD ARRIVED AND WAS SENT BACK. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO AVOID HITTING THE REAR END OF ANOTHER CAR WHILE IT WAS STOPPED TO MAKE A TURN. WITHOUT WARNING, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE ABS UNIT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE PEDAL ACTION CONTINUED UNTIL I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. WHEN STOPPED I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND IT WAS AT THE MAX LINE ON THE RESERVOIR. AS A MECHANIC, I LATER CHECKED THE VEHICLE FOR CODES STORED. IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE CODE "C1179" INDICATING A POSSIBLE DELTA STROKE SENSOR/SIGNAL FAULT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITH THIS TRUCK. LUCKILY, THE FIRST TIME, NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. I REALLY AM CONCERNED THAT THIS TYPE OF FAULT COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE ANY OCCUPANT(S) IN EITHER VEHICLE OR POSSIBLY A PEDESTRIAN. IT MAY PROVE TO BE FATAL IN ANY CASE. ONE POSSIBLE FIX COULD BE TO ALLOW THE ABS UNIT TO BE TURNED OFF WHEN CODE "C1179" OCCURS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT BAD SO I HAD THE REAR END REPLACED IN JUNE OF 2010. IN MAY OF 2012 I NOTICED THE REAR END LEAKING FLUID ALL OVER MY ROTORS. THIS COULD CAUSE MY BRAKES TO FAIL. OTHER TITAN OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITIAN. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC. THE MECHANIC STATED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS FRACTURED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

I FIRST HEARD A "WHINE" OR "HOWL" COMING FROM THE REAR END 2 YEARS AGO, WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME I NEED A COMPLETE REAR END ASSEMBLY AT THE COST OF 4000$. I COULD NOT AFFORD THAT, AND THEY SAID YOU COULDN'T REBUILD THE REAR END, BECAUSE NISSAN WOULDN'T RELEASE THE PARTS FOR IT. I DROVE ON IT FOR 2 YEARS BEFORE IT WENT OUT ON ME ON THE 21ST OF APRIL, 2012. IVE READ UP ON HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS, ABOUT THE REAR ENDS ON NISSAN TITANS GOING OUT, AND NISSAN NOT HAVING A RECALL. *TR

HAD THE REAREND GO OUT 91,000 MILES HAD NISSAN REBUILD THEN WENT OUT AGAIN AT 94,000 MILES NISSAN DIDN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR WARRANTY NOW STILL SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY TILL FIND A GOOD SALVAGE ONE . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EXHAUST FUMES EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,972.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN THE REAR WIRING HARNESS IS ROUTED OVER THE FRAME RAIL DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE TAILPIPE CAUSING IT TO MELT IN THE EVENT OF AN EXHAUST LEAK. THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND NOW I'M STUCK SPLICING WIRES TOGETHER AS THE LOCAL DEALER IN SAINT JOHN NB WANT OVER $1000.00 TO REPLACE, THIS PROBLEM SEEM TO BE A COMMON ONE AMONG OTHER OWNERS I HAVE TALKED TO AND POSES A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD / POTENTIAL ACCIDENT DUE TO COMPLETE SUDDEN LOSS OF ALL POWER. NISSAN CANADA SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS (I'M SURE THEY ALREADY ARE) TO AVOID ANY LEGAL PROBLEMS THAT MAY ARISE DUE TO THEM NOT RECOMMENDING AN INSPECTION / NOTICE OR RECALL OF THE REAR WIRING HARNESS. *TR

DRIVER SIDE BEARING FAILURE SEAL FAILURE CAUSING AXLE OIL TO POUR OUT AND AXLE SHAFT TO FALL OUT. EMERGENCY BRAKES FAILED DUE TO BEING COVERED IN OIL. *TR

JUST HAD BOTH MANIFOLDS REPLACED UNDER NISSAN WARRANTY. AS I WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP I HEARD A LOUD POP TURNING RIGHT FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. TURNED AROUND BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIPS PARKING LOT I HEARD ANOTHER POP? THE SERVICE TECH DROVE IT AROUND THEIR SERVICE AREA AND SAID MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS GOING OUT. NISSAN HAS KNOWN THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR YEARS ESPECIALLY IN THE EARLY TRUCKS YEARS BUT REFUSES TO FIX IT UNDER A RECALL. THIS IS A $3500.00 FIX WHICH THE CONSUMER HAS TO PAY AND NISSAN PROFITS FROM A POORLY DESIGNED COMPONENT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON ALL NISSAN TITANS FROM '04 - '07. *TR

BOTH REAR WHEEL AXLE SEALS HAVE FAILED AT 67,906 MILES. LEAKING BOTH SIDES. CAUGHT IN TIME SO THAT REAR BRAKES ARE NOT DESTROYED AND REAR END/DIFFERENTIAL NOT DESTROYED. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AFFECTING THIS TRUCK PRIOR TO 2008. A DEFINITE DESIGN DEFECT. SOMEDAY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT DUE TO REAR BRAKE FAILURE OR LOSS OF CONTROL WHEN CATASTROPHIC REAR END FAILURE OCCURS. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON DRIVER SIDE CRACKED AND LEAKING EXHAUST FUMES INTO CABIN OF VEHICLE. *TR

TRUCK WAS DUE FOR A STATE INSPECTION, TRUCK WOULD NOT PASS- BECAUSE OF REAR BRAKES NOT FUNCTIONING DUE TO LEAKING REAR AXLE SEALS. REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING CAUSING EMERGENCY BRAKE TO NOT FUNCTION. FOUND A FORUM WITH THE SAME PROBLEM MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING-TITANTALK. HOW CAN THIS PROBLEM, WHICH IS A SAFETY PROBLEM, NOT BE A SAFETY RECALL? COME ON NISSAN, YOU JUST LOST ANOTHER CUSTOMER. THANKS TO YOU, I WILL BE ONLY BUYING GM PRODUCTS. *TR

AFTER FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE 4WD. TOOK TO DEALER AND REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER 1 1/2 YEARS STARTED TO WHINE AND GRIND AGAIN DEALERSHIP SAID SORRY WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. 3 DIFFERENTIALS IN 3 YEARS WOOHOO A REAL WINNER HERE. *KB

EXACTLY LIKE THE FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND XTERRA, THE RADIATOR FAILED CAUSING COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. *TR

FAILURE OF FRONT CONTROL ARMS, ACCORDING TO NISSAN WEBSITE (MANY OTHER VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR SAME, NOT MINE) THIS COULD RESULT IN COLLISION. MECHANIC STATED THE WHEEL WOULD COME OFF WITH FAILURE. NISSAN DEALERSHIP DISCOVERED THE WELD WAS FAILING AND TOLD ME THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED, BUT THAT WHILE 1800+ VEHICLES WERE SHOWN TO BE AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE, MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON LIST. NISSAN NEEDS TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED AT THE DEALER FOR AN UNRELATED ISSUE, THE DEALER NOTICED THAT BOTH FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS WERE DAMAGED. THE DEALER STATED TO THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE DAMAGE OF THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH OCCURRING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC TO HAVE THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D.

THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SPEAK WITH THE MANUFACTURER FOR TWO WEEKS BUT THEY WOULD NOT RETURN HIS CALL. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

REAR DIFF STARTED WITH SMALL WINE NOISE IN AM ON WAY TO WORK - 11.6 MILES. WENT TO LUNCH - ANOTHER 6 MILES - NOISE A LITTLE LOUDER - NOT BAD - JUST A LITTLE LOUDER. GO HOME IN EVENING - MADE IT ANOTHER 6 MILES AND NOISE SOUNDED LIKE SOME ONE WAS CRASHING INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AS THE BACK END LOCKED UP AND SENT ME SKIDDING ACROSS THE ROAD. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN THE LANE NEXT ME!! FAILURE ACCORDING TO DEALER WAS FROM THE 'VENT' TUBE BEING CLOGGED AND CAUSING IT OVERHEAT AND BLOW THE SEALS... SO, ALMOST A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT IF WAS ON HIGHWAY, AND NOW 3500 DOLLARS TO FIX BECAUSE OF A 5 DOLLAR CHECK VALVE! THIS IS INSANE. GOOGLE AROUND FOR THE TITAN REAR DIFF, AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE OUT THERE!!!! *TR

THE REAL AXLE SEALS IN BOTH SIDES ARE GONE AND CONTINUOUS LEAKING IS INEVITABLE. *TR

THE SEAL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR FAILED, BEGAN TO LEAK OIL ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF THE RIM AND THE BRAKES. THIS WAS WITHIN A FEW MILES AFTER HAVING HAD A DEALERSHIP PRESS A NEW BEARING ONTO THE AXLE AND OCCURRED WITHIN AN HOUR OF THE VEHICLE HAVING BEEN PICKED UP FROM THE SHOP. DEALERSHIP ADMITS TO HAVING SEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND KNOWING THAT IT WOULD LEAK BUT HAVING DECIDED TO NOT INFORM THE CUSTOMER ABOUT THE ISSUE. *TR

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2004 NISSAN TITAN FROM A DEALERSHIP IN OHIO IN SEPTEMBER OF 2004. HAD A FEW OTHER ISSUES ABOUT THE TRUCK DURING ALL THIS TIME OF OWNERSHIP BUT NISSAN HAD ISSUED RECALLS TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE ISSUES AND I WAS PLEASED WITH THEM AND THEIR SERVICE. I AM AT PRESENT EXPERIENCING REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS RELATED TO LEAKING REAR SEALS AND FAULTY COMPONENTS IN THE ENTIRE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF REPORTED DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS ON THE 2004 THROUGH 2010 TITANS AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO ELIMINATE THIS SAFETY DEFECT AND RECALL ALL THE TITANS FOR NEW DIFFERENTIAL REPLACEMENTS AT NISSANS EXPENSE. I HOPE TO GOD PEOPLE DRIVING THE TITANS ARE NOT KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM AND DEFECT IN WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIAL. I WILL NEVER DEAL WITH NISSAN EVER AGAIN FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYONE I COME IN CONTACT WITH FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE WILL BE TOLD BY ME HOW UNRELIABLE AND HONEST THE NISSAN COMPANY IS I JUST SPENT 2900.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY DIFFERENTIAL WITH A NEWLY ENGINEERED AND DESIGNED DIFFERENTIAL MADE BY DESIGNED BY AND INSTALL ON MY TRUCK BY NISSAN EMPLOYEE'S. NEVER AGAIN! *TR

I HAVE NOW ONLY OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR ONE YEAR. I AM ONLY THE SECOND OWNER. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE DRIVE TRAIN ISSUES NOW WITH THIS TRUCK AND IT IS ONLY CURRENTLY AT 75,000 MILES AS OF 11/20/2011. 04/22/11 TURNED A CORNER FROM A FOUR WAY STOP TO HEAR A LIGHT GRINDING NOISE THAT TURNED TO A HEAVY CLUNK AND TIRE HOP. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL TRUSTED AUTO REPAIR TECH TO FIND THAT MY E-LOCKER DETERIORATED AND LITERALLY GRENADED MY WHOLE CARRIER ASSEMBLY. THE ONLY FIX ACCORDING TO NISSAN IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AS IN NEW CASE FULLY ASSEMBLED W/ ROTORS AND ALL. LOCAL SHOP DID RESEARCH AND SAID THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THEY HAVE A LOT AND NISSAN DOES NOT SELL INDIVIDUAL PARTS TO REPLACE. LOCAL SHOP HAD TO BUILD WHOLE NEW CUSTOM REAR END FROM SEALS IN W/ A DETROIT TRUE TRAC MECHANICAL LOCKER. AT THE SAME TIME SHORTLY AFTER FOUND GEAR OIL IN DRIVEWAY FROM FRONT PUMPKIN TO FIND DRIVERS SIDE C-CLIP BROKE AND AXLE SHAFT IS NOT ENGAGING (IN OTHER WORDS NO DEPENDABLE 4WD) HAD THAT ALL FIXED IN 05/2011 AND SEEMED OKAY NEVER HAD USED THE 4WD. NOW 11/19/11 WENT TO GO FIND A CHRISTMAS TREE AND TURNED ON THE 4WD AGAIN JUST IN CASE. ONCE AGAIN A BROKEN C-CLIP OUT OF NOWHERE. I HAVE NOW HAD TWO BROKEN C-CLIPS WITHIN ABOUT 6 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER W/O 4WD BEING USED. BOUGHT THE TRUCK FOR $16K AND HAVE NOW PUT IN ALMOST ANOTHER $4K IN FRONT AND REAR END REPAIRS. NISSAN IS LOSING A LOT OF CUSTOMERS BY NOT OWNING UP TO THEIR MISTAKES AND DESIGN FLAWS. *TR

DISCOVERED THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR AXLE OIL SEAL LEAKING. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IN ACCORDANCE WITH NISSAN MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES. DISCOVERED NISSAN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB)NTB10-032 STATING ENTIRE AXLE SHAFT ASSEMBLY (AXLE, NEW RETAINER, AXLE BEARING, OIL SEAL, BEARING CAGE, AND ABS ROTOR) BE REPLACED ON 2004-2008 MODELS WHEN OIL LEAKS ARE DISCOVERED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE TSB DID NOT ELABORATE WHY THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY IS TO BE REPLACED. IT CAN ONLY BE ASSUMED THAT ALL PARTS OF THE ASSEMBLY ARE CONSIDERED DEFECTIVE AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. I PRESENTED THE TSB TO MY NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THEY ONLY NEED TO REPLACE THE OIL SEAL, AXLE BEARING, AND SPACER CONTRARY TO THE PRESCRIBED SERVICE PROCEDURE IN THE TSB. WITHIN 200 MILES OF REPLACEMENT, THE NEW OIL SEAL LEAKS INDICATING THE CAUSE OF THE SEAL FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. UNRESOLVED AXLE SEAL LEAKS WILL RESULT IN AXLE FAILURE AND BRAKE FAILURES WHEN PADS ARE SOAKED BY GEAR OIL LEAKS. *TR

RIGHT SIDE AXLE IS LEAKING FLUID TO REAR DISK BRAKE. TO FIX ONE SIDE IS 2200. AFTER SEARCHING ON TITAN FORUMS, DISCOVERED THIS TO BE A DEFECT WITH THIS TRUCK. THIS IS A TRUCK THAT HAD SYNTHETIC DIFF OIL AND NEVER TOWED, YET HAS SUCH MAJOR FAILURE SO SOON? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING AND HAS CAUSED MY REAR BRAKES TO SLIP DUE TO THE DIFFERENTIAL OIL GETTING ON MY BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. THIS IS MY SECOND ENCOUNTER OF THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN STILL REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS HE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD DRIVE SLUGGISHLY AND IT WAS LOSING GAS MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED HIM THAT HIS MANIFOLD FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 118,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKED AND BEGAN SPRAYING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ON THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE BRAKING DISTANCE INCREASED ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER WHO STATED THE REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK WAS VERY COMMON. THE DEALER STATED THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT DID NOT REPLACE THE REAR AXLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

RIGHT REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEAL FAILED - LEAKED OIL INTO RIGHT REAR BRAKE. *TR

WINDING NOISE COMING OUT OF REAR END, REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILING, BEARINGS FAILING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65 MPH. I WAS GOING THAT SPEED WHEN, WHAT I THOUGHT WAS MY DRIVE SHAFT, BASICALLY EXPLODED AND FELL APART WHILST I WAS IN MOTION. I HAVE KEPT UP ONE ALL MANDATORY AND BASIC MAINTENANCE WORK AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT BEFORE. PARTS FLEW OUT FROM ALL AROUND MY TRUCK AND IT SLAMMED INTO A COMPLETE STOP AS IF I HAD MADE IMPACT INTO SOMETHING. PASSING VEHICLES HAD TO STAY CLEAR OF THE DEBRIS AN I HAD TO PUSH MY TRUCK INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. HIGHWAY PATROL ASKED IF I WAS ALRIGHT AND I STATED TO HAVE ALREADY HAD A TOW TRUCK ON ITS WAY. WHEN MY TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE SHOP THEY SAID THE REAR END ACTUALLY GAVE WAY AND BROKE, INCLUDING THE DRIVE SHAFT WHICH SNAPPED INTO TWO PIECES, ONE OF WHICH WAS LAUNCHED INTO TRAFFIC. LUCKILY NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE DAMAGED NOR PEOPLE HURT. THE MECHANICS SAID THEY'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 57 YEARS AND I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE COME OUT OF THAT THE WAY I DID, BECAUSE IN MOST CASES THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE FLIPPED AND ROLLED. THE DAMAGES WERE EXTENSIVE AND EXTREME FOR SOMETHING I HAD NO CONTROL OVER. THE SHOP INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WAY I WAS DRIVING IT OR ANYTHING I COULD HAVE DONE, AND THEY FOUND IT "WEIRD" THAT IT HAPPENED THE WAY IT DID. VERY DANGEROUS AND NEAR TRAUMATIZING. I WAS UNABLE TO SELECT THE CORRECT COMPONENTS ABOVE SO I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR THAT IT HAD EVERYTHING TO DO WITH MY DRIVE SHAFT, REAR DIFFERENTIAL, AND POWER LINE. *TR

DURING A TURN ONTO ANOTHER STREET, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BROKE APART AND SEIZED, STOPPING THE TRUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. *KB

2004 NISSAN TITAN EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED THIS IS A EMISSION ISSUE. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN VIN [XXX] AT 90K MILES THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKED ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. NISSAN COVERS THIS UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 80K MILES FOR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE TRUCK HAS HAD NO MODIFICATION AND WILL NOT PASS STATE EMISSIONS AND GETS HORRIBLE GAS MILEAGE DUE TO THIS. NOW AT 104 K I HAVE VISITED MULTIPLE DEALERS AND THEY AGREE THIS IS COMMON ISSUE WITH THE TITAN'S AND THE CRACK WILL MAKE A 5 YEAR OLD TRUCK NOT PASS STATE EMISSIONS. TO REPLACE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WITH STOCK PARTS IS $1200; WHICH FRUSTRATES ME SINCE THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN WHICH CAUSES THE MANIFOLDS TO MOVE DIFFERENTLY THEN THE ENGINE MOUNTS ALLOW THE ENGINE TO. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR INTO DEALER FOR SERVICE. FOUND TWO CRACKED MANIFOLDS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ENGINE RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE NOISE AND EXHAUST GASES TO BE RELEASED INTO THE CAB. BOTH SIDES NEED FULL REPLACEMENT AT NEARLY $1,200 PER SIDE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 70K MILES ON THE CLOCK. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING TO GO ON A 13 HOUR DRIVE, ALL OF OUR ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE TRUCK BECAME SLUGGISH. WE HAD TRUCK TOWED AND GOT A CALL FROM DEALERSHIP SAYING WHAT HAPPEN WAS MUFFLER/EXHAUST UNIT FELL OFF DURING TRAVEL AND THE UNIT REMAINING GOT SO HOT IT BURNED OUT ENTIRE PART OF TRUCK INCLUDING, ECU, REAR RIGHT HARNESS, AND 3 OTHER THINGS. COST TO FIX OVER $3,000. AFTER PAYING HEFTY BILL SHOP MANAGER SAID THIS WAS THE 5TH TITAN IN OUR SMALL TOWN HE HAD SAME ISSUE WITH AND THAT HE AGREES THIS IS THE WORST PLACE FOR A UNIT ON A TRUCK AND MANUFACTURER SHOULD OF PUT OTHER LOCATION. I THEN FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THEY ACTED LIKE THEY CARED AND THEN 3 WEEKS LATER THEY DENIED HELPING ME AT ALL SAYING IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I DID RESEARCH ON LINE AND LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I THINK NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND I NEED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY REPAIRS. I FIND IT ODD THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ALSO CRACKED ON THE TRUCK ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE AND NISSAN COVERS THAT UNTIL 80,000 MILES. *TR

WITHIN A 5 MILE RANGE THE VEHICLE STARTED TO WHINE, THEN CLANK, THEN LOCK-UP. EMERGENCY BRAKES FAILED AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED... VEHICLE WAS UNDRIVEABLE. THIS VEHICLE JUST HIT 100,000 MILES. REPAIR IS > 1/5TH OF VEHICLE VALUE. THIS IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE IN 2004 NISSAN TITANS. VERY DANGEROUS - ESPECIALLY IF TOWING A TRAILER (WHICH IS WHAT THIS VEHICLE IS ADVERTISED TO DO) *TT

REAR AXLE OIL LEAK REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF BREATHER AND RIGHT REAR AXLE AT 45,385 MILES. REOCCURRED 9-26-11 AT 54,718 MILES. INTERNET SITES INDICATE THIS IS A COMMON RECURRENCE AND THE PART WAS SUBSEQUENTLY REDESIGNED. NISSAN REFUSE TO STAND BY THEIR QUALITY AND HIDE BEHIND THE WARRANTY TERMS FOR A DESIGN FAILURE. *TR

TICKING NOISE DISCOVERED WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK. SOUNDS SEEMS TO COME FROM LOWER ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR FROM FRONT WHEEL-WELLS. SUSPECTED A LEAKING EXHAUST PIPE. TOOK TRUCK TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS (LEFT AND RIGHT) WERE BOTH CRACKED. ESTIMATED COST WAS $2100. ADVISED BY NISSAN TECHNICIAN TO "JUST LEAVE IT ALONE" AS THE ONLY RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM WAS THE TICKING NOISE AND A LITTLE WORSE MILEAGE THAN USUAL. OVER THE LAST YEAR, SEVERAL INSTANCES OF ENGINE FUMES CAUSING PASSENGERS TO ROLL WINDOWS DOWN. SUSPECT THE FUMES ARE COMING FROM THE MANIFOLDS SINCE NO OTHER EXHAUST LEAKS HAVE BEEN FOUND. *TR

BRAKE FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY WHILE BRAKING DUE TO TRAFFIC CONGESTION. DEALER CONFIRMED BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO COMPUTER MALFUNCTION. *TR

LEAVING WORK AT 5:00 PM. STARTED TRUCK AND GOT TO STOP SIGN EVERYTHING WAS FINE. TURNED LEFT ONTO MAJOR STREET AND WHEN APPROACHING FIRST STOP LIGHT BRAKE PEDDLE WENT ALMOST TO FLOOR. IT FELT REALLY SPONGY AND MADE A GRINDING NOISE. HAD TO RUN UP ON CURB TO AVOID GOING INTO INTERSECTION. CAR DID COME TO A STOP AND I NOTICED BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. I TURNED TRUCK OFF AND STARTED AGAIN. BRAKES WERE BACK. DID A SEARCH FOR THIS DESCRIPTION OF FAILURE AND FOUND SEVERAL THREADS WITH TONS OF TRUCKS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A BAD DELTA SENSOR. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS BUT DOES NOTHING. HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T TAKE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. JUST SEARCH FOR NISSAN TITAN DELTA SENSOR AND YOU WILL SEE ALL THE VEHICLES WITH PROBLEMS. I WAS REFERRED TO THIS SITE BY NISSAN. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THEY WERE TOLD TO BY NHTSA. *TR

HEARD A CLUNK FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THE ELECTRONIC LOCKER DISINTEGRATED DAMAGING THE REAR END. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2004 TO 2007 TITAN'S WITH THE OFF-ROAD PACKAGE. NEVER USED THE TRUCK FOR TOWING. IT WAS USED FOR DAILY TRANSPORTATION. THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 90,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE REAR END BLEW UP. I HAD A LOCAL SHOP PUT IN NEW AXLES, RING AND PINION AND AN AFTER MARKET LOCKER FOR ABOUT $2500. NISSAN WANTED TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE REAR END WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT $3500. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS LEAKING AND CAUSING THE SMELL OF FUMES TO ENTER THE VEHICLE.

THE REAR AXLE SEALS IN MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN 5.6L SE STARTED LEAKING. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 89,000. THE SEALS ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND. WHEN REPLACING THE AXEL SEALS YOU ALSO HAVE TO REPLACE THE SPACERS AND THE BEARINGS. NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE FLUID FROM THE LEAK HAS GOT ONTO THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR. IT STARTED LEAKING TERRIBLY IN ONLY A MATTER OF A FEW DAYS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND BECAME HARD TO DRIVE.

PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT FUNCTION. IT WAS WEAK WHEN IT WAS NEW AND I BROUGHT IT UP TO THE DEALER. THEY ADJUSTED IT BUT DID NOT IMPROVE. IT IS TOTALLY WORTHLESS AT THIS POINT. *KB

BRAKES FEEL LIKE THE ABS HAS ENGAGED AND THE FOLLOWING WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH COME ON; BRAKE, VDC OFF, SLIP, AND SERVICE ENGINE. THIS STARTED HAPPENING SOON AFTER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW. DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTICS BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WELL OVER 20 TIMES WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND DRIVING AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. ONCE THIS HAPPENS THE BRAKES FEEL MUSHY AND MAKE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE ONLY FIX IS TO STOP THE TRUCK, PUT IT IN PARK AND STOP AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY. THE OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM IS VERY INTERMITTENT. LAST OCCURRENCE WAS ON JULY 25TH AND BEFORE THAT JULY 18TH. IT MAY GO A MONTH OR SO BEFORE HAPPENING AGAIN. TWO OTHER EMPLOYEES AT MY COMPANY ALSO HAVE 2004 TITANS AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER SUGGEST THAT THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS TO BRING IT TO THEM SO THAT THEIR MECHANIC CAN SEE THE ISSUE FIRST HAND.

I JUST PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO. I AM THE 2ND OWNER AND BOUGHT IT FROM A GUY WHO BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN 2004 AND TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 55K MILES. JUST LAST WEEKEND, 6/19/2011, IT STARTED MAKING BANGING AND GRINDING NOISES IN THE BACK WHEEL. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT I RAN OVER SOMETHING AND IT WAS STUCK IN THE BACK WHEELS. AFTER EXAMINING THE REAR WHEEL AREA AND THE BRAKE PADS, EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL. HOWEVER, THE NOISE GOT LOUDER AND LOUDER. IT SOUNDED LIKE I WAS DRAGGING A REFRIGERATOR. I FELT A STUTTER IN THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED TO STRUGGLE TO GO WHEN I WOULD PUT THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE. I ASSUMED THE BRAKE CALIPERS MAY HAVE BEEN JAMMED AND BROUGHT IT INTO AN AUTO SERVICE CENTER TO BE EXAMINED. ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER, I WENT BACK TO THE SHOP AND THE TECHNICIAN TOOK ME TO GO SEE THE PROBLEM. THEY EXAMINED THE REAR BRAKES AND DIFFERENTIAL AND FOUND NUMEROUS LARGE CHUNKS OF BROKEN METAL INSIDE, WHICH SHE SAID WERE PIECES OF SHOES, HARDWARE, AND GEARS. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND THAT THE GEAR DAMAGE HAD LIKELY CAUSED A CHAIN REACTION DAMAGING THE ENTIRE LEFT REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY AND E-BRAKES. THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING TOO ONTO THE WHEELS. ALL THESE PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE REAR AXLE. THE SERVICE SHOP QUOTED ME $3800 TO GET THIS FIXED! I WAS IN SHOCK AS I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK. OF COURSE, I COULD NO LONGER DRIVE THE TRUCK EITHER AS IT WAS IN PIECES AND NOT DRIVABLE. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I DON'T HAVE THIS MONEY. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TELL THE SERVICE SHOP TO GO AHEAD WITH THE REPAIRS AND I WILL JUST HAVE TO PUT IT ON A CREDIT CARD. I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND WENT ON TO SEVERAL INTERNET SITES FOR NISSAN TITAN OWNERS TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS OR IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS. AFTER READING PAGES OF ENTRIES POSTED BY OTHER TITAN OWNERS, I FOUND OUT I WAS NOT ALONE. NISSAN NEEDS TO HELP PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS! *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS LEAKING.

I NOTICED A BUILD UP OF FLUID ON MY DRIVERSIDE BREAK REAR ROTOR AND HUB. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP, THEY TOLD ME THAT BOTH REAR SEALS WERE LEAKING ONTO MY BRAKES AND HUBS. I TOOK IT IN TO GET IT FIXED AND WAS QUOTED $700. THEY THEN NOTICED THAT A TSB JUST CAME OUT THAT SAID THAT JUST THE SEALS CANNOT BE REPLACED. THAT THEY NOW ARE REQUIRED TO REPLACE BOTH AXLES, BEARINGS, SEALS, ETC TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND WOULD BE $2600. THEY EXPLAINED THAT IF I DIDN'T GET IT FIXED MY BRAKES WOULD MALFUNCTION BECAUSE OF THE OF THE THICK BUILD UP OF OIL, AND ULTIMATELY, THERE WOULD BE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE REAR AXLE BECAUSE OF THE FLUID LOSS. RENDERING THE VEHICLE USELESS, OR CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT IF IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. *TT

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. MY REAR AXEL SEALS ARE LEAKING. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 85K, AS OF 6/10/11. I RARELY PULL TRAILERS, OR ANY HEAVY LOAD. THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER. I DO MOSTLY CITY DRIVING. I NOTICED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WHEN MY BRAKES STARTED ACTING UP. EX. I WAS DRIVING NEAR MY HOUSE WHEN, I PRESSED MY BRAKES AND IT ALMOST WENT TO THE FLOOR. IT ALSO KICKED IN THE ABS, WHEN I WAS ONLY DOING ABOUT 10MPH. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON FLASHING. EVERY TIME I PRESSED THE BRAKE(ONLY TWO TIMES) IT DID THIS. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. GOT OUT LOOKED AROUND AND DID NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG. I GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK AND DROVE STRAIGHT HOME. IT DID NOT DO THIS AGAIN UNTIL ABOUT 15K MILES LATER. I THEN TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME ONLY ONE WAS BAD. ABOUT A WEEK LATER I PUT THE TRUCK ON A LIFT MYSELF. I NOTICED BOTH WERE LEAKING! I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN UNLESS IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFAULT. THERE IS NEVER A HARD STRAIN ON MY DRIVETRAIN. IT IS 2WD AND MY WORK TRUCK IN THE CITY. I HAVE ALSO READ ON THE FORUMS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. MY RADIATOR ALSO BUSTED LAST WEEK. UP TILL NOW I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK. *TR

MY NAME IS [XXX], I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES FROM THE FUEL RAILS LEAKING WITHIN THE LAST 4 MTH. THIS DID NOT JUST START THE FUEL RAILS HAVE BEEN LEAKING OVER THE YEARS I JUST DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM. ONCE THE PRESSURE BUILD UP IT STOPS LEAKING THAT WHY I COULD NEVER SEE THE FUEL LEAKING, UNTIL ONE MORNING I CRANKED UP WITH THE HOOD UP. THE THING IS THESE FUEL RAILS LEAKS THE FUEL ON THE ENGINE AND I KNOW NISSAN KNOWS THIS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A CLICKING NOISE AND SMELLED EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE EXHAUST FUMES PROGRESSIVELY BECAME WORSE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

FRONT RIGHT TIRE WAS WEARING IRREGULARLY AND WAS INFORMED AT TIRE STORE THAT WHEEL HUB MAY BE WORN AND CAUSING THE PROBLEM. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND NOT ONLY WAS WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY IDENTIFIED AS AN ISSUE BUT WAS INFORMED THAT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED REPLACEMENT (FRONT AXEL PULLING OUT FROM FRONT DIFFERENTIAL) AT COST OF $1755 (ADDITIONAL TO THE $373 TO REPLACE THE FRONT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY). THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ON THIS VEHICLE HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY IN APRIL'08 (BASED ON CLICKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING) WHICH TRIGGERED ME TO RESEARCH THIS DEFECT ON THE INTERNET AND NHTSA WEB SITE AND ASK THE DEALER ABOUT OTHER SIMILAR FAILURES SEEN. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE FRONT AND REAR DIFFERENTIALS REPORTED ON BOTH 2004 AND 2005 TITANS DUE TO WHAT APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY DESIGN THAT WAS LATER CHANGED ON THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. I CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIRS TO OPEN A REQUEST FOR SUPPORT AND WAS INFORMED BASED ON YEARS OF SERVICE AND MILEAGE THEY WOULD DENIED SUPPORTING THIS COMPLAINT, I ESCALATED TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF MANAGEMENT AND WAS AGAIN DENIED ANY SUPPORT. CLEARLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DIFFERENTIALS ON THE 2004 TITAN THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED SINCE THIS SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR TO REPLACE BOTH DIFFERENTIALS ON THE SAME VEHICLE GIVEN NORMAL HIGHWAY PASSENGER DRIVING (NO OFF ROAD, NO TOWING).

2004 TITAN. CONNECTION FAILED AT THE FLANGES WELDED TO THE EXHAUST PIPE AND THE MUFFLER EXTENSION AT THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL AREA. THE EXHAUST PIPE AND THE MUFFLER EXTENSION ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. THE FAILURE WAS CONFINED TO THE FLANGE ATTACHMENTS. FAILURE RESULTED IN HOT AIR/GASES MELTING A CRITICAL WIRE HARNESS THAT IS ATTACHED ALONG THE FRAME BEAM TO CARRY ELECTRICS TO THE REAR OF VEHICLE. THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WAS DAMAGED. THE WIRES SHORTED, CAUSING THE FAILURE OF UNDERHOOD ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCE WAS THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AND ALL OTHER COMPONENTS RELYING ON POWER FROM THE ALTERNATOR. THE EXPERIENCED DRIVER WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO A STOP ALONG A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. LONG RANGE CONSEQUENCES WERE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TITAN'S WIRE BUNDLES AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS AT CONSIDERABLE COST. NISSAN HAS NOT, TO DATE, EXPLAINED WHY THIS SIMPLE CONNECTION FAILED, WHY A WIRE HARNESS WAS LOCATED CLOSE TO THIS HEAT SOURCE, WHY THE WIRE HARNESS WAS NOT PROTECTED AGAINST HEAT DAMAGE, WHY THE ELECTRICAL DAMAGE WAS NOT LIMITED BY A FUSE, WHY TITAN OWNERS WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC PROBLEM AND WHY NISSAN DEALERS DID NOT INSPECT AND NOTIFY TITAN OWNERS OF THIS ISSUE DURING OTHER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AT THEIR FACILITIES. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE. OIL LEAKED ALL OVER MY BRAKES CAUSING THE BRAKES TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. TRUCK IS A 2004 WITH 69,000 MILES, SO IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTIES. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A VALID SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

I RECEIVED A FACTORY RECALL NOTICE FOR AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE RELAY THAT CAN CAUSE ENGINE PERFORMANCE ISSUES. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL FOR TODAY 04/13/2011. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALER ( NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA NISSAN DEALERSHIP) I WAS TOLD THE RECALL COULD NOT BE DONE BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THAT IN ORDER TO CORRECT THAT THERE WOULD BE A $127 CHARGE. SO MUCH FOR FREE RECALL!!

PASS 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 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. AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WE WOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

THE CONTACT STATED THAT NOW THE DEALER WAS STATING THAT THE HEADERS AND MANIFOLD WERE DEFECTIVE. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE OIL PRESSURE AND THE HEADERS ON BOTH SIDES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

2004 NISSAN TITAN, BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING. OIL LEAKS OUT VERY FAST AND MUST REFILL CONSTANTLY. OIL ALSO LEAKS ON AND INTO THE WHEEL AND BRAKES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN SLICK CONDITIONS I PLACED MY 2004 TITAN IN 4 HI, DIDN'T NOTICE ANY IMPROVEMENT IN TRACTION, SLIP INDICATOR CONTINUED TO LIGHT ON ACCELERATION. 4 HI INDICATOR SHOWED ENGAGEMENT BUT THE TRUCK WAS NOT ENGAGING IN EITHER 4 HI OR 4 LO. TOOK THE TRUCK TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE "C" CLIPS ON THE SHAFT HAD FAILED AND ALLOWED THE SHAFTS TO COME OUT OF THE SPLINES. DUE TO THAT THE SHAFTS NOT BEING IN PLACE THEY OVALED THE SOCKETS, THE DIFFERENTIAL OIL LEAKED OUT, THE BEARINGS WENT OUT WHICH IN TURN CASED BOTH THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND THE TRANSFER CASE TO FAIL. I GOT THE TRUCK REPAIRED, REPLACED BOTH THE TRANSFER CASE AND FRONT DIFFERENTIAL, AT THE COST OF $2500. A WEEK LATER IT SNOWED ALMOST 12 INCHES. ENGAGED 4 HI WHILE LEAVING THE DRIVE WAY, DROVE APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES AND THE TRUCK LOST 4 HI AGAIN AND WAS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE I PUT THE TRUCK BACK INTO 2 HI NOISE STOPPED. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND THE SHAFT HAS COME OUT AGAIN, EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS A NEW FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS AND WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN WHEN EVER 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS USED OR IS TO BE ENGAGED.

MY BRAKES STARTED TO FAIL. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY REAR AXLE SEALS HAD FAILED. FLUID HAS LEAKED ALL OVER THE BOTTOM, INTO MY BRAKES. RESULTING IN TOTAL BRAKE REPLACEMENT. IT IS VERY COSTLY AND I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO FIND A SHOP TO FIX. APPARENTLY IT IS MAINLY A DEALER REPAIR; HOW CONVENIENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN,IT HAS BLOWN OUT 2 REAR DIFFERENTIALS. ONE WAS AT 93,000 MILES REPAIR COST 2,900 DOLLARS,AND THE OTHER AT 148,00 MILES REPAIR COSTS 2,600 DOLLARS. THE TRUCK GOES QUICKLY FROM DRIVABLE TO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. FROM RESEARCH THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DIFFERENTIAL VENTING DESIGN. YOU WOULD THINK THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AT LEAST THE 2ND ONE. *LN

PROBLEM: NOISE IN THE FRONT AXLE AND WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 4-WHEEL DRIVE WHILE MOVING. DURING AN OIL CHANGE, THE DEALER NOTICED THAT THE FRONT AXLE WAS LEAKING. RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT AND MENTIONED THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT WAS INFERIOR TO THE REPLACEMENT. SEVERAL MONTHS EARLIER THE REAR AXLE WAS LEAKING AND THE DEALER REPLACE THAT SEAL AS WELL. COST: FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AXLE $1,700 & REAR DIFFERENTIAL $900. TOTAL OF $2,600 IN TWO MONTHS. MY CONCERN IS WHY DOES A VEHICLE (2004 & 47K) NEED A COMPLETE FRONT END REPLACEMENT? COME ON NISSAN, PLEASE RECOGNIZE YOU HAVE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT OR AN ENGINEERING ISSUE AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS! *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN: PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD AND FORWARD MOTION CEASED. ONCE ABLE TO GET BACK UNDERWAY LOUD BANGING WAS HEARD. VEHICLE LURCHED BADLY AROUND CORNERS. TOWED TO DEALER. INSPECTION FOUND REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. REPAIR WAS ESTIMATED AT 3771.00 + TAX. VEHICLE HAD 131K MILES. VEHICLE WAS TRADED IN ON PURCHASE OF NEW VEHICLE AT A DISCOUNTED VALUE OF 4000.00 DUE TO REPAIRS REQUIRED. *TR

WENT TO START TRUCK AND AS I STARTED DRIVING THERE WAS A LOUD BANG FROM THE REAR OF TRUCK AND THE TRUCK STOPPED MOVING FORWARD THEN THE ENGINE REVVED AND IT SEEMED TO CATCH AND THE TRUCK MOVED FORWARD SLOWLY. THE ENTIRE REAR END OF THE TRUCK WENT OUT AND NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. LUCKY I WAS ONLY GOING 5MPH. *TR

IT WAS AROUND 3:30 PM AND I WAS JUST GETTING OFF OF SCHOOL. THERE WAS A GOOD AMOUNT OF SNOW ON THE GROUND SO I DECIDED TO PUT IT INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I DROVE FOR ABOUT 4 MILES TO GET ONTO INTERSTATE 69. I STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND AS SOON AS I GOT UP TO AROUND 45MPH, I HEARD A LOUD BANG FROM THE FRONT END. THE TRUCK JERKED TO THE LEFT, I GRABBED THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS PREVENTING FROM SLAMMING INTO A SEMI IN THE LANE BESIDE ME. LUCKILY I DIDN'T GET HURT. I KNOW IT IS THE DIFFERENTIALS ARE COMPLETELY TRASHED. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO GET IT DIAGNOSED. I BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM IN THE TITANS. I BOUGHT A NISSAN BECAUSE I HEARD THEY WERE VERY RELIABLE, AND THE COMPANY IS WILLING TO HELP. I SURE DO HOPE THEY HELP ME OUT WITH THIS MAJOR DEFECT IN MY TRUCK. I REALLY HOPE THAT THIS BECOMES A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT, OR EVEN WORSE, KILLED.

WHEN THE DOOR OPENED THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE IT. THE FAILURE ALWAYS OCCURRED WHENEVER IT WAS EXTREMELY COLD.

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

THE REAR AXEL SHAFT STARTS TO LEAK DUE TO SEAL FAILURE BUT IS ACTUALLY DUE TO SPIDER GEAR FAILURE CAUSING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BUILD UP CAUSING THE SEALS TO FAIL. THERE ARE OVER 1000 RECODED INSTANCES ON THE INTERNET AND SUPPOSEDLY ONE CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES. ON CALLING 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS ALL WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT NOTHING IS COVERED PAST THE 3 YR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. ALL DEALERS SERVICE CENTERS STATED THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THIS FAILURE PRIOR TO THAT FREQUENCY. *TR

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

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

AS SO MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED, THE REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING FLUID ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH IS CAUSING BRAKES TO FAIL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND EXPENSE. NISSAN SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX ISSUE. ONLY HAVE 54000 MILES ON VEHICLE. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLDS IN NISSAN TITANS AROUND THE YEAR OF '04 ARE CRACKING WHEN THE SHOULDN'T BE WITH JUST MILD WEAR AND TEAR ON THE CAR. DEALERS ARE SAYING ITS NOT A DANGEROUS PROBLEM SO THEY CANT RECALL IT BUT WITH A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD CO CAN AND OFTEN DOES LEAK INTO THE CABIN. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHT ON MY DASH COMES ON AND WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE I HEAR A GRINDING NOISE ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. IT HAS DONE THIS ABOUT 15 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK. IT RECENTLY DID IT ON THE DATE STATED BELOW. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE, DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH HE HEARD A TICKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE DEALER ADVISED HIM THAT THE FAILURE WAS NORMAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN AUGUST OF 2010 AND THAT THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED SINCE THE PURCHASE DATE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 94,888.

CALLED NISSAN ABOUT MY RECALL TO TELL THEM WE HAVEN DEALER IN OUR AREA. THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO TRAVEL OVER 70 MILES ONE WAY AND COULD WE HAVE A LOCAL SERVICE TAKE CARE OF RECALL AND THEY WOULD BE REIMBURSE. THEY SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WITH IS RECALL (ECM) MY VEHICLE COULD STOP AT ANY TIME, WHY WOULD I WANT TO TRAVEL OVER 70 MILES. HOW CAN I GET NISSAN TO PAY MY LOCAL SERV PERSON WHO IS ONLY 4 MILES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND MY REAR END LOCKED UP ON ME. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BUT WAS ABLE TO AVOID CRASHING. COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS A BAD REAR SEAL ON BOTH SIDES. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK. *TR
