The part that failed was the delta stroke sensor i was coming home from the store and suddenly I noticed the brake light came on and when I pressed the brakes it made a grinding noise like it was trying to lock the brakes so it was almost impossible to stop
I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSFER CASE 2 TIMES, MY FRONT DRIVE SIDE HUB ASSEMBLY 2 TIMES IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS. I HAVE REPLACE FRONT AXLE AND AND REAR. NOW MY PASSENGER SIDE LEAKS OUT FROM UNDER THE GLOVE BOX EVERY TIME IT RAINS INTO MY FLOOR KEEPING IT WET. JUST YESTERDAY MY TRANSMISSION WENT ITNO LIMP MODE AND I KNOW IT CAN BE A NUMBER OF THINGS . I LOOK AT THE 04 THRU 07 TITANS AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES LIKE HAVE BUT HAVEN'T LISTED THEM ALL, BUT THE ISSUES IAM HAVING ARE NOT ON RECALL LIST FOR MY 2006, BUT ARE FOR THE OTHER YEARS??? THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP DROPPING $ INTO IT. BACK DRIVER WINDOW MOTOR STOPPED AND WINDOW FELL AND BROKE, MANIFOLD TICKING IS A RECALL FOR THE 2005, BUT NOT MY 2006. I COULD KEEP GOING BUT I AM GETTING SO FRUSTRATED. I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 45 MHP WHEN IT JUST WENT INTO LIMP MODE, SO I PULLED OVER TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON THEN IT WOULD WORK FOR ABOUT 3 MIN. STOP DO IT AGAIN TO GET HOME. IT WILL GO INTO GEAR, AND THE RPM'S REV AND GO UP ,BUT I AM NOT GETTING VERY FAR AT ALL. MY TRANS FLUID IS GOOD. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. ALL FUSES ARE GOOD AND CODES RESET AND IT STILL GOES LIMP MODE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE IDLING, THE FRONT OF VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE VEHICLE WITH A FIRE HYDRANT HIS NEIGHBOR PROVIDED AT THE MOMENT. A FIRE DEPARTMENT DID FILE A REPORT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS ASSOCIATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V517000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.
AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY FLASHING AND NOTHING ON THE STEERING WHEEL WORKS. CRUISE CONTROL, VOLUME FOR THE RADIO, MODE SELECT AND ETC. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AFTER LOOKING AT OTHER FORUMS WITH NISSAN TITAN OWNERS COMPLAINTS.
REAR AXLE SEAL FAILS AND CAUSES DIFFERENTIAL OIL TO LEAK OUT CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING.
BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND BRAKES WILL GRIND AND CRUNCH WHEN TRYING TO STOP. AFTER SHUTTING OF AND RESTARTING VEHICHLE THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY TEMPORARILY.
MANIFOLD CRACK
MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AFTER BEING INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT. THERE IS ONGOING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH SHORTING OUT BATTERY OVERNIGHT WHEN RADIO IS CONNECTED. NISSAN REMOVED FUSE AND CAN'T LOCATE THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE. CONDENSER FAN HAS GONE OUT.
I THINK IT WAS IN 2009 WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO NISSAN TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND LIGHT SMOKE OUT OF EXHAUST. RAN DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND OUT THAT CATALYTIC CONVERTERS BROKE UP AND BROKEN MATERIAL WENT BACK (SUCKBACK) INTO ENGINE AND DAMAGED PISTON RINGS WHICH WAS CAUSING IT TO SMOKE. TOLD ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE ENGINE CAUSE IT WAS PRETTY MUCH NO GOOD. THIS TRUCK WAS 3 YRS. OLD AT THE TIME. WARRANTY WAS OUT AND WAS AND COST ME A FORTUNE TO REPLACE ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM. I HAD NO IDEA TIL NOW HOW MANY 2006 TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS TO BE RECALLED.
OVERHEATED, ENGINE WOULD NOT START, TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT TO GO MOSTLY SLUGGISH. THIS IS MY 3RD TIME TITAN OVERHEATED, HAD TO BE TOWED.
WHEN IN MOTION, VEHICLE BRAKES OCCASIONALLY FAIL. DYNAMIC CONTROL OFF LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, AND SLIP LIGHT TURN ON AT SAME TIME THAT BRAKE PEDAL LOSES ALL RESISTANCE AND IS EASILY PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. BRAKE POWER SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED AND NEED TO BE ACTIVELY PUMPED TO SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP. AT A STOP, VEHICLE CAN BE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON THEN WARNING ALL LIGHTS WILL GO OFF AND BRAKES OPERATE AS NORMAL. DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. OCCURS 6-7 TIMES PER YEAR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V459000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) BY HENDERSON NISSAN (295 AUTO MALL DR, HENDERSON, NV 89014, (702) 558-5800); HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ELECTRICAL WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.
WIRE HARNESS FOR THE REAR POWER SLIDER (BEHIND THE REAR SEAT) CAUGHT ON FIRE. FIRE MARSHALL SAID IT WAS A FAULTY WIRE HARNESS. CAUGHT OUR CARSEATS AND THE ENTIRE CAB, AND BED ON FIRE. VEHICLE WAS OFF, PARKED AND VACANT WHEN THE FIRE WAS VISIBLE, BUT ONLY FOR 10 MINUTES, SO IT MAY HAVE STARTED WHEN IT ON, AND WASN'T VISIBLE RIGHT AWAY.
MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SHOWING P0335 CODE ISSUES, WHICH IS CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, WHICH HAS BEEN REPLACED, MY RPM'S JUMP/SPUTTER BUT THE TRUCK STARS & RUNS BUT FEELS LIKE ITS RUNNING ROUGH, ALSO I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT MY DASHBOARDS "SLIP" LIGHT REMAINS ON... AND THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH IT IS THAT, NO "PROFESSIONALS" SEEM TO KNOW WHAT IT IS, NOR HAVE THEY BEEN ABLE TO FOGURE IT OUT AS OF YET.
RADIATOR FLUID MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID VIA INTERNAL COOLER IN RADIATOR CAUSING VEHICLE TO STOP MOVING ALTHOUGH MOTOR FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
REAR END LOCKED UP AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. OVER THE YEARS, THE REAR SEALS WOULD CONSTANTLY LEAK AND WERE REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS USUALLY BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION DURING OIL CHANGES/INSPECTIONS. I GUESS THEY DIDNT CATCH IT LEAKING AND CAUSED MY REAR END TO LOCK UP WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I WAS HEADING TO WORK AROUND 4-5 AM IN THE MORNING AND ALL MY LIGHTS ON MY TRUCK CAME ON KIND OF FELT LIKE I BLEW A TIRE AND STARTED PULLING VERY HARD. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD RATHER QUICKLY AND HAD IT TOWED. I KNOW PLENTY OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUES WITH THE EARLY MODEL NISSAN TITANS. BESIDES THAT THOUGH I HAVE BEEN PLEASED WITH MY TITAN. I HAVE OVER 500K MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. FYI THIS HAPPENED YEARS BACK BUT I WAS READING A FORUM THAT WE SHOULD TRY TO GET THIS RECALLED AND IT DID COST ME ALOT TO HAVE THE REAR END FIXED.
REAR AXEL SEAL LEAKS CAUSES FLUID TO GET ON BRAKES AND CAN CAUSE ABS FEATURE TO FAIL. PRESENTING A HAZAROUNDAFE SITUATION
TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN STUCK IN 4TH GEAR WHILE IN DRIVE. IT. WILL SWITCH INTO PARK, REVERSE AND NEUTRAL. WHEN THE TRUCK IS PUT ON THE COMPUTER THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES SHOWING THAT WOULD REQUIRE REPAIR THEREFORE NISSAN REFUSES TO SUBMIT ANY DOCUMENTATION HIGHER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THIS STANDARD TRANSMISSION IN ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES. ON A SIDE NOTE, I'VE HAD 2 OTHER NISSANS WITH A CENTRAL VARIABLE TRANSMISSION THAT HAVE ALL DONE THIS AS WELL. I'VE SINCE BEEN ABLE TO GET RID OF THOSE VEHICLES, BUT I AM STUCK WITH THIS ONE.
MANIFOLD FAILURE

MY VEHICLE IMPACTED ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THE REAR AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS; STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS STOPPED WORKING IN 2008, ABS LIGHT REMAINS ON, BACKUP SENSOR WENT OUT 11-17 AND MOST RECENTLY I STARTED MY VEHICLE ONE MORNING AND SPEAKERS STARTED POPPING REALLY LOUD AND IMMEDIATELY SMELLED OF BURNED WIRES AND JUST TWO DAYS LATER VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED. AFTER CHARGING WORKED FINE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT JUST REPEATED THE SAME SITUATION. THIS VEHICLE HAS GAVE ME SO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS STARTING A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE. ALSO NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE A FRAMES WELDED JOINTS IS CRACKED. I AM A CERTIFIED WELDING INSPECTOR AND CAN SAY THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURER DISCONTINUITY. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WENT OUT YEARS AFTER PURCHASE IN 2006. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. I AM THE ONE AND ONLY OWNER AND PURCHASED IT NEW WITH ONLY 17 MILES ON IT. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD SO MANY ELECTRICAL/MECHANICAL ISSUES THAT IM STARTING TO THINK I SHOULD APPLY UNDER LEMON LAW BUT I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ABS SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE OCCASIONALLY COMING FROM BOTH FRONT WHEELS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE BRAKES INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES.

HAD A RECALL ON THE 2004-2006 AIR BAGS AND TOOK TITAN IN TO UNIVERSITY NISSAN IN FLORENCE, AL. WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL COULD NOT BE COMPLETED ON SOME OF THE 2004-2006 TITANS AND THEY WOULD CONTACT NISSAN TO GET A SOLUTION. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF WAITING I CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND THEN UNIVERSITY NISSAN TRIED AGAIN TO REPROGRAM THE AIRBAGS BUT IT STILL WOULD NOT TAKE. NOW I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS SUSPENDED THE RECALL UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT THEY CAN PRODUCE A PROGRAM TO FIX THIS RECALL. I KNOW, OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM AND NOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ? IF AIR BAGS DECIDE TO GO OFF ON MY VEHICLE, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND THE REPAIRS TO FIX IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY FOR NO REASON ? I NEED MY VEHICLE AND CANNOT PARK UNTIL THEY DECIDE TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE. I NEED SOME HELP IN GETTING THIS RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. IF YOU CANNOT HELP THEN WHERE DO I TURN FOR HELP. EMMETT JONES
POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE TURNING WITH ONLY 20599 MILES ON VEHICLE. LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP REFILLED FLUID. FAILED AGAIN ONLY MONTHS LATER. A WEB SEARCH INDICATED THAT POWER STEERING HOSE FAILURE IS COMMON ON THIS VEHICLE.
KEEP GETTING A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR OUR TRUCK. HOWEVER CHECK THE VIN # OUT AND IT SAYS NOTHING IS THERE. BUT IN THE MAIL TODAY IT SAYS THERE IS STILL A RECALL FOR THE WIRE HARNESS ROUTED THROUGH THE REAR DOORS ON THE CAMPAIGN # 06V-459
EXHAUST MANIFOLDS LEFT AND RIGHT CRACKED AND LEAKING LESS THAN 1 MOS OUT OF WARRENTY NISSAN REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE. I WAS A NISSAN PARTS MGR FOR 50 YRS NO CONSIDERATION. WHEN MY WIFE NEEDED A NEW CAR FOR HER 2001 SENTRA WE PURCHASED A MAZDA CX5 INSTEAD OF A ROUGE
I BOUGHT THIS TITAN AT TRI-STATE NISSAN IN WINCHESTER, VA. MY BRAKE ROTOR WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED DUE TO BAD METAL USED - I HAD TO REPLACE THEM AT 30,000 MILES. MY LEFT REAR WHEEL SEAL WAS DEFECTIVE AND STARTED STARTED LEAKING FLUID AT 70,000. HAD TO REPLACE EVEN THOUGH I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY. CATALYTIC MANIFOLDS WENT BAD AND THEY KNEW IT WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY - BUT THEY DIDN'T REPLACE THEM. PAINT PROBLEM WHEN THE TRUCK IS COLD - BIG GIANT SPOTS IN THE CLEAR COAT. THE MANIFOLDS MANIFOLDS NEED TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE THE EXHAUST IS ENTERING THE VEHICLE.
REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS LEAKING GEAR OIL OUT OF BOTH ENDS OF MY RWD TRUCK. CONTACTED NISSAN DEALER AND THEY REFERRED ME TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. FILED A CLAIM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY SO THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN TITAN TRUCKS, PARTICULARLY BETWEEN MODELS YEARS 2004-2006. I HAVE NEVER TOWED WITH THIS TRUCK AND HAVE CHANGED THE GEAR OIL FREQUENTLY. ALSO, I HAVE REPLACED THE BREATHER PERIODICALLY AS WELL. NOW THE FLUID IS FLOWING OUT WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V459000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.
COMPLETE REAR AXLE FAILURE WITH 105,400 MILES. THIS REAR AXLE WAS BUILT TO WEAK TO HANDLE THE ENGINE HORSE POWER AND THE VEHICLE CANNOT TOW 7,800 LBS. NISSAN FALSELY ADVERTISIE THAT THIS VEHICLE CAN TOW 7,800 LBS. MY VEHICLE NEVER TOWED, IT HAS NO HITHCH THE REAR AXLE COULDN'T WITHSTAND JUST PROPELLING THE VEHICLE FOR 105,000 MILES. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS JUSTIFIED FOR OWNERS IF THESE VEHICLES AFFECTED WITH THIS KNOWN DESIGN FLAW.
VEHICLE WAS JUST BELOW 1/4 A TANK MARK. I TURNED ENGINE OFF. RESET TRIP ODOMETER. PUT FUEL INTO VEHICLE. GAS GAUGE TOOK OVER 10 MINUTES TO GO FROM BELOW 1/4 TANK TO JUST ABOVE 3/4 FULL.
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. DIAGNOSTIC GAVE CODE OF CRASH ZONE SENSOR COMMUNICATION ERROR. RESEARCHED ISSUE ON LINE AND SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR SNOW BELT STATES WHICH MAINE IS INCLUDED BUT NOT THE TITAN. CONTACTED NISSAN REGARDING ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER BECAUSE WE ARE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTEE? FIND IT ODD THAT SOME VEHICLES ARE BEING COVERED BUT NOT THIS ONE. PREVIOUSLY TO THE AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE DOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY LOST ALL POWER. THANKFULLY NO VEHICLE BEHIND HIM. HE PULLED OVER INTO BREAKDOWN LANE TRIED TO RESTART VEHICLE WOULDN'T START INITIALLY BUT AFTER 10 MINUTES DID START. NO CODES TO BE READ NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG ISSUE BUT OBVIOUSLY NOT SAFE TO HAVE YOUR VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SHUT DOWN AT 70 MPH.
TAKATA RECALL TRUCK BURNED COMPLETELY INSURANCE COMPANY SAID TO CONTACT YOU GUYS FOR AN INVESTIGATION OF THE TRUCK RECALL TRUCK WAS PARKED IN DRIVE WAY THEN CATCHED ON FIRE NEXT TO BUILDING CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEY CAME AND TURNED FIRE OF TRUCK WAS TOWED AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY SAID TO CALL U GUYS FOR DAMAGES CAUSE ITS A RECALL ON TRUCK TRUCK WAS TOTAL LOST AND INSURANCE IS DENIING THE CASE CAUSE THEY SAID TO CONTAC YOU GUYS REGARDING THE FAULTY TRUCK AND RECALL
BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS WAS A RECALL. WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID IT WAS ONLY A WARRANTY ISSUE UP TO 80,000 MILES.BOTH WERE CRACKED WELL BEFORE THE 80,000 MILE. WHILE WAITING ON THE RECALL 80,000 HAS SINCE PASSED. BY DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THE DEFECT BUT DID NOT RECALL FIX THE ISSUES. I WOULD THING THAT AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD WOULD NEED TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. THIS COULD CASE SEVERAL ISSUES SUCH AS THE POSSIBILITY OF EXHAUST FUMES FILLING THE INTERIOR, ALSO WITH THE EXTREME HEAT COMING FROM THE CRACKS COULD EASILY IGNITE A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND SHUTTER. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE WOULD SUDDENLY CEASE.

ALSO, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT WOULD BLINK ON AND OFF. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.
MY NISSAN TITAN IS SUPPOSEDLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL, HOWEVER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, IT MAY NOT DEPLOY OR MAY DEPLOY WITHOUT ANY REASON. I HAVE TALKED TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN HATTIESBURG, MS, BUT THEY SAID IT IS NOT INCLUDED. IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN, I AM SURE NISSAN WOULD PAY DEARLY. MY NISSAN ALSO HAD THE BRAKE PROBLEM THAT YOU DID THE RECALL ON SEVERAL YEARS BACK , BUT AGAIN, MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT THE NISSAN HERE DID FIX IT AND DID NOT CHARGE ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE I GET KILLED OR INJURED BADLY.

AFTER MANY, MANY HOURS OF RESEARCH ONLINE TO FIND A RECALL ON THE NOTORIOUS REAR END AXLE PROBLEM WITH THE 2004, 2005, AND SOME 2006 NISSAN TITAN'S THERE IS LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING AND NISSAN HAS YET TO PUT A RECALL OUT DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THEIR REAR ENDS IN THESE PICK-UPS. THE PROBLEM IS THE REAR AXLE SEALS GOING BAD. THE PROBLEM STARTS AT THE TOP OF THE REAR END WITH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. THE VENTILATION SYSTEM ALLOWS MOISTURE AND WATER TO ENTER THE REAR END ASSEMBLY WHICH CAUSES THE AXLE SEALS TO LEAK WHICH THEN IN TURNS GEAR OIL LEAKING ALL OVER THE REAR BRAKES, WHICH IN TURN LEAKS ON TO THE HIGHWAY. THE FIRST SET OF SEALS COST ME ALMOST $1,200 I AM ON MY 3RD SET OF SEALS, AND THEY ARE LEAKING AGAIN. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR 3 YEARS AND THE VEHICLE HAS 136,XXX ON IT. THE FIRST SET OF SEALS WENT AT UNDER 20,000 MILES. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM DUE TO THE FACT OF THE REAR END GEAR OIL LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKES AND OUR HIGHWAYS. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT A RECALL ON THESE REAR ENDS OF THESE VEHICLES, BEFORE SOMEONE'S LIFE IS TAKEN UNEXPECTEDLY.

REAR AXEL PASSENGER AND DRIVER LEAKING OIL, DISCOVERED DURING ROUTINE DIFFERENTIAL OIL CHANGE. *JS
CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS BEEN NOTED, AND/OR.POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION OF CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WELDED TO MANIFOLDS. 118,500 MILES. REPLACEMENT MANIFOLDS/CATS COST IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND LABOR INTENSIVE. SO-CALLED "COMMON PROBLEM" WITH TITANS. IMO, THIS PROBLEM MAY POSSIBLY SEND CO2 TO PASSENGERS IF NOT CORRECTED, NOT TO MENTION POOR VEHICLE PERFORMANCE AND POSSIBLE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE IF NOT CORRECTED. NISSAN SHOULD CERTAINLY INITIATE A RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM.
THE WELD ON THE LEFT REAR SHACKLE THAT HOLDS THE LEAF SPRING IN PLACE RUSTED THROUGH AND THE LEAF SPRING PUSHED UP THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK BED CAUSING A HOLE. IN MY OPINION BASED ON MY INSPECTION THE WELD FAILED DUE TO RUST. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2006 AND HAD CORROSION PROTECTION APPLIED. THIS TYPE OF WEAR AND TEAR SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE LIKE THIS. I HAVE TAKEN PHOTOS TO DOCUMENT THE DAMAGE. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN TO REVIEW THE ISSUE.
MY ONLY COMPLAINT WOULD BE WHY HASN'T THEIR BEEN A RECALL ON ANY TITANS THAT ARE HAVING CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS, WHICH CAUSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIRS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AFTER A TEN SECOND WAIT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND LEAK FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.
RIGHT REAR SPRING SHACKLE BROKE AT THE WELDS WHILE DRIVING ALLOWING THE LEAF SPRING TO BE THRUST UP AGAINST THE UNDER SIDE OF THE BED. BY LUCK OR OTHER I WAS TO BE TOWING OUR TRAVEL TRAILER LATER IN THE DAY FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.A CURSORY SEARCH FOUND A HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OF BROKEN SHACKLES IN MODEL YEAR 04-07. SHACKLES APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN UPGRADED IN MODEL YEAR 08. THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO SELF OR OTHERS HAD THE AXLE SHIFTED RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL.
I WAS ALERTED THAT MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN NEEDED TO HAVE THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED AS THERE WAS "LOOSENESS" AND FLUID LEAKING. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT REPAIRABLE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD CAUSE THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL TO LOCK UP, CAUSING POSSIBLE SUDDEN STOPPING AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL.
STEERING GEAR SHIFTER IS STUCK ON "D" DRIVE AND DOES NOT SHIFT TO LOWER GEARS. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AT THE END OF 2006 BRAND NEW. ABOUT TWO YEARS LATER, THE SHIFTER DID NOT WORK ANYMORE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SHIFTER PART WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. THANKS....UPDATED 01/04/2016 *BF
ON 05/22/2015, TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT OR NEAR POSTED SPEED IN MILD SUNNY WEATHER. THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF IN LANE OF TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO HESITATION, NOISE, ALARM, WARNING LIGHTS JUST SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. PULLED VEHICLE OVER TO RH SHOULDER AND TRIED TO RESTART IT WITH OUT SUCCESS.ON 05/18/2015, I HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED AND INSPECTED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS ROAD TRIP. THE TRUCK PASSED DEALER INSPECTION. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER SERVICE CENTER AND AFTER SEVERAL DAYS THE DEALER TOLD ME THE ECM HAD FAILED AND SHORTED OUT THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE REPAIR BILL WAS A LITTLE OVER $1400. I AM NOT OBJECTING TO THE COST OF REPAIR....I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRUCK JUST STOPPING ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING. IF THIS BREAKDOWN WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OR DRIVING LANES OF A NEARBY FREEWAY, OR ON A STEEP INCLINE WITH TURNS THE RESULTS MAY HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE SHORT AND FAILURE OF THE ECM WERE A RESULT OF A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM (SAME ONE THAT PASSED INSPECTION) AND HEAT SHORTED THE WIRING HARNESS. I FEEL THE WIRING HARNESS MAY BE TOO CLOSE TO THE HEAT OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND COULD HAVE BEEN ISOLATED AS NOT TO CAUSE FAILURE. UPDATED 8/31/15*CN UPDATED 10/23/2017*CN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.
THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACK AND CAUSE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. ONLY FIX IS TO RE PLACE MANIFOLDS. MANIFOLDS ARE MANUFACTURE DEFECTIVE. COST TO REPLACE IS OVER $2000.00 NISSAN STATED NO RECALL.
WHILE TRAVELING AT 80 MPH I FELT AN ODD SHAKE ON MY TITAN. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WAS SMOKING. I NOTICED GEAR OIL LEAKING OUT ALL OVER THE BRAKES AND TIRE. I ENDED UP NEEDING TO REPLACE THE AXLE, SEAL,BEARING,BACKING PLATE AND ABS SENSOR. $1300.00 AND 3 DAYS LATER IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP. LEAKING GEAR OIL FROM THE SAME PLACE. WAITING TO HEAR FROM MECHANIC WHAT I NEED TO DO NEXT. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A SIDE WALL. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT HAD SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE ARMS AND NECK WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION SUGGESTS THE LOWER CONTROL LINK ASSEMBLY MAY HAVE SEPARATED CASING THE CONSUMER TO LOSE STEERING ABILITY. RECALL 10E019000 WAS REFERENCED IN THE COMPLAINT.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEALS LEAKED ON BRAKE ASSEMBLIES. GEAR OIL WAS PRESENT ON BRAKE ASSEMBLIES, WHEELS AND TIRES. I REPLACED LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE DIFFERENTIAL SEALS AND BEARINGS. AN ALLIGNMENT WAS NECESSARY AND WAS PERFORMED. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED. A LOUD EXHAUST NOISE COULD BE HEARD FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE EXISTED FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.
2006 NISSAN TITAN. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIR BAG WARNING LAMP RECALL NOTICE PROBLEMS. *SMD THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG ISSUE, WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL.
WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH TRANSMISSION DROPS OUT OF GEAR AND TRUCK ENGINE NEARLY RED LINES. WAS UNABLE TO GET COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD. AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW MINUTES WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE TRUCK A FEW FEET TO GET COMPLETELY OUT OF TRAFFIC. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT I HAD AN INTERMIX OF COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THEY SEE AND THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 80,000 MILES BUT I AM NOT COVERED. THEY QUOTED ME $8700 TO REPAIR. SPOKE TO A FEW TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND THEY ALL INDICATED THAT THEY ENCOURAGE THEIR NISSAN CLIENTS TO BYPASS THE INTERNAL TRANNY COOLER IN THE RADIATOR WITH AN EXTERNAL ON WHEN THEY REACH 80,000 MILES. THEY SAID THE COST TO DO THIS IS LESS THAN $300.00. NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS AND EVEN LOST A CLASS ACTION SUIT BUT HAS NEVER INFORMED ANYONE. FOR A $300 FIX I AM NOW OUT A TRUCK AND OR $9000.00!!!! WAY TO GO NISSAN!! *TR
CRACK ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON PASSENGER SIDE. *TR
STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. A FEW DAYS LATER A LOUD GRINDING NOISE IN THE FRONT END. TOOK THE 2006 TITAN TO SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD NEEDED TOTAL FRONT END BRAKE JOB. THE BRAKE PADS WENT THRU THE ROTORS. A FEW MONTHS LATER THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRUCK FOR SOMETHING ELSE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. TWO TO THREE MONTHS AFTER I JUST HAD IT DONE. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I JUST HAD IT DONE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I ASKED TO SEE THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD NOT LET ME IN TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM MYSELF. THEY JUST NOTED THAT I REFUSED SERVICE. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE SERVICE STATION THAT DID THE WORK (BECAUSE THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED). THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AT THAT TIME LIKE THE DEALER TOLD ME. NOW 8/21/2014 AT 53000 MILES THE FRONT END BRAKE SYSTEM IS GONE AGAIN. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. I HAD TO GO OFF THE ROAD SO I DID NOT HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I OWNED 6 NISSANS AND NEVER HAS THIS KIND OF PROBLEM BEFORE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN IS WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE TRUCK DOES NOT STOP BECAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM KICKS IN AND DOES NOT LET THE TRUCK STOP SUDDENLY WHEN NEEDED. AS OF RIGHT NOW I CAN NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO GET THE BRAKE SYSTEM REPAIRED AGAIN. THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. WAKE UP NISSAN. DO NOT LET SOMEONE DIE BECAUSE OF DEFECTS. *TR
DEVELOPED A VIBRATION IN THE REAR END, THEN NOTICED LEAKING OIL AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AXLE. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW REAR END ASSEMBLY TO THE TUNE OF $5600. SAID THEY HAD A "BULLETIN" REGARDING THIS ISSUE! WHAT GIVES WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL? *TR
CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. *TR
I HEARD A VERY ABNORMAL CLUNK FROM REAR OF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING WHICH WAS INITIALLY FOLLOWED BY VERY UNSTABLE VEHICLE DYNAMICS (VEHICLE SWAYED HEAVILY FROM SIDE TO SIDE). I INITIALLY THOUGHT I'D INADVERTENTLY HIT AN OBSTACLE OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD BUT AT THE NEXT STOP I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS LEANING HEAVILY ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE (>2" LOWER THAN THE RIGHT). I INSPECTED THE UNDERCARRIAGE BUT COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG SO CHECKED TIRE PRESSURES (ALL FINE AT ~34-36PSI). NOT BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE, I ASSUMED IT WAS JUST THE WAY WE'D LOADED THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED DRIVING (WE WERE MORE THAN 6 HRS FROM HOME). AFTER UNLOADING THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, I REALISED SOMETHING ELSE WAS SERIOUSLY WRONG BECAUSE THE SEVERE LEAN WAS STILL PRESENT. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH FOR "NISSAN TITAN LEANING" LED ME TO CHECK FOR A BROKEN REAR SHACKLE. INSPECTING THE FLOOR OF THE BED WAS ENOUGH CONFIRMATION THAT THE LEFT HAND REAR SHACKLE HAD INDEED BROKEN (HUGE BULGE IN THE FLOOR OF THE BED WHERE THE LEAF SPRING SLAMMED UP INTO THE BODY). NO LESS THAN 26 SEPARATE REPORTS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THE WWW.TITANTALK.COM FORUM ABOUT THE ISSUE (PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTATION AVAILABLE). I WAS LUCKIER THAN SOME WHERE LEAF SPRINGS BROKE THROUGH THE BED FLOOR COMPLETELY (HAVE PHOTOS TO SUPPORT THIS). THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A DEFECT AND INSTEAD QUOTED $480 FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE SINCE CONFIRMED THAT NISSAN REINFORCED THE SHACKLES IN 2008 AND SUPERCEDED THE OLDER DESIGN (DAMNING EVIDENCE IN ITSELF). FOR THE RECORD, THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH MY PREGNANT WIFE, 3 YR OLD SON AND FATHER-IN-LAW AS PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. IT IS DAUNTING TO CONSIDER HOW MANY DRIVERS AND FAMILIES ARE AT RISK AS A RESULT OF NISSAN'S FAILURE TO REPORT THIS TO THE NHTSA. GUESS IT TAKES A FEW DEATHS BEFORE THE LIABILITY EXCEEDS THE RECALL COST. *TR
THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACK AND CAUSE EMISSIONS LEAKS. *TR
WAS TOLD DURING YEARLY STATE VEHICLE INSPECTION THAT IT WOULD NOT PASS DUE TO CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE. I WAS 19 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT ALMOST 23,000 MILES UNDER. THIS IS A PLEASURE USE TRUCK THAT AVERAGES ROUGHLY 7000 MILES PER YEAR AND SOMETIMES ISN'T DRIVEN FOR WEEKS. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. SOUGHT ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN AMERICA BUT WAS DECLINED WITHOUT EXPLANATION. IT'S CLEAR THAT BOTH DID NOT CRACK AFTER THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE WARRANTY. IT IS ALSO CLEAR, BASED ON ONLY A FEW MINUTES OF INTERNET RESEARCH, THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD AND WELL PUBLISHED PROBLEM. THE FACT THAT IT WON'T PASS A STATE INSPECTION SPEAKS TO THE DANGER OF SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY DUE TO EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CABIN. WHY HAVE YOU NOT FORCED A RECALL? THE MANIFOLDS BEING REPLACED HAVE NO DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS TO PREVENT FUTURE FAILURES. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO CORRECT THEIR DESIGN ISSUES. REPLACING FAILED PARTS WITH IDENTICAL PARTS, THAT ARE SURE TO FAIL, IS NOTHING MORE THAN RETALIATION FOR BEING FORCED TO HONOR ANY SORT OF WARRANTY AND A "GOTCHA" TO THE CONSUMER. *TR
REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID BEHIND WHEELS . CAN BE A SAFTEY ISSUE FLUID GETS ON BRAKES THEREFORE MAKING THE BRAKES UNABLE TO STOP PROPERLY . PLEASE FIX ISSUE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY HOME FROM WORK AND IN A SPLIT SECOND THE BACK END OF THE TRUCK STARTED BOUNCING AND BECAME HARD TO STEER. I SLOWED DOWN AND WAS GETTING READY TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER WHEN A BIG CHUNK OF MY TIRE SEPARATED AND CAME FLYING OFF OVER MY TRUCK HITTING THE CAR BESIDE ME. I SLOWED DOWN EVEN MORE AND PULLED OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY, ( ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN LESS THAN 1 MILE) WHEN I GOT OUT I WAS SO UPSET WHEN I DISCOVERED THE DAMAGE THE SEPARATION OF THE DEFECTIVE TIRE HAD CAUSED TO MY TRUCK AND THE CAR OF A VERY IRATE DRIVER THESE TIRES DID NOT HAVE MORE THAN 20,000 MILES ON THEM. THE TIRE TOTALLY WRECKED MY UNDERCARRIAGE, INCLUDING THE RODS, SUPPORTS AND LINER FOR THE WHEEL WELL, PLUS THE WHEEL WELL, REAR QUARTER PANEL AND BUMPER. THERE ARE ALSO DAMAGES TO THE FRONT QUARTER PANEL OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE A $1000.00 DEDUCTIBLE AND NOW AM UNABLE TO AFFORD REPAIRS OR TIRES, I NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK AND NEED COOPER TIRES TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES AND DEFECTIVE TIRES PLEASE. *JS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHENEVER HE ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PINION SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 124,000.
ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED FRONT BRAKES AND PITCHED FRONT END DOWN ABRUPTLY AT LOW SPEED WITH A LOAD NOISE. *TR
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A NOISE FROM MY BACKEND AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED TO FIND MY LEAF SPRING BUSTED AND STICKING THROUGH MY TRUCK BED. I CALLED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO OFFER ANY HELP BECAUSE OF IT BEING A USED VEHICLE. IT SEEMS IT WOULD BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO DO A RECALL NOW UNTIL WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED. WHEN I ASKED THE YOUNG LADY WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TIME WHEN THE OTHER SIDE GOES AND I GET INTO A FATAL ACCIDENT KILLING MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE? HER REPLY WAS THAT WE WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS THAT WHEN IT HAPPENS. WHAT LOUSY CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR
REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID BEHIND WHEELS . CAN BE A SAFTEY ISSUE FLUID GETS ON BRAKES THEREFORE MAKING THE BRAKES UNABLE TO STOP PROPERLY . PLEASE FIX ISSUE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
I NOTICED A SOUND COMING FROM MY BACKEND. WHEN I GOT HOME I OPENED MY TAILGATE I FOUND THAT MY DRIVER SIDE LEAF SPRING SHACKLE HAD FAILED AND THE LEAF SPRING HAD PUNCTURED MY BED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ONLY TO FIND OUT THE $2000 WARRANTY THROUGH WHEELZ I PURCHASED DID NOT COVER IT. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THING YET NISSAN ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAS HAD MOISTURE INSIDE OF MY DRIVERS HEADLIGHT SINCE IT WAS NEW. THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 02/20/2014 AND ASKED FOR A REVIEW OF THE DEFECT AND REPAIR. I DOCUMENTED THE DEFECT AT HANLEES NISSAN PER NISSAN REQUEST AND FORWARDED THE INFORMATION TO THEM. I AM TOLD SINCE THE VEHICLE IS BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ASSIST ME. I CONTEND THAT THIS DEFECT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CREATES A HAZARD FOR LAMP FAILURE AND DISTORTS LIGHT EMISSION FROM THE HEADLIGHT WHEN IN USE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE AND FOUND THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS HAVING ISSUES WITH WATER TRAPPED INSIDE THE LIGHT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RESPONSE FROM NISSAN AND BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED OCCURRENCE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEFECT AND HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO REMEDY THE ISSUE OR ISSUE A REFUND FOR MY TITAN THAT I PURCHASED NEW. *TR
NOTICED UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, A CLICKING SOUND WHICH BECAME LOUDER WHEN DRIVING. VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER STATED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED. THEY FIXED IT. SHORTLY AFTER THE OTHER EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED AND THEY FIXED THAT AS WELL. SINCE THEN, THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND EITHER ONE OR BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAVE CRACKED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS GOING TO COST LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR. UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I WAS UPSET, BUT WAS WILLING TO ACCEPT THE SITUATION, UNTIL ONE MORNING I GOT A STRONG SMELL OF EXHAUST IN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. BEING A MECHANIC, I HAD MY HUNCHES. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT ON OCCASION I GET EXHAUST EMISSION IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO RECENTLY FOUND ONLINE THAT THERE ARE AN ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY THAT IF THE LEAK IS AROUND ANY WIRING, THE HOT GAS MAY CAUSE THE WIRING TO MELT CAUSING A POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE. THAT OF COURSE IS JUST AN EDUCATED OPINION. HOW MANY MORE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAVE TO CRACK BEFORE NISSAN WILL ADMIT THEY ARE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. IS IT ABOUT THE MONEY TO RECALL THE VEHICLE OR IS IT ABOUT SAFETY AFTER ALL? IN ADDITION, I WOULD HAVE COMPLETED THIS FORM A LOT SOONER, BUT I WAS JUST RECENTLY INFORMED ABOUT IT. THE VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY HAS MORE WEAR AND TEAR AND MORE MILEAGE, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT THIS HAPPENED MANY MILES AGO. THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO READ MY LETTER. *TR
TRAVELING 20 TO 25 MPH, UP A HILL, IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD "BANG". THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED TO THE RIGHT, STRIKING A TREE. NEVER WOULD YOU EXPECT A VEHICLE TO BRAKE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO THROW YOU INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I BELIEVE THAT THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL ISSUED. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND TRANSFER CASE HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE FRONT AXLE HAD BACKED OUT RESULTING IN FLUID LEAKING OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT HAD BEEN REDESIGNED. *TR
SUNDAY EVENING MY SON WAS DRIVING ONTO AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO I-10 INTERSTATE WHEN THE TRUCK DIED. FUEL GAUGE INDICATED TRUCK HAD FUEL. WOULD NOT START, LEFT ON SIDE OF INTERSTATE UNTIL NEXT DAY. BOUGHT SOME GAS TO PUT INTO TANK WHICH STARTED THE TRUCK. HE DROVE TO FILL TANK ! FUEL GAUGE INACCURATELY DISPLAYS FUEL READING. CALLED NISSAN TO INFORMED THEM OF MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A FUEL SYSTEM RECALL. I WAS TOLD I SERVICED MY TRUCK WITH THIS RECALL WHICH I TOLD CORPORATE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL SYSTEM. I ALWAYS ASK FOR OLD PARTS BUT WAS NOT PROVIDED. TODAY, I TOOK MY TRUCK TO PICAYUNE NISSAN TO GET INFO ON COST, DIAGNOSTICS FOR CORPORATE FOR THEM TO MAKE DECISION TO APPROVE THIS RECALL WORK. I SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE DEALERSHIP SENDS USED PARTS TO CORPORATE BECAUSE THEY PAID FOR WORK. I ASK I SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO INSPECT OLD WORN PARTS?! DEALERSHIP NOW WANTS TO CHARGE ME ABOUT $400.00 FOR THIS RECALL WORK. WHY IS A RECALL WARRANTY ALLOWED A ONE-TIME FIX!?! LEMON COMES TO MIND!!!! THX. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.
SITTING OVERNIGHT WITH TEMPERATURE IN THE 40'S, WHEN PUTTING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE,IT WOULD KEEP DROPPING OUT OF GEAR. THE TRUCK DROVE FINE WHEN MANUALLY SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS. PROBLEM CONTINUED FOR MOST OF A YEAR BUT DID NOT GENERATE AN ERROR CODE. FINALLY DEVELOPED AN ERROR CODE INDICATING PROBLEM IN FIRST GEAR OF THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY WITH TCM. THIS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF VALVE BODY INTERNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH HAD BEEN CONTAMINATED BY AN UNDETECTABLE RADIATOR TO TRANS COOLER LEAK ALSO REQUIRING THE RADIATOR TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM, FOR WHICH NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING, OTHER THAN PUTTING A SPECIAL COATING ON BOLTS INTERNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION TO DETECT THE PRESENCE OF COOLANT. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. IT COULD BE EASILY PREVENT BY THE INSTALLATION OF A SEPARATE TRANSMISSION COOLER. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER HAVING NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D. NUMBERS REMEDIED ON THE VEHICLE 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM) AND 10V517000 (ENGINE). AFTER THE VEHICLE WERE REPAIRED THE POWER TRAIN WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE DEALERS PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT DISPLAYED A DEFECT TO THE FRONT BRAKE SOLENOID. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE POWER TRAIN DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE RECALL REPAIR AND THE BRAKE SOLENOID WAS UNRELATED. THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE THE SOLENOID REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.
HEARD NOISE IN TRANSFER CASE, TOOK IN TO MECHANIC TO HAVE PROBLEM CHECKED. FOUND OUT ANTI-FREEZE AND TRASMISSION FLUID WERE MIXED TOGETHER. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT. AFTER REPAIR NEEDED ADDITIONAL REPAIR TO REPAIR TRANSMISSION LINE THAT HAD CAME OFF.
WHILE WAITING FOR MY WIFE TO COME OUT OF A STORE WITH TRUCK RUNNING I NOTICED A LIGHT FLICKERING IN THE STORE WINDOW. MY WIFE CAME OUT OF THE STORE AND GOT INTO THE TRUCK. WHILE BACKING OUT I NOTICED THE FLICKERING LIGHT IN THE WINDOW COMING WITH ME. WHEN I STOPPED THE TRUCK I NOTICED SMOKE COMING UP OVER MY HOOD THEN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK STARTED TO GET WARM. I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL AND TOLD MY WIFE THAT I THINK MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK, WENT TO THE FRONT AND SAW THE CONDENSER FAN MOTOR ON FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITH A CAN OF COKE THAT WAS ON THE GROUND. A LITTLE WHILE LATER IT FLAMED UP AGAIN AND HAD TO GET A BUCKET OF WATER FROM THE STORE CLERK. THE FIRE CAUSED OVER $4100.00 IN DAMAGE. I HAD A RECALL ON THIS CONDENSER FAN MOTOR, HAD IT TAKEN CARE OF IN FEBRUARY 2012. CAUGHT FIRE ON 09/02/2013. *TR
I OWN A 2006 NISSAN TITAN WITH 47000 MILES. PARTIAL VIN "1N6BA07A0" WHILE TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL MIDAS SHOP FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE MECHANIC POINTED OUT A LEAK ON LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL. THEY QUOTED ME WITH $350.00 TO REPLACE THE SEAL. HOWEVER THEY ALSO SUGGESTED TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPT TO REPLACE UNDER A RECALL/ WARRANTY... THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED $1900.00 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR AXLE UNDER THE GUIDANCE FROM THEIR TECHNICIANS AND IT BEING OVER THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY AND/OR NO RECALL. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A RIPOFF. HERE IS A QUOTE I FOUND ON THE CLUB TITAN FORUM SITE. HTTP://WWW.CLUBTITAN.ORG/FORUMS/ARCHIVE/INDEX.PHP/T-32631.HTML "LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 8000 MILES NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL. NISSAN REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WEOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *AK"

TODAY I FOUND THAT MY REAR AXLE OIL SEALS ARE LEAKING. IT IS SO BAD THAT THE OIL IS GETTING ON THE REAR BRAKES. WHICH MAKES SENSE CONSIDERING I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY REAR BRAKES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH BETTER OIL SEALS SO THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKED AGAIN. FIXED AT DEALER AT 62,837, REPLACED BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WITH NEW ONES. NOW AT 118023 MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED AGAIN, OUT OF WARRANTY AND DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP REPAIR SOMEWHERE AROUND $2900 TO FIX BOTH. I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND HAD I KNOWN PREVIOUSLY I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. NISSAN REPLACED THE FAULTY MANIFOLDS WITH THE SAME NEW FAULTY MANIFOLDS. *TR
GOING HOME FROM WORK, WHILE DRIVING EVERY TIME I PUT THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL ON I NOTICED THE LIGHT AT THE DASHBOARD FLASHES SO WEIRD AND THEN DISAPPEAR. I MADE FIVE RIGHT TURNS THAT NIGHT ALL ACTING THE SAME THING. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE GARAGE AND HAD IT CHECKED THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE WIRING INSIDE THE LAMP ASSEMBLY WAS MELTED, THE WIRE WAS TIED WITH PLASTIC STRING WRAP SO TIGHT THAT MADE THE INSULATION OF THE WIRE MELTS AND CREATED A SHORT CIRCUIT. THE WHOLE INSIDE OF THE COMBINATION LAMP ASSEMBLY REAR, RH OF MY TRUCK WAS MELTED. THEY CUT THE PLASTIC STRING WRAP AND THEN PUT SOME ELECTRICAL TAPE ON THE WIRES, THEY HAVE A HARD TIME OF PUTTING THE LAMP ASSEMBLY BACK INTO THE TRUCK AND UNTIL NOW I DID NOT REPLACE THE RH REAR COMBINATION LAMP ASSEMBLY. *TR
TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE AREA ESPECIALLY UNDER MODERATE ACCELERATION, DEALER INSPECTED AND SAID MY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED AND WOULD COST 3K TO FIX . NISSAN CUSTOMER RELATIONS REFUSES TO HELP IN ANY WAY EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK IS ONLY 4000 MILES PAST MILEAGE LIMIT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD (EXHAUST FUMES CAN ENTER CAB) AND NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. *TR
HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS AND HAVE BOTH (DRIVERS/PASSENGER SIDE) EXHAUST MANIFOLD ARE CRACKED. HAVE GONE TO NISSAN FOR THE REPAIRS .NISSAN HAS STATED THAT ITS A KNOWN ISSUE ON NISSAN TITANS FOR THE YEARS OF 2004-2007 BUT WON'T REPLACE IT. WAS QUOTED FOR THE REPAIR OF $3,000. ITS JUST OUT OF THE MILES ON THE 80K/8YEAR EMISSIONS WARRANTY, BUT STILL TIME FRAME.
LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENITAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTOR WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. THE LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID WILL CAUSED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO FAIL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO TITAN OWNERS WOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *TR
MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB HAS THE AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING , I WAS ADVISE BY A MECHANIC THAT THERE'S A RECALL ON SAME VEHICLES JUST LIKE MINE, THE RECENT DEALER'S DIAGNOSIS CONFIRMS THAT THE WIRING FOR THE HARNESS ARE BROKEN AND IT'S REQUIRE TO BE REPLACED, THIS ISSUE APPLIES TO THE SAME DESCRIPTION ON THE RECALL CAMPAIGN # 06V459000 NISSAN CLAIMS MY VIN IT'S NOT ON THE RECALL , BUT THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME ,IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE NISSAN,S RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR . THIS IS UNSAFE FOR ME ,MY FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS OUT THERE. I HOPE THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION OPEN A RECALL UNDER MY VIN RANGE. THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD . *TR

FIRST OF ALL ,I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT MY TRUCK HAS HIGH MILES.I PURCHASED IT NEW, DEALER SERVICED ONLY.IN FACT MY TRUCK WAS SERVICED BY A DEALER IN MIAMI ON 3-28-13 FOR OIL CHANGE ,THE DAY BEFORE I LOST MY TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF ,WHAT I NOW KNOW TO BE COMMON PLACE, A $5 COOLING TUBING THAT GOES TO THE TRANSMISSION. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS MAYBE THE TECH AT THE DEALER BROKE THE TUBING SINCE ITS INCHES AWAY FROM THE OIL FILTER AND MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED THERE HOURS BEFORE I LOST ALL MY FLUID,THEREFORE BURNING UP MY TRANSMISSION, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE DEALERS WOULD CHECK THE TUBING SINCE ITS RIGHT IN THE TECH'S FACE WHILE CONDUCTING OIL CHANGES. OH WELL ,MY TRUCK WAS WELL MAINTAINED,STILL LOOKS GREAT,TOTALLY LOADED LE, MY TRANNY WENT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING,THIS WILL COST ME AROUND $6000.I`M A NISSAN MAN,I JUST PURCHASED THE NEW 2013 PATHFINDER FOR MY WIFE BACK IN DECEMBER BEFORE IT EVEN APPEARED ON THE STREETS, SHOULD I HAVE FEARS ABOUT DEFECTS WITH THIS ONE ? WHAT'S GOING ON NISSAN ? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN WAS TAKEN IN FOR RECALLS. UPON COMPLETION OF THE WORK, WHICH WAS POORLY PERFORMED, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT BOTH OF MY MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WOULD COST ME OVER $2,000 BUT THE DEALER WOULD CUT ME A DEAL FOR $1,700 IF I WANTED TO DO IT RIGHT AWAY AND THEY ALSO THREATENED ME WITH THE FACT THAT I WOULD NOT PASS MY SMOG SO I HAD TO DO IT NOW. I DECLINED AS I COULD NOT AFFORD REPAIRS LIKE THAT. AFTER A SHORT SEARCH ONLINE I FOUND THAT THIS WAS A REGULAR ISSUE WITH TITANS BUT WAS NOT SUBMITTED FOR A RECALL. I HAVE ALSO SENT A COMPLAINT TO NISSAN. I AM QUITE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS THE LACK OF SERVICE I HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN STRONG SUPPORTERS OF NISSAN AND OWN MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER HAD ISSUES LIKE THIS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE RESOLVED. I WILL CONTINUE TO BUY NISSANS BUT HOPE THAT THIS WILL BE REVIEWED AND CLAIMED AS A RECALL. I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS AS MY HUSBAND AND I ARE BOTH CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED WITH 4 CHILDREN AND THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE WHICH WE CAN NO LONGER DRIVE BECAUSE WE CANNOT HAVE IT SMOGGED TO RENEW REGISTRATION. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THE MANIFOLDS HAD BEEN CRACKED FOR SOME TIME PRIOR TO THE VISIT TO THE DEALER. WE HAD ALWAYS TAKEN OUR TRUCK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE WE HAD PURCHASED A GOLD PACKAGE FOR MAINTENANCE AND I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT NOISE BEFORE AND THEY COULD NEVER FIND A PROBLEM. IT FIGURES THAT AS SOON AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WOULD MAGICALLY FIND THE ISSUE. *TR
REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE DESTROYED PARKING BRAKE SHOE PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT ENGAGE. *TR
FRONT PINION SEAL LEAKING POSSIBLY GET ON EXHAUST AND CAUSE A FIRE AND DESTROY ELECTRICAL WIRING. *TR
WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK IN 2WD I HEARD A VERY LOUD CLUNKING (METAL ON METAL) NOISE COMING FORM THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. AFTER REACHING HOME, I REALIZED THAT THE FRONT AXLE WAS FALLING OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. I JACKED THE TRUCK UP AND DROPPED THE FRONT DIFF PAN. THIS IS WHERE I REALIZED THAT THE CLIPS HOLD IN THE FRONT AXLE HAVE FAILED AND BROKE IN TWO. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, HAD I BEEN TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THE WHEEL CAME OFF. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THIS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR
WITHIN A PERIOD OF 14-15 MONTHS BOTH REAR AXLE SEAL ASSEMBLIES FAILED, ONE EACH ON PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE OF THE REAR AXLE. ACCORDING TO NATIONAL TIRE & BATTERY THE ENTIRE AXLE ASSEMBLY IS REQUIRED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE A SEAL THAT IS LEAKING, AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1000.00 EACH TIME. THIS SEEMS QUITE UNREASONABLE AND EXCESSIVE TO REPLACE AN AXLE THAT IS IN PERFECT OPERATING CONDITION WHEN THE ONLY ISSUE IS WITH A RUBBER BOOT (SEAL) THAT IS LEAKING FLUID. *TR
REAR AXLE IS LEAKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR
WHILE DRIVING DOWN A DIRT ROAD MY SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO A DITCH. I CONTACTED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA AND THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WHEN I TOOK IT THERE AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO COVER IT SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK USED AND THEY ASKED WHAT OTHER ACTIONS I WAS GOING TO PURSUE AND I SAID I WAS GOING TO CONTACT A LAWYER AND THEY WERE VERY ADAMANT ABOUT ME NOT CONTACTING A LAWYER WHICH I CONSIDERED TO BE A RED FLAG. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I NOTICED I AM NOT THE ONLY NISSAN TITAN OWNER THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO FILE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE OR SHOP FEES BECAUSE I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE MY FAULT AND FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY SINCE MY WIFE DRIVES THIS TRUCK AND WE HAUL OUR NIECE AND NEPHEW IN THE TRUCK WHEN WE HAVE THEM AND HAD THIS HAPPENED ON OUR FREEWAY AT 75MPH THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, HE COULD SMELL GASOLINE AS THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMALLY LOUD CLICKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WERE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 135,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION AND A LOUD NOISE EMITTED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
2006 WITH 2000 MILES; REAR DIFFERENTIAL MADE A LOUD GEAR WHINE SOUND WHEN IN UN-LOADED DE-CEL. TOOK TITAN BACK TO DEALER. DEALER REPLACED DIFFERENTIAL UNDER WARRANTY (2000 MILES, ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE). AT 115,000 MILES IN JULY OF 2011, REPLACED REAR AXLE SEALS (NO WARRANTY). NOW, SEPTEMBER 2012, AT 133,000 MILES. THE SLIP AND BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN DIFFERENTIAL GEAR OIL IS COLD. ONCE WARMED UP, LIGHTS GO OUT AND STAY OUT AFTER TITAN IS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED WARM. CHANGED DIFFERENTIAL OIL EVERY 7500 MILES WITH 75W 140 SYNTHETIC OIL PER MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES. NO ADDITIVES CALLED FOR OR USED WITH GEAR OIL CHANGES. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL THE LIGHTS (SLIP AND BRAKE) INDICATE THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND LIMITED SLIP ARE NOT OPERATIONAL WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON. DIFFERENTIAL REPAIR/REPLACEMENT REQUIRED TO RE-GAIN ABS AND LSD FEATURES. NOT SURE IF THE ULTIMATE FAILURE MODE IS 'GRACEFUL' OR NOT. *TR
2006 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 CURRENTLY WITH 80,200 MILES. LEFT AND RIGHT REAR AXLE OIL LEAK. AT APPROXIMATELY 65000 MILES, DURING A TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE AT A NISSAN DEALER, MECHANIC NOTICED THE PASSENGER REAR AXLE WAS LEAKING. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATED IT WOULD BE ABOUT $500.00 TO REPAIR. HE ALSO STATED THAT NO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. AFTER HAVING THE ENGINE OIL CHANGED ON JULY 2012, I NOTICED MY DRIVER SIDE REAR AXLE LEAKING NOW. SEVERAL SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE BEEN POSTED ONLINE. NISSAN SHOULD PUSH THE MANUFACTURE TO HAVE THIS HAZARDOUS ISSUE RESOLVED VERY SOON AND NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THE SEAL AT NO COST OR AT A LOW DISCOUNTED PRICE. *TR
MY 2006 TITAN STARTED VIBRATING LIKE RUNNING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS ON SIDE OF HIGHWAY. TOOK STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM SPLIT AND CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACED $7313.56. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ANYTHING. AFTER READING MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING ON OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL ON THE COOLING SYSTEM THAT CAN CAUSE THIS AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 35 MPH WHEN A NOISE EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,300 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 99,400.
DURING ROUTINE SERVICE AT 19500 MILES. DURING TIRE ROTATION IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT I HAD A HAIR LINE CRACK RUNNING VERTICALLY ON ONE OF MY NISSAN TITAN OEM TIRES , BRIDGESTONE DUELER AT P245 /75R17 110S ( D693ACZ ). I HAD BEN NOTICING VIBRATION AD BRAKING SHUDDER RECENTLY ALSO . MY INVESTIGATION HAS LEAD TO OTHER ONLINE FORUM WHERE THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHARACTERISTIC OF BRIDGESTONE DUELER AT P245 /75R17 110S ( D693ACZ ). *TR
HAD TRUCK IN SHOP FOR EXHAUST PIPE FALLING OFF AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR AXEL SEALS AND BEARINGS ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE AXEL HAD BEEN LEAKING FLUID ONTO MY TIRES AND BRAKES WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN BRAKE FAILURE OR FIRE. NISSAN WILL NOT WARRANTY THE REAR AXEL REPAIRS. THIS IS THE SECOND NEW NISSAN FACTORY AXEL TO BE INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN 2006. IT IS CURRENTLY HAVING THE REAR SEALS AND BEARINGS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN MODEL AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY IN NISSAN TITAN. TRUCK FLOOR GOT HOT AT ONE POINT. LATER TRUCK SPUTTERED AND SHUT ITSELF DOWN. I LET IT COOL DOWN AND IT DROVE FINE FOR A WHILE. NEXT DAY ALL OF US IN THE CAR WERE A LITTLE SICK AND NAUSEATED. CAR DROVE FINE THE REST OF THE TRIP AND IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME UP. LOOKED UP THE CODES WHICH WERE THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAD LOSS EFFICIENCY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEAL FOR A COMPLETE DIAGNOSIS. DEALER CONFIRMED ALL 4 CAT CONVERTERS WERE DEAD AND IT PROBABLY CAUSED BY A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWS THAT NISSAN TITANS HAVE A HISTORY OF CRACKS IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS NOT ONLY RUINS THE CAT CONVERTERS BUT EXHAUST FUMES LEAK INTO THE CABIN CAUSING A HEALTH RISK. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THIS BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM YET. *TR
2006 NISSAN TITAN. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE AND RECALL ISSUES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY, SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. IT WOULD TAKE EXTREME FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT, AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAN MOTOR, ENGINE CONTROL MODULE RELAY, INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE ALL MALFUNCTIONED. ALSO, THE LOWER CONTROL LINKS THAT ATTACHED TO THE CHASSIS MOUNTING FAILED.
NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR AXLE SEAL IS LEAKING FLUID. COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE AXLE TO SEIZE AND/OR BRAKES TO FAIL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. LUCKILY I HAD A MECHANIC NOTICE IT BEFORE I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER DUE TO POOR QUALITY PARTS. *TR

I DIDN'T HAULED ANY HEAVY LOAD IN MY NISSAN TITAN 2006 AT THE TIME IT HAPPENED TO THE BROKEN LEAF SPRING SHACKLE. AS I DRIVING I FELT THE TRUCK HAVE AN ODD MOVING MOTION ON THE ROAD. I PARKED THE TRUCK AND THE TRUCK BED SEEMS LIKE ITS LOP-SIDED WHEN YOU LOOK STRAIGHT TO THE TRUCK BED. I LOOK UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK BED AND SAW THE REAR DRIVER SIDE LEAF SPRING SHACKLE BROKEN APART AND PUNCTURED A LARGE SEAM TO THE TOP OF THE TRUCK BED. *TR

BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING AND NEED REPLACED. I HAVE NEVER PULLED ANYTHING WITH THIS TRUCK AND AT 70,000 OR EVEN SOONER, I'M NOT SURE WHEN IT STARTED LEAKING, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR REPLACE REAR AXLE SEALS. *TR

LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED. THEY ARE NORMALLY COVERED UNDER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY OF 8YR/80K MILES. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BY 4,000 MILES. I PUT 4K MILES EVERY 3 MONTHS AND I HAVE HEARD THE TICKING NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD FOR OVER THIS TIME PERIOD. I CONTACTED NISSAN USA FOR LOYAL CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND WAS DENIED. I FILED AN APPEAL AND WAS DENIED WITHIN 2 HOURS. I HAVE OWNED (3) NISSANS IN THE PAST 7 YEARS AND EXPECT SOME COMPENSATION. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM ON ALL TITANS 2004 TO 2007. THIS SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL FOR EXHAUST GASES GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. *TR
I NOTICED AN EXHAUST LEAK ON MY TRUCK. TOOK IT TO A REPUTABLE EXHAUST SHOP, THEY TOLD ME THEIR WAS A CRACK IN THE CONVERTER AND I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER CHECKING THE WEB I REALIZED IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY (80000 ON EXHAUST EMISSIONS) MY TRUCK ONLY HAD 65K. THEY REPLACED BOTH MANIFOLDS AS THEY WERE BOTH CRACKED. THIS REPAIR WOULD HAVE COST ME 2500.00! AFTER SEEING THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TITAN TRUCKS, I THINK THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. ALSO THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I HAD A FRONT DIFFERENTIAL LEAK WHICH WAS THE PINION SEAL, THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME 300-500.00. OF COURSE ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY THIS. AFTER SEEING THIS IS ALSO A COMMON PROBLEM, I FEEL NISSAN NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM FOR BOTH ME AND FELLOW MOTORIST. MY TRUCK HAS 65,000 MILES AND IS BABIED! TOTAL REPAIRS WOULD BE AROUND 3000.00 FOR THE MANIFOLDS AND THE DIFFERENTIAL, I FEEL SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. *TR
ABOUT A MONTH AGO I NOTICE A WEIRD NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK WHENEVER I WOULD SLOW DOWN AND SOMETIMES SPEED UP. AS THE WEEK WENT BY I NOTICE THE NOISE GETTING LOUDER. IT STARTED OUT WITH A CLICKING SOUND THEN IT INTENSIFIED WITH A CLUCKING SOUND. AFTER HAVING A LOCAL SHOP LOOK AT MY TRUCK THEY FOUND FLUIDS BY THE RIGHT BREAK, WHICH INDICATED THAT A SEAL HAD GONE BAD AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE CLUCKING AND CLICKING NOISES ARE FROM THE GEARS IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. PIECES OF THE GEARS HAD BROKEN OFF. THEY ESTIMATED A JOB LIKE THIS WOULD RUN ABOUT $3500!!! I DO NOT HAVE THE KIND OF MONEY! I HAVE READ ALL THE TREADS POSTED BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE CONTACT NISSAN'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AND GOT NOWHERE! PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW I CAN HAVE NISSAN PAY FOR THIS!!! *TR

I HAVE A 2006 SE NISSAN TITAN TRUCK, MY CONCERN IS I JUST FOUND OUT FROM MY LOCAL DEALER THAT I HAVE A EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK. THE MAIN REASON FOR MY CONCERN IS... HOW THIS CAME ABOUT WAS BECAUSE I WAS AND STILL AM GETTING EXHAUST FUMES INTO DRIVER COMPARTMENT WHICH IN RETURN GIVES ME HEADACHES, AND ON TWO OCCASIONS CAUSED SERVE DIZZINESS. WHEN I EXPLAINED THIS TO THE DEALER THE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO! I HAVE TWO CHILDREN WHO I DRIVE TO SCHOOL, I DON'T NEED THEM GETTING SICK FROM THESE FUMES FROM WHICH I EXPERIENCED! I'M ASKING FOR SOME KIND OF HELP! *TR
BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS STARTED LEAKING ALL OVER MY BRAKES AND INSIDE THE WHEEL WELL CAUSING POOR BREAKING ABILITY. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TITANS AND THAT THEY NO LONGER RECOMMEND REPLACING JUST THE SEALS BUT INSTEAD THE WHOLE AXLE. THE TECH (WHO TOLD ME HE HAD 20 YRS WITH NISSAN) SAID THAT WHEN THEY USED TO JUST REPLACE THE SEALS PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK 6 MONTHS LATER BECAUSE THE SEALS WOULD BLOW AGAIN. ALL OF THE POSTS ONLINE SAY THAT IT IS A RESULT OF AN IMPROPER VENTING SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE RELEASE OF NEGATIVE PRESSURE. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, AND NISSAN KNOWS THAT IT IS, WHY DON'T THEY DO A FULL RECALL? THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE. *TR
LEFT REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE FRACTURED ON A SMOOTH ROAD, CAUSING THE LEAF SPRING TO IMPACT AND DEFORM THE BED AND DEGRADING HANDLING. *TR
REAR AXLE SEAL, DRIVER SIDE, AND SOON AFTER, THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL, FAILED. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKED OUT ONTO INNER WHEEL SURFACE, BRAKE PARTS, AND IMMEDIATE AREA CREATING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM FOR NISSAN TITAN OWNERS AND NISSAN IS, AND HAS BEEN, WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT OFFERED A DESIGN SOLUTION TO MY KNOWLEDGE. NEARLY EVERY TITAN EXPERIENCES THIS SEAL FAILURE AT SOME POINT. SOME WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, (WHICH TYPICALLY GET REPAIRED BY NISSAN) BUT AS FOR THE REST OF US WHO ARE BEYOND OUR WARRANTIES, WE ARE LEFT WITH THIS HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND A BIG REPAIR BILL. **THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, OR AT LEAST REPAIRED BY NISSAN AT THEIR EXPENSE. ITS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUTLINING THE ISSUEFOR NISSAN MECHANICS. PLEASE HELP** *TR
DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THE CABIN HEATER WOULDN'T GET WARM. DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT AS I WAS DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MILES. THE NEXT MORNING NOTICED A LARGE POOL OF ANTIFREEZE UNDER THE TRUCK. TOPPED THE COOLANT OFF, FIRED THE TRUCK UP AND LET IT IDLE IN THE DRIVEWAY UNTIL IT CAME UP TO NORMAL TO WARM WATER TEMPERATURE AND ANTIFREEZE BEGAN DRIPPING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR. RESEARCHED THE RADIATOR ISSUE AND FOUND SOME TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD TO REPLACE CRACKED/SPLIT RADIATORS MORE THAN ONCE. TO AVOID MULTIPLE RADIATOR REPLACEMENTS I WILL BE PURCHASING A HIGH PERFORMANCE ALUMINUM RADIATOR AT A SIGNIFICANT COST DIFFERENCE. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE PLASTIC RADIATORS MAY CUT DOWN THE VEHICLES WEIGHT, MAKING IT EASIER TO ATTAIN FEDERAL MPG STANDARDS BUT THE ALL METAL ONES JUST LAST LONGER AND ARE EASILY REPAIRED. HOW MANY TITAN RADIATORS HAVE DRAINED THEIR ANTIFREEZE INTO THE STREET AND THEN THE STORM DRAIN? MAYBE THE EPA SHOULD BE INFORMED SINCE; "ANTIFREEZE IS TOXIC TO HUMANS AND ANIMALS. WASTE ANTIFREEZE CONTAINS HEAVY METALS SUCH AS LEAD, CADMIUM, AND CHROMIUM IN HIGH ENOUGH LEVELS TO POTENTIALLY MAKE IT A REGULATED HAZARDOUS WASTE, SO MOST STATES STRICTLY REGULATE ANTIFREEZE DISPOSAL. ANTIFREEZE GENERATORS AND STATE AND LOCAL PROGRAMS SHOULD NOT DUMP SPENT ANTIFREEZE ON LAND OR DISCHARGE IT INTO A SANITARY SEWER, STORM DRAIN, DITCH, DRY WELL, OR SEPTIC SYSTEM; DUMPING ANTIFREEZE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS WATER QUALITY PROBLEMS AND MIGHT HARM PEOPLE, PETS, OR WILDLIFE". *TR *KB
ON A RECALL FOR A FAULTY ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE). THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN, HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER. NISSAN COVERED THIS ECM. DURING THE REPAIR THE MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING AND RECOMMENDED THAT THEY BE REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE COST TO REPAIR WAS ESTIMATED AT $750.00. WHILE WEB SURFING FOR THE REPAIR PROCESS FOR THE SEALS I RAN ACROSS MANY COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN INCLUDING MODELS FROM 2004 TO PRESENT (2012). BASED ON THE FEEDBACK FROM OTHER TITAN OWNERS, THIS IS A COMMON FLAW WITH THE VEHICLE AND A COSTLY ONE AT THAT. ALSO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER WITNESSED REAR AXLE SEALS FAILING IN A VEHICLE. MOST SEEM TO LAST THE LIFE TIME OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURE'S RESPONSIBLITY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PARTS CREATING AN UNSAFE AND USELESS MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TT
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CRACKED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH AND CAUSED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID TO LEAK FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOR THE SAME FAILURE BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.
TRAVELING IN HEAVY MORNING TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE SIMPLY QUIT IN THE MIDST OF HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES. IT WOULD NOT FULLY RESTART BUT WOULD ONLY ROUGH IDLE A TIME OR TWO. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE IPDM/ECM HAD FAILED. THE PARTS WERE REPLACED AND AS SOON AS I BEGAN LEAVE THE REPAIR FACILITY THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT ONE OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAD FAILED...DUE TO RAW FUEL BEING DUMPED INTO IT AS RESULT OF THE FAILURE OF THE IPDM/ECM. A FEW DAYS LATER, AS I WAS RESEARCHING CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ONLINE, I CAME ACROSS A NISSAN RECALL - NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 10V517000 AND REALIZED THAT THIS WAS THE EXACT SITUATION BUT THAT I HAD NOT RECEIVED NOTICE OF SAID RECALL. I CONTACTED NISSAN REGARDING THIS SITUATION AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIRS AND THEY ADVISED THAT I'D HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ONE OF THEIR DEALERS FOR INSPECTION BEFORE THEY'D CONSIDER REIMBURSING. I DID SO AND THEY DID REIMBURSE FOR THE IPDM/ECM REPAIRS. HOWEVER, WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE...WHICH WAS AN IMMEDIATE RESULT OF THE IPDM/ECM FAILURE, THE DEALER (AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS) INDICATED THAT I'D HAVE TO GET AN ESTIMATE & "RESTART" THE PROCESS. WHILE DOING SO, I LEARNED OF NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF THIS VERY SAME THING HAPPENING WHEN IPDM/ECM FAILS & DUMPS RAW FUEL INTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. SO, I OBTAINED THE ESTIMATE FROM A NISSAN DEALER AND RECONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND BEGAN THE PROCESS AGAIN. IN THE MEANTIME, I DID LEARN THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH A DAMAGED CONVERTER AS IT CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL...THEREBY CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE ROAD...FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. NISSAN HAS NOW REFUSED TO PAY TO REPAIR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH WAS DAMAGED BY THE FAILURE OF THEIR RECALLED PART...AND I AM WONDERING IF YOUR OFFICE CAN HELP ME IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) AND THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) FAILED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. IN ADDITION, FUEL LEAKED INTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ABNORMALLY, CAUSING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. THE DEALER INSPECTED AND REPAIRED THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE, THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE MANUFACTURER ASSISTED WITH THE COST OF REPAIRS OF THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE AND THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 96,000.
MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAS AN AXEL SEAL FAILURE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR, DIFFERENTIAL FLUID IS LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKES CAUSING REDUCED BRAKING AND ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR AXLE/DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. NISSAN REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS DESIGN FLAW. THEY HAVE A RE-ENGINEERED REPLACEMENT AXLE SHAFT AND SEAL AT A COST OF ABOUT $800 PER SIDE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL NOT $1600 OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX. WILL NISSAN AND NTSB WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE FATALITIES BEFORE THEY ADDRESS THIS COMMON ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN TITANS? *TR
I OWN A 4X4 LOADED 2006 TITAN LE WHICH IS MY PRIMARY FAMILY VEHICLE. AROUND 80K, ECM MODULE WENT OUT CAUSING CAR TO STALL OUT AND LOSE ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC (WITH MY KIDS). LUCKY NOT TO BE NAILED BY AN ON-COMING CAR, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MODULE WAS REPLACED DUE TO RECALL. ONE WEEK LATER WHILE VACATIONING IN THE MOUNTAINS THE BATTERY RANDOMLY FRIED, WE REPLACED IT. HOWEVER IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING, THE ANTI-THEFT ALARM WOULD RANDOMLY SOUND OFF, THE DVD PLAYER WOULDN'T WORK (HASN'T WORKED SINCE), THE SUNROOF WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND WOULDN'T OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY. ONCE WE RETURNED, THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG (EXCEPT THE DVD PLAYER, WHICH NO ONE COULD EXPLAIN). ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE FOUND THAT THE FIRST CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD BLOWN..FOLLOWED NOT LONG AFTER BY CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND THE DRIVERS SIDE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BAD..DEALERSHIP WANTS $3000 JUST FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS!!! I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPLACEMENT! THIS CLEARLY IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND NOT A ISOLATED CASE, NISSAN MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! I HEAR RUMORS OF A CLASS ACTION...IT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!! I'M HOPING THEY DO THE RIGHT THING AND JUST FIX IT, WITHOUT HAVING TO GET LAWYERS INVOLVED. *TR
JUST REPLACED THE REAR SEALS FOR A NISSAN TITAN 2006. PROBLEM BEGAN AT 65,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THAT LACK OF FLUID DUE TO LEAKING COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOCK-UP WHILE DRIVING. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. ALSO HAD TAILPIPE ISSUES (DROPPING FROM THE TRUCK) WHICH IS ALSO WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET AND, AGAIN, A SAFETY PROBLEM. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR
I JUST WENT INTO THE DEALERSHIP LAST THURSDAY THE 27TH OF SEPTEMBER TO HAVE A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE PERFORMED. AS PART OF THE INSPECTION THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT MY REAR AXLE SEALS ON MY TRUCK WERE SEEPING/LEAKING AGAIN. THE DEALER HAD REPLACED THE REAR AXLES AND SEALS UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AT 46520 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE TRUCK NOW HAS A LITTLE OVER 54K MILES AND THEY ARE GOING OUT AGAIN. SO ESSENTIALLY 14 MONTHS AFTER THE DEALER REPLACED EVERYTHING IT IS OUT AGAIN. I AM GOING TO CONTACT NISSAN DIRECTLY AGAIN TO GET THIS REPAIRED EVEN THOUGH I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BY LESS THAN A MONTH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR BOTH MY FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AS THESE SEALS CAN LEAK OIL ONTO THE BRAKES AND COULD CAUSE A REAR END FAILURE AT DRIVING SPEED WHICH COULD ENDANGER LIVES. THIS TRUCK HAS LOW MILES FOR A 2006 AND TOWS A LIGHT TRAILER WITH ATVS A FEW TIMES A YEAR. ALL MANUFACTURE MAINTENANCE IS PERFORMED ON TIME BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. *TR
2006 NISSAN TITAN ONLY 35,000 MILES AND BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKED AND WERE LEAKING EXHAUST GASES THAT COULD NOT BE FED INTO CATALYTIC CONVERTERS..DEALER REPLACED UNDER EMISSIONS WARRANTY SINCE EXHAUST MANIFOLD/CATALYTIC CONVERTER ARE A SOLID 1 PIECE UNIT. THEY REPLACED WITH IDENTICAL DEFECTIVE PIECES THAT I AM POSITIVE WILL CRACK LIKE THE ORIGINAL ONES..PLEASE CHECK ONLINE TITAN FORUMS AND YOU WILL SEE IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALMOST EVERY TITAN..MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS THEY "AUTOMATICALLY CHECK EVERY TITAN" FOR THIS ISSUE..I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CAMPAIGN BECAUSE IT IS SO COMMON AND NOT FROM DRIVER ERROR/ABUSE, AND ONCE ANY TITAN IS OUT OF THE 8 YEAR/80000 MILE COVERAGE IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR TOTALING OVER 2,000 DOLLARS! MOST TITAN OWNERS REPORT A TICKING SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD ESPECIALLY UNDER COLD START UP-I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS ON MINE SO I HAD NO IDEA MINE WERE CRACKED THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO INSPECT AS MANY TITANS AS POSSIBLE FOR THIS EMISSIONS ISSUE. *TR
THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR CRACKING ON TITANS, CAUSING EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE TRUCK CAB. VERY DANGEROUS, LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS. UN CONVERTED EXHAUST IS LEAKING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE SO THIS EFFECTS THE EMISSIONS LAWS. THE MANIFOLDS ARE ONE-PIECE WITH THE CATS BY THE WAY. THEY SHOULD ALL BE REPLACED DUE TO EXTREMELY POOR DESIGN AND FAILURE RATE ON MANY TITANS ON FORUMS SUCH AS TITANTALK.COM. *TR
AXLE SEALS ON REAR OF VEHICLE LEAK EXCESSIVELY. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A TIRE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF HIS. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKES BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE PRECEDING HIS. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,000.
REAR AXLE SEALS HAVE NOW FAILED FOR THE 3RD TIME. NISSAN DEALERS TELLS ME NISSAN WILL NOT PERMIT THEM TO REPLACE SEALS ALONE. NISSAN CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS FIX IS TO REPLACE ENTIRE AXLE ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $800 EACH AXLE. NISSAN IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF A DESIGN PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT TAKE THE LEAD TO FIX, BUT PUT THE COST OF A DEFECTIVE DESIGN ON THE BACK OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. NISSAN SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THERE IS A FLAW IN THE MATERIALS USED IN THE DIFFERENTIAL AND DIFFERENTIAL IS NOT VENTING PROPERLY THUS CAUSING THE SEALS TO PREMATURELY FAIL. I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED SINCE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON NISSAN TITAN TRUCKS THAT NISSAN WILL NOT FACE. SOUNDS LIKE NISSAN IS HAVING A TOYOTA MOMENT AND BURYING THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND. *KB
AT 38,000 MILES THE DRIVE SIDE REAR AXLE SEAL ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN STARTED LEAKING SPREADING GREASE ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL. THIS WAS NOT IN ANY WAY DUE TO NEGLECT OF THE VEHICLE, OFF ROAD 4-WHEEL DRIVE DRIVING OR VIA AUTO ACCIDENT AS I DRIVE EXCLUSIVELY ON PAVED ROADS AND THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THIS COULD EASILY HAVE COVERED MY BRAKES WITH GREASE AND OIL AND CAUSED LONGER STOPPING DISTANCES WHICH OF COURSE COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. *TR
NOTICED LOUD BANGING IN REAR OF TRUCK. FOUND THE EXHAUST TAILPIPE BROKE OFF NEAR THE MUFFLER AND WAS HANGING BY A MOUNTING POST. UPON INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL OF THE TAILPIPE FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF TRUCK, IT LOOKED LIKE A JUNCTION OF THE TAIL PIPE TO THE MUFFLER PIPE HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. *TR
REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE BOTH SIDES. CONTAMINATED BRAKES CAUSING FAILURE OF REAR BRAKES. REPLACEMENT OF SEALS AND BRAKE COMPONENTS NECESSARY FOR REPAIR. ACCIDENT AVOIDED. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO EXHIBIT A LOUD NOISE WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER STROKE SENSOR FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED THE FAILURE AND DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT HAD BEEN CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE FUEL FILTER OR BATTERY. AS A PRECAUTION THE CONTACT REPLACED BOTH PARTS. THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO REFERRED HIM TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

2006 NISSAN TITAN SE REAR LEFT SEAL LEAKING FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THE SAME ISSUE ON THE LEFT REAR SEAL IS LEAKING AGAIN AND ALSO THE RIGHT REAR SEAL IS STARTING TO LEAK. BASED ON ALL MY RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CONTINUED TO BE COVERED AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS. MY TRUCK IS NOW AT THE DEALER AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. MY TRUCK HAS ONLY 88,000 MILES. *TR
CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE MANY NISSAN TITANS ARE EXPERIENCING PREMATURE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. SOME FAILURES ARE CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SEIZE, AS PARTICLES OF THE CORE OF SUCKED UP INTO THE ENGINE. THIS HAS CAUSED FAILURES WHILE DRIVING, AND AS OF YET HAS NOT CAUSED ANY CRASHES OR FIRES. I BELIEVE IT IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THERE ARE ARE LARGE NUMBER OF FAILURES BEFORE 80,000 MILES, AND A LARGE NUMBER OF FAILURES RIGHT AFTER 80,000 MILES WHICH LEAVES IT UP TO THE CONSUMER TO PAY $1700+ TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE. NISSAN IS SAYING IT'S NOT AN ISSUE, BUT INTERNET REPORTS OF THE FAILURES WOULD SAY OTHERWISE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. THANKS *TT
THE REAR ALE BEARINGS IN MY 2006 4X4 NISSAN TITAN HAVE FAILED. NO PARTS MANUFACTURER EXCEPT NISSAN IS OFFERING THE PARTS AND ONLY AS A WHOLE DIFFERENTIAL UNIT. *TT

BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. THEIR FAILURE EMITTED RAW ENGINE EXHAUST INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT POTENTIALLY ENDANGERING THE LIFE/HEALTH OF THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS DUE TO CARBON DIOXIDE EXPOSURE THROUGH CABIN AIR INLETS WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN. AT THE VERY LEAST, AIR POLLUTION IN VIOLATION OF THE EPA OCCURRED MULTIPLIED BY THE VAST NUMBER OF DOCUMENTED NISSAN EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILURES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
POORLY CONSTRUCTED EXHAUST MANIFOLD(S) EQUIPPED IN 2004-2007 NISSAN TITANS CRACK UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. NEARLY ALL TITANS ON THE ROAD (UP UNTIL ABOUT 2008) ARE EFFECTED BY THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. 2008+ TITANS ARE SAID TO BE EQUIPPED WITH STRONGER MANIFOLDS, BUT THOSE CRACK AS WELL. THIS CRACK, IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF, MAY THROW ERROR CODES WHICH WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO LEAN OUT AND POSSIBLY DESTROY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. ASIDE FROM POSSIBLE ENGINE MALFUNCTION DUE TO THIS CRACK, EXHAUST GASES TO NOT PROPERLY EXHAUST OUT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND SUBSEQUENTLY EXIT THE MANIFOLDS WITHIN THE ENGINE BAY AND ENTER INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN. AS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE ATTACHED TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, THEY CAN BE REPLACED BY THE 8Y/80K MILE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY. HOWEVER, MANY DEALERS WILL NOT LOOK AT THE MANIFOLDS TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE UNTIL AFTER THIS POINT. REPLACING THE MANIFOLDS USING OEM PRODUCTS IS QUITE COSTLY. *KB
TAIL PIPE RUSTED AT FLANGE NEXT TO MUFFLER AND NOTICED LIQUID LEAKING FROM AROUND THE CENTER OF MY RIGHT REAR WHEEL. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN, THEY CONFIRMED REAR SEAL LEAKAGE. SCHEDULED TO BE FIXED TOMORROW.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 TO 70 MPH, HE COULD HEAR A LOUD WHISTLING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 34,000.
WHILE DRIVING, HEARD A BANG, DID NOT NOTICE ANY DAMAGE AT FIRST. LATER ONCE THE TRUCK WAS PARKED AT HOME SEEN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING WAS PUSHED THROUGH THE BED OF THE TRUCK. (HAVE PICTURES, IF NEEDED) THE PART PUSHED THROUGH THE METAL OF THE BED AS WELL AS THE SPRAY ON BED LINER. TOOK TRUCK TO THE LOCAL GARAGE, WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE ANY FURTHER THAN JUST A COUPLE MILES. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT HE COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS HAPPENED GIVEN THE YEAR OF THE TRUCK. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION HE RECOMMENDED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE BE REPLACED AS WELL, BEFORE IT BROKE ALSO, HE STATED THAT IT WAS VERY THIN METAL. THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS PURCHASED AT THE A DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS INCIDENTS WHERE THIS PART HAS BROKEN CAUSING SIMILAR DAMAGE. REPAIRS TO THE TRUCK WILL ALSO REQUIRE REPLACING THE TRUCK BED POSSIBLE. THIS TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN OFF ROAD NOR HAS IT BEEN USED TO HAUL ITEMS, IT HAS A FIBERGLASS BED COVER ON IT.
I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. I WAS ON VACATION WITH MY WIFE AND GRANDDAUGHTER THIS PAST WEEK WHEN I NOTICED THE BRAKING ON MY TRUCK FELT WRONG. IT TOOK MUCH FURTHER TO STOP THAN IT SHOULD. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I PULLED OVER TO A REST AREA AND NOTICED A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I CHECKED THE FLUIDS AND EVERYTHING LOOKED OK. I WENT TO A GARAGE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME WHERE THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID INTO THE BRAKE DRUMS ON BOTH REAR WHEELS AND SPINNING FLUID INTO THE WHEELS. THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO GET IT OVER TO THE NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH TITANS. THEY CONSIDER IT SAFE. BUT THEY TELL ME I NEED TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY. THE REAR BRAKES HAVE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING INTO THEM. WHICH MEANS I MAY EVEN HAVE TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING DAMAGED! THEY ALSO TOLD ME THE REAR AXLE COULD LOCK UP CAUSING MORE DANGER AND DAMAGE. THEY ADMIT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE BUT THEY WILL NOT LET THE OWNERS KNOW IN WRITING. THAT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY WOULD RATHER THE OWNER ENCURE THE HUGE EXPENSE OF REPAIRING THIS ISSUE AFTER THEIR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER THIS A RECALL. I WILL HAVE TO SPEND $3000 TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE. I AM FURIOUS AND DISAPOINTED THAT NISSAN WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE I SEE HUNDREDS OF POST.WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED? IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN FIVE YEARS YET SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I AM ONLY AT 85,000 MILES. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEIR PATHETIC RESPONSE AND REFUSAL TO FIX THIS ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE.THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE NISSAN! I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN IF THEY DON'T RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER: STORAGE: FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM) WAS RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED AGAIN AND LATER HAD THE FUEL SENSOR REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED PROPERLY UNTIL THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FUEL PUMP CAUSED THE FAILURE, NOT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN, BUT THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.
2006 NISSAN TITAN AXLE SEAL FAILURE. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND AXLE SEAL REPLACED AND THE SECOND TIME THE PINION SEAL HAS BEEN REPLACED ON A TRUCK WITH ONLY 73000 MILES. THE COST IS PROHIBITIVE AND THE FAILURE CAUSES GREASE TO DRIP ON THE REAR BRAKES. *TR

REAR AXLE IS LEAKING OIL FROM IT. ITS GETTING THE REAR BRAKES WET, WITH THE OIL IS MAKING IT HARDER TO STOP. I FIRST NOTICED THIS THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT BECAUSE I COULD NOT STOP. MY NISSAN TITAN IS A 2006 XE. 74500 MILES. I HAVE ONLY TOWED A TRAILER WITH THE TRUCK A HAND FULL OF TIMES AND NEVER EXCEEDED 5000 LBS OF TRAILER WEIGHT WHICH INCLUDES THE WEIGHT OF THE TRAILER. THERE IS ALSO A TOW PACKAGE INSTALLED IN THE TRUCK. I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING IN TO PARTS AND PRICES OF REPAIRING THIS LEAK. IF THIS COULD CAUSE BRAKES TO FAIL HOW COME THIS ISN'T A RECALL? AND IF IT DOES BECOME A RECALL WILL THEY ALSO COVER ANY PAINT DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR FROM THE OILS ON THE TAIL GATE? *TR
2006 NISSAN TITAN SE KING CAB 4X4 OFFROAD BIGTOW. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON MY TITAN CRACKED AND 3 SEPARATE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WOULDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE MANAGERS WOULD CLAIM THAT THEY DID NOT OR COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THESE PARTS ARE COVERED UNDER THE 8 YR/80,000 MILE LONG-TERM EMISSION SYSTEM DEFECTS WARRANTY AND MY TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 69,XXX MILES. THE 3 VISITS TO THE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS SPAN FROM WHEN I GOT THE TRUCK IN 2009 TO 2011. ON MY OWN DIME, I HAD A SHOP REPLACE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND THEY CONFIRMED BOTH WERE CRACKED. I HAVE THEM SITTING IN MY GARAGE FOR FURTHER PROOF. I'M CONSIDERING MAKING A CLAIM W/ NISSAN HQ BUT I KNOW IT'LL BE IN VAIN. THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS OF CRACKED MANIFOLDS ONLINE. MAYBE THIS WARRANTS A RECALL OR NISSAN CAN PRESS THEIR DEALERS TO HANDLE THIS IN A MORE PROFESSIONAL MANNER. *TR
2006 NISSAN TITAN SE KING CAB 4X4 OFFROAD BIGTOW. THE DRIVER'S SIDE LEAF SPRING SHACKLE UNRAVELED AT THE WELD AND THE LEAF SPRING SHOT THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE BED AND CREATED A BIG HOLE. I CONTACTED NISSAN HQ TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK PRE-OWNED W/ 44,XXX MILES. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES ONLINE AND ON THE NHTSA SITE. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE WEAK SHACKLES FOR MODEL YEAR TITANS 2004-2007 BECAUSE THEY REDESIGNED AND STRENGTHENED THE SHACKLE IN 2008 AND UP MODELS. I HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACE THE SHACKLES W/ 2008+ TITAN SHACKLES AND PLUG/WELD THE HOLE. *TR
NISSAN TITAN (36K MILES), 2006 MODEL. THE ABS CONTROL MODULE WENT BAD CAUSING THE CAR SPEEDOMETER TO QUIT WORKING AS WELL AS THE CARS TRANSMISSION TO JUMP INTO AND OUT OF GEAR WHILE ON THE ROAD. CAUSED THE CAR TO SLOW DRAMATICALLY ON THE INTERSTATE AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO NISSAN AT RIVERGATE IN TN (THINKING THIS WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE CURRENT RECALL TIED TO THE EMC, ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE ABS CONTROL MODULE AND IT WOULD COST $1,500 TO REPAIR, WHERE THE EMC COSTS $2 TO REPAIR. MAKES ME WONDER IF NISSAN CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED THEIR CURRENT ISSUE WITH THE CARS ELECTRONIC CONTROLS, OR MAYBE THAT THEY'VE CHOSEN TO TIE THE RECALL TO A CHEAP COMPONENT AND ALLOW THE DEALER TO THEN JIG THE CONSUMER FOR THE HIGHER PRICED COMPONENT. IN EITHER CASE, I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK, THE REAR PINION SEAL WAS REPLACED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS FAILED AGAIN AT 72250 MILES. I AM HEARING SOME PLAY IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, CAUSED BY LACK OF OIL FROM THE LEAKING SEAL. IT TOOK AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FLUID TO REFILL THE DIFFERENTIAL, TELLING ME IT HAD BEEN LEAKING FOR A LONG TIME, THE SECOND TIME. FAILURE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL WOULD MEAN A ROADSIDE BREAKDOWN OR A VEHICLE CRASH. MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,111.
I NOTICED THAT MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN WITH 54,000 MILES WAS LEAKING OIL FROM THE RIGHT REAR AXLE THE OTHER DAY. I CALLED MY NISSAN DEALER AND HE TOLD ME MY WARRANTY ENDED IN JANUARY AND THE REAR AXLE SEALS WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THE DEALERSHIP KNEW ALL ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAID 450 DOLLARS. THEY CALLED IT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THEY OFFERED EVEN TO SELL ME A NEW TITAN. I DECLINED. I HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED WITH A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR 300 DOLLARS. AFTER FIXING MY TITAN, I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2004-2008 NISSAN TITANS. I FOUND THAT EVEN AFTER YOU REPLACE THE REAR AXLE SEAL, THE PROBLEM OCCURS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. NISSAN SHOULD MAN UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PROBLEM. I EVEN FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED BY NISSAN ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. SO THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY LOCAL MECHANIC TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY THAT THE LEAKING OIL DIDN'T GET INTO THE BRAKE PADS. *TR

LEAKING MANIFOLD; THIS PART WAS RECALLED BY NISSAN BUT UPON COMPLETION OF FORM, I WAS INFORMED THEY CALCULATED THE MILEAGE TO BE BEYOND THEIR WARRANTY. THE LEFT SIDE MANIFOLD WAS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. NOW THE RIGHT MANIFOLD HAS CRACKED ALSO AND IS LEAKING EXHAUST FUMES. NISSAN IS AWARE THAT I HAVE THE LEFT SIDE MANIFOLD FOR THEIR INSPECTION AND THEIR LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, CONFIRMED THE RIGHT IS ALSO CRACKED. THIS IS A DANGER AND DEFINITE HAZARD DUE TO THE EXHAUST FUMES AND POSSIBLE FIRE YET NISSAN HAS DECLINED ANY ASSISTANCE IN REIMBURSEMENT OR ASSISTANCE IN REPLACING THE RIGHT SIDE MANIFOLD DUE TO THEIR CALCULATION THAT THE MILEAGE WAS BEYOND THEIR WARRANTY COVERAGE. I COULD NOT FIND RECORDS AS TO THE MILEAGE WHEN I REPLACE THE LEFT MANIFOLD. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME WHEN HE REPLACED THE LEFT SIDE MANIFOLD THAT HE WOULD EXPECT THAT THE RIGHT TO DO THE SAME.

I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT AND HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH IT UP UNTIL NOW. LONG STORY SHORT; I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLOSE TO WHERE I LIVE (STANLEY NISSAN) TO GET A RECALL DONE ON IT AS WELL AS HAVE IT LOOKED AT FOR MY ABS AND SLIP LIGHTS BEING ON CONSTANTLY AS WELL AS MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WHICH WAS ON BEFORE. A FEW DAYS BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT MY TRUCK STARTED DRIVING WEIRD AND DISENGAGING ITSELF OUT OF 4WD AND I WOULD LOSE CONTROL AT TIMES OR MY TRUCK WOULD STOP GOING FORWARD AND WOULD START TRYING TO GO SIDEWAYS, BUT THE RPM'S STILL WENT UP, BUT TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCEL FORWARD. IT ALSO STARTED MAKING A BANGING NOISE IN THE REAR, ALWAYS SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE. DROPPED IT OFF AT DEALERSHIP AND HEARD FROM THEM THE FOLLOWING DAY. SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT MY REAR BRAKE SHOES HAD BROKE AND SPUN AROUND IN THE BRAKE HOUSING AND DAMAGED MY BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, ROTORS AND THEN MADE IT INTO MY REAR AXLE HOUSING AND DAMAGED MY ENTIRE REAR HOUSING AND DIFFERENTIAL. I AM A MECHANIC MYSELF AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT PIECES FROM THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT INSIDE AN ENCLOSED REAR HOUSING ASSEMBLY. THEY TOLD ME I NEED MY ENTIRE REAR AXLE AND DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED ALONG WITH OTHER PIECES FOR THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY AND REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT ALL OF THIS WAS CAUSE BY BRAKE SHOES AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHICH I NEVER USE. THEY ARE QUOTING ME $4,200 FOR THE REPAIRS AND WON'T COVER ME UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I AM STILL UNDER 60,000 MILES AND I CAN'T BE COVERED BY MY PLATINUM PACKAGE EXTENDED WARRANTY AS WELL WHICH COVERS ME UP TO 100,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN ON NUMEROUS SITES WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THE FACT THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO WORK US ALL OVER AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP HONOR THE WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH THIS MANY REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS. *TR

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAVE CRACKED, CAUSING TOXIC EXHAUST FUMES TO LEAK INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE TO BE CAUSED BY FAULTY PARTS SUPPLIED BY NISSAN. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN DIED IN PARKING LOT ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 1ST, STARTED RIGHT UP. ON MONDAY, AUGUST 2ND, DIED IN BANK DRIVE THROUGH, TOOK ABOUT 8-10 MINUTES TO GET STARTED, THEN ONLY "CHUGGED". WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF DRIVE THROUGH LINE AND TO PARKING SPOT. TURNED ENGINE OFF FOR 20 MINUTES, STARTED UP AND WENT BACK TO WORK. AT 5:00 ON THAT DAY, WOULD NOT START. TRIED FOR 30 MINUTES. HUSBAND HAD FRIEND TOW IT HOME AND THEY CHECKED THE SPARK PLUGS AND A FEW THINGS WITH NO LUCK. ON AUGUST, 4TH, HUSBAND TOWED THE TRUCK TO THE CLAY COOLEY NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEIR TEST SHOWED IT TO BE THE IPDM SENSOR OUT. THIS PART WAS REPLACED AND TRUCK WAS FIXED. THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR WAS $306.16. I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THAT THIS SENSOR HAS BEEN RECALLED ON TITANS PRODUCED FROM 2004 TO JUNE 2006. ACCORDING TO CLAY COOLEY NISSAN, MY TRUCK WAS PRODUCED IN APRIL 2006; ACCORDING TO NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS RECALL WAS EFFECTIVE FROM 2004 TO MARCH 2006. THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. THIS PART WAS RECALLED AND IT WENT OUT ON MY TRUCK. I PLAN TO KEEP FOLLOWING ON THIS ISSUE UNTIL I GET MY 306.16 REFUNDED. *TR
RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE. 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 TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK WHEN THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A POLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BEFORE THE FAILURE, SHE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SEEM TO ATTEMPT TO LUNGE FORWARD WHEN STOPPED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,700 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,848.
NOTICED A SMALL GRINDING NOISE UNDERNEATH MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN LE. A FRIEND TELLS TO CHECK THE BEARINGS. I BRING IT THE DEALER, DEALER TELLS ME I NEED TO REPLACE THE REAR BEARINGS AND SEALS - $900.00. THEY ALSO TELL ME MY BRAKES AND EMERGENCY BRAKES SHOES ARE SHOT DUE TO BEARING FLUID LEAKING ALL OVER THEM, THEY WANTED $1600.00. REPLACED ALL THE BRAKES MYSELF, WHICH WERE TOTALLY FINE....I THEN NOTICE THE SAME GRINDING NOISE PLUS ANOTHER UNDER MY DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR. BRING IT BACK TO DEALER ASKING THEM WHY. I COME TO FIND OUT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL IS SHOT ALONG WITH THE TRANSFER CASE. THIS TRUCK HAS HIGHWAY MILES, ONLY DRIVEN IN 4X4 FOR SNOW. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? I THEN PROCEED TO LOOK FOR ANSWERS ON THE INTERNET AND FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. NISSAN HAS ACTUALLY CHANGED THE PART NUMBERS FOR THE AXLE DUE TO THE ISSUES THAT ARE RELATED. THE NEW REPAIRS WILL COST BETWEEN $3600-$4000 WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD AT THE MOMENT. DRIVE SAFE TITAN OWNERS... *TR
THE TRUCK STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD ONCE. IT ALSO STALLED AT START UP WHEN I GOT HOME AND 2 MORE TIMES THE FOLLOWING DAY AND AT THE DEALERSHIP DURING THE DROP. THE DEALER REPLACED IPDM BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY 1 MONTH PASSED THE WARRANTY BUT UNDER 36,000 WARRANTY. *TR
I OWN A CREW CAB LE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 2 MONTHS AFTER IPDM WAS REPLACED. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR AND RECHECK. THE PART IS $273.38 AND IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THE TRUCK HAD 30,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF DIAGNOSTIC. I PAID OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE PART. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAD WARPED FRONT ROTORS FROM DAY OF PURCHASE. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK FROM SIDE TO SIDE DURING TEST DRIVE AFTER APPLYING THE BAKE AT ABOUT 50 TO 60 MILES PER. I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO NISSAN DEALER TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AND ROTORS UNDER WARRANTY THE TRUCK HAD 632 MILES AT THE TIME. THAT WAS IN 2006. JUST RECENTLY I HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED AGAIN THE PADS WERE NOT WORN OUT COMPLETELY BUT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AT 33,673 MILES. I PAID ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED FOR $600 THAT SEEM TO BE THE MINIMUM CHARGE. *TR
CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS (BOTH SIDES) ON 2006 NISSAN TITAN. NORMAL DRIVING. APPARENTLY, THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF POWER AND FUMES ESCAPING FROM EXHAUST COULD ENTER THE CABIN AND CAUSE HEADACHE, NAUSEA AND OTHER EFFECTS. DEALER OFFERS 80K WARRANTY. TRUCK AS 75K. DEALER WILL REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
IPDM COMPONENT FAILED. CAUSED 2006 NISSAN TITAN TO DIE 6 TIMES IN A 2 MILE JOURNEY. LOST POWER STEERING, COULD NOT SAFELY COMPLETE A TURN, HAD TO DRIVE INTO A WOODED ROADSIDE TO AVOID HITTING AN ON-COMING CAR. ONCE AT A REPAIR STATION, THEY COULD NOT GET VEHICLE TO START AND I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. COULD HAVE COST ME MORE... IF THE ENGINE WERE OVER CRANKED IT COULD DAMAGE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP. SCARY EXPERIENCE TO HAVE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR
BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS SO BAD THE GEAR OIL HAS SLUNG ALL OVER THE WHEEL AND THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES ARE DRIPPING WET. *TR
I FELT A SLIGHT GIVE IN THE GAS. THE GAS PEDAL DEPRESSED DOWN TO THE FLOOR OF MY TRUCK AND I LOST POWER. I THEN LOST ALL POWER STEERING CAPABILITIES. WHILE TRYING TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE EMERGENCY 101SOUTH FREEWAY SHOULDER. I CRASHED INTO THE MEDIAN. COMPLETELY RIPPING OFF THE FRONT BUMPER AND WHEEL WELL COVER. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT I HAD A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR. *TR
SHORTLY AFTER A RAINSTORM THIS VEHICLE (NISSAN TITAN 2006) WAS BEING DRIVEN LATE AT NIGHT ON AN UNPAVED COUNTRY ROAD IN THE VICINITY OF WEBSTER PARISH, LA. AS THE ROAD WAS WET AND THE VISIBILITY WAS VERY LIMITED IT WAS BEING DRIVEN NO FASTER THAN ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THEY RAN INTO A RUT IN THE ROAD WITH THE LEFT FRONT TIRE AND THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. WHEN THE VEHICLE RAN INTO THE RUT IN THE ROAD IT TILTED VERY SLIGHTLY AND THEN RIGHTED ITSELF. THERE WAS NO EXTERIOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PEOPLE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN DRIVEN TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONTACTED NISSAN WHO SAID THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED PROPERLY AND THEY WOULD NOT PAY ANY PART OF REPLACING THEM OR THE SEAT BELTS. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE ALSO SAID THAT THE VEHICLES' COMPUTER SENT OUT AN 'ERROR CODE' THAT THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED OVER. ALSO, WHEN WE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH ANOTHER NISSAN TRAINED AND CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN, WE WERE TOLD THAT 7 OUT OF 10 TITANS HAVE ISSUES WITH THEIR COMPUTERS AND THAT THE SENSOR UNDER THE VEHICLE IS PRONE TO COME LOOSE. IT DOESN'T SEEM LOGICAL THAT A MINOR INCIDENT LIKE THIS COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SEAT BELTS UNLESS THE SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE WAS DEFECTIVE. IT COST MORE THAN $5,000 TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS AND THE SEAT BELTS AND NISSAN WOULD NOT PAY ANY OF THIS AMOUNT. *TR
I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE HIT, OR RUN OVER SOMETHING, BUT SAW NOTHING IN OR ALONG THE ROAD. I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING AT FIRST, AND THEN MY WIFE NOTICED A RAISED AREA OF THE TRUCK BED ON THE DRIVER SIDE NEAR THE TAILGATE. WE LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND SAW THAT THE SPRING SHACKLE WAS BROKEN, AND THE END OF THE SPRING WAS LODGED UP AGAINST THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BED. I TOW A 6500LB. CAMPER WITH THIS TRUCK, BUT WAS NOT IN TOW AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. *TR
I TOOK MY TITAN IN TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING. ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE READ AND BEEN TOLD THIS IS VERY COMMON TO THE TITANS AND CAN RUIN YOUR BRAKES AS WELL. SOME PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED HAVING TO REPLACE THEM 2 OR 3 TIMES. NISSAN NOW RECOMMENDS CHANGING OUT THE ENTIRE AXLE AT YOUR EXPENSE UNLESS IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM IS MINE HAVE PROBABLY BEEN LEAKING SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT IS NOW TOO LATE BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND YOU CAN'T TELL THAT THEY ARE LEAKING UNTIL IT HAS BEEN LEAKING LONG ENOUGH TO GET GEAR OIL TO A VISIBLE SPOT. I HAVEN'T HAD IT FIXED YET AS I AM WEIGHING OUT THE BEST OPTION FOR ME AS FAR AS REPLACING THE SEALS OR THE WHOLE AXLE ASSEMBLY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE POSSIBLE RAMIFICATIONS TO HE BRAKE SYSTEM. *TR
THE PIN GOING INTO THE REAR AXLE OR DIFFERENTIAL HAD SNAPPED IN HALF. *TR
RIGHT REAR BRAKE FULL OF OIL FROM DEFECTIVE AXEL SEAL. OIL HAS LEAKED OUT OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE REAR AXLE AND ON TO THE DISK BRAKES CAUSING THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL TO LOCK UP WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. MY FAMILY WAS FORCED TO STOP DRIVING THE TRUCK AS IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND WOULD COST $1200 TO REPAIR. *TR
REAR AXLES LEAKING FLUID ON THE 2006 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB. DEALER STATES THAT AXLE SEALS HAVE FAILED. DEALER ALSO SUGGESTS NEW AXLES TO BE INSTALLED RATHER THAN REPLACING SEALS. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN USED TO TOW A LOAD NOR WAS IT USED OFFROAD. NO AFTERMARKET PARTS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. *TR
THE HUB SEALS ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAVE FAILED.. AND ARE LEAKING FLUID. IN MY ONLINE RESEARCH IT APPEARS TO BE A ISSUE THAT RETURNS DUE TO A AXLE VENTILATION ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED A RESOLUTION OR REPLY AS THE DEALER SAYS THE ENTIRE AXLE NOW REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. TITANTALK.COM HAS SEVERAL REPORTS FROM OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. MY TRUCK PRESENTLY HAS 70900 MILES ON IT AND WAS PURCHASED IN AUGUST OF 2008 WITH 58000. THE DRIVER USE IS UNDER 6K MILES PER YEAR SO THIS APPEARS TO BE GREATER CONCERN. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WAS DISPLAYING INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS AND CAUSED HIM TO RUN OUT OF FUEL. THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE ALERTING HIM TO THE LOW FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS FRACTURED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE DEALER AGREED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V459000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE THE RECALL COVERED THE DRIVER SIDE HARNESS BUT NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHICH WAS SLOWLY DETERIORATING. THE DEALER WOULD NOT AGREE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE HARNESS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,000.
06 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 REAR END FAILURE. THERE WAS A CLICKING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE REAR ON MY WAY HOME FROM A VACATION, A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD I STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT. WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE THERE WAS A POP AND I LOST ALL POWER TO THE REAR END. MY AXLE SOMEHOW SNAPPED ALMOST DISLODGING IT FROM THE VEHICLE AND NOW THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME I NEED TO PAY FOR AN ENTIRE NEW REAR END. THIS TRUCK WAS NEVER ABUSED AND SAW MILD OFFROAD USAGE. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS I COULD HAVE LOST MY REAR WHEEL WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY INCIDENT OF NISSAN TITAN OWNERS THAT I HAVE HEARD. I BELIEVE IT IS BECOMING A SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH HE APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO PULSATE VERY VIOLENTLY PRIOR TO DEPRESSING TO THE FLOOR. A BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD SO THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND SHUT IT OFF. UPON RESTARTING IT, THE BRAKE PEDAL OPERATED AS NORMAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE BUT ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE BRAKING SYSTEM RESETS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 64,700. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB 4X4. LAST THURSDAY I HEARD A LOUD BANG IN THE BACK END OF MY TRUCK. I LOOKED AROUND AND DIDN'T REALLY NOTICE ANYTHING. FRIDAY I HEARD MORE NOISE FROM THE BACK END AND MADE AND APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. SATURDAY WAS MORE NOISE, BUT GETTING MUCH WORSE. SUNDAY I WENT TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE BED OF MY TRUCK AND SAW A HOLE ON THE BACK PASSENGERS SIDE CORNER WITH A PART COMING THROUGH THE BED. I THEN GOT UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK TO FIND THAT THE LEAF SPRING HAD BROKEN IN HALF AND FIRED A PIECE OF MY SUSPENSION THROUGH THE BED OF MY TRUCK. I BROUGHT IT TO BE FIXED TODAY AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE HAD SEEN A LOT OF THESE WITH A BAD WELD AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN BECAUSE HE HEARD THEY WERE POSSIBLY GOING TO RECALL THEM FOR LEAF SPRING. I CHECKED ONLINE AND COULDN'T FIND A RECALL FOR A BAD WELD ON A LEAF SPRING, BUT I DID FIND THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING SO THAT IS WHY I AM FILING A COMPLAINT. HOPEFULLY NISSAN DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THEM LIKE TOYOTA IS DOING BECAUSE THEY ARE TAKING CARE OF THEIR FAULTY LEAF SPRINGS. *TR

WHILE TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW AND WHY, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN . WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL. THIS COULD BE AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR TO ANY OWNER. NISSAN NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED MY REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING FOR A WHILE AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE. I HAVE NOW RECENTLY NOTICED WHEN I USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE AND REAR BRAKES THEY HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE LEAKING FLUID. I WAS WONDERING IF THIS IS AN ISSUE THEY SHOULD ADDRESS, OR IS IT JUST REGULAR MAINTENANCE. I HAVE BEEN READING FORUM COMPLAINTS ABOUT PEOPLE WITH THE SAME TRUCK AND THEY HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM LOW IN MILE. MY TRUCK IS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN SE CREW CAB 4WD. I HAVE NOTICED THE SEALS LEAKING SINCE ABOUT 40K MILES AND NOW HAVE AROUND 56K. *TR
I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 CREW CAB SINCE DEC 2006 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHILE BRAKING. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER IN 2008 MILES 10, 850 THEY TURNED THE ROTORS AND APPLIED GREASE. TOOK TRUCK BACK TO DEALER ON JULY 9TH 2010 AND THEY AGAIN SAID ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 27,980 MILES. THE SERVICE MAN SAID THE ROTORS WERE NO LONGER COVERED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HAVE ROTORS TURNED. I WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE GOOD FOR 30,000 MILES. I THINK IT'S STRANGE THAT THE ROTORS NEED TO BE TURNED EVERY 10,000 TO 15,000 MILES. SERVICE MAN ACTED LIKE THIS WAS A COMMAND THING AND THAT IT WAS THE DRIVERS FAULT NOT THE COMPANY'S. I ASKED ABOUT RECALLS AT THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT ME I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE DEALER SINCE. NISSAN NEEDS TO SEE THIS AS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND MAKE A RECALL. *TR
I PLACED MY TRUCK ON A LIFT TO INSPECT THE UNDERBODY AND CHANGE MY OIL. DURING THE PROCESS, I SAW LIQUID STREAKS DOWN THE INSIDE OF MY LEFT REAR WHEEL HUB AND ROTOR. I HAD DETERMINED THE REAR AXLE SEAL WAS THE LEAKING CULPRIT, ENABLING AXLE FLUID TO DRAIN ONTO THE WHEEL HUB AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY. ALTHOUGH BRAKE PERFORMANCE WAS NOTICEABLY DEGRADED, THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BECOME FAR WORSE. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SEAL ASSEMBLY, BUT I AM NOT CONFIDENT THIS WILL CORRECT THE ISSUE. NUMEROUS INCIDENTS SIMILAR TO THIS NATURE HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON NISSAN TITAN AUTO CLUBS, SUCH AS WWW.TITANTALK.COM/FORUMS. THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY HAD A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (WITH A THIRD REVISION DATE OVER 3 YEARS BEING OUT IN SERVICE) - THIS TELLS ME THAT NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AXLE, BUT WILL NOT RECALL THE VEHICLES AND FIX THEM PROPERLY. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT DISPLAY THE PROPER FUEL LEVEL IMMEDIATELY AFTER GASOLINE WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY EVEN WHEN GASOLINE WASN'T ADDED TO THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V074000 BUT HAD NOT TAKEN TO THE VEHICLE IN TO BE SERVICED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

TIRE SIDEWALL SEPARATION. ON 4/25/2009, I PURCHASED 4 NEW TOYO OPEN COUNTRY H/T, P265/70R18 TRUCK TIRES FOR MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCK. ON SUNDAY, 5/3/2010, I NOTICED THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAD A SMALL CHUNK OF THE BLACK OUTSIDE SIDEWALL MISSING. UPON INSPECTION, I COULD NOT FIND WHERE ANY TYPE OF DEBRIS HAD HIT THE TIRE, NOR COULD I FIND WHERE ANY OF THE OTHER TIRES HAD BEEN DAMAGED. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM INSPECT THE DAMAGE. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THE TOTAL VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS 30,586. AS OF THIS DATE, THE MILEAGE IS 40,845. A TOTAL OF 10,259 MILES HAVE BEEN DRIVEN SINCE THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED. AS THE TIRES CAME WITH A 60K MILE DAMAGE WARRANTY, I WAS EXPECTING TO HAVE THE TIRE REPLACED AND TO PAY ANY MILEAGE ADJUSTMENT FEE. THE DEALER INSTEAD INFORMED ME THAT, BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF DAMAGE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT TOYO AND OBTAIN THEIR APPROVAL TO REPLACE THE TIRE. I WAS TOLD UNTIL TOYO CONTACTED THEM, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, BUT THAT IT WAS SAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER REGULARLY, AND HAVE TOLD THAT TOYO HAS YET TO RESPOND. AFTER CHECKING THE NTSB.GOV WEBSITE, THE ONLY RECALL FOR A TIRE CLOSE TO THE ONE I HAVE MENTIONED IS A TOYO OPEN COUNTRY A/T MODEL. *TR

THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE ALSO NOT AVAILABLE.
WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2006 NISSAN TITAN, WHEN SHE WAS ARRIVING TO AN INTERSECTION AND CAME TO A STOP THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF WITHOUT A WARNING. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY TYPE OF WARNING. MY CONCERN IS FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, WE HAVE A FOUR MONTH OLD BABY THAT WE TRANSPORT ON THAT VEHICLE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE IPDM INOP HAS NO POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP.BUT, I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND I'M NOT THE FIRST INDIVIDUAL WITH THIS PROBLEM; ON ONE INCIDENT A TRUCK, SAME MODEL DIFFERENT YEAR, SHUT OFF ON THE FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED WERE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. NISSAN RIGHT NOW HAS A RECALL WITH THEIR GAS GAUGE, BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK WAS NOT RELATED WITH THE COMPONENT ON RECALL. I QUESTIONED THAT FACT THAT THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE OR ANY TYPE OF WARNING IF THE TRUCKS COMPONENT HAS POWER AND IS ATTACHED TO THE TRUCKS COMPUTER; I COULDN'T GET AN EXPLANATION FROM THE ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER AT THE NISSAN DEALER. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FUEL INDICATOR DISPLAYED ONE QUARTER TANK OF GASOLINE; HOWEVER; THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS MANUALLY PUSHED TO A NEARBY SERVICE STATION WHERE HE WAS ABLE TO ADD GASOLINE AND CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THAT HE PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V074000, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER: STORAGE: FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM; YET, HE HAD NOT HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 70,000.
I OWN A 2006 NISSAN TITAN WHICH HAS HAD TWO REAR AXLE SEALS LEAK. BOTH WERE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY BY MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN TITANS AND POSES A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE LEAKS ALLOW REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL TO LEAK ON THE REAR BRAKES. *TR
THE TRANSMISSION CANNOT BE DOWNSHIFTED. I WAS TOWING A LARGE BOAT AND LIMITED TO 10MPH SPEED AND WAS UNABLE TO DOWNSHIFT THE ENGINE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAS SENDING UNIT WHICH WAS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER: STORAGE: FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,050. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,558.
TRUCK STALLS WITH NO WARNING ABOUT ONCE A DAY. THE LATEST INCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. NISSAN REPLACED THE IPDM AT A COST OF $600 . *TR
THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT LYNNES NISSAN IN STANHOPE, NJ. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT HAD FAILED AND THE THE 2006 NISSAN TITAN WHICH HAD ABOUT 36,600 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WAS OUT OF WARRENTY. I PAID LYNNES NISSAN $488.00 FOR THE REPAIR.
I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 TITAN CREW CAB SINCE 2008 AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE BRAKE SERVICE REQUESTS PERFORMED FOR "BRAKE JUDDER". PREVIOUS SOLUTION WAS TO TURN THE ROTORS BACK TO TRUE UNTIL ROTORS CAN NO LONGER BE TURNED AND NEW OEM ROTORS ARE ACQUIRED THAT WILL START THE WHOLE PROCESS OVER AGAIN. THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX FOR THE LARGER PROBLEM. BRAKE ROTOR SIZE AND MATERIAL SELECTED FOR THE 2006 NISSAN TITAN MODEL IS INADEQUATE TO PROVIDE ENOUGH SURFACE AREA AND VENTING FOR PROPER HEAT DISSIPATION TO PREVENT WARPAGE OF THE OEM BRAKE ROTORS. THIS BRAKE ROTOR TURNING SERVICE WAS PERFORMED 10,000 MILES AGO, 5,000 MILES AGO AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN NEED OF THE SAME SERVICE. A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES THAT IS DRIVEN LESS THAN 12,000 MILES PER YEAR SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD 3 BRAKE SERVICE ISSUES FOR THE SAME MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. MY PERSONAL SOLUTION (BECAUSE NISSAN HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DEFECT IN NEED OF A RECALL) IS TO UPGRADE THE OEM BRAKE HARDWARE WITH AFTERMARKET PERFORMANCE SLOTTED AND DIMPLED ROTORS AND CERAMIC BRAKE PADS TO PROVIDE FOR ADEQUATE HEAT DISSIPATION AND PREVENT ROTOR WARPAGE.
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE LEAF SPRING SHACKLE COMPLETELY BROKE CAUSING THE SPRING TO GO THROUGH THE BED OF THE TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT THERE WERE FUSES MISSING IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER; HOWEVER, NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,100 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000.
I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP THAT HAS HAD THE REAR AXLE SEALS REPLACED TWO TIMES AND HAD IT IN FOR A THIRD TIME AND WAS TOLD IT WAS RESIDUAL OIL FROM THE PREVIOUS REPAIR AND NSENT ON MY AWY WEWLL IT WAS LEAKING AGAIN AND NOW HAS TO GO BACK FOR A FOURTH TIME IN ABOUT 3000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 28000 MILES ON IT. THIS LEAK HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GET GEAR OIL ALL OVER THE REAR DISC BRAKES CAUSING POOR BRAKING, ALSO IF THE REAR END SIEZED UP FROM LACK OF OIL IT COULD CAUSE YOU TO GO OUT OF CONTROL.
2006 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXEL SEALS LEAK GEAR OIL INTO REAR BRAKE SYSTEM. *TR
THE ENGINE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN AFTER LIFTING THE ACCELERATOR FOR ONE TO FIVE SECONDS. THIS OCCURS REGULARLY AND HAS CAUSED TWO VEHICLE TO OBJECT ACCIDENTS.

2006 NISSAN TITAN. NORMAL DRIVING, THE REAR WHEEL SEAL ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS LEAKING FLUID AGAIN AT 122K MILES. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME THAT IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR
I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN IN JULY 08. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN THE ENGINE ROARED THE TRUCK QUICKLY MOVED FORWARD AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED THE TRUCK WAS A CEMENT SPINDLE FENCE. I DESTROYED 10 FEET OF FENCE AND MY INSURANCE HAD TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO NISSAN AND THEY CHECKED IT, BUT THEY STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY THEN PERFORMED THE 30000 MILE MAINTENANCE FOR APPROX $600. THE NISSAN SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT I MUST HAVE PUSHED THE GAS AND THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME TO CAUSE THE ACCIDENT. I THEN TOOK THE TRUCK TO AN OPEN FIELD AND PUSHED THE BRAKE AND THE GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME AND THE TIRES JUST SPUN AND THE TRUCK DID NOT MOVE. I TRIED THE SAME THING IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT, THE TIRES SPUN AND THE TRUCK DID NOT MOVE. I ENDED UP GETTING RID OF THE TRUCK BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID IF THE TRUCK SPED FORWARD ON ITS OWN AGAIN AND I COULD NOT STOP IT I MIGHT GET HURT OR KILLED. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO ROAR AND CAUSE THE TRUCK TO SPEED FORWARD. I FILED A POLICE/ACCIDENT REPORT WITH THE LOCAL POLICE. *TR
THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AROUND A TURN WITH NO LOAD IN THE BED. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING SHACKLE BROKE AT THE WELD. CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST LOST. *TR
MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES TO HAVE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED. THE FIRST TIME THE GAUGE WAS STUCK ON QUARTER OF A TANK OF FUEL WHEN I RAN OUT AND STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING A BUSINESS LUNCH. EACH TIME AFTER WAS DIFFERENT POINTS ON THE GAUGE, BUT ALWAYS THE SAME PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY CLAIM THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED WITH THE UNIT, BUT MY TRUCK AND I DISAGREE. *TR
I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN AND JUST BEFORE 60,000 MILES THE REAR END FAILED. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 65MPH. THE REAR STARTED TO MAKE NOISE SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO TAKE A LOOK. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK THERE WAS DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ALL OVER THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND UNDER. SO I CALLED A TOW TRUCK. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED I PULL MY TRUCK UP TO THE FLAT BED, WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WENT TO PULL MY NISSAN UP ON THE FLAT BED THE REAR END WAS LOCKED UP, I HAD IT IN NEUTRAL AT THE TIME. I STARTED MY TRUCK AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE, I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO NOTICE MY DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN OFF AND WAS ON THE GROUND. THIS WAS VERY UPSETTING, I JUST KEPT THINKING WHAT IF I HAD THE MUSIC ON OR SOMETHING AND DIDN'T HEAR THE NOISE WHEN I DID. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. A LOCKED UP REAR END OR A DRIVE SHAFT FALLING OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THERE ARE QUITE A BIT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I LOVE MY TRUCK AND HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT, DID ALL MY REQUIRED SERVICES. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I STILL FELL UNDER THE 60,000MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, I HAD ABOUT 56K AT THE TIME, AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR END ASSEMBLY. I WOULD ASSUME THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE FOUND, AND SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

11/16/09 CAR (2006 TITAN - CREW CAB) DIED WHILE TURNING OUT OF A STREET OF ON-COMING TRAFFIC. COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY A CAR BUT WASN'T. CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED AFTER A FEW STARTS. 11/17/09 CAR DID NOT START AT ALL; CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT 11/17/09 NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUSPECTED A PROBLEM WITH THE IPDM = INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTOR MODULE- THE PART THAT PROVIDES POWER FOR THE WHOLE VEHICLE TO RUN. SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS INDICATED THAT THE PART IS HARD TO COME BY BECAUSE OF THE BACKLOG IN MANUFACTURING THE PART. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS, IT WAS THE IPDM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WILL TAKE ABOUT 3 WEEKS TO ORDER. AFTER TALKING TO SERVICE REP, THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY HAD SEVERAL CARS THAT WERE WAITING FOR THE PART FOR THEIR CAR. 11/25/09: PART RECEIVED AND CAR WILL BE FIXED BY END OF TODAY AND READY FOR PICK UP. COST OF PART AND LABOR SHOULD NOT BE AT CONSUMER COST BUT AT THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE OF THE INCONVENIENCE THAT THIS HAS CAUSED. *TR
I HAVE A NISSAN TITAN 2006 AND HAD TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP 2 TIMES AND NOW I HAVE REAR AXLE LEAKING AND I NOW HAVE 2 CRACKED MANIFOLDS WHICH DEALER TOLD ME IS VERY COMMON ALSO I NEED TO REPLACE THE FLOW FOR HEATING AND COOLING. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THE EXHAUST LEAKING WHICH COULD ONLY BE DONE BY GETTING THE TRUCK VERY HOT WHICH IF I DID I WOULD OF HAD TO DO HEAD GASKETS. WHICH ARE OK. ALSO I HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR IT HAD 2 CRACKS IN WHERE IT IS BOLTED THEY GIVE AND BECAME WEAK. I DON'T ABUSE MY TRUCK I LOVE IT I HAVE NEVER GOT IT HOT I MAINTAIN IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. ALOT OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ARE THE SAME A MINE WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET THIS RESOLVED. CALL ME WE NEED TO BAND TOGETHER AND FIX THIS. *TR

THE IPDM RELAY IN MY TRUCK IS MESSED UP, IT BEGAN WITH HAVING A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT CAUSED MY TRUCK TO BASICALLY NOT BE ABLE TO GAIN ANY SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS THE IPDM ISSUE AND THEY WOULD TRY TO FIX IT. OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THEIR TRUCKS SHUT COMPLETELY OFF WHILE RUNNING DOWN THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE IPDM, NISSAN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE HAS NO PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE, AND WILL NOT HELP US OUT. *TR

THERE WAS NOT A CRASH, BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE LED TO ONE. THE REAR AXLE SEALS LEAK ON ALMOST ALL NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCKS. I'VE HAD MINE REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 75,000 MILES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, OIL FROM THE AXLE COVERS THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS, AFFECTING BRAKING ABILITY. *TR
2006 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKED AND NEED REPLACEMENT AFTER 60K MILE. I KNOW OF 4 OTHER TITIAN OWNERS THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BASED ON HOW WIDESPREAD THE AXLE SEAL LEAK IS. *TR
ROUTINE INSPECTION OF REAR AXLE REVEALED AXLE SEAL LEAK ON PASSENGER SIDE. LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 53675 MILES NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL. NISSAN REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WEOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE.
I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN WITH 31,000 MILES ON IT. THE REAR BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING SNAPPED AT THE BEND AND SENT THE ENTIRE LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY THROUGH THE FLOOR OF MY PICKUP BED. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND WILL BE DROPPING THE TRUCK OFF TOMORROW. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. IT SEEMS THAT THE ORIGINAL SHACKLE WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH FOR NORMAL DRIVING. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL REPLACE THE SHACKLE AND TRUCK BED. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS AMERICAN PACIFIC INDUSTRY TIRES, SIZE P265/70/R18 ON A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL TIRES EXCEPT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE ARE OUT OF ROUND. AS A CONSEQUENCE THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVEN IS UNSTABLE. INSTABILITY WHEN DRIVING INCREASES THE RISK FOR VEHICLE CRASH. HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH ASSISTANCE. AS OF CURRENT DATE THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED. HE STILL HAS POSSESSION OF THE TIRES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 500.

I HAVE OWNED A 2006 NISSAN TITAN SINCE MARCH 17, 2006 AND HAVE HAD A SEVERE REAR AXLE LEAK TWO TIMES IN LESS THAN 32,000 MILES. THE FIRST LEAK WAS DUE TO A FAULTY LEFT SIDE AXLE SEAL AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE LATEST LEAK, WHICH WAS COMMUNICATING DIFFERENTIAL OIL OVER THE ENTIRE UNDERBELLY OF THE TRUCK INCLUDING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND REAR BRAKE ROTORS WAS DETERMINED TO BE A FAULTY PINION SEAL WHICH WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL BE A RECURRING ISSUE THAT MAY HAVE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE OR UNSAFE VEHICLE OPERATION DUE TO OIL REACHING THE BRAKE ROTORS AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. *TR
I NOTICED OIL LEAKING FROM THE TRANSFER CASE. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO SANTA MONICA NISSAN FOR INSPECTION. DEALERSHIP VERIFIED THE TRANSFER CASE, LEFT AND RIGHT REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN AND BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR DRIVE AXLES LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. I HAD THE FIRST PROBLEM HAPPEN AROUND NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. MY RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE AXLE WAS LEAKING SO I REPLACED THE SEAL, SPACER, AND BEARING ON THAT ONE SIDE ONLY. NOW, MY LEFT SIDE AXLE STARTED TO LEAK AROUND APRIL. I STARTED TO NOTICE WHEN MY REAR BRAKES STARTED SMOKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE PARKED SINCE THEN AND IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE SEAL ON IT. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE. I NOTICED A DRIVER-SIDE REAR SEAL LEAK YESTERDAY (7/29/2009). REAR SEAL IS LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID OVER REAR BRAKES CAUSING HAZARD OF A BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB XE 2X4 WITH APPROXIMATELY 25000 MI. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2/2007 FROM DEALER. VEHICLE HAS NEVER TOWED OR BEEN OFF-ROAD. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE WITH NO ABUSE HAVING A MECHANICAL FAILURE THAT COULD AFFECT A SAFETY FEATURE SUCH AS THE BRAKES. *TR
BOUGHT 2006 NISSAN TITAN IN NOVEMBER 2006. IMMEDIATELY HAD VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. DEALER REFUSED TO CHANGE THE ROTORS. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES. BY 15000 MILES, VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING WAS APPLIED. I HAD TO CHANGE THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS. AT 27000 MILES, THE SAME HAS OCCURRED. AGAIN, DEALER WOULD NOT CHANGED THE ROTORS. THEY TOLD ME HAD I CAME IN EARLIER, THEY WOULD HAVE. THIS IS THE 3RD SET OF FRONT ROTORS. VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY, AND SEEMS OUT OF CONTROL WHEN BRAKING IN TIGHT TURNS, SUCH AS ON/OFF RAMPS OF HIGHWAYS. *TR
FAULTY REAR AXLE SEALS ON A 2006 NISSAN TITAN COULD CAUSE REAR END FAILURE AT SPEED OR LACK OF BRAKING ABILITY OF THE REAR BRAKES. *TR
NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCK- 5 SPOKE WHEEL SPOKE CRACKED. AS THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE CRACK DID WORSEN AND CAUSED INCREASED VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE WHEEL FOR IMPACT DAMAGE, NON WAS OBSERVED. THE 18IN ALLOY WHEEL WAS REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP. NO OTHER WHEEL COMPONENTS, SPOKES HAD ANY DAMAGE. THIS IS A MECHANIC BREAKDOWN OF A TIRE-WHEEL COMPONENT WHICH WILL CAUSE FATALITIES. *TR
I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN 4WD. LAST YEAR, AFTER A LONG TRIP, I TOOK IT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE, AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE REAR AXEL WAS LEAKING. THIS WAS IN JULY OF 2008, AND THE VEHICLE HAD 48,813 MILES ON IT. I GOT IT FIXED. THEN 11 MONTHS LATER, AGAIN AFTER A LONG TRIP, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS WAS IN JUNE OF 2009, AND THE VEHICLE HAD 63,914 MILES ON IT. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, AND APPARENTLY IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENING TO A LARGE NUMBER OF NISSAN TITAN OWNERS. SOME ARE REPORTING THAT THE OIL IS LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKES, CAUSING THEM TO FAIL. I HAVE NOT NOTICED THIS YET, BUT EACH TIME I CAUGHT MY LEAK EARLY. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THE 2008 TITAN HAS A NEW REAR AXEL DESIGN THAT HAS ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY, NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY ADDRESSED THE ISSUE IN THE LATER MODELS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AND NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE EARLIER MODELS TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. *TR
2006 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING. SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON AMONG TITAN OWNERS. *TR
I HAVE TAKEN THIS AVENUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PHONE NUMBERS THEY GAVE ME ON MY RECALL NOTICE WENT NO WHERE. IT SEEMED THE 2 NUMBERS I DID CALL WERE NO HELP SO I AM RESORTING TO THE INTERNET PROCESS THEY OFFERED. IN MY NOTIFICATION IT STATES THAT THE NISSAN TITAN/ARMADA'S - 2005-2006 MODELS - THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER FAN MOTOR HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS, THAT INADEQUATE WATER DRAINAGE ALLOWS MOISTURE TO BUILD-UP LEADING TO INCREASED TEMPERATURES IN THE MOTOR WHICH IN TURN COULD CAUSE WIRING TO MELT THE INSULATION AND OTHER PLASTIC COMPONENTS AND ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A FIRE. NOW THERE SOLUTION IS TO INSTALL A SPECIAL PROTECTOR KIT TO ELIMINATE A POTENTIAL FIRE TO OCCUR. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT IF INDEED THESE HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPEC'S THEN THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED NOT MODIFIED. I WOULD HOPE THAT THEY WOULD STAND UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO THE RIGHT THING, AFTER ALL WE PAID A GOOD SUM OF MONEY FOR THESE VEHICLES AND EXPECT THESE ITEMS WHEN THEY ARRIVE TO BE HANDLED IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER, NOT BY SOME RINKY-DINKY PART INSTALLED TO GET THEM OUT OF THIS PROBLEM THAT HAS RISEN. ALL I ASK IS THAT THIS BE LOOKED INTO, I'M NOT SAYING THE PART THEY WISH AND HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED FROM MY INFORMATION ON VEHICLES ALREADY WOULDN'T SUFFICE BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT I PAID FOR. THANK-YOU *TR

I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME AND HAD THE SHACKLE REPLACED AND I ASKED IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND INQUIRED IF I SHOULD HAVE THE OTHER SIDE REPLACED THEY SAID NO IT WASN'T COMMON THE SPRING SHACKLES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK, IF THEY HAD BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGHER SPEED I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE IS A BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE REAR LEAF SPRING. THE LEAF SPRING APPEARS TO BE FAULTY AND NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST BRACKET FAILED AND THE CONTACT BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND NO ASSISTANCE COULD BE PROVIDED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN REDESIGNED A NEW PART, WHICH THE CONTACT STATED WAS A MUCH BETTER DESIGN THAN THE ORIGINAL. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE BRACKET WAS ALREADY REPAIRED. CURRENTLY, THE PASSENGER SIDE BRACKET NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 65,000. UPDATED 6/8/09 *CN UPDATED 06/11/09.*JB
LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL FAILED AT 29,900 MILES (1.5 YEARS AGO) AND ENTIRE REAR END/AXLE ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP. NOW HAVE DRIVEN 48,000 AND THE REPLACEMENT AXLE SEAL ON THE LEFT SIDE (SAME AS BEFORE) HAS STARTED LEAKING AND MUST BE REPLACED. THERE HAVE BEEN NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS TO THIS VEHICLE AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR TOWING OR ANY TYPE. REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAKS AND CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF REAR END AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENT FROM SUDDEN STOP CAUSED BY AXLE LOCKING UP. REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ALSO LEAKS ON REAL BRAKE ROTORS AND EMERGENCY BRAKES AND COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE. SEVERAL SIMILAR INCIDENTS OF THIS SAME FAILURE CAN BE FOUND ONLINE AND IT APPEARS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE (2006 NISSAN TITAN). *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR FOR THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS FOR THE FRONT TIRES. THE VEHICLE WORKED NORMALLY FOR A YEAR AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, BUT THE FAILURE EVENTUALLY RECURRED. THIS TEMPORARILY REMEDIED THE ISSUE FOR 15,000 MILES. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THIS FAILURE SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING TO A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT USED EVERYDAY, SO HE BELIEVES THE FAILURE IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED FOR A SECOND TIME. CURRENTLY, THE ROTORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 5/26/09 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AND NEW PADS WERE INSTALLED. UPDATED 05/28/09.*JB
RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 8000 MILES NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL. NISSAN REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *TR
REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS LEAKING WHERE THE AXLE MEETS THE TIRE ON BOTH SIDES. *TR
THE REAR SEAT SEAT-BELTS OF MY NISSAN TITAN TRUCK WILL TIGHTEN INTO A LOCKED POSITION CAUSING THE PASSENGER TO BECOME IMMOBILIZED AGAINST THE SEAT BACK. THE ONLY WAY TO UNDO THE LOCKED SEAT-BELT IS TO COMPLETELY DISENGAGE IT, AND THEN RE-LOCK IT. HOWEVER, IT'S THEN JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT LOCKS UP AGAIN FORCING THE PASSENGER TO UNLOCK IT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD, BECAUSE THE PASSENGER HAS TO UNDO THEIR SEAT-BELT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION SO THEY CAN MOVE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SEAT BELTS ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIX THEM. I HAVE VERIFIED WITH OTHER 2006 NISSAN TITAN OWNERS AND THEY HAVE NOTED THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE NISSAN DEALER ADMITTED THEY HAVE HAD OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO REDESIGN THE REAR SEAT BELTS OR USE DIFFERENT TYPES THAT WON'T TIGHTEN AND LOCK UP WHEN PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY SITTING IN THEM, WHICH CREATES THIS SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I ALWAYS INSIST THAT ANYONE RIDING WITH ME USE THE SEAT BELTS, BUT I HAVE NOTED ON OCCASION THAT SOME HAVE RELEASED THEM WITHOUT TELLING ME, BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT HAD LOCKED UP ON THEM, CAUSING TOO MUCH DISCOMFORT. MAYBE YOU CAN GET NISSAN TO CORRECT THIS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY WON'T LISTEN TO ME (THEY SIMPLY REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT WITH A SIMILAR DEFECTIVE ONE). *TR

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

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

I WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT COOLING OFF WITH MY EYES CLOSED WHEN MY NEIGHBOR CAME RUNNING OUT SCREAMING THAT MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE HOOD FLAMES WERE VISIBLE AND SMOKE. SHE CALLED THE FIRE DEPT WHILE I USED THE HOSE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE THE BEST I COULD UNTIL THE FIRE DEPT ARRIVED. A NISSAN REP INVESTIGATED THE FIRE AND SAID IT WAS NOT THE COMPANY PROBLEM.

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

I AM CONCERNED IT IS A DESIGN FLAW & WILL EITHER FAIL WHEN IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY OR CAUSE ME TO BE STRANDED. I HEAR A LOT ABOUT AXLE SEAL LEAKS & DIFF. UNITS FAILING ON THE TITANS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE TRUCK IS APPROX. 35K. *TR

THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE SHACKLE BLEW APART RESULTING IN THE SPRING ALMOST BREAKING THOUGH THE BED METAL. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEED ON A CURVE I FEEL THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE NEGATIVE. I TAKE EXCEPTIONAL CARE OF MY TRUCK AND DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED LOADS OR TOWING LIMITS. I'VE OWNED SEVEN DIFFERENT TRUCKS IN MY LIFETIME AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY INCIDENT LIKE THIS HAPPEN. I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE A GOOD, HARD LOOK AT THE TYPE OF MATERIALS AND DESIGN INVOLVED IN THIS BRACKET, AS IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BROKEN ON A 3 YEAR OLD TRUCK, DRIVEN ON-ROAD WITH 58,000 MILES ON IT. I FIND THIS TO BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR
MY DANA AXLE SEALS STARTED LEAKING AT 35,000 MILES. IT GETS ALL OVER THE BRAKES, CAN CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE. NISSAN WARRANTED THE PROBLEM REPLACED ENTIRE REAR AXLE. MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME TRUCK HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE 90%. *TR

NOISE IN CONDENSER FAN MOTOR. THIS IS 3RD TIME SINCE PURCHASE OF TITAN IN APRIL 2006 THAT I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK TO DEALER. 1ST TIME, REPLACE A/C CONDENSER, 2ND TIME IN 2007 REPLACE COMPRESSOR, 2ND CONDENSER AND KEPT VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS. THIS SUMMER THE CONDENSER MOTOR. THEY SAID HAD RECALL ON IT AND PATCHED A SECTION OF THE MOTOR WITH A/C TAPE AND WRAPPED THE WIRING WITH TAPE AND PUT A WEDGE BETWEEN MOTOR AND BRACKET. MY WIFE WAITED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND 4 HOURS LATER WENT HOME. I WORK OUT OF TOWN AND I CHECKED THE INTERNET FOR RECALLS AND FOUND MORE THAN JUST THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK BUT, HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD BY NISSAN OR THE DEALER OF THESE OTHER RECALLS. THE LAST TIME MY TRUCK WAS KEPT FOR 3 WEEKS I REPORTED TO NISSAN THE PROBLEMS AND WAS CUT OFF WHEN I WAS GIVING MY COMPLAINT TO CUSTOMER SERVICE {?}. NEVER HEARD FROM THEM OR THE LOCAL DEALER SPARKS NISSAN.OH YES, I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED IN MARCH 2008 AS IT DIED AND WOULD NOT HOLD A CHARGE AND IT WAS ON A WEEKEND AND HAD TO BE REPAIRED BEFORE I LEFT TOWN AND NO WAY FOR MY WIFE TO GO. THE DEALER OWNER HERE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT HIS CUSTOMERS AFTER THE SELL AND EACH TIME SOMEONE ASK ME HOW I LIKE MY TRUCK; I TELL THEM HOW WE HAVE BEEN TREATED AND WHAT PROBLEMS WE HAVE HAD. I SUGGEST STRONGLY THAT THE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMIN. CONTACT THESE MANUFACTURES AND ENFORCE THE RECALLS. SOME OF THESE CAN BE FATAL IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS ALL UNACCEPTABLE FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT IS SPENT ON THE PURCHASE OF A VEHICLE. *TR

1. I OWN A 2006 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB SE. AFTER NORMAL DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS AND 2 MONTHS THE VEHICLE REQUIRES AN ALIGNMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE CAMBER. THERE WAS NO CAMBER KIT INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE FROM THE FACTORY. EVERY MANUFACTURER KNOWS THAT PART OF PROPER MAINTENANCE IS REALIGNING THE VEHICLE. 2. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO FIND OUT IF OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS BLOGS OF 2006 NISSAN TITANS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR I HAVE FOUND THAT NISSAN FAILED TO PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO ALIGN THE VEHICLE. 3. NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. WHEN NISSAN IS CONTACTED THEY INFORM ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY SINCE I HAVE EXCEEDED THE 36,000 MILES. I AM TOLD THAT I HAVE TO PURCHASE A CAMBER KIT FROM NISSAN IN ORDER TO ALIGN THE VEHICLE. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKES WERE UNDERRATED (TOO SMALL) TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE STOPPING ABILITY FOR A VEHICLE OF THAT SIZE. AS A RESULT, THE BRAKES DUG INTO THE ROTORS AND CAUSED MASSIVE DAMAGE TO THE POINT THAT THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE BRAKES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE BRAKE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 12,850.
THE VEHICLES FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AT 34,250 MILES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON MANY ONLINE FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY RESOLVE WITH JUST BEING FIXED. I WAS VERY UPSET TO FIND OUT THAT WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY 2 CHILDREN WHILE HELPING HER MOTHER MOVE, THAT THE AXLE ON THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN SEPARATING. MY TRUCK IS NOT UTILIZED FOR HAULING LARGE LOADS OR TOWING OF ANY KIND. *TR
PASSENGER SIDE REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK OBSERVED ON 2/3/2008. FLUID LEAK COVERED BOTTOM PORTION OF BRAKE ROTOR. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND AXLE SEAL WAS REPLACED UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE AS DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ON BRAKES COULD IMPACT BRAKE FUNCTION AND LEAD TO FAILURE. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT EXPLAINED THAT SEVERAL OF THESE SEALS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE (BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES), BUT THEY HAVE LITTLE EXPLANATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN SE CREW CAB 4X4. I WAS LOOKING AT MY NEW TIRES WHEN I NOTICED FLUID LEAKING AT THE END OF THE AXLE WHERE IT JOINS WITH THE WHEEL. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO FAILURE. I TOOK IT 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD TO CENTRAL VALLEY NISSAN UPON NOTICING THIS PROBLEM (I WAS DOWN THERE WITHIN 30 MINUTES). THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ON TITANS BEFORE. HE SAID IT IS A REAR AXLE SEAL THAT HAS FAILED. I WAS TOLD THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE THE AXLE WARPS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS FIXED THE NEXT DAY (I AM GOING DOWN FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING). I AM HOPEFUL THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN WITH MY VEHICLE. BASED ON INTERNET SEARCHES, THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD. SINCERELY, MICHAEL JAMES *TR

I WAS CHANGING REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL FOUND LEAKING FORM THE DRIVER SIDE AXLE SEAL AND PINION GEAR SHAFT FRONT SEAL. IF AXLE SEAL LEAK GETS WORSE IT MIGHT GET ON TO THE ABS SENSOR AND BRAKE DISK AND EMERGENCY BRAKE (LITTLE DRUM DISK) AND CAUSE SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. ALSO IF I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS AND KEPT DRIVING THIS AXLE ONLY HOLD ABOUT 2 QUARTS OF GEAR OIL, ALL OIL CAN LEAK OUT AND CAUSE DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE PROBLEM SUDDENLY AND IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ALSO. LEAKING OIL IS ALSO A ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDED. SO MANY PEOPLE SEEMS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, BY RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET. *JB

TRUCK BECAME STUCK IN A MUDDY DITCH, USED 4 WHEEL DRIVE TO GET OUT OF THE DITCH. AFTER PULLING OUT OF DITCH TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF WITH TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET OUT OF THE DITCH THE TRUCK DID SPIN, BUT NOT EXCESSIVELY. WHEN TRUCK WAS RESTARTED, THERE WAS A WARNING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. TRUCK WOULD NOT GO FORWARD, BUT WOULD GO IN REVERSE. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. ALTHOUGH THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER COMPLETE WARRANTY, THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY STATING THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BURNED UP AND THAT THE TRUCK HAD BEEN ABUSED BECAUSE THERE WAS MUD ON THE TRUCK. *JB
BRAKES - REPLACED 3 TIMES WITHIN 16000 MILES. WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE OR SOONER IF I HAD KNOWN HOW TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM EARLIER. THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC EVENTS THAT LEAD TO THE THESE WARRANTY REPLACEMENTS. I WAS REASSURED THAT MY NORMAL DRIVING DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROBLEMS. REAR AXLE REPLACEMENT - 15800 MILES. THIS WAS ALSO NOT DUE TO MY NORMAL DRIVING, AS REASSURED BY THE NISSAN SERVICE STATION. I WAS LITERALLY SHAKEN OFF THE ROAD. THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE SERVICE STATION, AFTER THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VIBRATION I FELT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO SOME TIRE CUPPING WHEN I HAD BROUGHT IT IN THE DAY BEFORE. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS JERKING AND RUNNING AT HIGHER THAN NORMAL RPM IN IDLE AND REVERSE. NEW TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 15800 MILES ALSO. ALL THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED MERELY 1 WEEK AFTER MY NEW TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY AND REAR END WERE REPLACED. I HAD DRIVEN ALMOST 600 MILES. I AM NOW DRIVING A RENTAL CAR, PAYING OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE I AM TOO SCARED TO LOSE CONTROL OF A CAR THAT MIGHT HAVE A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE CAUSING HARM TO MYSELF OR OTHER DRIVERS/PEDESTRIANS. I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN MARCH 2006; WITH 6 MILES ON IT. *JB
I DRIVE DAILY ON UNLIT ROADS, AND THIS PROBLEM FREQUENTLY OCCURS. MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN'S AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING CONTROLS RESPONSE TO CHANGE IS SLOW WITH HEADLIGHTS ON (10-15 SECONDS TO MOVE FROM FLOOR TO DEFROST), CAUSING A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN NEEDING TO DEFROST AT NIGHT. NISSAN INDICATED THIS SAFETY PROBLEM IS THE RESULT OF POOR DESIGN FOR TITANS SINCE THE ENGINEERS CHOSE TO USE THE VARIABLE VOLTAGE FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT RHEOSTAT TO POWER THE HVAC CONTROLS. THIS 15 SECOND DELAY CAUSES A SAFETY PROBLEM SINCE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT SINCE THE DRIVER MAY BE UNAWARE THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS FOGGED UNTIL ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMES INTO VIEW. WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN MODES (IN THIS CASE, HEAT TO DEFROST), BY THE TIME AIR BEGINS TO BLOW OVER THE WINDSHIELD, THE TRUCK HAS TRAVELED 1100 FEET WITHOUT ME BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD (AT 50 MPH). THIS HAS MADE ME RUN OFF THE ROAD, OR NEARLY RUN OFF THE ROAD, NUMEROUS TIMES (AT LEAST 10 THAT I REMEMBER). THE ONLY OTHER OPTION IS TO TURN THE INSTRUMENT PANELS TO FULL BRIGHT WHICH BLINDS ME DURING NIGHTTIME DRIVING (JUST AS UNACCEPTABLE AS A FOGGED WINDSHIELD). NISSAN CURRENTLY HAS NO REPAIR FOR THIS MALFUNCTION. *NM
(1) REAR END STARTING MAKING A HIGH PITCHED WHINING NOISE AT HIGH SPEEDS, A GROANING AT LOW SPEEDS (3) DEALER REPLACED ENTIRE REAR END ASSEMBLY. *JB
EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY TITAN (3-3-06) I NOTICED A WHINING NOISE AT SPEED WHEN I LET OFF OF THE GAS. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS TIRE NOISE. WELL ON NOVEMBER 15, 2006 I NOTICED A REAL BAD GRINDING/WHINING NOISE WHEN I DECELERATED. THERE WAS ONLY 6900 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A MECHANIC RODE WITH ME UP THE STREET AND BACK AND SAID THAT MY TRUCK HAD PROBLEMS. I LEFT THE TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP OVERNIGHT AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR END. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT MY TRUCK HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE I EVEN BOUGHT IT AND THAT THE WHINING NOISE I ALWAYS HEARD WAS THE REAR END AND NOT THE TIRES. *NM
I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN A CITY STREET APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, WHEN A LOUD, BANGING, CLANKING NOISE ERUPTED FROM THE REAR END. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE REAR TIRES MOMENTARILY SEIZED UP PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO A SKID, WHICH I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT. THE REAR END THEN BEGAN TO FREE WHEEL AND I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONLY BY TEMPORARILY PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO 4WD WAS I ABLE TO GET SAFELY OFF THE ROADWAY. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. TRUCK IS UNDER WARRANTY WITH NISSAN. DEALER DIAGNOSED A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND REPLACED ENTIRE REAR AXLE UNDER WARRANTY. *JB

PENDING OTHER OPTIONS - PERSUE SMALL CLAIMS SUIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF CDS, ONE MORE INCIDENT OF SAME ITEM WILL MEET IL LEMON LAWS UNDER FOR IMPACT TO MATERIAL VALUE OF THE VEHICLE... I LIKE THE TRUCK AND IT FUNCTIONS WELL EXCEPT FOR THIS MORE SIMPLISTIC ITEM AND THE DIFFICULTY IN GETTING REPAIR FROM A DEALER THAT I DID NOT PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AND THE NUMBER OF FAILURES OF THE SAME ITEM. NISSAN USA HAS NOT BEEN MATERIALLY HELPFUL, ONLY TO DOCUMENT BUT NO ACTION. 2ND TIRES 285/70/R17 - REPORTED TO MICHELIN (FOR BF GOODRICH RUGGED TRAIL - OEM) TIRES - HAVE LESS THAN 6/32S TREAD REMAINING WITH ONLY 6K MILES ON TIRES - MICHELIN WILL NOT REPLACE OR COMPENSATE UNTIL 2/32S, THOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM GIVEN ORIGINAL TREAD WAS 13/32S SO MORE THAN HALF TREAD LIFE IS GONE IN 6K MILES. *JB

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 5/29/06 FROM VICTORY NISSAN OF RICHMOND. ONE WEEK LATER PROPERTY WAS STOLEN WHEN A SUNROOF WAS INSTALLED. AT THE END OF JUNE, BRAKES FAILED AND PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED GOING ON INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, DRIVER SEAT IS CROOKED. DEALER SAID THEY BLED THE BRAKES AND CLUTCH(?). THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC. ALSO, THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG (THEN WHY DOES LIGHT KEEP COMING ON AND STAYING ON?) AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SEAT. LAST NIGHT (8/15/06) MY BRAKES FAILED AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER THIS MORNING. I ADVISE THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THESE WERE LIFE SAFETY ISSUES AND SHOULD FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW. I WAS ADVISED THE LEMON LAW WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM AND I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT NISSAN USA FOR ASSISTANCE. IS IT STILL NOT THEIR CONCERN WHEN THE FAULTY PRODUCT THEY SOLD FAILS AND CAUSES LOSS OF LIFE??? *NM
THE REAR AXLE SEALS ON THE NISSAN TITAN YEARS 2004-CURRENT HAVE A SEVERE AND PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH LEAKING. I HAVE HAD MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN IN THE SHOP ONCE TO REPLACE THE RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL AT 18,000 MILES AND NOW AT 20,000 MILES IT IS LEAKING AGAIN. THE LOCATION OF THE LEAK IS WHAT WORRIES ME. WHEN THE AXLE SEAL FAILS, IT SPRAYS GEAR OIL ON THE BRAKE COMPONENTS (ROTORS, CALIPERS, PADS) AND I AM WORRIED THAT THE PADS WILL BECOME CONTAMINATED AND NOT WORK EFFECTIVELY WHEN TO STOP MY TRUCK IN CASE OF A SUDDEN STOP. *NM
ON 22 JUNE 2006, I NOTICED WATER COMING BETWEEN THE HEADLINER AND REAR WINDOW JUST RIGHT OF THE CENTER ELECTRIC WINDOW. WATER HAD BEEN DRIPPING ONTO THE WINDOW LEDGE BELOW THE LEAK FOR SOMETIME DUE TO THE CONCENTRATION OF WATER SPOTS. THE LOCAL DEALER IDENTIFIED THE LOCATION OF THE LEAK (WITH PICTURES) AND HAD THE WINDOW PULLED AND RESEALED BY A LOCAL SPEEDY AUTO GLASS. UPON RECEIPT OF THE VEHICLE, I WAS GIVEN INSTRUCTION NOT TO CLOSE THE DOORS TO HARD AND TO WAIT AT LEST 48 HOURS BEFORE WASHING. APPROXIMATELY 72 HOUR AFTER RECEIPT OF THE VEHICLE I WASHED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED WATER LEAKING FROM THE SAME SPOT. *NM
AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO RETURN TO FULL IMMEDIATELY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES THE GAUGE WOULD FINALLY READ FULL. WHEN THE VEHICLE SAT FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS THE SAME CONDITION OCCURRED. AFTER NEXT REFUEL THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE RESOLVED UNTIL THE VEHICLE SAT FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A SERVICE BULLETIN DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY AFTER SEVERAL DAYS. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL WEEKS AND SEVERAL REFUELS AND THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED. *NM

AN ALIGNMENT WAS DONE ON THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS RETURNED TO THE CONSUMER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED IT STILL PULLED TO THE RIGHT.

INCIDENT OCCURRED DURING NORMAL USE OF A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. NO SUSPENSION OR DRIVE LINE MODIFICATIONS. THE DIFFERENTIAL FAILED WHEN TURNING RIGHT ONTO A BUSY STREET. THERE WAS A LOUD BANG THEN A GRINDING SOUND. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT DRIVE AFTER THAT. EVERY TIME I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE TRUCK WOULD JUST GRIND AND NOT MOVE. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO ROYAL MOORE AUTO CENTER IN HILLSBORO, OR. WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN LOOKED AT THE TRUCK THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THE DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN HE MADE THE ORDER HE SAID NISSAN WOULD NOT GIVE HIM A DELIVERY DATE FOR THE PART BECAUSE IT WAS BACK ORDERED. IT'S BEEN A WEEK AND I STILL DO NOT HAVE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR PART DELIVERY OR REPAIR. *NM

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB. IT HAS GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES SRA 265 70 R18 ON IT. IN THE FIRST TWO TIMES I HAVE HAD IT IN LIGHT RAIN ON GOOD HIGHWAYS IT HYDROPLANES HORRIBLY AT MEDIUM SPEEDS{45 TO 55 MPH}. I HAVE NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES IN LIGHT RAIN. THE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE DO NOTHING TO CHANNEL AWAY WATER IN MY OPINION. I WENT INTO A SLIGHT CURVE IN THE RAIN AND THE VEHICLE JUST WANTED TO GO STRAIGHT. THE MATCH OF THIS TIRE WITH THIS TRUCK IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. THE TIRE OPTION LISTED LATER IN THIS COMPLAINT DO NOT GIVE GOODYEAR WRANGLER AS AN OPTION.
