2004 Nissan Titan Problems & Complaints

Brakes - sitting at the used car dealership since 8.8.2025. The truck will not stop when the brakes are applied. If the vehicle does not stop when brakes are applied. Lives are at risk if they are hit or ran over. Inspected by a Nissan dealership, invoices are available. The Brake Booster is no longer manufactured by Nissan. No repair is available. Unknown. No accidents have occurred due to this, we are in fear of our safety to drive it. The Sales manager at the dealership disconnected the ABS. We purchased this vehicle on 6.23.2025. The Brakes were not working within driving this vehicle for less than 3 weeks. We have made a formal complaint to the dealership. Taken it to a certified Nissan Dealer. The dealership we purchased this truck from has ignored every request we have made. We hired an attorney here in St. George, UT. The dealership has not replied to our Attorney. This Vehicle is NOT SAFE to be driven on the roads. We would like to know what the safety measures are in place for a USED vehicle dealership to sell an AS-IS-VEHICLE. Please see that I have attached all of our documentation we have provided to the State of Utah, our Attorney and to the Motor Vehicle Division of the State of Utah. A persons safety in their vehicle is a must.

I was driving down a main road by my office, accelerating when the car suddenly stalled. As the truck was independently decelerating, the steering wheel became hard to steer due to the truck being "off". I managed to force it to turn to a shoulder so as to not get rear ended by vehicles behind me. I could've been on the highway with traffic speeds up to 70mph and it would've been a different scenario. I later found out that the 1/4 fuel on the gauge was faulty and I was out of gas. I went to the NHTSA website to find out 2005 model Titans were included in the recall but not my 2004.

Purchased a used 2004 Nissan titan truck with lower miles. Rear axel exploded and burst into flames when driving down the freeway. (Bowling Green, Kentucky) We managed to pull off to the side of the freeway without hitting anyone. Fire dept was able to put the flames out. Didn't find any recalls about the Truck when we bought it. Now I have seen reports on line that this has happened to other consumers. Something needs to be done to warn consumers. We could have died. We could of hit others and killed them as well. Dealership has completed repairs and seen the defect. We have the damaged part. There were no prior warnings. Vehicle was inspected before the road trip to insure it was safe.

When I drive my truck under rain or wet road I have several incidents if my truck tires slip the truck goes out of control if I keep pressing the pedal. Is scary feeling specially because losing control under rain is to unsafe. I know it that on my dashboard the airbags warning is blinking is that has something to do with my incidents ? Can you guys fix this problem thank you. Is raining season and I don't want to suffer injuries or death

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

IN JULY 2016, I APPEALED TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA FOR PAINT DEFECTS ON MY TRUCK. THE PAINT CONTINUES TO PEEL OFF . MY TRUCK IN PATCHES AND HAS HAD NO OTHER REPAIRS.

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

TAIL PIPE BROKE OFF AT FLANGE CUSEING WIRE HARNESS TO MELT WHILE DRIVEING DOWN HIGHWAY. TRUCK LOST POWER WAS INOPERABLE

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

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAUSED EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

3'RD BRAKE LINE RUPTURE. ALL THE CONNECTORS UNDER OR AROUND BOTTOM OF FRAME APPEAR RUSTED. I'M GETTING AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT SEEMS THESE LINES SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE FROM A COMPONENT THAT WOULD NOT RUST. I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE

THE FRONT AXEL SEPARATED AT 75,000 MILES. DEALER STATED IT WOULD COST $1,600 TO REPAIR. I WENT ONLINE TO CHECK PRICING AND IF OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY ARE. HTTP://WWW.TITANTALK.COM/FORUMS/TITAN-PROBLEMS-DEALER-SERVICE/68142-FRONT-AXLE-FAILER-THREAD-14.HTML

DRIVING AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE KICKED OUT. TOOK TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID PASS AXLE C CLIP CAME OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A LOUD NOISE COULD BE HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WAS SLUGGISH WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

THE BRAKE LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY 235 (MD) ROAD. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES IT MADE WHAT SEEMS TO BE GRINDING NOISE. THE BRAKES WENT SOFT LUCKILY THE I WAS NEAR A SHOULDER AND AVOIDED A NEAR REAR END WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS CLOSE TO A GAS STATION. I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION WITH THE GRINDING NOISE. I WENT OUTSIDE TO SEE IF THERE WERE AN BRAKE LEAKS OR ANY BRAKE ISSUES AND NOTICED NOTHING. I TURNED ON THE TRUCK AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS GONE AND THE BRAKES WERE NORMAL. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY DEALER AND SHEEHY NISSAN STATED IT WAS THE POWER BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER. NISSAN DEALER STATED THEY HAD A NOTICE ON THIS ISSUE. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. I HAD IT FIXED - WELL $1,428.45 LATER. THE SAD PART - THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 15647 MILES AND LIGHTLY USED. SEEMS THAT THERE ARE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES ON NISSAN TITANS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. INVOICE OF THE SERVICES PERFORMED ARE UPLOADED. DID REMOVE PERSONAL INFORMATION PER INSTRUCTIONS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE.

DRIVESHAFT FAILURE, LEADING TO DIFFERENTIAL LOCK. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE DRIVESHAFT CAME LOOS AND FELL OUT OF THE TRUCK. NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME SO NO ONE WAS HURT! THE PINON YOKE THAT SLIDES ONTO THE PINON GEAR SHAFT OF THE RING AND PINON DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY USING A SPLINE SHAFT. THE PINON NUT HAS COMPLETELY UNTHREADED OFF THE PINON SHAFT,BUT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE THREADS ON THE SPLINE. AS SOON AS THE PINON NUT BEGAN TO BACK OFF IT WOULD ALL THE PINON GEAR TO MOVE AGAINST THE RING GEAR IN A FORWARD AND REARWARD MOTION AGAINST THE SHIMS. THERE IS A WIDE RANGE OF COMPLAINTS OF THE 04 TITAN FORUMS THAT HAVE INDICATED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND DRIVE SHAFT PROBLEMS AND THAT NISSAN HAS COVERED SOME OF THEM UNDER A GOOD WILL WARRANTY. IF THEY ARE KNOWING ABOUT ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND COVERING SOME OF THEM WHY ARE THEY NOT RECALLING THIS. IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND ME THEY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THIS WENT THROUGH THESE WINDOW. SD LYONS (5083369393) HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN AND A WOMAN BEEN PARALYZED FOR LIFE AS THE DRIVE SHAFT WENT THROUGH HER WINDOW AND TOOK OFF HER ROOF AND SLICE HER HEAD. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE BEFORE NISSAN WILL HAVE TO RECALL THIS!

NISSAN HAS AT EACH SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUES. TSB # NTB05-118A 2004 ' 2005 TITAN AND ARMADA; OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE CABLE FREEZES; DOOR DIFFICULT TO CLOSE IN COLD TEMPERATURES NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS WELL AS MANY MANY OTHER OWNERS AFTER DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH. STATIONARY HAPPENS EVERY NIGHT WHEN TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW 30 DEG

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES STOPPED FUNCTIONING WHILE DRIVING 65-70 MPH.

ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE VCU CHIP AND THE VACUUM CANISTER MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED WHEN DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE

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

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

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

TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AT CROSSROADS TO GO RIGHT ONTO A ROADWAY WITH HIGH SPEED VEHICLES APPROACHING. MY REAR END MADE A LOUD BANG AND BACK END SEEMED TO LOCK UP OR SKIP AND COULDN'T GET GOING - NEARLY REAR ENDED BY VEHICLES ON ROADWAY WHILE TRYING TO ENTER AS COULDN'T GET GOING.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS AND THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V459000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 156,300.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A CRACK IN THE MANIFOLD GASKET. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG MODULE WAS OPEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED TO VIBRATE AND FAILED TO ENGAGE PROPERLY.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,611.

REAR AXLE SEALS LEAK AND COULD POTENTIALLY SOAK REAR DISC BRAKE PADS TO THE POINT OF COMPLETE FAILURE. *JS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT BREATHING IN CARBON MONOXIDE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. UPDATED 8/21/13 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE EXHAUST LEAKS THAT WERE CAUSED BY FAULTY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS FROM NISSAN. THE DEALER AT THE TIME, REPLACED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THEY USED THE SAME MANIFOLD DESIGN AND THIS WAS ALL DONE UNDER WARRANTY. AROUND APRIL 2013, THE CONSUMER BEGAN HEARING THE SAME EXHAUST NOISE FROM BEFORE. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AND THEY INFORMED HIM THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THEY CONFIRMED THAT BOTH MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED AND SHOULD BE REPLACED, WITH A MODIFIED DESIGN MANIFOLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING AN EXHAUST REPAIR PERFORMED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, HE WAS ADVISED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS FRACTURED.

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

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

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

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

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE AT AN INTERSECTION THE BRAKES FAILED. THE "BRAKE" LIGHT CAME ON, IT MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND I HAD NO BRAKES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND AFTER CHECKING THE COMPUTER FOR EMBEDDED CODES HE FOUND TWO CODE FAILURES (C1104 & C1179). I HAVE GOOGLED THESE PROBLEMS AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY OTHER NISSAN ARMADA AND TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NISSAN NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

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

ON MAY 3, 2012, I SAW MY SIDE MIRROR LIGHTS WERE NOT TURNING OFF, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. I SCHEDULED WORK FOR MY TRUCK FOR MAY 5, 2012. MY TRUCK WAS PARKED AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT FROM AROUND 6 AM TO 2 PM ON MAY 3, 2012. WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE WORK I TRIED TO START MY TRUCK AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER, TRIED TO JUMP START WITH NO SUCCESS AND EVEN HAD A TOW TRUCK COMPANY ATTEMPT TO START THE TRUCK. AFTER THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO LOCAL SHOP THE TRUCK STARTED UP WITH NO PROBLEM AND THE MECHANIC SAID SINCE ITS NOT SHOWING ANY ISSUES THAT IT DID BEFORE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. ON MAY 5, 2012 I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THEY ALSO FIXED A RECALL WITH THE ECM RELAY. ON THE SAME DAY AROUND 6 PM IN THE AFTERNOON THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON MAY 6, 2012 AND ON MAY 7, 2012 THE TECHNICIANS AT NISSAN CONTACTED ME STATING IT WAS MY BCM WHICH WAS IN THE SAME AREA AS THE ECM. I HAD TO PAY ABOUT 600 DOLLARS FOR A NEW BCM. I BELIEVE THE BCM WENT OUT DUE TO THE RECALL WORK THAT WAS PERFORMED EARLIER. *TR

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE COULD SMELL FUEL FUMES INSIDE OF THE CABIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INSPECTED. THE MECHANIC FOUND A DEFECT ON THE EXHAUST PIPE AND BOTH MANIFOLDS HAD CRACKS IN THEM. IN ORDER TO REPAIR VEHICLE, THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND CATALYST NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

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

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

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITIAN. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC.

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

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

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

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

BOTH REAR WHEEL AXLE SEALS HAVE FAILED AT 67,906 MILES. LEAKING BOTH SIDES. CAUGHT IN TIME SO THAT REAR BRAKES ARE NOT DESTROYED AND REAR END/DIFFERENTIAL NOT DESTROYED.

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC TO HAVE THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D. NUMBER: 10E019000 (SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM) BUT WAS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 35 MPH AND NOTICED AN ABNORMAL NOISE FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE FAILURE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEALS AND THE GEAR BOX WERE LEAKING AT THE BRAKE CYLINDER.

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRING THE DEFECT.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THAT THEY NOW ARE REQUIRED TO REPLACE BOTH AXLES, BEARINGS, SEALS, ETC TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND WOULD BE $2600. THEY EXPLAINED THAT IF I DIDN'T GET IT FIXED MY BRAKES WOULD MALFUNCTION BECAUSE OF THE OF THE THICK BUILD UP OF OIL, AND ULTIMATELY, THERE WOULD BE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE REAR AXLE BECAUSE OF THE FLUID LOSS.

I NOTICED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WHEN MY BRAKES STARTED ACTING UP. EX. I WAS DRIVING NEAR MY HOUSE WHEN, I PRESSED MY BRAKES AND IT ALMOST WENT TO THE FLOOR. IT ALSO KICKED IN THE ABS, WHEN I WAS ONLY DOING ABOUT 10MPH. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON FLASHING. EVERY TIME I PRESSED THE BRAKE(ONLY TWO TIMES) IT DID THIS. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. GOT OUT LOOKED AROUND AND DID NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG. I GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK AND DROVE STRAIGHT HOME. IT DID NOT DO THIS AGAIN UNTIL ABOUT 15K MILES LATER. I THEN TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME ONLY ONE WAS BAD. ABOUT A WEEK LATER I PUT THE TRUCK ON A LIFT MYSELF. I NOTICED BOTH WERE LEAKING! I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN UNLESS IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFAULT. THERE IS NEVER A HARD STRAIN ON MY DRIVETRAIN. IT IS 2WD AND MY WORK TRUCK IN THE CITY.

THE EXHAUST FUMES PROGRESSIVELY BECAME WORSE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING ON BRAKES. TRUCK WONT STOP VERY WELL.NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

LEFT AXLE SEAL LEAK ON 2004 NISSAN TITAN, SEAL REPLACED AT 63,000 MILES. AT 65,000 MILE NOW REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS BAD, NEEDS REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF $2800. *TR

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

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

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

PASS REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL. AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WE WOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A TICKING NOISE FROM THE HEADER AND ENGINE AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NOW THE DEALER WAS STATING THAT THE HEADERS AND MANIFOLD WERE DEFECTIVE. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE OIL PRESSURE AND THE HEADERS ON BOTH SIDES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

GREASE LEAKING FROM RIGHT FRONT AXLE. AXLE WILL NOT STAY ENGAGED INTO FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. NISSAN SAYS DIFFERENTIAL MUST BE REPLACED.

WHEN MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 PICKUP (66420 MILES) FAILED AT ATTEMPTING TO CLIMB THE HILL TO MY HOUSE, I DISCOVERED THAT ALTHOUGH 4WD WAS SELECTED, IT WAS APPARENTLY NOT ENGAGED. UPON INVESTIGATION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE HALF AXLE CAME OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. UPON RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THIS IS APPARENTLY A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN TITAN 4X4S. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED THE PROBLEM BY RE-INSERTING THE HALF SHAFT INTO THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL IS LEAKING, AT 85,436 MILES. *TR

WHILE FUELING, GAS BACK FLOWS OUT OF INLET DURING FIRST 1/4 TANK. FUELING MUST BE DONE AT A TRICKLE FOR FIRST +- 5 GALLONS, OR YOU END UP BEING DOUSED WITH GASOLINE. *TR

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH OR LESS OVER AN UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE AND ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE, THE BRAKES WOULD FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE STOPPED BY UTILIZING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD RESET INDEPENDENTLY AND WOULD NOT PRODUCE ANY FAILURE CODES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

TOOK MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN INTO DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR LEFT AXEL WAS LEAKING. THE TRUCK HAS 107.000 MILES. *LN

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND AS I TOOK OFF GETTING MY TRUCK UP TO 15-20 MPH I NOTICED A WHINING SOUND. IT SOUNDED AS IF THE SOUND WAS IN THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS SHOT. THE RING AND PINION FAILED IN THE TRUCK AND SHARDS OF METAL EFFECTED THE GEARS AS WELL.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY OPEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER. WHEN THE DOOR OPENED THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE IT. THE FAILURE ALWAYS OCCURRED WHENEVER IT WAS EXTREMELY COLD. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND BECAUSE OF THE HIGH MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. . UPDATED 03/03/11 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE DRIER'S DOOR EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE WOULD FREEZE WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED BELOW 20 DEGREES. THE DOOR HANDLE WOULD BECOME VERY STIFF OR HARD TO OPEN. ONCE THE DOOR WAS OPENED, THE LATCH WOULD NOT CATCH AND THEREFORE THE DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT. UPDATED 03/09/11

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAME APART AND WAS SUCKED UP IN THE INTAKE OF THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED HIM THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

WHILE DRIVING KID'S TO SCHOOL ONE MORNING TRUCK LOCKED UP WHEELS AND SKIDDED THROUGH TRAFFIC FOR COUPLE 100FT FROM 35MPH OR SO. GOT OUT OF CAR AND COULD SEE THAT SOMETHING IN LEFT FRONT SUSPENSION HANGING OUT AND SOME KIND OF FLUID EVERYWHERE. INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSED ME TOO CRASH AND ALSO STRANDED MYSELF AND KIDS. CAR WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC AS I COULD DO NOTHING TO GET CAR TO MOVE, ALSO ASSUMED WAS NOT TO SAFE TO TRY AND DRIVE. AFTER DIAGNOSING WAS TOLD THAT LEFT FRONT AXLE FLANGE HAD FELL OUT OF FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND WOULD NEED THE ENTIRE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED WITH LEFT FRONT AXLE AS WELL WHICH GOT CAUGHT IN SUSPENSION AND LOCKED UP WHEELS. COST ON REPAIRS WOULD RUN AROUND $2000.00. SERVICE WRITER ADVISED THAT SHOULD BE OR POSSIBLY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS TRUCK HAS 6 YEAR 60,000 MILE WARRANTY ON POWER TRAIN. TRUCK HAS 64,872 AND IS A 2004. CALLED 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND ALL SAID NO DUE TO 4800 MILES OVER, BUT THAT I COULD DROP OFF AND THEY WOULD GLADLY REPAIR AND SEE IF NISSAN WOULD DO ANYTHING. WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT AS MOST VISITS TO DEALERSHIP ALWAYS ENDED UP SAME WAY. " SORRY WE COULDN'T HELP HERE'S YOUR BILL ". NOT HAPPY WITH THIS WHOLE THING CHECKED UP ON THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND ARE 1000'S OF COMPLAINT'S FOR THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND HOW IT OCCURS ALL OVER INTERNET, LEMONLAW SITE, FORUMS AND ALSO HERE AT NHTSA. AFTER HAVING TRUCK REPAIRED AT LOCAL SHOP ALSO FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS DESIGNED A ENTIRE NEW DIFFERENTIAL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. ALTHOUGH WHEN I SPOKE TO THESE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THE SORT. THE PARTS DEPARTMENT HAD NO PROBLEM GIVING THIS INFORMATION TO THE MECHANIC AT MY SHOP THAT PERFORMED REPAIRS. IT SEEMS A BIT SCARY THAT NOT ONLY DOES THE DEALERSHIP AND OR MANUFACTURER KNOW ABOUT THIS, BUT ALSO GOVERNMENT AND TRAFFIC/HIGHWAY SAFETY PEOPLE AND YET WE JUST KEEP DRIVING AROUND WITH OUR FAMILIES AND LOVED ONE'S TRUSTING THESE VEHICLE'S BECAUSE NO ONE IS TELLING US DIFFERENT. *TR

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

I LIVE IN THE COLD NORTHEAST AND HAVE TO WARM MY VEHICLE BEFORE I DRIVE TO WORK. MY TRUCK IS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN SE WITH 79K MILES ON IT. I BRUSHED THE VEHICLE OFF AND STARTED IT TURNING THE DEFROSTER TO HIGH AND TURNING ON THE SIDE MIRROR DEFROSTERS AS WELL. I WENT BACK INSIDE TO GRAB THE REST OF MY STUFF FOR WORK AND WAS INSIDE FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES. WHEN I CAME BACK OUTSIDE I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY TRUCK ON FIRE. FIRE ENGULFED THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR AND THE DRIPPING PLASTIC WAS BURNING UP THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I RETURNED INSIDE AND GRABBED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE FIRE OUT. LUCKILY MY VEHICLE WAS FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THE GARAGE AS TO NOT BE A CONCERN AS TO BURNING DOWN MY HOUSE. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THE MIRROR DEFROST SWITCH WAS STILL ACTIVE AND HAD NOT TRIPPED ANY FUSES. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. THIS JUST HAPPENED THIS MORNING AND I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE TROUBLE AS YET. THE MIRROR OF COURSE IS TOTALLY DESTROYED AND THE PAINT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS DAMAGED. I AM WRITING THIS OUT OF CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC AS THIS COULD HAVE EASILY EVOLVED INTO A FULL BLOWN HOUSE FIRE. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN - KNOW ISSUE WITH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT LEAK. THIS LEAK OR CRACK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAUSES THE ENGINE COMPUTER TO RUN FULL RICH ALL THE TIME. THIS CREATES AN UNSAFE CONDITION INSIDE THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE WITH NOXIOUS EXHAUST FUMES AND HEALTH CONCERNS. NOT TO MENTION THE FUEL MILEAGE IS ALMOST CUT IN HALF AS I HAVE CALCULATED. MY TRUCK WILL BE ON IT'S THIRD SET OF MANIFOLDS. THE FIRST TWO SETS OF REPLACEMENTS WERE COVERED UNDER THE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANT UP TO 80K MILES BUT THAT HAS EXPIRED AT THIS POINT. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND FROM INFORMATION I HAVE GATHERED THE HAVE UPDATED THE DESIGN OF THE MANIFOLDS. I MIGHT ADD THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ARE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THESE MANIFOLDS. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH EXHAUST FUMES CONSTANTLY ENTERING INSIDE THIS CAB - I DRIVE TO WORK WITH HEADACHES AND NAUSEA AND BURNING EYES EVERY DAY! *TR

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

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

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

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

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

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

REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEALS FAILED. NISSAN SERVICE ADVISED ME BOTH AXLES NEEDED REPLACED ALONG WITH NEW SEALS. OVER $1660. THEY HAVE A SERVICE NOTICE THAT AXLES IN TITAN PICK-UPS NEED UPGRADED. SOUNDS LIKE THEY KNOW THE AXLE SET UP LEADS TO SEALS THAT LEAK CAUSING DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. *TR

REAR DRUM BRAKE LINER DETACHED FROM BACKING PLATE WHILE DRIVING. A LOUD BANGING NOISE WAS MADE. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY DRIVEN TO A NISSAN DEALER. A LOANER CAR WAS OFFERED TO ME. A TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE FOLLOWING; THE BRAKE LINER CAUSED NONREPAIRABLE DAMAGE TO ABS SENSOR, DRIVE SHAFT, DUST SHIELD, AND BRAKE PADS. THE TRUCK HAD 65,757 MILES ON THE TRUCK.PARTS TOOK 6 DAYS TO ORDER. THE BILL WAS $2,300. NISSAN HONORED WARRANTY ON THE DRIVE SHAFT. TOTAL BILL WAS $1,232,48. THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY THE BRAKE LINER DETACHING FROM THE BACKING PLATE, THE LOOSE BRAKE PAD CAUSED THE DESTRUCTION. OTHER WORK PERFORMED WAS REPAIR OF THE EVAP SYSTEM. *TR

MY REAR AXEL DIFFERENTIAL ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN SE LEAKED GEAR OIL FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 3 YEARS. MY TRUCK HAD 59,900 MILES WHEN IT OCCURRED FOR THE SECOND TIME. I CALLED NISSAN MOTOR COMPANY. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR. I HAD TO REPAIR THE TRUCK AT MY EXPENSE DUE TO NISSANS BAD DESIGNED OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AXEL (SEALS). *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN 55,000 MILES..REAR SEAL LEAKING FLUID, DEALER SAID IT WAS A POORLY MADE AXLE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AS I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. COST $822...LOST TRACTION ON THE FRONT WHEELS YESTERDAY MORNING DURING SNOW STORM. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING. MECHANIC SAID WE WERE LUCKY THE WHEEL DIDN'T COME OFF ON THE DRIVE THERE. LOTS OF TITAN OWNERS SAYING DEFECT ON FRONT AXLE ALSO...TRUCK IS STILL IN THE SHOP AND THEY WANT $1,100 TO REPLACE THIS AXLE AND GROUND UP PINION OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. WE HAVE ALSO HAD THIS TRUCK IN THE SHOP TO FIX 3 OTHER SAFETY RECALLS. WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US. DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN IS NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

AT AROUND 106,00 MILES THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO DESTROY ABS SENSOR AND PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY. 2,000 MILES LATER PASSENGER SIDE REAR SEAL BLEW OUT AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL TOTALLY LOCKED UP. THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN DEFECT THAT NISSAN SIMPLY WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE. THIS REPAIR ENDED UP COSTING AROUND $4,100 TO REPAIR AT MY EXPENSE, ON TOP OF THE $900 PAID PREVIOUSLY TO REPAIR ORIGINAL SEAL FAILURE. *LN

DRIVING WHEN I HEARD NOISES FROM BACK OF TRUCK 2004 NISSAN TITAN STOPPED AND CHECKED , CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND FOUND OUT I HAD BLEW REAR AXLE SEAL AND THE PIN FROM THE REAR END AND NOW I NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR END CALLED NISSAN THEY SAID 2006 WAS CORRECTED AND TO LOOK FOR ALUMINUM COVER ONES BECAUSE THE STEEL COVER ONES WERE THE OLD VERSION. YES THERE ARE 339 COMPLAINTS ON HERE FOR POWERTRAIN ISSUES FOR 2004 TITAN. THANKS. *TR

AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING THAT CAN CAUSE IMPROPER REAR BRAKING. NISSAN HASNT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE AS A RECALL BUT SEVERAL ISSUES HAS BEEN NOTED.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL BEARING FAILURE RESULTING IN RING AND PINION DAMAGE

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION AND HEARD A LOUD TICKING NOISE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND DURING THE ENGINE INITIAL START-UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY INFORMED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD EXHIBITED A SEVERE CRACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED WHICH CAUSED THE EXHAUST FUMES TO ESCAPE INTO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT IF THE MANIFOLD WAS REPLACED BUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS NOT, THE MANIFOLD WOULD CRACK AGAIN. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED.

REAR AXLE SEALS LEAK. *TR

I DROVE ABOUT 20 FEET WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND REALIZED I HAD FOGOT THE PARKING BRAKE ON. I TOOK IT OFF AND DROVE AWAY. THE NEXT DAY I HEARD MORE NOISE AND ONE OF MY REAR BRAKES SEEMED TO BE DRAGGING. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. ON THE HIGHWAY, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE WITH CRAZY NOISE AND GRINDING, THEN IT WENT AWAY. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE WAY TO DEALER. WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT I LIMPED THE CAR INTO THE DEALER WITH NO EMERGENCY BRAKES WORKING. THANKFULLY WE WERE ALL OKAY AND I DID NOT LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE AT LEAST $1,700 TO FIX IT AS THE WHOLE REAR AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE SEALS BLOWING OUT AND LEAKING OUT ALL OVER THE PADS. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR BRAKES, BRAKES AND MORE BRAKE ISSUES. I THINK THE E BRAKE BEING ON MAY HAVE CAUSED THE SEAL TO BLOW OUT THEN THE AXLE AND BRAKES JUST MELTED. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLES BRAKE DESIGN. IF THESE SEALS ARE KNOW TO BE BAD BY NISSAN THEY SHOULD AT LEAST RECOMMEND REPLACING THEM SO OWNERS CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES AND AVOID ACCIDENTS,

2004 NISSAN TITAN EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED. BOTH SIDES, CAUSING EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. NISSAN REFUSING TO SETTLE THE CLAIM DUE TO VEHICLE BEING OVER WARRANTY MILEAGE OF 8/80K. STEP UP AND MAKE THIS A RECALL FOR NISSAN!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING A 2004 NISSAN TITAN APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THE MOTOR CUT OFF AND I COASTED TO A STOP. THE MOTOR RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND I ATTEMPTED TO GET TO A REPAIR SHOP. AFTER DRIVING APPROX 3 MILES, THE MOTOR CUT OFF AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND DROVE APPROX 1 MILE TO A REPAIR SHOP. AFTER LEAVING THE REPAIR SHOP, I CALLED TWO NISSAN DEALERS AND BOTH SAID THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE A RECALL THAT NISSAN HAD PLANNED FOR EARLY DEC 2010. ONE OF THEM SUGGESTED THAT I HAVE THE REPAIR SHOP RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TO SEE IF ANYTHING SHOWED AS A PROBLEM. IF NOTHING SHOWED THEN IT WAS PROBABLY RELATED TO THE SCHEDULED RECALL. I CONTACTED THE REPAIR SHOP AND RELAYED THE INFO. AFTER RUNNING THE DIAGNOSTIC, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO WARNINGS. I HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS ABOUT DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH AN ENGINE THAT WILL JUST CUT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WHEN I ASKED THE TWO DEALERS WHAT COULD BE DONE, I WAS TOLD NOT MUCH SINCE THE RECALL ISN'T DUE TO GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL DEC AND THAT THEY (THE DEALERS) HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED TO NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL DEC. IT APPEARS THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT CHOOSES TO IGNORE THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES. *TR

THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE REPLACED WITH OEM 2 YEARS AGO. THEY ARE NOW LEAKING AGAIN ALLOWING GEAR LUBE TO RUN DOWN THE TUBES ONTO THE REAR BRAKES AND TIRES. RENDERING THE REAR BRAKES AND PARKING BRAKES USELESS AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS MAKES THE PARKING BRAKE USELESS PUTTING THE WHOLE TRUCKS WEIGHT CONSTANTLY ON THE PARK PIN OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS REAR BRAKE LOSS CAUSED BRAKE FADE OF THE FRONT BRAKE COMING OFF AN INTERSTATE NEARLY REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. I SAW ON THE FORUMS AND YOUR OWN COMPLAINT SEARCH THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON AND DANGEROUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. THE PROBLEM MUST LAY IN THE AXLES AND NOT THE SEAL THEMSELVES TO BE GOING SO OFTEN. I TOW SOMETIMES AND THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER SO I MUST FIX THE PROBLEM ASAP. I HAVE TO REPLACE BRAKES AND ROTORS ALL THE WAY AROUND ALONG WITH PARKING SHOES AXLE SEALS AND BEARING RETAINERS. THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE.

2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEALS (LEFT AND RIGHT) SHOWING SIGN OF LEAKAGE AT 90,100 MILES. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JULY 2006 WITH 51, 100 MILES AND DISCOVERED BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING. NISSAN REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE IN JULY 2006. NOW 5 YEARS AND 39,000 MILES LATER THE PROBLEM RETURNED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE HESISTATED AND JERKED BEFORE ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. WHEN THE CONTACT EXAMINED THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS MIXING WITH THE RADIATOR COOLANT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL CRACK THAT CAUSED THE MIXING. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 51,200. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION LINE BLEW AND FLUID LEAKED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 108,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED HE ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE MADE A GRINDING NOISE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADVISED HIM THAT BOTH REAR AXLES SEALS WERE BLOWN AND SATURATED WITH OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,167.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY FAILED AND COULD NOT BE MOVED FROM PARK. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER FULFILLED THE RECALL REPAIR UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V408000 (POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:COLUMN SHIFT ASSEMBLY ). THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT ANY REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE WOULD BE AT THE CONTACTS EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,891.

EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKED AND LEAKING EXHAUST INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. *TR

FAILURE OF CRACKED MANIFOLD EXHAUST WITH BUILT IN CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAVE CRACKED 3 MANIFOLD EXHAUST DUE TO THE FACT THAT NISSAN DID NOT INSTALL FLEX PIPES IN THEIR EXHAUST SYSTEM. IT IS HAPPENING ON ALL THE TITAN TRUCKS...LOOK AT THE FORUMS AND MY DEALER HAS CONFIRMED IT. EXHAUST IS LEAKING INTO THE CAB AREA. IT COST OVER $900 TO JUST REPAIR THE PART. THEY WILL NOT FIX IT! IT IS LEAKING STRAIGHT EXHAUST FUMES.

PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN IN APRIL 2010 WITH 82K ON THE ENGINE. IN MAY 2010, I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN FOR A RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD 82,528 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WERE LEAKING AND QUOTED MY $1800.00 FOR THE REPAIR. I NOW SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF EXHAUST FUMES COMING INTO THE CAB. THE FUMES CAUSE NAUSEA AND HEADACHES. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS TOPIC ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON DEFECT AMONG 2004 THRU 2007 NISSAN TITANS. THERE HAS YET TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I CONTINUALLY SEE PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ISSUE ON INTERNET FORUMS. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART. THE LEAK IS ALSO HAZARDOUS TO THE ENVIRONMENT. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE EPA AS WELL. *TR

I NOTICE OIL ON THE REAR TIRES AND RUNNING INTO THE REAR ROTOR WHICH COULD LEAD TO BREAKING FAILURE. MY MECHANIC SAID THE REAR AXLE SEALS AND PINION SEAL WERE BAD SO I HAD THEM REPLACE RIGHT AFTER I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE WITH ONLY 30,000 AND JUST NOW I GOT NEW TIRES AND THAT'S WHEN I FIND OUT IT'S BEEN LEAKING ALL THIS TIME NOW WITH 104,000 MILES. LOOK ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 04 NISSAN TITAN. NO RECALL... *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING AT 60,000 MILES CAUSING OIL TO GET ON BRAKES. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK HAS STALLED FOLLOWED BY A LOUD THUD FROM THE TRANSMISSION - ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON, AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTS, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AND ONLY ONE GEAR IS AVAILABLE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. ALSO HAVE HAD SOME PROBLEMS STARTING THE VEHICLE SINCE THE FIRST 2 OCCURRENCES ON THE HIGHWAY. REPLACING THE IPDM AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN SE 4X4 HAS A KNOWN REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM WHICH LEADS TO FAILURE. REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS LEAKING ONTO BRAKES/ROTOR. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER TOWED ANYTHING AND ONLY HAS 58,000 MILES. NISSAN DEALER SAYS PAST WARRANTY BUT ADMIT KNOWN PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT NISSAN DIRECTLY. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID HAS METAL IN IT. UNSAFE CONDITIONS ON ALL EARLY MODELS OF THIS TRUCK AND NISSAN IS AVOIDING THE ISSUE THEY NEED TO HAVE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

PULLING OUT OF MY APARTMENT'S PARKING LOT WHEN STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN BY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AS IF IT HAD NO PRESSURE. AS THE PEDAL HIT THE FLOOR A LOUD GRINDING SOUND CAME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF, STARTED IT BACK UP AND EVERYTHING WORKED OK. WENT DOWN THE STREET A LITTLE MORE AND BAM HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME IN TRAFFIC. IF AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER HAS THIS ISSUE THIS CAN AND WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OR PEOPLE. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL SEALS LEAKING REPEATEDLY. DEALERSHIP HAD REPLACED ENTIRE REAR AXLE AT 25,000 MILES. 116,000 MILES SEALS LEAKING AGAIN. COST TO REPAIR ESTIMATED AT $900.00 TO $3000.00. UNABLE TO JUST REPLACE LEAKING SEAL, MUST REPLACE ENTIRE PORTION OF AXLE ASSEMBLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED BY THE DEALER WHEN THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING. FIVE YEARS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE ENTIRE REAR ASSEMBLY REPLACED DUE TO THE SAME FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

SEPT 27 2010 TRAVELING HOME FROM W.V FROM CAMPING. WE WAS ON I - 77 S BOUND AT MILE MAKER 10 IN FANCY GAP. WE SMELLED SOMETHING FUNNY. I LOOKED AT MY RIGHT MIRROR AND SAW WHITE GRAY SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE BACK OF MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK. I PULLED OVER AND WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE I HAD NONE, DUE FROM THE HEAT OF THE FIRE, I GOT OUT AND SAW MY DRIVERS SIDE UNDER THE FENDER ON FIRE. I HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERYWHERE. TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD SPRAYED ON THE MANIFOLD AND CAUGHT FIRE, THEN THE GAS LINE RUPTURED. I HAD A TRANSMISSION FLUID AND GAS FIRE. THANK GOD I HAD A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AS WELL AS ANOTHER MAN STOP TO HELP PUT IT OUT, IT TOOK TWO FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT THE FIRE OUT, ONE WASN'T ENOUGH.WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THE REASON WHY MY TRUCK DIDN'T BLOW UP WAS BECAUSE I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. WELL I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD A RUPTURE IN MY TRANSMISSION LINE AND THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE, FAULTY LINE. I FIND OUT LATER THAT THEY HAD A TECHNICAL BULLETIN OUT ON THE 2004-2005 ARMADA AND TITAN DATED AUG 1 2005.I HAD MY TRUCK IN FOR A TRANSMISSION FLUSH 45 DAYS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED AND NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE BULLETIN.NO ONE ASKED ME IF I WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE MY LINES AND CLAMPS. I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BULLETIN UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHEN I DID RESEARCH. IF THEY HAD TOLD ME ABOUT THIS, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND I AM TRYING TO WORK WITH THEM. I HOPE THEY DO THE RIGHT THING ABOUT FIXING MY TRUCK AND PAYING MY TOW BILLS. THE WEIRD THING IS I TRIED TO GET THE VA STATE TROOP TO DO A REPORT AND HE SAID THEY DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKS LEFT AND RIGHT. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN WAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON FLAT SAND. IT WAS ENGAGED IN 4WD. SIMPLY DRIVING OFF THE BEACH, THE FRONT LEFT AXLE DISCONNECTED FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL AND LEAKED ALL THE FLUID . I DID NOT NOTICE THIS UNTIL I WAS ON THE STREET. THE DEALER SAID THAT NISSAN CREATED AN UPGRADE FOR IT BUT IT WAS NOT WARRANTY. LUCKILY I DID NOT DRIVE WITH IT LIKE THIS HOME. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED MY VEHICLES AND NOT ABUSE THEM. IN NO WAY WAS THIS A ACTION THAT TESTED THE LIMITS OF MY VEHICLES DESIGN. THE AXLE SIMPLY POPPED OUT. *TR

THE REAR UNIVERSAL JOINT HAS FAILED. I TOOK TO THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION ON OR ABOUT 9/2/10 AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE U-JOINT HAD 3 BIG PIECES OF METAL LAYING IN THE BOTTOM OF THE HOUSING. I THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO HUBLER NISSAN IN INDIANAPOLIS, IN AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONFIRMED THE PREVIOUS FINDINGS. HUBLER STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE REAR AXLE. THE APPROX. COST WOULD BE $2,500-$3,000. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. I BEGAN HAVING HUMMING SOUND FROM UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 20MPH APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO. THE HUMMING HAS RECENTLY TURNED INTO A MUCH LOUDER WHINING NOISE, SO I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO NISSAN FOR EVALUATION. THEY CLAIM MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS BAD AND THE ENTIRE REAR END NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR REAR DIFFERENTIALS ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. I PERFORMED A REAR END FLUID CHANGE AND FOUND SEVERAL PIECES OF METAL IN THE OIL. THE PIECES LOOKED LIKE TEETH FROM GEARS. NISSAN CLAIMS THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE. DUE TO THE $3000+ PRICE TAG FOR REPLACING THE ENTIRE REAR END, NISSAN RECOMMENDED I GET A NEW TRUCK. I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE AWARE OF A PROBLEM, BUT DO NOT WANT TO ADMIT IT THUS FAR. I BELIEVE A REAR END FAILURE COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND OR CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICULAR CONTROL. *TR

BRAKES MINIMALLY EFFECTIVE WITHOUT PRIOR BRAKE LIGHT INDICATING A PROBLEM. BRAKE PEDAL CHATTERED. NOISE PRODUCED ASSOCIATED WITH CHATTER FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER PROBLEM STARTED. *TR

JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON IN THE DASH AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR. YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE BRAKES AND IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. IF YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE IT GOES AWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR OR SO. IM TAKING IT TO A NISSAN DEALER NEXT WEEK AND THEY SAY ITS GOING TO COST ME 100 DOLLARS TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF ITS THAT BIG OF A PROBLEM SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL ON THIS AND NISSAN HAVE TO PAY FOR IT? *TR

REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. REAR DIFF FLUID IS GETTING ON REAR DISC BRAKES, BRAKING INHIBITED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. FIRST SEALS WERE REPLACED AT 48,000 MILES, NOW LEAKING AGAIN AT 97,000 MILES. *TR

REAR WHEEL SEAL OUT ON 2004 NISSAN TITAN 4WD. OIL GETTIN ON BRAKE COULD CAUSE FIRE. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT ON MY NISSAN TITAN 2004. DENIED BY NISSAN FOR ANY ASSISTANCE. NISSAN DENIED ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS. *TR

THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH APPROX. 36,000 MILES OF USE ON THE VEHICLE. ON SEVERAL USES I HEARD 'CLUNKING' NOISES FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. ON THE LAST TIME BEFORE TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE 'CLUNKING' NOISE WAS LIKE A GRINDING NOISE ALSO. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS PART IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT PART OF THE VEHICLES ABILITY TO OPERATE SAFELY. THIS PART FAILED WITH ONLY 36,000 MILES ON IT. CLEARLY IT IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND ACTION TO FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURIES TO OTHERS IS REQUIRED. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE RADIATOR HAD FAILED AND REPLACED IT WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION. WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT THIS THE DEALER STATED IT WAS A CRACK IN THE SEAM. *TR

BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING AT 51,000 MILES SO THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE DIFF OIL LEAKS ONTO REAR BRAKES. NOW THEY ARE BOTH LEAKING AGAIN AT 76,000. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK. A REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD IT LEAK. DIFFERENTIAL GEAR OIL LEAKS, WHICH COULD GET ON THE BRAKES. THE FIRST TIME, I HAD TO REPLACE THE DIFFERENTIAL WHICH ALSO FAILED. I REPLACED THE SEAL AND BEARINGS. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I WILL BE REPLACING THEM. IF I HAD NOT CHECKED IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE, AS OIL COULD GET ON THE BRAKES. ALSO, DUE TO NISSAN'S POLICY OF NOT SELLING REAR END PARTS (IN THE DIFFERENTIAL) I HAD TO BUY A WHOLE NEW REAR END THE FIRST TIME. I DID NOT SAVE THE OLD PARTS. *TR

MY NISSAN TITAN CREWS BRAKES WERE NOT PERFORMING WELL ON A TRIP I TOOK. AFTER GETTING HOME I NOTICED OIL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AT BOTH REAR BRAKES. THE REAR DIFF. WAS LEAKING ALL OVER THE BRAKE BACKING PLATE TO THE EXTENT THAT OIL WAS BEING SLUNG THROUGHOUT THE WHEEL WELL THE REAR AXLE HAS FAILED THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SEAL REQUIRED REPLACEMENT DUE TO EXCESSIVE LEAKAGE WHEN I PARKED THE TRUCK IT HAD MOVED SEVERAL INCHES BACK UNTIL ANOTHER GEAR ENGAGED THE PROBLEM IS NOT DESIGN ITSELF IT IS THE QUALITY OF THE METAL BEING USED FOR THE GEARS I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN LOOSE GRAVEL AND I FELT AN UNUSUALLY FEELING IN MY REAR AXEL, SO I DROVE THE VEHICLE SLOWLY HOME NEVER FELT IT UNTIL I ARRIVED TO MY HOME AND THEN I PARKED IT. I THEN CALLED A TRANSMISSION MECHANIC AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP. THE REPAIR SHOP CALLED AND TRIED TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR MY REAR AXLE AND WHERE UNABLE TO. SO THEY HAD TO GET A HOLE NEW REAR AXLE NOT JUST NEW PARTS BUT A COMPLETELY NEW REAR AXLE. THE NEW REAR AXLE IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL, WHICH MAKES ME AND THE MECHANIC THAT OWNS THE REPAIR SHOP BELIEVE THAT THE ORIGINAL REAR AXLE WAS FAULTY. OTHER WISE WHY WOULDN'T THE REAR END BE THE SAME AND BE ABLE TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE OLD REAR AXLE LIKE YOU CAN WITH MOST VEHICLES. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FELL TO THE FLOOR AND I HEARD A GRINDING/CLICKING NOISE. THE TRUCK WAS ALMOST UNABLE TO STOP BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I PULLED BACK INTO THE PARKING LOT AND INSPECTED THE BRAKE ASSEMBLIES AND MADE SURE THERE WAS FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR. I CYCLED THE IGNITION SYSTEM A FEW TIMES AND STARTED BACK UP. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR THE TIME BEING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPLIED BRAKES , BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND METAL TO METAL SOUND HEARD IN FRONT END BRAKES, I STOPPED NOTICED BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ON . I TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED .THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO WORKING NORMAL . THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS INVOLVING THIS SAME SITUATION AND IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED ARE KILLED. I HAVE MADE APPOINTMENT WITH NISSAN DEALER. VEHICLE MILEAGE IS 40,000. *TR

THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO MY FRONT END AXLE FAILURE WAS DUE TO SLIGHT USE OF THE 4WD IN MILD SNOW CONDITIONS THE FIRST TIME. I HAD IT REPAIRED BY A FACTORY NISSAN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OCCUR LESS THAN 30,000 MILES LATER. NISSAN IS SAYING ITS NOT THEIR FAULT BUT I WAS NOT ABUSING THE 4WD SIMPLY JUST USING IT. BASICALLY THE FRONT LEFT AXLE BREAKS A CLIP AND THE AXLE SHAFT GOING INTO THE DIFFERENTIAL SLIDES DOWN. OVER TIME UNNOTICED I'M SURE THIS COULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE FRONT END COMPONENTS UNTIL A CATASTROPHIC STEERING/WHEEL FAILURE. I WILL BE TRYING TO CONTACT NISSAN TO GET THEIR STORY OF WHY THIS KEEPS OCCURRING. *TR

WHILE LOADING TRUCK FOR A VACATION TRIP, I NOTICED A LARGE BULGE COMING UP THROUGH THE TRUCK BED IN THE LEFT REAR PORTION. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE LEFT REAR SHACKLE HOLDING HOLDING THE LEAF SPRING TO THE FRAME SNAPPED IN HALF. THE TRUCK IS A GARAGE KEPT, 35,000 MILE LIMITED PERSONAL USE VEHICLE. IF I HAD NOT BEEN GOING AWAY, THE SPRING WOULD HAVE PUSHED ITS WAY THROUGH THE BED. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN TITAN 2004 THAT I HAD FOR 3 YEARS. THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS EVERYTHING WAS FINE, BUT THEN MY BRAKES WOULD MAKE THIS WEIRD SOUND WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I COULD NOT HIT THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY BECAUSE IT WOULD FEEL LIKE IF THEY WERE LOCK.. I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND TURN ON AGAIN ,AND THE PROBLEM WOULD FIX IT SELF. AFTER A COUPLE OF TIMES THAT IT KEPT DOING THAT , I DECIDED TO TAKE TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SENSOR LIGHT NEEDED TO BE RESTED AND THAT THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE SOLVE. A COUPLE AMONTHS LATER IT'S STARTED DRIVING IT AGAIN. IT WOULD MAYBE HAPPENS EVERY OTHER MONTH . I USED TO ALWAYS TAKE THE TRUCK TO GET MY OIL CHANGE AT THE NISSAN DEALER SHOP AND SINCE THE DOS COURTESY CHECK THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CV AXLES NEEDED SOME WORK DONE BECAUSE SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THEM. OF COURSE THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME A LOT, SO I HAD TO SAY NO. NOW I HAVE A TRUCK THAT NEEDS TO HAVE WORK DONE AND VERY EXPENSIVE. NOW I CAN SEE OIL LEAKAGE AT THE WHEEL BEARING. MY TRUCK DID NOT PASSED INSPECTION THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF THAT PROBLEM, SO REGISTER MY TRUCK AT ANOTHER CITY AND IT PASSED CUZ THEY WERE NOT CHECKING THOSE THINGS. I HAVE HEARD AND READ COUPLE OF THE SAME ISSUES THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE BACK CV AXLE SEALS AND BEARINGS. WHY WOULD I BE SPENDING MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT I WOULD LEAST EXPECTED. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THIS ISSUE BE INVESTIGATED. I GOT 2 KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF 3 AND I'M VERY CONCERN ON THEIR SAFETY. IF NISSAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS , THEY NEED TO TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED TO THE GROUND ON 7/29/10 AT 4:30PM. IT ALL STARTED AS I WAS BACKING UP AND I NOTICED AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW SMOKE AND INSPECTED IT CLOSER AND NOTICED THAT THE SMOKE WAS BLOOMING FROM AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT WHICH APPEARED TO BE THE COMPUTER. I TOOK SOME VIDEO OF IT AS PROOF OF WHAT WAS GOING ON NOT KNOWING THAT MY TRUCK WOULD BE ENGULFED IN FLAMES MINUTES LATER. THE VIDEO IS CLEAR THAT IT WAS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I TRIED TO STOP IT BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY BUT THAT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. LATER MY FIRE INSPECTOR SAID IT WAS NISSANS BCM THAT FAILED! HE WAS VERY HAPPY HAD THE VIDEO OTHERWISE HE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY. HE SAID THE VIDEO IS REALLY CLEAR AND APPARENT WHAT HAPPENED. NISSAN NEVER RECALLED JUST SENT SERVICE BULLETINS. MY INSURANCE MAY COVER THE REMAINDER OF THE LOAN BUT THAT DOES NOT PUT ME ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN ON THIS MATTER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO LET MY INSURANCE DEAL WITH IT, WHICH I EXPLAINED ABOVE HOW THAT DOES NOT WORK FOR ME. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS NISSANS FAULT AND THEY SHOULD HELP ME BUT THEY ARE NOT. APPARENTLY I NEED TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY THAT DEALS WITH FIRE AND I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE, WHICH I CAN NOT AFFORD. I TOLD NISSAN I HAD THE VIDEO BUT THEY DID NOT CARE. YOU WOULD THINK AFTER ALL THE TOYOTA INCIDENTS THAT THEY MAY HELP ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAD THE VIDEO OF PROOF AND THEY DID NOT . I HAVE SENT THE VIDEO AND ALL PICTURES I HAVE TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AS WELL BUT ALL THEY WILL PROBABLY GET IS THE MONEY THEY PAID FOR LOAN. SO MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS COVERED BUT I'M LEFT OUT TO DRY. PLEASE READ THIS PART. THE FIRE INSPECTOR FOR MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND AN OUTSIDE INDEPENDENT FIRE INSPECTOR HAVE CONCLUDED IT WAS THE BCM ( BODY CONTROL MODULE). NISSAN KNEW OF THE PROBLEM BUT JUST SENT OUT SERVICE LETTERS AND NOT RECALLS. MY INSURANCE WILL BE PURSUING NISSAN AS WELL ! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE WOULD VIOLENTLY SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ROTORS WERE OUT OF ROUND. THE BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED AND THE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE RECURRED A FEW MORE TIMES AND THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED AND UNKNOWN BRAKE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR. HE STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY SEVEN TIMES FOR THE BRAKE FAILURE WHERE THE ROTORS WOULD BE RESURFACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

2004 NISSAN TITAN 67000 MILES, DRIVING ON REGULAR ROAD IN GOOD REPAIR, REAR DIFFERENTIAL STARTING MAKING NOISE. NEXT DAY, DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP. INSPECTION SHOWED BROKEN TEETH ON RING AND PINION GEARS. *TR

DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, ENGINE JUST STOPPED. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD. NISSAN DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS FAILED IPDM (INTERGRATED POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE). NEW PART SEEMS TO HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM. DEALERS MECHANIC SAID THE FACTORY TOLD HIM THEY HAD EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THESE PARTS. IT'S VERY UNNERVING TO HAVE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF ON A BUSY 6 LANE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE IS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. *TR

REAR AXLE SEALS BEGAN TO LEAK AT 75000 MILES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY AT ALL TIMES. THE NISSAN DEALER NOTICE THE LEAK DURING AN INSPECTION. NUMEROUS FORUMS HAVE COMPLAINTS OF THE AXLE SEALS FAILING DUE TO IMPROPER VENTING. LEAKAGE OF GEAR OIL ONTO REAR BRAKES PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD TO MY FAMILY. REQUEST NISSAN REPLACE AXLE SEALS AND DO A RECALL TO REENGINEER A NEW VENTING SYSTEM FOR AXLE SEALS. *TR

PASSENGER REAR AXLE SEAL FLUID LEAK ONTO REAR BRAKES. *TR

NISSAN TITAN 2004 4X4SE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT BAD AND NEEDS REPAIR.WAS REPAIRED FOR AXLE LEAK ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO BY DEALER AND REPLACED DIFFERENTIAL COVER AND FLUID BUT AM NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM IN JUST ABOUT ALL YEAR TITANS WHETHER THEY ARE 2 OR 4 WHEEL DRIVE. *TR

THE REAR AXLE SEALS (BOTH) ON MY 2004 STARTED LEAKING AT 56,000 MILES. THE LEAK OCCURRED AT 5 YEARS AND 4 MONTHS SO THE DEALER DENIED ANY WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS VEHICLE IS USED FOR MOSTLY FOR LOCAL TRIPS WITH OCCASIONAL TRAILER TOWING THAT IS WELL WITHIN THE DESIGN LIMITS AS ADVERTISED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IN REPLACING THE SEALS IT WAS NOTED THAT THEY APPEAR TO SPIN IN THE AXLE HOUSING THUS WEARING OFF THE OUTER SEALING SURFACE. IT APPEARS THAT THE ONLY PROVISION TO PREVENT THIS IS THE CLAMPING ACTION OF THE BEARING RETAINER THAT SANDWICHES THE SEAL BETWEEN IT AND THE BEARING WHICH IS THEN FORCED AGAINST A SHOULDER IN THE AXLE HOUSING. PREVIOUS DESIGNS OF THIS AXLE, AS USED BY OTHER MANUFACTURERS, PRESSED THE SEAL INTO THE RETAINER AND THEN SEALED THE RETAINER TO THE HOUSING WITH A GASKET. LEAKS SUCH AS I EXPERIENCED WERE ALMOST NON-EXISTENT. WHILE THE LEAK IS MOSTLY ANNOYING, IT DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CONTAMINATE THE BRAKES THUS IMPAIRING THE STOPPING ABILITY OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE BRAKES ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 1.5 YEARS. NISSAN ADMITS THERE IS A PROBLEM, AND PROVIDED AN UPGRADE KIT THE CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR. I HAVE THE UPGRADE KIT THE LAST 3 TIMES THE BRAKES WERE CHANGED, AND THEY STILL GO BAD. THIS MORNING WITHOUT WARNING THE CALIPER DOVE IN THE ROTOR, AND I NEARLY WENT' THRU AN INTERSECTION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE VEHICLE NOW. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BRAKES ON THESE TRUCKS. WHEN WILL THE DOT MAKE NISSAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? *TR

I HAVE JUST HAD THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAIL ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN AT 95K MILES. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN USED FOR TOWING BUT ONLY ABOUT 5 TIMES A YEAR. IT HAS A TOW PACKAGE AND MOST OF THE MILES ON IT ARE HIGHWAY MILES. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN SPIDER GEARS BUSTED, WORKING ON GETTING IT FIXED NOW. *TR

WHILE PULLING MY BOAT TO THE LAKE YESTERDAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY 2004 TITAN 4X4 KING CAB (MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 78,000), THE ABS, SLIP, AND VDC LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. BEFORE I COULD REACH AN EXIT TO PULL OFF, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A MATTER OF LESS THAN 3 MINUTES. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RE-FIRE. UPON INSPECTION, I NOTICED SMOKE POURING FROM REAR PASSENGER WHEEL WELL. I GOT ALL OCCUPANTS OUT OF THE TRUCK AND WHEN I RETURNED SECONDS LATER, I SPOTTED A FIRE COMING FROM THE WIRING HARNESS JUST WHERE IT GOES OVER THE FRAME RAIL IN THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL WELL. LUCKILY I HAD A FIRE EXTINGUISHER ON THE BOAT AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT BEFORE CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK, MY FAMILY OR PASSERS-BY. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE INSPECTED AND THEY "BELIEVE" A NEW WIRING HARNESS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE "NO IDEA" HOW A FIRE COULD HAVE HAPPENED. A "BELIEF" THAT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED IS NOT COMFORTING. *TR

FAILURE OF REAR DIFFERENTIAL. 2004 TITAN PURCHASED 8/04. IN 8/05 WHILE IN WASHINGTON STATE ON VACATION, NOTICED 3-4 MPG DROP IN GAS MILEAGE. CRAWLED UNDER TRUCK LOOKING FOR GAS LEAK AND FOUND DIFFERENTIAL FLUID HAD SHOT OUT OF FRONT SEAL AND FLUID WAS LOW. ADDED FLUID PER OWNERS MANUAL AND BROUGHT TO A DEALER. DEALER SAID I USED WRONG FLUID AND SHOULD HAVE USED SYNTHETIC. AT THIS POINT NISSAN REALIZED THEY HAD A HEAT PROBLEM AND SWITCHED TO SYNTHETIC AND INSTALLED FINNED DIFFERENTIAL COVERS (WHICH I NOTICED WERE ON THE 2005 MODELS IN THEIR LOT). I TOLD THE DEALER THEY WERE COVERING UP A HEAT PROBLEM ON THE 2004 MODEL AND WANTED AN INSPECTION. THEY REFUSED SINCE THEY DIDN'T SEE A PROBLEM. INSTALLED MAG-HYTECH COVER MYSELF. PERIODICALLY HAD OIL SHOOT OUT OF VENT ON AXLE TUBE AND ALL OVER TIRE. DEALER SAID THAT WAS NORMAL. 4/17/08 AT 41000 MILES RIGHT AXLE SEAL FAILURE, DEALER FIXED. 10/13/09 AT 52589 MILES LEFT AXLE SEAL FAILURE, CONVINCED NISSAN CORPORATE TO FIX AND THEY DID. FOUND FIX ON-LINE FOR BAD AXLE VENT DESIGN, ADDED VENT HOSE AND FILTER BUT STILL HAD FLUID COMING OUT. 3/8/10 AT 55900 LOTS OF METAL ON DIPSTICK, CHANGED FLUID AND PIECES OF SPIDER GEAR CAME OUT WITH FLUID. 3/16/10 AT 55919 BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION HOPING TO GET NISSAN TO REPAIR DIFFERENTIAL. NISSAN REFUSED SINCE "TOO EXPENSIVE AND THERE WASN'T A RECALL ANYWAY", ONE OF THE DUMBER COMMENTS I'VE EVER HEARD. 3/22/10 AT 55924 HAD 4X4 SHOP REPAIR DIFFERENTIAL. SHOP SHOWED ME NISSAN HAD INSTALLED WRONG BOLTS IN DIFFERENTIAL. SHOULDER ON BOLTS WAS TOO SHORT AND ONLY HIT ONE SIDE OF SPIDER GEAR ASSEMBLY FLANGE, WITH OTHER SIDE RIDING ON THE THREADS. BOLTS EVENTUALLY BACKED OUT CAUSING SPIDER GEARS TO SELF-DESTRUCT. COST ME $2100 TO REPAIR, EXISTING RING AND PINION WERE IN GOOD SHAPE INSPITE OF ISSUES. REPLACED DIFFERENTIAL ASSY WITH DETROIT TRUE TRAC. SHOP USED BOLTS FROM ANOTHER DANA DIFFERENTIAL AND CUT LENGTH TO FIT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE BRAKES STARTED TO PULSATE. THE CONTACT DROVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES WERE WORN OUT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES AND ONE WEEK LATER THE BRAKES STARTED TO PULSATE WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK IF THE FAILURE PERSIST. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RISK WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PULSATING. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO TAKE THE COMPLAINT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SENSOR MAY HAVE CAUSED THE BRAKES TO MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000. UPDATED 11/11/10 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT BEGAN TO PULSATE AS IF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGED AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. UPDATED 11/18/18*JB

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OF MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN FAILED TODAY WHILE TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. I LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND WAS NEARLY SIDESWIPED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM AWARE OF AT LEAST 75 OTHER CASES OF THIS SAME FAILURE. MY DEALER WANTS $3300 TO FIX IT AND I ONLY HAVE 49,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

HELLO. I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHEN HAVING THE VEHICLE CHECKED FOR SAFETY, WE NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE REAR AXLE SEALS ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE WERE LEAKING. THE SEAL LOOKED TO HAVE LEAD A FAIRLY LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL THAT WAS SATURATING THE RIM AND ALSO SOAKED THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER LOOKING AT THE CAR FAX IN NOTICED THAT THIS SAME VEHICLE HAD A REAR AXLE SEAL REPLACE IN JANUARY. I CANNOT BE CERTAIN THIS SEAL WAS THE SAME SEAL AS THE ONE IN JANUARY. THE VEHICLE HAS 68000 MILES ON IT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON TITAN TALK.COM I NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FROM THIS TRUCK. I AM NOT SURE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT BUT I DO FEEL LIKE THIS COULD TURN INTO A SAFETY ISSUE CONSIDERING NOT ONLY THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT THAT WHEN THIS PROBLEM DOES OCCUR, IT SATURATES THE RIMS, TIRES AND BRAKES WITH OIL. *TR

THE LEAF SPRING BOLT BROKE AND CAUSED THE REAR AXEL LEAF SPRING TO SHOOT THROUGH THE BED OF THE TRUCK. ON INSPECTION THE OTHER LEAF SPRING WAS READY TO ALSO BREAK. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHILE TURNING A CORNER ON THE ROAD. PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE SHACKLE, CLIPS, SPRING ASSEMBLE, BOLTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALL PARTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SINCE THE OTHER ONE WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE ALSO. ALL PARTS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW PARTS AT OUR EXPENSE. NISSAN STATED IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. HOWEVER, SEVERAL MASTER MECHANICS STATED THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN. *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN, AND I NOTICED OIL ON MY REAR WHEELS, AND ON THE FLOOR BELOW BOTH OF MY REAR BRAKES. THE OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AT BOTH ENDS OF THE AXLE. THE OIL WAS LEAKING ALL OVER THE BRAKE BACKING PLATE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED BOTH REAR WHEEL BEARINGS AND SEALS. I TURNED THIS INTO NISSAN,AND THEY RE-EMBERSED ME FOR THE REPAIR. I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON ON THE 2004 NISSAN TITAN, AND I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE REAR BRAKES DO NOT OPERATE WELL NOW THAT THE OIL WAS ON THE BRAKES. AT THE TIME, I HAD APPROXIMATELY 75000 MILES ON THE TRUCK, AND DON'T TOW OR USE FOR HEAVY USE. I DRIVE THIS AS I WOULD A CAR. ANYHOW, THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL SEAL HAS STARTED LEAKING AGAIN, AND I HAVE 90,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK NOW. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING AGAIN IN LESS THAN 3 YRS. I HAVE HAD TWO REAR ENDS IN MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND IT IS NOW LEAKING ON THE LEFT REAR. I HAVE HAD THE REAR REPLACED LAST YEAR AND NOW IT IS JUST OVER THE YR. WARRENTY FOR ANOTHER REPLACEMENT AND NISSAN IS SAYING I NEED TO HAVE THE ENTIRE REAR REPLACED AND IT IS COSTLY. *TR

DEALER CLAIMS FRONT DIFFERENTIAL C CLIP FOR PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL AXLE IS DEFECTIVE. AXLE MOVED OUTWARD APPROX. 1 INCH AND LEAKED OIL AT THAT LOCATION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 NISSAIN TITAN CREW CAB PICKUP , I NOTICE THAT MY DASH BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. I APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. I THEN PULL OVER AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND NOTICED THE LIGHT OFF AND A STRONG BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN. I NOW NOTICE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING ATLEAST 2 TO 3 TIMES A DAY. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTART SO I CAN HAVE BRAKES AGAIN. I HAVE NOT TAKEN MY TRUCK TO THE SHOP NOR REPLACE ANY PARTS REGARDING THIS MATTER. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN IN APRIL 2010, I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON MAY 6, 2010 AND WAS TOLD MY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE LEAKING. THE WARRANTY IS 8 YR/ 80K, I HAVE 82K ON MY TITAN. THE EXHAUST FUMES LEAK INTO THE CAB CAUSING NAUSEA AND DIZZINESS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER WON'T REPLACE THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. THE REPLACEMENT COST IS $2000.00. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH WITH HIS SEATBELT SECURED, BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAGS RANDOMLY DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARRANT. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE HE WAS AWAITING A DIAGNOSIS OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE MANUFACTURER WOULD BE CONTACTED AND AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD COME ASSESS THE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WERE 81,406.

TL * THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD UNUSUAL NOISE. HE THEN MOVED THE VEHICLE FROM THE ROAD AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, NOTICED THAT THE LEAF SPRINGS WERE FRACTURED THROUGH THE BED OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE CAUSED A DEFECT IN THE SUSPENSION AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LEFT AND RIGHT SHACKLES TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 97,200.

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKS; 2004 NISSAN TITAN. *TR

GAS GAUGE READS INACCURATELY. GAS GAUGE WILL DROP A 1/4 OF A TANK RANDOMLY. BROUGHT TO DEALER'S ATTENTION ON 5/16/06, NOTHING WAS EVER DONE ABOUT IT. NOW 2005-2009 MODEL YEARS ARE PART OF A RECALL BUT NOT MODEL YEAR 2004? *TR

THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHTS SHOWS THE AIRBAG IS CONSISTENTLY OFF, WHICH WOULD INDICATE TO ME THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT ACTIVATED OR THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT IS DEFECTIVE. THIS OCCURS WITH EVERY PASSENGER, INCLUDING A MALE WEIGHING 250 LBS. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK FULL WITH GAS, THE FUEL GAUGE ONLY INDICATED THE TANK IS 3/4 FULL. THIS HAPPENS VERY TIME I FILL UP. A FUEL GAUGE ISSUE COULD LEAD TO THE VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AND LEAVING MY FAMILY AND I STRANDED SOMEWHERE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

MY REAR AXLE SEALS ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN PICK-UP TRUCK LEAKED AND CAUSE THE REAR BRAKES TO FAIL. *TR

BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND BRAKES MAKE A GRINDING NOISE. IT HAPPENED 8 TIMES SINCE OWNED. THERE IS AN EXTREME CHANCE I WILL HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR

LA MARCA DEL CARRO ES NISSAN TITAN 2004 EL PROBLMA ES RELASIONADO CON LAS BOLSAS DE AIRE Y LOS SINTURONES DE SEGURIDAD , TENGO ENCENDIDA LA LUZ QUE INDICA QUE EXISTE UN PROBLEMA CON LAS BOLSAS DE AIRE Y RESPECTO A LOS CINTURONES ESTOS SE ATORAN HACIENDO MUCHA PRECION. *TR

WHEN RE-FUELING 2004 NISSAN TITAN, THE FUEL SPEWS BACK OUT THE FILLER NOZZLE ONTO OPERATORS BODY. DEALER HAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED CHARCOAL CANISTER AND FUEL TANK ON 10/ 2005, 12/2005, 1/2007, BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN - REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING. IN SHOP- WAITING FOR REPAIRS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMAON FAILURE FOR THIS TRUCK AND THAT REPAIRS MOST LIKELY WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM AS IT APPEARS THAT IT WILL PROBABLY OCCUR AGAIN. NEED RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AS BRAKES MAY FAIL. DO WE NEED WHAT HAPPENED TO TOYOTA TO HAPPEN TO NISSAN TO GET RESULTS ? ? ?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER HE FILLED THE GAS TANK, HE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT SURPASS THE 3/4 FULL MARK. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS BEFORE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 61,000.

WAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, TRUCK BASICALLY STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD UNTIL I HEARD A POPING THEN WAS ABLE TO TURN BUT 4 WHEEL DRIVE FAILED. NOW THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH MY POWER TRAIN AND FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. WENT TO A GARAGE THEY SAY MISSING A CLAMP, BUT DEALERSHIP SAYS NO CLAMP AND NOTHING WRONG THAT IT WORKS FINE. IT MOST CERTAINLY DOES NOT WORK FINE

1. THERE WERE NO SPECIFIC EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. 2. THE C-CLIP THAT HELD MY DRIVER'S SIDE AXLE IN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL OF MY 2004 4X4 NISSAN TITAN BROKE, CAUSING THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL TO FAIL. I NOTICED A LARGE PUDDLE UNDER THE TRUCK ONE EVENING AND UPON INSPECTION, FOUND THAT THE AXLE HAD SHIFTED 1/2 TO 3/4 OF AN INCH OUTSIDE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING. THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM THE RUINED SIDE SEAL CAUSED BY THE C CLIP BREAKING. 3. I FILLED THE DIFFERENTIAL UP WITH NEW OIL TO AVOID BURNING UP THE RING AND PINION (DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS ALREADY BAD AT THE TIME) SO THAT I COULD GET THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED, I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WOULD BE $1987. I CHECKED AROUND AND NO OTHER AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP COULD FIX THIS B/C THEY COULD NOT GET THE PARTS. APPARENTLY THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FOR MY TRUCK IS "CAPTIVATED" WHICH MEANS ONLY THE DEALERSHIPS CAN GET THEM. TO MY UNDERSTANDING, IT SEEMS KIND OF LIKE A MONOPOLY ON THE PARTS.

FRONT AND REAR DRIVE TRAIN NOT PROPERLY VENTED LEADING TO AXLE SEAL LEAKS ONTO BRAKES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. HE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES WERE NOT OPEARTING PROPERLY. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND HE WAS INFORMED THAT HE NEEDED NEW ROTORS. HE STATED THAT THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED ON JUNE 28, 2005. HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER HOWEVER THEY DID NOT OFFER HIM ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

2004 NISSAN 4X4 TITAN REAR DIFFERENTIAL. VEHICLE HAD 60,550 MILES ON IT AND WAS 500 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. NISSAN CHARGED ME $4000 TO FIX IT. *TR

UPON START UP PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ON DASH ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ON, HOWEVER THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT SET. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION THE BRAKES BECAME INEFFECTIVE. THE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND THERE WAS A PULSING SENSATION. IF I HAD NOT BEEN GOING LESS THAN 5MPH I AM UNSURE IF I COULD HAVE STOPPED, I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP AND PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED ALL LIGHTS AND PROBLEMS DISAPPEARED AND BRAKES FUNCTIONED OK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY LOCATED A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND/OR MASTER CYLINDER. *TR

AXEL SEAL LEAK ON A LONG 2,500 VACATION DRIVE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT IF ALL THE GEAR OIL WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST. LUCK IT WAS DISCOVERED SOON ENOUGH THAT I COULD FILL THE DIFF BACK UP. SEALS HAVE BEEN REPLACED PREVIOUSLY AS WELL AS THE WHOLE AXEL ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION. THESE AXEL AND AXEL SEAL PROBLEMS MAY CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT ONE DAY. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 54,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

ON THE AFTERNOON OF FEB. 25TH, 2010 MY NISSAN TITAN REAR DIFFERENTIAL MADE A LOUD BOOM NOISE. AFTER WARDS, THE WHENEVER THE VEHICLE ROLLED A LOUD WHIRLING NOISE COULD BE HEARD IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE SAID THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS SHOT. AS HE WAS BACKING UP FROM THE TOW TRUCK THE TRUCK MADE A SECOND LOUD POP NOISE. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 40K MILES ON IT. I DO NOT TOW ANYTHING. I DO NOT CONSTANTLY LUG HEAVY ITEMS ON IT. I DON'T PUSH MY TRUCK TO THE LIMIT AT ALL. BUT THIS HAPPENS. AND WORST OF ALL IT HAPPENS WHEN THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY FROM NISSAN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND SHOULD BE FIXED. I HAVE THREE OPTIONS FROM MY MECHANIC. USED FOR A THOUSAND DOLLAR. REBUILD IT FOR 1,200.00 DOLLARS, OR OVER 2000 FOR NEW. AND THIS DOES NOT GUARANTEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM VERY UPSET AT THIS SITUATION. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD WARPS AFTER ABOUT 80K MILES, CREATING AN EXHAUST LEAK. IF IT DEVELOPS BEFORE THE 80K MILE EMISSIONS WARRANTY, IT WILL BE COVERED. MOST DEVELOP AFTER THE WARRANTY. I OWN AN '04 AND AN '05 NISSAN TITAN. THE '05 EXHAUST LEAK WAS FIXED AT 78K MILES WITH 1 NEW EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND SOME CROSSOVER PIPING. THE '04 STARTED AT 88K MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT HELPED WITH THE PROBLEM WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ESTIMATING $1300 TO REPAIR. *TR

I OWN AN '04 TITAN AND AN "05 TITAN. BOTH TRUCKS AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AT AROUND 75K MILES. WHEN THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHTS "OFF". THE '05 WAS FIXED UNDER A MANUFACTURERS RECALL. THE '04 HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE WANTING $800 TO FIX IT. *TR

ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE ROAD DOING 25-35 MPH AND HER 2004 NISSAN TITAN CC SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THEN ENGINE SHUT OFF. SHE CAME TO A STOP AND THE TRUCK RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. ON FEB 26TH, 2010 MY WIFE WAS AT A FRIENDS HOUSE AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START. SHE HAD GIVEN ME THE WRONG DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TRUCK I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A DEAD BATTERY. SO I JUMP STARTED THE TRUCK AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY. ON FEB 27TH, 2010 MY WIFE AND I WERE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT AND THE TRUCK'S ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART AND THIS CAUSED A MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM AND WE WERE ALMOST HIT MY MULTIPLE VEHICLES. LUCKILY A COUPLE BYSTANDERS HELPED DIRECT TRAFFIC AND HELPED PUSH THE TRUCK OFF THE ROAD. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AND NOTHING ELSE WAS VISIBLY WRONG SUCH AS BATTERY OR ANY OTHER COMMON ITEMS. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES THE TRUCK STARTED RIGHT UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH ONLINE THROUGH MULTIPLE NISSAN TITAN FORUMS IT CAME TOP MY ATTENTION THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN ABOUT BY OWNERS FOR SOME TIME. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) IN THE TRUCK WERE FAULTING CAUSING THE ECM RELAY ON THE TRUCK TO STOP WORKING. THE SHORT TERM FIX FOR THIS WAS TO REPLACE THE RELAY. THE LONG TERM FIX FOR THIS IS TO REPLACE THE IPDM. SO I REPLACED THE IPDM AND HAVE NOT SEEN A PROBLEM SINCE. WHEN I WENT TO THE PARTS COUNTER AT KORUM NISSAN IN PUYALLUP TO PICK UP MY $178 PART I ASKED HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE ORDERED THIS PART. I WAS TOLD BY THERE PARTS REP MIKE THAT HE HAS SOLD A LOT OF THESE UNITS FOR VARIOUS REASONS. HE SAID IT WAS A COMMON KNOWN ISSUE BY THE PARTS REPS AND THE SERVICE REPS. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW SUCH A THING COULD BE KNOWN SO WELL BUT NO SAFETY RECALL HAS HAPPENED. MY PROBLEMS WERE RELATIVELY MINOR COMPARED TO OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED SUCH PROBLEMS AT HIGH SPEEDS WHERE DEATH OR INJURY COULD OCCUR. *TR

THE ISSUE I AM HAVING IS WITH MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHEN IT GETS COLD OUT, ALL OF THE DOOR HANDLE FREEZE AND WON'T OPEN. IF YOU ARE LUCKY AFTER A FEW HOURS AND YOU DO GET IT OPEN, YOU CAN'T GET THEM SHUT. SEVERAL TIMES I HAD TO TIE THE SEAT BELT AROUND THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE IN ADDITION TO HOLDING THE DOOR CLOSE SO I COULD GET HOME. I TOOK MY CAR TO RICART NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT WILL $1000 TO FIX ALL 4 DOORS. SO, I CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INJURED AND/OR KILLED. *TR

THE REAR AXLE SEALS AND PINION SEALS WERE BLOWN OUT WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY VENT THAT NISSAN HAS USED ON THERE TITAN PICK UP TRUCKS. *TR

FRONT AXLE FAILED AT 41,000 MILES WITH ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH INTO 4WD HI ON SNOW AND ICE COVERED STREET DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES PER HOUR. TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AXLE SHAFT SNAPPED AT A MACHINED POINT ON THE SHAFT AND HAD PULLED OUT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING ALLOWING THE GEAR FLUID TO LEAK OUT. DEALER REPLACED THE STUB SHAFT AND INTERNAL PINION GEAR. THIS WAS ONLY THE SECOND TIME I'VE USED THE 4WD. THANKFULLY I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AS IT WAS NOT COVERED BY FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR

NISSAN TITAN 2004, 4 DOOR, V8, 4 WHEEL DRIVE. REAR DIFFERENTIAL, ALSO CALLED UNIVERSAL JOINT, WENT OUT AT 74,000 MILES. NISSAN HAD A SEAL LEAK ISSUE, WHICH PREVIOUS OWNER DID THE REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR OF THE SEAL BUT IT DID NOT WORK OR SOMETHING ELSE WENT WRONG. REPAIR COST $3,213.31. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. VEHICLES SHOULD EASILY GO 100,000 MILES WITHOUT UNIVERSAL JOINT ISSUES. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB. I HAVE ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS HAD MAJOR BRAKE RELATED ISSUES. YOU ARE PROBABLY WELL AWARE THAT THE TITAN HAD SOME INITIAL PROBLEMS WITH THEIR BRAKES IN THE EARLY MODELS THAT WERE SOLVED. HOWEVER, THE DEALER HAS FAILED TO SOLVE MORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS I AND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD. IN RANDOM SITUATIONS, APPLYING THE BRAKES LIGHTLY AND NORMALLY, THE BRAKES BASICALLY FAIL TO OPERATE NORMALLY AND WHEN THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED IT OFFERS NONE OF THE NORMAL RESISTANCE AND INSTEAD EASILY GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR, EMMEDIATELY THIS LOCKS THE BRAKES AND CAUSES THE TRUCK TO COME TO A RAPID AND IMMEDIATE LURCHING AND SLIDING STOP. SO FAR, MOST TIMES, I HAVE BE ABLE TO FEEL A SUBTLE CHANGE IN THE PEDAL IN TIME TO CHANGE HOW I APPLY THE BRAKES, BUT A FEW TIMES I HAVE BEEN SLAMMED AGAINST THE SEAT BELT AND NEARLY HIT MY FACE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. OFTEN THE PROBLEM IS IMMEDUATELY PRECEDED BY A SMALL SOUND THAT SOUNDS LIKE A SPRING COMING UNDONE.( I KNOW THIS MAY SOUND A BIT REDICULOUS, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SOUND A SPRING WOULD MAKE IN A CARTOON..."BOING"). EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS THE BREAKS WILL REMAIN IN THE SAME STATE, MUSHY AND CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE LOCK UP UNTIL I STOP AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND GOES OFF AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION. EVERYTHING WILL BE NORMAL AFTER RESTARTING AND THE PROBLEM OFTEN WON'T RESEURFACE FOR WEEKS OR MONTHS. IT HAPPENS TO ME ABOUT EVERY 45-60 DAYS AND I CAN NOT REPRODUCE IT. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPEND I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT, BUT THEY DID NOT. I FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ONLINE SO THIS IS REAL AND NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. HERE ARE A FEW SITES WERE DRIVERS/OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM : HTTP://FORUMS.FIGHTBACK.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?P=28582 HTTP://WWW.TITANTALK.COM/FORUMS/TITAN-GENERAL-DISCUSSION/59241-SUDDEN-TOTAL-BRAKE-FAILURE. HTTP://X.NISSANHELP.COM/FORUMS/TITAN/4289-2004-TITAN-BRAKE-LIGHT-BRAKES-SURGING.HT. *TR

UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS THE REAR AXLE SEALS BEGAN LEAKING AND DAMAGED THE REAR BRAKES. THE AXLE SEALS AND SPACERS NEED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH PARKING BRAKE AND REAR BRAKE PADS.*TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY BROKE THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CAUSING A LACK OF 4WD IN A SNOW STORM AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED. BROKEN EQUIPMENT CAUSE 2000 DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE TO VEHICLE THAT WAS OTHERWISE IN PERFECT RUNNING CONDITION. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN THAT HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL IN THE REAR END. IN MY CASE THE REAR END DID NOT LOCK UP AT HIGHWAY SPEED BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR THAT HAPPENING IS THERE. AFTER MY PROBLEM OCCURRED I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND DETERMINED THAT MY CASE WAS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. MY TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED, HAS A TOWING PACKAGE WHICH HAS BEEN USED TO TOW A TRAILER ONLY A FEW TIMES AND HAD ONLY 62,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. FROM WHAT I COULD DETERMINE NISSAN REDESIGNED THE REAR END I N THE 2008 MODEL AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REDUCED BUT THAT DOES NOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM FOR THE 2004-2007 MODELS ON THE ROAD. UNFORTUNATELY THE NISSAN SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE FAULTY REAR END WITH THE SAME TYPE WHICH IN MY CASE I CHOSE NOT TO DO. FROM THE INFORMATION I COULD GATHER I WAS BETTER OFF AND SAFER GOING WITH AN AFTERMARKET DIFFERENTIAL WHICH I DECIDED TO DO TO PREVENT POTENTIAL PROBLEMS IN ANOTHER 3-4 YEARS OR SOONER. I REALIZE THERE ARE NOT LARGE NUMBERS OF NISSAN TITANS ON THE ROAD BUT THIS DOES NOT MAKE THE SITUATION ANY LESS DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVERS OF THEM. *TR

DRIVER SIDE REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING, FLUID LEAKING ONTO BRAKE ASSEMBLY; LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL SEEPING. SEALS HAD BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE. ON WWW.TITANTALK.COM PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS AXLE SEAL FAILURES. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL ALL TITANS AND PATHFINDERS WITH THIS AXLE VENT SYSTEM AND REPAIR THE VENT WITH SOMETHING BETTER. UNTIL THIS IS PERFORMED, AXLE SEALS WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL AND FLUID WILL CONTINUE TO POTENTIALLY LEAK ONTO BRAKE ASSEMBLIES CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT BRAKING POWER TO HOLD VEHICLE IN PLACE OR PROVIDE ANY NOTICEABLE BRAKING. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE BRAKES SERVICED. THE REAR BRAKE PADS, DISCS, AND CABLES WHERE REPLACED AND NO IMPROVEMENT IN PERFORMANCE WAS OBSERVED. *TR

PARK - IGNITION INTERLOCK IS DEFECTIVE AND ALLOWS THE KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING IN PARK. THIS POTENTIALLY ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY AND CAUSE DAMAGE OR INJURY. *TR

FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AXLE CIR CLIP FAILURE. *TR

PASSENGER SEAT BACK ON 2004 NISSAN TITAN BECAME VERY LOOSE AND WOBBLY. I HAD A NISSAN SERVICE LOOK AT IT AND DETERMINE IT NEEDED REPLACING. WHEN THE NEW FRAME ARRIVED FROM NISSAN, IT WAS EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL FRAME. THE SERVICE CENTER HAD TO REINFORCE THE FRAME SO IT WOULD BE RIGID AND SAFE. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL SEAT FRAME IN MY POSSESSION FOR INSPECTION . I BELIEVE THIS SEAT FRAME DOES NOT MEET SAFETY STANDARDS. *TR

HEARD EXHAUST LEAK IN ENGINE AT ABOUT 85,000 MILES. MANIFOLD LEAK WAS CONFIRMED AT 101,000 WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. REVIEWED MANY TECHNICAL FORUMS WHERE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS BEING REPORTED AS CRACKED ON COUNTLESS TITANS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, AND THE COST SHOULD NOT BE RELAYED TO THE CONSUMER AT A SIGNIFICANT DOLLAR AMOUNT. *TR

I HAVE AN '04 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB TRUCK. IN EARLIER PART OF '09, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY, MY ENGINE STALLED AND WENT OUT. BASICALLY I WAS JUST ROLLING ON THE HWY UNAWARE THAT THE ENGINE WENT OUT. I REALIZED MY ENGINE WENT OUT WHEN I COULDN'T ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE, AND MY STEERING WAS DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START AFTER THAT. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WOULD CRANK, BUT WOULDN'T TURN, AND AS IF IT WASN'T GETTING FUEL. SEVERAL MECHANICS COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE UNTIL, I LATER LEARNED BY READING UP ON NISSAN FORUM ONLINE, OF SIMILAR CASES, THAT IT WAS AN IPDM FAILURE. I REPLACED THIS PART AND IT WORKED AGAIN. NOW, ITS JAN. 2010, AND IT WENT OUT ON ME AGAIN. THIS TIME, LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HWY, I WAS PARKED AND THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START. *TR

I DROVE MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN FOR 65,000 MILES TO AND FROM WORK AND SCHOOL ONLY. ONE DAY THE REAR END JUST BLEW UP ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, FORTUNATELY I OR ANY OTHER DRIVER WASN'T INJURED. THE ISSUE CAME UP OUT OF NO WHERE AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I TRIED TO RECEIVE HELP FROM THE DEALER TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE HOWEVER THEY ARE REFUSING TO ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY. THE FAILURE WAS DO TO THE LEAKING AXLE SEALS BECAUSE OF FAULTY PARTS. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES, AND THE FAILURE BEGAN AROUND 20000 MILES AGO, ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. *TR

TOOK 2004 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP WITH 53,479 MILES TO DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE AND SERVICE UNDER RECALL NTB 352 W93 SERVICE MANUAL REFERENCE PB081. AT COMPLETION OF WORK SERVICE MANAGER MENTIONED THAT REAR AXLE SEAL SERVICE AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY 500.00 SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. I DID NOT KNOW AT THE TIME THAT THE SERVICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. LATER ON 10/14/2009 TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR OIL CHANGE NOW WITH MILEAGE OVER 60K SERVICE MANAGER RECOMMENDED THE AXLE SEAL SERVICE AT THE COST MENTIONED ABOVE. AT 66974 MILES I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I SCHEDULED THE AXLE SERVICE ON 12/14/09 WHEN SLIP AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON, THE DEALERSHIP ORDERED PARTS. FURTHER RESEARCH BY ME FOUND THAT THIS SERVICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AT NO COST UNDER 60K WARRANTY PERIOD. I BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE MANAGER WAITED UNTIL MY VEHICLE WAS OVER 60K AND THEREFORE OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

1: JUST NORMAL DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED A SLIGHT VIBRATION DEVELOPING ON THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. THE NEXT DAY JUST WENT TO GO TO THE STORE, ABOUT 5 MINS AWAY, THE SLIGHT VIBRATION TURNED INTO A VERY LOUD KNOCKING SOUND AND YOU COULD FEEL IT THROUGHOUT THE TRUCK. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO NISSAN. 2: THE FAILURE WAS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, NISSAN TOLD ME THAT BASICALLY THE WHOLE INSIDE OF THE REAR DIF CAME APART AND THE WHOLE REAR END AXLE TO AXLE WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED TO A TUNE OF 3,000 DOLLARS. LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOW (ABOUT 25 MPH) SO THERE WASN'T ANY OTHER MAJOR DAMAGE OR INJURY. I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON TITAN TALK FORUMS AND MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE AND HAVE REPORTED IT LIKE I AM NOW, SOME WEREN'T SO LUCKY AND WERE ON FREEWAY WHICH AT THOSE SPEEDS THEY CLAIM THE DRIVE-SHAFT BROKE OFF THE REAR DIFF AND WAS DRAGGING ON THE ROAD, NOT GOOD. 3: NISSAN IS REPLACING THE WHOLE REAR-END AXLE TO AXLE TO A TUNE OF 3,000 DOLLARS AND THEY ONLY WARRANTY THEY ARE OFFERING TO ME IS 1 YEAR UNLIMITED MILES AND THAT IS ALL THEY OFFER WHICH IN MY OPINION IS HORRIBLE. NISSAN CAME OUT WITH A NEWER VERSION OF THIS REAR-END WHICH THEY WILL BE INSTALLING SO HOPEFULLY THIS ONE WILL NOT FAIL BUT I AM STILL VERY UPSET ABOUT HAVING TO SHELL OUT 3,000 FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL LIKE THIS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS HAZARD HAVING THESE REAR-ENDS FAIL LIKE THIS, OTHER TRUCKS I'VE OWNED IN THE PAST I'VE PUT 200 PLUS THOUSAND MILES AND NEVER HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE READ DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 35 AND 40 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. SUDDENLY, THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE FAILED TO OPERATE. THE DRIVER STATED THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. THE VEHICLE IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH 54700 MILES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR AXLE SEALS HAVE FAILED. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO HIS LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE HE FOUND THAT THE REAR AXLE SEALS HAD BEEN LEAKING ONTO THE BRAKES. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THAT THERE WERE NO RELATED RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54700.

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR DIFF SEALS LEAK AND HAS CAUSED A BRAKE FAILURE. I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY REAR END LOCKS UP. IT TOOK A FEW MOMENTS TO GET HER GOING AGAIN IN REVERSE. I JACKED IT UP AND REMOVED THE TIRES AND REMOVED THE ROTORS. THE PAD ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM FAIL OFF. IT STILL HAD PLENTY OF PAD LEFT ON IT. MY FATHER LOOKED AT IT AND NOTICED THE FLUID LEAKING FROM MY REAR END. HE TOLD ME THAT PROBABLY CAUSED THE FAILURE DUE TO THE CONTAMINATION. REPLACED THE PAD AND ADDED SOME OILED TO THE REAR END. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND OTHER BRAKE FAILURES ALSO. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKS ALSO. I AM REPLACING IT TOO. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TITANS. THIS MAY BE OF MORE CONCERN WITH THE EPA. THEY HAVE BEEN KNOW TO CRACK. *TR

DRIVING DOWN OUR SNOW-COVERED STREET WE LIVE ON, I TRIED TO ENGAGE 4HI. ALL I HEARD WAS A GRINDING NOISE. AFTER STOPPING I TRIED THE 4HI SWITCH AGAIN AND IT SEEMED TO ENGAGE. I DIDN'T THINK ANYMORE ABOUT IT UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN I NOTICED A BIG PUDDLE OF OIL ON DRIVEWAY. THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT AXLE HALF-SHAFT IS FLOPPING AROUND LOOSE AT THE DIFFERENTIAL, AND ALL THE DIFF OIL HAS LEAKED OUT. NISSAN SAYS THE WHOLE DIFF NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. APPARENTLY A C-CLIP INSIDE THE DIFF IS EASILY BROKEN AND IT LETS THE HALF-SHAFT POP OUT OF POSITION, AND AS IT TURNS AND FLOPS AROUND IT DESTROYS THE SEALS AND DIFF CASE. SEARCHING THE INTERNET ON THIS FAILURE SHOWS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME FAILURE, AND IF THE C-CLIP GETS STUCK IN THE GEARS IT CAN LEAD TO DIFF BREAKING INTO CHUNKS. NO REAL FIX EXCEPT TO REPLACE THE DIFF. PUSHING THE HALF-SHAFT BACK INTO THE DIFF WON'T WORK AS THE C-CLIP IS NEEDED TO RETAIN IT, AND THE C-CLIP TYPICALLY CANNOT BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE DIFF CASE IS DAMAGED. *TR

I OWN A 2004 TITAN WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. ON 12/3/09 MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL BROKE. I NEVER TOWED ANYTHING WITH THIS TRUCK. I NEVER EVEN HAULED ANYTHING HEAVY IN THE BED. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FAILED DIFFERENTIAL AT MY EXPENSE SINCE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE MY FRONT DIFF BREAKING. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN 4X4. I HAD THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAIL WHILE DRIVING ON A SNOW PACKED ROAD. WHEN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED THERE WAS A SECOND OR TWO WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THEN RELEASED .IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. MY SPEED AT THE TIME WAS ABOUT 15 TO 20 MPH. THE FRONT HAD FAILED AND WAS REPLACED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. *TR

DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. THIS HAS FORCED ME TO DRIVE WITH MY DOOR OPEN NUMEROUS TIMES...HOW IS THIS NOT A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN? WHEN TRYING TO CLOSE THE DOORS THEY BOUNCE BACK OPEN AND DO NOT LATCH. *TR

EVERYTHING WAS FINE WITH THE TRUCK UNTIL I GOT AROUND THE 35,000 MILE RANGE. WHEN I WOULD DRIVE THE TRUCK I WOULD NOTICE LOUD NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I TOOK IT TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP 2 OR 3 TIMES AND THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THAT IT WAS JUST MY SUSPENSION THAT WAS MAKING THE NOISE. NOW IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 15,000 MILES LATER AND I NOTICED A LEAK COMING FROM AROUND THE FRONT AXLE SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST $2300 TO FIX IT. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM ALOT WITH NISSAN TITANS. WHEN I GOT HOME I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND CLOSE TO 100 PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE THE ONE TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE IS COVERED IN MOLD AND NOW RUST HAS APPEARED. THIS INCLUDES CARPET, SEATS, STEERING WHEEL AND MORE. FRONT RIGHT WHEEL IS ALSO RUSTED. DUE TO THE WATER PROBLEMS THERE IS CONDENSATION ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH MAKES VISIBILITY POOR. ATTEMPTS MADE BY THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM HAS FAILED. *TR

WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN, I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THEN A SHAKE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TELL ME THAT MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL GAVE OUT AND NOW THE WHOLE REAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT WILL COST ME $3000 TO FIX. MY MILEAGE IS 55,600 AND MY WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED IN JULY.

THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE OCCURRED YESTERDAY 11/1/09 AS I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND PUT ON MY BRAKES AND THE BRAKES BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND A SPRING LIKE NOISE OCCURRED. IN ADDITION THE BRAKES WERE SOFT AND SCRAPING SOUND OCCURRED WHEN APPLIED. THIS OCCURRED EACH TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES FOR THE NEXT 4MILES UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ON THE ENTIRE TIME UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TODAY, MONDAY. LATE SATURDAY, I HAD TO MOVE MY VEHICLE AT HOME AND NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY WITHOUT ANY SOUND OR SOFTNESS.THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. AT THAT TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND LEFT THE VEHICLE WITH THE DEALER OVERNIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS LATE IN THE DAY NEAR CLOSING.. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER SAID THEY TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A TEST DRIVE AND IT REACTED NORMALLY AND "IT PROBABLY WAS SOME DIRT/DUST IN AND AROUND THE BRAKES CAUSING THE BRAKES TO STICK'.. THERE WAS NO WORK DONE ON THE VEHICLE. TODAY, THE SAME DEALER LOOKED AT MY VEHICLE AND RAN SOME TESTS AFTER I INSISTED THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE SAME THING HAS OCCURRED. THIS TIME THE DEALER FOUND A DEFECTIVE/WORN DELTA SPEED SENSOR AND RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE WARRANTY EXPIRED 1/1/09.

PULLED SLOWLY FROM A MCDONALD'S DRIVE THROUGH INTO HALTED TRAFFIC (RED LIGHT). AS I PULLED OUT OF DRIVE THROUGH, HEARD BIG BANG AND FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED. TRIED TO ACCELERATE, TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE, AND I COULD HEAR AN AUDIBLE CLICKING NOISE AT WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN TIRE ROTATION SPEED. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER.

2004 NISSAN TITAN - 50,000K MILES. NOTICED A REAR SEAL LEAKING ONTO BY TIRES AND ON MY BRAKES FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UNIT HAS NOT FAILED AS OF DATE BUT SERVICE DEPT SAYS ANY DAY IT WILL. GRENADA NISSAN OFFERED TO REPLACE BECAUSE OF KNOWN ISSUES, BUT NISSAN HEADQUARTERS HAS NOT HONORED WARRANTY TO DATE, B/C IT IS 6 MONTHS TOO LATE. WILL NOT HONOR WARRANTY. CONCERNED IF IT FAILS AT INTERSECTION OR GOING DOWN ROAD AN ACCIDENT WITH BODILY INJURY CAN OCCUR. THE FLUID ON BRAKES MAY ALSO CAUSE SLIPPAGE WHILE BRAKING. VERY DANGEROUS. NISSAN QUOTED REPAIR NEAR 3500$. HAS BEEN KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN AND NHTSA. OVER 70 COMPLAINTS FILED, LUCKILY NO INJURY TODATE. THIS FAILURE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN NA, AND HAVE YET TO FIX FLAW ON THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE BEWARE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO NOT ONLY THE VEHICLE'S DRIVER AND PASSENGER, BUT TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN HAS BEEN HAVING PERIODIC COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 7-8 TIMES. STARTED ABOUT 25,000 MI, CURRENTLY AT 34,000 MI. TOOK TO DEALER ON 8-1-09, DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER, SAID IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABS AND VDC CONTROLS AND THAT THIS WOULD FIX IT, YESTERDAY ON 8-22-09 IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER NORMAL DRIVING AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY, VERY SCARY. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS, IF YOU SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART, THE BRAKES ARE BACK AND SEEM TO BE WORKING FINE, THEY CAN GO FOR A WHILE WITH NO PROBLEM, THEN ONE DAY THEY WILL JUST NOT BE THERE, PUMPING THE BRAKE GIVES LITTLE BRAKE EFFECT AND A NOISE EMITS FROM UNDER THE HOOD, A STRANGE SOUND I HAVE NEVER HEARD COME FROM A VEHICLE BEFORE, BRAKES WILL GO TO FLOOR AND WILL NOT STOP IF HELD, HAVE TO PUMP LIKE CRAZY AND RESORT TO EMERGENCY STOPPING METHODS SUCH AS E-BRAKE, DOWNSHIFT AND RUBBING TIRES AGAINST CURB OR DRIVING INTO SOFT SAND TO STOP VEHICLE. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH TITANS AND ARMADAS (SAME EXACT VEHICLE MECHANICALLY). THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, I AM USED TO OLD CARS THAT HAVE PROBLEMS, THIS REALLY CATCHES YOU OFF GUARD. I WISH TO FILE A COMPLAINT AS THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR ROAD. *TR

I AM A OWNER OF A 2004 NISSAN TITAN WHO HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS IN THE PAST. HOWEVER, I ALMOST GOT INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT YESTERDAY, AS I HAD NO BRAKING ON MY REAR WHEELS. AFTER INSPECTING THE REAR BRAKES AND WHY THEY FAILED, I NOTICED THAT MY SEALS ON THE REAR AXEL IS LEAKING OIL ONTO MY BRAKES PADS. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN CREWCAB SLE -2 WHEEL DRIVE. FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, COMING TO A STOP SIGN I PUT ON THE BRAKES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY BRAKES. HEARD LOUD NOISES LIKE THE ABS WAS KICKING IN AND OUT AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARDER TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL I GOT THE TRUCK HOME. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET WITH NISSAN TITAN WEB FORUMS I FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE WITH TITAN'S HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS. FROM WHAT I GATHER IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AT FAULT. ALSO I FOUND OUT THAT ONCE YOU TURN OFF THE IGNITION THE SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE BACK TO NORMAL. I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING AND RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. NISSAN WANTS $850 OR MORE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER (TRUCK OUT OF WARRANTY). NISSAN NEEDS TO COME CLEAN AND REALIZE THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TITAN'S BRAKE BOOSTER. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN; REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING: 1. IN SHOP FOR TIRE ROTATION, MECHANIC SAW FLUID FROM REAR AXLE ON INSIDE OF MY WHEELS. 2. NOT SURE HOW LONGS ITS BEEN LEAKING.

CONSEQUENCES ARE FLUID CAN LEAK ONTO BRAKES CAUSING A BRAKING FAILURE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH AND POSSIBLE DEATH. 3. NOTHING DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. CONTACTING MECHANIC TODAY. *NISSAN NEEDS A RECALL ON THIS* *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE. FIRST NOTICE OIL LEAKING FROM BOTH AXLE SEALS WHEN CHANGING SHOCKS AT 41,000 MILES. BROUGHT TO DEALER WAS TOLD AXLE SEALS HAD FAILED AND WERE GOING TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, AT 44,400 MILES WENT TO GET INSPECTION STICKER AND THE PARKING BRAKE FAILED, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATING THIS WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SEALS HAD FAILED AGAIN AND SLUNG OIL ALL OVER THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM I WOULD THINK THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS TIME THEY FIXED THE SEALS BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE FAILING DUE TO THE FACT OF A PROBLEM WITH THE AXLE, NOW I AM OVER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY AND THERE TELLING ME IT MY NOT BE COVERED STILL WAITING TO HEAR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED TO BE FIXED AT NISSANS EXPENSE. ONE TIME THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND SOMEONE'S BRAKE ARE GOING TO FAIL FROM THE OIL AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH! SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE BEFORE ITS TO LATE. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN WILL NOT SHIFT DUE TO A FAULTY/ SHEARED WIRE IN THE COLUMN SHIFTER. WHILE TOWING IT CREATES A HAZARDOUS CONDITION DUE TO THE INABILITY TO SHFT GEARS. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN BRAKE FAILURE. POWER BOOSTER SENSOR IS GOING OUT AND CAUSES MUSHY AND VIOLANT BRAKE PEDAL -- UNABLE TO STOP SAFELY. SOMETIMES IT WORKS, SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. DEALER FLASHED THE BRAKE COMPUTER...IT DID NOT WORK. SAID THAT THE POWER BOASTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $900 PLUS...I THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. XTREME SAFETY ISSUE. THERE SEEMS TO BE A TSB OUT ON IT..BUT NO RECALL. NEED A RECALL...PEOPLE COULD BE KILLED. *TR

BRAKES GO INTO IN ABS MODE FOR NO REASON, TRUCK BECOMES HARD TO STOP; ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY- 80 DEGREES AND SUNNY. I WAS COMING HOME FROM THE NISSAN DEALER BECAUSE OF A BRAKE, SLIP, VDC LIGHT (ANYTIME) AND BRAKE LIGHT - ABS COMING ON (ONLY DURING BRAKING), BOTH ARE INTERMITTENT. THE FRIDAY BEFORE I HAD NISSAN LOOK AT THIS VERY CONDITION(S) THEY AGREED I HAD A PROBLEM, AND UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE. 2 DAYS LATER THE LIGHT STILL CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE TRUCK AND RESTARTING, THE LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON, SOMETHING THAT DID NOT USE TO HAPPEN. . . NISSAN HAS A BRAKE ISSUE, I'VE SEEN MANY OF COMPLAINTS THAT ARE THE SAME AS MINE- LOSS OF BRAKING BECAUSE THE ABS KICKS ON (BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS) AND WILL NOT CORRECT/STOP IT-SELF UNTIL THE ENGINE IS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. RESTARTING THE TRUCK WHEN THE ABS IS HAMPERING THE STOPPING ABILITY IS NOT VERY PRACTICAL, AND VERY DANGEROUS IN MOST DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME I CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT AND SWERVED TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. SINCE THE 2ND VISIT TO NISSAN I HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER WITH STABILITY CONTROL OPTION REPLACED, THAT WAS THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDATION AFTER THEY DOWNLOADED THE CODES(X2), THEY STATED THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED. COST FOR REPAIR WAS QUOTED AT $650.00. *TR

REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING CAUSING DIFFICULT BRAKING, GRINDING NOISE AND TAKE OFF PROBLEMS. VEHICLE IS AN 2004 TITAN WITH 58500 MILES. ALL STOCK, NO TOWING. DEALER WILL LOOK AT IT BUT WON'T WARRANTY WORK. *TR

REAR SHACKLE IN 2004-2008 NISSAN TITAN IS WEAK DESIGN, PRONE TO FAILURE. I HAVE PROOF OF SEVERAL DOCUMENTED CASES IN WHICH THE REAR SHACKLE UNFOLDS AND THE LEAF SPRING SLAMS THROUGH THE BED OF THE TRUCK, WHICH CAN RESULT IN SUDDEN LOSS OF CONTROL. IT HAS HAPPENED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, AS WELL AS WHEN TOWING, OFF-ROADING, ETC. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BEFORE IT HAPPENS, ALL THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS TO REPLACE THE SHACKLES BEFORE THEY FAIL AND BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN. IF THE SHACKLE FAILS, IT MUST BE REPLACED, AND THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED FOR SAFETY, AND THE BED MUST BE REPLACED. *TR

NOTICED REDUCED BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS, LOOKED UNDER VEHICLE AT REAR BRAKES, FLUID HAS BEEN LEAKING FROM FAULTY REAR AXLE SEALS, CAUSING FLUID TO CONTAMINATE BRAKE PARTS, CREATING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK. 3RD FAILURE OF SAME SEAL IN 6 MONTHS. FAILURE RESULTS IN DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ONTO BRAKES RESULTING IN BRAKING LIMITATIONS AND FAILURE, POTENTIAL FOR FIRE. DEALER IS PRESUMABLY GOING TO REPLACE SEAL... AGAIN. *TR

THE SIDE AIR BAGS OF MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN DEPLOYED AS I WAS DRIVING. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30MPH ON A ASPHALT SURFACED ROAD WHEN THE AIR BAGS JUST DEPLOYED. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY GOING 30MPH SO I DID NOT CRASH. NISSAN HAS BEEN CONTACTED BUT IT SEEMS THAT THEY'RE GOING OUT OF THEIR WAY TO TRY AN PROVE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS IN A WRECK. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED AND HAS A CLEAN CARFAX AS WELL AS AN AUTOCHECK. *TR

BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS REPLACED ONCE ALREADY. WHEN THE SEALS LEAK THE GEAR OIL SPREADS ONTO THE BRAKE BACKING AND INTERIOR OF THE WHEEL CAUSING POTENTIAL BRAKE PROBLEMS. *TR

REAR AXLE SEALS LEAK CAUSING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID TO SEEP OUT ONTO THE BRAKE ROTORS. BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES HAVE HAD PROBLEMS. *TR

DURING ROUTINE SERVICE CHECKS, NOTICED REAR END LUBE LEAKING FROM THE REAR, PASSENGER SIDE OUTER SEAL. LUBE WAS LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKE ALSO CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. REPLACED SEAL AND BRAKES ON REAR OF VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH A DANA REAR AXLE. I WAS NOTIFIED BY A NISSAN DEALER THAT THE AXLE SEAL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE AXLE FLUID WAS DRAINING DOWN THE REAR BRAKE WHICH COULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE BRAKING PERFORMANCE AND RESULT IN AN UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION. *TR

REAR WHEEL SEALS CONTINUE TO LEAK EVEN AFTER BEING REPLACED,DIFFERENTIAL AND AXLE HAVE TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE PUMPKIN AREA,CAUSING THE SEALS TO BREAK. THE DEALER HAD MY TRUCK FOR (14) DAYS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AFTER DISASSEMBLING THE DIFFERENTIAL DUE TO A CONFLICT BETWEEN THEM AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ON WHO WAS GOING TO PAY FOR THE ($3,000.00) REAR. THIS HAS LEFT ME IN LIMBO SO I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER TO DISCUSS THE MODIFIED REAR THAT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM ON THESE 2004 TITANS AND HAVE A MODIFIED REPLACEMENT REAR,THEN WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL?SHOULDN'T THE MANUFACTURER BE RESPONSIBLE AND HAVE DECENCY TO CORRECT THEIR PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. HE DROVE TO HIS RESIDENCE AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MAKE A CLANKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE REAR AXLE AND THE GEARS INSIDE THE AXLE FAILED. THE CONTACT PAID APPROXIMATELY $3,300 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 67,400.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TOTAL REPLACEMENT. DEALER INSPECTION NOTED THAT IF VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN ANY FURTHER A TOTAL LOCK UP OR INABILITY TO BE DRIVEN WOULD OCCUR. APPEARS TO BE A LONG LIST OF REAR AXEL/DIFFERENTIAL FAILURES WITH THIS VEHICLE. DEALER NOTED IT ALSO APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED NOT JUST ON HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLES. VEHICLE REQUIRES TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF REAR AXEL. THE VEHICLE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF FAILURE. THE GEARS IN THE DIFFERENTIAL BREAK APART. *TR

LEAKING REAR AXLE SEAL ON PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND NISSAN HAS HAD ME AND MANY OTHERS IN ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS TO REPAIR THE FRONT BRAKES. THE FRONT WHEEL WOULD SHAKE WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES. JUST BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT THEY SAID THEY HAD A FIX. THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE ROTORS BECAUSE THE WERE TO SMALL FOR THE TRUCK. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE REPAIR, THE THIRD REPAIR, THE HAD COME UP WITH ANOTHER FIX THEY SAID AND IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I DID NOTICE THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT FUNNY. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT, BUT IT ALMOST FELT LIKE IT WAS APPLYING MORE PRESSURE TO THE REAR BRAKES TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE ON THE FRONT END. ANYWAY, SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE A COMPANY VEHICLE AND I HAVE ONLY PUT 16K MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE FRONT END IS SHAKING AGAIN WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. THE MORE THE SPEED AND THE HARDER YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE MORE IT SHAKES. ALSO, I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE BRAKES WERE SHAKING THE FRONT END TO SHAKE, SOMETHING IN THE FRONT END POPS, LIKE WHEN YOU TOP A HILL. IT HAS GONE AWAY EVERY TIME THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE BRAKES, BUT WHEN THE SHAKING STARTS BACK SO DOES THE POPPING. I'M NOT TO CONCERNED ABOUT THE POPPING, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SHAKING. THE LAST THING, TWO OF THE THREE TIMES THEY ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE BRAKES, THEY HAVE ALSO TURNED THE ROTORS. ROTORS CAN ONLY BE TURN A COUPLE OF TIMES AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I FEEL THEY CHEAPED OUT ON THE REPAIR BY PATCHING THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. I WISH YOU GUYS WOULD LOOK INTO IT. WHETHER IT'S ME OR SOMEONE ELSE, SOMEBODY IS GOING TO BE DRIVING THIS TRUCK 10 YEARS FROM NOW. I DO KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING 65 OR 70 MILES PER HOUR AND YOU HIT THE BRAKES, IT WILL GET YOUR ATTENTION. I DON'T KNOW HOW SAFE IT WILL BE IF NISSAN IS NOT MADE TO REALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN KC SE 4X4 HAS HAD REAREND PROBLEMS 3 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY TRUCK. I HAVE HAD AXLE SEALS REPLACED, DIFFERENTIAL ISSUES, AND NOW FOR THE 3RD TIME, THE DEALERSHIP HAS MY TRUCK OVER 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND! THE SPIDER GEARS LITERALLY FELL APART INSIDE MY DIFFERENTIAL. MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I HAVE ONLY 85,000 MILES ON IT! THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BREAK! I DO NOT TOW, I RARELY USE 4-WHEEL DRIVE! I HEARD A THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM MY REAREND, SO WHILE GETTING ANOTHER RECALL ISSUE RESOLVED HAD THE DEALERSHIP TAKE A LOOK....$3,500 WORTH OF WORK! HUDSON NISSAN HAS BEEN GREAT THROUGH MY OWNERSHIP! THEY DO ALL OF MY TITAN'S MAINTENANCE, AND THEY ARE THE BEST!

PROBLEM STARTED GRADUALLY AS OCCASIONAL NOISES, SUCH AS "CLUNKING" AND RATTLING, FROM THE WHEELS WHILE DRIVING. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. ONE DAY LATER WHILE DRIVING, HEARD AWFUL GRATING NOISE FROM WHEELS AND ABS/VDC LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PAD BROKE LOOSE AND DESTROYED THE ROTOR, THE ABS SENSOR, ETC. ($1,200 IN DAMAGE). DURING THE TWO WEEKS AFTER SERVICE, THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE BRAKES REACT AS IF IN ABS MODE AND GRIP AND GRIND WHILE STOPPING. TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE USUALLY MAKES THE LIGHT GO OFF AND THE BRAKES THEN OPERATE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BACK AT THE DEALER, WHO STATED THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

TOOK IT TO DEALER TO GET IT FIX AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RIGHT SIDE SHOULD BE REPLACED ALSO BUT AT $600.00 A CRACK TO REPLACE ONE SIDE I COULD ONLY AFFORD TO DO THE BAD ONE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET ABOUT OTHER OWNERS OF TITANS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR REAR AXLE SEALS PREMATURELY FAILING WITH LOW MILEAGE I THINK NIACIN NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 CREW CAB WITH 77K MILES AND BOTH REAR OUTER AXLE SEALS LEAK PROFUSELY. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS TITAN OWNERS AND I FEEL THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPORTED TO THE NHTSA. I HAVE OEM STOCK WHEELS AND TIRES ON IT AND DON'T HAVE ANY SUSPENSION OR DRIVELINE MODIFICATIONS. *TR

THE REAR END IS MAKING HORRIBLE CLANKING SOUND AND TOOK TO A SHOP, THEY SAID IT WAS GOING OUT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 TITAN CREW CAB 4X4 WITH 61,000 MILES. APRIL OF 2009 I CHECKED MY AIR CONDITIONER AND FOUND IT NOT TO BE COOLING. I TOOK IT IN THE MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME I HAD A LEAK IN THE HIGH PRESSURE AC HOSE. CHARGES FOR REPAIR $450.00. OK NO PROBLEM. IN THE FOLLOWING MONTH OF MAY AFTER RETURNING FROM A TRIP I FOUND OIL BELOW THE RIGHT AXEL. AGAIN I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FOR THE POWER STEERING WAS BOTH LEAKING. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE HOSE BRACKETS ON THAT MODEL WERE BAD AND THAT ALONG WITH NEW HOSES HE PUT ON THE NEW TYPE OF BRACKETS. HE DIDN'T SAY WHY THE HOSES LEAKED OTHER THAN "YOU KNOW THE TRUCK IS FIVE YEARS OLD." BY THE WAY THE COST FOR THAT REPAIR $859.00. SO IN THE SPAN OF 30 DAYS I HAVE SPENT OVER $1300.00 TO HAVE ALL OF THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSES REPLACED. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE HOSES LIKE THIS ON ANY VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED AND SOME I KEPT FOR UP TO TEN YEARS. IS IT THE HOSES THAT ARE SUB-STANDARD OR IS IT THE CLAMPS THAT WORE THROUGH THE HOSES? EITHER WAY ALL THE HOSES SHOULD NOT HAVE NEEDED REPLACEMENT IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. IT DOESN'T MATTER I WAS LOOKING BUYING A NEW TITAN UNTIL THIS CAME UP. NO NEW TITAN FOR ME. *TR

DVS SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE BAD, SYSTEM WAS REPROGRAMMED, BUT WENT BAD AGAIN. WAS TOLD THIS IS AN ISSUE IN ALL 2004, 2005, AND SOME 2006 TITANS AND ARMADAS. TRYING TO FIGHT PAYMENT OF THIS REPAIR WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, AND AM BEING PUT OFF. *TR

MY GIRLFRIEND OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE BRAKING SYSTEM STARTED FAILING, SO I PURCHASED NEW BRAKES AND NO CHANGE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED UNTIL I TALKED TO A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME TO TRY THE MASTER CYLINDER. PURCHASED A NEW ONE, NO CHANGE. NISSAN CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEMS BUT WHEN WE PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL IT DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. WE CAN PUMP THEM A COUPLE OF TIMES THEN IT'LL START TO STOP. NISSAN WON'T EVEN TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THE ONLY REPLY WE GET FROM THEM IS "IT NEEDS NEW BRAKES, OR THE BRAKE PADS ARE ON BACKWARDS." WE WHERE BROWSING ON THE INTERNET AND SAY AN ARTICLE WHERE THERE WAS A LEMON LAW AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM BUT NISSAN STILL CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEMS WITH THEM. *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND IN OCTOBER OF 2008 I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE SEALS AND BEARINGS AND THE FRONT PINION SEALS. THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND THE REAR END WAS FIXED ON APRIL 15, 2009 BUT NOT ABLE TO GET THE FRONT DONE YET. THIS PROBLEM COME ABOUT A YEAR AFTER OWNING IT AND ABOUT 12000 MILES AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS UP. I HAVE FILES A COMPLAINT TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. *TR

I HAVE 27,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK, I WAS IN 2 TIMES FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS THE LAST TIME THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED RIGHT DUE TO THE NEW BRAKES. I HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN AT 27,000 MILES AND THEY SAY WARRANTY IS OUT!! THIS WAS UNDER ENGINEERED AND NOW ITS MY PROBLEM. ALSO THE REAR SPRING SHACKLE BROKE SENDING THE LEAF SPRING INTO THE BED OF THE TRUCK DENTING IT. I BOUGHT AFTER MARKET SHACKLES AND FOUND THE OTHER SIDE WAS CRACKED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE EXHAUST TAIL PIPE WAS DAMAGED DUE TO AN UNKNOWN OBSTACLE ON THE ROAD SURFACE. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS OPENED, THE PARKING LIGHT ACTIVATED WITHOUT ASSISTANCE AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE TURN SIGNAL WAS NONFUNCTIONAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE TAIL PIPE DISENGAGEMENT CONTRIBUTED TO THE MELTING OF THE WIRING HARNESS. THE VEHICLE IS OPERABLE AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 65,000.

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN RECENTLY STARTED LEAKING GEAR OIL FROM BOTH AXLES IN THE REAR. CONCURRENTLY MY BRAKE PADS STARTING ABSORBING THE OIL WHICH IN TURN RUINED MY ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, AND NOW IS COSTING ME A PRETTY PENNY TO GET IT FIXED. MY MECHANIC SAID THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORES DO NOT CARRY THESE BEARINGS AND SEALS AND THEREFORE MUST CONTACT THE ORIGINAL DEALER TO ORDER THEM. AFTER READING AND FOLLOWING UP ON THE ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS BY MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS, I AM CURIOUS TO FIND OUT WHAT STEPS IN NISSAN TAKING TO RECALL THESE BAD SEALS AND BEARINGS? WHY SHOULD US THE OWNERS HAVE TO FIX COSTLY REPAIRS WHEN NISSAN KNOWS THEIR PRODUCTION EFFORTS WERE NOT PROPERLY TESTED BEFORE FIELDING THE DEALERSHIPS? PLEASE INFORM ME HOW TO GET IT FIXED FREE OF COST TO ME. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE SEALS TWICE ALREADY.(ONCE MARCH 2009 AND ONCE ABOUT 1.5 YEARS AGO. WARRANTY COVERED, BUT I AM GETTING CLOSE TO MY WARRANTY LIMIT. I KNOW THAT THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE THE FLUID LEAKS DOWN ON YOUR BRAKES, WHICH IS A BIG FACTORY FAULT. I WAS JUST HOPING THAT SOMEONE COULD HELP ME, AND OTHER TITAN OWNERS, FOR THE SAFETY AND MONEY, OUT OF POCKET WHEN WARRANTY IS UP. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND COME UP WITH SOMETYPE OF PERMANENT FIX. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR THANK YOU BRIAN CASTLE

THE DOOR HANDLES LOCK EITHER OPEN OR CLOSED AND CAN LOCK YOU OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE EVEN IF THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED OR LOCK THE DOOR OPEN WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CLOSE YOUR DOOR. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL 2004 NISSAN TITAN FAILURE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING. BRAKE WARP AND SHAKE. THESE ARE OBVIOUS MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND NISSAN SHOULD FIX THEM AT NO COST TO OWNER. THESE ARE ALSO CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUES. WE ARE TALKING BRAKE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE REAR END LOCK UP. THIS IS UNHEARD OF WITH A VEHICLE WITH THIS MILEAGE. *TR

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE @ 70,000 MILES... NISSAN IS SO UNDER HANDED THEY ARE STILL HOLDING THE PATENT AND WILL NOT RELEASE THE PARTS TO THE AFTERMARKET. WHEN I FIRST CALLED FOR THE REAR APPROX. 9 MONTHS AGO IT WAS $1400.00... NOW THE SAME DEALER SAYS THE PRICE HAS GONE UP TO $1700... THIS IS BEYOND HIGHWAY ROBBERY IT IS FLAT OUT A DISREGARD FOR THE CONSUMER. IT IS BECAUSE OF THIS AT EVERY CHANCE I GET I STOP AT THE BUSIEST NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND CONTINUALLY MAKE A "SCENE'. I KNOW IT WILL GET ME NO WHERE, BUT I STILL OWE $17,000 ON A POS THAT I CANNOT DRIVE. *TR

MY TRUCK SOUNDED SLIGHTLY LOUDER THAN NORMAL ON MY SHORT DRIVE HOME. I WAS DRIVING ON A 35MPH ROAD AND SOMETHING DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT. IT SOUNDED LIKE MY TIRES WERE OUT OF ALIGNMENT. I DROVE THE HALF MILE HOME ON THE 35MPH ROAD IN 2WD. I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AND LOOKED AT MY TIRES AND UNDER MY TRUCK. EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL. THE NEXT MORNING I NOTICED SOME OIL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I SAW IT WAS COMING FROM MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AXLE SEAL. MY AXLE WAS PULLED LOOSE FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL BECAUSE SOME WEAK CLIP THAT HELD THE ASSEMBLY TOGETHER HAS BROKEN. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO GET AN ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A ONE OF A KIND PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME IT WOULD BE SEVERAL DAYS TO GET PARTS AND REPAIR THE DAMAGE. THEY ESTIMATED THE COST WOULD BE BETWEEN $350-$600 TO REPLACE THE FRONT RIGHT AXLE, AXLE SEAL, AND CLIP. ADDITIONAL COST AND PARTS WOULD BE NECESSARY IF ANY FURTHER DAMAGE WAS FOUND IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

I BOUGHT A NISSAN TITAN NEW IN MAY OF 2004. PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES WERE IMMEDIATE. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE BRAKES, ROTORS, ETC. A COUPLE OF TIMES DUE TO DEFECTS. THEY NOW SAY THAT THE BRAKES ARE OUT OF WARRANTY SO I AM DOING IT ON MY OWN AND OFTEN. THIS PAST WEEKEND I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. I WENT AND BOUGHT ANOTHER SET OF BRAKES AND ROTORS. WHILE CHANGING THEM, NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES CALIPERS WERE CRACKED AND RUSTED. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER, WAITING ON A DECISION FROM THEM TO SEE IF THEY WILL FIX THEM. TRUCK IS UNDER WARRANTY, AND EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED FROM NISSAN. THESE WERE SUPPOSE TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER BEFORE, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY DID. I AM PAYING A TRUCK PAYMENT EVERY MONTH FOR A TRUCK THAT BASICALLY SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. WE NEVER KNOW IF THE BRAKES WILL WORK. NISSAN DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ADMITTED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM DESIGN. I FEAR THAT SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED IF NISSAN DOESN'T STEP UP AND PUT AN END TO THE BRAKE ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE THE DATE IT WAS PURCHASED. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND THE BRAKING POWER WAS LOST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ROTORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM (ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS) HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES SINCE THE ORIGINAL FAILURE DATE. WHEN ADULTS USE THE REAR SEAT SAFETY BELTS, THEY BECOME TIGHTER AS THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED. THE SEAT BELTS CAUSE A GREAT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO THE NECK AND CHEST AREA AND HAVE TO BE RELEASED AND RECONNECTED FOR SAFETY. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

I WAS DRIVING LIKE NORMAL CAME TO A FOUR WAY STOP LIGHT AT A BUSY HIGHWAY INTERSECTION, STOPPED AND PRECEDED TO GO WHEN IT WAS MY TURN. MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL GRENADED AND I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY I NEW I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND I PUT MY TRUCK INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND LET MY FRONT TIRES PULL ME THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I THEN PULLED OVER TO A SAFE SPOT AND LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE. GEAR OIL ALL OVER MY TRUCK AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS FORTUNATE TO REACT QUICKLY. BUT THIS REALLY COULD HAVE BEEN BAD. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MY DEALER AND IT COST ME $3500 FOR A NEW REAR END. THEY (NISSAN DEALERSHIP) REPLACED THE WHOLE AXLE ASSEMBLY. THEY TOLD ME NISSAN WOULD ONLY LET THEM REPLACE THE WHOLE THING AND NOT JUST THE GEARS. FISHY IF YOU ASK ME. A NORMAL REAR DIFFERENTIAL FIX SHOULD COST LESS THAN $1000. SOUNDS LIKE NISSAN KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM!!!! *TR

THE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN ALL FREEZE SHUT WHEN IT GETS COLD OUT. IT SEEMS TO LET WATER COME IN AROUND HANDLE AND THAN IT FREEZES. THIS PREVENT ME FROM BEING ABLE TO GAIN ENTRANCE INTO VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS EVERYTIME IT IS COLD OUT ESPECIALLY IN WINTER. NISSAN REFUSES TO PAY FOR REPAIRS AS VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT WILL COST ROUGHLY $175 FOR PARTS PER DOOR PLUS LABOR. I GUESS IN LATER MODELS THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THEM BUT REFUSES TO FIX VEHICLES WITH OLD OLD DESIGNED HANDLES. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN, LAST WEEK I NOTICED WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING CORNERS THERE WAS BANGING COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. WITHIN 2 DAYS THE TRUCK WAS UNDRIVABLE...THE DRIVESHAFT, WHILE IN GEAR WOULD JUST SPIN INSIDE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE VEHICLE WAS TO PLACE TRANSMISSION INTO 4WD AND USE THE FRONT WHEELS TO MOVE THE TRUCK! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR AXLE WAS LEAKING ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WHEELS. CURRENTLY, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS MAKING NOISES.

2004 NISSAN TITAN SE 4X4 OFF ROAD KING CAB ANYTIME THE WEATHER IS AT OR BELOW 20 DEG F BOTH DOORS FREEZE SHUT. I CANNOT USE THE DOOR HANDLES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE TRUCK TO OPEN THE DOORS. IF I ATTEMPT TO MANUALLY ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE THE WINDOW IS SOMETIMES FROZEN AS WELL AND WILL NOT MOVE. IN WEATHER AROUND 20-25 DEF F THE DOOR HANDLES WILL SOMETIMES WORK TO OPEN THE DOORS BUT THE HANDLES AND INTERNAL DOOR CABLES WILL NOT MOVE BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL POSITION TO ALLOW THE DOOR TO CLOSE AND LATCH PROPERLY LEAVING THE DOORS IN AN OPEN STATE. THIS POSSES A SAFETY RISK TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE IF IT IS DRIVEN IN THIS STATE. THIS OCCURS ANYTIME THE AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE REACHES AROUND +20 DEG F NISSAN HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY ALTHOUGH A TSB NTB05-118A EXISTS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED ONE EXTERNAL DOOR HANDLE THAT WAS BROKEN AS A RESULT OF EXCESS FORCE BY TRYING TO OPEN A FROZEN DOOR. *TR

I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT I AM THE 3RD CUSTOMER IN 6 MONTHS TO HAVE THIS EVENT OCCUR TO THEM. TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THE DEALER MUST "REPROGRAM THE VDC SYSTEM." DEALER WAS UNABLE TO TELL ME WHY THIS HAPPENED OR ASSURE ME THAT THE BRAKE FAILURE WILL NOT REOCCUR. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND NISSAN HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE LED TO A CATASTROPIC ACCIDENT HAD THE BRAKES FAILED DURING A CRITICAL TIME. I AM CONCERNED THAT NISSAN HAS A KNOWN BRAKE PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL IN PLACE. *TR

I HAVE HAD AN ODD EXHAUST SOUND FROM MY NISSAN TITAN FOR OVER 18 MONTHS. WHEN I FINALLY TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED AND REPAIRS COST $1400.00. I WAS TOLD A THE DEALER AND AT SEVERAL MUFFLER SHOPS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT DUE THE CAST NATURE OF THE MANIFOLD AND THE EXCESSIVE WEIGHT OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WELDED ONTO THE MANIFOLD. THE REPLACEMENT PART WERE A NEW DESIGN AND THE DEALER SAID THEY WILL NOT CRACK. SINCE MY TRUCK HAD 105,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE SERVICE WAS DONE THERE IS NO WARRANTY COVERAGE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE 2004 AND 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUPS AND THE COST OF REPAIRS SHOULD BE BORNE BY NISSAN AND NOT BY THE CONSUMER. I AM HOPING THAT THERE WILL BE A CLASS ACTION SUITE FILED ON THE CONSUMER'S BEHALF EITHER BY AN INDIVIDUAL, THE STATE OR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. *TR

IN JULY OF '08, MY WIFE CALLED TO TELL ME SHE WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH OUR TRUCK. SHE WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, AS SHE REPORTED A BRAKE FAILURE THAT AND WAS NEARLY IN AN ACCIDENT. SHE WAS EXITING A PARKING LOT TO A BUSY ROAD. AS SHE APPROACHED THE END OF THE PARKING LOT, SHE BRAKED TO WAIT FOR A CLEARING IN TRAFFIC. SHE SAID THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THE TRUCK MADE A LOUD RUMBLING NOISE, AND THE TRUCK ROLLED OUT TO THE EDGE OF THE BUSY STREET UNTIL SHE PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STOPPED THE TRUCK. SHE LEFT IT THERE AND WAITED FOR ME, AFRAID TO MOVE IT. I INSPECTED THE TRUCK AND FOUND NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. I FIGURED THAT THERE WAS A FAULT WITH THE ABS SYSTEM, WHICH WENT AWAY AFTER THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF AND THE SYSTEM WAS REBOOTED/SELF TESTED. ON AUGUST 22, 2008, THE FAULT RETURNED. MY WIFE BACKED THE TRUCK OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, AND THE TRUCK DISPLAYED THE SAME SYMPTOMS WHEN SHE TRIED TO STOP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVEWAY. SHE AVOIDED HITTING A PARKED VEHICLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. SHE LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING SO AS TO NOT RESET THE ABS COMPUTER, AND CALLED ME OUT TO CHECK THE TRUCK. I COULD FIND NO MECHANICAL FAULT, AND FOUND THE ABS FULLY ENGAGING WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES, RESULTING IN VERY LITTLE STOPPING POWER. PUMPING THE BRAKES CAUSE NEAR FULL APPLICATION OF BRAKING FORCE, EVEN AT LIGHT PEDAL PRESSURE. I DETERMINED THAT IT WAS AN ABS ISSUE. BOTH TIMES THE FAULT OCCURRED, THE "BRAKE" LIGHT ILLUMINATED. TURNING OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTARTING RESOLVED THE PROBLEM, CONFIRMING MY SUSPICION OF A SOFTWARE FAULT. I SEARCHED ON LINE AND FOUND A NISSAN TSB THAT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO DIRITO BROTHERS NISSAN IN CONCORD, CA TO HAVE THE TSB APPLIED, WHICH INVOLVED A ABS SOFTWARE UPDATE. I WAS SURPRISED AND UPSET TO LEARN THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AS THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS CONSIDERED AN "ADJUSTMENT." I WAS CHARGED $150 FOR THIS SERVICE. THE SERVICE WRITER STATED HE SAW A NUMBER OF TRUCKS WITH THE PROBLEM. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN WAS BROUGHT IN FOR EXHAUST MAINTENANCE. UPON INSPECTION, MECHANICS NOTICED AXLE SEAL LEAKS ON BOTH REAR TIRES. NISSAN DEALER OFFERED TO REPLACED SEALS ALTHOUGH VEHICLE IS 7000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN WARRANTY WORK WAS INITIATED, DEALER THEN STATED THAT BOTH REAR AXLES WERE NOW DAMAGED DUE TO THE FAULTY AXLE SEALS. NISSAN OFFERED NO COVERAGE FOR THE AXLES, AND STATED THAT AXLE SEALS COULD STILL BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT WOULD ONLY ACT AS A "BANDAID" FOR ABOUT 1000 MILES BEFORE LEAKING WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. AT THIS POINT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE.

THE TAIL PIPE HAD FALLEN OFF AND BURNED DOZENS OF ELECTRICAL WIRES. THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES ON THE NET AND TO DEALERS. IT SHOULD STRONGLY BE NOTED THAT HAD THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED ON NY I-90 WHERE THERE IS NO SAFE PLACE TO PULL OFF OR AT NIGHT ANYWHERE, MANY LIVES WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE TACHOMETER HIT 3500 RPM AND THE ENGINE WENT FLAT. THERE WAS NO TYPE OF WARNING LIGHTS, IT WOULD REV UP TILL IT REACHED 3500 RPM AND THEN IT WOULD JUST CUT OUT LIKE IT HAD HIT THE REV LIMITER. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT A LOW SPEED MISFIRE WAS THE ONLY CODE IN THE MEMORY AND THEY FELT THE PROBLEM WITH THE RPM WAS THE FUEL PUMP AS THEY HAD ALREADY REPLACED TWO 04 TITAN FUEL PUMPS. I CALLED BACK SEVERAL DAYS LATER AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS NOT THE PUMP BUT THAT TWO OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WERE DAMAGED DUE TO THE MISFIRE. THEY HAD THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD UNHOOKED AND THE TRUCK RAN FINE. I HAD BOTH OF THE CONVERTERS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP WAS ONLY PUTTING OUT 34 PSI AT IDLE AND SHOULD BE 60. THEY ALSO SAID BECAUSE OF THE LOW FUEL PRESSURE THAT BOTH OF THE FRONT CONVERTERS WERE DAMAGED AND WERE NOW FAILING. THEY TOO STATED THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE 04 FUEL PUMPS. I CONTACTED NISSAN (FILE NUMBER 6258543) AND ABOUT THIS AND RECEIVED NO HELP OTHER THAN BEING TOLD TO "HAVE A NICE DAY!' I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND DOZEN OF INCIDENTS WHERE THIS HAS HAPPEN TO OTHER OWNERS AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO STEM FROM A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM ON THE 2004 TITAN. IN SOME CASES THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED WHEN THE CATALYTIC EXPLODED UPON THE RAW FUEL FROM THE MISFIRE REACHING THE CONVERTER. IT EXPLODED SENDING PIECES OF THE CONVERTER INTO THE ENGINE CYLINDER. NISSAN HAS NO TYPE OF SCREEN OR MESH IN THE CONVERTER TO CONTAIN ANY PIECES IN CASE OF A FAILURE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS PASSING THE SEMI WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE COMING HEAD ON, THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FATALITIES. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED! *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN BRAKES NOT SEEMING TO WORK AS THEY SHOULD. FOUND REAR AXLE SEAL HAS FAILED SPRAYING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ON BRAKE ROTOR. WILL HAVE TO HAVE SEAL REPLACED. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. ATTEMPTING TO CROSS TRAFFIC WHEN REAR DIFFERENTIAL BROKE INTERNALLY AND HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED FROM SCENE (NEARLY HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC). THIS IS A KNOWN CONSUMER PROBLEM, THAT HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY DENIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF HAVING THESE UNITS REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES!! THE POTENTIAL EXISTS TO HAVE THE REAR WHEELS TO BECOME LOCKED UP IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE!!!!!! WHY HAS NO INVESTIGATION BEEN OPENED?? SEVERAL CONSUMERS HAVE GONE TO AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT BECAUSE OF THE HIGH FAILURE RATE. THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING IN 2004-2006 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES!!!! *TR

AS I WAS LEAVING MY HOME 8/05/2008 MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN PU CAME TO AN COMPLETE STOP BECAUSE THE REAR AXLE LOCKED UP. DEALERSHIP STATED THE REAR SEALS GAVE OUT BECAUSE OF CORROSION NEAR SEAL AREA. THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES CAME APART ON BOTH SIDES AND LODGED IN THE WHEELS CAUSING THEM TO LOCK UP. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE. LEAKING OIL. *TR

REAR AXLE SEALS DEFECTIVE. LEAKING IS BAD WHEREAS IT IS COVERING BRAKES. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED TWICE BY 2 SEPARATE MECHANICS AND THE DEALER AND IT WAS VERIFIED. I ALSO CONDUCTED MY OWN PERSONAL SURVEY AND FOUND THAT 3 OUT OF FIVE TITAN AND ARMADAS OWNERS HAD TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. *TR

I HEAR A CLUNK FROM THE REAR END WHENEVER I SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, KIND OF LIKE IF A U-JOINT WAS GOING OUT. I ALSO HEAR A LOW PITCH WHINE AT ACCELERATION 50-60 MPH, BUT DON'T HEAR IT UPON DECELERATION. I ALSO HAVE A REAR AXEL LEAK ON PASSENGER SIDE, AND NOTICED THAT MY REAR DIFFS PAINT IS PEELING WHICH LOOKS TO BE FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT. *TR

THE TAILPIPE FELL OFF OF MY TRUCK. RESULTING IN THE HOT EXHAUST TO BE VENTED ONTO A REAR WIRING HARNESS AND THUS MELTING IT. ALONG WITH THE MELTED WIRING HARNESSES, THE ECM AND MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR WERE SHORTED OUT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS WILL BE OVER $2000 TO FIX AND WILL BE PAID FOR STRAIGHT OUT OF MY POCKET. THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER EXHAUST BECAUSE IT SUPPOSEDLY IS A REGULARLY MAINTAINED PART. THIS TRUCK IS A 2WD MODEL WITH 305/50X20 WHEELS/TIRES , SO IT OBVIOUSLY IS NOT USED FOR OFF-ROAD PURPOSES NOR HAS IT BEEN USED TO TOW ANYTHING. WHEN THE TAILPIPE BROKE, THE TRUCK WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN A SMOOTH BLACK TOP HIGHWAY AND NOTHING WAS RAN OVER IN THE ROAD SUCH AS AN ANIMAL OR DEBRIS THAT WOULD CAUSE THE TAILPIPE TO FALL OFF. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED BUT WITH ONLY 30K MILES ON IT AND ONLY DROVE IT 1500 MILES SINCE PURCHASING IT. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN 4WD. I HAVE HAD TWO AXLE SEAL LEAKS FROM NORMAL DRIVING AND OCCASIONAL USE ON A DIRT ROAD. FIRST ONE AT 59,000 AND THE SECOND AT 66,000 MILES. THE FIRST ONE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER-THE SECOND BLEW SO BADLY THAT I HAD TO GO TO A LOCAL SHOP TO GET IT DONE AT MY EXPENSE. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED AND LEAKING. NISSAN DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED PROBLEM, BUT NISSAN REFUSED TO FIX PROBLEM.

THE AXLE HOUSING SEALS WERE LEAKING ON MY 2004 TITAN SO I BROUGHT IT TO A NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. THE SERVICE MEMBER INFORMED ME THAT REPLACING THE SEALS WOULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY HAD ALREADY TRIED ON NUMEROUS OTHER TRUCKS AND THE NEW SEALS CONTINUED TO LEAK. PENCE NISSAN REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR END UNIT AS THEY DID WITH OTHER TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE REPLACEMENT UNIT WAS NOT THE SAME THAT CAME ON THE TRUCK. I ASKED THE SERVICE MEMBER WHY AND HE STATED THE ORIGINAL UNIT HAS BEEN PROBLEMATIC. *TR

I HAD TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE ON MY TRUCK. THE PEDAL GOES COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR INTERMITTENTLY DURING DRIVING. DEALER REPORTS THEY CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS EVEN AFTER SHOWING THEM THAT THE PEDAL DOES GO TO THE FLOOR. I BELIEVE IT IS A FAULTY MASTER CYLINDER OR BRAKE BOOSTER, AND CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH IF IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY OR AT ANY SIGNIFICANT SPEED. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A TECH BULLETIN AND A RECALL NOTICE SENT OUT ASAP, AND THE REPAIRS TO BE MADE UNDER WARRANTY BY NISSAN. *TR

2004 TITAN PICKUP; I HAD FRONT END ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE AND FOUR ALIGNMENTS AND THREE SETS OF TIRES LATER I FINALLY GOT THE ALIGNMENT RIGHT WITH A PRIVATE BUSINESS.

NOTICED THAT THE REAR TIRES HAD FLUID RUNNING FROM THE BRAKES, WHEN LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM FURTHER IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SEALS WERE LEAKING. THE REAR AXLE ON MY TRUCK HAS ONLY 55K MILES. EVERYONE I SPOKE TO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SAYS IT IS UNUSUAL THAT BOTH SIDES WOULD LEAD AT THE SAME TIME. THE TRUCK WAS IN FOR REPAIR DUE TO A ACCIDENT. NOW THE REAR LOCATION WAS NOT TOUCHING DURING THE REPAIR AND THE LEAK WAS NOTICED AFTER THE REPAIR WORK WAS COMPLETED. *TR

LEFT & RIGHT REAR AXLE SEALS 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 85000 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 REFUSES TO 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

DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE (GEARS ARE POPPING AND BANGING). SOME MODELS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO LOCK UP DURING HIGHWAY USE, MINE HAS NOT AS OF YET AS IT IS AT THIS POINT INOPERABLE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR MECHANISM FREEZES. DOOR CAN BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE BUT WILL NOT LATCH AND CLOSE PROPERLY. THIS CAUSE THE DRIVER TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED OR TO LOCK THEMSELVES IN THE CAR, TO TRY AND DEFEAT THE LATCH MECHANISM. NISSAN DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED, BUT THEY CLAIM NO MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBILITY, ALTHOUGH THEY DO HAVE A $500 FIX, FOR THIS NON-SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. *TR

TURNED ON ENGINE AND TRIED TO SHIFT FROM PARK. I HEARD A CRACK AND A PART FELL OUT OF THE COLUMN SHIFT ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL AND COULD NOT BE PUT IN GEAR. I ONLY REALIZED THIS AS THE CAR ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NISSIN DEALER. I DID FIND OUT A PARTIAL RECALL WAS STARTED FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE REAR AXLE SEALS ON MY '04 NISSAN TITAN, ARE LEAKING. THIS IS APPARENTLY CAUSED BY A POORLY DESIGNED BREATHER VALVE. I HAVE CHECKED MANY FORUMS, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. MY TRUCK IS, AND HAS BEEN FOR A WHILE, OUT OF WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THIS SEEMS THE PROBLEM IS A DEFECT, AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH. HOWEVER, THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I HAVE HAD LOOK AT IT, DOES NOT SEE IT THAT WAY. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING: HTTP://WWW.TITANTALK.COM/FORUMS/TITAN-ENGINE-TRANSMISSION-DRIVETRAIN/42837-REAR-AXLE-SEALS-LEAKS-PLEASE-REPORT.HTML. *TR

I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 65 & 70 MPH AND THE ENGINE WENT INTO FAIL SAFE MODE AND BASICALLY RAN AT IDLE SPEED (10 MILES PER HOUR). I PARKED THE TRUCK, TURNED OFF ENGINE, RESTARTED, IT REMAINED IN IDLE SPEED ONLY, TURNED OFF ENGINE AND LEFT OFF FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES - IT STARTED AND RAN NORMAL. DEALER REPLACED ECM. THIS OCCURRED IN MAY 2007 AND THEN MY SON WAS DRIVING TODAY APRIL 2, 2008 AT ABOUT 45 MPH AND ENGINE JUST CUT OFF COMPLETELY (NOW AT THE DEALER). THIS IS HIGH RISK - IMAGINE TURNING ACROSS A LANE OF TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE QUITTING OR PULLING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY AND TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED AND ENGINE QUITTING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE AND RATTLE.

THE STEERING RACK FORCE WAS ADJUSTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE IS FIVE MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WILL NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE.

BOUGHT THE NISSAN TITAN USED IN NOVEMBER OF 2007. I RECENTLY FOUND A WET SPOT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL (INSIDE) UNDER THE BRAKE ROTOR. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TITAN. IT'S A LEAKING AXLE SEAL. THIS LEAK WAS CAUSING BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK AROUND AND POSSIBLE ONTO THE BRAKE ROTOR, CALIPERS, AND PADS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM DUE TO POSSIBLE FIRE AND OR BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

AT 18,047 MILES I PULLED MY TRAVEL TRAILER 850 MILES . AFTER THE TRIP THE REAR DRIVE MEMBER STARTED WHINING. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER, THAT EVALUATED THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE COMPLETE REAR DRIVE MEMBER, IF THIS HAD LOCKED UP IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SEVERE ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

NISSAN NORTH AMERICA HAS INCORRECTLY DEFINED THE CONDITION "BRAKE JUDDER" AS STEERING WHEEL SHAKE, BODY VIBRATION OR BRAKE PEDAL PULSATION WHILE BRAKING (EMPHASIS MINE), ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MY PROBLEM MANIFESTED ITSELF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHILE NO BRAKING WAS BEING ACCOMPLISHED, AND WAS EXTREME AFTER THE PURCHASE OF NEW PREMIUM TIRES (TOYO OPEN COUNTRY H/T). WHILE A FIX HAS BEEN OFFERED FOR "BRAKE JUDDER" AS NISSAN DEFINES IT, I WAS TOLD AT TWO DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERS THAT IT WOULD NOT REMEDY MY PROBLEM. MY PROBLEM SURFACED BEFORE THE 36 MONTH/ UNLIMITED MILEAGE LIMITATION, BUT I DID NOT UTILIZE THE WARRANTY COVERAGE BECAUSE MY SITUATION DID NOT FIT THE DEFINITION. AN INDEPENDENT TIRE DEALER MECHANIC (WHO USED TO WORK FOR NISSAN) INDICATED THAT DEFECTIVE ROTORS WERE INDEED THE PROBLEM, AND INTERNET FORUMS AND LEMON LAW WEBSITES SUPPORTED HIS CLAIM. SINCE I HAD EXCEEDED THE 36 MONTH LIMIT BY 90 DAYS, I ELECTED TO LET THE LOCAL INDEPENDENT TIRE DEALER INSTALL THE NISSAN PARTS. HE WAS CORRECT! PROBLEM SOLVED (AT LEAST FOR NOW). I CALLED NISSANS CONSUMER AFFAIRS LINE TO COMPLAIN, AND TO LET THEM KNOW THAT I FELT THAT A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME SAFETY IMPLICATIONS INVOLVED--AND NOT THE COMPANY COST SAVING MEASURES OF A COUPLE OF TSBS AND A FEEBLY MODIFIED BASIC AUTO WARRANTY. NISSAN IS ACUTELY AWARE THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. SHE ASKED ME WHAT NISSAN NA COULD DO FOR ME? I REPLIED, "PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR THAT IT COST ME TO FIX MY TRUCK, WHICH TOTAL $747.65." SHE ASKED IF I HAD THE RECEIPTS FOR THE REPAIRS AND I ANSWERED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE. WHEN I DISCLOSED THAT AND INDEPENDENT TIRE DEALER HAD INSTALLED THE NISSAN PARTS (DONE BY A FORMER NISSAN TECHNICIAN), REIMBURSEMENT FOR PARTS AND LABOR WERE RESOLUTELY DENIED BECAUSE A NISSAN DEALER DIDN'T DO THE JOB (THE SAME FOLKS WHO TOLD ME I NO LONGER HAD WARRANTY COVERAGE, AND THAT THE FIX" WOULD NOT REMEDY MY PARTICULAR PROBLEM). *TR UPDATED 03/17/08

WHEN TRYING TO STOP, AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THERE IS A VIBRATION FROM UNDER THE HOOD; CAN ALSO SMELL BRAKE FLUID IN THE CAB. TOOK THE TRUCK IN ONCE FOR THE VIBRATION RECALL AND THEY REPLACED THE CALIPERS, ROTORS AND PADS. THEN STARTED HAVING THE ABOVE PROBLEM AGAIN AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED REPROGRAMMED AND SOME SWITCHES ON THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED REPLACING ($550). HAVE HAD IT BACK 1 MONTH NOW AND DOING IT AGAIN. LUCKILY THIS TIME WAS CLOSE TO DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT IN AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING I NEED A NEW POWER BRAKE BOOSTER ($700). HAVE OWNED 5 OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES AND NEVER HAD THIS MUCH OF A PROBLEM, AND WONDER DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED FOR THESE PROBLEMS THAT WE ARE HAVING WITH THE BRAKES. *TR

BOUGHT 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH 36,000 MILES. BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. TRUCK WAS MAKING A WHINING NOISE FROM THE REAR.

LOSS OF SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO A FAILED OR WEAKENED HOSE CLAMP. NISSAN DEALER INFORMED ME THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND A REPAIR KIT HAD BEEN DEVELOPED AS A FIX, HOWEVER NO CUSTOMER/OWNER NOTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM WAS MADE. WHY WASN'T RECALL ISSUED? WAS 60 MILES SOUTH OF ATLANTA WHEN DISCOVERED ONLY BY CHANCE DURING A WALK AROUND AFTER GETTING GAS.

I CURRENTLY HAVE 67K ON IT, AND I HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR 3 DAY WHILE WAITING ON NISSAN CORP TO DECIDE IF THEY WOULD STILL COVER THE BRAKE DEFECT. THE DEALER TOLD US THEY COULD ONLY TURN THE ROTORS AND REPLACE THE PADS, WHICH THEY DID 2X'S. NOW IT NEEDS NEW ROTORS AND PADS, AND SUDDENLY THE RECALL IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT, SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY OVER $500 TO GET THIS DONE. I REFUSE, AND I AM STILL WAITING ON NISSAN CORP TO CALL ME.

AFTER APPROX 38,000 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SEAL REQUIRED REPLACEMENT DUE TO EXCESSIVE LEAKAGE. AT 43,600 MILES THE REAR AXLE HAS FAILED, ONE MECHANIC THOUGHT IT WAS AS SIMPLE AS THE CLUTCH PLATES STICKING WHICH CAUSED THE REAR TIRES TO TURN THE SAME SPEED WHEN TURNING CAUSING THE INSIDE TIRE TO SPIN OUT. LOUD BANGING STARTED TO OCCUR ABOUT 60 MILES BEFORE TOTAL FAILURE, IN 40 MILE BEFORE, WHEN LEAVING A GAS STATION THE TRUCK HAD SHAKEN VIOLENTLY ON TAKE OFF THEN SUBSIDED AS ACCELERATION INCREASED. WITH ANY SMALL TURN, THE LOUD BANGING RETURNED. ON SHARP TURNS THE TRUCK SEEMED TO PULL IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, EVEN AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 20 MPH. I DECIDED TO PUT THE TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE, WHICH HELPED SOMEWHAT, PROBABLY TAKING SOME OF THE LOADING OFF THE REAR AXLE, BUT THE DRIVE WASN'T EASY. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT MY TITAN AND AFTER RAISING THE REAR END AND SPINNING THE TIRES HE SAID THE SPIDER GEAR WAS SHOT AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER 50 MILES AWAY, DROPPED THE TRUCK OFF BECAUSE THEY WERE CLOSED BUT DID HAVE THE CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EARLIER. THE SERVICE REP GUESSED THE REAR OF MY TRUCK BEFORE I COULD SAY ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY REAR AXLE. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY THE SERVICE REP CALLED ME AND SAID THE REAR AXLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, WHEN THE FIRST MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM, I NOTICED BOTH SEALS ON THE AXLE WERE LEAKING, THE DRIVER SIDE EXCESSIVELY. I USE MY TITAN FOR EVERYDAY COMMUTE AND OFTEN TOW MY 4,000 POUND TRAVEL TRAILER. WHEN TOWING AND TURNING SHARPLY, SOMETIMES THE INSIDE WHEEL WOULD SPIN OUT, I THOUGHT THIS MAY BE NORMAL BUT I GUESS WHEN UNDER LOAD THE DIFFERENTIAL DOES NOT RELEASE PROPERLY CAUSING THE SPIN. WHEN FINAL FAILURE OCCURRED, THE REAR END WOULD SLIP OR SKIP AS IF GEARS WERE MISSING. WHEN I PARKED THE TRUCK FOR THE LAST TIME IT HAD MOVED SEVERAL INCHES BACK UNTIL ANOTHER GEAR ENGAGED. *TR

BOTH OF MY REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING ON MY 2004 TITAN[67000 MILES] . MY DEALER POINTED THIS OUT TO ME WHILE HE WAS PERFORMING SERVICE ON MY TRUCK. FLUID WAS ALL OF THE INSIDE OF THE REAR WHEELS. THIS TRUCK HAS NEVER TOWED AND HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD. TRUCK IS STOCK. *JB

THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN AND WERE REPLACED, HOWEVER, THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 7,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2004 TITAN CREW CAB WITH TOW PACKAGE AND I HAVE 80,000 MI. ON THIS TRUCK. THROUGHOUT THE OWNERSHIP IT HAS BEEN RELIABLE FOR WORK AND PLEASURE. I DO TOW A TRAILER, AVG. WEIGHT IS 4000 LBS.. I HAVE HAD FRONT BRAKE ISSUES, NISSAN TOOK CARE OF UNTIL IT WAS 3YR.S OLD, HOWEVER SINCE I HAVE INSTALLED AMERICAN MADE DRILLED ROTORS. THE REAR WAS REPLACED AT 71K, IT IS A DANA REAR AND USES GEARS MADE IN CHINA. IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER IT WILL NOT LAST LONG AGAIN. THE PROBLEM IS NOT DESIGN ITSELF IT IS THE QUALITY OF THE METAL BEING USED FOR THE GEARS. ANY CLUNKING, POPPING SOUNDS FROM REAR IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED! OTHERWISE IT IS A GOOD TRUCK FOR THE MONEY. *JB

THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, AND NUMBER OF CYLINDERS WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 63,000.

TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A 30K MILE CHECK UP AND THEY FOUND THE REAR AXLE SEAL TO BE LEAKING. THE SEAL WAS REPLACED BUT WITH THE SAME PART AS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED SO I WORRY THAT I WILL HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN ONCE OUT OF WARRANTY.

MY NISSAN TITAN CREWS BRAKES WERE NOT PERFORMING WELL ON A TRIP I TOOK. AFTER GETTING HOME I NOTICED OIL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AT BOTH REAR BRAKES. THE REAR DIFF. WAS LEAKING ALL OVER THE BRAKE BACKING PLATE TO THE EXTENT THAT OIL WAS BEING SLUNG THROUGHOUT THE WHEEL WELL. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER YET SINCE I JUST FOUND THIS PROBLEM BUT I AM AT 38,000 MI. JUST 2000 MI. OUT OF WARRANTY. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PADS AND ROTORS DUE TO A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE RATTLED.

RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING, FLUID LEAKING ONTO BRAKE ASSEMBLY; LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL SEEPING. SEALS HAD BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE. ALL PROBLEMS FIXED BY DEALER, BUT NISSAN SHOULD USE AN IMPROVED AXLE SEAL, AND A DIFFERENT AXLE VENT SYSTEM. THE VENT DOES NOT ALLOW AIR PRESSURE TO RETURN INTO THE AXLE HOUSING WHEN THERE IS A NEGATIVE PRESSURE SITUATION. A LONG VENT HOSE RUN UPWARDS IN THE BODY WITH A FILTER IS A SUGGESTED SOLUTION ON WWW.TITANTALK.COM, AND PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS AXLE SEAL FAILURES HAVE PERFORMED THIS FIX AND NO LONGER EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL ALL TITANS AND PATHFINDERS WITH THIS AXLE VENT SYSTEM AND REPAIR THE VENT WITH SOMETHING BETTER.

APPARENTLY, THIS WAS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM/DEFECT WITH MOST NISSAN TITAN ,THOUGH SO FAR NISSAN SEEMS TO BE IGNORING THE PROBLEM.

1) THROUGH NORMAL USE, THE REAR AXLE SEAL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 GAVE OUT AND STARTED TO LEAK ONTO THE BRAKE.

I HAVE MET WITH FERMAN NISSAN SERVICE MANAGER ERIC GREEN, A FERMAN BODY SHOP PROFESSIONAL NAMED 'CHRIS' AND MR. BATTISTA, THE COLLISION CENTER DIRECTOR. ALL CONCUR THERE IS A REAL PAINT ISSUE HOWEVER THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE WAS THE DECISION MAKER ON WARRANTY REPAIRS OF WHICH HE DENIED A CLAIM. THE RUST MUST BE 'PERFORATED' THROUGH ACCORDING TO FERMAN NISSAN WHICH IT IS NOT AS YET.

MY TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC). IT CUTS POWER TO THE DRIVE WHEELS IF ONE OR BOTH START TO SPIN.

FOR SOME REASON MY TRUCK DID NOT COME WITH THIS SWITCH, I AM A SITTING DUCK WHEN IT RAINS IF ONE TIRE SO MUCH AS SLIPS ONE REVOLUTION AS I CAN MASH THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. IN 4X4 IT DOES THE SAME THING AND ONLY IN 4X4 LO WILL THIS VDC TURN ITSELF OFF. I HAVE ASKED DEALERS MANY OF TIMES TO FIX THIS AS IT SHOULD HAVE CAME WITH THIS OPTION AND WAS SOMEHOW MISSED.

I BOUGHT A NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB, NEW, IN 2004. IN JUNE OF 2006 THE BRAKES HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE AND WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT STOPPING THE TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP STATED THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED UPGRADING. THE SALEMAN ALSO NOTED THAT THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BREAKS IN THE NISSAN TITANS AND ARMADAS. THEY UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE. THE PROCESS WAS CALLED " MISC REPROGRAM VDC WITH UPDATE" WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR. THEY FIXED THE ISSUE FOR THAT OCCURENCE. THE BREAKS WORKED UNTIL YESTERDAY, DEC 13, 2006 WHEN THE BREAKS DID THE SAME THING, CAUSING ME TO RUN OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID REAR ENDING INTO ANOTHER CAR. I DID NOT READ IN THE OWNERS MANUAL ANYWHERE , WHERE IT STATED I MUST BRING THE TRUCK IN FOR A COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPGRADE TO MAKE THE BRAKES WORK APPROPRIATELY.

THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 3000 MILES WHEN IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO DETERMINED THE FRONT BRAKES WERE TOO OLD. THE TWO FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED HOWEVER THE BRAKE PROBLEMS CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS 5 TIMES. THE SIXTH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ALL FOUR ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERN BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CONTINUED WITH THE BRAKES PROBLEM AND IT HAS REPRESENTED A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. UPDATED 9/13/2006 - WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THERE WAS A POPPING SOUND, THE PEDAL VIBRATED AND THE PEDAL FELL TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKES ON THE RIGHT SIDE WERE CRACKED AND THE ONES ON THE LEFT SIDE WERE ABOUT TO CRACK. THE LAST TECHNICIAN WHO WORKED ON THE VEHICLE TOLD THE CONSUMER SHE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE THE CAR. *NM

28,800 +/- MILES TOTAL WHEN DIFFERENTIAL BLEW ON MY 2004 TITAN SE WITH BIG TOW PACKAGE. I WAS TOWING MY WEEKEND WARRIOR FB2600 WHEN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BLEW OUT UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE TOWED THIS TRAILER WITH THAT TRUCK FOR ABOUT AN AVERAGE TOTAL OF 3000 MILES. TOTAL TRAILER WEIGHT LOADED APPROX. 9200-9600 LBS. *NM

AXLE SEAL LEAK. RIGHT REAR SEAL. FLUID CAUSED PARKING BRAKE TO SLIP SLIGHTLY. OCCURRED AT 37,000 MILES ON 2004 NISSAN TITAN 4X4. DEALER REPAIRED AND REPLACED UNDER NISSAN 60,000 MILE POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY. [FORUM MEMBERS GENERALLY BELIEVE THE REAR AXLE BREATHER ELEMENT, (A ONE WAY CHECK VALVE), CREATES A VACUUM THAT SUCKS THE SEALS, THEREBY CREATING THE LEAK. SOME EVEN REMOVE THE ELEMENT AND INSTALL TUBING INTO THEIR TAIL LIGHT TO ALLEVIATE THE CHECK VALVE AND STILL PREVENT WATER INTRUSION INTO THE DIFFERENTIAL/AXLE]. *JB

BRAKES GO TO FLOOR, HAVE LITTLE BRAKING AND BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES DURING DECENT DOWN HILLS. THAT IS A BAD TIME TO LOSE THE BRAKES. *NM

WATER LEAKS INSIDE OF TRUCK THROUGH THE FIRE WALL. A/C DRAIN HOSE FIX WAS DONE BUT IT STILL LEAKS WATER. DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO REPAIR. WATER INSIDE OF TRUCK CAUSED MOLD TO GROW IN THE CARPET AND SPORES INTO THE HVAC SYSTEM. THIS CAUSED TWO PEOPLE TO HAVE TO GO TO THE DOCTOR FOR DIFFICULTY BREATHING. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR 1 1/2 YEARS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THE BRAKES SHOOK, VIBRATED AND STOPPING POWER WAS DIMINISHED. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS FIVE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED AFTER 4,000 MILES. THE FIFTH TIME THE FRONT PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED AT 27,000 MILES. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE OF THE MILEAGE IN BETWEEN. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING REPAIR.

REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING, WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DIFFERENTIAL OIL GETTING ONTO THE REAR BRAKES CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION CAME OUT OF THE PARK POSITION AND BEGAN ROLLING WHILE AT THE TOP OF A DRIVEWAY. A CHILD IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE DURING THE INCIDENT WHICH RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE RUNNING OVER THE CHILD. THE CHILD WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND SUFFERED CONTUSIONS. THE VEHICLE HIT A TREE AND THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE COMPANY WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THERE WAS A RECALL, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 04V408000 REGARDING THE POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:COLUMN SHIFT ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN.

REAR AXLE REPLACED DUE TO FAILED REAR DIFFERENTIAL. JUST OVER 20K MILES. *JB

THE SEAT BELT RETRACTORS IN THE REAR ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY DO NOT ALLOW FOR MOVEMENT, AND GET TIGHTER AND TIGHTER UNTIL YOU HAVE TO UNBUCKLE (DEFEATING THE PURPOSE OF A SEAT BELT) AND READJUST. SEE THE OTHER IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE FOR DETAILS. MY PROBLEM IS JUST AS THEY DESCRIBE. IN DEALING WITH THE NISSAN DEALER, THEY FIRST SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE SERVICE WRITER TO THE VEHICLE, AND DEMONSTRATED THE PROBLEM FOR HIM. HE THEN REPLIED "OH THAT PROBLEM (I HAD MADE THE PROBLEM PERFECTLY CLEAR WHEN I TOOK IT IN), WELL, THEY ALL DO THAT. WE HAD ANOTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAIN, AND WE CHECKED AN 06 MODEL, AND THEY WORK THE SAME WAY". ALL THAT MEANS IS THAT 04 AND 06 ARE DEFECTIVE, AND PROBABLY THE 05 AS WELL. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN TO SERVICE THIS ISSUE THREE TIMES, ALWAYS WITH THE SAME RESULT: DENIAL THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS, AND THEN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT "THEY ALL DO THAT" (AND IMPLYING THAT THEY CAN'T FIX IT SINCE "THEY ALL DO THAT"). YESTERDAY A SERVICE WRITER ADMITTED NISSAN WAS AWARE, WORKING ON A FIX, BUT DIDN'T HAVE ONE YET. 800-NISSAN1 DENIES THAT ANY DEFECT INVESTIGATION (OR SOLUTION) IS UNDER WAY ON THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS NOT BEING HONEST. THE FOLLOWING SEEMS CLEAR FROM MY EXPERIENCE AND THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE: 1) THE DEFECT EXISTS, 2) NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT'S EXISTENCE, AND 3) NISSAN HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE (THEY ARE STILL PRODUCING VEHICLES WITH THE SAME DEFECT. I INVITE THE NHTSA INVESTIGATOR TO CONTACT ME, VIEW MY VEHICLE TO CONFIRM THE EXISTANCE OF THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. FOR THAT MATTER, VIEW ANY NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB (IN NISSAN'S OWN WORDS: "THEY ALL DO THAT", EVEN THE 06'S). TWO QUESTIONS REMAIN: 1) WHY, ACCORDING TO 800-NISSAN1 (NISSAN WARRANTY CENTER), IS THERE NO INVESTIGATION UNDER WAY OF THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY DEFECT, AND 2) MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHY THE NHTSA SITE DOES NOT LIST THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY DEFECT UNDER THE LIST OF INVESTIGATIONS PRESENTLY UNDERWAY?

REAR AXLE LEAKS AND DIFFERENTIAL PINION SEAL LEAKING. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A COMPLETELY NEW REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY INCLUDING DIFFERENTIAL. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TRUCK VIN [XXX] BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR THE DEALERSHIP HAS PUT 2 MASTER CYLINDERS ON IT BUT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM THEY TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD SON WHO IS LEARNING TO DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES BUT IT DID IT TO HIM AND SCARED HIM BECAUSE HE THOUGHT HE HAD NO BRAKES. THE BRAKES ARE REAL SPONGY AND GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IF PRESSED FIRMLY. IN A HARD BRAKING SITUATION SUCH AS ON A STEEP HILL AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKES GOES TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING 2 YEARS. *JB UPDATED 07/6/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

REAR DIFFERENTAL

BRAKE AND REAR END FAILURE. *NM

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH 15,000 MILES. SOON AFTER PURCHASE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE WHEN BRAKING. NOW IT HAS PROGRESSED TO A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WHEN BRAKING, MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM PLANNING TO REPLACE THE ROTORS, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE THE BRAKING SYSTEM BECAUSE LIVES DEPEND ON AN EFFECTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM. *NM

WATER LEAKS INTO CAB CAUSE MOLD TO GROW AND TRUCK TO SMELL. TWO MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY HAVE GOTTEN SICK FROM THE MOLD. TRUCK HAS BEEN IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPAIR BUT IT NEVER FIXES THE PROBLEM AND THE MOLD IN THE AIR CONDITIONING WILL NOT GO AWAY. *JB

INITIAL COMPLAINT TO DEALER WAS GAS TANK NOT FILLING PROPERLY. AFTER TAKING IN FOR REPAIR, TANK BEGAN LEAKING LARGE AMOUNTS OF GAS WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE TAKEN IN TO HAVE TANK FILL HOSE REPAIRED AGAIN. ONE MONTH LATER, AGAIN HAD A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE BEGAN LEAKING WHILE BEING DRIVEN. *NM

EXITED OFF OF TOLL WAY, AND CAME TO A STOP AT THE END OF THE EXIT. ACCELERATED TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. SUDDENLY HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION FELT BUCKING THEN THE ENGINE REVVED UP BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE. PULLED OVER, STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN WITH NO RESPONSE. PUT VEHICLE INTO 4X4 MODE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY ORDERED AND INSTALLED A NEW COMPLETE REAR END. *JB

SINCE PURCHASING MY TRUCK IN AUGUST OF 2004 I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL BRAKE RELATED ISSUES. I'VE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE SAME DEALER FOR SERVICE ON EACH FAILURE/ISSUE. THE BREAK ISSUES EXPERIENCED HAVE BEEN BRAKE LIGHTS TURNING ON, BRAKES SHUDDERING, THE TRUCK NOT BRAKING PROPERLY, BRAKES NOT WORKING UNTIL THE PEDAL WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY PRESSED. RECENTLY THE TRUCK FAILED TO STOP RESULTING IN A REAR END COLLISION. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED/RESURFACED ROTORS, BRAKE PADS AND REPLACED SENSORS DURING THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. HOWEVER, I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE ISSUE AFTER ISSUE REGARDING THE BRAKES. I HAVE HAD OTHER DEFECTS AS WELL, BUT THE BRAKE ISSUES HAVE BEEN THE PRIMARY ISSUE. *NM

REAR END FAILURE. REPLACED REAR END. *NM

LAST APRIL - LEAKING LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL. REPLACED BY DEALER. TODAY (ONE YEAR LATER) - DISCOVERED RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING ON SAME VEHICLE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP -- NEW PART ON ORDER. *NM

NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB, REAR SEAT MIDDLE SHOULDER/ LAP BELT, LOCKS UP WHEN USED, TRAPPING OCCUPANT WHEN BELT LOCKS UP, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO RELEASE, AND THEN REQUIRES OCCUPANT TO GET OUT AND TRY TO RETRACT BELT TO START WORKING AGAIN. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY THE DEALER. THE ROTORS WERE TURNED, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE BRAKES. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRACTION, ABS, AND DIFFERENTIAL LOCK LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE ILLUMINATION.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL GEARS BROKEN EXTREME GRINDING NOISE BUT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP WHERE REAR AXEL WAS REPLACED. *JB

CAN NOT READ COMPUTER-GENERATED INFORMATION IN DAYLIGHT, CLOUDY OR OTHERWISE. INCLUDES GEAR INDICATOR, TOW MODE, MILEAGE, AIR CONDITIONING, ETC. HAD AN ARMY LT. COL. ON HIS KNEES TRYING TO READ THE GAUGES AS WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH LAS VEGAS, NV. PRIOR TO THIS TRIP OUT WEST, ALL OF MY DRIVING HAD BEEN LOCAL AND INFREQUENT (I USE A MORE ECONOMICAL CAR FOR IN-TOWN/LOCAL DRIVING), AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT COMPUTER GENERATED. THIS IS UNSAFE AND I DO NOT WISH TO BE KILLED TRYING TO SEE THE DASH INSTRUMENTS. I HAVE DRIVEN WITH THE RHEOSTAT TURNED ALL THE WAY UP, WITH NO EFFECT/BENEFIT. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK TO TOW MY TRAILER AND TRAVEL. I AM UNSAFE DURING DAYLIGHT AND TOWING A TRAILER AT NIGHT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE NOR PRACTICAL. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER (NISSAN) WHO DIRECTED ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER (JENKINS IN LAKELAND, FL). WHILE THE HEAD OF SERVICE (MR. DUNKIN) AGREED HE COULD NOT READ THE INFORMATION ON A CLOUDY DAY, HIS ONLY ADVICE WAS TO TURN THE RHEOSTAT ALL THE WAY UP, WHICH WAS ALREADY DONE. HE SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE. DID NOT GIVE ME ANY PAPERWORK TO PROVE I WAS THERE. CONDITION IS ON-GOING AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. A PERSON COULD EASILY TAKE FULL ATTENTION OFF OF DRIVING TO TRY TO READ THE GAUGES. THIS COULD AND WOULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THE NUMBER OF FAILURES IS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IN DAYLIGHT. *JB

HAVE BEEN HEARING LOUD "CLUNK" NOISE GENERATING FROM REAR DIFFERENTIAL GETTING WORSE. HAVE FOLLOWED MAINTENANCE INTERVALS, I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP LATER TODAY. *JB

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. *JB

2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH 3 SEPARATE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURES- EACH TIME WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT, STOP SIGN, OR SOMETHING SIMILAR. WHEN PULLING AWAY DIFFERENTIAL WILL BREAK CAUSE VEHICLE TO BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. NEED TO PUT IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TO GET OUT THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. *JB

DROVE FROM PHOENIX TO COLORADO SPRINGS, UPON ARRIVAL FOUND LEAK FROM REAR AXLE SEALS ON BOTH REAR TIRES. *NM

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS LEAKING @ 30,000 MILES. THE DIFFERENTIAL APPEARS TO HAVE PRODUCED SO MUCH HEAT THAT THE PAINT FELL OFF OF THE DIFF COVER AND THE SURFACE HAS RUSTED. *NM

NO SIGNS OF ANY KIND NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. REAR DIFFERENTIAL STARTED TO LEAK FOR COVER REAR WAS DRAINED AND RESEALED. *JB

2ND DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. 1ST WAS AT 3,400 MILES. DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED. THIS ONE HAPPENED TONIGHT AT 15,642 MILES. IS THIS SOME KIND OF JOKE? I MAKE HARD EARNED PAYMENTS ON THIS TRUCK. WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE? PROTECT THE CONSUMER? NISSAN HAS BEEN HUSH HUSH ON THIS BUT THE FAILURE RATE IS MORE THAN ONE IN 200 TRUCKS. I'M GETTING A LAWYER. DO SOMETHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (BESIDES PROTECT THE CORPORATION)*JB

1) LOUD "BANG" FROM REAR-END OF VEHICLE WHEN ACCELERATING AWAY FROM STOP. 2) LOUD "CLUNKING" NOISE FROM REAR-END OF VEHICLE WHEN TURNING AND WHEN SLOWING. DEALER INSPECTED AND FOUND REAR DIFFERENTIAL COMPONENTS BROKEN. 3) DEALER ORDERED COMPLETE NEW REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY, WHICH CONTAINS ALL DIFFERENTIAL COMPONENTS. PARTS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER, NO PROMISE DATE AVAILABLE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ATTEMPTING TO APPLY BRAKE PRESSURE THE BRAKES FAILED RESULTING IN A CRASH. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED LEFT FRONTAL DAMAGE AND IT WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT AND IS REPAIRING THE LEFT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES STILL EXISTS, NO OTHER INSPECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AT THE SCENE.

SEAT BELTS LOCKING UP. SEAT BELTS ON FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR OUTSIDE PASSENGERS HAVE A RETRACT SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT ALLOW PASSENGER TO LEAN FORWARD. BELTS ARE LOCKING UP REQUIRING PASSENGERS TO DISCONNECT BELTS FROM BELT LATCH AND LETTING BELT RETRACT ALL THE WAY BACK TO STORED POSITION. THEN THEY CAN BE PULLED OUT AND REATTACHED AND THEY WORK FOR AWHILE. THEY WILL DO THIS AT ANYTIME. THERE IS NO SET TIME THAT IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENS WITH DIFFERENT PASSENGERS BUT MOSTLY WITH WOMEN. THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT DOES NOT HAVE ANY LOCKUPS. THE SEAT BELTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 4 (FOUR) TIMES TO DATE AND ARE GOING TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AS SOON AS THEY ARE RECEIVED BY DEALER. THEY HAVE BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY. WE HAVE LOST COUNT OF HOW MANY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. PROBABLY 500+. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT BELTS ARE DISCONNECTED WHILE DRIVING AND THEN RECONNECTED LEAVING THE PASSENGERS UNPROTECTED DURING THIS PROCEDURE. BELTS JUST GET TIGHTER AND TIGHTER UNTIL THEY HAVE TO BE RELEASED AND RESET. *NM

NOTICED A SMALL LEAK AT THE RIGHT END OF REAR AXLE. ALSO, ALL THE PAINT WAS "COOKED" OFF THE REAR DIFF COVER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE ENTIRE REAR END ASSY WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKES BECAME SOFT AND SPONGY, AND THEN THE FRONT END BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND TURNED THE ROTORS. THE PROBLEM RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE CONTACT STATED THE ROTORS ARE NOT THE CORRECT SIZE FOR THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 03/17/06. *JB

AT APPROXIMATELY 7000 MILES I NOTED THAT ALL OF THE PAINT HAD BURNED OFF THE REAR AXLE, TOOK TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR ADVISE, THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO DEFECT. OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS THE REAR END BEGAN TO MAKE EXCESSIVE NOISE AND I RETURNED TRUCK TO DEALER. THEY ADVISED ME I NEEDED A NEW REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY. AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE NEW REAR AXLE THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A VIBRATION AT 25-30 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP 2 SEPARATE VISITS OVER 3 DAYS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. DEALER SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND I AM TO LIVE WITH IT. SEVERAL OTHER TRUCKS HAD REAR AXLES REPLACED. *AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE SHOULDER STRAPS ON THE REAR SEAT BELTS LOCK UP WHILE IN USE. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND THE PASSENGERS CANNOT MOVE AS A RESULT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SEATBELTS, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. OTHER VEHICLES ON THE DEALERSHIP LOT WERE INSPECTED AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER STATES THIS IS HOW THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. UPDATED 03/28/06. *JB

2004 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB PICKUP. I AM RESIDING IN RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION NEW SUBDIVISION WHICH OCCASIONALLY HAS MUD ON THE STREETS. WHEN THE TITAN GOES THROUGH EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF MUD IT LOSES BRAKES. I WENT THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND STOPPED, GOING DOWN THE OPPOSITE SIDE SHOULDER. LUCKILY, NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. BUT, AFTER ROLLING AGAIN AND PUMPING THE BRAKES, THEY RETURNED. WENT THROUGH THE MUDDY STREET AGAIN TO TEST. SAME RESULT APPEARED, NO BRAKES OR VERY LIMITED BRAKES. IN ADDITION, AN AWFUL NOISE WAS MADE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AFTER GOING THROUGH THE MUD OF A PAVED ROAD. THIS IS A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT/INJURY/DEATH AWAITING TO HAPPEN. *AK

PROBLEM WITH NISSAN TITAN 2004-TRAVELING ON 01/08/06 IN NISSAN PICKUP TRUCK W/APPROX. 28,000 MILES ON IT, ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, VEHICLE BEGAN SWAYING VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND SPUN VEHICLE 180 DEGREES FACING NORTH ON THE SHOULDER OF THE SOUTHBOUND LANE OF NYS THRUWAY. TOWING JAYCO 23' TRAVEL TRAILER; THE TRAILER JACK-KNIFED AND HIT VEHICLE. NYS POLICE CALLED A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE VEHICLE'S BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEABLE. IN THE FALL NISSAN SENT A LETTER TO TRUCK OWNERS REGARDING A "BRAKE JUDDER" CONDITION EXTENDING THE WARRANTY PERIOD.UPON RECEIPT OF LETTER, REQUESTED THAT OUR LOCAL DEALER ADDRESS THE ISSUE; WERE INFORMED UNTIL WE EXPERIENCED THE "JUDDER" PROBLEM, REPAIRS COULD NOT COMMENCE. SINCE THAT TIME, TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED, OIL CHANGED, AND NYS INSPECTION IN DECEMBER. CONTACTED NISSAN CORP HEADQUARTERS AND WERE INFORMED FACTORY REP WOULD INSPECT VEHICLE ON 02/02/06 - APPROX 25-DAYS AFTER INCIDENT. LOCAL DEALERSHIP CANNOT INSPECT VEHICLE. NO ASSISTANCE BY NISSAN UNTIL INSPECTION BY FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE DETERMINING FAULT, EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKING SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED! AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM ON SEVERAL AUTO FORUM SITES, IT IS EVIDENT THAT NISSAN TITAN'S HAVE A SERIOUS BRAKE PROBLEM! THERE IS NO RECALL . WE FEAR THAT SOMEONE WILL GET MAIMED OR KILLED! *NM

I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN TITAN 2004 DOWN THE FREEWAY, THE DIFFERENTIAL FAILS ON ME AND I AM PULLING A 6000 LB TRAILER, I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT WHILE THE DIFFERENTIAL IS COMPLETELY MANGLED. MY DEALERSHIP FIXED THE DIFFERENTIAL BY PUTTING A 2005 AXLE IN. THE SECOND TIME WAS THE SAME SITUATION ONLY I WASN'T PULLING A TRAILER, THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN PUT ANOTHER 2005 AXLE IN. THE TRUCK CAUSED ME TO STOP IN TRAFFIC, LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT HAPPENED, THE TRUCK WAS ABLE TO CATCH SOME TEETH IN THE DIFFERENTIAL TO PULL ME OFF THE ROAD. THE FIRST FAILURE HAPPENED AT 8000 MILES ABOUT MARCH 2005, THE SECOND AT 19000 NOVEMBER 2005, JUST RECENTLY I DECIDED NOT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD A QUICK LUBE CHECK MY DIFFERENTIAL OIL. IT WAS BLACK AND HAD QUARTER SIZED CHUNKS OF METAL ON THE PLUG. THIS MEANS THE DIFFERENTIAL IS ABOUT TO FAIL. WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM ON A WINDING ROAD IN A CANYON, WHICH I HAVE TO GO THROUGH OFTEN. I COULD DIE OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE IF THIS UNSAFE TRUCK FAILS IN A BLIND CORNER OR BEND. AT THE SECOND FAILURE THE DEALERSHIP MADE ME SIGN A WAIVER STATING THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX MY DIFFERENTIAL SHOULD IT FAIL AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE THIRD POSSIBLE OCCURRENCE AND THEY SIMPLY SAID CALL NISSAN. I HAVE NO ONE TO TURN TO, MY TRUCK IS CONSTANTLY BREAKING DOWN. THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP ME. MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN WORKED ON THREE TIMES, BOTH TIMES OF DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE THE TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP FOR A MONTH, I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR ONE YEAR AND CURRENTLY HAVE 29000 MILES. NISSAN HAS A BAD PART IN THEIR TRUCKS, PLEASE INVESTIGATE, THERE ARE MANY OTHERS, ALL I CAN DO IS SUGGEST THEY REPORT THEIR PROBLEMS HERE ALSO, PERHAPS THAT WILL HELP. *JB

REAR END FAILURE. NO WARNING INDICATIONS LEADING UP TO IT. THANKFULLY I HAD 4WD TO SAFELY MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. JUST HAPPENED, SO NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM YET. *JB

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE - STARTED CLANGING LOUDER AND LOUDER THE PAST 2 MONTHS UNTIL COMPLETE FAILURE OCCURRED. MADE A LOUD METAL CLASHING NOISE THEN BEGAN SLIPPING THEN JERKING INTO MOTION THEN SLIPPING AND JERKING ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE DEALER. 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 WITH HEAVY TOW PACKAGE. 1 YEAR OLD 28,000 MI. ONLY TOWED WITH IT A 4500 POUND TRAVEL TRAILER ON TWO OCCASIONS APPROXIMATELY 300 MILES TOTAL. *NM

NUMEROUS PROBLEMS HAVE ARISEN WITH MY LEASED 2004 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB. INCLUDING SERIOUS VIBRATION PROBLEMS THAT OCCURRED UPON BRAKING TO THE POINT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED UNTIL THE DEALER FINALLY AGREED TO AT LEAST 'TURN' THE ROTORS. EVENTUALLY BRAKES WERE REPLACED BY DEALER 6 MONTHS AFTER THE INITIAL PROBLEM. CURRENTLY FACING PROBLEMS INCLUDING A NOISE AT STARTUP THAT EVERYONE CAN HEAR EXCEPT THE DEALER MECHANICS, AN OVERFLOW PROBLEM WITH GAS TANK EVEN THOUGH JUST A FEW LITERS HAVE BEEN PUT IN AN EMPTY TANK. ADDITIONALLY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH DRIVER SIDE DOOR REFUSING TO OPEN FROM BOTH THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. DEALER HAS REALIGNED DOOR NUMEROUS TIMES BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES. DEALER STATES THE DOOR PROBLEM IS DUE TO A POOR DESIGN WITH A HEAVY DOOR ON INADEQUATE HINGES. OCCASIONALLY HAVE HAD TO DRIVE WHILE HOLDING DOOR CLOSED. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONSIDERING WEIGHT OF DOOR. THIS TRUCK IS BARELY ONE YEAR OLD AND PROBLEMS JUST KEEP PILING UP WITH LITTLE DEALER SUPPORT OFFERED.*JB

WHILE TOWING A 6,500 LB BOAT WITH MY NISSAN TITAN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BLEW WITH ONLY 6,700 MILES ON THE TRUCK. IT LEFT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF KNOW WHERE AND 3+ HOURS AWAY FROM HOME. NOW I HAVE 12,500 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND I HAVE A FEELING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS GOING TO BLOW AGAIN. I FEEL NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS A ISSUE AND CAN REFER 45 OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR REAR DIFFERENTIAL. *JB

ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH FREEZES IN COLD WEATHER PREVENTING THE DOOR LATCH FROM ENGAGING WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR. THE DOOR WILL NOT SHUT AND HAS TO BE HELD SHUT WHILE DRIVING. *JB

FROM A DEAD STOP I PRESSED THE THROTTLE ABOUT 3/4 THE WAY AND I HEAR A GRINDING NOISE AND I CANNOT MOVE, AS I PULL OVER I AM THINKING HOW AM I GOING TO GET BACK HOME. I THINK ITS A ONE TIME ERROR, I TRY TO MOVE AGAIN, THE GRINDING CONTINUES. I THINK SOME MORE AND PUT THE TRUCK INTO 4 X 4, I CAN MOVE BUT VERY SLOWLY BECAUSE OF THE GEARS MOVING AROUND IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL THIS HAPPENED AT 15,000 MILES AT A STOP SIGN ABOUT 1 MILE AWAY FROM MY HOUSE, I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY OR ANYTHING LIKE A MAIN ROAD OR THEIR MAY HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. *JB

FIRST TIME PULLED A TRAILER AND REAREND BURNT THE GEARS UP 12-13-04. SECOND TIME 12/12/05 PULLED AWAY FROM STOP SIGN AND REREND JUST BROKE IF I HAD BEN IN TRAFFIC I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEN HIT BECAUSE THE TRUCK JUST STOPED THEY REPLACED THE WHOLE REAREND BUT DONT SEEM WILLING TO SHOW THE OLD PARTS OR THE OIL OUT OF THE THING. *NM

REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS REPLACED DUE TO AN ETERNAL FAILURE AT 9,700 MILES. AT AROUND 12,000 MILES THE REAR END STARTED TO CLUNK WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE AND IN AND OUT OF DRIVE. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CLAIMED IT WAS NORMAL AND WAS JUST GEAR LINKAGE BEING LOOSENED UP. NORMAL THOUGH THEY CONFIRMED. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS IN 5 O'CLOCK HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS TURNING INTO A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND HAD TO APPLY HEAVY ACCELERATION. I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND THEN MY TRUCK SAT THERE AND REVVED UP WITH NO MOVEMENT. I HAD CARS APPROACHING FAST WHICH HAD TO SWERVE AROUND ME SINCE I WAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. A PASSERBY STOPPED AND PULLED OVER TO HELP ME PUSH MY TRUCK OUT OF THE BUSY ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CALLED AND THEY PAID FOR THE TRUCK TO ME TOWED BACK. THIS WAS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE SO THEY AGREED TO BUY THE TRUCK BACK. THE FIRST FIX TOOK OVER 1 MONTH TO COMPLETE. THE SERVICE MANAGER AGREED THAT THERE IS A TREND WITH THESE TRUCKS AND INTERNAL FAILURE WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. *JB

REAR END FAILURE. *JB

I AM IN THE MILITARY STATIONED IN VIRGINIA... I HAD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END OF MY TRUCK PRIOR TO THANKSGIVING. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE U JOINTS ARE GOING BAD. DIDN'T SOUND LIKE A U JOINT, SO I ASKED NISSAN WOULD IT BE OK FOR ME TO DRIVE THE TRUCK 440 MILES EACH WAY TO GO HOME TO WV TO SEE MY FAMILY FOR THANKSGIVING AND THEY SAID YES, IT WILL BE FINE. SO I GO HOME AND SAW MY FAMILY, AND THEN THE SATURDAY MORNING AFTER THANKSGIVING I GOT UP EARLY AND WENT AND STOPPED AND GOT GAS. GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT UP AND WHEN TO PUT IT IN GEAR, AND THE WHOLE REAR END JUST GRINDED. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE JUST TO DRIVE TO MY SISTER HOUSE AND CALLED NISSAN. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK FOR 14 DAYS, AND ORDERING A NEW REAR END FOR A 2 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK, THEY DECIDED THAT THEY COULD NOT GET A NEW REAR END DUE TO NATION BACKORDER, SO THEY PULL ONE OFF OF A 06 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 AND THEN I GOT TO RETURN BACK TO VA TO ASSUME MY MILITARY DUTIES, AFTER BEING STUCK IN WV FOR 2 WEEKS. THEY DID GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR, BUT PUT A RESTRICTION ON THE CAR WHEN I COULD ONLY DRIVE 150 MILES A DAY. SO I COULDN'T GO BACK TO WORK IN VA. I DID MISS OUT ON WORK, AND TIME, AND HAD TO USE 2 WEEKS OF MY VACATION DAYS, BUT MOST IMPORTANT, THIS COULD HAVE HAPPEN DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, OR IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND COULD HAVE PUT MY LIFE & OTHERS AROUND ME AT DANGER! NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM, OR FIX IT RIGHT. BEFORE PEOPLE DIE! THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND WHENEVER MY GAS TANK IS LOW AND I GO TO FILL UP AFTER A WHILE GAS WILL START TO GUSH OUT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LIKE ALWAYS THEY CAN'T "DUPLICATE". I KNOW OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WHERE GAS SQUIRTS OUT. THIS IS A HEATH AND SAFTEY ISSUE. THE GAS HAS GUSHED BACK OUT AT ME SEVERAL TIMES.. AND IT HAPPENS ABOUT 30 SECONDS AFTER YOU START PUMPING GAS. *NM

THE TRUCK FIRST BEGAN SHIFTING FUNNY, WHICH LED UP TO SHIFTING WITH A NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. SEARCHED FOR HANGING BRANCHES OR ANYTHING THAT COULD BE MAKING THE NOISE OTHER THEN THE TRUCK. NOTHING. DROVE THE TRUCK ABOUT 500 MILES AFTER FIRST NOTICING THE FUNNY SHIFTING. ONE DAY I PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY PUT IT IN DRIVE, IT HAD SNOWED LIGHTLY, SLIP LIGHT POPPED UP AND HEARD A BANG FOLLOWED BY WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A ZIPPER. TRUCK WOULDN'T MOVE. SOLD TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE PASSENGER'S DOOR WILL NOT LATCH IN COLD WEATHER. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, THEY TOLD HIM THERE WAS NO SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. *AK UPDATED 1/4/2006 - THE DEALER REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LATCH AND HANDLE. *NM

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE IN MY NISSAN TITAN PICKUP. STARTED AS A CLUNK WHEN CHANGING GEARS FROM PARK TO DRIVE AROUND 9,700 MILES ON THE TRUCK. EVENTUALLY LED UP TO A FEELING OF SLACK IN THE DRIVLINE, A FEELING AS IF THE U-JOINTS WERE GOING OUT. BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY ONE DAY AND A LOUND POP FOLLOWED BY GRINDING OCCURED. HAD IT TOWED DOWN TO JOHANSON NISSAN AND THEY REPLACED IT, BUT TOOK OVER 30 DAYS SINCE THERE WAS A NATIONAL BACKORDER FOR THE REAR DIFF. THIS HAPPENDED IN FEBURARY OF 05, AND I WAS #12 ON THE PARTS LIST. REPLACEMENT DIFF ONLY LASTED AROUND 7,000 MILES AND WENT OUT AS WELL. BOTH REAR DIFF FAILURES WERE CAUSED BE BROKEN SPIDER GEARS. DEALERSHIP AGREED TO BUY BACK TRUCK. *NM

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE REAR END HAS COME APART TWICE. THE FIRST REAR END WAS REPLACED BEFORE IT STRANDED ME. THE SECOND WAS REPLACED AFTER IT CAME APART AND THE REAR END LOST ALL MOTION. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS, IT WOULD MOST LIKELY CAUSED A WRECK. *NM

2004 NISSAN TITAN - REAR END AXLE SEALS FAILED AND THE REAR END IS ABOUT TO FAIL. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPING THE FRONT END VIBRATED. TWICE WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, NOTHING HAPPENED AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE OFF THE ROAD, AND DENTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NINE TIMES FOR THESE PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP ROTATED THE TIRES ONCE, CHANGED THE BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, AND DISCS, AND REPLACED THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT VIBRATING AS MUCH, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. *AK UPDATED 12/7/2005. *NM

RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR WARRANTY SERVICE AND WAS MADE AWARE OF A POSSIBLE DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE , DEALER STATED THAT PARTS WOULD BE REPLACED UNDER THE MANUFACTURES' WARRANTY. AFTER WAITING FOR TWO MONTHS I PROCEEDED TO SEARCH INTERNET SITES FOR OTHER FAILURES AND FOUND NUMEROUS FAILURES REPORTED ON SEPARATE SITES. REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO VEHICLE MANUFACTURE AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE OR REPLACEMENT OF FAULTY PARTS. *NM

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AT LEAST 25 OTHER OWNERS THAT I KNOW OF. NISSAN HAS NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. THE FACTORY HAS INCREASED THE FLUID CAPACITY AND NOW USES SYNTHETIC FLUID. ALSO AN ALUMINUM FINNED COVER FOR BETTER HEAT TRANSFER. THIS IS A 'BAND AID' FOR A DIFFERENTIAL THAT IS NOT ABLE TO HANDLE THE WEIGHTS THIS VEHICLE IS DESIGNED TO TOW. FAILURES CONTINUE EVEN AFTER THE BAND AID HAS BEEN PERFORMED. SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD 4 FAILURES ON THE SAME TRUCK!!!! *JB

DT: WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING 70 MPH THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY FOUND THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH A COMPUTER CHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER WITHOUT THE KEYS. WITHIN 30 DAYS, THE VEHICLE TURNED ITSELF OFF WHILE GOING 70 MPH. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. ONCE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE GOING TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER WITH THE KEYS. *AK

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN, WHICH I BOUGHT FROM EAST CAROLINA NISSAN. I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE THREE TIMES FOR REPAIRS TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED PARTS EACH TIME. THE BRAKES STILL DO NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. I WROTE THE MANAGER AND HE SAID HE WOULD NOT REFUND MY MONEY OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE UNDER THE FEDERAL LEMON LAW. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR SEAT BELTS ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. WHEN THE SEAT BELTS ARE IN LOCK MODE AND THEN RELEASED, THE SEAT BELTS LOCK AND WILL NOT PULL OUT FOR USE. DEALERSHIP INSTALLED NEW SEAT BELTS, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY HAD NO INFORMATION ON THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM EXISTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.*AK

NISSAN TITAN 2004 BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WITH A LOUD NOISE LIKE AIR ESCAPING A BALLOON. *TS *JB

2004 TITAN SE WITH BIG TOW PACKAGE. ASD OF 26000 MILES HAVE HAD BRAKES REPLACED FOUR TIMES, THE LAST TIME BY A NISSAN ENGINEER. ALSO A REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER. HAVE ALREADY HAD THE RECALL BRAKES, THOSE WERE PUT ON THE SECOND TIME, AT 21000 AND WERE PROBLEMS SHORTLY AFTER, SO THE RECALLED BRAKE PARTS DO NOT WORK!!! NISSAN CORPORATION TOLD US THAT THEY FELT NO RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO REPLACE OUR VEHICLE. I FEEL A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT COMING UP. AND BY THE WAY, TRUCK STRUGGLES TOWING 6500LBS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS SUPPOSE TO TOW 9500. *JB

REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS GROANING, TOOK TO DEALER HAD IT REPLACED. 2ND DIFFERENTIAL BLEW TOOK IT TO DEALER HAD REPLACED. 3RD DIFFERENTIAL BLEW TOOK IT TO DEALER HAD IT REPLACED. 4TH DIFFERENTIAL BLEW TOOK IT TO DEALER HAD IT REPLACED 5TH DIFFERENTIAL BLEW TOOK IT TO DEALER HAD IT REPLACED. DONE RIGHT ? SOMETHING IS HORRIBLY WRONG WITH MY TRUCK TO HAVE BROKEN 5 DIFFERENTIAL IN 41000 MILES. *JB

BRAKE JUDDER ,LACK OF FORMAL RECALL , DENIAL OF SAFETY ISSUES , LACK OF REPAIR/REPLACEMENT PARTS. *NM

DT: WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT NO PARTICULAR SPEED THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKES. THE BRAKES DO WORK, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL IS AFFECTED. THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER , WHO SAID THEY COULD TURN DOWN THE ROTORS, BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD RETURN. THE CONSUMER DID NOT WANT THE ROTORS TURNED DOWN, HE WANTS THEM REPLACED. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA SEVERAL TIMES, AND THEY WILL NOT RETURN CALLS OR DISCUSS THE ISSUE. THE CONSUMER FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN. NO REPAIRS OR CORRECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AT THIS TIME. THE CONSUMER FELT THIS WAS A TEMPORARY FIX. *AK

ALL PASSENGER SEAT BELTS INTERMITTENTLY GO TO THE CHILD RESTRAINT MODE WHEN BEING USED BY IN THE NORMAL PASSENGER MODE. THE PASSENGER MUST REMOVE THE SEAT BELT, RETURN IT TO THE RETRACTED POSITION, AND RECONNECT THE SEAT BELT. IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN MOST OFTEN ON A BUMPY SURFACE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PRACTICE. SOME VEHICLE OWNERS WILL SURELY DISABLE THE CHILD SAFETY FUNCTION. OTHERS WILL ENDANGER THEIR PASSENGERS BY HAVING THEM REMOVE THE SEAT BELTS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. *NM

NISSAN TITAN PURCHASED JAN 04, IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES NOW TO FIX THE FRONT BRAKES. AFTER ABOUT 7-9K MILES A SEVERE VIBRATION OCCURS FROM THE FRONT BRAKES MAINLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IN MY OPINION PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AS THE WHOLE TRUCK VIBRATES VIOLENTLY. *JB

DT: WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE OWNER NOTICED A SHAKING FEELING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED FOR A STOP LIGHT. THERE WAS EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE PROBLEM BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR SERVICE IN JUNE, AND THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE FIRST BRAKE REPAIR WAS AT 20,000 MILES AND COST $1,000.00. TWO MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIRS DEALERSHIP ACTED AS IF THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. SHAKING AT STOP LIGHTS OCCURRED AGAIN. . OWNER CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED. THE OWNER ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER WHAT THE COMPANY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE OWNER WILL REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS IF IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. HE WILL CONTACT THE NATIONAL NUMBER FOR NISSAN TODAY. THE VEHICLE WAS REGULARLY SERVICED WITH RECORDS AVAILABLE. *AK

GAS TANK "SPEWS" GAS AT YOU WHEN FILLING. THE TANK HAS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL DOES THIS. THE BRAKES "JUDDER" AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE. THEY HAVE BEEN REPAIRED THREE TIMES AND ARE STILL NOT CORRECT. NISSAN REFUSES TO ADMIT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. THERE ARE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ON THE BRAKES. *NM

DT: A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING THE BRAKES FAILED. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST THREE TIMES. WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKES THEY WILL NOT HOLD. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME. THE BRAKES, AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD HIM THAT ROTORS NEEDED REPLACEMENT, AND THEY HAVE BEEN REENGINEERED BY NISSAN. CONSUMER HAS BEEN WAITING AT LEAST 2 MONTHS FOR THE REPLACEMENT. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 8-1-05.*AK

APPROXIMATELY FOUR MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN I GRADUALLY BEGAN EXPERIENCING A 'SHUDDER WHILE BRAKING' PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM QUICKLY ESCALATED AND BECAME GREATER AND GREATER. ON MARCH 30TH, 2005, I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO PASSPORT NISSAN OF MARLOW HEIGHTS, MARYLAND FOR REPAIRS. AT THIS POINT I LEARNED THROUGH THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE PERMANENT REPAIR KIT FOR THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF SERVICE FOR ONE DAY AND THEY RETURNED MY TRUCK INDICATING THAT THEY RESURFACED THE ROTORS AND REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS. THIS PROCEDURE WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM. APPROXIMATELY 4,000 MILES LATER THE 'SHUDDER W/BRAKING' PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED. JUST AS BEFORE THE PROBLEM ESCALATED AND BECAME GREATER AND GREATER. ON JULY 07TH, 2005, I RETURNED MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME REPAIR. ON JULY 12TH, 2005, I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND DISCOVERED THAT NO REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. THE SERVICE MANAGER INDICATED TO ME THAT PARTS WERE ON ORDER. AS OF THE DATE OF THIS REPORT, THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST AND NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A CORRECTIVE REPAIR KIT FOR THIS DEFECT. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO INDICATED THAT NISSAN OF AMERICA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON A SOLUTION. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT AND THERE PROBABLY SHOULD BE ONE. THE BRAKES ON MY TRUCK ARE TERRIBLE AND AT TIME APPEAR INEFFECTIVE, ESPECIALLY IN WET WEATHER. IN MY OPINION NISSAN HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM APPROPRIATELY. I AM AWARE OF OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NONE OF THEM HAVE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION ABOUT THIS DEFECT OR ANYTHING THAT NISSAN IS DOING TO RECTIFY THE DEFECT. *NM

HAVING FRONT ROTORS REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME DUE TO WARPING. FIRST FAILURE OCCOURED AROUND 3000 MILES WITH LOTS OF BRAKE SHUDDER. ROTORS AND ASSOCIATED HARDWARE WERE REPLACED AND PROBLEM RESOLVED. SECOND FAILURE OCCOURING AT 7500 MILES WITH BRAKE SHUDDER. ROTORS REPLACED AGAIN BY DEALER.

I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK IN TWICE NOW FOR THE BRAKES AND THE CARPET BEING SOAKING WET FROM THE TRUCK LEAKING SOMEWHEREAND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT NOT TURNING OFF. THEY RESURFACED MY BRAKES AND SAID THE LEAK WAS FROM THE A/C. THEY ALSO TOLD US ABOUT THE BRAKE PROBLEM WITH THE 2004 TITANS AND THAT THEY WOULD PUT US ON A WAITING LIST FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. WE ARE NOW TAKING IT IN AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE FLOOR IS SOAKING WET AND WE HAVE NOT RAN THE A/C. THE BRAKES ARE SHAKING VIOLENTLY AGAIN, AND NOT TO MENTION THE NEW PROBLEM OF THE CARGO LIGHT TURNING ON BY ITSELF WHEN IT IS PARKED. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 8300 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND I ONLY DRIVE 5 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK. THESE ARE MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT ARE OCCURING IN SUCH SHORT TIME OF HAVING THE TRUCK.

COOLING FAN IS VERY LOUD AND SOUNDS LIKE IT IS GRINDING, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND THAT MANY OWNERS OF THESE TRUCKS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME THING. IF SO MANY ARE COMPLAINING WHY ISN'T SOMETHING BEING DONE.

DT: CONTACT STATES SHE LEASED A VEHICLE FROM LIA NISSAN WITH 17 MILES ON IT IN 9-04. SHE HEARD A SQUEAKING NOISE IN THE BRAKES. ALSO , THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. SHE TOOK VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN 1-05. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER AROUND APRIL OR MAY SHE NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, AND SHE WOULD HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET THEM TO STOP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED SHE WAS TRAVELING. SHE HAS NEVER HAD ANY WARNING LIGHTS TO COME ON. HER HUSBAND TOLD HER THAT THE SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE THE ROTORS ON THE BRAKES WERE BAD. SHE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN , AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKES, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT AND THEY WOULD MILL THE BRAKES DOWN UNTIL THE PARTS CAME IN, TO HELP ELIMINATE THE SHAKING. SHE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL LETTERS. A RECALL NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE. IN LATE MAY HER HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE BRAKES MILLED DOWN AGAIN. THEY PUT THEM ON A WAITING LIST FOR WHEN THE PARTS DO COME IN. TODAY (7-15-05) WHEN SHE WENT IN, SHE WAS #18 ON THE WAITING LIST; WHERE IN MAY SHE WAS #10 ON THE WAITING LIST. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT RELINQUISH ANY KIND OF RECEIPTS OR DOCUMENTATION OF THE VEHICLE EVER BEING THERE. *AK

AT 6000 MILES, THE FRONT BRAKES VIBRATED AND PULLED TO THE RIGHT ON APPLICATION. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN AT 11,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 15,000 MILES. ON ALL OCCASIONS THE DEALER RESURFACED THE ROTORS. NISSAN ADVISES THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE ROTORS ARE TOO SMALL BUT DOESN'T CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE SO THEY ARE ONLY REPAIRING THE TRUCKS AS PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE.

DT: CONSUMER STATES THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CASING ON HIS 2004 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCK ARE BAD. AFTER TALKING TO SEVERAL PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET THE CONSUMER SAYS THAT WHEN HAULING OVER 100LB. THIS CAUSES THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO OVERHEAT LEADING TO LUBRICANT LEAKAGE AND OUTER CORROSION OF THE DIFFERENTIAL COVER. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CONSUMERS TO COMPLAIN THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEIZES AND CATCHES ON FIRE. HE SAYS THIS WAS DOCUMENTED IN A MAGAZINE NOT LONG AFTER THE TRUCK WAS TESTED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DIFFERENTIAL IS ACTUALLY STARTING TO RUST AND THE LUBRICANT IS STARTING TO LEAK OUT. THE DEALER REFUSES TO DEAL WITH HIM. THE MANUFACTURER SAYS THEY WILL NOT DEAL WITH HIM UNTIL THE DEALER DOES. *JB

THE FRONT BRAKES ON THE 2004 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK BEGAN FAILING AFTER 5000 MILES. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, HOWEVER, THE DEALER DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE BRAKES. DURING HEAVY BREAKING, THERE IS EXTREME VIBRATION AND SHUDDER WHICH COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF CONTROL

BRAKE ROTORS BECAME WARPED WITH ONLY 5,000 MILES ON MY 2004 TITAN SE CREW CAB. DEALER SAYS HAVE TO BRING IT IN FOR 2 FIXES, THAT THEY KNOW DON'T WORK IN THE LONG RUN, BEFORE NISSAN WILL ALLOW THEM TO ORDER THE PARTS FOR THE PERMANENT FIX OF INSTALLING LARGER HEAVY DUTY ROTORS ALONG WITH SOME OTHER PARTS. THIS IS A VERY DISSAPPOINTING REPONSE FROM NISSAN FOR A VERY SERIOUS AND VERY COMMON PROBLEM. ALSO, I'VE SPOKEN WITH APPROX. 5 TITAN OWNERS AND ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

POOR BUILD AND ENGINEERING QUALITY OF TRUCK. MULTIPLE, UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS. FAULTY BRAKES, AC, STRUCTURE CREATE MANY ISSUES. MULTIPLE RATTLES, SQUEAKS, VIBRATION AT SPEED ETC. WIND NOISE FROM WINDOWS. DOOR WON'T OPEN INTERMITTENTLY. MIRRORS VIBRATE TO POINT OF USELESSNESS. FOUND 2 IMPACT SOCKETS WHEN I BROUGHT IT HOME, SOCKETS WERE ON BOLTS THAT WERE NOT TIGHTENED DOWN... MAKES ME WONDER HOW MUCH IN THE STRUCTURE AND SUSPENSION HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY TIGHTENED. 9 DEALER VISITS IN 9 MONTHS. TAILGATE RUBS ON BODY, BED RUSTING, IN ARIZONA!!! LEMON!

FRONT BRAKES CAUSING HEAVY STEERING WHEEL SHAKING ALONG WITH FEELING OF TRUCK FRONTEND BOUNCING AND LEAVING ROAD CONTACT WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED HAVE CONTACTED LOCAL DEALER WHO STATED NO MANDATED RECALL FOR THIS BRAKING PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF SOME OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BRAKES NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AND CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING ABILITY DUE THE WHEEL SHUDDER

THE CONSUMER IS EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THE CONSUMER HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AND ROTORS EVERY 5,000 MI. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE SUSPENSION VIBRATED WHICH CAUSED THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE. THE OWNER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER BUT RECEIVED NO ASSISTANCE. *JB THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT HOLD VEHICLE. EMERGENCY BRAKE FOUND TO BE OUT OF ADJUSTMENT. TAILGATE STRIKER ROD OUT OF POSITION AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. FUEL DOOR SPRING/CLIP DEFORMED. *TT

PURCHASED A NEW 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE TRUCK ON 10/23/2004 AND IT HAS SINCE HAD TO HAVE NEW BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS 3 TIMES IN 7 MONTHS WITH ONLY 19281 MILES DRIVEN ON THE TRUCK. THE FIRST REPLACEMENT WAS AT 4662 MILES ON 12/13/04, THE 2ND REPLACEMENT WAS AT 8416 MILES ON 1/26/05, 3RD REPLACMENT WAS AT 15755 MILES ON 4/26/05 AND 4TH REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED NOW. WHEN THE PADS AND ROTORS START FAILING, VERY HARSH STEERING VIBRATIONS OCCUR WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS HAS A GREAT POTENTIAL FOR CAUSING SERIOUS ACCIDENTS ESPECIALLY IN INCLIMATE WEATHER. I HAVE COMPLINED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED ALL 3 TIMES SO FAR AND I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED NISSAN'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HAVE YET TO RECIEVE ANY INFORMATION THAT THEY HAVE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM EXCEPT TO CONTINUE TO REPLACE THE PADS AND ROTORS EVERY 2000-3000 MILES, BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT AT 36000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND NOT LEFT TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES BECAUSE IF YOU GOOGLE SEARCH NISSAN TITAN BRAKE PROBLEMS ON THE WEB YOU WILL FIND NUMEROUS FORUMS OF PEOPLE DISCUSSING THE SAME PROBLEMS I AM HAVING WITH MY BRAKES. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT IS TO LATE AND SOMEONE IS KILLED.

CONSUMER EXPERIENCED ROLL BACK WHILE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. THE CONSUMER CAN ALSO REMOVE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN THE 2004 NISSAN TITAN IS NOT IN PARK.*MR CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED NISSAN HEADQUARTERS WHOM REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR COST OF THE COLLISION. CONSUMER ALSO GOT BRAKES REPAIRED BECAUSE WHEN APPLIED CONSUMER FELT VIBRATION. DEALERSHIP FIXED THE PROBLEM 02/12/2005 AND CONSUMER WILL BE RETURNING VEHICLE BECAUSE OF ITS RECURRENCE.*SB

STEERING/TRUCK VIBRATION WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLYED.

1.) TRUCK SHAKES WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED. 2.) TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED -HARD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. 3.) NISSAN TURNED THE ROTORS. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THESE TRUCKS AND THAT SEVERAL OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY WILL NOT OFFER A PERMANENT FIX UNTIL THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED TWICE BY THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER. AT THIS POINT (THE THIRD APPOINTMENT FOR BRAKES) THEY WILL INSTALL A NEW BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS SHOULD BE RENDERED BOTH UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE. SINCE THERE IS A NOTED PROBLEM, NISSAN SHOULD HAVE OFFERED A PERMANENT FIX AT THE FIRST SERVICE APPOINTMENT. NISSAN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GAMBLE WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES BY DETERRING A PERMANENT FIX ON A SAFETY COMPONENT SUCH AS BRAKES.

SEVERE SHUDDER IN FRONT BREAKS DUE TO WARPED FRONT DISKS. HAPPENED AT 5-7K MILES AFTER EACH REPLACEMENT OF ROTORS OR TURNING OF ROTORS.

CONTINUED WARPING OF FACTORY FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. ROTORS WERE REPLACED ONCE AND RESURFACED TWICE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 10,000 MILES. NISSAN HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM YET.

NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEGED THAT THE BRAKES ON NISSAN TITAN ARE INADEQUATE. THIS CAUSES THE ROTORS TO WARP UNDER EVEN THE LIGHTEST USE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE DEMAND FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS IS VERY HIGH, THEREFORE THE REMEDY IS TO GO THE DEALERSHIP, HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED TWICE BEFORE THEY WILL ORDER PARTS. I ASKED TO ORDER THE PARTS RIGHT AWAY WITHOUT TURNING THE ROTORS FIRST AND THEY DECLINED. MEANTIME, I AM DRIVING A BRAND NEW TRUCK WITH 6000 MILES ON IT WITH WARPED ROTORS. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I AM IN IMMINENT DANGER HOWEVER THIS IS A BRAKING PROBLEM WHICH IN MY OPINION IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE.

BRAKES ON THE 2004 NISSAN TRUCK ARE FAULTY. OVERHEATING ROTORS ARE CAUSING THE FRONT END TO SHAKE. STOPPING DISTANCE IS DRAMATICALLY INCREASED.

BRAKE PEOBLEMS WITH OUR 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WE HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AND ON ONE OCCATION WE HAD AN ACCEDENT AND WE BELIEVE IF THE BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY IT WOULD HAVE AVOIDED DAMAGE TO OUR TRUCK.I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THE BRAKE PROBLEM AND THEY STATED THAT I TOOK TO LONG TO REPORT THE PROBLEM TO THEM AND COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

BRAKES ON MY 004 NISSAN TITAN STARTED FAILING A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND GOT IT REPAIRED AND A FEW MONTHS AFTER IT STARTED TO HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM, SHAKING BADLY WHEN YOU TRY TO STOP. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER GOT IT FIX AND IT STARTING TO SHOW THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN ONLY A FEW WEEKS AFTER I TOOK IT BACK THE 2ND TIME.THE THING THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE RIGHT TO ME IS THAT AT THEIR GARAGE REPAIR SCHEDULING IS ALL ABOUT BRAKES . I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THIS KIND OF VEHICLE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES, AND THE BRAKE PULSE. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURED THREE MONTHS AGO AT 7000 MILES. THEN AGAIN AT 10000MILE. BOTH TIMES THE NISSAN DEALER TURNED THE ROTORS. MAY 27, 2005. NISSAN TITAN 2004 SE CREW CAB

THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS BEGAN WARPING AT AROUND 10,000 MILES ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN.WAS TOLD THAT DEALER WOULD ONLY REPAIR BRAKES UP TO 12,000 MILES.NOW THAT I AM REPLACING THEM MYSELF!!!! NISSAN IS CHARGING ALMOST 100.00 FOR THE PADS......HUMMMMM!!!

DT: NISSAN 2004 TITAN PICKUP AND FRONT BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE BRAKES ARE VIBRATING WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP DESCRIBE IT AS WARPED ROTORS ON BOTH FRONT BRAKES. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL NISSAN CAME OUT WITH A PERMANENT FIX. AS YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT HAD THE TEMPORARY FIX DONE, STILL WAITING ON NISSAN FOR THE RECALL NOTICE. THE NISSAN DEALER SAID THAT NISSAN IS WORKING ON A PERMANENT FIX. *TT *EH CONSUMER STATES THAT WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED STEERING IS HARD TO CONTROL.*SB

HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, WHEN CONTROL STALK IS TOUCHED TO DIM LIGHTS, OR USE THE TURN SIGNAL. HAS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES.

DT: VIBRATIONS IN FRONT END DUE TO BAD ROTORS. TOOK TO DEALER AND HE SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO CUT THE ROTORS AND REPLACE PADS BECAUSE OF OVERHEATING PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS. MANUFACTURER SAID THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, WAITING TO GET NEW ROTORS SO THEY CAN REPLACED. MANUFACTURER WILL EXTEND WARRANTY FOR 3 YEARS. *NM

DT: CONTACT STATES CONSUMER HAS TWO NISSAN VEHICLES AND THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON ONE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE OTHER VEHICLE IS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT'S THE ROTORS. THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITHIN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. *AK

AT 13,000 MILES, MY TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALER 3 TIMES FOR BRAKE ROTER PROBLEMS. THE ROTORS WARP AND CAUSE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKING. THE TRUCK WILL ALSO PULL TO THE LEFT WHEN BRAKING. THIS SEEMS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IT IS VERY DISSAPOINTING THAT NISSAN HASN'T FIXED THIS PROBLEM.

THE FRONT BRAKES ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AT 8100 MILES IN JAN '05. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ONLY RESURFACED THE ROTORS AND PUT ON NEW PADS. AGAIN IN APR '05 IT STARTED SHAKING CAUSING ME TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE NEW BRAKES FROM NISSAN SINCE THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT ALLOWING DEALERS TO STOCK THE PARTS. THEY HAD TO ORDER THEM BY VIN. NEARLY TWO WEEKS LATER MY PARTS ARE NOT IN AND I AM FORCED TO PUT THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD EVERY DAY CARYYING MY 22 MONTH OLD TWINS. THE DEALER AND NISSAN DON'T SEEM TO BE CONCERNED LIKE IT'S NO BIG DEAL. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING GETS DONE WITH THIS?

BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED TURNED AT 4.000 MILES AND BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR..DRIVERS WINDOW NOT ALWAYS WORKING..ANTIFREEZE SMELL AFTER DRIVING

WHILE BACKING MY BOAT INTO ITS PARKING SPOT I PUT MY VEHICLE IN "PARK", LEFT THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN, LEFT ENGINE RUNNING AND EXITED VEHICLE TO UNHITCH MY BOAT TRAILER FROM MY TRUCK TRAILER HITCH. I WAS AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TURNING THE TRAILER JACK. I WAS BEHIND THE TRUCK FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 SECONDS WHEN I HEARD A CLICK, AND MY VEHICLE STARTED MOVING BACKWARDS. I REALIZED WHAT WAS HAPPENING--THE GEAR SHIFTED FROM PARK TO REVERSE. I ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE DRIVER'S SIDE,AND OPENED DOOR TO HIT THE BRAKE. WHILE ENTERING THE DRIVER'S SIDE I WAS HOLDING ONTO THE DOOR AS LEVERAGE ATTEMPTING TO APPLY MY RIGHT FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE REVERSE MOVEMENT CAUSED THE DOOR TO COME IN CONTACT WITH A TREE. THE TREE PULLED THE DOOR FORWARD AS THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING BACKWARDS. THE DOOR'S CONTACT WITH THE TREE CAUSED THE DOOR TO PULL ME OUT AND THREW ME TO THE GROUND, CAUSING INJURY TO MY LEFT ARM AND LEG. I GOT UP AND RAN AND JUMPED INTO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. SUPPOSEDLY BEING INVESTIGATED BY NISSAN TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE.*AK

WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED VEHICLE DID NOT STOP PROPERLY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT ROTORS WERE WARPED, AND UNDERSIZED, MAKING IT HARD TO HANDLE VEHICLE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. *AK CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY CONFIRMED THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH UNDERSIZED ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. THEY WOULD NOT REPLACED UNDERSIZED ROTOR OF PADS. THEY WOULD/AND DID TURN THE ORIGINAL ROTORS AND REPLACED PADS WITH IDENTICAL UNDERSIZED PADS. WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC BRAKES BECAME LESS AND LESS AFFECTIVE POSSIBLE FROM OVER HEATING. *BF

LIKE MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS I AM HAVING CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT BRAKES GETTING SOFT AND VIBRATING. NISSAN KEEPS SAYING THAT THEY HAVE A SOLUTION COMING, BUT THEY KEEP PUSHING THE DATE BACK. THE LAST TWO TIMES I'VE BEEN IN WITH THIS ISSUE, THEIR INTERIM FIX HASN'T HELPED FOR MORE THAN A DAY. BRAKES ARE SOMETHING THAT BOTH YOU AND NISSAN SHOULD NOT BE SCREWING AROUND ON. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED MONTHS AGO.

FRONT ROTORS WARPING WHICH CAUSES POOR DRIVABILITY AND DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS. NISSAN HAS ISSUED A TSB AND VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER THIS TSB AT 4000 MILES, PROBLEM RECURRED AT 7500 MILES. NISSAN SERVICE STATES THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WILL AGAIN SERVICE AT NO COST. I AM UNAWARE AT THIS TIME IF THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. *NM

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2004, TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE SLIGHTLY WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT AROUND 7000 MILES. HAD BRAKES/ROTORS REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 11000 MILES WHEN THE SHAKING MADE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM NOW AT 17000 MILES AND THE TRUCK IS DOING THE SAME THING. STARTS OFF AS A SLIGHT SHUTTER, AND PROGRESSES TO THE POINT WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL PRACTICALLY SHAKES OUT OF DRIVER'S HANDS. *AK

BRAKES FAILED AT 2600 MILES WHILE DRIVING AT 75 MPH. BRAKES WOULD FAIL AT ANY TIME. BRAKES HAS BEEN CHANGED FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE BRAKES WERE WEARING OUT.*AK

20'04 NISSAN TITAN ON SECOND REPAIR FOR WARPED BRAKE ROTORS. FIRST REPAIR AT 5000 MILES, AND SECOND REPAIR AT 7500 MILES. *AK

THE SPRAY-IN TRUCK BED LINER HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO DISCOLOR. IT WAS ORIGINALLY BLACK, BUT HAS BEGUN TO TURN WHITE IN LESS THAT 3 MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. DEALER SAID THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. NISSAN GAVE ME THE SAME RESPONSE.*AK

TRUCK VIBRATES VERY ROUGHLY AND BRAKES PUSH DOWN LOW TO THE FLOOR WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. BRAKES WERE FIRST SERVICED AT 4,503 MILES ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2004. AGAIN TRUCK STARTED TO VIBRATE WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, AND HAD TO BE PUSHED HARD AND LOW TO FLOOR. BRAKES WERE AGAIN SERVICED AT 8,795 MILES ON JANUARY 18, 2005. TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 12,565 MILES AND TRUCK AGAIN VIBRATES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, AND BRAKES NEED TO BE PRESSED HARD AND GO LOW TO THE FLOOR. NISSAN HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND WAITING FOR CONTACT FOR SERVICE OF TRUCK. IN ADDITION, THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN NOTED WITH NISSAN: THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS (POSSIBLE DRIVE SHAFT PROBLEM), TRUCK RUNS VERY ROUGH AND LOUD (POSSIBLE BELT TENSION PROBLEM), THE RADIO HAS BAD RECEPTION AND THE DASHBOARD RATTLES. IN ADDITION, IT WAS NOTED TO NISSAN THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR REFLECTS THE DASHBOARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN LOOKING INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR IN ORDER TO CHANGE LANES.*AK

WITH ONLY 3900 MILES ON THE TRUCK, THE ROTORS ARE STARTING TO WARP BADLY!! NATIONAL CUSTOMER. SERVICE. SAYS NO RECALL IN SIGHT, BUT LOCAL DEALER HAS PAPERWORK ON RECALL COMING OUT?????? THE BRAKES SHOULD DEFINITELY BE BETTER THAN THIS FOR A VEHICLE THAT CAN TOW 9400 LBS!! BRAKES HAVE GONE BAD, EARLY, W/OUT TOWING ANYTHING!!!!!

THE RADIO COMPONENT OF THE STEREO SYSTEM IS HORRIBLE!! HAVE HAD IT CHECKED THREE TIMES, AND ALL THEY SAY IT IS IS A LOOSE ANTENNA!!!! RECEPTION SOUNDS TERRIBLE, LIKE POCKET TRANSISTOR RADIO. CD PLAYER SOUNDS TERRIFIC! BUT, FOR $1200 UPGRADE STEREO, RADIO SHOULD SOUND GREAT. RECEPTION FADES IN AND OUT, AND SOUNDS LIKE MONO, NOT STEREO.*AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

MY NISSIAN TITAN HAS BRAKE PROBLEMS, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IT HAS SERIOUS FRONT END VIBRATION. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 5 SEPERATE OCCASIONS, NEW ROTORS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON 3 OCCASIONS. THE LAST TIME WAS ON 28 FEB. THE DEALER STATED THESE WERE NEW ROTORS AUTHORIZED BY NISSIAN AS THE FIX FOR THE BRAKE ISSUE. AFTER THE NEW ROTORS WERE INSTALLED THE VIBRATION IS NOW WORSE THAN ITS EVER BEEN. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO ANSWER ANY EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE'S PASSENGER SIDE DOOR NOT LOCKING.*MR THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO ORDERED THE PARTS AND CONTACTED THE CONSUMER WHEN THEY ARRIVED. AFTER THE PARTS WERE REPLACED THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE INCORRECT PARTS WERE ORDERED/RECEIVED AND THEY PLACED A NEW ORDER. TO DATE THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONSUMER IS SEEKING FINANCIAL COMPENSATION FOR RENTAL FEES AND CAR PAYMENTS SIN THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN HER POSSESSION. *NM IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FACTORY PUT IN POWER DOOR LOCKS ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL DOOR LOCKS. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN IN NOVEMBER, AT ABOUT 2,500 MILES I NOTICED A SLIGHT SHUDDER WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE SITUATION DETERIORATED OVER THE NEXT THOUSAND MILES OR SO UNTIL I COULD FEEL THE SHUDDER WHEN I USED MY BRAKES GOING JUST A COUPLE MILES AN HOUR. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE THE PADS AND MACHINED THE ROTORS WHICH TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT LET ME KNOW THAT THERE WAS A GOOD CHANCE THIS WOULD OCCUR AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN HAD A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT SINCE THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURENCE I WASN'T ELLIGIBLE FOR THAT REPAIR.*AK

THE CONSUMER STATED HE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE BRAKES INSPECTED AFTER DISCOVERING A BULLETIN ON THE INTERNET. TWO MONTHS LATER THE BRAKES FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STRIKE ANOTHER VEHICLE AND ROLL OVER. CONSEQUENTLY, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *JB *BF

TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE ON THE FRONT BRAKES BECAUSE OF SHUDDERING AND EXCESSIVE WEAR. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE REP THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE CAMPAIGN ON THE BRAKES BECAUSE THEY WERE UNDERSIZED FOR THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIR KIT WOULD BE ORDERED TO REPLACE THE ROTORS, CALIPERS, AND PADS. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY NISSAN OF ANY DEFECT IN THE BRAKES. IT TOOK 2 MONTHS TO GET THE PARTS IN BUT NOT THE PARTS THEY HAD DISCUSSED. THEY TURNED THE ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED REPLACED A CONTROL ARM AND REPLACED THE PADS. MAKING THE ROTOR THINNER AND REPLACING THE PADS IS NOT GOING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY INDICATED ANOTHER "REPAIR KIT" WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN APRIL OR MAY. MEANWHILE I CONTINUE TO DRIVE WITH THE BRAKES BEING ADMITTEDLY UNDERSIZED FOR THIS VEHICLE.

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE VEHICLE COMMENCED TO ROLL FORWARD. ALTHOUGH THE SHIFT INDICATOR SHOWED VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY IN NEUTRAL. CONSUMER STATED, THIS CONDITIONS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OTHER TIMES, AND THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.*AK....CONSUMER CLAIMED AFTER TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION, DEALER AVOIDED TO FIND THE CAUSE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. CONSUMER FELT IT WAS THE WORST VEHICLE HE EVER OPERATED. *AK

STEERING SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. VERY HARD TO CONTROL AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. HAD IT REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP AT 9K MILES, ITS BACK AGAIN AT 13K. I CANT BELIEVE NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THIS YET - ITS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN, AND EVEN WORSE A REAL SAFETY HAZARD FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROAD.*AK

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF OUR 2004 NISSAN TITAN ON 8/31/04, THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS BEEN OUT OF ALIGNMENT. VEHICLE WOULD IMMEDIATELY VEER TO THE RIGHT WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS RELEASED. AFTER FOUR ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE THE ALIGNMENT PROBLEM,THE NISSAN DISTRICT TECHNICAL SPECIALIST (DTS) REMOVED THE VEHICLE FROM AN AS MANUFACTURED CONFIGURATION BY GRINDING DOWN THE RIGHT CASTER ECCERTIC ADJUSTMENT BOLTS.THIS MODIFICATION WAS A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT TO NEAR SPECIFICATIONS WHILE NEGATING THE NEED AND COST INVOLVED TO IDENTIFY AND REPAIR THE ACTUAL PROBLEM PROHIBITING THE FRONT SUSPENSION FROM BEING ALIGNED PROPERLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE ORIGINAL AS MANUFACTURED CONFIGURATION. SUBSEQUENT TO THIS MODIFICATION, THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS STILL NOT WITHIN THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AND SHAKES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH. THE DEALER HAS TRIED, WITHOUT SUCCESS, TO ELIMINATE THE VIBRATION WITH WHEEL AND TIRE REPLACEMENTS. THIS SHORT CUT TYPE FIX DONE BY THE NISSAN DTS HAS AFFECTED THE INTEGRITY OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION, PUT THE VEHICLE IN AN UNSTABLE DRIVING CONDITION AND CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE ROAD.*AK

I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE IN NOVEMBER OF 2004. WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED A LITTLE OVER 4,000 MILES THE BRAKES STARTED TO SHUDDER AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE AND ALSO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND GROUND THE ROTORS AND THE PROBLEM APPEARED FIXED. AFTER ANOTHER 2,000 MILES OF DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED FURTHER AND FURTHER CLOSER TO THE FLOORBOARD TO GET BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK. THEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE ALONG WITH THE PEDAL. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AGAIN APPEARING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AFTER ABOUT 200 MILES THE BRAKES BEGAN TO FADE AGAIN. THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE PEDAL HAVE NOT STARTED TO VIBRATE YET BUT GOING WITH THE PAST HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM IT SHOULD ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME. I WANT NISSAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. THE PROBLEM COULD NOT ONLY BE A SAFETY PROBLEM DUE TO NO BRAKE PEDAL WHEN APPLIED BUT ALSO VIBRATION FROM APPLYING PEDAL. LASTLY A TRUCK WITH ONLY 6500 MILES SHOULD NOT KEEP GETTING THE ROTORS TURNED OVER AND OVER. *AK

POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK UNDER RIGHT (PASSENGER-SIDE) AXLE-TO-WHEEL AREA. ALSO, A FRONT-END ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 CREW CAB INTO THE DEALER SERVICE SHOP ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS TO TRY AND GET THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK REPAIRED/STOPPED. THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN THE THEIR SHOP THEY HAD MY TRUCK FOR OVER A MONTH WAITING ON A NEW POWER STEERING HOSE PART THAT APPARENTLY WAS IN SHORT SUPPLY. THE LEAK HAS NOW STARTED AGAIN AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN AGAIN... ADDITIONALLY, EVER SINCE THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW, I HAVE ASKED THE SHOP TO FIX THE ALIGNMENT 4 TIMES AND IT'S STILL NOT RIGHT. THE STEERING SEEMS STRAIGHT UNTIL HIGHER SPEEDS (60+ MPH) THEN I HAVE TO KEEP THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT TO KEEP THE TRUCK STRAIGHT. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 7600 MILES ON IT SO FAR. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED ONCE ALREADY. BASED ON ALL OF THE BRAKE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ, I'M SURE I WILL HAVE TO GET THEM REPAIRED AGAIN SOON. WHEN SHOULD I TRY TO USE VIRGINIA'S LEMON LAW? *AK

WITH 7000 ON THE ODOMETER THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A TERRIBLE CASE OF SQUEALING BRAKES, WHERE NISSAN REPLACED BRAKES AND ROTORS. NOW, WITH 14000 ON THE ODOMETER THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED TERRIBLE SHUDDER OF STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. DEALER HAS ORDERED NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS FOR ME, WAITING FOR THEM TO COME IN.*AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATING, STEERING WHEEL AND VEHICLE VIBRATING. THE VEHICLE ALSO PULLED TO THE LEFT WHILE BRAKING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO TURNED THE FRONT ROTORS. THE PROBLEM RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. *AK THE ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 4000 MILES DUE TO WARPING. *NM

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION NUMEROUS TIMES. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND REPLACED THEM. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED.*AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A FRONT BRAKE PROBLEM. OWNER HAD THE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED AFTER 7,000 MILES. WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING. OWNER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT THE BRAKES WERE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE OF A DESIGN FLAW. *AK THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. *TC

TO WHOM IT CONCERNS, I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK THAT HAS A MAJOR FLAW IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I SERIOUSLY THINK THAT I WILL BE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. I'VE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. THEY ADMITT TO THE FAULTY BRAKES SYTEM, BUT DO NOT HAVE A PERMANENT FIX. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. PLEASE CONTACT NISSAN AND FORCE THEM TO RECALL ALL THE TITANS AND FIX THIS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM. I CAN'T BELIEVE IN THE YEAR 2005 IT IS OK TO HAVE THOUSANDS OF TRUCKS ROAMING OUR HIGHWAYS WITH FAULTY BRAKES? *AK

PREMATURE FAILURE OF FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. FRONT BRAKES SHUDDER AND VIBRATE EXTREMELY BAD WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. DEALER WILL REFINISH ROTORS AND INSTALL NEW FRONT BRAKE PADS FOR A TEMPORAIRY REPAIR. I HAVE DRIVEN 9400 MILES TOTAL ON THIS VEHICLE WITH THREE SET OF FRONT BRAKES REPLACED. HAVE NOT TOWED ANY TRAILER OR VEHICLE WITH IT TO CAUSE FAILURE. BRAKING SYSTEM IS INSUFFICIENT FOR THIS VEHICLE AND TITAN TRUCKS MUST BE RECALLED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE OWNERS OF THIS PRODUCT IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY TO IT'S OCCUPANTS. NISSAN WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM TO IT'S OWNERS AND THE NHTSA MUST STEP IN AND HAVE THEM RECALLED AT ONCE.*AK

THE BRAKES FAILED EVERY TWO WEEKS. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS SEVEN TIMES FOR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

4000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIBRATE. THE BRAKE PEDDLE ALSO PULSATES WHEN BRAKES APPLIED. *JB

SAME WARPAGE OF FRONT BRAKES. DEALER SAID ALL THEY ARE DOING IS TURNING ROTORS. IF THE SHUDDER CONTINUES, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE CALIPER BRACKET BREAKS? *JB THE CALIPER SPINS AND TEARS THE BRAKE LINE LOOSE, WOW NO BRAKES. NISSON WILL BE SUED IF THIS IS NOT FIXED QUICKLY.

EXCESSIVE SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER 3 TIMES IN 16000 MILES ROTORS WERE TURNED ONCE HAPPENED AGAIN THEN ROTORS AND BRAKES REPLACED THE 2ND TIME NOW HAD TO TURN ROTORS AGAIN. *JB SOMETHING IS WRONG BUT THEY SAY IM TOO HARD ON MY BRAKES AND I KNOW THAT'S BULLS.. *JB

BRAKE KEEP HAVING PROBLEMS, SHAKE VIOLENTLY ENOUGH TO BE ON THE EDGE OF LOOSING CONTROL IN WET CONDITIONS. *NM

FRONT END OF VEHICLE HAS TERRIBLE VIBRATION WHILE BRAKING CAUSED BY OVERHEATED AND WARPED FRONT DISC BRAKE ROTORS. FRONT BRAKES ROTORS AND PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER TWICE (AT ROUGHLY 6,000 AND ONCE AT 11,093 MILES). THE REPLACEMENT ROTORS AT THE 11,093 MILE SERVICE ARE REDESIGNED ROTORS INTENDED TO FIX THE RECURRING PROBLEM. AT 17,752 MILES THE PROBLEM RECURRED AND THE NEW REDESIGNED ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED BY THE DEALER. *NM

SERIOUS BRAKE VIBRATION PROBLEM, STARTED WITHIN FIRST 2K MILES, CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED 4 TIMES IN 5 MONTHS. VIBRATION (SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL GETS WORSE AFTER APPROX. 2K MILES, ALMOST UN CONTROLABLE BY 5K MILES).I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALER ON EVERY REPAIR THAT THIS PROBABLY WOUDN'T REPAIR THE PROBLEM. NISSANS CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS BEEN NO HELP. FILED CLAIM WITH THE BBB AUTO LINE ON 2-4-05. DAY 12 AND STILL NO RESPONSE FROM NISSAN. SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.*AK

DEFECTIVE BRAKES ON ALL NISSAN TITAN TRUCKS MANUFACTURED TO DATE. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES EVERY 4000-4500 MILES. THEY SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND COULD EASILY CAUSE A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A "FIX" FOR THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD RECALL ALL NISSAN TITANS AT THIS TIME FOR A PERMANENT REPLACEMENT OF THE FAULTY SYSTEM. I NOW HAVE 9300 MILES ON MY NEW 2004 TITAN AND AM CURRENTLY ON MY THIRD SET OF FRONT BRAKES.

WARPED ROTOR. NORMAL USE. 6K MILES. 2004 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK. DEALERS "FIX" IS TO TURN THE ROTOR AND MAKE IT THINNER RATHER THAN REPLACING IT WITH A HEAVER PART. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS ON THE END OF THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH AND HAS SOME SLIGHTLY RAISED RIDGES. I HAVE ON AT LEAST FIVE OCASSIONS ACCIDENTLY TURNED OFF THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN GOING FROM HIGH BEAM TO LOW BEAM OR WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THE LIGHT SWITCH TURNS VERY EASILY AND AS MY FINGES SLIDE OVER THE KNOB IT TURNS THE HEADLIGHTS TO THE OFF POSITION. A VERY DISTURBING AND FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER HAVING TRAVEL ALL OVER THE U.S. AND SEVERAL EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND THIS IS AN UNNERVING EXPERIENCE AT NIGHT. I HAVE COMPLAINTED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TO NISSAN (REFERENCE # 4853986) BUT ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SWITCH WORKS FINE. I ALSO KNOW ANOTHER TITAN OWNER AND HE HAS HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT WILL GET SOMEONE KILLED OR INJURED. *AK

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB 4X4 TRUCK AND I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TAILGATE OF THE TRUCK BED. IT IS VERY HEAVY AND MY WIFE HAS DROPPED IT ON HERSELF SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE EVEN DROPPED IT MYSELF. I BELIEVE NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY FIXED IT ON THE 2005 MODEL. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM IN THE 2004 MODEL AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! *JB

WHILE STOPPING TRUCK WHEEL SHAKES LEFT TO RIGHT AND GETS MORE VIOLENT THE HARDER I STOPPED. TRUCK HAD ABOUT 4000 MILES ON IT. TOOK TO DEALER HE REPLACED FRONT ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. NOW WITH 6000 MILE I NOTICE THE SAME THING STARTING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. NEVER HAD ANY VECHILES BRAKES FAIL WITH SO FEW MILES. THIS MUST BE A DEFECT FROM FACTORY.*AK

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN HAS UNDER 6,000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT, LIKE MANY OTHERS, STARTED EXPERIENCED BRAKE JUDDER/FAILURE, ESPECIALLY WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS. REPORTED TO THE DEALER, CONFIRMED JUDDER, AND WAS ADDED TO NISSAN'S LIST FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE (1 SET/2 WEEKS NATION-WIDE, I'M TOLD). RETURNING HOME FROM WORK ON A WET HIGHWAY, UNDER MODERATE BRAKING FOR AN ACCIDENT AHEAD, THE BRAKES LOCKED, SENDING THE TITAN SIDEWAYS INTO A BARRIER. I'VE DRIVEN ACCIDENT-FREE FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL AS IN THE TITAN...IT SIMPLY WOULD NOT STOP AND I WAS TRAVELLING WELL UNDER THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT IN MODERATE TRAFFIC. I HAVE NO DOUBT HAD THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKES AT THE FIRST COMPLAINT OR NISSAN INSTALLED ADEQUATE FRONT BRAKES FROM THE FACTORY, THE ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.*AK

NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY AS OF YET. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING BRAKE JUDDER ISSUES ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN EVRY 3000 TO 5000 MILES. I CURRENTLY HAVE 10,900 MILES ON THE TRUCK, AND HAVE JUST BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE THIRD TIME FOR REPAIR OF THIS ISSUE. JUDJING FROM MY EXPERIENCE, AND THAT OF OTHER TITAN OWNERS, IT IS REASONABLY CLEAR TO ME THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH AN INFERIOR DESIGN OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THIS TRUCK AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN DEALING WITH FOR MONTHS NOW, BUT WITH NO GOOD RESOLUTION. IT HAS EVEN BEEN RUMORED FROM A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE AT NISSAN, THAT THE PROBLEM EXTENDS BACK TO A MISPLACED PURCHASE ORDER FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THE BRAKE PARTS. RATHER THAN ORDER THE RIGHT PARTS, AND DELAY SHIPMENT, NISSAN HAS ELECTED TO BUILD THE TRUCKS AND DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM LATER. I HOPE THAT THERE CAN BE SOME KIND OF INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM, WITH THE OUTCOME BEING A FORCED RECALL (NOT JUST A TSB).*AK

PURCHASED 2004 NISSAN TITAN SE FOUR DOOR MAY 23RD FOR WORK. I AVERAGE APPROXIMATELY 3,500 MILES PER MONTH. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED ROCKING BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY EVERY TIME I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AFTER ABOUT 4,500 MILES. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE BRAKE DISKS TURNED AND THE PADS, BOLTS, MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRUCK STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AT 12,000 MILES, AROUND SEPTEMBER, 2004. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE DISCS, CALIPERS, PADS, BOLTS, EVERYTHING AND MADE ALL NEW AGAIN. I DROVE IT AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT 18,000 MILES. AT THIS POINT I WAS BECOMING VERY FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY AT THE SITUATION. THE NISSAN DEALER PROMISED ME THAT THEY HAD JUST RECEIVED THE MOST UP TO DATE REPAIR KIT FROM THE NISSAN FACTORY AND THAT THEY WERE BEING TOLD THAT THIS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK WAS BRAKING FINE UNTIL I REACHED 23,000 MILES AT THE END OF DECEMBER, 2004. I SPOKE TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND LODGED A FORMAL COMPLAINT. I WAS ASKED WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THAT I HAD MY BRAKES DONE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD A NEW REPAIR KIT SINCE THEN. I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS TOLD THIS THE LAST TIME AND YET HERE I AM AGAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD MY BRAKES DONE AGAIN ON THURSDAY DECEMBER 30TH, 2004. THIS MEANS THAT MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN DONE FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *JB

2004 NISSAN TITAN, THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS A TURN KNOB ON THE END OF THE SIGNAL LIGHT SWITCH AND IT TURNS VERY EASY. IT HAS A PROTRUDING EDGE ON THE TURN SWITCH TO PROVIDE YOUR FINGERS WITH TRACTION TO TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND OFF. PROBLEM IS OFTEN WHEN YOU GO TO DIM THE LIGHTS (THE DIMMING IS DONE BY PULLING THE SIGNAL LIGHT LEVER TO YOU) THE SWITCH TURNS SO EASY IT OFTEN TURNS THE LIGHTS OFF. I AM A 53 YEAR OLD DRIVER THAT HAS DRIVEN MILLIONS OF MILES IN BOTH PASSENGER VEHICLES AND HEAVY TRUCKS. A NUMBER OF TIMES THIS FAILURE HAS HAPPENED AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HAVE NO LIGHTS I FIND THIS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. MY CONCERN IS NOT FOR MYSELFSO MUCH BUT FOR A INEXPERIANCED DRIVER PANICING WHEN THE LGIHTS WENT OUT AT HIGH SPEED IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT LIKE AS IT HAS WITH ME AND NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO CALCULATE WHAT THE FAILURE WAS FAST ENOUGH TO TURN THEM BACK ON BEFORE CAUSING A VERY BAD ACCIDENT.*AK

I LEASED A TITAN CREW LE ON TAX DAY 2004. AT 5000 MILES, THE FRONT ROTORS WERE SHOT AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY UPON BRAKING ON THE FREEWAY. THE TRUCK WOULD ALSO PULL ONE DIRECTION OR ANOTHER UPON BRAKING. THE DEALERSHIP (KAYSER NISSAN) FIXED THE PROBLEM. AT 10,000 MILES, THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP THIS TIME SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLACE THE ROTORS BUT SHAVED THEM DOWN AND REPLACED THE SLIDERS. AT 15,000 MILES, THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. I'VE TRIED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP IN TOWN WITH A BETTER REPUTATION FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET PARTS FOR OVER 3 WEEKS.
