My truck just stopped in the middle of the road while driving. I could not move the steering wheel and the engine would not turn over. The gas hand was registering a quarter of a tank of fuel so I did not think that I had run out of gas. After being towed to the shop the mechanic checked the vehicle and said that it was just out of gas but the gas gauge was still registering 1/4 of a tank of gas. Gas was put in the truck and it started right up. The mechanic informed me of a recall on the 2005 nissan titans that matched what was happening to my truck. When I informed nissan they told me there is a recall but that my vin number is not included in the recall. I have had the same incident where the truck just shut off 2 more times now and this should be covered by the nissan recall since this is the exact problem that is happening to my truck that is stated in the recall and my truck is the exact year. Can someone please help me to get nissan to honor this recall for my truck? Recall ID#68290

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE INACCURATELY DISPLAYS THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, AT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT AFFECTED EVEN THOUGH IT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKES OCCASIONALLY FAILED TO ENGAGE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED.

THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 230,000.

TRANSMISSION WONT DOWN SHIFT, STUCK IN HIGH GEAR, TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WILL SHIFT FINE TILL I STOP AGAIN

THE FEEL GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW ACCURATE GASOLINE LEVELS. IT DOES THIS REGARDLESS OF SPEED OR WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AS IF YOU WERE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND RAN OUT OF GAS YOU COULD CAUSE A CRASH. THE FUEL GAUGE CAN SHOW YOU HAVE HALF A TANK BUT YOU ONLY ACTUALLY HAVE A QUARTER OF A TANK. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS FOR ANOTHER MODEL BUT NOT FOR MINE.

I HAVE A NISSAN NORTH AMERICA RECALL LETTER ADDRESSED TO ME FOR RECAL 06V-459, WHICH IS A AIRBAG LIGHT AND WIRING HARNESS RECALL ON MY DRIVERS SIDE. I WAS CHARGED FULL PRICE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AT RIVERHEAD NISAAN IN NEW YORK AND LATER FOUND MY RECALL NOTICE AND HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND NO QUALITY ASSISTANCE. MY RECALL LETTER SAYS I AM ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENTS AND TO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. I AM DOING SO BECAUSE NISSAN IS NOT HELPING ME. RIVERHEAD NISSAN HAS MY REPAIR IN THEIR SYSTEM. ATTACHED ARE PHOTOS OF THE RECALL OF IMPORTANCE. FILED WAS CLAIMED JAN 2021 WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. REPAIR HAPPENED COUPLE YEARS AGO.

INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE NOT PROPERLY READING AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE CITY STREET, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH.

RANDOMLY, WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE I HIT THE BRAKES. THE WHEELS ALMOST LOCK UP AND I CAN HEAR THE ABS KICK IN. ALSO THE BRAKE LIGHT IS ON THE DASH. I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND WHEN RESTARTS EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL.

I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS AND ITS GETTING WORSE FUEL TANK IS HARD TO FILL AND MAKES A WHISTLING SOUND.

FUEL GAGE CONSISTENTLY STOPS WORKING WHEN IT REACHES 1/2 OF GAS BURNED.

THE ODOMETER WAS SET BACK FROM 226,844 TO 114,000 BY SOMEONE WHO OWNED THE CAR PREVIOUSLY AND WE WERE NOT MADE AWARE.*DT*JB

THEIR IS A CURRENT RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM FOR THE GAUGE READING INCORRECTLY AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY TRUCK IS HAVING THAT ISSUE, BUT MY VIN SHOWS NOT TO BE UNDER THAT RECALL. I AM ALSO HAVING ENGINE PROBLEMS THAT I ALSO BELIEVE TO BE DUE TO A FAILING FUEL PUMP OR POSSIBLY ONE OF THE OTHER MANY PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE PERFORMANCE ON THIS MODEL TITAN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM IS NOT COVERING MY VEHICLE , I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY NISSAN TITAN SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND ABSOLUTELY NO HELP FROM NISSAN TO FIX FAULTY PARTS, INCLUDING THE VALVE COVER THAT IF CLOGGED WILL ALLOW ENGINE OIL DOWN INTO THE VALVES AND CYLINDER AND CAUSE SMOKING PROBLEM, AND EVENTUALLY RUIN THE ENGINE CYLINDER. MY TITAN WILL NOT TAKE FUEL AND STARTS STALING OUT AT 2000 RPM CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BE IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS ALREADY. ALL VEHICLES WITH PARTS THAT ARE BEING RECALLED SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. NISSAN SHOULD'NT BE ABLE TO PIC AND CHOOSE WHO GETS COVERED, THEY SHOULD MAN UP AND FIX THEIR CHEAP PARTS WHEN THEY FAIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL, DUE TO A DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE CONTACT CALLED NISSAN OF BAKERSFIELD (2800 PACHECO RD, BAKERSFIELD, CA 93313, (661) 835-8600) AND THE MANUFACTURER AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HALF SHAFT HAS BROKEN INSIDE MY DIFFERENTIAL CASE AND RUINED THE DIFF I UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH NISSAN TITAN TRUCKS. I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE TRUCK BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSSUE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE.

NOTES FROM EMAIL RECEIVED FROM NISSAN SHOP 'TECH FOUND DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY NEED TO BE REPLACE FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO GO OFF' AND ' ITS THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE SO ITS HARD TO SAY IF IT WILL KEEP YOU IN UR SEAT OR DISCHARGE THE SYSTEM IF IN AN ACCIDENT. SO THE SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK AS DESIGNED WITH THE LIGHT ON.' THIS SAME MODEL HAD A SEATBELT RECALL NISSAN RECALL : WIRE HARNESS 2005 NISSAN TITAN SO I WANTED TO SEE IF THIS WAS A RELATED ISSUE. THE COMPANY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY $650 FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THE TRUCK IS OLDER BUT ONLY HAS 93K MILES ON IT AS MY DAD WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND WAS IN FAILING HELP. THANK YOU.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND STOPPED FOR A RED TRAFFIC SIGNAL TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ONTO A HIGHWAY. WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. I WAS BLOCKING THE LANE OF TRAFFIC TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AS IT WOULD NOT START AND IT WAS A TRAFFIC HAZARD/BLOCKING TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THE VEHICLE'S GAS TANK WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY, DESPITE THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWING THE GAS TANK JUST OVER 1/4 TANK FULL. THE MECHANIC FOUND A RECALL NOTICE, NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN #10V074000 FOR MY VEHICLE, 2005 NISSAN TITAN, DESCRIBING THE EXACT DEFECT THAT MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED; "THE FUEL GAUGE MAY INACCURATELY DISPLAY THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT 1/4 TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY." I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL DUE TO THE VIN, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL, 2005 NISSAN TITAN, AND HAS THE EXACT SAME DEFECT AS THE ONE DESCRIBED IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN. HAD I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING, I MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE CRASHED. SEE THE ATTACHED DIAGNOSTIC REPAIR INVOICE, NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN #10V074000, AND NISSAN SERVICE BULLETIN. I BELIEVE THAT MY VEHICLE IS OR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE EXISTING NHTSA RECALL AND NISSAN SHOULD COMPLY WITH THE RECALL AND REPAIR THE DEFECT AT NO COST TO ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATED ABOVE 15 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE CONTACT'S FATHER HAD A DIAGNOSTIC CODE READER AND THE CODES WERE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ACTUATOR AND THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR RELAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000.

CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD FOUND BY DEALER ON AN INSPECTION BUT HAS BEEN CRACKED FOR SEVERAL YEARS. WHEN I RESEARCHED THE CRACK I FOUND IT TO BE AN ISSUE WITH NO RECALL.

WHEN IT GETS COLD MY DOORS WILL NOT OPEN AND IF I CAN GET THEM OPEN THEY WON'T LATCH NOT FUN HOLDING THE DOOR SHUT DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD....IS THERE A RECALL? TSB05118 ? THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN AN ISSUE VERY TIME IT GETS COLD OUTSIDE....FOR YEARS

I PURCHASED A USED 2005 NISSAN TITAN WITH ALMOST 117,000 MILES ON IT. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS 14 YEARS IT WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND WELL MAINTAINED. I SEARCHED THE NISSAN WEBSITE FOR ANY POSSIBLE RECALLS BECAUSE ANOTHER TITAN I HAD LOOKED AT HAD SEVERAL RECALLS. THE SEARCH SHOWED NO RECALLS FOR MY VIN NUMBER. THEN I CALLED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO VERIFY THE INFORMATION. AFTER 2 SHORT TRIPS I NOTICED IT DID NOT USE ENOUGH GASOLINE TO MOVE THE GAUGE FROM SLIGHTLY OVER A QUARTER OF A TANK. ON THE THIRD TRIP THE ENGINE QUIT ON A RURAL PAVED ROAD, FORTUNATELY THERE WAS A LARGE GRASSY AREA I COULD COAST TO. I KNEW SOME TITANS HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWING AROUND A QUARTER OF A TANK WHEN THEY WERE EMPTY. FORTUNATELY AGAIN I WAS ONLY 2 MILES FROM HOME WHERE I HAD A GAS CAN WITH GAS IN IT AND MY WIFE WAS AT HOME TO BRING IT TO ME. AFTER FILLING ALL 5 GALLONS INTO THE TANK, THE TRUCK CRANKED UP AND DROVE WITH NO PROBLEMS. I IMMEDIATELY REFUELED AT THE NEXT FUEL STATION WHERE IT TOOK ANOTHER 23 GALLONS TO FILL UP, 28 GALLONS TOTAL, THAT IS THE ENTIRE CAPACITY OF THE FUEL TANK. I FEEL THAT NISSAN PUT MY AND MY FAMILIES LIFE AT RISK BY NOT ACKNOWLEDGING A WIDER PROBLEM AND EXPANDING THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT RECALL. FUEL LEVEL IS A SAFETY CONCERN RIGHT AFTER BRAKES, STEERING AND TIRES, NOT TO BE OVERLOOKED. THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE ENDED IN TRAGEDY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR LIFE BECAUSE THEY RAN OUT OF GASOLINE AND IT PUT THEM IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF IS NOT A DANGER IN ITSELF, LIKE WITH AN AIRPLANE, IT'S WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPS AND THE OTHER TRAFFIC IS STILL MOVING THAT RESULTS IN TRAGEDY.

FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS, I'VE SPENT OVER $3,000 DIAGNOSING AND "FIXING" ERRONEOUS WARNING LIGHTS. THIS PAST WEEK, MY TRUCK (2005 TITAN) WOULD NOT START. THE FIRST TIME, IT JUST CRANKED THE STARTER, BUT WOULD NOT ENGAGE. NOW, I CAN TURN THE IGNITION TO START AND THE STARTER WON'T EVEN ENGAGE (NO "CLICKING" NOISE, NO NOISE WHATSOEVER). IT WILL START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, BUT I HAVE TO WAIT AT LEAST 2-3 MINUTES BETWEEN EACH ATTEMPT. I'VE REPLACED THE ECM (AT MY OWN EXPENSE) AND IT STILL DOES NOT START PROPERLY. IT APPEARS (FROM READING ONLINE POSTS IN TITAN FORUMS) THAT THE ISSUE IS THE IPDM (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE). THE SYMPTOMS ALL LINE UP. I FEEL LUCKY THAT MY ENGINE HAS NOT COMPLETELY STOPPED WHILE DRIVING (YET). THIS IS AN UTTER HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE BECAUSE NISSAN WILL NOT ADDRESS THE IPDM PROBLEM AND RECALL/REPLACE THOSE THAT ARE FAULTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE SUN ROOF DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY BELOW APPROXIMATELY A QUARTER TANK. IT OCCASIONALLY WILL STICK AND FLUCTUATE BUT ALWAYS AROUND A QUARTER TANK AND BELOW. THE FIRST TIME I REALIZED THE PROBLEM I HAD TO HAVE MY TRUCK TOWED HOME, THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING MAJOR WHEN ALL I DID WAS RUN OUT OF GAS.

REAR SPEAKERS STOPPED WORKING. AFTER RESEARCHING FOUND THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS PINCHED IN THE DOOR JAMB ON MY KING CAB REAR DOORS. THE WIRES WERE CUT DUE TO EXTENSIVE WEAR AND BENDING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT REFLECT THE AMOUNT OF FUEL INSIDE THE TANK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS FUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL SEIDLES NISSAN (10500 NW 12TH ST, MIAMI, FL 33172) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 37522490. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT , NOW THE STEERING COLUMN SEPARATED FROM THE RACK AND PINION.

I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL ON 2005 THRU 2016 NISSAN TITANS FOR A FALTY GAS GAUGE BUT WAS TOLD THAT MY MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED, I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS WITH MY GAUGE SHOWING A 1/4 TANK OF FUEL UP TO ALMOST A 1/2 ON MY GAUGE BUT STILL RAN OUT OF FUEL, I TOOK MY TRUCK TO KEY WEST, FL. AND THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND IT COST ME OVER $700 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. NOW MY GAS GAUGE IS OFF EVEN MORE THAN BEFORE

7/15/19 3:40 PM RUSH HOUR, BEGAN ENTERING A STATE RD TO CROSS BOTH LANES, TRAFFIC TRAVELING BOTH DIRECTIONS POSTED 55 MPH MOVED IN A STRAIGHT LINE HALFWAY INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT SUDDENLY COULD NOT ACCELERATE. HAD TO QUICKLY REVERSE TO AVOID TBONE SITUATION FROM BOTH SIDES. SCARED ME HORRIBLY. BACKED UP MORE TRIED AGAIN TO GO FORWARD BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED. ENGINE WAS REVVING AT HIGH RPMS BUT TRUCK WOULD ONLY MOVE INCHES AT A TIME IN FORWARD MOTION. SO I TRAVELED BACKWARDS IN REVERSE THE LENGTH OF THE WHOLE STREET I WAS ON TO GET BACK TO MY DRIVEWAY AND BACKED UP MY DRIVEWAY WHERE I PARKED AND CALLED FOR A RIDE FROM MY HVAC TECH WHO WAS MEETING ME AT MY CHURCH TO INSTALL MUCH NEEDED AC UNIT. ONLY A COUPLE DAYS EARLIER, I HAD FLUID LEAKING AND TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR REPAIR, THE TECH INFORMED ME THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ANTIFREEZE TANK HAD FAILED. THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED, THE TANK, RADIATOR AND FLUID REPLACED. HE TOLD ME IT HAPPENED ALL THE TIME WITH NISSANS. I WILL ATTACH INVOICE FROM HIGHLY REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOP.

MY 2005 NISSAN TORNADOES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OKLAHOMA TURNPIKE AND INTERSTATE I-44 CAUSING ONE OF THE LANES TO BE TEMPORARILY CLOSED. AFTER WARRINGTON A TOW TRUCK AND BEING TOWED TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ONLY ISSUE WAS THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT REGISTERING THE CORRECT LEVEL OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE GAUGE READ 3\8 OF A TANK REMAINING, THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE TRUCK. THE NISSAN MECHANICS SAID THIS WAS A RECALL ON THIS YEAR TITAN, BUT ONCE HE CHECKED THE VIN, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED AS PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE CAN DIE AT ANY TIME IN ANY CONDITIONS CAUSING LANE CLOSURES OR WRECKS DUE TO THE SUDDEN FUEL ISSUE WITH NO WARNING. IF NISSAN HAS RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE ON THE 2005 TITAN, AND THIS ISSUE IS AFFECTING A 2005 TITAN, I BELIEVE WITHOUT DOUBT THEY HAVE MISTAKENLY OMITTED CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. IF THIS ISSUE ULTIMATELY CAUSES INJURY OR IN THE WORST SCENARIO, A FATALITY DUE TO THEIR VEHICLE DYING IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRAFFIC SITUATION, NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HAS AXLE POPPED OUT, AFTER RESEARCHING I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NISSAN HAS REDESIGNED THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I HAVE TWO OPTIONS, FIRST TO TAKE TO A SHOP AND HAVE THEM REPLACE THE C CLIP ONLY TO FAIL AGAIN DOWN THE ROAD OR SECOND TO REPLACE THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WITH THE FLAWED DESIGN FOR OVER $2500. WOULD LIKE TO SEE NISSAN ISSUE A RECALL TO CORRECT THE FLAWED DESIGN. THIS TRUCK IS USED ON ROAD ONLY AND I ONLY ENGAGE THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WHEN IT SNOWS AND ONLY USE AT LOW SPEEDS FOR A SHORT DISTANCE, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

DASHBOARD LIGHT SHOWS AIR BAG ISSUE. HARNASS WAS REPLACED TWICE UNDER WARRANTY, THEY NOW WANT $800. TO FIX. AS ITS BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE AND FIXED TWICE I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS.

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY CITY STREET, MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY, CAUSING ME TO BE STALLED IN THE LANE OF TRAVEL. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND I WAS FORCED TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE LANE OF TRAVEL INTO A NEARBY BUSINESS PARKING LOT. THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. THE FUEL GAUGE READ JUST OVER 1/4 TANK AND NO TROUBLE LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED AND ALL GAUGES WERE WITHIN NORMAL RANGE. I WANTED TO TRY THE MOST SIMPLE THING FIRST SO I HAD MY SON BRING A FUEL CAN TO ME TO SEE IF THE TANK WAS EMPTY. THIS ENDED UP BEING THE CASE AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND I STOPPED AT THE FIRST FUEL STATION AND FILLED THE TANK UP. THE GAUGE WENT TO FULL AFTER REFUELING. I RESET MY TRIP ODOMETER AFTER REFUELING TO WATCH THE MILEAGE IN CASE THE GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN AND IT DID. THE GAUGE WILL NOT MOVE BELOW 1/4 TANK. NISSAN ISSUED RECALL #10V074000 ON 3-3-2010 FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. THE RECALL COVERS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WHICH CAUSES THE FUEL GAUGE TO INACCURATELY DISPLAY REMAINING FUEL. I CONTACTED NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 AND THE PHONE REP LOOKED UP MY VIN AND TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. MY TITAN IS WITHIN THE VEHICLE YEAR RANGE (2005-2009) THE RECALL COVERS AND IS PRESENTING WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE.

TAKITA RECALL I'M HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER CALL NISSAN NOW A SOLUTION TO FIX ANY THING BASICALLY EVERY TIME I START MY VEHICLE IS MAKING A TICK TICK SOUND THOUGH IT WAS MY EXHAUST TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME HE FINALLY SAID IT WAS MANIFOLD IT HAS A CRACK I THINK IT'S A MANUFACTURER DEFECTIVE PART SO HERE I AM PLEASE HELP .NOTE 05 NISSAN TITAN LE...

FUEL GAGE SHOWS 1/4 TANK LEFT OF FUEL BUT CAR OUT OF FUEL WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OF MY TRUCK GAVE OUT AND STARTED SMOKING. I LOST ALL POWER TO CONTROL THE MOMENTUM OF THE TRUCK, ALMOST CAUSING IT TO FLIP BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF CHANGING LANES WHILE DRIVING 73 MPH. I MANAGED TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND UPON INSPECTION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR AXLE I FOUND ALL FLUID HAD LEAKED OUT ONTO THE REAR WHEEL AND IT WAS SMOKING. I TRIED PUTTING THE TRUCK IN GEAR TO SEE IF I COULD MOVE BUT THERE WAS NO POWER BEING PROVIDED TO THE DRIVE TRAIN. THE ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION IS THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL GAVE OUT. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 91006 MILES ON IT AND IF THIS HAD OCCURRED ON ONE OF THE CURVES I AND MY FAMILY WOULD ALL BE IN THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT A REPAIR SHOP AWAITING REPAIRS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY NISSAN TITAN 2005 STARTED SHAKING WHILE DRIVING ON A MODERN TRAFFIC. I SUDDENLY STARTED LOSING CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND THANK GOD I MANAGE EXIT THE FREEWAY WITH THE SPEED I MANAGE TO CONTROL. I PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT AND TRIED TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. MY TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO TURN ON AND I HAD 1/4 OF GAS LEFT SO IT WAS IMPOSIBLE I NEEDED GAS AFTER TRYING DIFFERENT METHODS, I WALKED TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION, BOUGHT A GALLON OF GAS WITH ITS PROPER FUEL CONTAINER AND ADDED TO MY TRUCK THEN IT TURN ON. I CONTACTED MY NEAREST NISSAN DEALER AND THEY FIXED 2 RECALLS THAT MY TRUCK ALREADY HAD BUT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO FIX MY MAIN PROBLEM WHICH IS THE FUEL PUMP. AND I READ MANY NISSAN TITAN 2005 ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND THE RECALL NUMBER (10V074000) WHICH THE DEALER I ATTENDED DIDN'T WANT TO FIX IT. IT'S BEEN A BAD EXPERIENCE BECAUSE I COULD OF CRASH AND IT COULDN'T GONE WORSE DUE TO MY GAS NOT BEEN CORRECTLY PLUS I MISSED WORK AND IT'S JUST PUTTING STRESS ON ME I NEED THIS FIX THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INACCURATELY DISPLAYED THAT THERE WAS FUEL IN THE VEHICLE (TYPICALLY ABOUT A QUARTER OF A TANK) WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

DRIVER/ PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MAINIFOLDS CRACKING EVERY 20,000 MILES CAUSING EXHAUST LEAKS IN CAB OF TRUCK..

MY TITAN STALLS WHILE DRIVING, A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! REPLACED THE RECALLED ECM RELAY, THAT WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, THEN THE SAME ISSUE. FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE RESEARCHED, THE IPDM IS ALSO A CULPRIT BUT NISSAN WON'T RECALL/REPLACE THESE.

THE FUEL GAUGE IS READING 1/4 TANK AND I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF-- THE READING WAS INCORRECT-- I WAS OUT OF GAS-- I HAD TO GET CAR TOWED-- HAD FAMILY IN CAR COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT-- THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODELS BUT NOT FOR MY CAR?? RECALL NUMBER: 10V074000

THE GAS GUAGE IM GONING TO SAY STICKS FOR A LACK OF WORDS BUT IT WILL SAY 1/4 TANK THEN INSTANTLY DROP WHICH WE HAVE GOTTEN USED TO SINCE THIS HAS BE ONGOING AND TODAY ON MY WAY TO THE GAS STATION IT WAS AT A QUARTER TANK AND MID TURN DIED LIKE IT RAN OUT OF GAS SINCE THEN I'VE FED IT MORE GAS AND GOT IT TO CRANK BUT ITS NOT DISPLAYING ANY GAS IN IT BY THE GUAGE OR INFORMATION CENTER AND GIVING IT GAS IS DIFFICULT I PUT THE PUMP IN AND START FILLING AND IT SPITS THE GAS BACK OUT.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK ON A MAIN ROAD AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE MY TRUCK WAS BARELY MOVING, UNLESS I PUT THE PEDAL TO THE GROUND. THE TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND AFTER LOOKING INTO IT, THE CODES P1757 AND P1759 CAME UP FOR THE FRONT BREAK SOLENOID VALVE AND AFTER EXAMINING THE TCM, I NOTICED THE PIN SNAPPED FOR THE FRONT BREAK SOLENOID, HENCE MAKING THE TRUCK GO INTO LIMP MODE. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND NOTICED THAT MULTIPLE 2005 NISSAN TITANS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OF THIS PIN SNAPPING CAUSING THE TRUCK TO GO INTO LIMP MODE BECAUSE THE SOLENOID RECEIVES NOW POWER. I WAS TURNING ONTO A MAIN ROAD WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 35 SO I ACCELERATED THINKING IT WOULD DO SO NORMAL AND MAKE IT BEFORE AN ONCOMING CAR WAS COMING, WHEN THE TRUCK WAS SLOWLY MOVING IN FRONT OF THE INCOMING CAR, I HAD TO QUICKLY PUT THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE TO AVOID THE ON COMING CAR BECAUSE I WAS EXCEPTING TO MAKE THE TURN BEFORE THE CAR WOULD COME BUT THE TRUCK GOING INTO LIMP MODE CAUSE THE TRUCK TO TAKE MUCH LONGER TO BARELY MAKE THAT TURN. I WAS LUCKY TO REVERSE QUICK ENOUGH FOR I DO NOT KNOW IF THE INCOMING CAR WOULD HAVE STOPPED OR SLOWED DOWN IN TIME.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WILL READ NO LOWER THAN A QUARTER OF A TANK. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE RECALL #10V074000. THAT RECALL IS FOR 2005 NISSAN TITANS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. THEY HOWEVER DENY THE CLAIM BECAUSE IT DOESN'T INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER. I FEEL THAT THIS VIN NUMBER SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL AS WELL.

WHEN FUEL GAUGE GETS TO ABOUT A QUARTER OF A TANK IT NO LONGER READS IT STAYS ON THE SAME SPOT. LEAVING YOU TO BELIEVE YOU HAVE FUEL WHEN YOU DON'T.

THE IPDM (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE HAS FAILED FOUR TIMES ON THIS VEHICLE. WHEN FAILURE OCCURS THE VEHICLE WILL STALL, NOT CRANK,AND RUNS ROUGH. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC MANY TIMES WITH THESE FAILURES. THIS CREATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS FAILURE IS GOING TO OCCUR. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING CAUSING THESE PREMATURE FAILURES OF THIS MODULE.

GAS GAUGE WILL ONLY READ DOWN TO A 1/4 TANK LEVEL. THIS CAUSES ERRORS IN DETERMINING HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. I HAVE RUN OUT OF FUEL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CREATE CAUSE FOR COLLISION. THIS MALFUNCTION NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED/

WHEN EXITING HIGHWAY ENGINE QUIT RUNNING. FUEL TANK SHOWED 1/4 TANK LEFT. HIGHWAY SUPPORT VEHICLE STOP TO HELP, GAVE ME SOME GAS, ABOUT 1 GALLON. STILL WOULD NOT START, HAD VEHICLE TOWED. PUT 2 MORE GALLONS OF FUEL IN TANK, VEHICLE STARTED. FOUND A NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V074000, FOR 2005-2009 TITAN'S FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY TITAN IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH IT'S A 2005. I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH NO HELP. JUST ASKING WHY MY TITAN IS NOT COVERED? I HAVE UPLOADED A FILE OF THE CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP WHICH I DRIVE MAINLY IN THE WINTER DUE TO MY JOB REQUIRING ME TO GO INTO WORK IN EVERY SNOW STORM. I HAVE ONLY 128,000 MI ON MY TRUCK. THE TRUCK SITS IN THE SUMMER TO SAVE ON GAS. AFTER THE TRUCK SAT FOR THREE MONTHS THIS SUMMER HAD TO CHANGE A LEAKY OIL PAN FROM RUST. ONCE THAT WAS FIXED I TOOK IT OUT TO READY IT FOR INSPECTION. WHILE DRIVING CAME TO A STOP SIGN BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. TRIED PUMPING PEDAL AND HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. ENGAGED THE E BRAKE AND HAD VERY LITTLE YET NEXT TO NO STOPPING FROM THAT. ENDED UP CONSTANTLY PUMPING BRAKES WITH NO SECONDARY CIRCUIT ENGAGING. I CONTINUED TO GO THROUGH 2 MORE STOP SIGNS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP. LUCKILY IT WAS LATER AT NIGHT AND THERE WASN'T MANY CARS ON THE ROAD OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A BAD ACCIDENT. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK TOWED HOME I HAD PULLED THE LEFT FRONT INNER FENDER LINER OUT TO DISCOVER 2 JUNCTION BLOCKS WITH 3 LINES COMING IN AND GOING OUT. ALL THREE LINES HAD BURST AT THE SAME TIME CAUSING ME TO LOOSE ALL BRAKES. I TOOK A PICTURE OF THIS SO EVERYONE CAN SEE. NISSAN SHOULD PROVIDE AN EXTRA COVERING OR SOMETHING TO KEEP THE ROAD SALT FROM GETTING TO THESE LINES BECAUSE AS THESE TRUCKS GET OLDER I AM SURE PEOPLE WILL EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING AS ME BUT, MAY NOT BE AS LUCKY TO AVOID A BAD CRASH.

EXAUST FLANGE AFTER MUFFLER RUSTED AND BROKE WITH TAIL PIPE FACING UPWARD. HOT EXAUST AIR IS THEN TRAPPED IN WHEEL WELL CAUSING DAMAGE TO ABS CABLES AND OTHER ELECTRONICS IN CHASSIS WIRING.

UPON INSPECTION, ALL TIRES EXCEPT SPARE HAVE SIDEWALL CRACKING ADJACENT TO RIM, LONGITUDINAL CRACK AT INSIDE OF EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR TREAD, AND CRACKING SLITS SIM TO FAILURE INTERMITTENTLY BETWEEN TREADS. TIRE SHOP RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT AND CALLED IT SEVERE WEATHER CHECKING. THE COMBINATION OF LOW MILES AND MINIMAL TREAD WEAR MAKES THIS PREMATURE FAILURE A SAFETY RISK. REPORTED TO MICHELIN AND THEY BLAMED IT ON AGE. THE TIRES ARE UNDER SEVEN YEARS OLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SEAT BELTS AND AIR BAGS FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. WHEN THE CONTACT FASTENED THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT TO THE HARNESS, THE MESSAGE "SEAT BELT, AIR BAGS" IMMEDIATELY FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK FAILED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. UPON FILLING THE FUEL TANK HALFWAY, FUEL SPILLED ONTO THE GROUND. IT TOOK THE CONTACT APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES OR MORE TO FILL THE FUEL TANK HALFWAY. COURTESY NISSAN OF TAMPA (3800 WEST HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE, TAMPA, FLORIDA 33614, (813) 235-0318) DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A RECALL LETTER WAS RECEIVED FOR THE FUEL TANK; HOWEVER, A VIN SEARCH SHOWED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBERS: 28501379 AND 32622188. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO PROVIDED THE OPTION OF A VEHICLE TRADE-IN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

THE AIR CONDTIONING DOOR ACTUATORS COMMONLY GO OUT CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO NOT BE ABLE TO PERFORM THE DUTY OF DEFROSTING THE WINDSHIELD. EFFECTED ACTUATORS ARE BOTH THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND AIR FLOW CONTROL. THE PROBLEM HAS EFFECTED ALL NISSAN TITANS 2004-2015 HOWEVER A RECALL HAS ONLY BEEN ISSUED TO 2009 YEAR AND NEWER TITANS.

I NOTICED OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY. HOWEVER, I WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOURCE INITIALLY. THE LAST INCIDENT I RETURNED HOME FROM WORK. AS I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE, I NOTICED MORE OIL ON THE GROUND. I STARTED LOOKING UNDER MY TRUCK AGAIN. THIS TIME I FOUND EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE. I TOOK MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN TO THE REPAIR SHOP. UPON COMPLETION OF THEIR INSPECTION, I WAS GIVEN A COPY OF NISSAN'S SERVICE BULLETIN REFERENCE #NTB10-032 2004 - 2008 TITAN, REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKS. THEIR LISTED REQUIRED ACTION IS TO "INSTALL THE NEW AXLE SHAFT ASSEMBLY---WHICH INCLUDES A NEW RETAINER, AXLE BEARING, OIL SEAL, BEARING CAGE, AND ABS ROTOR---LISTED IN THE PARTS INFORMATION TABLE". IMMEDIATELY BELOW ACTION IS A NOTE WHICH STATES "DO NOT REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY FOR THIS INCIDENT, IF IT SHOULD OCCUR". I CONTACTED NHTSA WHO THEN REFERRED ME TO NISSAN @ 800-647-7261. ONCE IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN, THE REPRESENTATIVE ASKED FOR THE LAST SIX NUMBERS OF THE VIN, PLACED ME ON HOLD, AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES SHE CAME BACK AND REFERRED ME TO MY INITIAL POINT OF CONTACT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT JUST A SERVICE BULLETIN. IT WOULD BE VERY TRAGIC TO HEAR OF A FATALITY AS A RESULT OF A FAULTY PRODUCT. READING THE MANY REVIEWS FROM TITAN OWNERS IT IS EVIDENT THE PART IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH.

I TOOK MY TRUCK TO YOUNGBLOOD NISSAN IN SPRINGFIELD AND THEY SAID THAT THEY CANT FIXED MY RECALL BECAUSE OF THE LINES WERE RUSTED SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND IS GOING TO CHARGE ME 1200.00 BUT THE RECALL SHOULD COVERIT

I WAS LOOKING ON THIS WEBSITE AND SEEN 6 RECALLS FOR THE 2005 NISSAN TITAN WHICH I HAVE AND AND NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE WIRE HARNESS ON THE DRIVERSIDE REAR DOOR. WELL ALL THOSE WIRES ARE BROKEN OFF NO MUSIC FROM THE REAR SPEAKERS ON EITHER SIDE. I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WERE I TRY TO ACCELERATE AND THE TRUCK BARELY WANTS TO MOVE AND SOMETIMES TAKES LONG TO FINALLY START. WHEN YOUR IDLING IT SOUNDS AS IF IT'S GOING TO BREAK DOWN. WHEN THE A.C. IS ON IT MAKES A VERY LOUD ANNOYING SOUND. I'VE ADDED PICS OF WHAT I FOUND ON YOUR WEBSITE AS I'VE INCLUDED A PIC OF THE FRAYED WIRES FROM THE HARNESS AND NISSAN OF MELBOURNE ISN'T TRYING TO FIX THIS BEING A RECALLED PART.

WHILE DRIVING ONE THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED MY VEHICLE START TO SHUTTER AND SHUT DOWN AS IF IT RAN OUT OF GAS. MY FUEL GAUGE SAID HALF A TANK SO I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THE PROBLEM UNTIL I WALKED TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP A GAS CAN. I PUT 2 GALLONS OF GAS INTO MY FUEL TANK THAT SAID I HAD A HALF A TANK. I STARTED MY TRUCK AND IT STARTED. SINCE THAT INCIDENT IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES, THE MOST RECENT BEING YESTERDAY 07/02/18. I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP TODAY IN HOPES THAT IT FIXES THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FUEL GAUGE REFLECTED A QUARTER OF A TANK AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT CALLED A FAMILY MEMBER TO BRING SOME FUEL. AS SOON AS THE FUEL WAS ADDED, THE VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE OTHER TIMES, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD START WHEN FUEL WAS ADDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 210,000.

I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE GAS GAUGE STILL SHOWED OVER A QUARTER OF A TANK. BOTH TIMES I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES.

THE FUEL GAUGE SEEMS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ONLINE IT APPEARS THERE IS A RECALL AFFECTING MY TRUCK, CAMPAIGN ID # R1010 NHTSA 10V-074.

DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND VEHICLE SPUTTERS AS IF OUT OF FUEL UNTIL IT DIED. COULD NOT GET TRUCK TO CRANK AND WAS CLEARLY A LACK OF FUEL. FUEL GAUGE READ 1/4 TANK FULL EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN CAMPAIGN 10V074000. FORTUNATRLY A POLICE OFFICER ASSISTED IN PUSHING MY TRUCK INTO A PARKING LOT. I CALLED A FAMILY MEMBER TO DRIVE UP WITH A GAS CONTAINER TO PUT A FEW GALLONS IN. SURE ENOUGH, CRANKED RIGHT UP. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I CONTACTED NISSAN OF USA, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CAMPAIGN AND BECAUSE OF THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF MY TRUCK I WOULD NOT RECEIVE ASSISTANCE IN THE REPAIR OF THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

2005 NISSAN TITAN 121K MILES. CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAUSING A EXHAUST LEAK. THERE IS A STRONG EXHAUST SMELL IN THE CAB WHEN TRAVELING AT SLOWER SPEEDS (UNDER 35MPH). IT HAS BEEN SO BAD AT TIMES IT MAKES YOU LIGHT HEADED AND SICK TO YOUR STOMACH. THIS COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO PASS OUT WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THEM TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE. DEFIANTLY A SAFETY HAZARD! ALSO CAUSING A DECREASE IN GAS MILEAGE AS WELL AS A LOUD KNOCKING/PUFFING NOISE UPON ACCELERATION. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FINDING 100'S IF NOT 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS! WHY HAS THIS NEVER BEEN RECALLED? THE SAFETY ISSUE ALONE SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL, ITS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY COMPONENT!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY AND MY ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER, PUT IT IN PARK TURN THE KEY OFF THEN STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. STARTED YESTERDAY, AND DOES IT ABOUT EVERY TEN MILES. STARTS RIGHT BACK UP EVERY TIME. SOUNDS LIKE THE IPDM BUT FENTON NISSAN IN LEES SUMMIT MISSOURI SAID MY TRUCKS NOT RECALLED. PLEASE HELP! NO SPIT AND SPUTTER, IT JUST DIES OUT OF NO WHERE. IT ALMOST CAUSED A REAR END COLLISION WHILE PULLIN ON INTERSTATE. THIS RELAY PROBLEM IS VERY UNSAFE. PLEASE HELP!

COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO FAULTY RADIATOR DESIGN. COOLANT MIXED WITH ATF, FROM INTERNAL TRANSFER COOLER LEAK.

THE AXLE SHAFT ON THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CAME OUT CAUSING FAILURE TO THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER 2005 TITAN LE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED A BRAKING ISSUE 8-10 TIMES. WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS ON THE FREEWAY TRAFFIC BEGINS TO SLOW, I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHUTTER, THE RED BRAKE ICON ON THE DASH CAME ON, AND THE BRAKE PEDDLE WENT ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO PULL TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE HARDER YOU PUSH THE MORE THE BRAKES SEEM TO FAIL AND THE TRUCK SHAKES HARDER. THE ONLY THING THAT FIXES THE ISSUE IS TO STOP THE TRUCK AND TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT. EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL AS IF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 8-10 TIMES SINCE OWNING THIS TRUCK AS NEW. I HAVE READ MANY INCIDENTS ONLINE IN BLOGS ETC.THAT ARE ALMOST EXACTLY AS I HAVE DESCRIBED. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I WHOLE HEARTILY DISAGREE WITH THEM. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS ULTIMATELY GOING TO CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, NORMAL RESIDENTIAL SPEEDS (25MPH) AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN. LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 11/8/2017.

THE CONTACT REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART FAILED AGAIN AND WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE MANUFACTURER WOULD PROVIDE A SOLUTION WITH NO RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE WARRANTY REPLACEMENT PART PROVIDED NO SOLUTION AND, A FEW YEARS LATER, THERE WAS A CRACK AND LEAK WHICH FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V517000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISOCNNECT.

I HAVE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT REAR AXLE SEALS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT DUE TO SEVERE LEAKING. DEALER ESTIMATE AT $600.00. I HAVE READ FORUMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND IT APPEARS TO BE JUST SHORT OF A RECALL? 2005 NISSAN TITAN 2WD WITH 84,000 MILES ON IT.

TAKATA RECALL .A RECALL HAS BEEN NOTED FFOR THIS MATTER. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER THE DAY AFTER I FOUND OUT THROUGH MEDIA. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THEY COULD NOT COMPLETE THE RECALL DUE TO A SYSTEM ISSUE WITH MY TRUCK NOT ALLOWING THE UPLOAD OF DATA. THE DEALER STATED TO COMPLETE THE RECALL I WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE A $900 UNIT TO ALLOW MY TRUCK TO UPLOAD THE DATA REQUIRED.

TRUCK WILL NOT BRAKE QUICKLY. I HAVE HAD TO RUN OFF THE ROAD MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO CARS IN FRONT OF ME BRAKING. TRUCK HAS TROUBLE SLOWING DOWN.

ON THE KING CAB REAR DOORS THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE AIR BAG BREAK DUE TO THE MANUFACTURE DESIGN OF PLACING COOPER WIRING IN A PLACE THAT FREQUENTLY BENDS. AS A RESULT THE WIRE COME APART AND CAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO REGISTER A FAULT WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM.

MY FUEL GAUGE STOPS DROPPING ONCE IT GETS BETWEEN 1/2 AND 1/4 TANK OF GAS. I ALL WAYS CHECK MY AND RESET MY TRIP ODOMETER AND KNOW WHEN I NEED TO REFUEL BUT MY FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT MATCH WHAT MY TRIP ODOMETER IS READING. I WENT ONLINE AND CHECKED TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL ON 340,000 2005 TITANS BUT NOT FOR MINE. NOT SURE WHY SOME 2005 TITANS ARE IN THE RECALL BUT NOT ALL EVEN THOUGH MANY MORE HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. SEEMS TO ME A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AND NOT JUST SOME. MINE AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY SHOULD BE JUST AS IMPORTANT TO NSSAN.

MY NISSAN TITAN HAS ROUGHLY 31,000 MILES ON IT OVER THE LAST 12 YEARS . THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED . I DID A SEARCH TO SEE IF THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS AND PICTURES ON THE INTERNET SO I WAS AMAZED TO SEE THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS . MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF UNDER THE 8 YEAR 80,000 MILE EMISSIONS WARRANTY . THE ONLY PROBLEM IS MANY PEOPLE ( INCLUDING MYSELF ) ARE PAST THE 8 YEARS EVEN THOUGH WAY UNDER THE MILEAGE . MY TRUCK IS PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW INSIDE AND OUT AND HAS BEEN SPARINGLY USED AND STILL NOW I HAVE HARMFUL EXHAUST FUMES LEAKING OUT AND THE TRUCK IS ROBBED OF POWER .

I WAS DRIVING AND MADE A TURN FROM ONE MAJOR STREET TO THE NEXT. I MERGED INTO THE MIDDLE LANE OF A 3 LANE ROAD AND MY TRUCK COMPLETELY LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME SQUEALED ITS TIRES TO AVOID RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF ME. I LET THE TRUCK CONTINUE TO MOVE WITHOUT APPLYING BRAKES OR I WOULD HAVE ENDED UP STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A 3 LANE BUSY ROAD. THE TRUCK WOULDN'T EVEN TURN INTO THE VERY RIGHT LAND WITHOUT ME TURNING THE WHEEL HARD. I PULLED OFF ONTO A SIDE STREET AND CALLED AAA. THE VEHICLE REGISTER AT A 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS. THE AAA DRIVER ADDED $2 WORTH OF GAS TO THE TANK BUT IT DID NOT START. I WAS TOWED TO A AAA APPROVED SHOP ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY AND WHEN THE SHOP OWNER WENT TO TAKE THE TRUCK OFF THE TOW BED IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THE OWNER SAID THAT IT WAS JUST OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THE GAUGE READ A 1/4 OF A TANK. I WENT DIRECTLY TO A GAS STATION AND IT TOOK 25.695 GALLONS OF GAS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2005 NISSAN TITANS BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT PULLING IT UP. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V074000 INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT WORK WHEN I HEARD THE FIRST CLUNK. THEN LATER ON THAT DAY I WAS TURNING TO THE LEFT IT CLUMPED AGAIN NOW WHEN GOING STAIGHT IT CLUNK HAD AND THEN I DRAINED THE OIL AND GAS METAL TEETH FROM THE SPIDER GEAR WAS IN THE OIL. IT ALL STARTED WHEN I WAS MOVING AT 10MPH OR LES.

CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. NISSAN HAS A POOR DESIGN AND I HAVE CHECKED ON LINE AND 100'S OF OTHERS HAVE COMMENTED ABOUT THE CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THESE ARE A SAFETY CONCERN AS I CAN SMELL THE EXHAUST GAS AROUND THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK, INSTEAD OF IT BEING PROPERLY TRANSFERRED OUT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AS DESIGNED. NISSAN IS NOT SUPPORTING THE REQUIRED REPLACEMENT WHICH SHOULD BE FREE. THE REPAIR COST ARE IN THE THOUSANDS NOT ACCEPTABLE WHEN IT IS NISSAN POOR DESIGN ALL ALL TRUCKS WITH THESE MANIFOLDS ARE AFFECTED.

THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AXLE KEEPS FALLING OUT OF THE TRANSFER CASE. I BELIEVE DUE TO A C-CLIP FAILURE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED.

ON FEBRUARY 25, 2017 MY SON WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND HIS 2005 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK COMPLETELY DIED, LOST ALL POWER STEERING, BRAKES, EVERYTHING. MY SON WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK OFF THE BUSY ROAD WITHOUT GETTING REAR ENDED, WHICH WAS HARD TO DO FOR A 20 YEAR OLD. ONCE WE HAD THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED, WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT. THE VEHICLE SHOWED OVER 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS, BUT IN FACT, IT WAS EMPTY. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OTHER 2005 NISSAN TITAN'S WERE RECALLED WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, HOWEVER, NISSAN TOLD ME, THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE MY SON COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED FROM THE TRUCK DYING AS HE WAS GOING 50 MPH DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE TRIED TO SPEAK WITH NISSAN, ASKING THEM TO LOOK INTO MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE, SINCE THERE IS A PAST HISTORY OF THIS PART FAILING ON OTHER TITANS. AFTER 3 PHONE CALLS, ALL THEY WILL TELL ME IS, IT ISN'T THEIR FAULT, THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND RECALL DOESN'T INVOLVE MY VIN. I AGAIN ASKED THEM TO CONSIDER EXPANDING THE RECALL TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD NO. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP TO GET THIS FIXED, BUT IT'S A SHAME THAT NISSAN WON'T EVEN CONSIDER LOOKING INTO THIS WHEN THEY KNOW IT'S AN ISSUE WITH OTHER TITANS. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE FAMILY SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW.

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKS IN THIS MODEL IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM YET NISSAN STILL CHOOSES TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT ,IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IT LEAKS FLUID CONTINUOUSLY ON TO THE BACK BREAKING SYSTEM SO NOT ONLY COULD IT COMPRISE YOUR WHOLE BACK END BUT ALSO YOUR ABILITY TO STOP YOUR VEHICLE SAFELY,THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED THOUSANDS OF TIMES TO YOUR AGENCY IN THE MEANTIME THE CONSUMERS CONTINUE TO REPLACE THESE EVERY 30-40,000 MILES JUST TO MAINTAIN THEIR SAFETY AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD WHEN I FEEL IT IS TIME NISSAN ADDRESS THIS AND TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO ENSURE THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN THESE VEHICLES IS NOT CREATING A POTENTIAL HAZARD TOP THE DRIVER OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD .

THE BRAKES FAILED DUE TO A PIN HOLE IN THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE LINE. THERE ARE THREE FITTINGS THAT ARE IN THE SAME LOCATION ON THE TRUCK. ALL THREE SHOWED SIGNS OF CORROSION. THE ONE THAT FAILED LOOKS LIKE IT HAD BEEN DAMAGED ON INSTALLATION. THIS TRUCK IS OVER 11 YEARS OLD AND HAS SPENT MOST OF THE TIME OUTSIDE. IT HAS BEEN LOCATED IN SOUTH FLORIDA THE ENTIRE TIME SO HAS NOT SEEN ANY SALT. ALL THE OTHER FITTINGS AND LINES LOOK FINE. YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE THE FLAT SPOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE HOLE. THERE HAS BEEN NO WORK DONE ON THIS LINE SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW. (I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER) I HAVE THE FAILED LINE. I REPAIRED IT MYSELF WITH PARTS FROM THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITH THE TRUCK ON MY PROPERTY AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED. SEE ATTACHED PHOTO OF THE HOLE IN THE LINE. THIS LINE COMES FROM THE ABS UNIT TO A FITTING CLOSE TO THE FRONT WHEEL.

NISSAN PREVIOUSLY ISSUED A RECALL DEALING WITH THE WIRING HARNESS ISSUE, #06V459000 TO REROUTE AND CHANGE THE WIRING COVER. THIS AFFECTS THE AIRBAGS AND THE OPERATION OF THE SEAT BELTS, AS WELL AS THE AUDIO SYSTEM. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING AND THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR SPEAKER DOESN'T WORK. THE RECALL WAS JUST A TEMPORARY COVER UP OF THE PROBLEM. THE ISSUE CAME UP AGAIN AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT, WANTING TO CHARGE UPWARDS OF $1000 TO REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESSS, A PROBLEM THEY ARE ALREADY AWARE OF. THE RECALL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, ONLY A TEMPORARY COVER-UP.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN WITH 31,000 MILES ON IT AND IT JUST FAILED A VEHICLE INSPECTION, BECAUSE THE FRAME WAS RUSTED THROUGH IN FRONT OF THE REAR WHEELS. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE 10 YEARS AND 6 MONTHS AND THIS SEEMS VERY PREMATURE TO HAVE HAPPEN. OTHERWISE THE BODY LOOKS BRAND NEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 7 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE READING WAS INACCURATE. THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO A SAFE LOCATION AND REFUELED. IN 2014, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH A QUARTER TANK OF FUEL, THE READING WOULD DISPLAY LESS AFTER RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" CRACKED MANIFOLDS BANK 1

EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED AT ABOUT 75,000 MILES.

2005 NISSAN TITAN, THE HEATER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, THE FAN BLOWS FINE ALONG WITH THE A/C, IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF THE TRUCK IS MOVING OR STATIONARY.THERE IS A CLICKING IN THE DASH WHEN I SWITCH THE CONTROL FROM, FLOOR TO DASH OR FROM DEFROST TO FLOOR, ETC. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IN 2015, BUT ASSUME IT HAS BEEN A PREVIOUS PROBLEM.

CERTAIN 2005 NISSAN TITANS WERE RECALLED IN CAMPAIGN #10V074000 DUE TO THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWING THAT THERE WAS FUEL REMAINING WHEN THE TANK WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THIS OCCURRED TO MY VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2013. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND I LOST POWER STEERING. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO TURN WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO LEAVE THE ROADWAY. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN, THEY DECLARED MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WAS NOT AFFECTED ALTHOUGH I WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

I WAS RECENTLY DRIVING MY TRUCK DOWN INTERSTATE I-95 IN PHILADELPHIA WHEN I OUT OF NO WHERE I HEARD A LOW PITCHED HOWELING NOISE, I WAS PASSING THREW A CONSTRUCTION ZONE SO I COULDN'T PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER AND LOOK FOR A ISSUE. A FEW SECONDS LATER I HEAR A LOUD SERIES OF THUMPING AND MY TRUCK IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE IS TRAVELING SIDEWAYS AT ROUND 45MPH, I SWERVED AND MISSED SEVERAL CARS AND MANAGED TO JUST MISS THE GUARD RAIL AND COME TO A STOP. IF I WAS TRAVELING ANYTHING OVER 45MPH, IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN PRETTY FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. I THEN INSPECTED THE VEHICLE TO FIND THAT THE REAR AXLE HAD LOCKED UP THE REAR WHEELS AND THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD TORN OUT OF THE REAR AXLE. DO TO THE REAR WHEELS SUDDENLY BECOMING LOCKED, MADE THE TRUCK NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE SIZE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD IT TOWED TO FIND THAT THE REAR AXLE HAD FILLED WITH MOISTURE DO TO A DEFECT IN THE SEAL & VENT OF THE SET UP. I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN THE NISSAN TITAN WORLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND RESTARTED AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT REGISTERING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. UPDATED 02/05/16*LJ

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE FAULTY AND CRACK ALLOWING DEADLY CARBON MONOXIDE EXHAUST GASES TO ENTER THE CAB OF THE TRUCK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. THIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS AND CRASH. IT WAS ONLY AFTER MY 6TH LONG ROAD TRIP (3+ HOURS DRIVING) DID I DISCOVER I WAS BEING POISONED BY CARBON MONOXIDE. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO AN EXHAUST REPAIR COMPANY AND AS SOON AS I MENTIONED MY VEHICLE THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME HE WAS 99% SURE I HAD A CRACKED MANIFOLD. HE LATER CONFIRMED THIS WITH A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH REVEALED BOTH MANIFOLDS CRACKED AND LEAKING EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE CAB. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED ME JUST SITTING IN A PARKING LOT! I THOUGHT I WAS JUST GETTING BAD HEADACHES FROM THE LONG DRIVE AND MY NAUSEA WAS FROM THE EXTREME HEADACHES. AFTER THIS HAPPENING SO MANY TIMES I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE MORE TO THIS. THINK ABOUT SOMEBODY DRIVING, BEING POISONED TO THE POINT TO WHERE THEY PULL OFF THE ROAD TO REST AND TRY TO SLEEP OFF THEIR HEADACHE IN A RUNNING VEHICLE TO STAY WARM AND END UP DYING. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS. I DON'T WANT A NEW DEFECTIVE MANIFOLD, I WANT A FIX!

THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY SUDDENLY; THE RPM'S REVVED UP ACCESSIBLY TO 3000-4000 WITHOUT GOING INTO GEAR. AFTER I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER I WITNESSED FLUID SPEWING ALL OVER MY ENGINE, OUT ON THE SIDES OF MY VEHICLE, AND UNDER HOOD.

AFTER DRIVING FOR 250-300 MILES WITH STOPS FOR FUEL AND FOOD THE ENGINE LOSES POWER AND QUITS. AFTER GETTING OFF THE ROAD AND TURNING OFF THE IGNITION FOR SEVERAL MINUTES THE ENGINE WILL RESTART AND RUN FOR 10 T0 20 MINUTES UNTIL IT QUITS AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AT SPEED OF 70+/- MPH. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 6 OR 8 MONTHS. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO SEVERAL SHOPS AND SEVERAL PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ACCORDING TO THE ECM SERVICE ENGINE CODES. NOTHING HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM. TOOK THE TRUCK TO NISSAN DEALER FOR HELP. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND SAID THEY HAD NO RECORD OF ANY SUCH PROBLEM AND COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY DROVE THE TRUCK AND HAD THE PROBLEM HAPPEN WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO QUIT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AT THIS POINT NEITHER DOES NISSAN. I BELIEVE THIS LOSE OF POWER IS AS DANGEROUS AS THE GM IGNITION PROBLEM WHICH CAUSED A LOST OF POWER. SINCE I NEED THE TRUCK FOR TRANSPORTATION I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT BUT TRY TO STAY IN THE RIGHT LANE SO I CAN GET OFF THE ROAD WHEN IT QUITS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE FUMES COMING FROM THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE CONTACT TO BECOME NAUSEOUS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WERE TWO CRACKS ON THE MANIFOLD AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000.

REAL AXLE SEAL LEAK. NISSAN DOES NOT RECOMMEND REPLACING THE SEAL BUT SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AXLE AND TO REPLACE AXLE. IF NISSAN KNOWS THE AXLE IS FAULTY AND REQUIRES THE AXLE TO BE REPLACED INSTEAD OF JUST REPLACING THE SEAL THEN THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND PAY FOR THE FIX UNDER A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, AT APPROX 65 MPH, I EXPERIENCED MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN LOSING ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER TO ALL SUPPORTING ENGINE ACCESSORIES INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING AND ABS. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING, BY DOWN SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL, WHICH FAILED. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO FIND A FIND A SPOT TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE BUSY HIGHWAY AND CALL FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT I HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL, DESPITE THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWING WELL OVER 1/4 OF A TANK OF USABLE FUEL. AT THIS POINT I DISCOVERED A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THE 2005 - 2009 NISSAN TITAN INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V074000) AND PROCEEDED TO CALL THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED IN THE REMEDY PORTION OF THE RECALL. WHEN SPEAKING WITH NISSAN IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN, AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP BY NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO CONFIRM MY FINDING AND SEE IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR FOR ME UNDER THE RECALL. WHEN I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE VIN WASN'T APART OF THE RECALL, BUT DID SEE A SERVICE BULLETIN ASSOCIATED WITH THAT MAKE AND MODEL. IT WAS ULTIMATELY DETERMINED THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO RECOVER WARRANTY MONEY FROM NISSAN, AND INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. BOTTOM LINE, IT CAME DOWN TO A MONETARY ISSUE NOT A SAFETY FACTOR ISSUE FOR NISSAN. IT WAS OBVIOUS MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES AS THE OTHER 2005 NISSAN TITAN VIN'S IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. HOWEVER, BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE IN TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER, IT IS OBVIOUS NISSAN FEELS THE ONUS OF LIABILITY ULTIMATELY FALLS ON ME AS A CONSUMER AND NOT THEM, IF I WOULD LIKE TO OPERATE MY VEHICLE IN A SAFE MANNER. UPDATED 10/9/15 *LN UPDATED 12/21/2015 *JS

THE TRUCK STALLED OUT NO POWER HAD TO CRASH INTO SHOULDER OF ROAD AND EMBANKMENT. GLAD WE SURVIVED THE BUMPY CRASH, I JUST HAD SUSPENSION WORK DONE THAT SAVED US. WE READ THE IPDM BOARD OR ECM RELAY IS BAD AND CAUSES THIS STALLING TO HAPPEN. PART NUMBER FOR ECM RELAY 284B7-CW29.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. REAR SEAL AND E LOCKER FAILED

HI, I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN AND THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS CRACKED IN THE SAME SPOT TWICE NOW AND IT IS BEFORE THE CAT SO THAT MEANS ITS NOW A GROSS POLLUTER. THE PROBLEM IS YOU GET IT FIXED AND THEY PUT THE SAME PART BACK ON THAT CRACKS AGAIN BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T CHANGED THE DESIGN. THERE ARE 3 OTHER TITANS IN MY TOWN AND ALL OF US HAVE THE SAME STORY. ALSO THE SWAY BAR MOUNT ON ALL OF OURS ARE BROKE WITCH RESULTS IN VERY POOR HANDLING. I HOPE IT CAN BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. THANK YOU.

I BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, STOPPED THE TRUCK COMPLETELY, SHIFTED FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND AS SOON AS I TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL I HERD A LOUD POP AND THEN VIOLENT GRINDING. I SHIFTED MY TRUCK TO 4X4 TO PULL IT OFF THE ROAD WHERE IT IS STILL JUST SETTING WAITING TO BE REPAIRED. *TR

WE TOOK THE TITAN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL SERVICE AND GENERAL SERVICE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR THAT WAS ON RECALL NOTICE IS NOT COVERED ON OUR PARTICULAR VIN. INTERESTING THAT THE $110 DIAGNOSTIC TEST I WAS CHARGED FOR SHOWED THAT SENSOR HAS FAILED, BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER MY VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL. BY LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, I CAN SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY CONSUMER AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. MAKES ME WONDER IF NISSAN IS ACTUALLY HONORING ANY OF THE RECALLS FOR THIS PARTICULAR REPAIR. INTERESTING THAT AFTER MY SERVICE DATE, I WAS CONTACTED BY A SALES REPRESENTATIVE WITH THE SAME DEALERSHIP ASKING IF I WOULD CONSIDER BRINGING IN MY 2005 TITAN FOR A TRADE-IN OPPORTUNITY. I DON'T WANT A NEW CAR, I WANT THIS ONE REPAIRED WITH THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE NATIONAL OFFICE AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND THE INDIVIDUAL HANDLING THE CASE ALSO DECLINED MY REQUEST FOR REPAIR. ON THAT SAME CALL, I WAS ASKED HOW MANY NISSAN VEHICLES I OWN AND IF I WOULD CONSIDER BUYING A NISSAN IN THE FUTURE. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS RECALL, I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER NISSAN. NOR WILL I RECOMMEND NISSAN TO ANYONE WHO ASKED WHAT OUR EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY AND NEEDED FUEL IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE READ A QUARTER TANK FULL. AS A RESULT, THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENDER UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

WHEN I PUT VEHICLE IN DRIVE, IT WOULD ONLY GO IN REVERSE. I DISCOVERED THE LINKAGE FROM THE GEARSHIFT LEVER TO THE CABLE HAD SEPARATED. THE PLASTIC RETAINING RING ON THE SHIFT CABLE HAD BROKEN TO PIECES AND LEFT NOTHING TO HOLD THE CABLE TO THE SHIFT LEVER. THIS IS POTENTIALLY EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS A DRIVER COULD MOVE LEVER TO PARK AND THINK HE IS ACTUALLY IN PARK WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED. SOMEONE GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS STILL RUNNING WILL THEN HAVE A RUNAWAY VEHICLE. LOCAL NISSAN DEALER HAD NO REPLACEMENT PART. I INSTALLED A RETAINING RING AND CLIP. THE FIX COSTS PENNIES AND JUST A FEW MINUTES TIME. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, MY ENGINE STALLED. I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER TO MY TRUCK, WITH NO ERROR CODES, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAD TO PLACE MY TRUCK IN NEUTRAL WHILE AT SPEED IN TRAFFIC IN THE LEFT LANE AND COAST TO A SAFE LOCATION ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER. DURING THIS TIME, I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. AFTER I SAFELY STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER, I TRIED TO RESTART MY ENGINE. MY ENGINE WOULD NOT START. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, MY TRUCK HAD INTERMITTENTLY STALLED WHILE STOPPED, WITH AN ERROR CODE THAT POINTED TO AN INEFFECTIVE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAD MY MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR REPLACED, MY ECM RELAY REPLACED, AND MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED, AT A COST OF ~ $5000 TOTAL. I AM NOW TOLD THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE IS LIKELY THE CULPRIT FOR ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS, WHICH WILL COST ME ANOTHER $700 TO REPLACE. IN RESEARCHING PREVIOUS RECALLS, THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL FOR THE ECM RELAY, BUT NOT THE IPDM MODULE. IT APPEARS IN OTHER TITAN FORUMS THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED FROM THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

AS I WAS REVERSING TO BACK OUT A PARKING SPOT I FELT A HARD THUD LOOKED UNDER AND AROUND TRUCK DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING IT STARTED SNOWING AND I HAD TO USE MY 4WHEEL DRIVE AND IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE THE INDICATOR SAID IT WAS IN 4WHEEL DRIVE BUT THE FRONT WHEELS WOULD NOT TURN TOOK IT A TRANSMISSION SHOP THEY TOLD ME MY LEFT FRONT AXLE POPPED OUT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TITAN I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND THE SAME WAY MY TRUCK AXLE POPPED OUT AND SAME SIDE CALLED NISSAN AND THEY WONT FIX THIS PROBLEM ITS VERY COSTLY AND DANGEROUS SOME PEOPLE FRONT DIFF BLEW APART I THINK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE A RECALL OR SOMETHING IT CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE BRAKES AND STEERING SEIZED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES IN A FIVE MILE SPAN AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE ECM UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V517000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

THIS IS THE SECOND DIFFERENTIAL PUT INTO TRUCK SINCE JULY 2014. THE FIRST ONE WAS WITHIN 30 DAYS OF PURCHASE AT 65,000 AND THE SECOND ONE AT 80,000 COSTING $3800.00. THE TRUCK IS BACK IN FOR REPAIR WITHIN 5 DAYS SINCE AND BACK BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WAITING TO HEAR FROM MECHANIC. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN WHICH I PURCHASED USED AT 23,000 MILES. TWO YEARS AGO (2013) I HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE U-JOINTS FAILED WHICH COST $1400 DOLLARS. NOW, MARCH 2015, I AGAIN HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. I FOUND THAT THE RIGHT AXLE HAD POPPED OUT. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED WHICH COST $2300 DOLLARS. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT BOTH OF THESE INCIDENTS COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO CRASH AND THAT I WAS LUCKY. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE (FUEL PUMP, BRAKES, EXHAUST SYSTEM). I WAS ALSO CONTACTED BY AN ATTORNEY WHO INFORMED ME THAT HE WAS CONDUCTING A LAW SUITE AND WANTED TO KNOW WHAT ISSUES I HAVE HAD. THE ATTORNEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A "LEMON" BY THE FIRST OWNER. *TR

WHILE PULLING OUR BOAT OUT FROM BOAT RAMP IN 4LO AND A LOUD NOISE CAME FROM DIFF. WHEN I ARRIVE HOME 25MIN LATER IN THE DRIVE WAY I NOTICED GEAR OIL FROM PASSENGER SIDE. UNDER TRUCK I NOTICED WHERE LEAK WAS COMING FROM AND PUSHED THE AXLE BACK AND IT STOPPED LEAKING. I DRAINED AND REMOVED SHAFT ASSEMBLY SIDE DIFF AND REPLACE SEAL AND REFILLED GEAR OIL. ON THE NEXT TRIP WE NOTICED GEAR OIL LEAK CAME HOME DID RESEARCH AND NOTICED THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM PURCHASED THE CIRCLIP THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT AFTER LAST NIGHT NOTICED THE SHAFT BROKE WHERE THE CIRCLIP WAS SUPPOSE TO BE. LOOKED DOWN THE DIFF HOUSING AND NOTICED THE OTHER PIECE OF THE SHAFT NUB STUCK INSIDE. ESTIMATE $2500 FOR DIFF REPLACEMENT TO 38500-8S112B OR $825 TO REPLACE SHAFT AND GEAR. 3RD TIME I'VE EVER USED 4 WHEEL DRIVE!!!! *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN. DOOR LATCH FAILURE DURING COLD WEATHER BELOW FREEZING. LIVE IN PA, SO TIME PERIOD OF THIS WEATHER IS DECEMBER - MARCH. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN, NOR CLOSE PROPERLY FROM INSIDE, OR OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE. HAD THIS PROBLEM LAST WEEK, WAS NOT ABLE TO GET BACK INTO VEHICLE FOR 10MIN . YESTERDAY DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY DOOR OPENED UNEXPECTEDLY AND PASSENGER NEARLY FELL OUT OF VEHICLE. NO ONE INJURED, HOWEVER YOU CAN IMAGINE THE EXPERIENCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I MUST DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH A RATCHET STRAP FROM ONE DOOR TO THE OTHER TO KEEP THEM SHUT. THIS IS NOT SAFE BUT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE ISSUE AT THIS TIME. THERE IS A NISSAN TSB THAT THEY WILL REPLACE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM IF VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN USA: TBNS BX56AA / TSB 05118. HOWEVER IF VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY QUOTED ME AT $400+ PER DOOR X'S 4 DOORS. THIS IS UNREASONABLE AND A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MOST OF THE COUNTRY THAT EXPERIENCES WEATHER BELOW 32DEGREES F. IT IS A KNOWN FAILURE THAT NISSAN USA KNOWS ABOUT. THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATED RECALL. THERE WILL BE SEVERE LAWSUITS FILED IF ANOTHER PASSENGER, MY CHILD, OR MYSELF CANNOT GET INTO A VEHICLE, OR UNEXPECTEDLY FALLS OUT. BELOW ARE LINKS TO A NISSAN TITAN ONLINE FORUM WITH MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. FROZEN DOOR LATCH PROBLEM NOT SOLVED...PLEASE ADVISE WINTER PROBLEMS WITH TITAN FROM USA FROZEN DOOR HANDLES FROZEN DOORS WONT CLOSE WHEN COLD!! NISSAN NEW TSB FOR THE FROZEN DOOR HANDLES! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEED, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXHIBITING THE SAME FAILURES LISTED IN RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V517000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON A US HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIGOROUSLY SHAKE AND A LOUD CLANKING NOISE BEGAN FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LOUD BANGING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE AS IT CAME TO A STOP, I NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN OFF. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO LOAD THE VEHICLE ON A WRECKER, THE REAR WHEELS WOULDN'T ROLL. THE ENTIRE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND AXLE HAD SEIZED. *TR

THE OTHER DAY I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC FOR ALMOST 30 MIN STOPPED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING (LOTS OF CHRISTMAS TRAFFIC ON THE 5 SOUTH FREEWAY), I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK BECAUSE I NOTICE AN ACCIDENT. I HAD MY WINDOWS UP AND MY CABIN AIR ON. THEN A FEW MIN LATER I STARTED FEELING DIZZY ALMOST FAINTING. THE CAR NEXT TO ME SAW THAT I WAS STRUGGLING, CAME TO MY WINDOW AND ASKED ME IF I WAS OK. I ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOW AND HE NOTICED THE SMELL OF EXHAUST INSIDE MY TRUCK. AFTER MY HEADACHE WENT AWAY. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME BOTH OF MY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED AND THAT'S HOW THE EXHAUST WAS ENTERING NEAR THE FRONT CABIN. *TR

REAR SEAL COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING DIFFERENTIAL OIL TO SATURATE THE REAR BRAKES. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X2 SE. VEHICLE CAME WITH 2 MARONI LABELS SAME VIN NUMBER WITH DIFFERENT DEALER ADDRESSES DIFFERENT CODES, AND THE ONE HE PURCHASED DOESN'T MATCH NISSAN RECORDS. *TA

THERE IS A LEAK IN THE MANIFOLD THAT CAUSES EXHAUST TO LEAK INTO THE DRIVERS AREA OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY WHEN INCIDENT HAPPENED AND WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS OF THIS LEAK. *TR

FRONT AXLE POPPED OUT, CAUSING FLUIDS TO DRAIN. DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK STALLED AND LOST ALL POWER. AFTER GETTING TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY, THE TRUCK STILL HAD BATTERY POWER AND WANTED TO CRANK TO START BUT ACTED LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING GAS. AFTER CALLING AROUND WE DETERMINED THRU A NISSAN SERVICE ADVISOR THAT WE SHOULD TRY FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS, EVEN THOUGH I WAS TELLING HIM IT READ BETWEEN A QUARTER AND HALF A TANK. AFTER PUTTING IN 5 GALLONS AND TURNING THE KEY AND CRANKING IT A FEW SECONDS, IT STARTED RIGHT UP. IT HAS DONE THIS AT VARIOUS TIMES SINCE THIS FIRST OCCURRENCE AND CONTINUES TO VARY. I NOW HAVE TO KEEP NO LESS THAN HALF A TANK OF GAS AT ALL TIMES OR I WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND HAVE TO PULL OFF. NISSAN HAS A VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 2005-2009 ARMADA AND TITAN FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY, CAMPAIGN ID#R1010 & NHTSA#10V-074, BUT SAY THAT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN. I HAVE TRIED REPEATEDLY TO ASK NISSAN HOW THIS SAFETY CAMPAIGN DOES NOT AFFECT MY VEHICLE IF IT TOO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AS I'VE BEEN TOLD ITS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WHICH IS WHAT THIS RECALL CAMPAIGN COVERS. *TR

THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WHICH IT DOCUMENTED ON MANY ONLINE NISSAN TITAN / ARMADA FORUMS. THE FRONT AXLE HAS SEPARATED FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING CAUSING LOSS OF GEAR FLUID AND LACK OF DRIVEABILITY. *TR

FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HAS FAILED, SEVER CRACKING IN THE HOUSING. LOUD WHINE/GRUMBLE IS HEARD WHEN IN BOTH TWO WHEEL DRIVE AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. ALL LUBRICANTS HAVE BEEN SERVICED UNDER MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDATIONS. AFTER REVIEWING ONLINE, I SEE THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM FOR NISSAN TITANS. *TR

MY TRUCK STOPPED ONE SUNDAY I WAS SITTING AT THE RED LIGHT. I TRIED TO START IT BUT IT WOULDN'T START SO I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. ON MONDAY MORNING I GET A CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY TOLD ME MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF GAS. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD A LITTLE BIT OVER A QUARTER TANK OF GAS IN IT. HE TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK AFTER A COMPLETE CHECK. THEY CALLED BACK AND TOLD ME THAT MY TRUCK NEEDED A FUEL SENDER UNIT AND A FUEL RING, I TOLD THEM TO GO AHEAD AND REPAIR IT. ON TUESDAY I WENT AND PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT MY FUEL LEVELING SENSOR SHORTED OUT. I PAID A TOTAL OF 515.88 PLUS 65.00 FOR TOWING ON SOMETHING THAT HAD A RECALL ON IT. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY KNEW IT WAS UNDER RECALL OR NOT BUT I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF I PAID FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I HAVE MY RECEIPTS AND IT SHOWS THE DATES OF THE INCIDENT CAME AFTER THE RECALL DATES. *TR

I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER HOSES WERE LEAKING OIL ONTO THE GROUND. IF HOSE WERE TO BURST, THIS WOULD CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE OR ACCIDENT. NISSAN HAS A SEALED TRANSMISSION THAT DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO CHECK TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL. MUST BE TAKEN TO DEALER TO CHECK LEVEL. *TR

DEFECTIVE REAR AXLE/DIFFERENTIAL. I NOTICED THAT OIL WAS LEAKING AT BOTH HUBS OF THE REAR AXLE. DEALER SAID THAT ENTIRE REAR AXLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE DIFFERENTIAL HAS BEEN MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDATIONS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS THE AXLE COULD LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER INSPECTING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, AXLE FLUID WAS DISCOVERED LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE AXLE SEAL HAD RUPTURED CAUSING THE FLUID TO LEAK OUT. THE AXLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT AND ACCELERATING FROM 0-30MPH MY REAR END MADE A TERRIBLE BANGING NOISE AND I LOST POWER TO THE DRIVETRAIN. I SPENT $4500 TO REPLACE THE REAR END. THE ENTIRE REAR DIFFERENTIAL EXPLODED. I HAVE NEVER MISUSED THIS TRUCK AND ONLY TOW MY BOAT ABOUT 30 MILES 5-6 TIMES A YEAR. ALL FLUIDS ARE PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND WERE AT APPROPRIATE LEVELS WHEN THE SHOP REPAIRED. IN RESEARCHING ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT THE NISSAN TITAN HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IN A 2005 HAVING HIGH FAILURE RATES. *TR

REAR END GAVE OUT AT 5 MPH. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND THEN MY 3.6 FINAL DRIVELINE REAR END GAVE ME PROBLEMS SO FAR I HAVE SPENT OVER 4500.00 TO REPAIR TRANSMISSION AND SOLVE LEAKS TO MY VEHICLE NOW DEALER TELLS ME I NEED TO SPEND 3000.00 TO FIX THEIR DEFECT. *TR

DRIVER SIDE AXLE SHAFT POP OUT OF FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL NO LONGER WORKS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE CONTACT HEARD THE SOUND COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. THE DEALER STATED THAT TWO MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 177,100.

I WAS RIDING DOWN I25 WHEN MY TRUCK ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY QUIT. AT 75 MPH IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO CHANGE LANES AND PULL OVER TO THE MEDIAN WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED THAT I STILL HAD 1/4 TANK OF GAS. I TRIED REPEATEDLY TO START THE TRUCK WITHOUT SUCCESS. AFTER SCRATCHING MY HEAD FOR A WHILE I CALLED MY SON TO BRING ME SOME GAS. AFTER ADDING GAS THE TRUCK STARTED UP AFTER A FEW TURNS OF THE IGNITION. NOT KNOWING WHAT THE HECK HAD HAPPENED I CONTINUED DRIVING THE TRUCK. UNFORTUNATELY I RAN OUT OF GAS AGAIN SOME WEEK LATER, THIS TIME IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THE SPEED ISSUE WAS NOT QUITE AS SEVERE. SINCE THAT TIME I'VE IGNORED MY FUEL GAUGE AND DETERMINED WHEN TO REFUEL BY MILEAGE. THIS IS REALLY AGGRAVATING BECAUSE THERE IS A RECALL ON TITAN FUEL SENDERS FOR MODEL YEAR 2005. HOWEVER NISSAN IS TELLING ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED FUMES FROM THE EXHAUST IN THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE WAS 98,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BACK IN MAY OF 2011 I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN TITAN TRUCK DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY TWO GIRLS 6 & 7 YEAR OLD WHEN I HEARD THE TRUCK MAKING A NOISE OUT OF THE REAR .I SLOW DOWN AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD NOT KNOWING WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO MY HOME AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I TOOK MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN VINELAND NEW JERSEY THEY STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK WAS THE REAR AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY STATED THAT THE REPAIR COST FOR THE WHOLE REAR WAS $3,800 IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED. THEY STATED THAT MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 2 MONTHS EVEN THOUGH I ONLY HAD 38,836 MILES ON IT. I ASKED WHY COULDN'T THE PUMPKIN IN THE REAR BE FIXED AND NISSAN STATED THEY DO NOT JUST FIX THE PUMPKIN. THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR IN THE TRUCK COSTING ME $3,800.00. I CALLED [XXX] AND SPOKE TO [XXX]. [XXX] REP STATED THAT HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, PART (TT913A582) [XXX] POSI. [XXX] STATED TO ME THAT THEY MAKE THIS REAR FOR NISSAN. [XXX] STATED THAT NISSAN ENGINEERS, ENGINEER PART AND THEY ONLY MAKE IT FOR THEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL SHOP TO BE REPAIRED WHICH STATED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD COST ME $1,358.90. THE AUTO REPAIR CENTER THAT I TOOK MY NISSAN TITIAN TO, STATED THAT THERE WAS MANY MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE REARS IN THE NISSAN TITANS STARTING FROM 2005 TO 2010. IT WAS ACTUALLY BEING REPORTED ONLINE SEARCH. AS I LOOKED ONLINE I COULD SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE NISSAN TITAN REARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SO MY QUESTION TO THE GOVERNMENT SUPERVISOR PAID BY TAXPAYERS, DOES IT TAKE 30 PEOPLE TO DIE IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND BLAME IT ON NISSAN JUST LIKE YOU DID TO GM. FIX THE PROBLEM. SO GO ONLINE AND READ. TAKE MATTERS SERIOUSLY!! I EXTRICATE PEOPLE OUT OF VEHICLES FOR A LIVING WHEN THEY ARE IN CAR ACCIDENTS DEAD OR ALIVE.

NISSAN REPLACED THE ECU RELAY AND FRONT FAN THEY INSTALLED A JUMPER FUSE INTO THE IPDM AND NOW VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING NOW THE VEHICLE WONT EVEN TURN OVER. THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED NOW CHARGED WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION I GET ZERO RESPONSE FROM THE STARTER AS IF THE IPDM WAS BLOWN. THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING LIKE 10 - 20 WITHIN A 5 MI TRIP TO GET BACK HOME. *TR

EXHAUST FUMES IN CABIN DUE TO CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. I ONLY USE THE TRUCK FOR FAMILY TRIPS, AND ON THE LAST TRIP I NOTICES A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE, ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD, I ALSO NOTICED EXHAUST FUMES IN THE CABIN WHEN THE TRUCK WAS AT A LIGHT OR A LONG STOP SIGN. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THIS TRUCK AND AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN TITANS BUT THE WORST PART IS THAT THE REPLACEMENTS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, SO NOW I CAN NOT USE THIS VEHICLE. LOOKING TO SEE WHAT IS THE BEST PERMANENT SOLUTION. *TR

I FIRST FELT AND HEARD A LOUD CLANKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT. APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS LATER I FELT IT AGAIN WHILE ENTERING THE ON RAMP TO A FREEWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE REAR END OF MY TRUCK AND FOUND NO VISIBLE DAMAGE OR LEAKING OF FLUIDS. I GOT BACK IN MY TRUCK AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND IMMEDIATELY FELT AND HEARD THE CLANKING NOISE AGAIN. I THEN DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHICH FORTUNATELY WAS ONLY TWO MILES AWAY. THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID AN INSPECTION AND DETERMINE THE GEARS IN DIFFERENTIAL WERE BINDING. THE NISSAN TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHY A DIFFERENTIAL WITH ONLY 53,000 MILES THAT WAS MAINTAINED AS WELL AS MINE WAS WOULD FAIL. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS PERFORMED ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON MY TRUCK AND ARE WELL AWARE OF HOW WELL ITS MAINTAINED. THEY SUGGESTED ITS A DEFECT AND RECOMMENDED I SPEAK WITH NISSAN USA DIRECTLY IN HOPES OF THEM COVERING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE DIFFERENTIAL ON MY TRUCK. I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM NISSAN USA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE DEFECTIVE DIFFERENTIAL ITS NOT GOING TO BE COVERED. THE WORST PART IS THAT THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE DIFFERENTIAL. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR AXLE. THIS IS A COST OF (AXLE) $3500.00 +( LABOR) $1000.00. LETS NOT FORGET TAXES ALSO. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE DEFECTIVE DIFFERENTIALS AND IS COUNTING ON PEOPLE TO NOT MAKE THE EFFORT TO BRING THIS ISSUE TO LIGHT. PLEASE HELP MAKE A CHANGE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT BY THIS DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THERE WAS A CONSISTENT TICKING NOISE FROM DRIVE SHAFT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN FOR INSPECTION OR DIAGNOSIS. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

I STARTED TO FEEL A THUD IN THE REAR AXLE AS I TURNED THE VEHICLE. IF FELT LIKE THE AXLE WAS BINDING UP. ULTIMATELY, I TOOK IT TO NISSAN WHO SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE AXLE FOR $3000. SINCE THIS WAS WAY TO EXPENSIVE FOR A KNOW DEFECT, I HAD THE LOCKER REPLACED AT FOUR WHEEL PARTS. IT COST NEARLY $2500 WHEN ALL SAID AND DONE. *TR

STARTED HAVING OVER HEATING ISSUES IN 8/2012. EVENTUALLY HAD RADIATOR COMPLETELY REPLACED IN 2/14. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AROUND SAME TIME. ON 3/26/14, I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65MPH WHEN I LOST USE OF THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL, BARELY AVOIDING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. TODAY FOUND OUT THERE IS A DEFECT WITH NISSAN RADIATORS OVER HEATING AND CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION, DETERIORATING THE GEARS OVER TIME. SPENT AROUND $1,000.00 GETTING THE RADIATOR REPLACED UNAWARE OF THIS FACTORY DEFECT. NOW I AM WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING VEHICLE AND I THINK LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY, MY TITAN RAN OUT OF GAS WHILE THE GAUGE SHOWED 1/4 TANK, STRANDING MYSELF, MY PREGNANT WIFE AND 2YR OLD DAUGHTER IN A DANGEROUS AREA, AND IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET. I HAD TO GET OUT AND PUSH THE TRUCK TO A PARKING LOT. I THEN WALKED TWO MILES TO GET 2 GALLONS OF GAS, FORCED TO LEAVE MY FAMILY WITH THE STRANDED TRUCK(MY WIFE CAN'T WALK THAT FAR RIGHT NOW). I RETURNED, PUT THE 2 GALLONS IN THE TANK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I CALLED THE DEALER, WHICH GAVE ME A LOUSY EXCUSE AS TO WHY THOUSANDS OF THESE TRUCKS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS SAME ISSUE, EXCEPT MINE. THEY OFFERED TO GIVE ME A GREAT DEAL. 600 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR WHEN THE PART COSTS $77. THEN JUST LAST WEEK THE TRUCK RAN OUT OF GAS, THIS TIME ON THE FREEWAY, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH A SEMI TRUCK, WHILE SHOWING ALMOST 1/2 TANK. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THOUSANDS OF TITAN OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOT BEING COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I CONTACTED THE BAR AND AFTER THEIR INVESTIGATION, THE DEALER DISCLOSED THAT ALL TITANS WERE MADE WITH THE DEFECTIVE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, AND THAT THE DEALER WAS REPLACING THESE PARTS EVERY DAY, NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. TO SUM IT UP, I SPENT GOOD MONEY FOR A TRUCK THAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, WHICH IT IS NOT. I'M VERY SERIOUS I WAS ALMOST KILLED WHEN IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE OWNED A LOT OF VEHICLES, AND HAVE NEVER EVER HEARD OF SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE THAT ISN'T ADDRESSED BY RECALLS. BASICALLY THIS TRUCK IS A DEATH TRAP, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS, ALL BECAUSE NISSAN WILL NOT OWN UP TO THEIR FAULTY PARTS. IN FACT THEY ARE VERY DISRESPECTFUL, AND UNPROFESSIONAL WHEN TALKING TO THEM ABOUT IT. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN, KNOWING HOW UNSAFE THEY ARE AND THE WAY THEY TREAT THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS AFTER A PURCHASE. .... UPDATED 08/05/14 *BF *TR UPDATED 08/18/2014 *JS

OIL LEAKING ON LEFT REAR WHEEL CAUSE BY A BAD SEAL. TRUCK HAVE BEEN REPAIRED TWICE BY A LOCAL LICENSED SHOP, . THE PROBLEM PERSIST. IT MAY BE CAUSE BY A BAD DIFFERENTIAL. LET ME KNOW IF IS ANY RECALLS FROM FACTORY. OR ANY ON GOING INVESTIGATION. *TR

WHILE DOING A LIQUIDS CHECK I NOTICED THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS LOW. I ADDED DISTILLED WATER TO THE RADIATOR AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH TO LOOK FOR A LEAK. I FOUND COOLANT LEAKING FROM THE TRANSMISSION LINE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR. AS I BACKED INTO MY GARAGE, I HEARD THE COOLANT RESERVOIR PRESSURIZE AND START TO OVERFLOW. THE RESERVOIR WAS FILLED WITH TRANNY FLUID. I DRAINED THE TRANSMISSION AND FOUND COOLANT IN THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MILES I DROVE THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION BUT I'M AFRAID THE TRANSMISSION IS DAMAGED AND I CAN'T GET THE COOLANT COMPLETELY OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE DRAINED AND FILLED IT TWICE SO FAR AND STILL HAVE SIGNS OF COOLANT. I TALKED TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I KEEP DRAINING AND FLUSHING UNTIL THE TRANNY FLUID COMES OUT THE SAME COLOR AS IT WENT IN. *TR

THE DOOR HANDLES AND LOCKS BOTH FAIL TO WORK WHEN TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW AROUND 20 DEGREES. SOMETIMES THEY SIMPLY WONT OPEN, AND OTHER TIMES THEY WILL OPEN BUT WON'T LATCH WHEN THE DOOR SHUTS. THE DILEMMA IS USUALLY SIMPLY FRUSTRATING, HOWEVER SOMETIMES THEY SLIGHTLY LATCH AND APPEAR TO BE SHUT AND FULLY LATCHED, BUT THEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION THE DOOR WILL FLING OPEN ON A TURN. *TR

I RAN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THE FUEL GAUGE STATED I HAD MORE THAN A 1/4 OF A TANK OF FUEL LEFT. AFTER RESEARCHING AND DISCOVERING NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 10V074000 MANY 2005 NISSAN TITANS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS I ENCOUNTERED. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND DISCUSSED THIS WITH THEM. AFTER GIVING THEM MY VIN, THEY STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN FOR FALSE FUEL GAUGE READINGS OR OTHER ISSUES REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM IN MY VEHICLE. "RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC AND YOURS IS NOT LISTED." WELL, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE'S FUEL GAUGE AS WELL. I WOULD LIKE INFORMATION HOW TO GET MY VEHICLE'S VIN ADDED TO THE LIST OF MALFUNCTIONING FUEL GAUGE ISSUES AND HAVE IT REPLACED BY THE DEALER AS A WARRANTY ITEM, AS OTHERS HAVE DONE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH WHEN WITHOUT NOTICE, I RAN OUT OF GAS. WHEN MY VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS I WAS UNABLE TO USE MY BRAKES, STEERING WAS DIFFICULT AND IF THERE WAS TRAFFIC AHEAD I WOULD OF SURLY CRASHED. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED AND DISPLAYED A QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY.

MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS LEAKING JUST AS MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. I DID NOT NOTICE A NOISE ON MINE UNTIL I WENT IN TO A MUFFLER SHOP TO GET A PRICE ON GETTING A DUAL EXHAUST INSTALLED AND THEY SHOWED ME THAT IT WAS CRACKED. AS A RESULT, I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PROBLEM BEGAN, BUT I CAN HEAR IT CONSTANTLY NOW. I HAVE SINCE, DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH OVER THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF TITAN OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW OLD OR NEW THE TITAN IS, OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. SOME ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, SO THEY ARE GETTING A FREE REPAIR, BUT IF IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE, WHY HASN'T A RECALL ALREADY BEEN ISSUED? I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY MUFFLER SHOP TECH'S THAT THE "CAST" THAT NISSAN USED WAS A BAD "CAST" AND THEY HAVE SINCE FIXED IT. IF THE AFTERMARKET MUFFLER TECH KNOWS, THAN NISSAN CERTAINLY SHOULD...OR ELSE THEY SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF IT BY A RECALL BEING ISSUED. THANK YOU. *TR

RIGHT EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACK. EVERY FORUM ON TITAN'S COMPLAIN HOW THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACK AND LEAK WELL BEFORE THEIR TIME AND ALL BEEN UNDER 100K. IT TELLS ME NISSAN DOES A POOR JOB MAKING THAT PART AND IT'S A COSTLY JOB FOR CUSTOMERS TO REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. *TR

WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES TO START STOPPING, IT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT WAS GRABBING AND I REALLY HAD TO STAND ON THE PEDAL TO STOP BEFORE I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I GOT HOME, I LOOKED AT ALL MY BRAKES AND FOUND THAT THE REAR AXLE SEAL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS LEAKING. GREASE/OIL WAS ALL OVER THE REAR BRAKES. I HAVE HAD THE SEAL REPLACED 3 TIMES NOW. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE DEALER WANTS $1800 TO DO IT AGAIN!! WE NEED A RECALL. *TR

I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF SOME SORT OF RECALL ON THE NISSAN TITAN PICK UP CAN BE LOOKED INTO REGARDING A REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK. IT APPEARS THAT MANY OF THE VEHICLE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING A SIMILAR PROBLEM COSTING CONSUMERS NEARLY $300-$500 IN REAR/REPLACEMENT OF A $15 SEAL. DUE TO THE INTRICATE REPAIR, MANY DO IT YOURSELFERS ARE UNABLE TO PERFORM THIS REPAIR. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH. HAD TO HAVE COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF REAR END AT COST OF $3000. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF SAME ISSUE. APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. NISSAN DOES NOT ALLOW REPLACEMENT OF PARTS ONLY REPLACEMENT OF WHOLE REAR END UNIT. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION WON'T GO INTO THE LOWER GEARS AND IT REVS AT A HIGH RPM AND WON'T SHIFT. I HAVE SEEN WHERE THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION DUE TO A COOLANT THAT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND HE SAYS THERE IS HELP OUT THERE FOR FRONTIER AND SOME OTHERS BUT THE TITAN ISN'T PROTECTED. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THERE ARE A LOT OF TITAN OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING/HAD THIS TROUBLE THAT HAVE THE SAME MODEL AS MYSELF. *TR

FRONT DIFFERENTIAL STARTED MAKING NOISE, WHEN MECHANICS OPENED IT, THEY SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO REBUILD AND I NEED A BRAND NEW ASSEMBLY. (TOO MUCH INTERNAL DAMAGE.) FOR THE MILEAGE THIS TRUCK HAS, THIS PART FAILED WAY TO EARLY. MECHANIC SAID IT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF ITS POOR DESIGN. NOW TRUCK HAS 60,000 MILES AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL STARTED TO LEAK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

WHILE MOVING FORWARD FROM PARK, THE REAR TIRES LOCKED UP. I REVERSED AND THEN MOVED FORWARD TO TRY TO FREE THE TIRES. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS OFF. IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES OF SHIFTING GEARS BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE FREELY. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY TRACED THE CAUSE TO THE REAR EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS DISLODGING FROM THE HUB AND BECOMING LODGED IN THE REAR ROTOR. MY MECHANIC REMOVED THE REAR ROTOR ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS FELL OUT. THE LEFT SIDE PADS WERE STILL MOUNTED BUT WITH ONE POKE WITH A SCREWDRIVER, THE PADS FELL OUT. ONE YOUTUBE VIDEO SHOWS A TITAN WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT ADDITIONALLY THE BRAKE PAD BROKE THE REAR CALIPER BRACKET. *TR

1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 25MPH WHEN MY TITAN STARTED TO STALL AND THEN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, WAS JUST ABOUT REAR-END BY DELIVERY TRUCK. I WAS STUCK ON THE STREET IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC FOR 2 HOURS BEFORE A TOW TRUCK WAS ABLE TO COME TOW TRUCK. I HAD MECHANIC LOOK IT OVER AND IT CAME OUT THAT I HAD RUN OUT OF GAS, MECHANIC LOOKED AT FUEL GAUGE AND IT WAS READING OF TANK BUT WOULD NOT START. ONCE COUPLE GALLONS WERE ADDED TRUCK STARTED RIGHT UP. MECHANIC STATED THAT FUEL GAUGE IS READING WRONG, MECHANIC LOOKED UP TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY RECALLS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2005 NISSAN TITAN FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM NOT READING CORRECTLY. BUT DEALER STATED THAT MY VIN NUMBER DIDN'T FALL INTO THAT RECALL. MECHANIC STATED IT WOULD BE OVER $900 TO FIX. SO I HAD TO TELL THE MECHANIC NOT TO FIX IT. OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS ABOUT 3 MORE TIMES DUE TO THE FUEL GAUGE NOT READING CORRECTLY. LAST TIME I RAN OUT OF GAS MY INFANT SON WAS IN TRUCK AND WAS JUST ABOUT SIDE SWIPED FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE AT AN INTERSECTION. I NEED TO DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO GET MY NISSAN TITAN ADDED TO THIS RECALL, I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THIS TO BE FIXED. RECALL ID #68299 ? FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER: STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM. *TR

I TOOK MY TRUCK TO AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY NOTICE THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS LEAKING OIL ON THE RIGHT SIDE THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SEALS ARE BROKEN SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO BE FIXED.

I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL (AT KELLY NISSAN OF LYNNFIELD MA), NOT KNOWING THIS AND THEY SIMPLY TAPED THE WIRING HARNESSES AFTER INSPECTION AND RECORDED THE RECALL SERVICED ON THE NISSAN TITAN AND MOST LIKELY CHARGED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA FOR PARTS AND LABOR FOR A HARNESS REPLACEMENT. AT 65,000 MILES I STARTED TO GET THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD FLASHING CONSTANTLY. I RESEARCHED THE FLASHING CODE FROM THE SENSOR AND IT TURNS OUT TO BE RELATED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE WIRING HARNESS. AS RECENTLY AS 2 WEEKS AGO I RECEIVED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE FROM NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA WHICH CLEARLY STATED THIS TIME " IF THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LAMP IS ILLUMINATED - PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY FOR REPAIRS" , AFTER SCHEDULING ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE ORIGINAL RECALL AND BRINGING THE VEHICLE IN THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE AND THE WAS NO OTHER ACTION THAT COULD BE PERFORMED WITHOUT A CHARGE TO ME. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AS I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT IF A VEHICLE HAS A RECALL AND PARTS ARE REPLACED THAT THE SAME FAILURE WILL OCCUR WITH THE REPLACED PARTS, HENCE MY CONCLUSION THAT THE ACTUAL WORK WAS NEVER PERFORMED ONLY RECORDED AS SUCH AGAINST THE VEHICLES (VIN). ANY HELP YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

RIGHT AND LEFT REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING. COMMON PROBLEM, EXPENSIVE TO FIX! I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED LEFT REAR SEAL ONCE AT 50,000 MILES. NOW BOTH ARE LEAKING AT 77,000 MILES! *TR

FRONT DRIVE AXEL CAME OUT OF DIFFERENTIAL WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON SLICK ROAD CAUSING SUDDEN LOSS OF FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND LOSS OF TRACTION. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, ONCE IN 2008 AND AGAIN IN 2013. *TR

VEHICLE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON BOTH SIDES CRACKED. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKS. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON NISSAN TITANS ARE DEFECTIVE. IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT THE MAJORITY OF OWNERS OF TITANS HAVE, HAD OR WILL HAVE THE ISSUE OF A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS AN EXHAUST LEAK COULD INTRODUCE CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE CABIN AREA WITH IS LETHAL. THERE ARE FORUMS THAT THIS ISSUE IS DISCUSSED WELL IN DETAIL REQUIRING THE OWNER TO FOOT THE BILL FOR REPLACEMENT AT A PRICE AROUND $2500.00. IF YOU CONTACT NISSAN, THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS A DEFECT, EXCEPT IN REALITY THEY KNOW BECAUSE THEY HAVE MADE SUBSEQUENT CHANGES ON NEWER MODELS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR EARLIER MODELS. YOU WILL NOT KNOW IF CARBON MONOXIDE HAS ENTERED THE CABIN AND COULD KILL YOU IN MINUTES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED IN ORDER TO SAVE LIVES AND MAKE NISSAN RESPONSIBLE FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. THIS APPLIES NOT ONLY TO TITANS, BUT ARMADAS AS WELL. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD DEVELOPED A CRACK AND LEAKS EXHAUST FUMES. WE HAD THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES COMPLAINING OF AN EXHAUST LEAK; HOWEVER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED THEY COULD NOT LOCATE ANY LEAKS. WE HAD A FAMILY MEMBER, WHO IS A MECHANIC, LOOK AT THE TRUCK RECENTLY AND HE LOCATED THE CRACK IN THE UNDERSIDE OF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS CONDITION COULD LEAK EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

A-ARM BROKE TIRE RIPPED IN TO SIDE OF TRUCK

CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS BOTH SIDES. NOTICED IT AROUND 60000 MILES. VEHICLE PURCHASED FROM DENNIS DILLON NISSAN BOISE IDAHO. DEALER HAS BEEN NO HELP AS OF YET EVEN THOUGH THE CATALYTIC SYSTEM HAS A 8/80 WARRANTY . *TR

NISSAN TITAN LE 2005 4X4. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. THE REAR SEAL FAILED AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE RING & PINION GEARS. THE REAR END SMELLS BURNED AND LEAKED FLUID ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE. UPON DOING RESEARCH OF THE NISSAN TITAN TRUCK, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM OF THE REAR ENDS FAILING. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THEY HAVE BEEN SELECTIVE REGARDING REPAIRS. THEY SOMETIMES FIX OUT OF WARRANTY FAILURES THOUGH THERE ARE MANY TRUCKS BOTH UNDER WARRANTY AND OUT OF WARRANTY WITH FAILING REAR ENDS. *TR

PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE DEFECTIVE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS FOR THE NISSAN TITANS. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A WARRANTY UP TO 80000 MILES BUT MY TRUCK IS OVER THAT MILEAGE. THIS IS A KNOWN FACTORY DEFECT THAT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO EXHAUST LEAKAGE. *TR

FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AXLE POPPED OUT OF DIFFERENTIAL AND BEGAN LEAKING. PROBLEM OCCURRED WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL INTO A DRIVEWAY. HAVE READ SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND THE PROBLEM WELL KNOWN WITH THE MANUFACTURER. PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED. *TR

AFTER HAVING IPDM MODULE REPLACED (CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V517000), THE SES LIGHT SHOWED BAD CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES. THE IPDM MODULE FAILED BEFORE BEING REPLACED AND IT CAUSED RAW FUEL TO BE DUMPED ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WHICH CAUSED THEM TO FAIL. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF FAILED CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WHEN THEIR FAULTY PART CAUSED THE DAMAGE. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR ($2,800). AFTER LOOKING AT FORUMS ON THE INTERNET, I SEE MANY PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TITAN CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND HAVING THEM FAIL BEFORE THE VEHICLE REACHES 100K MILES. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIR. THEY SAID THE FAULTY IPDM WOULD NOT CAUSE CATS TO FAIL. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. ON THANKSGIVING EVENING MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING HOME ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A CLUNK AND LOST ACCELERATION. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO CROSS 3 LANES TO TRY AND GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER. WE NEARLY GOT HIT BY MANY PASSING CARS DUE TO THE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AND SLOWING OF MY TRUCK. AFTER FINALLY TOWING THE TRUCK TO THE SHOP I FOUND OUT THAT, FOR THE SECOND TIME, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT 75000 MILES AND THE SECOND AT 125000 MILES. BOTH TIMES I AM STUCK FOOTING THE BILL. NEEDLESS TO SAY MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION IS STILL SITTING BROKEN UNTIL I AM ABLE TO PAY THE 3500 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. *TR

(1ST)THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE FROZE AND I WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK DOOR TO GET OUT. (2ND) WHILE DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACKSEAT OF TRUCK DOOR DIDN'T LATCH AND FLEW OPEN IN ROUTE TO SCHOOL (3RD)DRIVERS DOOR AGAIN OPENED THEN WOULD NOT LATCH HAD TO WAIT TILL IT THAWED OUT. *TR

TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND TOLD THEM THAT MY MANUAL SHIFTER WAS INTERMITTENT. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. BUT WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS NOT WORKING. IT FINALLY STOP WORKING AT ALL. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND A BROKEN GROUND WIRE. THE COST OF THE PART 413.00 LABOR 375.00. I DID NOT GET IT REPAIRED BECAUSE OF THE COST. I WENT ONLINE AND RESEARCHED IT AND FOUND IT FOR 253.00 AND PUTTING IT IN WOULD BE EASY FOR MYSELF. AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS ON RESEARCH ON HOW TO INSTALL THIS, I CAME ACROSS SEVERAL SECTIONS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. COME TO FIND OUT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. BEING THAT OVER TIME SHIFTING GEARS MADE THE WIRES BREAK. HOW IS IT THAT CERTIFIED REPAIR CENTERS DON'T KEEP UP ON THESE PROBLEMS. I SPENT A LOT OF TIME GOING BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP. AND WHY ISN'T NISSAN COVERING THE PROBLEM. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN FOR THIS AND HAS MADE ME CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT MY NEXT VEHICLE PURCHASE. *TR

TRUCK IN MID 50'S RANDOMLY STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND WILL NOT RESTART. ALL SYMPTOMS IDENTICAL TO EVERY OTHER OF THE MANY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF ECM/IPDM FAILURE. NISSAN CLAIMS RELAY FOR RECALL WAS CHANGED IN 2011, THAT WE HAVE NO OPEN RECALL AND NO OTHER RECOURSE OTHER THAN TO CALL NISSAN AMERICA--EVEN FOR JUST A REPLACEMENT RELAY THAT COSTS THEM PENNIES. NISSAN AMERICA SAYS THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP MUST RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THESE HUGE TRUCKS ARE STALLING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED MY LOCAL DEALER TO CHECK FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THEY KEPT MY TRUCK FOR A WEEK AND CHANGED THE BATTERY TERMINALS--FOR $400 INSTEAD OF CHECKING THE $4.00 RELAY. THAT'S RETAIL--IT COSTS THEM ABOUT A QUARTER. EVEN WITH THE .3 HOURS OF LABOR, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER $90 FOR ME AT FULL RETAIL. INSTEAD, I STALLED AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEED 3 WEEKS LATER. I DO NOT BELIEVE FOR A MINUTE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NO DEATHS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. HOW HAS THERE NOT BEEN A FULL INVESTIGATION AND NEWS REPORTS OF THIS FREQUENTLY REPORTED PROBLEM? *TR

THE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN FREEZE EVERY TIME THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW FREEZING . I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST ! I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FOR SAFE WINTER DRIVING BUT WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW FREEZING THE DOOR HANDLE FREEZES UP AND WONT OPEN . IF YOU DO MANAGE TO SOMEHOW GET THE DOOR OPEN YOU CAN NOT CLOSE IT AGAIN UNTIL IT THAWS OUT . MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER BOTH USE THIS VEHICLE AND I CONSIDER THIS AN UNSAFE ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO READ MANY FORUMS PERTAINING TO THIS PROBLEM AND AM WONDERING WHY THIS HAS NOT BECOME A RECALL. *TR

ON NOVEMBER 30, 2010 WHILE DRIVING MY SON TO SCHOOL MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED-UP AND THE RACK & PINION LEAKED ALL THE OIL AND THE TRUCK WAS TOTALLY DISABLED. ALSO JULY 30, 2011(MILEAGE 28830) IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE GOING ON VACATION WITH MY FAMILY TO LOS ANGELES. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I HEARD SOME VIBRATION ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE STEERING TOTALLY DISENGAGED FROM THE RACK & PINION. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO STEER THE WHEEL AT ALL THAT WE HAD TO STOP AND GET HELP. ALSO DECEMBER 29, 2012 (MILEAGE 33323) IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE PULLING THE TRUCK OUT OF MY GARAGE, THIS TIME IT LEAKED ALL THE OIL FROM THE RACK & PINION AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY STIFF TO DRIVE. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE SOMEBODY CAN GET BADLY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE IT'S REALLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK. FUTURE NISSAN WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK WILL NOT HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE & ARE DENYING TO FIX MY TRUCK AGAIN BECAUSE THEY ARE SAYING IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS MATTER. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE STARTED EXHIBITING A CLICKING SOUND AND FELT AS IT WERE ATTEMPTING TO SEIZE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DRIVE KNUCKLE THAT WAS WITHIN THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT REPLACE PARTS ON THE DIFFERENTIAL AND THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE AN ENTIRE REAR END FOR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN IS EXHIBITING THE FAILURES AS OUTLINED IN NISSAN NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 06V459000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM / WIRING HARNESS) AND NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM / FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). AFTER REPORTING MY ISSUES TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, I WAS TOLD MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN EITHER RECALL CAMPAIGN. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS FINALLY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND TOLD ME TO HAVE MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER DIAGNOSE THE TRUCK AND PROVIDE THE WRITTEN DIAGNOSIS AND COST ESTIMATE TO A NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS SPECIALIST. AFTER PAYING $85 FOR A DIAGNOSIS, THE LOCAL DEALER CONFIRMED IN A WRITTEN DIAGNOSIS AND ESTIMATE, THAT MY TRUCK WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURES THAT THE 2 RECALLS CITE AND THAT MY TRUCK NEEDED THE SAME REMEDIES AS OUTLINED IN THE RECALLS. AFTER PROVIDING THIS INFORMATION TO THE NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS SPECIALIST, NISSAN DECLINED TO COVER MY REPAIRS STATING THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED, I DID NOT HAVE A COMPLETE HISTORY OF NISSAN SERVICING MY VEHICLE AND THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE THE LIMITED WARRANTY TERM. I KNEW MY TRUCK WAS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY TERM, MY TRUCK NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN, WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WARRANTY. NISSAN IS NEGLIGENT IN NOT INCLUDING MY TRUCK IN THE RECALL. I HAVE SEEN THIS SAME COMPLAINT FROM NUMEROUS OTHERS IN MY SAME SITUATION, ON THIS WEBSITE AND OTHER ONLINE FORUMS. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED AS THEY OBVIOUSLY ARE NOT COVERING ALL VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THE FAILURES CITED. *TR

LOUD EXHAUST SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT, ON BOTH SIDES FOR THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. DUE TO A CRACKED MANIFOLD. I COULD ALSO SMELL EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE. I KEEP THE WINDOW CRACKED OPEN WHEN I DRIVE FOR SAFETY REASONS, MOSTLY WHEN I HAVE MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

AXLE SEAL FAILURE RESULTING IN OIL ON THE INSIDE OF BOTH REAR WHEELS AND OIL SOAKING REAR BRAKES RENDERING REAR BRAKES USELESS. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME, FROM AN ERRAND. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RUN IRREGULARLY, THEN SHUT OFF. AT FIRST I DID NOT THINK I WAS OUR OF GAS BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS 1/4 TANK OF GAS. AFTER I TRIED A FEW TIMES AND FAILED TO GET IT STARTED I WALKED TO A GAS STATION AND GOT GAS, PUT IT IN THE TANK AND MY VEHICLE STARTED. AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A WIDE DRIVEWAY AND AVOID BEING REAR ENDED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THE FUEL TANK AS BEING ONE QUARTER TANK FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED AND WAS PROVIDING INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 137,405.

THE REAR END WAS REPLACED BEFORE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND JUST 3 YEARS LATER I HAD TO HAVE THE LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL REPLACED AND NOW IM HAVING TO REPLACE THE RIGHT SIDE AXLE SEAL. IM NOT TOO SURE THAT ITS NOT DAMAGED THE REAR END ITSELF. I HAD A CASE NUMBER WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA BUT BECAUSE OF THE TIME ITS BEEN OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WONT REPLACE ANYTHING. THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIRS FOR THERE NOT TO BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT. THESE SEALS SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT THAT QUICK. *TR

RADIATOR BEGAN LEAKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CRACKS/SEPARATION OF PLASTIC COMPONENTS. *TR

ORIGINALLY HEARD A LIGHT NOISE ON DECELERATION. WAS UNSURE OF ORIGIN OR SEVERITY BUT SUSPECTED BRAKE WEAR. NOISE CHANGED OVER THE COURSE OF A MONTH AND ON FINAL TRIP INTO NEARBY SHOP FOR DIAGNOSTICS IT HAD GROWN MUCH LOUDER WHILE DECELERATING. SHOP SUSPECTED REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK AND DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. HAD TRUCK FLATBED TOWED TO NEARBY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND LITTLE EVIDENCE OF LEAK AND PLENTY OF FLUID. YET THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED ENTIRELY. THEY SUSPECTED A RING AND PINION FAILURE THOUGH THEY DIDN'T CRACK OPEN THE CASE AS PARTS/LABOR MAKE REPAIR PROHIBITIVELY COSTLY. AFTER CHECKING SALVAGE PRICES THEY RECOMMENDED A FULL REPLACEMENT WITH A NEW NISSAN AXLE. I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE APPARENTLY THIS KIND OF DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE CAN LOCK UP THE REAR WHEELS WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS TRUCK IS PRIMARILY DRIVEN AROUND TOWN. IT'S NEVER DRIVEN OFF-ROAD AND NEVER TOWED ANYTHING NOR CARRIED LARGE LOADS - IT'S BEEN BABIED. SEALS AND DIFFERENTIALS SHOULD NOT PREMATURELY FAIL IN A LIGHTLY DRIVEN, WELL-MAINTAINED VEHICLE WHICH WAS DESIGNED AND PROMOTED FOR HEAVY DUTY USE. *TR

REAR AXEL SEAL IS LEAKING FOR THE THIRD TIME, WHICH CAN COMPROMISE THE REAR BRAKES WITH AXEL FLUID. NISSAN MADE THE FIRST REPAIR AT 30,000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY. I PAID FOR PARTS AND MADE REPAIRS MYSELF THE SECOND TIME. NOW AT THE THIRD I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AND THEY HAVE REFUSED, WITH NO EXPLANATION, TO HELP WITH THIS REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH THEY ISSUED AN INTERNAL SERVICE BULLETIN IN 2010, TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE AXEL WITH BEARING AND SEAL. SO NISSAN IS AWARE THAT THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE EARLY MODEL TITANS. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE BEFORE THEY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

LEFT SIDE REAR WHEEL, AXLE SEAL LEAKING ONTO BRAKE DISC. DIAGNOSED WHEN I HAD NEW TIRES INSTALLED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK HOME FROM WORK,I NOTICED THE SOUND OF THE EXHAUST BECAME PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER. I PARKED THE TRUCK FOR THE NIGHT. PRIOR TO LEAVING THE NEXT MORNING I TRIED TO LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE INCREASED NOISE. HOWEVER, I NOTICED AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE THE NOISED WOULD DECREASE. THEREFORE, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. HE TOLD ME THAT THE HEADER ON ONE SIDE IS CRACKED AND THE OTHER HEADER ON THE OTHER-SIDE SHOWS SIGNS OF STRESS. ALSO, HE EXPLAINED THIS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN TITAN AND I MIGHT WANT TO EXPLORE MY REPAIR OPTION WITH THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, AFTER DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE NOTORIOUS ISSUE AND THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. UPON HEARING THIS, I DECIDE I WOULD LODGE MY COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE HERE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF RADIATOR FLUID INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. HE ALSO NOTICED A CONSTANT LEAK OF FLUID FROM THE RADIATOR WHICH FORMED A LARGE PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THREE TIMES WHERE THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED EACH TIME. MOST RECENT THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE.

THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE PADS FELL OF THE SHOES INSIDE THE REAR DISK DRUM, AND WEDGED INSIDE CAUSING THE REAR TIRE TO LOCKUP, FOR A SECOND, AND CAUSE THE TRUCK TO JERK AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHAUSTS MANIFOLD CRACKED DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIAL AND CAUSED THE FUMES TO PENETRATE THE VEHICLE INTERIOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL TICKING SOUND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TICKING SOUND WOULD CEASE AFTER THE ENGINE BECAME WARM. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER DID NOT STATE WHAT CAUSED THE MANIFOLD TO CRACK. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT STARTED SPUTTERING AND RAN OUT OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THERE WAS A RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER: STORAGE: FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER HAVING THE RECALL REPAIRS PERFORMED, STRONG FUMES CONTINUED TO EMIT IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE PASS 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER IN THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITHIN THE WEEK TO REPAIR THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE FUEL LEVEL SENDER AND THE ECM RELAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

PRIOR TO LEAVING FOR A TRIP I STOPED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM INFORMED ME THAT THE EXHAUST WAS BROKEN DUE TO RUST I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH DRIVING IT TO NC FROM CT ON THE WAY BACK FROM NC THE TRAILER LIGHTS FAILED AND I STARTED RECEIVING SLIP ABS BRAKE AND 4WD LIGHTS ON MY DASH. I RETURN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE EXHAUST HAD MELTED THE WIRING HARNESS WHERE IT HAD BROKE/RUSTED. I SPOKE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WHERE THE WIRING HARNESS WOULD MELT WHEN THE EXHAUST BRAKES/RUSTS... I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THEY HAD SEEN SOME WHERE THE WHOLE TAIL LAMP HAD MELTED. *TR

THE VEHICLE BRAKING BEGAN TO DETERIORATE SO I CHECKED EACH WHEEL, FRONT AND BACK. WHILE INSPECTING THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS I NOTICED OIL ON BOTH. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I NOTICED THAT THE REAR AXLE SEAL ON BOTH SIDES WAS LEAKING OIL AND IT HAD GOTTEN ON THE ROTORS AND PADS. I REPLACED BOTH ROTORS AND ALL PADS ON THE REAR, AND INSPECTED THE REAR AXLE VENT WHICH I FOUND PLUGGED. I INSTALLED A NEW VENT BUT THE REAR AXLE SEALS ARE STILL LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. IN DOING RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM I FOUND IT TO BE COMMON ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TRAVELING AT 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS. THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS BETWEEN 1/4 AND 1/8 OF A TANK REMAINING AND THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT HAD NOT COME ON. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. UPON ADDING 1.5 GALLONS OF FUEL THE VEHICLE RE-STARTED ON THE FIRST TRY SO IT WAS DEFINITELY OUT OF GAS. NISSAN HAS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY ISSUE BUT I WAS TOLD IT DOES NOT COVER MY VIN# ALTHOUGH IT IS FOR SOME VEHICLES OF MY MAKE AND MODEL YEAR. I PAID TO HAVE THE FUEL SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK REPAIRED AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY IMMEDIATELY AND HAS NOT RESURFACED. NISSAN MAY NEED TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL AS MY VEHICLE DEFINITELY EXPERIENCED THE SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSE THAT THE FUEL SENDER UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,000.....UPDATED 10/11/12 *BF UPDATED 10/16/12

REAR DIFFERENTIAL SPIDER GEARS BROKE APART, LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER TO DRIVE TRAIN OR ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG HEARD FROM THE TRANSMISSION AS THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE OVERDRIVE AND THIRD GEARS WOULD NOT OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000. UPDATED 9/13/12 *CN

REAR RIGHT AXLE SEAL BEGAN TO LEAK ON 5/14/12 WAS ABOUT TO GET FIXED -KEPT DIFF FULL- (SECOND TIME HAPPENED)... ON 7/27/12 REAR SPIDER GEARS BROKE CAUSING THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL TO DRAG ACROSS THE PAVEMENT IN A PARKING LOT. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH 04-07 OFFROAD TITANS WITH THE LOCKING REAR DIFF. IF THIS FAILURE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE REAR WHEELS WERE TO HAVE STOPPED MOVING IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. NISSAN HAS SINCE REDESIGNED THE REAR END BUT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

GOT IN MY TRUCK TO GO TO WORK TODAY AND WHILE TURNING RIGHT OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND I WAS GOING NO WHERE. I LET OFF THE GAS AND AS THE MOTOR RPM CAME DOWN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND THE VEHICLE JUMPED FORWARD. CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 200FT AND TURNED AROUND. PARKED THE TRUCK. CHECKED THE FLUID. METAL SHAVINGS AND CHUNKS INSIDE WITH PLENTY OF FLUID. ALSO NOTICED A LEAKING REAR WHEEL SEAL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 78000 MILES ON IT. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE NISSAN. *TR

WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT FELT A BUMP LIKE SOMETHING HAD BEEN RUN OVER.DROVE HOME AND FELT BUMP SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHEN TURNING LEFT ONLY. REMOVED FILL PLUG AND SAW PIECES ON METAL ON DRAIN PLUG MAGNET. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD AXLE HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.VEHICLE GAVE NO WARNING SIGNS AND HAD ALL SCHEDULED SERVICE DONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A READING OF ONE QUARTER OF A TANK BUT WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED WHERE THEY INFORMED THAT THE TITAN SENDER UNIT FUEL GAUGE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

MY TRUCK HAD A WHINE THAT SOUNDED LIKE BRAKES SQUEALING. I HAD THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP CHECK IT OUT AT MY LAST SERVICE AND THE TOLD ME THAT THE REAR BRAKES WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON. SO A FEW MONTHS LATER MY TRUCK SUDDENLY BEGAN TO POP AND LUNGE WHEN TURNING SO I BROUGHT IT IN SAME DAY. $3,600.00 LATER I HAD A NEW REAR END BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE JUST "FAILED". REALLY? NO WARRANTY, NO NOTHING FROM NISSAN. CHECKING THIS SITE (AND OTHERS) THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH TITANS. SINCE THIS IS A (DOT) GOV. SITE HOW ABOUT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A STATE ROUTE WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE INDICATED THERE WAS 1/4 OF A TANK OF FUEL LEFT AND THEN THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING 55 MPH WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND VERY LIMITED RUN OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY HARD TO STOP. LUCKILY I WAS IN A TRUCK AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OF ONTO THE GRASS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, OTHERWISE IT MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE WAS ALREADY AN INCIDENT FILED FOR THIS, BUT WHEN I CALLED SOMEHOW MY VEHICLE WASN'T COVERED, EVEN THOUGH MY SYMPTOMS MATCHED THE NHTSA RECALL 10V07400 EXACTLY. IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AND COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE HAD THE ROAD BEEN BUSIER OR I HADN'T PULLED OFF. I HAD TO WAIT FOR GAS ON A VERY BUSY ROAD WITH VERY LITTLE ROOM BETWEEN MY TRUCK AND OTHER TRAFFIC. I THINK IF MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL IT SHOULD BE EXPANDED SINCE IT WAS THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO AS OTHER NISSAN'S WERE HAVING, AND COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT EVENTUALLY NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT DISPLAYING THE PROPER FUEL LEVEL READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I'VE HAD TWO INCIDENTS WHERE MY TRUCK HAS RUN OUT OF GAS DUE TO THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYING THE WRONG AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON 2005 - 2009 TITANS FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM YET MY VEHICLES VIN HASN'T BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. I'VE CONTACTED TWO LOCAL DEALERS AND THE NISSAN COMPANY DIRECTLY FOR A RESOLUTION BUT I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM MYSELF. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE CONCERNING THIS DISCREPANCY? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH. THE CONTACT STOPPED AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. WHILE ALLOWING ANOTHER PERSON TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE GRINDING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL COMPLETELY FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,920. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE SEAT BELT ANCHORS ON THE REAR SEATS ARE TOO HIGH SINCE THERE ARE NO HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE SEAT BELT; SHORTER PASSENGERS DO NOT USE THE SEAT BELT AT ALL SINCE THE BELT CUTS INTO THEIR NECK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE HEARD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE REPAIRS NEEDED BUT STATED THAT THE NOISE WAS RELATED TO THE SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

ON 7/12/07 NISSAN HAD TO REPLACE BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON THE TRUCK WITH 41,795 MILES ON IT. THESE WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW AGAIN AT 106,000 MILES BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE AGAIN CRACKED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THESE MANIFOLDS ONLY LAST 50-60,000 MILES BEFORE THEY FAIL AND THAT THEY ARE REPLACING TH *TTEM ON ALL THE TRUCKS. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IF I GO TO TITAN TALK WEBSITE THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. SEEMS LIKE A FAULTY PART THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR AXLE WAS LEAKING AND BOTH SEALS WERE BROKEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD BEEN REPAIRED BEFORE UNDER A MANUFACTURER'S VOLUNTARY RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

I LOOKED OUTSIDE AND HAD A PUDDLE OF OIL UNDER THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK. GOT THE TRUCK TO A MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THE FRONT AXLE POPPED OUT OF PLACE. THIS TRUCK IS STOCK, NO LIFTS AND NEVER GOES OFF ROAD. SO THIS HAPPENED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. A FRONT AXLE SHOULD NOT JUST POP OUT OF PLACE. I JUST GOT IT BACK FROM REPLACING THE REAR AXLE AND SEALS AS BOTH WERE LEAKING. ALSO THE REAR SHACKLES ON THE VEHICLE ROTTED OUT. THIS VEHICLE HAS WAY TOO MANY PROBLEMS FOR NISSAN NOT TO BE RECALLING AND FIXING THESE ISSUES. *TR

THE REAR END WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY IN MY 2005 TITAN AT 55K MILES NO CHARGE DUE TO OVAL SHAPED AXLE TUBES CAUSING AXLE SEAL FAILURE. HERE I AM AGAIN 2012 WITH 115K MILES OUT OF WARRANTY BUT ONLY 60K MILES ON THE REAR END THAT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BLOWN AXLE SEALS DUE TO OUT OF ROUND AXLE TUBES. IF YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE THIS ALL THE AXLE OIL CAN LEAK OUT CAUSING SUDDEN REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE WHICH MAY LEAD TO A CRASH OR LOSS OF LIFE. NISSAN WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AFTER THE SEALS WHERE REPLACED IN THE SECOND REAR END AND THE SEALS CONTINUE TO LEAK AFTER REPLACEMENT. NISSAN REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE AND STATED "YOUR TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY" IMO THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THE AXLES LEAKING ALONG WITH THE CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT WERE NUMEROUS REPORTED ALSO. VISIT THE NISSAN FORUMS AND YOU CAN VIEW 44 PAGES OF DIFFERENTIAL ISSUES ON TITAN TALK.COM. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE... *TR

MY REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE SNAPPED PUNCHING A HOLE THOUGH THE TRUCK BED OPENING IT UP LIKE A TUNA CAN WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND NEARLY LOST CONTROL IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WHERE THERE WERE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE WORKING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. DID SOME INVESTIGATING AND IT SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 04-07 TITANS AND AM WONDERING WHY I (OR THE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WHO'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM) WERE NOT INFORMED ABOUT THIS FROM THE FINE FOLKS AT NISSAN BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. I WOULD HAVE PAID TO REPLACE THEM MYSELF HAD I JUST BEEN TOLD.....ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY...SAFETY IS NUMBER ONE IN MY BOOK ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M HAULING AROUND MY 18 MONTH OLD IN SOMETHING THAT THE FACTORY KNOWS HAS A LIFE THREATENING DEFECT AND DOESN'T TELL ANYONE!!!!!!!! SINCERELY PISSED!! *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS MORE COMMON FAILURES THAN ANY I HAVE SEEN. BOTH OF THE REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLES ROTTED OUT. THE REAR AXLE SEALS ARE NOW LEAKING. IN 6 MONTHS I HAVE REPLACED 2 OXYGEN SENSORS AND NOW FOR THE 2ND TIME I AM REPLACING THE EVAP CANISTER CONTROL VALVE. NISSAN SEEMS TO IGNORE ALL OF THESE ISSUES AND HAS REDESIGNED MANY OF THESE PROBLEM AREAS IN NEWER MODELS HOWEVER DOES NOT OWN UP TO FIXING THE ISSUES ON VEHICLES THAT ARE ON THE ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED AND REPAIRED IN THE RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V459000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED PREVIOUSLY UNDER THE RECALL, BUT THE WIRES WERE NOT REROUTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SEIZED SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR SEAL WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 98,000.

DRIVING NORTH ON THE HIGHWAY @ 70MPH, VEHICLE BACKFIRED AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN, NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. MOVED VEHICLE OFF THE HIGHWAY, CRANKED BUT WOULD NOT START. LEFT VEHICLE FOR THE DAY AND RETURNED AND REPLACED A RECALLED (BUT KNOWN GOOD REPLACEMENT) ECM RELAY AND VEHICLE STARTED AND RAN CORRECTLY BUT SHOWED SES LIGHT AND CODE SHOWED P0335 CRK POS SENSOR. THIS VEHICLE HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHILE DRIVING WHICH REPRESENTED A SERIOUS HAZARD TO BOTH THE DRIVER AND SURROUNDING VEHICLES SHOULD THE DRIVER HAS PANICKED IN THIS SITUATION AND HEAVY TRAFFIC. TO DATE THE VEHICLE IS A NISSAN FACILITY AND STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT GREAT EXPENSE AND INCONVENIENCE TO THE OWNER. *TR

IN APRIL 2011 MY REAR AXLE SEALS ON MY NISSAN TITAN WERE LEAKING. I HAD THESE SEALS REPLACED WITH GENUINE NISSAN PARTS. NOT EVEN 11 MONTHS LATER, I WAS COMING HOME FROM CAMPING, AND AT APPROX 45 MPH I HEARD A LOUD POP, AND METAL ON METAL IN MY REAR WHEELS. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND FOUND A MECHANIC WITHIN .2 OF A MILE. HE TOLD ME THAT MY REAR AXLES SEALS FAILED, BLEW OUT THE BEARINGS, AND THE ONLY THING HOLDING MY WHEEL ON WAS THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO NISSAN, AND HAVE A WHOLE NEW REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY INSTALLED ($4000). THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS TO NISSAN ABOUT THESE REAR AXLES FAILING, STARTING WITH THE SEALS....THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS SEEN MANY OF THESE TRUCKS COME IN FOR NEW REAR AXLES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM NISSAN OWNERS AS WELL. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT, BUT WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IF I DIDN'T PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY, MY WHEEL MIGHT HAVE FALLEN OFF (ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC). I'M ASKING FOR SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU. *TR

BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON MY TRUCK HAVE CRACKED. THE SERVICE WRITER AT THE DEALERSHIP COULD HEAR IT BEFORE I EVEN SAID ANYTHING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR NISSAN TITANS. THIS COULD POSSIBLY ALLOW EXHAUST GASES INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A LEAK COMING FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, CAUSING THE ODOR TO ENTER THROUGH THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

IN AUGUST OF 2010 WAS THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND DIED WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN STREET GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. LATER I DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF GAS DESPITE THE FUEL GAUGE BEING AT 1/4 TANK. TODAY, AFTER NEARLY 1 1/2 OF KEEPING MY TRUCK ABOVE 1/4 TANK AND LOGGING MY MILES, THE VEHICLE ENGINE POWER DIED ON ME AND FAILED TO START BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN IT WAS OUT OF FUEL...THIS TIME READING JUST UNDER 1/2 TANK. BOTH SITUATIONS ARE EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND CAUSED UNNECESSARY STRESS. I'VE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ARE AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON THE NISSAN TITAN MODEL TRUCKS BUT CAN NOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT THE OFFICIAL RECALL. IT IS WIDELY KNOWN THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME OF THE NISSAN TITAN MODELS AND SHOULD BE EXTENDED THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE FAILING FUEL SYSTEMS BEFORE MYSELF OR SOMEONE IS FACED WITH EXTREME INJURY. *TR *JS

REAR DIFFERENTIAL COMPLETELY FAILED AT 102,000 MILES. VEHICLE NOT DRIVABLE. DO NOT USE THE VEHICLE OFF ROAD WITH VERY LITTLE TOWING. THIS IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE.NISSAN REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY DEFECT. COST TO REPAIR $3K. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR WAS CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

AS MY HUSBAND JUST GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE THE REAR END COMPLETELY BLEW OUT, PARTS WENT EVERYWHERE. WHEELS LOCKED UP. A GENTLEMAN THAT WAS WALKING BROUGHT ME SOME PARTS THAT SHOT ACROSS THE STREET. THANK GOD I WAS OFF THE INTERSTATE WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH, THE ENDING TO THIS STORY WOULD BE MORE TRAGIC. LONG STORY SHORT, IT WAS THE ENTIRE REAR END. LOOKS LIKE I AM LOOKING AT A $2,000 REPAIR THAT EVIDENTLY NISSAN KNOWS ALL ABOUT WITH THE COMPLAINTS AND IT IS CRAZY THEY HAVE NOT DONE A THING ABOUT IT. I KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS HAPPEN TO VEHICLES, BUT WE HAD NO WARNING OF WHAT JUST TOOK PLACE. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN SE - RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING ONTO BRAKES. 80,000 MILES ON TRUCK. *TR

ABS COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE HARNESS TO OVER HEAT, 4 WHEEL DRIVE HARNESS HAS MELTED AND WON`T ENGAGE 4 WHEEL DRIVE, IT ALSO EFFECTED THE AIR BAGS LIGHT ON DASH TO FLASH AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS TO SHUT OFF. *TR

VEHICLE HAS ONLY 49K MILES ON IT AND HAD TO HAVE THE RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THIS TIME OUT OF MY POCKET AS IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. MANY TITAN OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. APPEARS THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IF THE FLUID TOTALLY LEAKED OUT, I AND MANY OTHERS COULD HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THE REAR END FAILURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED SMOKE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN SHE DROVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER INSPECTION, SHE NOTICED THAT FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,762.

THE REAR END OF MY VEHICLE IS MAKE ALOT OF NOISE WHICH SEEMS TO GET LOUDER AS I ACCELERATE. I FOUND OUT THAT NOISE IS COMING FOM THE DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MANEUVERED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR ASSEMBLY. TWO YEARS AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED, THE IDENTICAL FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,400.

FAILED REAR END CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. I HAD TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND THE EXPLOSION SCARED THEM TO SAY THE LEAST. *KB

LOWERED TAIL GATE TO LOAD AND NOTICED A LARGE BUMP IN THE BED LINER. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THE LEAF SPRING SHACKLE HAD BROKEN AND THE SPRING HAD GONE THRU THE BED OF THE TRUCK. *TR

REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING. DIFF FLUID IS GETTING ON THE BRAKE ROTORS, PADS,AND WHEELS. *TT

IN 2005 4 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE TITAN, I WAS INVOLVED IN A MINOR REAR END ACCIDENT THAT DENTED THE REAR BUMPER. 2 MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND THE BUMPER WAS REPLACED I NOTICED SEEPAGE COMING FROM THE REAR AXLE. I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE ACCIDENT AND DID NOT HAVE THE SEALS REPLACED. IT WAS NOT. THE LEAK HAS ENTERED INTO MY EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM AND IT HAS NEVER PERFORMED PROPERLY. ON JANUARY 13, 2012 A LOUD NOISE FROM THE REAR END PROMPTED ME TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE WHERE I NOTICED SMOKE AND A BURNING OIL SMELL COMING FROM THE AXLE. THE BEARINGS WERE REPLACED AND I DROVE THE TRUCK FOR 20 MILES AND THE TRUCK BROKE DOWN AGAIN. I RESEACHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING SEAL LEAKS AND REPLACEMENT OF THE AXLE SHAFT. I ALSO FOUND A 2010 SERVICE BULLETIN FROM NISSAN INSTRUCTING REPLACEMENT OF THE AXLE SHAFT AND ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS. I HAVE 200,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND IT HAS PERFORMED RELATIVELY WELL, BUT I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH NISSAN FOR NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE AND RISKING MY FAMILYS' SAFETY FOR 5 YEARS BEFORE ISSUING A SAFETY BULLETIN. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 DIFFERENTIAL STARTED MAKING A NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT FROM STOP. WE WERE TOLD IT COULD BE LIMITED SLIP ISSUE AND HAVE FLUID CHANGED AND MAKE SURE SYNTHETIC LUBE IS PUT BACK IN. MECHANIC SHOWED ME A PART OF A SPIDER GEAR THAT WAS STUCK TO THE MAGNETIC DRAIN PLUG. SAID WE NEEDED A NEW LIMITED SLIP AND PROBABLY NOT PLANETARY GEARS. WE WERE SHOCKED WHEN WE WERE TOLD THAT NISSAN PROHIBITS THE DIFFERENTIAL MANUFACTURER FROM SELLING SEPARATE PARTS FOR THE DIFFERENTIAL - YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE THE COMPLETE DIFFERENTIAL FROM NISSAN AND IT COST $2800 JUST FOR THE PART. CHECKING THIS OUT ON BLOGS, IT APPEARS THAT NISSAN HAD THIS PROBLEM ON YEARS '04 - '06 MODEL YEARS AND THEY CHANGED TO A MORE SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENTIAL IN 2008 BECAUSE THEY MUST HAVE SEEN THE GROUNDSWELL OF TOTALED OUT DIFFERENTIALS. MOST PEOPLE JUST SHELL OUT THE MONEY AND DON'T FILE COMPLAINTS SO UNLESS NISSAN IS FORCED TO COME CLEAN ON THE PROBLEM WE ARE YOU KNOW WHAT. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS TRUCK TO WORK EVERYDAY. WE HAVE PULLED A BOAT TRAILER 6 TIMES ON 30 MILE TRIPS. THIS IS A BUNCH OF YOU KNOW WHAT. *TR

FIRST HEARD ROARING (WUB WUB WUB WUB SOUND COMING FROM UNDERNEATH WHEN TRUCK WAS COASTING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH (NO ACCELERATOR PRESSED) THE FASTER I WAS COASTING THE LOUDER AND HIGHER THE SOUND BECAME. SOUNDED LIKE BAD TIRES, BUT UPON PRESSING ACCELERATOR PEDAL, NOISE WOULD COMPLETELY GO AWAY. I TOOK THE TRUCK HOME IMMEDIATELY AND CALLED MY MECHANIC TO COME DRIVE IT AND DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. HE TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE, BROUGHT IT BACK AND TOLD ME DO NOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK; IT IS TOO DANGEROUS. SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE DRIVE TRAIN PROBABLY THE WHEEL BEARINGS OF DIFFERENTIAL. HE WOULD NOT DRIVE IT TO HIS GARAGE EITHER AS HE HAD HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER AND HER FRIEND WITH HIM. HE CAME BACK WITH ANOTHER GUY TO DRIVE HIS VEHICLE AS HE WOULD DRIVE MINE TO HIS SHOP AND TOLD ME HE WOULD PUT IT ON THE LIFT AND CHECK IT OUT. HE DROVE AWAY. I WENT BACK INSIDE AND THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER I SEE HIM BACKING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. I WENT OUT AND ASKED HIM WHAT WAS WRONG AT WHICH TIME HE INFORMED ME HE HEARD A CLANGING AND STOPPED IMMEDIATELY, AND UPON INSPECTION FOUND THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN OUT ONTO THE GROUND. HE FOUND THE NUT AND REPAIRED IT WELL ENOUGH TO BACK IT TO MY HOME DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. HE SHOWED ME UNDERNEATH AND FLUID WAS EVERYWHERE. I COULD SEE A DEFINITE GAP BETWEEN THE DRIVESHAFT AND WHERE IT ATTACHES AT THE REAR AXLE. HE CAME BACK WITH A CAR-HAULER AND WILL INFORM ME AS TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE. THANK GOD THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE DID NOT OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED WITH TRAFFIC. I HAVE ALSO HAD SEVERE BRAKE SHAKE LIKE MANY, MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS. *TR

WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 NISSAN TITAN APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH WHEN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. WE WERE 30 SECONDS FROM GETTING ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE. THERE WAS A LOUD "POP" SOUND AND THE TRUCK JERKED AND SEEMED TO SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND LOCKED UP. THE TRUCK WAS BARELY DRIVABLE. OUR MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WHEN HE CALLED NISSAN TO ORDER THE PARTS TO REBUILD IT, HE WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN PARTS DISTRIBUTOR THAT BECAUSE OF "PREVIOUS PROBLEMS" WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL, THEY ONLY SELL THE ENTIRE DIFFERENTIAL PART, NOT THE INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS, THE PART ALONE WAS $2900. OUR ENTIRE BILL WAS $3800, AND OFCOURSE WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. WE CONDUCTED RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND FOUND 80 COMPLAINTS ON THIS NHTSA WEBSITE, COUNTLESS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES, AND EVEN SOME COURT CASES. NISSAN CLEARLY KNOWS ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE IN THE 2004 AND 2005 MODELS AND HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT TO PROTECT CONSUMERS. WE WILL BE PURSUING THIS WITH NISSAN AND WILL BE TAKING LEGAL ACTION IF NECESSARY. NOT SURE WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS ESPECIALLY GIVEN ALL THE COMPLAINTS OUT THERE. NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS THIS DEFECT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT (IF IT HASN'T ALREADY). SHAME ON YOU NISSAN. *TR

IT STOP WORKING FOR NO REASON . I WAS ON A ICY ROAD THE 4X4 LIGHT SAID THAT THE TRUCK WAS IN 4WHEEL DRIVE AN IT WASN,T .THAT CAUSE A NEAR ACIDENT! I GOT ONLINE AND I SEE THAT THIS IS A ON GOING PROBLEM SHOULD BE A RECALL

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN SE 4X4 OFF ROAD EDITION. WHILE GOING AROUND A CONNER I HEARD A LOUD POPING NOISE. I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND LOOKED UNDER IT. I NOTICED FLUID COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY INSPECTED IT. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING. I ASKED THEM TO FIX IT. THEY PUT IN A NEW PART BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR THAT WORK. I THEN TALKED TO THE SHOP FOREMAN OF NISSAN AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A DOWL PIN COMING LOOSE BETWEEN THE SPIDER GEARS WITHOUT PULLING THE COVER OFF OR ANYTHING. HE SAID THAT THE REAR ENDS FAIL A DIME A DOZEN WITH MODELS 2004-2007. I ASKED HOW MUCH IT WOULD BE TO FIX IT AND I WAS TOLD 3200 DOLLARS. IF NISSAN HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME I THINK THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND ACTUALLY ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I HAVE THE TRUCK IN STORAGE RIGHT NOW DUE TO THE MILITARY, BUT I WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET AND GET IT REPAIRED. *TR

AFTER A FREEZE DURING THE NIGHT, I WENT TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE DOOR LATCH CABLE SNAPPED THE FIRST TIME I TRIED IT. THIS NOW POSES A HAZARD IF IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY I CANNOT OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR. *KB

HAD A BAD SOUND COMING OUT OF FRONT TIRE AREA. NOTICED GREY OIL THE FOLLOWING DAY ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. 70,123 MILES ON IT. TOOK MY '05 TITAN TO MY SERVICE GUY. SAID THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL IS COMPLETELY GONE. GOT IT REPAIRED YESTERDAY, $2100....LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW FOLKS WITH THE SAME ISSUES, MANY FOLKS! SEEMS TO ME NISSAN SHOULD OWN UP TO THIS BEING AN ISSUE WITH THESE MODEL YEAR TRUCKS AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM (IE RECALL) BEFORE ITS A MAJOR ACCIDENT FOR SOMEONE. MY MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE PART NUMBER WAS SUPERSEDED BY ANOTHER NUMBER, MOST LIKELY MEANING THAT NISSAN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE AND THAT'S THEIR WAY OF "CORRECTING" THE ISSUE. ONLY ISSUE NISSAN, CONSUMERS PAY FOR THE ISSUE. MAKES ME WANT TO RE-THINK ABOUT PURCHASING ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT, I HAVE TWO PRESENTLY. *KB

BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAVE GONE BAD DUE TO CRACKS AND THUS HAVE EXHAUST LEAKS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A READING INDICATING THAT FUEL WAS IN THE FUEL TANK AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

VEHICLE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED WITH OUT CAUSE. WITH ANY SLIGHT TURN OF THE WHEEL THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP AND A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND WAS HERD AT THE REAR END. NISSAN DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE VENT TUBES CORRODED CAUSING PRESSURE TO BUILD UP IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND THE SPYDER GEAR(S) FAIL. NISSAN WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND DOES NOT SUPPLY REBUILD PARTS FOR THE VEHICLE- THEIR ONLY FIX IS FOR ME TO PURCHASE A NEW REAR AXLE. SEARCHING ON GOOGLE HAS REVIEWED 168,000 HITS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED ISSUE. MY LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP IS UNABLE TO LOCATE A USED REAR AXLE AS DEMAND FOR THESE PARTS IS EXTREMELY HIGH. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT AS A SUDDEN LOCKING OF THE REAR END AT 60 MPH PLUS WOULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB 2X4 LEAKING OIL FROM BOTH SIDE OF THE AXLE. PROBLEM AXLE SEEK FAILURE. UPON TAKING THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR CHECKUP AND THEY QUOTED ME FOR ABOUT $1700.00 IN REPAIRS. AS PER THERE TSB THEY WILL REPLACE BOTH AXLE SEALS AND AXLE "TSB NTB10-032" IF THE SEALS FAIL ON MOST OF THE TITAN'S SHOULDN'T NISSAN DO A RECALL ON THIS PLUS WHEN I WAS THERE THE SERVICE MAN STATED THAT THERE TSB SAYS TO REPLACE BOTH AXLE WHICH DRIVES UP THE COST INSTEAD OF JUST REPLACING THE AXLE SEAL. *TR

I WAS IN NEW YORK FOR THE WEEK. I WAS CURRENTLY OUT SPOTTING DEER, I WENT TO TURN AROUND, I PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE AND IT SOUNDED LIKE MY REAR END BLEW UP. I THEN CONTINUED TO CAMP. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO DRIVE IT AND IT POPPEDLIKE CRAZY MAKING A BIG NOISE IN REAR. I DROVE IT TO A GARAGE AND THEY CHECKED MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND SAID MY SPIDER GEARS IN THE REAR END SNAPPED. THERE WAS PIECES OF GEARS ALL THROUGH MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS THING THAT CAN HAPPEN AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH NISSAN TITANS. I NOTIFIED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN GARAGE, THE CLOSEST GARAGE IS 47 MILES I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR TOWING AND EVERYTHING THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE REAR AXLES BUT THERE SHOULD BE BECAUSE THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER. TITAN REAR ENDS ARE TO SMALL FOR THE TRUCK. ALSO IT IS GOING TO COST AROUND 3000 BECAUSE NISSAN DOES NOT MAKE THE PARTS FOR REAR AXLE, HOW PATHETIC IS THAT! *TR

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAD FUEL. THE VEHICLE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY, IN TRAFFIC, AND WAS OUT OF GAS. AT THE TIME WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG AND ONLY KNEW IT WOULD NOT START. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO DIAGNOSED IT WAS OUT OF GAS AND THE FUEL SENDER WAS FAULTY. THE FUEL SENDER RESIDES INSIDE THE FUEL TANK ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT AT THEIR EXPENSE. OUR PARTICULAR VIN # IS NOT COVERED FOR THE IDENTICAL ISSUE THAT IS UNDER A CURRENT RECALL. *TR

AT HIGHWAY SPEED, VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART STRANDING WIFE AND KIDS ON HIGHWAY. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED 1/4 TANK OF GAS, BUT IT WAS LATER FOUND THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY. SAME CONDITION AS DOCUMENTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN 10V074000, BUT NISSAN CORP. STATED THAT VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER PREVIOUS RECALL BECAUSE VIN RANGE/MANUFACTURE DATE IS PRIOR TO SPECIFICATIONS OF RECALL. NISSAN HAS STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND HAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. *SAFETY ISSUE - A MAJOR COLLISION COULD HAVE OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEED DUE TO VEHICLE'S INEXPLICABLE SHUT DOWN. *TR

I HAD BOTH REAR WHEEL AXLE SEALS THAT STARTED TO LEAK REPLACED ON MY NISSAN TITAN. (BOTH REPLACED BY THE NISSAN DEALER)THE RIGHT REAR AT 40,527 AND THE LEFT REAR AT 55,638. NOW AGAIN THE RIGHT REAR IS LEAKING AGAIN AT 79,000. I TALKED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THEY DON'T SEE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE WHEEL SEALS LEAKING. FROM WHAT I READ ABOUT OTHER OWNERS OF NISSAN TITANS I DISAGREE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. GETTING OIL ON THE BRAKES IS A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. NEED HELP HERE. THANKS. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY REAR AXLE SEAL IS LEAKING AND HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO IT AND EVERYTHING I HAVE COME ACROSS SAYS TO REPORT IT WITH NHTSA AND WITH THE COUPLE OF CARS I HAVE HAD FOR A LONG TIME AND ONE WAS A YR 1979 I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE REAR AXLE LEAK AND THEY HAD MORE MILES ON THEM I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS SO DIFFERENT BETWEEN THOSE CARS AND THIS ONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

WHILE TAKING MY 05 TITAN IN FOR A SERVICE APPOINTMENT (TO REPLACE A MELTED WIRING HARNESS FROM MY TAILPIPE FALLING OFF, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY/PROBLEM) I HEARD A SOFT WHINE. I REPORTED IT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE CALLED ME BACK LATER IN THE DAY AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS LIKELY A BEARING IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. HE SAID HE COULDN'T REPLACE THE BEARING, THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS A COMPLETE ASSEMBLY AND HAD TO BE FULLY REPLACED AT A COST OF $2400. I ASKED HIM WHAT HE WOULD DO, AND HE SAID HE'D KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL THE WHINE GOT TOO OBNOXIOUS. SO I DID NOT REPLACE IT. I PICKED THE TRUCK UP ON FRIDAY, 9/2/11. TWO DAYS LATER, WHILE SLOWING DOWN ON A HIGHWAY TO MAKE A TURN, I HEARD A GRATING SOUND, FOLLOWED BY THE TRUCK LOCKING UP. WHEN I GOT OUT, THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS LAYING ON THE GROUND. THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD LOCKED UP. HAD TO BE TOWED. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER HAY, WHICH WITH MY TRAILER IS ABOUT 6,000 POUNDS. I DELIVER TYPICALLY 6 LOADS A YEAR, AND IT IS ABOUT A 10 MILE DRIVE TO MY CUSTOMER'S HOME. OVER 90% OF MY MILES ON THE TRUCK ARE HIGHWAY MILES, WITH THE CRUISE ON AND IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE. I DO NOT TAKE IT OFF ROAD. I ONLY USE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN WE HAVE SNOW ON THE GROUND (2 OR 3 TIMES A YEAR). THE TRUCK IS GARAGED AT HOME AND AT WORK. THERE IS NO WAY THE DIFFERENTIAL SHOULD BE FAILING ON A FULL SIZE PICKUP TRUCK UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. I OPENED A CASE WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AND TOLD THEM THAT I FELT NISSAN SHOULD PAY A SUBSTANTIAL PERCENTAGE OF THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK HAD 68,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 60,000 MILES. THEY REJECTED MY CLAIM AND PAID NOTHING. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN WITH A KNOWN POOR EXHAUST AND EMISSION CONTROL DEVICE LEADS TO PREMATURE FAILURE AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT PRIOR TO OR SOON AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES. EXHAUST MANIFOLDS INCLUDE CATALYTIC CONVERTORS AND ARE MOUNTED UNDER STRESS WHICH CAUSES FRACTURE AND EMISSION LEAKS AT THE MANIFLOLD, INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND NOT OUT OF THE EXHAUST.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN WITH ONLY 44000 MILES ON IT. DURING RECENT DRIVING IT SOUNDED AS IF THE RIGHT REAR WAS GRINDING TO PIECES. IT CONTINUALLY GOT WORSE SO I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS CAUGHT AND DRAGGING. IT WAS SO LOUD THAT PEOPLE WOULD STARE AT THE TRUCK WHEN IT PASSED BY. AFTER IT WAS TAKEN TO THE GARAGE THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE INSIDES OF THE RIGHT REAR AXLE WERE ALMOST COMPLETELY TORN APART. IT WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT IT DID NOT CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING. THEY ALSO FOUND THAT THE LEFT AXLE WAS LEAKING AND WOULD LIKELY ALSO BREAK DOWN. THE COST TO REPAIR THE TRUCK WAS OVER $1700.00. *TR

CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON BOTH SIDES OF V8 ENGINE AS DIAGNOSED BY NISSAN DEALER. RESULT -- WILL LEAK RAW EXHAUST GASES INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND INTO ATMOSPHERE. INVESTIGATION REVEALS CRACKED MANIFOLDS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM FOR NISSAN TITANS AND LARGE NUMBERS OF TITANS ARE AFFECTED. NISSAN EMISSION WARRANTY ONLY COVERS 8YRS/80,000 MILES. BUT SINCE THESE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE DUE TO IMPROPER DESIGN AND POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY THREAT AND EMISSIONS PROBLEM THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NISSAN'S EXPENSE REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE AGE OR MILEAGE. *TR

I NOTICED A BLACK DARK GREASE ON THE INNER RIM AND AXLE HUB. I WAS TOLD BY A NEIGHBOR WITH THE SAME MAKE AND YEAR THAT THIS IS A LEAKING BEARING SEAL AND THAT THE ENTIRE AXLE HAS TO BE REPLACED. I CONSIDER THIS A HAZARD IF THE BEARING SEAL HAS LEAKED ALL OVER THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND SHOES. *KB

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB TRUCK. I HAD HEARD A CLICKING WHILE TURNING A WEEK PRIOR BUT DID NOT HERE IT AGAIN. A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN ALMOST HOME I TURNED THE CORNER AND HEARD A LOUD CLANKING SOUND IN THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. AS I GOT RIGHT AT MY STREET THE BACK END STARTED TO FREEZE UP AS THE TIRES STARTED TO LOCK UP I PARKED THE TRUCK ON SIDE OF ROAD. TRIED TO MOVE IT AFTER I LOOK UNDER THE TRUCK BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHERE I FOUND OUT THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ON IT AT A COST OF $4000.00!!!! I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN IS TELLING ME THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. I JUST THANK GOD THAT I WAS NEXT TO MY HOUSE AS I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL / GOT HURT / OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE IF IT LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I CURRENTLY AWAITING IT TO BE FIXED. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO? *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AS I WAS CROSSING INTERSECTION. *TR

BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKED AT 38,XXX IN 9/2009 AND WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. NO ISSUES FOR TWO YEARS. IN 8/2011 DRIVER SIDE IS LEAKING AGAIN. TRIED TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS TO NISSAN AND WAS REJECTED BECAUSE OF "WARRANTY" ISSUES. SEEMS TO BE AN INHERENT PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY A LOT OF 04-07' TITAN/ARMADA OWNERS. TSB ISSUED BY NISSAN TO REPLACE ENTIRE AXLE ASSEMBLY 5 MONTHS AFTER MY FIRST LEAK, BUT THEY DON'T FEEL IT'S THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE PRIOR TO THE BULLETIN. WAS TOLD BY A NISSAN REP. THAT THE TSB IS A GUIDELINE FOR TECH'S. TO PROPERLY FIX AN ISSUE IF IT ARISES. I HAD THE ISSUE BUT IT WAS 5 MONTHS BEFORE THEY FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO A "PROPER" FIX, AND ACCORDING TO THEM IT DOESN'T APPLY TO ME UNLESS THE PART OR LABOR OR DRIVETRAIN WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WAS TOLD THAT IF THIS WAS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THEY MIGHT OFFER GOOD FAITH CREDIT. CURIOUS AS TO HOW MANY IT WILL TAKE FOR THEM TO NOT TURN THE BLIND EYE TO AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH WHAT I FEEL IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVE AXLE OF A VEHICLE, I BELIEVE THAT SHOULD QUALIFY AS A SAFETY ISSUE OR RECALL. *TR

I WAS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE STALLING WITH AROUND 97,900 MILES ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN. AT THIS TIME, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PROBLEM CODE READ AND THEY SAID I HAD FAULTY BANK 1 AND BANK 2 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. THE DEALER SAID THE STALLING WAS DUE TO A RECALL, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V517000. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS UNTIL THIS RECALL ISSUE. SINCE MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD ARE ONE PIECE, IT COST $2,827.28 TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AND I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THIS, SINCE THIS PROBLEM STEMMED FROM THEIR RECALL ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN OFF ROAD PACKAGE. I BOUGHT IT WITH 55,000 MILES ON IT. AT PURCHASE, I BOUGHT A 3RD PARTY EXTENDED WARRANTY(CNA) THAT COVERS UP TO 100,000 MILES OR 3 YEARS WHICH EVER COMES FIRST. MY TRUCK HIT 75,422 MILES AND I NOTICED THAT IT MADE A CLICK NOISE ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I MADE A LEFT TURN. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BLEW. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHICH I BOUGHT IT FROM. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NO DEALINGS WITH NISSAN BRAND AND I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO GET IT EVALUTED. I HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY CONTACTED THE 3RD PARTY WARRANTY CO. AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WILL NOT BE COVERED, BECAUSE I HAD NO PAPERWORK THAT THE TRUCK WAS SERVICED AT 50,000 MILES FOR THE DIFFERENTIAL. NISSAN TOLD ME THAT THEY AND THE WARRANTY COMPANY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME AND IF WANTED TO GET THE TRUCK FIXED, I WOULD HAVE TO COUGH UP 4,000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR AXLE. BEING SO FEED UP WITH THEM, I DECIDED TO GIVE THIS JOB TO MY MECHANIC WHICH HE PROJECTED TO ONLY COST 2,100 DOLLARS. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A LOYAL NISSAN CUSTOMER, BUT NISSAN REALLY LOOKS OUT FOR THEIR BEST INTEREST AND NOT THEIR CUSTOMER. ONCE MY TRUCK IS FIXED, I WILL BE TRADING IT IN FOR A CHEVY SILVERADO 1500. *TR

I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 WITH 75K MILES. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR EVERY RECOMMENDED SERVICE AND ON 3/31/2011 I NOTICED A CLUNKING IN THE REAREND WHILE MAKING SHARP TURNS. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $2700 TO REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. HE HAD FOUND METAL CHUNKS IN THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. I BABY MY TRUCK, I DON'T TOW AND I DON'T 4X4. I CANNOT ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THIS SHOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR. THIS IS QUITE CLEARLY A FACTORY DEFECT. I'VE OWNED, CHEVY AND DODGE PICKUPS AND NEVER ONCE HAD A REAREND PROBLEM. I CONTACTED NISSAN USA WAS AND EXPLAINED MY STORY. THE DEALERSHIP THEN TOLD ME THEY HAD SPOKEN WITH NISSAN USA AND THEY WERE LEAVING ME WITH A $1500 BILL TO PAY. I EXPRESSED MY EXTREME DISAPPOINTMENT WITH THEIR DECISION. I THEN CALLED CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT NISSAN TO TELL THEM WHY THEY'D BE LOSING MY BUSINESS. SHE THEN CALLED ME BACK TO TELL ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN A MISUNDERSTANDING AND THAT I WAS TO COVER THE DEALERSHIP LABOR COSTS OF $353. I ACCEPTED HER OFFER. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, I RECEIVED ANOTHER CALL FROM THAT SAME LADY'S SUPERVISOR CLAIMING THAT THE FIRST LADY MISINFORMED ME AND THAT I OWED $1500. I WAS SHOCKED AND DISGUSTED AT THE SAME TIME. I SPOKE WITH THIS "SUPERVISOR" FOR A WHILE TRYING TO REASON WITH HER, BUT IT WAS FUTILE. SHE WASN'T INTERESTED IN WHAT I WAS SAYING. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH HER SUPERVISOR, BUT SHE INSISTED SHE WAS THE TOP DECISION MAKER. SHE SAID SHE HAD NO SUPERVISOR, SO I ASKED HER IF SHE WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY TO WHICH SHE REPLIED NO. BASED ON THIS INTERACTION AND LACK OF CARE FOR THE CUSTOMER. I WILL NEVER PLACE MY TRUST OR DOLLARS IN NISSAN AGAIN. I WILL ALSO TELL EVERYONE I KNOW TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED MY TITAN A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO. I NOTICED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER THE PURCHASE A "POP" SOUND WHEN TURNING. THIS SOUND WAS HEARD MAYBE ONCE EVERYOTHER DAY. DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY I WAS TURNING FROM A STOP SIGN WHEN THE TRUCK POPPED, THIS TIME EXTREMELY LOUD AND A SHUTTER WAS FELT. I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD HIT ME. I THEN MADE THE NEXT TURN APROX.1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD TO THE GAS STATION. ONCE MORE THE TRUCK POPPED WHEN TURNING. I STOPPED AND GOT OUT TO LOOK UNDER THE REAR END TO SEE IF I COULD SPOT AND DAMAGE FROM THE AREA THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM. NOTHING WAS VISIBLE. I THEN SECURED MY SON IN THE TRUCK SO WE COULD TRY TO GO HOME. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, IM GOING TO MAKE A CIRCLE AROUND THE PARKING LOT BEFORE GETTING OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. I PUT THE TRUCK IN GEAR AND HAD MADE IT ABOUT 20 FT WHEN I FELT AND HEARD THE REAR TIRES LOCK THEN RELEASE TWICE. I QUICKLY PARKED, POPPING 2 OR3 TIME WHILE TURNING TO MAKE THE PARKING SPACE. I THEN CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. AFTER WAITING 21/2HRS I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THE NEXT DAY I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO FOLLOW UP ON THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS RECEIVE A CALL BEFORE ANY REPAIRS WERE DONE. APPROX.. 3HRS LATER I RECEIVED A CALL STATING THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD GONE OUT AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A OEM PART AND THAT THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE PURCHASED. THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO THE TRUCK BEING NEWER. TOTAL COST FOR PARTS AND LABOR 3,700 DOLLARS PLUS TAX. THEN TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE I FOUND OUT THAT THE PARTS HAD TO BE SHIPPED IN. WITH THE WEEKEND IN THE NEAR FUTURE I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD TAKE A WEEK TO GET THE PARTS AND HAVE TO TRUCK UP AND GOING. I AM CURRENTLY GETTING A SECOND OPINION. DID I MENTION THAT I HAVEN'T EVEN MADE THE FIRST PAYMENT ON THIS TRUCK?!! THOUGHT I WOULD BE SAFE BUYING A TRUCK WITH ONLY 68,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO I STARTED HEARING A TICKING NOISE ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN PU AT START UP. COULDN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS UNTIL NISSAN SENT ME AN OWNER NOTIFICATION CARD ABOUT CRACKS IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THEN IT DAWNED ON ME WHAT THAT TICKING NOISE WAS WHEN COLD START UP TOOK PLACE. I HAD THE VEHICLE RECENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR 2 OTHER RECALLS AND MENTIONED THIS ALONG WITH THE NOTICE I RECEIVED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM NISSAN. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT BUT WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAD 83,400 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND WARRANTY ISSUES ONLY WOULD FIX THIS UP TO 80,000 MILES. I HAVEN'T EVER HAD A EXHAUST CRACK ON ANY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED SINCE 1972 AND HAD SOME OF THESE VEHICLE TO UPWARD OF 250,000 MILES. WHY WON'T NISSAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TO FIX THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS ALL OF THEM THAT CRACK. SEEMS TO ME FOR SAFETY ISSUES AND EXHAUST FUMES THAT SHOULD BE ROUTED TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ARE NOW BEING PUSHED INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND NOT EVEN GETTING TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN FOR THE ABSENCE OF HELP IN THIS ISSUE AND A SERIOUS ONE AT THAT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND OF ALL THE WATCHDOG AREAS OF OUR LIFE WHERE IS THE EPA ON THIS ONE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY REPLACED THE RELAY SWITCH AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. A RECALL NOTIFICATION WAS RECEIVED TWO YEARS LATER AFTER THE REPAIR.

AXLE SEAL WENT BAD AT 52,000 MILES WAS TOLD BY DEALER I WAS LUCKY I NOTICED THE PROBLEM PRIOR TO REAR DIFFERENTIAL BURNING UP. PROBLEM NOTICED BECAUSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND WAS PROBLEM WITH THE CONTROL VALVE ON MY FUEL SYSTEM. TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BETWEEN THE TWO IT WAS 780 DOLLARS TO REPAIR AND NOW MY PROBLEMS ARE WORSE. AFTER NORMAL MAINTENANCE VEHICLE WAS SPILLING OUT FLUID FROM OVERFLOW TUBE. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY OVERFILLED FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND THERE WOULD BE NOT PROBLEM. FIRST PROBLEM AT 52000 WITH REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEAL NOW FRONT IS GOING BAD.. *TR

I WAS MAKING A U TURN AND HEARD A POP FROM THE REAR END. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY GARAGE AND WHEN THEY REMOVED THE COVER FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL PIECES FELL OUT. IT HAD DESTROYED ITSELF.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THERE WAS A SUDDEN JOLT AND A CLUNKING NOISE WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL AND WOULD NOT MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SPIDER GEAR IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD BROKEN. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER WHO REFERRED HIM TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,500.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE AT 37,350 MILES ON A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AT 37,000 MILES. *TR

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

LEFT FRONT AXLE SHAFT PULLS OUT OF FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CAUSING 4 WHEEL DRIVE TO FAIL. THE LEFT FRONT AXLE SHAFT SNAPPED AT RETAINING CLIP. PART FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN VERY SNOWY CONDITIONS. I USE 4X4 FOR DRIVING IN SNOWY CONDITIONS ONLY. *TR

CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF REAR DIFFERENTIAL RING AND PINION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE IMMEDIATELY UNDRIVABLE. *TR

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

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

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

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

VEHICLE STEERING WENT OUT AND WOULDN'T LET ME TURN. CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND RUN OFF THE ROAD AND CAUSED ME TO SLINGSHOT BACK ACROSS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD RUNNING INTO A GROVE OF TREES CAUSING THE TRUCK TO BE TOTALED AND CAUSING INJURIES TO MYSELF. *TR

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

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN, I DO NOT TOW ANYTHING WITH IT AND I DO NO OFF ROAD DRIVING. IN 2009 WITH 65,000 MILES MY REAR END STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE. I TOOK IT IN TO DEALER TO GET LOOKED AT. DEALER TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $2600.00 TO PUT NEW ONE IN. ALSO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO WARRANTY WAS UP JUST 5,000MILES AGO. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN HAS BEEN LEAKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL FROM BOTH AXLE SEALS. THE FLUID HAS BEEN THROWN AROUND IN THE WHEEL WELLS AND HAS SOAKED ALL FOUR REAR BRAKE SETS IT HAS GREATLY INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE AND I FEEL THE FAULTY PARTS SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN AS WELL AS NEW BRAKES, SERVICE AND EMERGENCY. RECENTLY MY GIRLFRIEND PARKED AND LEFT THE VEHICLE NEUTRAL WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON. THE TRUCK THEN ROLLED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AND HIT A TREE 5 FEET FROM MY DAUGHTERS SWINGSET! I FEEL THAT THE REASON IT ROLLED AWAY IS BECAUSE OF THE OIL ON THE BRAKE SHOES. NOT ONLY DO I NEED TO REPLACE ALL REAR BRAKES AND THE AXLE SEALS BUT NOW ALSO A REAR BUMPER AND HAVE MY LEFT REAR QUARTER PANEL REPAIRED. *TR

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

I PURCHASED A USE 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 IN MAY OF 2010. IN DECEMBER 2010 I WENT TO ENGAGE THE FRONT WHEEL DRIVE DUE TO DRIVING UP A ROAD THAT HAD SNOW AND ICE. AFTER COMPLYING WITH THE DIRECTIONS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL I BEGAN DRIVING UP THE GRADE ONLY TO FIND THAT I HAD NO PULL FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO LOSS TRACTION ON THE ROAD. ONE TIME THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE COMPLETE SLIDE BACK DOWN THE HILL, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DO A COMPLETE 180 DEGREE TURN. DAYS LATER I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND FOUND THE FRONT AXLE HAD BECOME DETACHED. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TITAN THEY HAD SEEN DO THIS AND HAD HEARD THAT TITANS HAD A PROBLEM DETACHING WHEN DRIVEN IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE MODE ON DRY PAVEMENT AND THE VEHICLES WOULD MAKE SHARP TURNS. LUCKILY, MY INCIDENT DID NOT RESULT IN ANY CRASHES, HOWEVER IT DID COME CLOSE TO STRIKING FIXED OBJECTS ALONG THE ROAD. *TR

FAILED REAR END DIFFERENTIAL AT ONLY 75,000 MILES. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN A LOUD BANG CAME FROM THE REAR END. MADE IT HOME, BUT MORE POPPING AND BANGING NOISES ALONG THE WAY, ESPECIALLY TURNING UNDER ACCELERATION. DRAINED REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID AND REMOVED COVER, METAL CHUNKS AND SHAVINGS IN CASE. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE "BIG TOW" PACKAGE ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED TO TOW ANYTHING. IT HAS BEEN MOSTLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND OFF ROAD VERY INFREQUENTLY AND NEVER HEAVY-DUTY OFF ROAD. IT IS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE FAILED REAR END DID NOT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOCK THE REAR AXLE AND CAUSE A SEVERE ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE, AND IN MY OPINION IS DUE TO A FAULTY LOCKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL. NISSAN WILL NOT ADMIT THIS, BECAUSE THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. NOW THAT THE 2005 MODEL YEAR TRUCKS ARE GETTING A BIT OLDER, THESE FAILURES ARE BECOMING EXTREMELY COMMON AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL ONE FAILS ON THE FREEWAY AND SOMEBODY IS INJURED OR KILLED WHEN THE VEHICLE'S REAR AXLE LOCKS UP DUE TO AN EXPLODED SPIDER GEAR ASSEMBLY.

I WAS TURNING INTO A GAS STATION AND I HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVETRAIN AND IT FELT LIKE MY TRUCK SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. I HAD TO ENGAGE 4WD JUST TO MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSIS WAS A FAILED REAR DIFFERENTIAL. PARTS ARE BEING ORDERED FOR A FULL ASSEMBLY REPAIR. *TR

MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD/ CAT HAS FAILED. THERE IS A CRACK IN MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND OVER WARRANTY 15K. I HAVE NOTICE MPG LOSS AND GASES ENTERING MY CABIN WHEN I'M AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY WINDOW IS DOWN. I'M A FATHER OF 3 AND WORRIED FOR MY CHILDREN SAFETY. PASSENGER IS CRACKED AND WORRIED THAT THE DRIVERS IS GOING TO GO SOON. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS WILL COST ME 600 PER SIDE + 600 FOR LABOR WHICH BRINGS THE TOTAL TO 1800+TAX. I'M APART OF A NISSAN CLUB/FORUM AND THIS IS A PROBLEM NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVING, 50+ IN CALIFORNIA. SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO GO AFTERMARKET OR EVEN PASS IT ILLEGALLY THROUGH BLACK MARKET CHANNELS. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND RELEASED A REVISED VERSION WHICH STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN IS ROBBING THEIR CUSTOMERS AND NEED TO BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE UNDER THE EMISSIONS LAW AND FOR PUTTING OUT A KNOWN FAULTY PART. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I HAVE MANY FRIENDS IN OTHER STATES THAT ARE ON THEIR 2ND SET OR GOING ON THEIR 3RD SET.

2005 NISSAN TITAN COMPLETE REAR END FAILURE. NO WARNING JUST LOCKED UP WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN WAS DRIVING DOWN A RURAL ROAD. STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WHEN TO RESUME DRIVING. WHEN LEFT TIRES WENT BACK ON PAVEMENT THE WHOLE TRUCK SHUDDERED AND THE REAR END (DIFFERENTIAL, SPIDER GEARS, ETC) BASICALLY BLEW UP. TRUCK WAS HALF IN THE TRAFFIC LANE. A NEW REAR END IS BEING INSTALLED WITH OEM PARTS. *TR

DRIVERS DOOR IS DIFFICULT TO OPEN WHEN OUTSIDE TEMP IS BELOW 15 DEGREES, AND WHEN I GET THE DOOR OPEN AND CLOSE IT, IT WILL NOT OPEN AGAIN WHEN I CLOSE IT TRAPPING ME INSIDE. I HAVE TO CRAWL OVER THE PASSENGER SEAT TO GET OUT. I THINK THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IF THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OR IF I GOT STUCK ON TRAIN TRACKS ETC. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND EVEN HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THEIR WEBSITE. THE BULLETIN IS NTB05-118A. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THE REP STATED THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. *TR

THERE WAS A NOISE FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND AN ODD ODOR. IT ALMOST FELT LIKE A TRANSMISSION SLIP ONCE IN A WHILE DRIVING. I DROVE IT HOME AS THE NOISE WAS GETTING WORSE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEIR TECH DROVE IT OFF THE LOT TO "CHECK IT OUT" AFTER I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WAS GETTING WORSE. THE REAR END BLEW OUT AND SPRAYED FLUID ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE, THE BACK OF THE TAILGATE, EVERYWHERE. THE DEALER JUST SAID IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. PERIOD. THIS TRUCK IS WELL MAINTAINED BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND I AM TOLD THAT THE REAR END/DIFFERENTIAL IS SEALED AT THE FACTORY AND IS NOT A PART OF A MAINTENANCE ITEM. IT IS NOT USED FOR TOWING, OFF ROADING OR ANYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO DRIVES THE TRUCK. I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS HAD IT GONE OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A RATHER COMMON PROBLEM BASED ON THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED. IT IS ALSO AN EXPENSIVE PROBLEM AT $2300.00 IN MY ESTIMATION. I REQUESTED THAT THEY KEEP THE PART FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. THE VEHICLE HAS 57,000 MILES. MY DRIVEWAY IS STEEP AS I LIVE IN A REMOTE LOCATION. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS HEADED TO TOWN. THE REAR END WENT OUT AND MY TITAN SLID OFF THE ROADWAY. THE MECHANIC WHO IS REPAIRING MY VEHICLE TOLD ME THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY MODEL OF VEHICLE. I CHECKED ON LINE AND FOUND MANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND FOUND THERE WAS NO RECALL REGARDING THIS. REPAIR COST IS NOW OVER $2000. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE CONTACT BEGAN TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION BROKE IN HALF. HE WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 69,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

1. NORMAL, HIGHWAY AND LOCAL DRIVING OF VEHICLE. NO ABUSIVE VEHICLE TREATMENT. A MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO DO A TEMPORARY REPAIR TO ENABLE US TO DRIVE HOME AND WE THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL GARAGE TO HAVE IT FULLY INSPECTED. 2. THE FRONT RIGHT AXLE (HALF-SHAFT) OF THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE FELL OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL UNIT. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT A HIGHER SPEED IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE OR EVEN 2 WHEEL DRIVE A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL COULD OCCUR RESULTING IN A CRASH. 3. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OF THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THEY REALIZE THERE WAS A FAULTY BEARING DESIGN. THE BEARING HAS SINCE BEEN REDESIGNED BUT VEHICLES WITH THE DEFECTIVE BEARING ARE STILL IN SERVICE. THE LOCAL VEHICLE DEALER'S MECHANICS HAVE SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THESE INCIDENTS AND CAN REPLACE THE BEARING AT MY EXPENSE SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY (THE VEHICLE HAS 76,00 MILES -- NO OFFROAD -- AND THE WARRANTY IS ONLY GOOD FOR 60,000). HOWEVER, THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT THAT IS KNOWN TO THE MANUFACTURER AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED A LONG TIME AGO. I AM REQUESTING THAT YOU INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AS THE MANUFACTURER SEEMS TO WANT TO IGNORE THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING AT 42,000 MILES. DEALER SAID THERE IS A DEFECT BUT NOT A RECALL. THEY WANT TO REPLACE WHOLE AXLE TO PREVENT SEAL LEAKING AGAIN. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKING FOR THE SECOND TIME.

NOW 2 YEARS LATER THAT SIDE HAS FAILED AND IS LEAKING AGAIN. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS FAILED ON THAT SIDE ALSO. NISSAN HAS NOT OFFERED A RECALL. EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKING ALLOWS EXHAUST FUMES TO NOT BE VENTED CORRECTLY AND THE FUMES CAN COME INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE.

THANKFULLY ALL HAS BEEN COVERED UNDER OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPLACED PARTS, BUT WHEN IT RUNS OUT THESE WILL COME FROM OUR POCKET, AND NO ONE CAN GUARANTEE THE NEW PARTS ARE NOT JUST REPLACEMENTS OR ANY BETTER.

AT ONLY 60,755 MILES I EXPERIENCED A REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK WHICH AFFECTED MY ABILITY TO APPLY MY EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE. THE FLUID HAD LEAKED SO BAD THAT IT COVERED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ROTOR, PREVENTING IT FROM HOLDING.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKING FOR THE SECOND TIME. BOTH SIDES WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEN 1 YEAR AND 8 DAYS LATER I WAS TOLD THEY WERE LEAKING AGAIN. NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN SE CREWCAB 4X4 THIS PAST WEEKEND, I HEARD LOUD BANGING NOISES COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN (AT LOW SPEED), I NOTICED THE LEFT REAR TIRE LOCKED UP COMPLETELY. THIS SAME SYMPTOM CONTINUED THROUGH THE NEXT DAY SO I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AND DROPPED OFF MY TRUCK THIS MORNING (TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2010) AT THE NISAN DEALER IN MELBOURNE, FL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $3,400 PLUS TAX. I ONLY HAVE 79,732 MILES ON THE TRUCK, DON'T USE IT TO TOW, AND DON'T OFF ROAD WITH IT. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THIS WAS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE I HAD A DODGE RAM 1500 THAT I DROVE UNTIL ABOUT 176K MILES AND IT NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. THE DEALER HAD NO ANSWER ... I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND NOTICED THIS IS A RECURRING THEME FOR 2005 NISSAN TITANS. I HAVE A CALL INTO A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE SINCE I DON'T HAVE $3,400 PLUS TAX TO THROW AWAY ON A NISSAN DEFECT. *TR

BOTH MY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAVE CRACKED ONE HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. THE OTHER ONE IS NOW CRACKED AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

THE REAR AXLE SEAL ON MY NISSAN TITAN WAS LEAKING OIL ON THE REAR BRAKES AND THE FLUID LEVEL WAS EXTREMELY LOW. NOT SURE HOW OFTEN THIS FAILURE OCCURS, BUT NOW THAT I AM AWARE OF REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK PROBLEMS I WILL MONITOR FOR THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPLACED A BEARING, SPACER, AND REAR OIL SEAL. AFTER RESEARCHING NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKS THERE APPEARS TO BE A TREND OF REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURES. THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURE BEFORE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OCCUR. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF 7/11 ONTO THE ROAD AND WAS ACCELERATING TO 50KM AN HR AND MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL STARTED TO JERK AND MAKE NOISE I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN SHERWOOD PARK ALBERTA AND THEY TOLD ME I WILL NEED A WHOLE NEW REAR DIFFERENTIAL FOR MY TRUCK IT IS A 05 NISSAN TITAN SE 4X4 I DO NOT TOW ANYTHING WITH MY TRUCK OR TAKE IT OFF ROAD I USE IT TO AND FROM WORK AND USE THE 4X4 IN THE WINTER. *TR

2004-2008 TITAN; REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKS. MINE IS A 05'. RIGHT REAR WHEEL WELL IS COVERED WITH OIL AND THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE IS FLOODED WITH OIL ALSO. 55K MILES AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND I WAS LUCKY IT LASTED THIS LONG. DEALERSHIP WANTS $1,500+ TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT NOT JUST WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND DROPPED TO A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WOULD IT FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED; THEREFORE, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR LATER THE FAILURE RECURRED. SHE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BURNING OIL MUCH FASTER THAN NORMAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

LEAF SPRING SHACKLE BROKE AT WELD, AND REAR PASSENGER LEAF SPRING PUSHED THROUGH THE BODY OF MY PICKUP BED . IT WASN'T THAT DISTINGUISHABLE, IT SOUNDED LIKE A CLUNK IN THE REAR AND THAT WAS IT. I WILL CONTACT NISSAN AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. HOWEVER, I WILL BE PURCHASING AFTERMARKET SHACKLES TODAY FOR INSTALL. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN LEAKING EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED AND LEAKING FUMES INTO THE CAB OF MY TRUCK. I CAN ALSO HEAR A TICKING NOISE AND ENGINE PERFORMANCE IS SUFFERING. *TR

JUST REGULAR DRIVING, THE REAR WHEEL SEALS LEAK AND SEEMS TO ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL VENT. DEALERSHIP SAID MORE THAN LIKELY I WILL NEED A WHOLE NEW REAREND. *TR

THE REAR EXHAUST FLANGE BROKE CAUSING THE EXHAUST PIPE TO AIM INTO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK BED. THIS HAS CAUSE MELTING PLASTIC, REAR TAILLIGHT FAILURE AND PAINT TO DELAMINATE FROM THE REAR FENDER. *TR

I HAD A 2005 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK. THE REAL AXLE SEAL BROKE AND THE OIL CAME INTO THE REAR BRAKE WHEN I WAS ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY FROM FL BACK TO VA. I HAD TO DRIVE SO SLOW TO MAKE IT BACK HOME AND HAD IT REPLACE FOR $500. FEW WEEKS LATER NOW I HAVE A FRONT DRIVE AXLE SEAL BROKE AND OIL IS LEAKING. I AM BRINGING TO DEALER AND REPLACE TODAY. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN SE 4X4 - REQUIRES AN ENTIRE REAR END REPLACEMENT. NO KNOWN EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE; REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS MAKING MAJOR BANGING AND GRINDING NOISES. MECHANIC FOUND IT TO BE FULL OF METAL CHUNKS AND SHARDS DUE TO A GEAR FAILURE. THIS THEN LED TO A CHAIN REACTION DAMAGING THE MAJORITY OF THE REAR AXLE COMPONENTS. TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET, BUT NISSAN TELLS ME THAT IT WILL REQUIRE A WHOLE NEW REAR END COSTING ALMOST $4000. I CAN ASK THAT THE SERVICE DEPT. TO HOLD ON TO THE OLD PARTS ONCE THE REPAIRS ARE PERFORMED. *TR

BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING. HAD A COMPLETE REAR END REPLACEMENT AT 58,000 MILES. CURRENTLY HAVE 100,000 MILES AND BOTH REAR SEALS ARE LEAKING AGAIN. I TOWED A 2990 LBS TRAILER FROM MICHIGAN TO WEST VIRGINIA, THE MORNING AFTER GETTING HOME I NOTICED THE LEAKS AND POPPING IN REAR END WHEN PULLING OUT. FIRST TIME TOWING WITH THIS TRUCK. MILEAGE IS ALL HIGHWAY. COMMUTED 120 MILES PER DAY TO WORK. I HAVE BEEN ON FORUMS AND SEEN COUNTLESS OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN IS VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT EVEN MAKE PARTS AVAILABLE. THEY ARE JUST REPLACING THE ENTIRE REAR ENDS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR IT. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO OTHER THAN FIX IT ONE MORE TIME AND THEN SUE UNDER LEMON LAW WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. *TR

CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH 2005 NISSAN TITAN. CURRENT ISSUE IS FAILING REAR AXLE. I HAVE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I.E. WHINNING, CLUNK BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL AS VEHICLE AGES. INDICATED TO LOCAL DEALER PROBLEMS REPORTED WITH FAILING AXLES, AND AXLE SEALS AND AXLE BREATHER PROBLEMS. THEY INDICATED THEY WERE UNAWARE OF VERY MANY SUCH PROBLEMS. NOISE AND CLUNK BECAME WORSE AND I BEGAN TO INVESTIGATE VIA WEB AND THROUGH MY ORGANIZATION MEMBERSHIP (CLUB TITAN) AND DISCOVERED A LARGE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. BACK TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO FINALLY ADMITTED KNOWN ISSUES WITH AXLES. PAST WARRANTY AT THIS POINT, THEY RECOMMENDED CONTACTING NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. CALLED AND DESCRIBED ISSUES, THEY ASSIGNED FILE # AND ASKED ME TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSIS (WHICH I HAD TO AGAIN PAY FOR) AND INFORMATION ABOUT ANY PREVIOUS NISSAN VEHICLES OWNED. BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN THE REQUESTED INFORMATION, NISSAN CALLED BACK AND DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE CITING AGE/MILEAGE OF VEHICLE. I INDICATED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM, NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT HAS OCCURRED AFTER THE WARRANTY. THEY CALLED BACK SEVERAL DAYS LATER AND INDICATED THAT THERE IS NO RECORD ANYWHERE OF ANY COMPLAINTS ON MY PART REGARDING THE AXLE PROBLEM. SEEMS STRANGE THAT OTHER HISTORY EXISTS (BRAKE PROBLEMS, RECALLS, ETC.) ON MY VEHICLE, BUT ODDLY "NOTHING" ABOUT AXLE PROBLEMS. WE ARE MOVING SOON, AND I CANNOT AFFORD THE OUT OF POCKET REPAIRS, BUT I CANNOT PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 WITH THE OFF ROAD PACKAGE. ON THE 3RD OF OCTOBER 2010 I NOTICED WHEN I TOOK A LEFT TURN AND ACCELERATED THROUGH THE TURN I HEARD A POPPING SOUND AND THE REAR OF THE TRUCK HOPPED. ON THE 4TH I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD BROKEN TEETH AND IT IS A RECURRING PROBLEM. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. MY FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED IN JUNE 2010. FIRST TIME FAILURE HAS OCCURRED. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY EVALUATED THE PROBLEM AND SENT A USED PART TO THE REPAIR FACILITY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND RETURNED TO ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 15 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN UNUSUAL BANG FROM UNDERNEATH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE DRIVE SHAFT FRACTURED FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD LOCKED. THE DEALER REPAIRED AND REPLACED THE DRIVE SHAFT, REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND THE REAR SEAL TRANSFER CASE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION FLANGE FRACTURED, CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,951 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93,253. UPDATED 01/20/11 *BF UPDATED0 3/24/11

2005 NISSAN TITAN LE HAD AN EXHAUST TAILPIPE SEPARATION AT A WELD. THE HANGER THAN HOLDS THE TAILPIPE IS DESIGNED WRONG. THE WEIGHT OF THE PIPE CAUSES THE EXHAUST GASES UP INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR FENDER MELTING WIRES, PLASTIC, AND POTENTIALLY ANYTHING IN THE CARGO BOX AREA (BED LINER MELTED). THE TAILPIPE WAS NOT DAMAGED IN ANY WAY PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. I HAVE FOUND MANY INTERNET FORUMS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING TO OTHER TITAN OWNERS. I AM CONFIDENT IF I WOULD NOT HAVE NOTICED THE PROBLEM EARLIER AND HAD COMBUSTIBLES IN THE CARGO AREA, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL DID NOT WORK AND THAT IS WHAT MADE ME LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHEN THE CONTACT PULLED TO A STOP SIGN, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP. THE VEICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND WAS AWAITING INSPECTION BY THE DEALER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,130 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,130.

NISSAN TITAN STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS DRIVING RUNNING ERRANDS WHEN SUDDENLY MY TRUCK STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER LANE TO LET TRAFFIC THROUGH AND TO AVOID GETTING HIT. I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE BACK AND HEADED HOME. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE AND CAME TO FIND OUT THAT NISSAN TITAN IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE IPDM ECU RELAY. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT OR WORSE KILLED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THE REPAIR EXPENSE WAS PARTIALLY COVERED UNDER THE SERVICE WARRANTY AND THE OWNER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIFFERENCE. RECENTLY, THERE WAS FAILURE WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED, AND THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE EXTENT OF THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000. UPDATED 01/13/11*BF UPDATED 01/24/11. *JB

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN LE CREW CAB 4WD PICKUP TRUCK AND JUST EXPERIENCED A DANGEROUS FAILURE OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. AFTER SOME INITIAL THUMPING SOUNDS EMANATING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE DURING TURNS, I WAS TURNING INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE ENTIRE REAR END LOCKED UP MOMENTARILY. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO AN AUTO REPAIR FACILITY ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE GEARS IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED (TEETH BROKEN OFF). VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT A COST OF OVER $3,000. I WILL SAVE THE FAILED PART. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE WEB, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON AND EXPENSIVE OCCURRENCE. GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE (REAR WHEEL LOCKING), I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BEHIND ME. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE HAPPENED FOR NO APPARENT REASON JUST AFTER STARTING OUT IN THE MORNING LEAVING THE DRIVEWAY. I AM TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. DIFFERENTIAL WAS REPLACED 30,000 - 40,000 MILES AGO BY A DIFFERENT DEALER SERVICE FACILITY WHEN LEAKY SEALS WERE SERVICED BUT NOT FOR A DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM. I AM ASSUMING THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL RING AND PINION GEARS, GASKETS AND LUB WILL BE REPLACED. *TR

TAIL PIPE FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE 2 WEEKS AFTER NISSAN PERFORMED THEIR 27 POINT INSPECTION, WHICH SUPPOSEDLY INCLUDED CHECKING THE MUFFLER, EXHAUST PIPES AND MOUNTINGS. A SECOND NISSAN DEALERSHIP (OUT OF TOWN) INFORMED US THAT THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND WAS ACTUALLY TALKING TO ANOTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNER THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN. THE OUT OF TOWN DEALERSHIP MECHANIC EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE CLAMPS THEY USE TO HOLD THE TAIL PIPE ON JUST BEHIND THE MUFFLER, RUST OFF?? SO WHY DO THEY USE THEM??? UPON RETURNING HOME WE CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT PERFORMED THE 27 POINT INSPECTION (????) HE SKIRTED THE ISSUE THAT THE BOX FOR THE "MUFFLER, EXHAUST PIPES AND MOUNTINGS" INSPECTION WAS CHECKED OFF AS "CHECKED AND OKAY" AND INFORMED US THAT IT WAS A COSTLY FIX. NOTHING WAS DONE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND NO APOLOGIES WERE MADE FOR THE OBVIOUS OVERLOOK OF A RUSTY CLAMP THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT HAD IT FALLEN COMPLETELY OFF, ESPECIALLY TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON A BUSY INTERSTATE ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND, HAD WE NOT HEARD THE CLANGING OF THE PIPE BANGING AGAINST THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK. *TR

I BELIEVE THAT THE NISSAN TITANS HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THEIR BRAKES. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW IN 2005 WITH 14 MILES SHOWING ON THE ODOMETER. AFTER THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATED A LOT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. I NEVER LEAVE MY FOOT ON OR RIDE THE BRAKE PEDAL NOR DO I USE THE BRAKES EXCESSIVELY, MOST OF THE MILES ON THE VEHICLE ARE HIGHWAY MILES BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS USED MOSTLY FOR VACATION PURPOSES. I DO HOWEVER TOW A SMALL 6 BY 12 FOOT BOX TRAILER WITH 4 BICYCLES IN IT, WHICH MAKES FOR A LIGHT LOAD. IT HAS CONTINUED TO PROGRESS AND BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED AS THE VEHICLE AGES. AT AROUND 13,000 MILES THE BRAKES SOMETIMES GRAB OR WOULD NOT STOP WITH OUT APPLYING EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL MUCH MORE THAN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, THIS WOULD BRING THE TRUCK TO A SHAKING, ROUGH OR SOMETIMES TIRE SQUEALING STOP. AT 13,300 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, THEY SAID THEY COULD TRY MACHINING THE ROTORS FOR AROUND $440 OR REPLACE THE ROTORS WHICH WOULD COST QUITE A BIT MORE, HOWEVER THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE TRUCK STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 14,991 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I FEEL IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE OUT OF ABOUT 10 NEW VEHICLES THAT I PURCHASED WHICH HAS BRAKE PROBLEMS. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP FUEL FILLER DEFECT CAUSING GAS TO BACK UP AND GUSH OUT OF FILL LINE WHENEVER I ATTEMPT TO FILL TANK WITH GAS. IT APPEARS THAT THE FLAPPER THAT COVERS THE FUEL OPENING HAS BROKEN OFF AND IS BLOCKING THE FUEL FILLER LINE. *TR

THIS IS REFUTED BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FILED UNDER THE LEMON LAW BILL AS FOLLOWS: HTTP://WWW.LEMONLAWCLAIMS.COM/NISSAN%20TITAN%20DIFFERENTIAL%20DEFECT.HTM NISSAN USA SHOULD RECALL THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS KNOW DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN (SE CREW CAB 4X4 OFF-ROAD EDITION WITH TOW PACKAGE) AND STARTED HEARING A LOUD METAL ON METAL SOUND FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. I ALSO COULD FEEL A LARGE JOLT WHEN ACCELERATING AND BRAKING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW REAR DIFFERENTIAL, AND THAT I ALSO NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SEAL ON THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST $3,500 TO REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND $400 TO FIX THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 67,000 MILES ON IT, AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD ALL THE RECOMMENDED SERVICES ON THE VEHICLE, AND DO NOT USE THE VEHICLE FOR OFF-ROADING, NOR DO I USE THE VEHICLE TO TOW. NISSAN SAID THEY WOULD ONLY CONTRIBUTE A THOUSAND DOLLARS TOWARD THE REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP ORDERED THE PARTS TODAY. THIS IS YET ANOTHER TITAN TO ADD TO THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS LIST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. SHE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE BUT WAS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000- FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER: STORAGE: FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM).

2005 NISSAN TITAN, REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING, COULD SPRAY ONTO BRAKES AND BECOME A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THOUSANDS OF NISSAN TITANS, IF YOU DO AN INTERNET SEARCH ON GOOGLE FOR NISSAN TITAN AXLE SEAL LEAK, YOU WILL FIND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IF THESE BAD AXLE SEALS CAUSE FLUID TO CONTACT BRAKE ROTOR, IT COULD CAUSE BRAKING ISSUES OR ACCIDENTS. NISSAN HAS A TSB# NTB10-032 THAT DISCUSSES THIS PROBLEM, BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

1. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AUG 11, 2010 WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT 65 MPH. 2.THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN I HAD TO APPLY FOOT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC CONGESTION. AS SOON AS BRAKE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL FIVE THINGS HAPPENED: A. THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT SOFTER THAN NORMAL. B. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT FURTHER DOWN TOWARD THE FLOORBOARD THAN NORMAL. C. I HEARD A POPPING/PULSATING SOUND AS I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES. D. I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND AS I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES. E. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RED BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I HAD NO CHOICE, BUT TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO AVOID CREATING AN ACCIDENT EVEN THOUGH IT SOUNDED AND FELT LIKE BRAKE FAILURE WAS OCCURRING. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS TYPE OF BRAKE INCIDENT/FAILURE HAS OCCURRED ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE PREVIOUS TWO TIMES THIS BRAKE INCIDENT/FAILURE OCCURRED AT A MUCH LOWER SPEEDS AND I COULD NOT FIND RELATION TO WHAT WAS OCCURRING WHEN I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. 3. ONCE I HAD THE VEHICLE BACK UNDER CONTROL I TURNED INTO A LOW TRAFFIC SIDE STREET AND SLOWLY TESTED THE BRAKES, BUT ALL FIVE SYMPTOMS FROM ABOVE WERE STILL OCCURRING. I ALSO TRIED GOING IN REVERSE VERY SLOWLY, BUT THE SYMPTOMS REMAINED. I COMPLETELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION KEY AND GOT OUT TO INSPECT THE TRUCK. I COULD NOT SEE ANY VISIBLE DAMAGE TO FRONT ROTORS OR CALIPERS AND I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, BUT NOTHING APPEARED TO BE WRONG. I TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON AND THE RED BRAKE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF AND THE BRAKES WERE BACK TO NORMAL. I DO NOT FEEL THAT FAILURE HAS BEEN CORRECTED AND THAT IS WHY I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I FEEL THERE IS SAFETY ISSUE AT HAND. IT APPEARS TO BE SOME TYPE OF INTERMENT ELECTRICAL FAILURE INTERCONNECTED TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM THAT CLEARS THE FAILURE WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS TURNED OFF ONLY TO REAPPEAR AT ANOTHER TIME. *TR

TRUCK WAS STALLING AND DYING, HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR, DEALER SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THE IPDM (MODULE) AND REPLACED IT WITH MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. DEALER ALSO INFORMED ME THAT I CAN EXPECT MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS TO GO OUT IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BECAUSE THE IPDM IS AN IMPORTANT PART FOR CONTROLLING THE WAY THE ENGINE RUNS. IF THIS IS THE CAUSE OF GREATER PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE FOR MY TRUCK, THEY SHOULD REALLY LOOK INTO GETTING THE PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

I'M THE ONLY OWNER OF MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB AND I'VE BEEN HAPPY WITH THE TRUCK FOR 105,000 MILES - UNTIL THIS PAST WEEKEND WHEN, AT HIGHWAY SPEED, I BEGAN TO HEAR A WHINING NOISE. AFTER STOPPING AND VERIFYING THAT NOTHING WAS VISIBLY WRONG UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK BODY (NO LEAKS, ETC) I DROVE ON. I STOPPED A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD TO CHECK AGAIN AND WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT HEARD A LOUD CLUNK. I COASTED TO A STOP AND FOUND MY DRIVE SHAFT ON THE GROUND. CARRIAGE NISSAN IN GAINESVILLE GEORGIA IS QUOTING A PRICE OF SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR REPAIRS. I'VE BEEN DILIGENT ABOUT MAINTENANCE ON THIS VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO GOOD REASON WHY THE TRUCK'S REAR END SHOULD COMPLETELY FAIL THIS WAY. ONLINE, I'VE LEARNED I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. ANY HELP OUT THERE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE OF US WITH THIS PROBLEM? *TR

I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT A PROBLEM THAT HAS DEVELOPED IN MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN. BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING, OIL IS GETTING ONTO THE REAR WHEELS BRAKING SYSTEM THEREBY POSING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE OCCUPANTS AND THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED JUST AROUND 50,000 MILES ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN, WHICH IS VERY SURPRISING FOR ANY VEHICLE WITH THIS SMALL AMOUNT OF MILEAGE. I HAVE FOUND ON OTHER WEBSITES THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH LEAKING REAR AXLE SEALS, WITH MILEAGE AS LOW AS 8,000 MILES, 25,000 MILES, 40,000 MILES; YET STILL, NISSAN CONTINUES TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM, AS FAR AS A RECALL IS CONCERNED. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COSTLY TO BE CORRECTED, RANGING FROM $1,000 TO AS HIGH AS $3,000, DEPENDING ON THE DEALER'S ESTIMATION. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND, FOR THE SAFETY OF PERSONS AND VEHICLES, THAT NISSAN BE COMPELLED TO COME UP WITH A RECALL OF THESE FAULTY AXLE SEALS ON NISSAN TITANS. THANK YOU. *TR

THE CAR WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AT ANY SPEED AND START KNOCKING. THE LIGHTS WILL GO ON AND OFF IN THE DASH FOR A FEW SECOND BEFORE IT COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. IF YOU TRY TO IGNITION AGAIN YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO START. BUT YOU CAN TURN OFF THE CAR FOR A MINUTE AND START IT BACK UP. ONE TIME I WAS ABLE TO SHUT OFF MY TRUCK HITTING THE CRUISE BUTTON. THE BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT WHEN YOU ARE ON THE ROAD CURSING AND YOU VEHICLE STALLS YOU JUST HOPE NO ONE IS BEHIND OR IN FRONT OF YOU. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PART BUT I HAD TO COVER HALF OF THE COST OF LABOR AND PART. *TR

DESIGN FLAW ON NISSAN TITAN DUE TO EXHAUST LEAK WHICH WILL THEN BURN THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND THE TRUCK WILL STOP ALL OF SUDDEN WITH LOST OF POWER AND BRAKES, WHICH MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS. *TR WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK FROM CAMPING TRIP WITH TRAVEL TRAILER IN TOW. ON INTERSTATE 81 NEAR WILKES BARRE, PA...WE WERE GOING 65 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ENGINE STOPPED, WE HAD A LOST OF POWER AND BRAKES AND HAD TO CRIPPLE TOWARDS THE SHOULDER AND COULDN'T START THE ENGINE AGAIN. WHAT CAUSED THIS FAILURE IS THE TAIL PIPE CAME LOOSE DUE TO RUST AND THE HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST BURNED THE ELECTRICAL WIRING THAT WAS PLACED ALONGISDE THE EXHAUST CAUSING THE ENGINE COMPUTER TO MALFUNCTION. WE HAD TO PAY $1,300.00 TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED NOT INCLUDING ONE NIGHT HOTEL STAY AND RENTING A CAR BACK HOME BECAUSE THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR A FEW DAYS AND HAVING TO DRIVE BACK UP TO PICK UP THE TRUCK WITH THE TRAVEL TRAILER AND BRING THEM ALL BACK HOME. THE DISTANCE IS 156 MILES FROM WHERE IT BROKE DOWN TO WHERE WE LIVE. I BELIEVE THERE'S A DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, SERVICE MANAGER IN WILKES BARRE ACKNOWLEDGED SEVERAL OTHER TITANS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN THERE IS AN EXHAUST LEAK AS WELL AS OUR LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGED THE SAME. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE PROTECTED THE WIRING IN THE EXHAUST AREA WITH HEAT SHIELD OF SOME SORT. EXHAUST LEAKS OVER TIME, IT'S THE NATURE OF THE EXHAUST BUT IT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE CUSTOMERS TO PAY $1,300.00 TO GET THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM REPAIRED. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ASKING FOR ASSISTING IN THE REPAIR COST DUE TO DESIGN FLAW, THEY DECLINED ASSISTANCE INDICATING THAT IT IS MY NEGLIGENCE THAT THE TAILPIPE SEPARATED FROM THE MUFFLER. NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD WITH A DANGLING TAILPIPE NEEDS TO HAVE ELECTRICAL WIRINGS REPLACED BECAUSE OF THAT, IT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T RUN THE WIRINGS PARALLEL TO THE EXHAUST. *TR

05 NISSAN TITAN - CLUNKING SOUND I THOUGHT WAS A U-JOINT IS MY REAR END FIXING TO GO. RIGHT REAR SEAL LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ON MY REAR BRAKES SAFETY HAZARD. IF MY REAR END WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING 70MPH WHICH I DO EVERY DAY. IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS MAYBE FATAL RESULT. I HAVE A 6 AND 4 YEAR OLD THAT ARE WITH ME EVERYDAY IN THE TRUCK. WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX! *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. ON MAY 7TH I RAN OUT OF GAS WHILE MY FUEL GAGE WAS STILL SHOWING 1/4 TANK. I WAS ON A FAIRLY NARROW STATE HIGHWAY IN WISCONSIN AND CAME CLOSE TO SOMEONE REAR ENDING ME WHILE I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I FILED MY COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AND JUST HEARD BACK FROM THEM TODAY THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2005 TITAN FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK IS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL UNEXPECTEDLY ALSO. *TR

1. TRUCK WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHILE RUNNING OR IN IDLE POSITION. THIS OCCURRED STARTING AROUND MARCH 1ST OF 2010 AND INCREASED IN OCCURRENCE UP UNTIL IT WAS TOWED TO NORTHERN AUTO OF BERKELEY MICHIGAN THE MORNING OF MAY 28TH. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN TO NORTHERN AUTO TWICE BETWEEN MARCH 1ST AND MAY 28TH, BUT COULD NOT BE FIXED BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPLICATED BY THEIR MECHANICS. WHEN IT WAS TOWED IN THE MORNING OF MAY 28TH TO NORTHERN AUTO, THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND RECOMMENDED IT BE TAKEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM NORTHERN AUTO OF BERKELEY MICHIGAN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP OF TROY MICHIGAN ON THE AFTERNOON OF MAY 28TH OF 2010. 2. THE STALLS WOULD HAPPEN SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BELOW 40 MPH OR IDLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ALL POWER, HENCE RENDERING THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES USELESS. THIS DID NOT CAUSE ANY ACCIDENTS BUT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DO SO, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE LOSES SIGNIFICANT STOPPING AND STEERING POWER WHILE STILL MOVING. AT ONE POINT THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. 3. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP OF TROY MICHIGAN REPORTED THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY ECM RELAY ON THE INTERNAL POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM). THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED AND IS REPLACING THE ENTIRE IPDM. *TR

REAR AXLE ON MY NISSAN TITAN IS LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ALL OVER MY BRAKES FOR THE 3RD TIME. IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE NISSAN SETUP IS NOT DOING A GOOD JOB (BAD SEALS OR BAD VENTING CAUSING PRESSURE TO DESTROY THE SEALS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE OIL SEEPS ONTO THE BRAKES ONCE THE SEALS HAVE LET GO. *TR

THE AXLE SEALS ON THE NISSAN TITAN BEGAN TO LEAK AND MANY OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. MINE BEGAN TO LEAK AT 36K MILES BUT I HAVE SEEN OTHERS LEAK AS EARLY AS 18K MILES. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED PROPERLY AND FIXED. THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID THAT LEAKS OUT, LEAKS ONTO THE BRAKES AND CAN CAUSE THEM TO FAIL. I NOTICED MY AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING AFTER MY BRAKES STARTED TO SQUEAK, GRIND, AND JOLT THE TRUCK BACK AND FORTH WHILE BRAKING. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR IN NEWER MODELS. I LOVE THE TRUCK BUT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED PROPERLY. RIGHT NOW I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE SEAL THROUGH MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRONE TO HAPPEN. *TR

DEAR SIR\ MADAM I TOOK MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN TO DEALER FOR GAS GAUGE RECALL I WAS INFORM MY TRUCK IS NOT COVER I NOTICE MY GAS GAUGE LEVEL INDICATOR WILL SOMETIMES JUMP UP I THINK THIS 2005 TITAN SHOULD INCLUDE IN RECALL LIST THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

REAR DIFF WENT OUT ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN. IT WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND IT WENT OUT AT 87K MILES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT NISSAN WILL NOT STEP UP AND PAY FOR THE ITEM THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT. LOOK AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS. I THINK IT IS TIME FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *TR

NISSAN TITAN 2005 4X4 64,400 MILES THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL STARTED JERKING AND POPPING. TOOK THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SPIDER GEARS FAILED AND THE ENTIRE REAR END WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE COST WAS $3200.00. THIS TRUCK IS MY WIFE'S REGULAR DIVER AND SHE TRANSPORTS THE KIDS TO SCHOOL IN IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

MY REAR DIFF HAS BEEN MAKING NOISES FOR THE PAST 4000 MILES. TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP TWO TIMES AND THEY COULDN'T FIND IT. NOW THE REAR IS SHOT AND IM OVER MY WARRANTY NOW BY 1000 MILES,SO THEY WONT DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

NO EVENTS HAVE LED TO THE FAILURE OF THE REAR END OF MY 2005 TITAN 4X4. DEALER HAS IDENTIFIED LEAKING FLUID FROM THE REAR AXEL/SEALS. REAREND (AXEL) FAILURE IS IMMANENT AND WILL BE SUBSTANTIAL. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY TITAN OWNERS AND PRESENTS A DRIVING DANGER ON THE ROAD. I CAN'T AFFORD THE $3000 PLUS TO REPLACE THE REAR AXEL. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 58,000 MILES. THIS FAILURE IS DUE TO DEFECTIVE INTERNAL PARTS, BEARINGS, ETC. IN THE REAR AXEL OF THESE TITANS TRUCKS. *TR

I HAD DRIVEN FROM MY COLLEGE TO MY CHIROPRACTORS OFFICE WITHOUT ANY INCIDENTS. WHEN LEAVING MY CHIROPRACTORS OFFICE I WAS BACKING OUT OF PARKING STALL WITH WHEELS TURNED TO THE RIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A LOUD POP. BEING A MECHANIC I THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT HAVE UJOINT ISSUES. I CLIMBED UNDER AND CHECKED MY DRIVELINE AND EVERYTHING WAS IN GOOD ORDER. I THEN DROVE BACK TO MY COLLEGE WHERE I COULD GET MY TRUCK ONTO A LIFT AND CHECK IT OUT. IN THE 12 MILES FROM THE CHIROPRACTORS OFFICE TO THE COLLEGE IT HAD PROGRESSED TO THE POINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE. IT WOULD BIND WHEN TURNING LEFT AND DRAG WHEELS AS THOUGHT LIMITED SLIP WAS OUT. OR WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT IT WOULD SOUND AS THOUGH SOMEONE HAD TAKEN A 20 POUND SLEDGE HAMMER AND HIT THE TAIL SHAFT OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE REAR AXLE SEALS AND BEARINGS WERE REPLACED AT 50,000MI UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. AFTER REVIEWING MANY CLAIMS ON THIS DIFFERENTIAL THIS WAS AN INDICATION AS TO THE REAR DIFF GOING OUT. CURRENTLY I HAVE 67,000MI ON IT AND ON THE DEALER LEVEL THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE. HAVE A PHONE INTERVIEW WITH A NISSAN NORTH AMERICA DISTRICT REP TOMORROW AND HOPE TO HAVE THIS CLEARED UP. IF NOT THE QUOTE TO GET A NEW REAR END ASSEMBLY, SINCE YOU CANNOT JUST ORDER THE PUMPKIN, IS $3400.00. I SEE THAT THERE IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH THIS AND HOPE THAT NISSAN WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS. MY TRUCK IS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN LE CREW CAB 4X4 WITH OFFROAD AND TOW PACKAGE. NO MODS HAVE BEEN DONE TO TRUCK WITH EXCEPTION OF PUTTING ON NERF BARS. EVERYTHING ELSE IS WHAT NISSAN SENT IT OUT THE DOORS WITH. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR DISPLAYED INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. HE WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A RECALL FOR HIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL THAT DESCRIBED THE EXACT FAILURE HE WAS EXPERIENCING (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000- FUEL SYSTEM OTHER: STORAGE: FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE DEALER STATED THAT HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS ON HIS VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE REGIONAL MANAGER WHO STATED THAT IN ORDER FOR HIM TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIRS PERFORMED AT NO COST HE NEEDED TO PRESENT THE ACTUAL RECALL LETTER. NO ONE CONFIRMED IF HIS VIN WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OR NOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

WHILE ROLLING FROM A STOP DRIVING A NISSAN 2005 TITAN TRUCK WITH 84,200 MILES ON IT, I HEARD A NOISE AND SUBSEQUENT CLANGING SOUND. LATER THAT DAY I INVESTIGATED THE SOUND AND DETERMINED IT WAS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER WHO LATER DETERMINED THAT THE PINION GEAR LOSS A TOOTH/TEETH. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I DETERMINED THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM WAS TO INSTALL THE WHOLE REAR END ASSEMBLY INCLUDING HOUSING, GEARS, AND AXLES COSTING $3100 AT THE NISSAN DEALER. THERE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH NISSAN WHICH NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN 121000 MILES. NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. NOTICED OIL ON THE INSIDE OF THE RIGHT REAR FENDER WELL AFTER DRIVING 50 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED OIL DRIPPING FROM THE AXLE TUBE ONTO THE INSIDE OF THE RIM. RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL FAILED AND OIL IS SLINGING ONTO BRAKE CALIPER, TRUCK IS PARKED AND OIL IS DRIPPING ONTO THE INSIDE OF THE RIM COLLECTING AND WILL SLING OUT ONTO TIRE, BRAKE CALIPER AND EXHAUST TAIL PIPE. LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL IS BEGINNING TO LEAK. REPAIR IS NEW SEALS, BEARINGS, SPACER, RETAINING CLIP, BEARING RETAINER. *TR

RIGHT AND LEFT 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. BOUGHT USED ON 3/22/2010 WITH 61,611 MILES ON VEHICLE. 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

BOUGHT A USED 2005 NISSAN 4X4 TITAN, FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. I NOTICED FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WAS LEAKING IN THE DRIVEWAY THE NEXT DAY. NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE CV SHAFT WAS PULLING OUT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL AND NOT PROPERLY SEATED. AUTOMOTIVE SHOP FOUND C CLIP ON THE END OF THE SPLINED AXLE SHAFT BROKEN AND THE SPLINES STRIPPED AND TWISTED WHERE IT GOES INTO THE GEAR. REPLACED THE DRIVERS SIDE CV SHAFT, AXLE SHAFT, GEAR, & BEARINGS. VEHICLE HAD 44500 MILES ON IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, HE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE FROM THE LEFT THEN TO THE RIGHT SIDE WHEN SHIFTED INTO 4-WHEEL DRIVE . ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 2 MPH IN THE REVERSE POSITION, THE CONTACT HEARD AN UNUSUALLY LOUD POPPING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS HAD SEPARATED AND THE FRONT PINION BEARING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

DRIVING ALONG. STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. THE REAR END ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREWCAB, MADE A REAL LOUD CLUNK SOUND. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN BACKING UP TO THE RIGHT, AND TURN RIGHT. GOING SLOW. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 71212 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL ON 2005 NISSAN TITAN BROKE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IN RESEARCHING ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH NISSAN TITANS AROUND THE 50K -85K MILE RANGE. BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BECOME A RECALL ISSUE AS THIS COULD HAVE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES IF THE REAR END LOCKS UP WHEN IT BRAKE AT SPEED. *TR

TRUCK STARTED MAKING CLUNK NOISE 5 MONTHS AGO EVERY ONE IN A WHILE I THOUGHT IT WAS STUFF IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. LAST NIGHT I WAS TURNING A CORNER IS MADE A THE CLUNK NOISE AND EVERY TURN I TOOK UNDER POWER MADE THE CLUNK NOISE AND WHEN I START FROM A STOP ON WET DRIVING SURFACES. *TR

TL - THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH DURING CLEAR WEATHER CONDITIONS THE ELECTRIC BRAKES CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. HE STATE THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. HE REFERENCED RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07E046000 (EQUIPMENT). THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THE RIGHT REAR DOOR OPENS IN COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS WHILE DRIVING.

2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 CREW CAB AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HAS A BROKEN REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THE COST TO REPAIR IS $3,500 AN NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? I'VE TOWED A WATERCRAFT TRAILER ABOUT 5 TIMES AND NOTHING ELSE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION, A LOUD THUMP UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THEN THUMPING WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. AFTER TAKING MY TITAN TO A MECHANIC, HE TOLD ME THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS DESTROYED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

MY 05 NISSAN TITAN FUEL GAUGE READS THAT I HAVE A QUARTER OF A TANK LEFT WHEN I RUN OUT OF GAS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY SENDING UNIT IN THE GAS TANK. THIS IS DISTURBING BECAUSE IF I WERE TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR MY WIFE HAS MY TRUCK AND RUNS OUT OF GAS, THE POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF WHEN THE TRUCK DIES FROM NO FUEL. THIS COULD CAUSE A COLLISION AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THIS IS NOT A CHANCE I AM WANTING TO TAKE WITH THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY. THIS ITEM HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER NISSAN TITANS, BUT WHEN I CALLED ABOUT MINE IT WAS SAID THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT KNOWN THAT THE 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB SE 4 WD ..VIN NUMBER [XXX]...ALSO HAS THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. AND THE RECALL ID # 49063 IS FOR THE FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM RECALL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL*-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH FELL OUT OF PLACE ON THE STEERING COLUMN SO SHE WOULD HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HINGE THAT HELD THE SWITCH IN PLACE WAS MISSING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,000.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) VEHICLE LOST POWER, SPUTTERED, TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED.

MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN HAS TWO CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THEY ARE CRACKED INTO TWO PIECES AND ARE ALLOWING CARBON MONIXIDE TO ESCAPE FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ADJACENT TO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LETHAL FAILURE DUE TO CO POISIONING. NISSAN HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND WILL NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR REPORTED CASES. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND I UNDERSTAND NISSAN'S RELUCTANCE, FINANCIALLY, TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS NATURE OF THE DESIGNED FLAW THAT CAUSED THE FAILURE I BELIEVE THAT A RECALL IS JUSTIFIED. I AM VERY WILLING TO TAKE THE STEPS REQUIRED TO INITIATE A RECALL, BUT I AM NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED.

2005 NISSAN TITAN: FUEL SENDER UNIT IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. NISSAN STATES THIS YEAR/MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL. REFUSED TO FIX .TANK SHOWS 1/4 LEFT IN TANK ,WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY EMPTY.

I THINK THE BRAKE SYSTEM IN MY 2005 TITAN IS INADEQUATE. THE FRONT DISC ROTORS WERE BENT @ 20000 MILES AND REPLACED BY NISSAN FOR THIS DEFECT BUT AT 60000 MILES, THE FRONT DISC ROTORS WERE BENT AGAIN. MAKING STOPPING THIS TRUCK HAZARDOUS AS THE STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND IT TOOK MUCH FARTHER TO STOP. I CHECK THE DISC ROTORS AND THE BRAKE PADS AND THEY ARE NORMAL. I CONTACT NISSAN BUT THEY DIDN'T RESPONSE.*DT

LOUD ROAR FROM REAR OF TRUCK. ONCE IT STARTED IT GOT WORSE OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. CARRIED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD REAR END GEAR FAILURE. DEALER REPLACED REAR END. I CALLED NISSAN BECAUSE ONLY 10,000 OUT OF WARRANTY BUT TURNED DOWN. IF REAR END HAD WENT OUT AT SPEED THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS...NISSAN NEEDS TO REPAIR THESE TRUCKS! *TR

2005 TITAN 4X4 TRUCK. I HAD A NEW SET OF TIRES PUT ON MY TRUCK. THE TIRE SHOP NOTICED FLUID LEAKING ONTO THE BACK PLATE OF THE BRAKE ON THE RIGHT REAR OF MY TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS GEAR LUBE LEAKING OUT OF THE AXLE SEAL AND CONTAMINATED THE E-BRAKE AND PADS FOR THAT WHEEL. HE ALSO HAD TO CHANGE THE BEARING BECAUSE IT WAS PRESSED ON BETWEEN THE SEAL. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AXLE FALLS OUT OF DIFFERENTIAL CONSTANTLY. THIS IS ON A 2005 NISSAN TITAN SE 4X4. I KNOW THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, BECAUSE EVERYBODY ON ANY TITAN FORUM IS COMPLAINING ABOUT IT WITH TITANS FROM 2004 TO 2006. *TR

MY TITAN, AS I'M DRIVING HESITATES, OR MOMENTARILY CUTS RESPONSE, AND MY ENGINE STALLS AND TURNS OFF, I HAVE SINCE THEN FOUND OUT THAT MY IPDM WAS THE RESPONSIBLE COMPONENT FOR SUCH STALLS.....IT HAPPENS TWICE A DAY AT UNGIVEN TIMES, I REPLACED THE IPDM AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL/AXLE SEAL LEAK. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 FRONT DRIVER SIDE AXLE SHAFT PULLED OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND LEAKED FLUID. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME A TON!!!!!!!!!!!!! NISSAN SHOULD COVER THIS. I HAVE READ A LOT FORUMS AND MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. WHY IS NISSAN NOT MAKING THIS RIGHT? *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN. I MADE A TURN ONTO AN ON RAMP GOING ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOUR WHEN IT FELT LIKE I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I LOOKED AND NO ONE WAS THERE. MY TRUCK STARTED MAKING A REALLY BAD POPPING NOISE SO I HAD IT TOWED TO MEINEKE WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS OUT. SO I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY GAVE ME THE SAME DIAGNOSIS AND DENIED MY CLAIM FOR THEM TO FIX IT. PRICE TAG FOR THE REPAIR IS 3300 NOT INCLUDING TAXES. *TR

NISSAN TITAN FRONT & REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE - I PURCHASED THE NISSAN TITAN - OFF ROAD/BIG TOW PACKAGE IN JULY 2005 AND PRIMARILY USED THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. EXPERIENCED A SLIGHT CLICKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END AND BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WAS DAMAGED AND THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE WAS NOT ATTACHED TO THE DIFFERENTIAL. WHILE AT THE DEALER I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE REAR END. FIRST THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THEN 24 LATER AFTER CONSIDERATE PROMPTING THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR END NEED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN USA PAID FOR THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL (PARTS ONLY) AND HAS REJECTED MY REQUEST TO REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND OTHER SITES NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

MY GRANDSON OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICK UP, HE MADE A TURN INTO OUR STREET AND BED OF THE TRUCK, LITERALLY BECAME TWISTED AND NOT ALIGN WITH THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. HE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. WHEN HE TOOK THE TRUCK DOWN TO THE DEALERS THEY ADVISE HIM THAT BOLTS AND COME LOOSE AND THE WOULD CHARGE 300.00 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR. WE HAVE OWN A LOT OF TRUCKS IN MY LIFE TIME AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO ANY OF THE TRUCK WE OWN. WHAT TYPE OF COMPANY SEES NO DANGER IN THIS. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. AND ALL THEY COULD THINK ABOUT WAS THE CHARGE. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD WANT TO FIND OUT WHY THIS HAPPEN. SINCERELY A VER CONCERN GRANDMOTHER AND SOON TO BE GREATMOTHER. *TR

THE SPIDER GEARS WENT OUT ON MY NISSAN TITAN 4X4 AND I DISCOVERED IT IS A WELL KNOWN FAILURE IN THE EARLY 04, 05 AND EARLY 06 TITAN 4X4'S. NISSAN WON'T SELL SPIDER GEARS. YOU HAVE TO BUY THE ENTIRE REAR END/AXLE ASSEMBLY FOR ABOUT $3,000. THEY SHOULD BE REPAIRING ALL THE EARLY TITANS ON RECALL. *CN

I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I PULLED AWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH I THOUGHT I WAS REARENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND THE REAREND WAS POPPING AND GRINDING. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT AND DID NOT SEE ANY FLUID OR SIGNS OF DAMAGE TO THE DRIVELINE. I TRIED TO BACK UP AND PULL FORWARD AND THE REAR WHEELS WERE LOCKED UP. THE VEHICLE STOPPED SO VIOLENTLY WHEN IT HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN GOING ANY FASTER I AM SURE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS. DEALER SAID REPAIR WILL BE TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE REAREND AT A COST OF $3500.00 FOR A USED UNIT. *CN

AFTER DRIVING IN SNOW FOR APPROX. 100 MILES MY FRONT DIFF. BROKE. WAS TOLD THE DRIVETRAIN WAS WAY TO WEAK TO HANDLE A 5.6 V8. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK HOME FROM WORK AND REAR STARTED MAKING NOISES WITHIN A MILE FROM HOME.LUCKILY IT WAS AROUND MIDNIGHT AND NO ONE WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN IT WENT OUT AS I TURNED ONTO MY ROAD AND INTO THE DRIVEWAY WHERE THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT OUT OF TRUCK.I HAD TO ENGAGE THE 4X4 TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY IN MY DRIVEWAY.I HAVEN'T HAD IT REPAIRED JUST YET DUE TO THE FACT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY.LUCKILY I WASN'T ON THE WAY SOMEWHERE WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER IN THE TRUCK AND IT WENT OUT BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD RESULT. THE REAR END FAILURES ARE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HEARD A CLANKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, AT TIMES FROM A STANDING STILL POSITION THE VEHICLE AS YOU TRY TO GO WILL SLIP AND YOU WILL HEAR CLANKING NOISES FROM THE REAR AND THE VEHICLE WILL JERK. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A DEFECTIVE DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH HE NOTICED THAT THE REAR WHEELS SUDDENLY LOCKED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

COMPLETE REAR END FAILURE OF MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN WHILE DRIVING 45MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. FAILURE HAPPENED AT 62500 MILES AND IS THE FIRST TIME TO MY KNOWLEDGE (PRE-OWNED). REAREND IS BEING REPLACED BY NISSAN SERVICE CENTER AT A COST OF $3500 THAT HAS TO BE PAID PERSONALLY AS THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY 2500 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY AND IT APPEARS DOUBTFUL THAT NISSAN WILL ASSIST OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE SEVERE DESIGN FLAW.*CW

2005 NISSAN TITAN, DRIVING ON GRAVEL ROAD IN 4WD AND I HAD GOTTEN STUCK IN 1 INCH OF SNOW. I REALIZED THAT MY 4WD WAS NOT WORKING ANY LONGER. I EXITED MY TRUCK AND GOT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL JUST IN TIME TO STOP ON COMING TRAFFIC THAT COULD OF STRUCK MY TRUCK AND CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY TO ME AND MY PASSENGER. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT, AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE A NEW OR USED FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FOR THE TRUCK. THE WHOLE DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS REPLACED AND HERE I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE PART BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY. I HAVE NOTICED ON SEVERAL THREADS AND FORUMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE US. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED, BY THE MANUFACTURER IN MY OPINION. *TR

ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T HAD AN "INCIDENT" YET, I WORRY ABOUT IT EVERYDAY. MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN HAS THE WORST BRAKES THAT I'VE EVER HAD IN A VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR ON EVERY STOP. SOMETIMES WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED IT "SKIPS" AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES RELEASE THEN GRAB AGAIN. THIS TRUCK WAS MEANT TO TOW UP TO 9,000LBS, BUT WHEN I TOWED ABOUT 4,000 AND TRIED TO STOP, I ALMOST RAN INTO SOMEONE. THE BRAKES ARE HORRIBLE WITHOUT TOWING AND BEYOND ACCEPTABLE TOWING ANY WEIGHT. SINCE THAT HAPPENED, I HAVE YET TO TOW ANYTHING ELSE, I'M AFRAID THE TRUCK WON'T STOP. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE BRAKES AREN'T "WHAT THEY SHOULD BE" BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO BECAUSE NISSAN HASN'T ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM. I'M HOPING THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD BE LOCKED INTO. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE NISSAN ARMADA HAS THE SAME BRAKES AND THE SAME PROBLEMS. THANK YOU AS FAR AS THE INCIDENT DATE, I'M JUST USING THE FIRST DATE THAT I CAN REMEMBER REALIZING THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. CONTACT STATED HE WAS DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN HE HEARD A NOISE AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN VIBRATING EXCESSIVELY.

THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

HAVE A NISSAN 4X4 TITAN. BOUGHT IT NEW. FOR THE SECOND TIME THE REAR END LOCKED UP BREAKING THE DRIVE SHAFT. GOOD THING THIS HAPPENED AT MINIMAL SPEED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NISSAN REPAIRED THE FIRST TIME DUE TO OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY SHOULD BE LIABLE BECAUSE THEY MUST KNOW THE REPAIR THEY DO WILL FAIL AGAIN. THESE VEHICLES WITH ALL THEIR PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD IN MY OPINION. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4WD WITH 57660 MILES. WHILE TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, I EXPERIENCED A REAR END FAILURE. THE ROADS WERE WET FROM RAIN. WHEN I STARTED OFF IN A RIGHT TURN FROM THE STOPLIGHT, THE REAR END STARTED TO CLUNK AND THE TRUCK WAS JERKY. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM CORRECTED ITSELF, BUT UPON RE-ACCELERATING THE SAME THING OCCURRED. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR ONCE AGAIN AND LET THE VEHICLE COAST DOWN THE HILL, STILL CLUNKING AND JERKING. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS IN A STRAIGHT POSITION, THE REAR END JERKED REALLY HARD, AND THEN I CONTINUED ABOUT A 1/2 MILE TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRUCK WAS MOVED FROM THE SERVICE BAY TO A PARKING SPACE AND THE ATTENDANT NOTICED THAT THE REAR END WAS JERKING AND CLUNKING IN A TURNING POSITION. HE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED THE SERVICE ADVISER. UPON INSPECTION BY THE DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SPIDER GEARS WERE DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE ENTIRE REAR END HOUSING SHOULD BE REPLACED RATHER THAN TRYING TO REPLACE THE INTERNAL MECHANISMS. THE REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY WITH 2340 MILES LEFT ON THE WARRANTY. THE FACTORY WARRANTIES THE NEW REAR END HOUSING FOR A PERIOD OF 12 MONTHS OR 12000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED, AND HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF-ROAD. THERE WAS NO PRIOR INDICATION THAT A PROBLEM EXISTED UNTIL THE VERY MOMENT IT STARED TO FAIL ON THIS DAY. UPON RETURNING TO THE DEALER TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE ADVISER DID AGREE THAT THIS WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK AND THAT THIS PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP HAD REPLACED MULTIPLE REAR ENDS IN THIS MODEL TRUCK IN RECENT MONTHS. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS SAME FAILURE COULD OCCUR AGAIN. THIS COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURRING SHOULD THE FAILURE OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND AS I WENT AROUND A TURN I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND THEN A THUMPING NOISE. THE TRUCK MADE THE THUMPING NOISE EVERY TIME THAT I WENT AROUND A CORNER. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SPIDER GEARS BLEW OUT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON TITANS AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY NISSAN. *TR

3 YEARS AGO I BOUGHT A 2005 NISSAN TITAN WITH 350 MILES ON IT, SO A YEAR LATER A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CAME ON, THE WARRANTY PAID FOR IT, NOW 2 YEARS LATER, I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REAR PROBLEM, AND SOME MECHANICS THAT I HAVE TALKED TO, SAID THAT I VE BEEN LUCKY I HAVEN'T CRUSHED BECAUSE THAT KIND A PROBLEM ITS TOO DANGEROUS IN A TRUCK, IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS DAMAGE TO MY PERSON OR SOMEONE ELSE. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN. DOOR LATCH FAILURE DURING COLD WEATHER BELOW FREEZING. LIVE IN ANCHORAGE ALASKA, SO TIME PERIOD OF THIS WEATHER IS OCTOBER - APRIL. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN, NOR CLOSE PROPERLY FROM INSIDE, OR OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE. HAD THIS PROBLEM LAST WEEK, WAS NOT ABLE TO GET BACK INTO VEHICLE FOR 10MIN WHILE CHILD WAS STILL IN BACK SEAT. YESTERDAY 2 NOV DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY DOOR OPENED UNEXPECTEDLY AND PASSENGER NEARLY FELL OUT OF VEHICLE. NO ONE INJURED, HOWEVER YOU CAN IMAGINE THE EXPERIENCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THERE IS A NISSAN TSB THAT THEY WILL REPLACE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM IF VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN USA: TBNS BX56AA / TSB 05118. HOWEVER IF VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY QUOTED ME AT $400+ PER DOOR X'S 4 DOORS. THIS IS UNREASONABLE AND A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MOST OF THE COUNTRY THAT EXPERIENCES WEATHER BELOW 32DEGREES F. IT IS A KNOWN FAILURE THAT NISSAN USA KNOWS ABOUT. THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATED RECALL. THERE WILL BE SEVERE LAWSUITS FILED IF ANOTHER PASSENGER, MY CHILD, OR MYSELF CANNOT GET INTO A VEHICLE, OR UNEXPECTEDLY FALLS OUT.

MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN HAD A REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE AT APPROX. 73,000 MILES. THERE WAS A LOUD BANGING/RATCHETING SOUND AND THEN THE FAILURE. NISSAN (OR NO ONE ELSE, FOR THAT MATTER) WILL NOT SELL REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS PROBLEM. YOU CAN ONLY PURCHASE THE "ENTIRE UNIT", AT A COST OF $3500.00, WHICH IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS, SINCE IT IS ONLY A PART OF THE ENTIRE UNIT THAT HAS FAILED. I'M AFRAID THAT IF I HAD BEEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THAT MYSELF AND/OR OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. *TR

THERE ARE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN, IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE PART, I HAD TO BUY AN "ENTIRE" NEW REAR DIFFERENTIAL (BECAUSE THIS OF COURSE HAPPENED OUT OF WARRANTY). I WAS TOLD THE PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED IS ACTUALLY A VERY SMALL PART OF THE DIFFERENTIAL, BUT I HAD TO PAY $4000 TO GET THE ENTIRE THING REPLACED. I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT I AM VERY VERY GLAD THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS ONLY DOING ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN IT WENT, AND IT FELT LIKE I GOT HIT BY A MACK TRUCK!!!!! I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET TO SEE HOW OFTEN THIS IS HAPPENING AND IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ALOT! SOMEONE SHOULD CHECK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED! *TR

DOOR LATCHES FREEZE AND WILL NOT OPEN, OR IF ABLE TO BE OPENED, WILL NOT LATCH IN FREEZING TEMPS. OTHERWISE, IF THE DOOR IS SECURED, THE LATCH FREEZES TRAPPING THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE! WHAT IF THERE IS A FIRE? WHAT IF MY FAMILY IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH? DOES A CHILD HAVE TO FALL OUT OF A MOVING VEHICLE AND GET KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS? YOU FOLKS HAVE BEEN AWARE FOR SOME TIME NOW, WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE ANYTHING? THIS IS A VERY BLATANT SAFETY ISSUE. MY NEXT STEP IS TO CALL MY ATTORNEY. *TR

I CALLED GREG AT PRG PRODUCTS AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THE 2004 AND 2005 NISSAN TITANS HAD A DEFECTIVE REAR DIFFERENTIAL.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB, WHICH I PURCHASED IT IN NOVEMBER OF 2005. AFTER, APPROXIMATELY 30DAYS OF OWNERSHIP AND 500 MILES OF TRAVEL; THE FRONT BRAKES BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE COMPLICATIONS (THEY WOULD SHUDDER WHILE BRAKING AND CREATE AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF BRAKE DUST.) I QUICKLY RETURN TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, FOR SERVICING. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE ROTORS. DURING THE SUMMER OF 2006, I BEGAN TO NOTICE A MUSTY ODOR EMITTING FROM THE FLOOR AND CARPETING OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND REQUESTED THE MECHANIC TO INSPECT THE TRUCK FOR THE CAUSE OF THE ODOR. THEY COULDN'T LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE ODOR. I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS, DURING THE SUMMER OF 2007 ODOR REAPPEARED; THEY REPLACED THE RUBBER GASKET AROUND DOOR WINDOWS IN HOPES OF RESOLVING THE ISSUE. MEANWHILE THE FRONT BRAKES ROTORS WERE REPLACED AGAIN AND THE GAUGES (FUEL, OIL, TACH ,VOLTMETER) ACTING ERRATICALLY. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE BRAKES UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY & PRORATED MY PURCHASE OF A NEW NISSAN AUTO BATTERY; ACCORDING TO SERVICE DEPT. THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE GAUGES MALFUNCTION. THEN AGAIN IN2008, I WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WERE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THE MUSTY ODOR WAS CAUSED BY WATER COMING INTO THE CABIN VIA A SMALL VOID IN THE WINDOW SEALANT AROUND THE "FACTORY INSTALLED WINDSHIELD' UPON HEARING THIS, I CHOSE TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC DUE TO NISSAN MECHANIC INABILITY TO RESOLVE THE BRAKE ISSUE & LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE WATER. THIS YEAR 2009, THE REAR END WAS REPAIRED DUE THE SEALS LEAKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PREVENTIVE REPLACEMENT ON THE PASSENGER SEALS. HOWEVER, A FEW OLD ISSUES ALONG WITH NEW ONES THAT STILL EXIST. MY NEW MECHANIC TOLD ME THE SOURCE OF THE WATER & ODOR ISSUE IS THE A/C CONDENSER LEAKING INTO THE CABIN, THE BLINKING AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS DUE TO A HARNESS NEEDING REPLACING IN THE REAR DOORS. *TR

LEFT & RIGHT REAR SEALS LEAKING ON MY KING CAB 05 NISSAN TITAN. I HAD THE 60,000 MILE SERVICE DONE IN EARLY JULY 2009, AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE APPROXIMATE MILEAGE ON MY TRUCK AT THAT TIME WAS AROUND 66,000 MILES. UPON COMPLETING THE JOB, THE NEXT DAY, MOST OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED OUT OF MY TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP CAME TO MY HOUSE AND REPAIRED THE LEAK AND TOPPED OFF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A FAILED HOSE CLAMP. THEY TOOK MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK IT OVER TO CONFIRM THAT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS OK. THEY ALSO CHECK ON A FAN RECALL THAT WAS PENDING. THEY TOLD ME THAT NO REPAIRS WERE NECESSARY. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID APPEARED TO BE LEAKING AGAIN FROM THE FRONT END. I TOOK MY TRUCK IN EARLIER THIS WEEK AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A LEAKING TRANSMISSION HOSE AT NO CHARGE. THEY INFORMED ME AT THIS TIME THAT MY LEFT AND RIGHT REAR SEALS WERE LEAKING VERY BAD. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE A POWER STEERING LEAK. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THESE ISSUES WERE NOT ADDRESSED IN JULY WHEN THE 60,000 MILE SERVICE WAS DONE UNLESS IT JUST RECENTLY STARTED. THEY TOLD ME HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO DO THE REPAIRS AND ADVISED THAT I TAKE CARE OF IT ASAP! *TR

ADDITIONALLY, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOES WERE COMPLETELY SATURATED WITH DIFFERENTIAL FLUID, REDUCING THE ABILITY OF THE PARKING BRAKE TO HOLD THE VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIR WHICH INCLUDED REPLACEMENT OF THE AXLE SHAFT SEAL, AXLE SHAFT BEARING, AXLE SHAFT BEARING SPACER, AND PARKING BRAKE SHOE & LINING.

I JUST HAD A MAJOR REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK, WHICH WILL COST ME AROUND $3500 TO REPAIR.

MECHANIC SAID THE SPYDER GEARS IN THE REAR DIFF. HAVE LOST THEIR TEETH. NISSAN WILL ONLY SELL THE WHOLE DIFF. WHICH COSTS $2000 PLUS TAX AND LABOR. NOT COOL.

1. THIS IS PIGGY BACKING ON TSB #05092; NHTSA ITEM #10017420. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN'T A RECALL. I KNOW NISSAN DOESN'T WANT A RECALL BECAUSE THEY JUST GAVE ME A QUOTE FOR $600 TO FIX THEIR DEFECT!!! AND WHERE DOES SAFETY START INSIDE THE VEHICLE? THE SEATS! SO I'M BASICALLY ASKING NHTSA TO UPGRADE THIS TSB TO A RECALL. 2. THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT RATTLES AND MOVES CONSTANTLY. CONSEQUENCES I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT IF WE GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY FAMILY IS IN THE TRUCK. LOSE SEAT; NOT GOOD. 3. I HAVE A QUOTE THAT SHOWS THE "SEAT ADJUSTER" NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AND IT'S FOR THE LOW LOW COST OF $600. AGAIN, NO WONDER NISSAN WOULD RATHER SLIDE THIS THROUGH ON TSB RATHER THAN RECALL. THE SEAT HAS DONE THIS AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER SO THE 1/1/07 DATE IS NOT EXACT (I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2005). ALSO, THIS REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. I TRAVEL VERY FREQUENTLY SO I MISSED GETTING MY TRUCK IN UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, WHICH EXPIRED IN AUG-08. THANKS! *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN TITAN KINGCAB 4X4 WITH 36,000 MILES.

THREE DAYS LATTER IT BECAME EXTREMELY SEVERE AND WOULD MAKE A LOUD NOISE FROM THE REAREND, AND JERK EVEN WITH STARTING SLOWLY FROM A START. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AS IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REAREND WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACED. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALER THAT 60 OTHER NISSAN DEALERS IN THE US WERE WAITING FOR REARENDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ALSO.

I PURCHASED A NEW NISSAN TITAN FROM ALAN KURTH DEALERSHIP MINOT, ND. MAY OF 2005. WITHIN THE YEAR I ASKED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE "STRANGE" BRAKING EXPERIENCE. I NOTICED SOME VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT BRAKES THAT ALSO VIBRATED THE STEERING COLUMN. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL ON A TITAN HEAVY DUTY TRUCK . I AM NOT A MECHANIC AND TOOK THEIR WORD. THAT DEALERSHIP WENT OUT OF BUSINESS SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND THE ONLY OTHER NISSAN DEALER WAS IN BISMARK, A LONG WAY FROM WHERE I LIVED AT THE TIME. I DID TAKE IT TO THAT DEALER, BISMARK HONDA-NISSAN-HYUNDAI IN JULY OF 2006 IN RESPONSE TO A RECALL ABOUT ANOTHER ISSUE. NOTHING WAS MENTIONED BY THEM ABOUT ANY PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THE TRUCK WAS NOT DRIVEN THAT MUCH, CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES AND THE VIBRATION HAS BECOME WORSE AND WORSE ONCE I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO FLORIDA LAST FALL TO THE POINT THAT I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD THEN AFTER THEY INSPECTED THE TRUCK ON APRIL 23RD. 2009 THAT NISSAN HAD IDENTIFIED A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES ON THIS MODEL CALLED BRAKE JUDDER HE SUGGESTED I CALL NISSAN TO SEE HOW THEY WERE MANAGING THE PROBLEM. I TELEPHONED NISSAN CONSUMER OFFICE ON APRIL 24TH AND SPOKE WITH ANDY WHO OPENED A CASE FILE AND THAT NUMBER IS 6477694. HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO BEGIN WITH THE LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE THEM INSPECT THE TRUCK SO I CONTACTED MAROONE NISSAN IN FT LAUDERDALE AND TOOK THE TRUCK IN ON APRIL 27, 2009. I DEALT WITH THE ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER. WHEN THEY HAD FINALLY FINISHED WITH THEIR INSPECTION HE TOLD ME THAT "NISSAN WOULD NOT PROVIDE A COURTESY REPAIR SINCE THEY HAD INITIALLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 2008. I HAD RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING THAT NISSAN FAILED TO PROVIDE. 1. THE ISSUE WAS SENT OUT TO ALL NISSAN SERVICE MANAGERS ON MARCH 16, 2005. THE REPAIRS WERE NOT MADE PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. 2. THEY WERE DIRECTED TO SUPPLY A "LEGIBLE PHOTOCOPY" ABOUT THE WARRANTY EXTENSION. THEY DID NOT. THIS WAS DETAILED IN NISSAN ADVISORY NNAWB/05-01. *TR

DRIVE SHAFT RIPPED OUT OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. A SMALL EVER INCREASING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK WHEN COASTING. FROM THE VERY START OF THE NOISE TO COMPLETE FAILURE WAS ABOUT 40-MILES, BUT THE NOISE WAS ONLY LOUD ENOUGH TO HEAR WITH THE WINDOWS SHUT AND RADIO OFF ABOUT 10-MILES BEFORE COMPLETE FAILURE. TRUCK IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP, CHANCES ARE GOOD NEW DRIVE SHAFT AND ENTIRE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WILL BE NEEDED. IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. HAD THE DRIVESHAFT NOT RIPPED FREE FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL, THE REAR WHEELS COULD HAVE LOCKED UP, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO SKID OUT OF CONTROL. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BEGAN TO MAKE STRANGE NOISES SO I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $2500. THE TRUCK HAD 61,500 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY 60,000 MILES AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THE PART AT NO COST. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY REFUSED ALSO. THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED HAD A TOWING PACKAGE INSTALLED. IN MY OPINION, THE LIGHTWEIGHT REAR AXLE AND DIFFERENTIAL THAT NISSAN INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES IS INADEQUATE AND THEREFORE DEFECTIVE. NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THESE PARTS AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

I AM A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER SEEKING YOUR OFFICE'S ASSISTANCE ON RESOLVING AN ISSUE RELATED TO THE UNEXPECTED COLLAPSE OF THE REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM ON MY VEHICLE, AND ALSO TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THE DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROADS NATIONWIDE ARE EXPOSED. I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICK-UP TRUCK PURCHASED NEW IN JANUARY 2005. THE VEHICLE HAS 78,000 MILES, IS WELL MAINTAINED, AND MAINLY USED TO COMMUTE TO WORK. IT IS NOT DRIVEN OFF-ROAD, NOR IT IS USED TO CARRY HEAVY LOADS. A SHACKLE SUPPORTING THE LEFT REAR SUSPENSION LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY FAILED. THE ASSEMBLY COLLAPSED, PERFORATING THE TRUCK BED AS SHOWN ON THE ENCLOSED PHOTOS. [?FORTUNATELY?, IT OCCURRED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT WHILE DRIVING ON A PUBLIC ROAD; OTHERWISE THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC DUE TO THE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL]. I IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED THE NISSAN DEALER (1-860-448-0050). THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT-OF-WARRANTY; THEREFORE, HE HAD TO CONTACT NISSAN CORPORATION FOR INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY FOR RUST (60 MONTHS-UNLIMITED MILES). FURTHERMORE, SUCH A MAJOR STRUCTURAL FAILURE IS BEYOND ANY WARRANTY COVERAGE LIMITATIONS BECAUSE IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED, WITHIN FOUR YEARS, TO PROVIDE ONE OF ITS MAJOR INTENDED AND IMPLIED USES, WHICH IS TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION TO ITS OPERATOR AND PASSENGERS IN A SAFE MANNER AND FURTHERMORE, NOT POSE A RISK WHEN OPERATED ON THE ROADS BY EXPOSING OTHER DRIVERS AND PROPERTY TO INJURY AND DAMAGE. OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE IT BEEFED-UP THE SHACKLES ON THEIR 2008 MODELS, BUT OLDER MODELS STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. HOW CAN I EMAIL PHOTOS OF THE FAILURE. YOUR INTERVENTION IS REQUESTED. *TR

AFTER LOOKING AT THE TRUCK THE WHOLE REAR END NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (4500.00) AND THE FRONT END IS LEAKING (350.00). I HAVE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING NOR BEEN OFF ROAD. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANY VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU SEE ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS. THIS SHOULD BE A RE-CALL. *TR

WHILE COMMUTING IN MY NISSAN TITAN, THE RIDE BECAME VERY JERKY AND THERE WERE LOUD METAL ON METAL SOUNDS. THE VEHICLE ALSO SEEMED TO HAVE TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS. UPON TAKING IT TO A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER, THE TECHNICIANS CONCLUDED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILED RELEASING FLUID ON THE REAR BRAKE ROTOR AND DIMINISHING BRAKING ABILITY. *TR

RIGHT REAL AXLE SEAL LEAKING. LEAK WAS LARGE ENOUGH TO CONTAMINATE PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY, RENDERING IT USELESS. SHOULD BE COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. NO SIGN OF LEAK 15K MILES AGO DURING 60K SERVICE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE VEHICLE HAS COOPER VEON LTZ TIRES (NA), SIZE 285/60/18 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN PULLING TO THE LEFT WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. HE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WAS FLAT AND THE INTERIOR SIDEWALL HAD LARGE CRACKS. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH A SPARE. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE EXHIBITED INTERIOR SIDEWALL CRACKS, BUT THEY WERE NOT AS SEVERE AS THE DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED TIRE SHOP AND THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED REPLACING ALL FOUR TIRES. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECTIVE TIRES, BUT COULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 54,000.

OCCASIONALLY I WOULD HEAR A BANG ACCOMPANIED BY A VIBRATION WHILE MAKING TURNS. THE INTERVALS BETWEEN THE EVENTS BEGAN TO DECREASE AND WOULD OCCUR EVERY TIME I MADE A TURN. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE REAR WHEELS UNEXPECTEDLY LOCKED UP CAUSING SKIDDING. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THE REAR AXLE HOUSING AND DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY WERE REPLACED UNDER THE 5YR. / 60000MI POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY HEARD A BONG TWO DAYS LATER I FOUND A DENT UPWARD IN BED OF TRUCK AND FOUND A BROKEN SHACKLE. AFTER REPLACING PART AND LOOKING HOW IT WAS MADE YOU COULD SEE THAT IT A POOR DESIGN. ROLL METAL WITH 2 SMALL WELDS THAT PREVENT METAL FROM UNROLLING. ALL WEIGHT OF BACK OF TRUCK AND ANY JARRING CAUSE IT TO SAP. IF BOTH SIDE FAIL AND I HAD TO MAKE ANY SUDDEN MOVE YOU COULD LOOSE THE HOLE BACK SUSPENSION. I HAVE DIGITAL PICTURES OF FAIL PART IN QUESTION. *TR

HALF SHAFT CAME OUT WHILE DRIVING. (34,000 MILES) TRUCK HAS 67,000 MILES. NISSAN DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE SINCE IT IS OUT SIDE OF THE WARRANTY DESPITE THE WELL KNOWN ISSUES??? *TR

TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE LEAKS DUE TO POOR FACTORY CLAMPS. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED ON MANY OTHER FELLOW TITAN OWNERS. I HAD TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS SINCE THE TRUCK IS NOT OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS ON OUR 2005 NISSAN TITAN () DID NOT DEPLOY IN SPITE ON THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE TRUCK BEING SMASHED IN. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY WILL NOT CALL ME BACK. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE OIL SEAL LEAKING AGAIN. RIGHT SIDE WAS REPLACED IN OCTOBER 2007 WITH APPROX 45,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. NOW LESS THAN A YEAR AND A HALF LATER WITH 65,000 MILES ON VEHICLE THE SAME SEAL AGAIN NEEDS REPLACING. *TR

NISSAN TITAN SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCKS/CABLES FAILING IN COLD WEATHER. I WAS PUTTING IT OFF AS JUST A FREAK OCCURRENCE ON MY VEHICLE, UNTIL I WAS GIVING A RIDE TO SOME CHILDREN AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH PROPERLY. I NEEDED TO STRAP THE DOOR CLOSED TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE DOOR. THEN I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING. OBVIOUSLY NISSAN USED SOME SUB PAR QUALITY EQUIPMENT. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT MAYBE THEY GOT SOME BAD PARTS , BUT THEY NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I PAID ALMOST 500 DOLLARS TO GET THIS FIXED WHICH I THOUGHT WAS OUTRAGEOUS BUT FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN IT HAD TO BE DONE. *TR

FRONT DRIVE SHAFT ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN SE KING CAB "BINDED" UP ACCORDING TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THUS CREATING VIBRATION IN THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND THEREBY DESTROYING THE OIL SEAL AND CORRESPONDING BEARINGS IN THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE. ALL TOLD, MY TRUCK SITS IN A REPAIR SHOP NEEDING NEW FRONT HUBS (R AND L), A NEW FRONT DRIVE SHAFT, AND A NEW TRANSFER CASE. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS SUBSTANTIAL, AROUND FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS. I AM NOT SURE IF MY THIRD PARTY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL COVER THE DAMAGES OR NOT. I AM AWAITING WORD FROM THE WARRANTY COMPANY TO DISCOVER WHAT INDEED THEY WILL COVER BEFORE I HAVE THE TRUCK REPAIRED. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL BROKE. *TR

THE VEHICLE IS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN SE KING CAB 4X4 PICKUP TRUCK WITH APPROX. 60K MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD IN TWO WHEEL DRIVE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS THE C-CLIP THAT RETAINS THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AXLE WITHIN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED ALLOWING THE AXLE TO SEPARATE FROM THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL, DISABLING THE CAPABILITY OF THE ENGAGING FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, AND DAMAGING THE EXTERNAL SPLINES ON THE AXLE SHAFT, AS WELL AS THE INTERNAL ENGAGING SPLINES IN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED DUE TO THE TRUCK BEING OUT OF THE 60K MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BY THE TIME I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. PARTS AND LABOR ESTIMATED AT ~$3400. *TR

REAR END FAILED, TRUCK WOULD NOT DRIVE, DEALER REPLACED ENTIRE READ END ON TRUCK. *TR

WHENEVER THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW FREEZING THE DOOR LOCK/HANDLES FREEZE AND THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN OR IF I CAN GET IT OPEN IT WILL NOT LATCH. THE DOORS (BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT) HAVE FLOWN OPEN WHEN GOING AROUND A CORNER WHEN IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE CLOSED. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

JUST HEARD FROM MY NISSAN DEALER, THEY SAID MY REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING. I READ THIS COULD CAUSE BRAKING ISSUES. THIS TRUCK HAS 61,000 MILES AND THE NISSAN TITAN'S HAVE BEEN KNOW TO HAVE FAULTY REAR AXLE SEALS. DEALER WANTS ME TO REPLACE, BUT SEEM WHERE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE ESPECIALLY AT 61,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A LONG TERM WEAR ITEM. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AXEL FELL OUT. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHICH COULD OF RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE ALONG WITH PASSENGERS. C CLIP BROKE HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED YET. *TR

FRONT DRIVER SIDE AXLE PULLED OUT AND DESTROYED THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

I WISH I WOULD HAVE CHECK THIS WEBSITE BEFORE BUYING THE 05 TITAN. WENT IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND TECH.

NISSAN FAILED TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION UNDER THE 60K POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT 56K MILES, AND HAS BEEN OUT OF USE SINCE NOVEMBER 11TH. THE VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THE NORTH CAROLINA LEMON LAW: AS WITH OTHER LEMON LAWS, IT IS REQUIRED THAT AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS REPURCHASE OR REPLACE A VEHICLE THAT HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY REPAIRED WITHIN A "REASONABLE NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS". IN NORTH CAROLINA, THIS REASONABLE NUMBER IS FOUR ATTEMPTS OR IF THE CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE WAITING REPAIR FOR A CUMULATIVE TOTAL OF 20 OR MORE BUSINESS DAYS DURING ANY 12-MONTH PERIOD OF THE WARRANTY. IT HAS BEEN OUT SINCE NOVEMBER 11TH, AND THEY STILL WANT ME TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THE TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY SHOULD COVER IT NO QUESTIONS ASKED. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL IS LEAKING SO BAD THE REAR BRAKES ARE SATURATED. *TR

THE REAR AXLE SEALS HAVE HAD A SIGNIFICANT LEAK. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 26,000 MILES. THIS LEAK HAS CAUSED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID TO LEAK ONTO THE REAR BRAKES CAUSING REDUCED BRAKING ABILITY. *TR

COMMENT ON REAR-END FAILURE: REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED LEAVING A GAS STATION AT 10 MPH WITH NO TRAILER DISABLING DRIVER FROM HAVING PROPER CONTROL OF VEHICLE WITH INTERMITTENT DRIVE/POWER-TRAIN CAPABILITIES AND DISTRACTING POPPING/GRINDING SOUNDS OF FAILED COMPONENTS IN REAR DIFFERENTIAL. UPON REMOVING REAR DIFFERENTIAL INTERNAL GEARS FOUND BOTH SPIDER GEARS HAD NUMEROUS TEETH BROKEN OFF WHILE ALL OTHER INTERNAL GEARS LOOKED "NORMAL". NISSAN1 (CASE/FILE#6346683) AND MY LOCAL DEALER/SERVICE MANAGER OFFERED NO WARRANTY REPLACEMENT HELP AFTER IT WAS REQUESTED. REPAIR FROM NISSAN WAS QUOTED AT $3,604.67 FOR COMPLETE AXLE ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT AND ONLY OFFERS A 12,000 MILE X 12 MONTH WARRANTY! VEHICLE HAD 69,960 MILES AT TIME OF DEFECT/MALFUNCTION. REAR DIFFERENTIAL UPGRADED TO A DETROIT TRUETRAC (LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL) AT OWNERS EXPENSE BUT TO LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE NISSAN REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY/COMPONENTS AND REPORTED FAILURE CASES WITH MINIMUM NISSAN COOPERATION! THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ON ALL TITANS. PLEASE HELP! *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN LE WITH 61,400 MILES AND TODAY DURING MY LIGHT EVERY DAY DRIVING, MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL LET GO. *TR

AT 66,000 MILES THE REAR END SPIDER GEARS DISINTEGRATED CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE PINION GEARS AS WELL. NISSAN DOES NOT PROVIDE PARTS FOR THIS- BUT REQUIRE THE CUSTOMER TO PURCHASE THE ENTIRE REAR END WHICH COSTS $2800.00. I AM 6000 MILES OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY BUT THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER ANY TYPE OF COMPENSATION FOR A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE GEAR MATERIAL AND POOR QUALITY. MY NISSAN SERVICE WRITER SUBMITTED A REQUEST AND WAS DENIED BY NISSAN. *TR

REAR END MADE CLICKING SOUND / 63000 MILES /REPORTED HEARING A SOUND AT 20000 I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR BRAKE RECALL AND MENTIONED THE DRIVETRAIN SERVICE WRITER DID WRITE IT DOWN ON TICKET AND SAID IT CHECK OUT OK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OVER A POTHOLE, THE CONTACT HEARD LOUD NOISES COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AGO, WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD A MUCH LOUDER NOISE AND THE VEHICLE DROVE AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO GET AWAY. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, SHE DISCOVERED THAT THE LEAF SPRING PUNCTURED THROUGH THE TRUCK BED. THE CONTACT HAS PHOTOS AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

NORMAL DRIVING, NISSAN TITAN REAR LEFT AXEL SEAL HAS NOW FAILED AND IS LEAKING EXCESSIVE GREASE/FLUID OUT ON BRAKES AND WHEEL. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN REAR END GEARS WENT OUT. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE RING AND PINION GEARS ALONG WITH THE SPIDER GEAR SET UP. BASICALLY REBUILD THE ENTIRE REAREND. I HAVE READ SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ISSUE TO THIS WEBSITE. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT. I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE REAREND LOCKED UP AND I SLID OFF THE ROAD. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME WHEN I SLID OFF THE ROAD OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN, BOTH OF MY REAR AXLE SEALS FAILED WITH ONLY 48,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE FLUID LEAKS AXLE LUBRICANT BY THE REAR WHEELS, WHICH GETS ONTO THE REAR DISK BRAKES, WHICH MAKES THE REAR BRAKES INEFFECTIVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING A TRAILER. NISSAN REPLACED THE SEALS, HOWEVER THE POPULAR BELIEF OF THE CAUSE OF THIS IS A 1-WAY VALVE VENT THAT ALLOWS THE PRESSURE WITHIN THE AXLE TO ESCAPE, BUT DOESN'T LET AIR BACK INTO THE AXLE. THIS OCCURRENCE CAUSES A VACUUM INSIDE THE AXLE, WHICH PULLS ON THE AXLE SEALS AND CAUSES THEM TO AGE PREMATURELY. *TR

HAVE HAD TO REPLACE REAR AXLE SEALS TWICE ALREADY IN MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THEY LEAK SO BAD THAT I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO ADD OIL TO MY DIFFERENTIALS. BOTH FRONT AND BACK. *TR

WHEN TUNING MY TRUCK BEGAN TO "CLANK" I WAS 60 MILES FROM HOME. WHOLE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING OUT OF A TURN, I HEARD A NUMBER OF LOUD CLUNKS AND FELT TRUCK KICK. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED. CONVENIENTLY, THIS WAS AT 66K MILES, JUST 6 OUT OF WARRANTY. I WAS QUOTED NEARLY 4K TO REPAIR, BECAUSE NISSAN DOES NOT SELL THE PARTS TO REBUILD, JUST THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY, TIRE TO TIRE. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL UNDER BRAKING. NISSAN HAS IDENTIFIED THAT 2004 AND EARLY 2005 TITANS WERE BUILT WITH BRAKE ROTORS THAT ARE TOO SMALL, RESULTING IN THE ROTORS WARPING DUE TO OVERHEATING. NISSAN CALLS THIS ISSUE BRAKE JUDDERING AND HAS ISSUED THREE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING FIXING THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING AN UPGRADED (BIGGER ROTORS) BRAKE KIT. NISSAN EXTENDED THE BRAKE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE TO 36 MONTHS/36,000MILES. I AM UNDER THE MILEAGE LIMIT (31,000) BUT HAVE EXCEEDED THE TIME LIMIT BY ONE MONTH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THEY NEED TO BE WILLING TO REPLACE THE ROTORS FOR ANY VEHICLE ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED WITH THE UNDERSIZED ROTORS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT MY ROTORS ARE WARPED AND RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER IT, I SAW FLUID LEAKING DOWN FROM THE AXLE AREA ONTO THE BRAKE HEAT SHIELD. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A LEAK IN THE REAR RIGHT AXLE SEAL. SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD 40,000 MILES ON IT, IT WAS REPLACED UNDER THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. *TR

UPDATED 10-29-08 *BF UPDATED 10/30/08. *JB

BASICALLY I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN INTO THE POST OFFICE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD, CLANKING-TYPE OF NOISE. I KNEW RIGHT AWAY SOMETHING WAS HAPPENING WITH THE REAR-END OF MY 05 TITAN 4X4, AND BEFORE I COULD STOP IT MADE THE HORRIFIC NOISE ABOUT 4 MORE TIMES. I FULLY EXPECTED TO LOOK INTO MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SEE PARTS AND FLUID ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY, BUT FORTUNATELY NOTHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED. I PARKED THE TRUCK AND A MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED ME ABOUT THIS SITE AND THE PROBLEMS NISSAN WAS HAVING WITH REAR-ENDS. *TR

FRONT BRAKE JUDDER WHEN HARD BRAKING OCCURS. VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL PULLS IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. FIXED BY DEALER TWICE FOR AFTER MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS (WARRANTY) ONCE BY ME OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. AT 55,000 AND THREE SETS OF BRAKES THE JUDDER IS COMING BACK AGAIN FOR THE 4TH TIME. *TR

MY WARRANTY WAS UP @ 36,000 MILES. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AND THE RPMS WENT INTO THE "RED" WHEN I HAD PULLED AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN. I WAS GOING ONLY 15MPH. THEN THE TRUCK FREE SPUN AND GRABBED AT A HIGHER RPM DAMAGING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. AS I DROVE DOWN THE STREET, KNOCKING SOUNDS OCCURRED. THE TRUCK WILL BE TOWED ON MONDAY TO A MECHANIC TO BE REPAIRED. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AND I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A MAJOR WRECK IF THERE HAD NOT HAVE BEEN A SHOULDER TO COAST ONTO! *TR

THE DEALER STATED THAT THE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR CENTER THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED THE REPAIR CAUSED THE WIRES TO MELT AROUND THE FAN. THE AUTO CENTER REPRESENTATIVE (WHO WAS ACTUALLY THE ONE FILING THE COMPLAINT) STATED THAT THE RECALL REMEDY DID NOT ACTUALLY REPAIR THE ENTIRE FAILURE. THE REPRESENTATIVE FURTHER STATED THAT THE FAN REPAIR WAS INSUFFICIENT AND THE RECALL NOTICE NEVER DESCRIBED WHAT COULD OVERHEAT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,400 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,300.

PURCHASED A NEW NISSAN TITAN IN 2/2005. HAD THE FRONT BRAKES REPLACED AT 25,000 UNDER WARRANTY WHEN BEGAN TO FEEL VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. PRESENTLY I HAVE 57,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE SAME VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES IS HAPPENING AGAIN.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE AND ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH TITANS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE BAD THING IS IF THE LEAKING FLUID GET ON THE BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS YOUR BRAKES COULD FAIL CAUSING INJURIES TO MYSELF , MY FAMILY AND OTHER PEOPLE IF THEY WERE TO GO OUT. *TR

I OBSERVED A LEAKING REAR SEAL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY TRUCKS REAR AXLE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER GETTING A NEW DIFFERENTIAL. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED IT WAS DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. THE DIFFERENTIAL GETS TOO HOT AND THE PRESSURE OF THE HEATED LIQUID FORCES THE SEAL AT THE END OF THE AXLE TO FAIL. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT A NEW DIFFERENTIAL HAD BEEN DESIGNED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND WOULD BE INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK WHEN THE NEW PARTS ARRIVED. THIS SLICK FLUID COULD HAVE IMPACTED BRAKING ON THIS TRUCK DUE TO THE REAR DISC BRAKE ROTORS BEING EXPOSED. I CAUGHT THE LEAK EARLY AND NO FLUID HAD CONTACTED THE ROTORS. *TR

IT IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS UNDERGOING DIAGNOSTICS. BRAKES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE IN A VEHICLE. THEY CANNOT SPONTANEOUSLY FAIL. THIS HAS BEEN A GROWING PROBLEM ON NISSAN TITANS AND ARMADAS AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THANK YOU. *TR

THE FACT THAT OIL GETS ALL OVER THE BREAKS SHOULD BE REASON ENOUGH TO RECALL THIS ITEM AND GET A PERMANENT FIX PUT IN PLACE. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB 4X4, THE CARPET ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS CONSTANTLY WET, HAD THE FIREWALL RESEALED CHANGED AN A/C DRAIN AND RESEALED THE SEAM IN THE FLOOR BOARD AND IT IS STILL WET. THE DEALER HAS CHANGES THE CARPET AND THE PADDING ONCE ALREADY . IN SPITE OF ALL THIS THE CARPET REMAINS WET AFTER A RAIN. *TR

BEARING WENT OUT IN DIFERENTIAL. *TR

DRIVING OFF-ROAD AND SMALL HILLS. FRONT AXLE FAILURE, 4X4 WOULD NOT DISENGAGE, HAD TO TOW IT. IT IS AT THE DEALER PRESENT TIME. GETTING THE RUN AROUND AS FAR AS FIXING GOES. THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOME MECHANIC TO ARRIVE FROM OUTSIDE THE DEALERSHIP TO FURTHER ASSES THE PROBLEM. *TR

AT 64,000 MILES, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BLEW UP ON ME. THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000. THE BAD THING ABOUT IT IS IT IS COSTING ME $3,600 TO GET IT FIXED. NISSAN WOULD NOT HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. I JUST PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, IF THIS FAILURE HAPPENED TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY, I PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE ON THIS WEBSITE RIGHT NOW. IT FELT LIKE I WAS REAR-ENDED BY A MAC TRUCK! AND I WAS ONLY DRIVING 15MPH. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. EVEN IF THEY TAKE CARE OF MY PROBLEM, THERE MANY TITANS AND ARMADAS ON THE ROAD. *TR

1) DRIVING TRUCK UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS 2) REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE, RESULTING IN LUBE BEING SPLATTERED AROUND WHEEL, AND REAR BRAKE SYSTEM ON LEFT REAR WHEEL. 3) DEALERSHIP REPLACED LR AXLE BEARING AND SEAL. *TR

COMPLETE FAILURE OF REAR DIFFERENTIAL @ 34,000 MILES. *TR

IN COLD TEMPERATURES THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR ON OUR 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO OR WILL NOT OPEN. WHEN IT DOES OPEN IT SOMETIMES WILL NOT LATCH WHEN CLOSED SO THE DOOR WOULD SWING OPEN IF THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED. IF IT DOES LATCH WHEN CLOSED IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT WOULD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE DRIVER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE LEFT SIDE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME THE TEMPERATURE IS 30 DEGREES F OR BELOW. *TR

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS FAILED 3 TIMES. NISSAN REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE 3 REAR END. THIS COST ME 2,900.00 PLUS TOWING. THERE HAVE BEEN 6 BRAKING FAILURES. I HAVE PAID FOR THE LAST 3 BRAKE JOBS. IN ONE CASE THE FRONT BRAKES FELL OUT ON THE GROUND. NISSAN DID NOT COVER THIS THIS COST INCLUDING THE TOW. TO DATE THIS TRUCK HAS COST ME OVER 4000,00 AND AT LEAST 60 DAY OF DOWN TIME. *TR

CRACKS IN BOTH (LEFT & RIGHT) EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON THE SAME MANUFACTURING WELD. NOISE INCREASE, LOSS OF FUEL ECON. REPLACED BOTH MANIFOLDS AT COST OF APP. $2,000.00. *TR

AT ALMOST 60,000 MILES TRUCK REAR STARTED MAKING INTERMITTENT CLANKING SOUND ,TOOK TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR END HAS FAILED METAL PARTICLES FOUND IN OIL. CONTACTED NISSAN DEALER AND SAID TO BAD WARRANTY IS OVER I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO GET REPLACED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN P/U IN WHICH THE DOOR HANDLE CABLES GET FROZEN IN THE WINTER MONTHS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS AS A RECALL! I CANNOT GET IN OR OUT OF MY VEHICLE EXCEPT THROUGH THE DOOR WINDOWS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS VEHICLE IN TO MY DEALERSHIP ON 2/15/08 TO GET REPAIRED, BUT THEY HAD TO ORDER OTHER PARTS THAT THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT THEY NEEDED. THEY DIDN'T ORDER THEM OVERNIGHT AND THERE WAS NO SENSE OF URGENCY ON THEIR PART TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM! IT STILL IS NOT REPAIRED. *TR

REAR END WENT ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN COSTING ALMOST $4000 TO HAVE REPLACED. I DO NOT DRIVE OFF ROAD, ONLY TOW A 3500LBS BOAT 1/2 A MILE TWICE A YEAR. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE ON BOTH AXLES. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK. *TR

I'D LIKE SOMEONE TO CALL ME. *TR

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR A MAINTENANCE SERVICE WHEN THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME OF THE TROUBLED REAR DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB AND WHEN THE TEMPS DROP BELOW FREEZING THE DOOR HANDLES OR LATCHES FREEZE UP AND YOU CAN NOT SHUT THE DOOR, YOU HAVE TO HOLD THEM CLOSED WITH YOUR HAND WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I DID LEADING UP THE THE FAILURE OTHER THAN MAYBE WASH MY TRUCK. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $500 OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT COULD END UP KILLING A CHILD. I TOOK A FRIEND OF MINES CHILD TO SCHOOL TODAY AND THE DOOR OPENED AND WHEN I CLOSED IT EVIDENTLY DID NOT LATCH BECAUSE THE CABLE WAS FROZE UP. GOOD THING THAT HE WAS IN A CAR SEAT AND BUCKLED IN CAUSE WHEN I TURNED THE CORNER THE DOOR FLEW OPEN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN AND DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

PURCHASED 2005 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK ON 2/1/2005. ON 4/21/05 WITH 6,000 MILES, TRUCK SHOOK/SHIMMIED WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. UNDER WARRANTY, NISSAN DEALER REPLACED FRONT PADS AND RESURFACED THE FRONT ROTORS. ON 6/23/05 WITH 11,000 MILES, TRUCK AGAIN SHOOK/SHIMMIED WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. STILL UNDER WARRANTY, NISSAN DEALER REPLACED FRONT AND REAR PADS AND ROTORS AGAIN! ON 1/14/08, NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CRAPPY GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A (P265/70R18) TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE TRUCK (ALSO HAD 3 FLAT TIRES) EVEN THOUGH I ROTATED THEM REGULARLY (LESS THAN 40,000 MILES). TODAY, THE TIRE CENTER INDICATED I NEEDED NEW BRAKES. CALLED NISSAN DEALER AND AM AGAIN TAKING THE TRUCK INTO SERVICE TO CORRECT AND GET NEW ROTORS/PADS. BY THE WAY, THE WARRANTY ON MY TRUCK FOR THIS REPAIR RUNS OUT ON 2/1/08. GOING FORWARD, I WILL HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY. THIS STINKS! HOW COME THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL AND CORRECTIVE PROCEDURE IMPLEMENTED? $37,000 VEHICLE! *TR

I PURCHASED THIS 2005 NISSAN TITAN NEW. DURING A RECENT OIL CHANGE AND SERVICE AT 34,150 MILES I NOTICED FLUID LEAKING ONTO THE BOTH SIDES OF THE REAR BRAKE ROTOR ASSEMBLIES. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS BRAKE FLUID BUT UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION I DISCOVERED IT WAS GEAR LUBE FROM THE REAR AXLE. IT WAS LEAKING PAST THE SEALS AND DOWN THE BACKING PLATES AND DRIPPING ONTO THE WHEEL AND SOME OF THAT OIL BEING SLUNG ONTO THE BRAKE ROTORS THEMSELVES. I STOPPED DRIVING THE TRUCK SINCE I FELT THIS IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE AND CALLED THE DEALER. THEY ADVISED ME TO BRING TRUCK IN FOR INSPECTION WHICH I DID ON 1/3/08 AT 34,206 MILES. THEY CONFIRMED SEALS ARE LEAKING AND ORDERED PARTS. I ASKED THEM TO MAKE A NOTE ON THE SERVICE ORDER THAT I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING TRUCK UNLESS NEEDED. THEY THEN CALLED AND TOLD ME PARTS ARE IN AND TRUCK WAS BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIR ON 1/14/08 AT 34,361 MILES. THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ARE AS FOLLOWS; QTY-2 P/N:43070-7S200 AXLE SPACER, QTY-2 P/N:40210-7S210 REAR BEARING, QTY-2 P/N:43252-7S200 OIL SEAL, QTY-2 P/N:01541-0001U SNAP-RING AND QTY-1 999MP-DF100P SYNTHETIC DIFF FLUID. I AM VERY HAPPY THAT NISSAN REPAIRED AND COVERED THIS UNDER WARRANTY. BUT, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS TYPE OF FAILURE OCCURED AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. *TR

REAR SEAT BELTS (LEFT & RIGHT) HAVE NO HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS WHICH CAUSE MY GRANDMOTHER & MOTHER (BOTH ARE SHORT ABOUT 5 FT TALL) TO NOT USE THE SEAT BELT CORRECTLY OR NOT TO USE IT AT ALL BECAUSE THE BELT IS RUBBING THEIR NECKS CAUSING SLIGHT RED BURNS ON THEIR NECKS EVERY TIME THEY USE IT. *TR

REAR END FAILURE, BROUGHT TO DEALER AND REPLACED NO QUESTIONS ASKED. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER FOR SERVICE. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN TITAN AND THE OTHER DAY I WAS TAKING OFF MY RECEIVER HITCH WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY REAR AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING BAD, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN LEAKING FOR LONG CAUSE I CHECKED IT OUT THE WEEK BEFORE. I HAVE TO TAKE IT IN AND SEE WHAT THE NISSAN DEALER SAYS. *TR

AT 16,000 FIRST AXLE SEAL LEAK. THEN AT 74000 MILES SECOND LEAK. FIRST WAS FIXED BY NISSAN AND SECOND LEAK WAS TOLD COULD NOT BE FIXED,COMPLETE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD TO BE REPLACED OIL GETTING ON BRAKES AND REARS THAT COULD POSSIBLY BREAK EASILY COULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SOME TITAN TRUCKS. THIS IS THE FIRST REAR DIFFERENTIAL I HAD GO IN 48 YEARS OF DRIVING AND ATTRIBUTE THIS TO A BAD DESIGNED AND COST CUTTING BY NISSAN. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE. ON THE MORNING OF 8-21-2007 I NOTICED OIL INSIDE MY LEFT REAR WHEEL. I CLIMBED UNDER THE TRUCK AND COULD SEE CLEARLY WHERE IT HAD LEAKED OUT THE END OF THE AXLE. THE PREVIOUS DAY I HAD BEEN TRAVELING BACK TO MY HOME FROM A 6 HOUR TRIP. I FILLED UP WITH GAS ABOUT 3 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME-I DID NOT SEE ANY OIL IN REAR WHEEL (GAS CAP IS NEXT TO WHEEL). PROBLEM HAD TO HAPPEN AFTER FILL-UP-THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM BECAUSE I WAS TRAVELING AT NIGHT,70 MPH ON INTERSTATE. IF ALL FLUID HAD OF LEAKED OUT ,THAT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC AT THAT TIME. ALSO I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS SAFE FOR DIFF OIL TO BE LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE DISKS. I KNOW THAT NISSAN IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE SEALS ON TITAN TRUCKS AND THINK THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO COME UP WITH A LASTING REPAIR BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED OR INJURED. MY LOCAL DEALER REPLACED THE LEAKING SEAL. *TR

I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE GOING BUT THERE WAS POPPING NOISES COMING FROM THE REAR. THE DEALERSHIP IS REPLACING THE REAR AXLE AND DIFF. THEY WILL FURNISH ME PICTURES OF THE OLD UNIT. *TR

FAILURE OF DIFFERENTIAL ON MY 2005 NISSAN SE CREW CAB P/U.

MY VEHICLE HAD HARDLY EVER BEEN USED OF ROAD AND ONLY HAS A 35,000 MILES ON IT. I DON'T DRIVE IT HARD AND IT IS EXCEPTIONALLY MAINTAINED.

OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN 5.6 LE 4X4 OFFROAD AND TOW PACKAGE. ON 5/29/07, I WAS PULLING MY TRAVEL TRAILER AND MADE A TURN, THE REAR END MADE A LOUD AND TRUCK SHUDDERING THUMP. AFTERWARDS, EVERYTIME I ACCELERATED OR TURNED, THE REAR END WOULD THUMP AND SHAKE THE ENTIRE TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE REAR END NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. I WAS IN RICHMOND, VA BUT LIVE IN NJ, SO I DECIDED TO TRY TO GET IT HOME. PUT IT IN 4X4 HI MODE AND MADE IT. DROPPED IT OFF TO NISSAN DEALER IN NJ, THEY ARE REPLACING THE REAR END NOW, UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. *TR

DURING THE MOST RECENT OIL CHANGE, I WAS DIRECTED BY THE TECHNICIAN TO THE BACK SIDE OF THE REAR WHEELS, BOTH SIDES. FROM THIS VANTAGE POINT, YOU CAN EASILY SEE THAT LUBRICATION FROM THE REAR AXLE IS LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKE ROTOR ASSEMBLY VIA THE AXLE END SEALS. I IMMEDIATLEY CONTACTED NISSANUSA AND HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO GET ANSWERS FROM THEM AS TO WHAT, IF ANYTHING THEY WILL DO TO RECTIFY THIS CONDITION. MY EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN HAS RECENTLY EXPIRED. ACCORDING TO INTERNET FORUMS FOR NISSAN TITANS, THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS AND IT APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD. NISSANUSA CONTINUES TO GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND BY AVOIDING ANY DIALOGUE.

NOTICED ROAD NOISE THAT INCREASED WITH MILEAGE. THEN SLIGHT VIBRATION OVER TIME. HAD TIRE ROTATIONS BY OIL CHANGERS AND DEALERSHIP. THEY NOTICED NOTHING ABOUT TIRES. WHEN CONDITION GOT MORE NOTICEABLE,I WENT TO 2 TIRE SHOPS. THEY FIRST TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO GO TO A GOODYEAR SHOP BECAUSE I HAVE TIRE SEPARATION. THE SECOND WAS A GOODYEAR STORE THAT TOLD ME THAT I HAD TREAD SEPARATION AND TWISTED BELTS WHICH WERE MANUFACTURED DURING THE STRIKE AT GOODYEAR AND MADE BY OFFICE PERSONNEL. SINCE THIS WAS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE TIRE, IN MY EYES, I FELT THAT GOODYEAR SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXPENSE OF NEW TIRES. THE GOODYEAR SHOP STATED THAT THEY WILL SUBMIT THIS AS ROAD NOISE AND GET A MINIMUM L REFUND BACK TO HELP OFFSET THE COST OF NEW TIRES THAT I MUST BUY AT THE TUNE OF $700.00. OF COURSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO PUT THE SAME TIRE BACK ON THE TRUCK. ALSO THESE TIRES HAD 26,300 MILES ON THEM. I HAVE DONE NOTHING EXCEPT CHECK PRICING AT OTHER TIRE PLACES TO SEE IF I AM GETTING ANY DISCOUNT AT ALL. TOTALLY FRUSTRATED I FELT THAT GOODYEAR SHOULD PAY FOR THESE TIRES TO BE REPLACED. ALSO THEY OF COURSE WILL CHARGE ALL THEIR OTHER CHARGES, BALANCE,TIRE DISPOSALS,TIRE CHARGES,BALANCE. EVEN THOUGH CLEARLY THIS IS A GOODYEAR FIASCO. I WAS CERTAIN THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE GOODYEAR SHOP KNEW ALL ABOUT THIS DEFECT. *AK

REAR DIFFERENTIAL BROKE WHILE ACCELERATING INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC ,LEAVING THE VEHICLE POWERLESS. *AK

DURING A RECENT OIL CHANGE, THE TECHNICIAN POINTED OUT THE AXLE END SEALS WERE LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKE ROTOR ASSEMBLY ON MY SE KING CAB. THIS REDUCES THE BRAKE'S ABILITY TO STOP. I CURRENTLY HAVE 81,000 MILES ON THIS 2005 MODEL. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 75,000 MILES JUST ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO AND THIS PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY HAPPENING DURING THE WARRANTY BUT I DIDN'T NOTICE IT AS I CHANGE MY OWN OIL MYSELF MOST OF THE TIME. AFTER LOOKING OVER THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THE TITANS. NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AS THEY DID THE BRAKE PROBLEM. *AK

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILED, CAUSING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAK AT RIGHT REAR HUB. CAUSED LOW LEVEL OF FLUID IN DIFFERENTIAL. ENTIRE AXLE ASSEMBLY BEING REPLACED.*AK

WE OWN A TITAN AND ARE SATISFIED BUT HAD SOME ISSUES AS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED VEHICLE. EACH HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF UNDER WARRANTY FROM OUR DEALER ALAN JAY OF SEBRING FLORIDA, A VERY PROFESSIONAL OPERATION I MIGHT ADD. THE ONE MOST RECENT OF CONCERN CAUSED BRAKE INTERRUPTION AND WHEN I INSPECTED THE BRAKE SYSTEM ONE OF THE REAR BRAKES APPEARED TO BE LEAKING, WHICH I SUSPECTED THAT TO BE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A REAR AXLE SEAL AND REPLACED BOTH THE SEAL AND THE BEARING WHICH HAD BECOME DAMAGED. AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A QUITE COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED. WE USE THIS VEHICLE DAILY FOR BUSINESS AND ALREADY HAVE 44,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS NOT YET TWO YEARS OLD. MY CONCERN IS MY WARRANTY WILL RUN OUT WITH EXCEEDED MILES BRFORE THE TIME LIMIT AND THE OTHER AXLE CAN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY DID THEY ONLY CHANGE ONE? I WOULD LIKE THE OTHER SIDE CHANGED AS THEY ARE IDENTICAL IN DESIGN. PLEASE RESPOND TO MY REQUEST, THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN WITH A HOST OF SERIOUS ISSUES, OF COURSE THERE WAS THE BRAKE PROBLEM, RADIO WOULDN'T SHUT OFF AND THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS WEAK. THEN THE TIRES WERE BALD AT 25K THE LATEST PROBLEM IS A RATTLING OF THE ENGINE VALVES, TOOK IT THE DEALER AND THE ACKNOWLEDGED THE NOISE BUT SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNTIL IT TRIPPED A WARNING LIGHT. *JB

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE AT 22,600 MILES.*AK

I STARTED MY TRUCK, PUT IN GEAR AND IT MADE A VERY UGLY NOISE IN THE REAR. I TRIED DRIVE AND REVERSE AND IT DID THE SAME THING IN BOTH GEARS. I CALLED NISSAN, HAD THEM TOW IT AND THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE ENTIRE REAR END. I ONLY HAD 30K ON MY TRUCK WITH MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES.*JB

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW. AT 7000 MILES I STARTED EXPERIENCING SEVERE BRAKE SHUDDER WHENEVER I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT PADS AND ROTORS AND TURNED THE REAR ROTORS. BRAKES SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 7000 MILES.

2005 NISSAN TITIAN- FAILURE OR REAR DIFFERENTIAL DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT BUILD-UP. NISSAN REPLACED THE DIFFERENTIAL AND REAR DRIVE SHAFT UNDER WARRANTY (DRIVE TRAIN 5-60 WARRANTY).VEHICLE HAD 49,000 MILES ON IT. *JB

EARLY DECEMBER 06 - I NOTICED FLUID UNDER FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THAT STUB SHAFT (WHICH BOLTS TO FRONT CV) HAD PULLED OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. PUSHED IT BACK IN BUT OIL SEAL HAD BEEN DAMAGED SO IT WAS STILL LEAKING. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY WOULDN'T COVER UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO AFTERMARKET LIFT (EVEN THOUGH THEY SELL A VERSION OF MY TRUCK WITH THIS LIFT INSTALLED BY THE FACTORY). PAID $380 TO GET A NEW SEAL INSTALLED. LATE DECEMBER 06 - 2 WEEKS AFTER REPAIR I FOUND FLUID UNDER THE TRUCK AGAIN. PUSHED IT BACK IN AND LEAK STOPPED. JANUARY 07 - WHILE IN MEXICO, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING 4WD ON HARD PACKED SAND. I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK I FOUND THAT THE SAME SHAFT WAS OUT AGAIN. TURNS OUT THE SHAFT HAS SPLINES AND A SMALL CIRCLIP TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. THE CIRCLIP IS UNDERSIZED SO IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT 1 POUND OF FORCE TO SEPARATE THE 2 PIECES. THIS MOST RECENT TIME OCCURRED UNDER LOAD SO WHEN THE SHAFT SHOT OUT, THE SPLINES GOT DAMAGED. SINCE I WAS A DAY'S DRIVE SOUTH OF THE BORDER I HAD TO FILE AND THEN HAMMER THE SHAFT BACK INTO PLACE. NISSAN DENIED MY WARRANTY, AGAIN BLAMING THE LIFT FOR THE PROBLEM. I FOUND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, MOST WITHOUT LIFTS. I TALKED TO A TECHNICIAN AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN OREGON AND HE CONFIRMED THAT HE HAS SEEN SEVERAL FRONT DIFFERENTIALS WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE SUSPECTED THAT THE CV JOINTS DON'T STRETCH AS WELL WHEN WEATHER IS COLD THEREBY PULLING THE STUB SHAFTS OUT WHEN THE WHEELS ARE TURNED. MOST VEHICLES HE HAD SEEN WERE STOCK. HE ALSO SAID THAT NISSAN HAD A REDESIGNED DIFFERENTIAL THAT THE TECH'S ARE SUPPOSED TO INSTALL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A FACTORY REP. NISSAN FINALLY AGREED TO DO A ONE-TIME FRONT DIFFERENTIAL REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY. *JB

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN APPLYING BRAKE FORCEFULLY THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES DOWN FURTHER THAN EXPECTED. WHICH IN TURN, CAUSES THE CONTACT TO ALSO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE TRYING TO JUST APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN TITAN WHO DETERMINED THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5000, AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,000.*AK THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. UPDATED 04/05/07. *JB

WENT TO THE BEACH, NEXT DAY I NOTICED A TERRIBLE, NOISE/FEEL FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK, TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID IT'S THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AGAIN... *NM

WHILE TURNING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, MULTIPLE LOUD CLUNKS CAME FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND THE TRUCK HESITATED AS IF THE REAR AXEL WAS BINDING. UPON REVIEW IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS BINDING WHENEVER THE WHEELS BECAME OUT OF SYNC (STEERING LEFT OR RIGHT EVEN SLIGHTLY). THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS IF OCCURRING IN THE STREET AND NOT A PARKING LOT. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO PROMPT NISSAN TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND FIX IT. THIS IS A DEALER REPAIR ONLY ISSUE AS NO AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT PARTS CAN BE FOUND. WITH NISSAN REPLACEMENT DIFFERENTIALS AT $3000.00 EACH, I'M SURE NISSAN WOULD NOT MIND KEEPING A LID ON THIS ISSUE SO WE CAN KEEP BUYING THEIR PARTS. IT'S TIME SOMETHING WAS DONE BEFORE ANYONE SERIOUSLY GETS HURT WHEN THEIR VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPS IN HARMS WAY DUE TO A KNOWN COMMON FAILURE IN THE DRIVELINE. *NM

THE 2005 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK I OWNED WAS BEING DRIVEN AND CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE INSURANCE PAID OFF THE LOAN. NISSAN CLAIMED NO RESPONSIBILITY AND DID NOT OFFER ME ANY COMPENSATION. *NM

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB 4X4 OFF ROAD LE. THE FAILURE STARTED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS WITH A CLUNKING SOUND IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WHILE CONDUCTING SLOW SPEED TURNS. WITHIN A DAY AFTER SYMPTOMS SURFACED THE DIFFERENTIAL COMPLETELY FAILED AND WAS NOT DRIVABLE. *NM

DOOR LATCH FREEZES IN LOW TEMPS WHICH PREVENTS THE DOOR FROM CLOSING.

MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 CREW CAB LE HAS 26,000 MILES ON IT. EXTREMELY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND NEVER DRIVEN HARD. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP AND MADE AN HUGE BANG NOISE. ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE REPLACING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY. IF YOU SEARCH ON THE INTERNET, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE FRONT AND REAR DIFFERENTIALS BLOW UP ON THE 2004-2005 NISSAN TITANS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *NM

I BOUGHT MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB 4X4 LE NEW IN MAY OF 2005. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY BRAKES/ROTORS REPLACED AND RESURFACED 3 TIMES DO TO SEVER BRAKE VIBRATION. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT 7500 MILES, SECOND WAS AT 15000 MILES AND NOW AT 25000 MILES. THIS IS HORRIBLE AND VERY DANGEROUS. THE BRAKES ARE OBVIOUSLY UNDERSIZED FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS ADVERTISED TO TOW 10,000 LBS, AND I AM HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITHOUT EVER TOWING ANYTHING. *NM

WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY,THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BEGAN SHUDDERING VERY BADLY,MAKING LOUD METALLIC SNAPPING NOISES. THE TRUCK WOULD BARELY MOVE OUT OF THE INTERSECTION(10 MPH MAXIMUM).VERY,VERY SCARY CONSIDERING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC!DEALERSHIP SAID "THE ENTIRE DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED"AND THEY WOULD "EMERGENCY OVERNIGHT" AN ENTIRE NEW REAR-END. THAT WAS 2 DAYS AGO, AND THE DEALERSHIP CALLED TODAY AND SAID IT MIGHT BE READY TOMORROW. I HAVE ONLY 20K MILES ON MY TRUCK ,AND IT HAS LED A RATHER EASY LIFE(NO ABUSE,TOWING,ETC.),THE DEALERSHIP STILL WON'T TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE,OR IF I WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE OLD PARTS. *JB

TOTAL REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. *NM

LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL STARTED LEAKING ON 2005 NISSAN TITAN @22,000 MILES. OIL CAN AND DOES REACH REAR BRAKES CAUSING LOSE OF BRAKING. DEALER REPLACED OIL SEAL UNDER WARRANTY.

BAD VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING SO BAD IN FACT HAD TO LEAVE THE ROAD TO AVOID TRAFFIC. NO INJURIES TO PEOPLE, PROPERTY, OR VEHICLES. HAPPENED 2 MILES FROM HOME SO WENT HOME FIRST. A QUICK CALL TO MY ATTORNEYS OFFICE LED ME TO THE NHTS.DOT.GOV SITE. I WAS SHOCKED OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS I READ ABOUT ON THESE TRUCKS AND STILL NO RECALL? THAT'S JUST IRRESPONSIBLE! PRINTED OUT A BUNCH ON COMPLAINTS AND HEADED INTO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. WENT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER INTRODUCED MYSELF AND ASKED HIM IF THEY HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN TITANS BRAKES THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY. SO I HANDED HIM THE COMPLAINTS FROM THIS SITE AND ASKED IF HE COULD EXPLAIN IT TO ME. WITHIN MINUTES THEY ROAD TESTED MY TRUCK AND SAID YES THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WOULD FIX MY TRUCK RIGHT AWAY AND NISSAN WAS GIVING THE BRAKES ON THESE TRUCKS WARRANTIES FOR 10 YEAR OR 100,000 MILES. THEY CALLED ME A RENTAL CAR, PAID FOR IT, AND SAID THEY COULD FINISH THE WORK TODAY. WORK ORDER REPLACED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. PADS AND TORQUE MEMBERS REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACED REAR ROTORS PARTS: 2 40206-ZC00A ROTOR DISC BRAKE 1 41060-ZC027 PAD KIT - DISC 1 44060-ZC025 PAD KIT - DISC BR 4 41005-7S000 BOLT TOOK THEM A FEW HOURS TO FINISH THE REPAIRS I WAS OPTIMISTIC TO SEE THEY GOT RIGHT AFTER THE PROBLEM HOPEFULLY THAT FIXES IT. I WOULD STILL LIKE TO HAVE THAT 10Y/100K BRAKE WARRANTY IN WRITING. WE WILL SEE IF THIS IS JUST A WORK AROUND OR A FIX TIME WILL TELL. I'LL POST MORE INFO AS I RECEIVE IT. B

REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEAL BLOWN CAUSING LEAKING FLUID TO CORRUPT REAR BRAKES AND PARKING BRAKE. DEALER STATES THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM AND WILL REPLACE REAR DIFF SEALS BUT HAS NO CLUE AS TO THE ROOT CAUSE OF THESE CONTINUED FAILURES. *NM

2005 NISSAN TITAN DRIVER'S SIDE REAR END SEAL LEAK. REQUIRED REPLACEMENT BY DEALER. COULD POSSIBLY LEAK GEAR OIL ON TO REAR DISC BRAKE ROTOR. THIS OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 17,000 MILES. 18,500 APPEARS THAT SEAL MAY BE LEAKING AGAIN. *JB

DEFECTIVE REAR END. *NM

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN KC 4X4 WITH THE OFF ROAD PACKAGE AND CAME TO A STOP BEHIND A VEHICLE THAT WAS PACKED IN THE LANE THAT I WAS DRIVING IN. WHEN IT WAS SAFE TO MOVE INTO THE LEFT LANE I ACCELERATED AND HEARD LARGE CLANKING NOISES AND FELT MY TRUCK JERKED AS IF I WAS BEING REAR ENDED REPEATEDLY. TO MY SURPRISE I WAS NOT BEING REAR ENDED. MY DIFFERENTIAL WAS LOCKING; MY WHEELS WILL ROTATE AND THEN STOP ROTATING. THE SITUATION GOT WORSE WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE EITHER A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. *NM

PULLED OUT FROM A STOP SIGN AND TURNED RIGHT. STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND BANG/CLUNK. LIMPED IT HOME AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE. *JB

REAR AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE VEHICLE HAS 52.5K MILES AND HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR ANYTHING BESIDES A DAILY DRIVER ON 95% HIGHWAY USAGE VEHICLE IS SPEC'D TO TOW UP TO 9100 LBS. - HAVEN'T TOWED ANYTHING AND STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH DIFFERENTIAL. *JB

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. RECENTLY, THE BRAKES FAILED ON THE VEHICLE AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I WAS CALLED TWO DAYS LATER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO FOR ME BECAUSE THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE COMPUTER DID NOT RECORD ANY FAULT CODES. I'VE ASKED THEM TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THEY REFUSE TO DO IT. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT ITS MY RESPONSIBILITY AND THAT IF THE BRAKES FAIL AGAIN, TO BRING IT BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I'VE CALLED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND THEY ARE NOT OFFERING ANY HELP, THEY STAND BEHIND WHAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME. IN MY OPINION, NOBODY SHOULD GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS VEHICLE. IT NOW SEEMS LIKE I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SPINDLE FRACTURED MAKING THE VEHICLE PULL HARD TO THE LEFT. THE WERE NO WARNING SIGNALS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO HONORED THE WARRANTY AND PERFORMED THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS KIND OF FAILURE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IN A SUCH A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE.

WHEN FIRST PURCHASED TRUCK HAD PROBLEM WITH TRANNY AND LOCKING REAR,TOOK TO DEALER THEY RESET THE COMPUTER. NO PROBLEMS OR NOISES AFTER THAT UNTIL I WENT TO LEAVE MY DRIVEWAY FOR WORK. WHEN I TOOK OFF THE REAR LOCKED AND BANG. MY DEALER TOWED THE TRUCK AND GAVE ME A RENTAL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE WHOLE REAR DIFF WITH NEW. I GIVE PROPS TO COOPER NISSAN IN EASTON,PA FOR TAKING CARE OF MY PROBLEMS. *NM

NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS OR NOISES BEFORE REAR WENT BANG. DEALER REPLACED WITH WHOLE NEW REAR HOUSING . *JB

I WAS TAKING THE FAMILY OUT TO DINNER IN MY NISSAN TITAN. LEAVING MY HOUSE, THE TRUCK STARTED MAKING A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. THE REAR END FAILED. *NM

REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED- BOTH SEALS LEAKED AND DIFFERENTIAL WAS SLOPPY. *NM

LOUD "CLUNKING" SOUND DURING SHIFTING TRANSMISSION STARTING AT ABOUT 17,000 MILES ON BRAND NEW PURCHASED NISSAN TITAN 4X4 LE. LATER NOTICED AND SMELLED SMOKE COMING FROM LEFT REAR WHEEL OF VEHICLE. NOTICED ON FURTHER INSPECTION UNDERNEATH EXCESSIVE FLUID LEAK FROM REAR AXLE ONTO WHEEL AND TIRES CAUSING SMOKE. TRUCK BROUGHT TO LOCAL TEXAS DEALER WHO PERFORMED WARRANTY REPAIRS AT DIRECTION OF NISSAN NA. THE "ENTIRE REAR AXLE AND DIFFERENTIAL" HAD TO BE REPLACED. TRUCK WAS IN SHOP FOR 7 DAYS. NISSAN PROVIDED RENTAL VEHICLE. *JB

AT 941 MILES, 9 DAYS AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE; THE FRONT BRAKES WOULD MAKE A SOUND WHEN STEPPING ON AND LETTING OFF THE BRAKES. IT ALSO FELT LIKE THEY WERE DRAGGING. A LOT OF BRAKE DUST WAS ALSO NOTED ON THE RIMS. IT FELT AS IF THE FRONT BRAKE PADS WERE WORN OUT. THE DEALER CHECKED ALL 4 BRAKES AND GAVE MY HUSBAND A "REASON" WHY THE PADS WERE WEARING SO SOON. BRAKES ON FRONT FOUND TO BE AT 12MM WITH NO ABNORMAL WEAR...ROTORS WERE SAID TO BE OK AS WELL. ALSO NOTED A SNAPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT , SLOW TURNS, SHARP TURNS AND WHEN WE ALMOST WOULD COME TO A STOP. DURING ROAD TEST THEY SAID THEY COULD HEAR THE ABS CLICK AND IT WAS NORMAL AS WAS ALL OTHER SUSPENSION. AND FOR SOME REASON THE STATE INSPECTION STICKER HAD NOT BEEN UPDATED PRIOR TO OUR LEAVING THE LOT. *JB

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IN MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS GIVEN NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT EXACTLY WENT WRONG WITH IT. THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNK IN THE REAR END WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. DEALER REPLACED IT AFTER THREE WEEKS. *JB

1 - NOISE FROM THE BACK END 2 - THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED 3 - THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE AXLE UNDER WARRANTY. *NM

THE SEAT BELT CONTINUED TO TIGHTEN AROUND THE CHILD'S WAIST AS SHE MOVED. THE CONSUMER HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT TOO FREE THE CHILD. *NM

REAL AXLE SEAL LEAKING ONTO TIRE AND BRAKE DISC...SAFETY HAZARD. *JB

I WAS TURNING A CORNER AND THE REAR END (DIFFERENTIAL & RING AND PINION) FAILED. *JB

AFTER FILLING TRUCK WITH GAS, I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND MADE A RIGHT TURN ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. AS I WAS STRAIGHTENING THE TRUCK, I HEARD A LOUD THUNK, AND THEN THE TRUCK BEGAN LURCHING BADLY. I MADE IT HOME TAKING IT EASY ON THE GAS AND COASTING AROUND TURNS, BUT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS HOT TO THE TOUCH AFTER 1/2 MILE. *NM

I HAD A HEAVY PULSATING OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND BRAKE PEDAL DURING ROUTINE BRAKING I INFORMED MY DEALER OF THIS AT 8500 MILES AND WAS INFORMED THIS IS NORMAL. AT 9,000 MILES I WAS INSISTENT THAT THEY LOOK AT MY TRUCK AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS, PADS, TORQUE MEMBER, REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS AND MACHINE THE REAR ROTORS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WOULD NEED TO BE DONE ABOUT EVERY 6,000 TO 9,000 MILES BECAUSE THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS TOO SMALL FOR A TRUCK THIS SIZE. *NM

I PURCHASED MY NISSAN TITAN IN JAN OF 2006, AND SINCE THEN HAVE BEEN PLAGUED BY REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. THE MOST RECENT AND MOST ANNOYING HAS BEEN THE FRONT BRAKES. OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW WEEKS, MY TRUCK WOULD START TO SHUDDER VIOLENTLY WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. UPON HAVING THE PROBLEM SERVICED I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. THE ENTIRE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM WAS REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME.

REAR END FAILED, NISSAN REPLACED FAILED REAR END WITH SAME MAKE. *JB

REAR END FAILURE. *JB

ENGINE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR LIGHT WHICH ILLUMINATES THE HOT/COLD NEEDLE, IS OFFSET TO THE NEEDLE AND SHINES IN THE FACE OF THE DRIVER. THE DEALER CHANGED THE GAUGE BUT THE PROBLEM WAS THE SAME. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH NO FIX IN THE WORKS. I HAVE CHECKED THE ARMADA AND FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM. *NM

2005 NISSAN TITIAN PU TRUCK KC FRONT BRAKE AND ROTOR WHEEL SHUDDER LOSE OF BRAKE PEDAL. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT 15-20MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE FRONT WHEELS STARTED SHAKING AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE CONTACT DOES NOT RECALL HOW THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT DURING BRAKING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED; THE VEHICLE CONTINUED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND STRUCK AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS PRIOR TO THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE POLICE FILED A REPORT AT THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SERVICE DEALER WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY BEING INSPECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED AND WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION IN WRITING CONCERNING THE BRAKES. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A KNEE INJURY.

DIFFERENTIAL REAR BROKE AFTER ONLY 7100 MILES. NO TOWING EVER INVOLVED WITH THIS VEHICLE. *NM

I PURCHASED MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2005. I NOTICED A VIBRATION BEGINNING IN LATE FEBRUARY 2006 WHEN BRAKING. ON MARCH 11, 2006, THE BRAKES WERE REPORTED WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS DURING REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AT 17344 MILES. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN REPORTED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND RECOMMENDED AN UPDATED BRAKE KIT IF THE VEHICLE HAD NOT ALREADY HAD IT. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT THERE WAS NO NEED TO DO THIS WORK UNTIL THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE. THE VIBRATION HAS CONSISTENTLY WORSENED SINCE THAT TIME AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK VIBRATES WHEN BRAKING. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. I HAVE OWNED MANY OTHER TRUCKS AND NEVER REQUIRED BRAKES OR ROTOR REPAIR WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF PURCHASE. I HAVE RESEARCHED DIFFERENT WEBSITES TO DISCOVER THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS IN THIS AREA. *NM

LOUD CLUNK WHEN ACCELERATING, SLACK IN DRIVE LINE WHEN SHIFTING. DEALER REPLACED ENTIRE REAR END. *NM

UPON PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A GAS STATION THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OR MY 05 NISSAN TITAN FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP BEING CAREFUL NOT TO ACCELERATE TO FAST. THE SPIDER GEAR FAILED AND THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE WAS REPLACED IN WEEK. *NM

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WHEN THE REAR-END, LOCKED UP, AND THERE WAS A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY A VIOLENT JERKING MOTION. ALL I COULD HEAR WAS METAL ON METAL GRINDING AND MY TRANSMISSION GRINDING TO A HALT. SINCE THE REAR END HAS FAILED, THE TRANSMISSION HAS A SHUDDERING TO IT BETWEEN 30-35 MPH AND THE STEERING HAS BEEN OFF IN THE TRUCK AS WELL. IT IS HARD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL SOMETIMES, AND THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE REAR-END, BUT THE SHUDDERING AND STEERING PROBLEMS ARE STILL PREVALENT, AND THE ANSWERS I SEEM TO BE GETTING FROM THE DEALER IS THAT IT IS MY FAULT, MY PROBLEM, AND THAT I AM LOOKING FOR THINGS FOR THEM TO FIX!!!!*JB

REAR END FAILED. NO TOWING WAS DONE WITH THIS TRUCK. NOTHING USER DID CONTRIBUTED TO FAILURE. REAR END REPLACED. REPLACEMENT TOOK 25 DAYS. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATES. THE VIBRATIONS CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARD. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY BECOME WORSE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED. *AK

WAS SITTING ON A SLIGHT UPHILL WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY. HAD 2 MOTORCYCLES IN THE BACK. HIT THE GAS, HEARD A LOUD CLUNK THAT SHOOK THE WHOLE TRUCK. PULLED INTO PARKING LOT AND DISCOVERED IT WAS THE DIFF. AFTER THAT I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. ANYTIME I TURNED OR ACCELERATED THE DIFF WOULD GO CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK. DEALER PAID UP TO $35 FOR A RENTAL CAR BUT BECAUSE I HAD THE DIRT BIKES I HAD TO PAY $10/DAY OUT OF POCKET TO RENT ANOTHER TRUCK. REPAIRS NOT COMPLETED YET. *NM

BRAKE PEDAL PUSHES BACK AGGRESSIVELY, SHIMMY IN STEERING WHEEL AT SPEEDS OF 35 MPH. STEERING WHEEL JERKS AT TIMES TO RIGHT AND LEFT AT SPEEDS OF UP TO 50 MPH ALONG WITH BRAKE PEDAL PUSH BACK. THIS HAPPENED IN A MATTER OF DAYS. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. DEALERSHIP SAYS I HAVE TO PAY TO GET NEW ROTORS A BRAKES. I HAVE NOT DROVE THAT AGGRESSIVE NOR SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES TO HAVE ROTORS REPLACED, NOR DO I RIDE THE BRAKES TO HAVE MY BRAKES REPLACED THIS EARLY IN THE GAME FOR A NEW TRUCK DO THIS! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT A POSSIBLE BRAKE AND ROTOR PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I WILL NOT PUT MY FAMILY IN THIS TRUCK. THE CORPORATE PERSON I TALKED TO SAYS THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM WITH THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL WAS ISSUED NOT EVEN A WARNING WAS POSTED. THIS IS NOT GENERAL MAINTENANCE THIS IS A MAJOR(SAFETY) DEFECT. CORPORATE TOLD ME THAT THE ROTORS ARE TO SMALL FOR THE TRUCK. IF THERE IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHO GETS STUCK WITH THE BILL MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND I COVER THE GAP. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED TWO TIRES FOR ABNORMAL WEARING IN THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND THAT IS AFTER ROTATING SEVERAL TIMES. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, LIKE THE ONE FORD HAD ON ITS EXPLORER? I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR COMPANY TO ANYBODY. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE FRONT END VIBRATED. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TIRES AND THE TIRES WERE ROTATED. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

STARTED NOTICING A WHINING FROM THE REAR END, SOON MY "SLIP AND ABS" LIGHTS WERE LIGHTING ON THE DASH. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY A SENSOR AND REPLACED MY COMPLETE REAR END (FOR A SENSOR?). *NM

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE OFF ROAD AND LIGHT TERRAIN WENT HE REAR DIFFERENTIAL STARTED MAKING NOISE I TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP AND IT IS BEING FIXED BUT THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. *JB

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 THAT SEEMS TO BE BUGGED BY PARTS FAILURES (GREMLINS AS THE DEALER LIKES TP CALL THEM). THE FIRST PROBLEM (BRAKES) HAPPENED AT ABOUT 2 WEEKS OLD OR 1000 MILES. THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY FIXED THE PROBLEM(SO THEY SAID). ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. AGAIN THE DEALER FIXED IT. AT ABOUT 5 MONTHS OLD (8000 MILES) THE REAR END SEEMS TO FALL APART. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THAT WHEN THEY FIX IT, THEY WILL PUT THE UPGRADED REAR END IN, WHICH TOOK ABOUT 2 WEEKS TO HAVE DONE. AT ABOUT 7 MONTHS OLD (14000 MILES) WHILE ON VACATION IN FLORIDA, THE STEERING COLUMN DECIDED TO FALL APART, CAUSING ME TO LOOSE STEERING AND ALMOST CRASH. NOW I HAD TO BRING IT TO A NEW DEALER DOWN IN FLORIDA (WHO DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN FOR REPAIR, BUT AFTER A LONG CONVERSATION WITH NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA TOOK IT IN, FOR 3 WEEKS TO FIX THE PROBLEM). NOW AFTER 10 MONTHS (16000 MILES) OF OWNING THE TRUCK, THE REAR END HAS BROKEN AGAIN. IT IS AT THE DEALER ONCE AGAIN, WHERE I WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE (VOR ORDERED) BACK ORDERED WITH NO DATE OF ARRIVAL. I LOVE THIS TRUCK BUT JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. *NM

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE (2005 NISSAN TITAN, 12,800 MILES) - THERE WERE VERY FEW SIGNS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OF THE READ DIFFERENTIAL. I NOTICED SOME LOUD THUDS COMING FROM THE DRIVETRAIN AS I ACCELERATED. THEN WITHIN ABOUT 0.5 MILES OF DRIVING, THE THUDS WERE LOUDER AND MUCH MORE FREQUENT, AND THE TRUCK WAS NOTICEABLY STRUGGLING TO MOVE. I IMMEDIATELY PARKED IT AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE REPLACING THE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY (THE DAMAGE IS IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, BUT APPARENTLY NISSAN JUST REPLACES THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY). THE AXLE ASSEMBLY IS BACK ORDERED FOR 2 WEEKS. *JB

PULLED UP TO STOP SIGN WITH NO PREVIOUS INDICATION OF PROBLEM. WHEN I PROCEEDED TO TURN LEFT, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL STARTED MAKING LOUD CLUNKING NOISES AND SLIPPED IN AND OUT OF ENGAGEMENT. I WAS ABLE TO PUT TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE TO GET IT TO DEALERSHIP. *JB THE PROBLEM HAS NOT YET BEEN CORRECTED AS NISSAN STATES I NEED A NEW REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND THEY ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THEY CAN GIVE ME NO ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN I WILL GET MY VEHICLE BACK.

1. NO SIGNS OF ANY TROUBLE, WENT TO ACCELERATE AROUND A CORNER AND AXLE EXPLODED. 2. FAILURE CAUSED COMPLETE REAR AXLE TO BE REPLACED, LOSS OF VEHICLE USE AND TIME. 3. NISSAN TOWED TO DEALERSHIP REPLACED COMPLETE AXLE AFTER WAITING 2 WEEKS FOR A AXLE. MY DEALERSHIP WAS GREAT! KEN GARFF OREM, UTAH. *NM

ON 03/27/2006 DRIVING TO WORK IN MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN [XXX] PICKUP ACCELERATED ON ITS ON. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT MERGING IN TO TRAFFIC WHEN IT ACCELERATED FORWARD BY IT SELF AND WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. WHEN THIS ACCRUED I TRIED TO PUT IT IN TO NEUTRAL, STILL NOTHING HAPPEN, EVEN WITH BOTH OF MY FEET BARRING DOWN ON THE BRAKE THE TIRES WHERE BURNING RUBBER AND I WAS STILL MOVING SLOWLY FORWARD. FINALLY I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND IT SHUT DOWN, I WAITED A FEW MOMENTS AND TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN. AT THIS TIME IT DID IT AGAIN AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AGAIN, WAITED A FEW MORE MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN, AT THIS TIME IT STARTED CORRECTLY AND I DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO KRAFT NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR THERE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. KRAFT NISSAN TOOK THE AFTERNOON TO LOOK OVER THE TRUCK, AT AROUND 3:01 PM THE SERVICE WRITER CALLED AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND MY TRUCK IS READY TO BE PICKED UP. I SAID THAT THE PROBLEM IS REAL AND THAT THEY NEED TO FIND IT, THEY SAID IF PROBLEM CAN'T BE SEEN THEY CAN'T FIX IT. I TALK WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND THEN CALLED NISSAN AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD THE SAME THING. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND IF THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN THEY CAN TRY TO SOLVE AT THAT TIME. ALSO WAS TOLD THAT MY FOOT COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME, TOLD HIM THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE BOTH OF MY FEET WHERE PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BOARD TO STOP THE TRUCK. *JB [XXX] UPDATED 07/16/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2005 NISSAN TITAN. PULLING ONTO A HIGHWAY ON RAMP FROM A STOP THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BROKE. TRUCK WAS STILL DRIVABLE, BUT BY NO MEANS SAFE TO DRIVE. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP AND DROP OFF. *JB

1. WAS TURNING OUT OF PARKING LOT AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN I HEARD A CLANK, THEN LOSS OF POWER. I REGAINED POWER MOMENTARILY, BUT WAS NOT SURE WHAT EXACTLY HAD HAPPENED. I THEN DROVE HOME, ABOUT 1/2 A MILE, AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP THEN ASKED ME TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO THEM, ABOUT 4-5 MILES AWAY. THE DEALERSHIP RECOGNIZED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG, BUT SOONEST AVAILABLE TIME TO LOOK AT IT WAS AFTER THE WEEKEND. I LEFT THE TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT THE WAY IT WAS THEN. 2. THE FAILURE ENDED UP BEING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND SINCE THERE HAS BEEN A NATIONAL BACK-ORDER IT HAS LEFT ME WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP COULD RECEIVE THE PARTS AND INSTALL THEM. I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO THE STORE TO BUY FOOD. 3. THE DEALERSHIP ORDERED REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR WHAT WAS BROKEN AND THEY PAID FOR MYSELF TO HAVE A RENTAL CAR WHILE I WAIT FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN AND GET PUT IN. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL 30MPH ON A WET ROAD, BRAKE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED AND THERE WAS A FRONT END VIBRATION AS THOUGH THE ABS ENGAGED. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THE VEHICLE'S REAR END SLING AROUND AND STRIKING SOME BRUSH AND TREES WITH MINOR DAMAGE. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED AND THE POLICE WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY A DEALER WHICH REPLACED THE ROTORS, BUT SUGGESTED THE ACCIDENT COULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE WET ROAD CONDITIONS.

WARPED ROTORS , 4 ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR WITH LESS THAN 17000 MI. THE PROBLEM HAS JUST STARTED FOR 5TH TIME, LESS THAN 1000 MILES AFTER 4TH ATTEMPT. THE TRUCK IS ONLY USED FOR A FAMILY CAR NOT FOR HEAVY DUTY USE. *NM

I BOUGHT A CAR ON 08/06/2005 THE SALES PERSON TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A PURCHASE AND HE ASK ME TO SIGN THE BLANK FORMS AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO FILL THEM UP AND SEND THEM TO MY HOME ADDRESS WHEN I RECEIVED THE PAPERS I NEVER CHECKED THE INFORMATION. I HAVE BEEN PAYING TILL NOW BUT NOW I TRIED TO TALK TO THE SALES PERSON TO CHECK MY CAR HE TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO PAY BECAUSE I HAD A LEASE THAT WAS WHY I CALLED TO THE NISSAN MOTOR ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION AND THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT ME THEY ONLY HAD INFORMATION ABOUT SANTOS ROMERO. THAT IS WHY I WANT TO CANCEL THIS LEASE AGREEMENT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO LEASE A CAR I WANTED BUY A CAR AND THEY LIED ME. *NM

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE DURING NORMAL DRIVING. VEHICLE HAD 9,000 MILES. UPON TAKING A RIGHT TURN A LOUD CLANK WAS HEARD BY MYSELF AND PASSENGERS FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. ON MY WAY HOME I REALIZED THAT ONE TIRE WAS NOT MAINTAINING TRACTION EVEN THROUGH SLOW TURNS, AND THE CLANKING RECURRED EVERY SO OFTEN. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND HE AGREED THAT REAR DIFFERENTIAL WOULD BE REPLACED. THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF REPLACING THE UNIT IN 8 DAYS, HOWEVER IT WAS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE TO BE WITHOUT THE CAR FOR THAT PERIOD.*AK

I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 NISSAN TITAN LE. THE FACTORY INSTALLED BRAKES ARE UNSAFE AND INADEQUATE FOR THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE TERRIBLY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE FACTORY ROTORS WERE TOO SMALL FOR THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK NOW HAS 7,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TERRIBLE BRAKE JUDDERING IS BACK. IT MAKES THE VEHICLE MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO STOP. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. *JB

MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN HAS HAD A REAR END FAILURE AT 12,500 MILES. THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHEN THEY CAN GET REPLACEMENT PARTS. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPING THE BRAKE PEDAL SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO STATED THAT DURING ASSEMBLY THE DISCS AND ROTORS FOR A MAXIMA WERE PLACED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER OFFERED TO REPLACE THE DISCS AND ROTORS, BUT THE CONTACT DECLINED. THE DEALER INDICATED THERE COULD BE MULTIPLE VEHICLES PRODUCED AT THE SAME PLANT WITH THE INCORRECT BRAKING COMPONENTS.*AK

1--NOTHING/NONE 2--REAR END GEARS BROKE, HAD TO BE TOWED 3--REPLACEMENT OF REAR END. *NM

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB WHICH HAS FAULTY DOOR LATCH MECHANISMS. WHEN TEMPERATURES BECOME NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING SOME OR ALL OF THE DOOR LATCHES FAIL TO OPERATE PROPERLY. WHEN IT OCCURS IT CAUSES THE DOORS TO STAY LATCHED, IF IT OCCURS ON ALL THE DOORS AT ONCE YOU CANNOT GAIN ENTRY TO THE VEHICLE. THEY ALSO MALFUNCTION IN THE OPPOSITE, OPENING BUT NOT LATCHING LEAVING THE DOOR ABLE TO SWING FREE. I BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO MY SERVICE MANAGER AND THEY SAID THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAD HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. THEY APPLIED A GROSS AMOUNT OF SILICONE SPRAY TO THE LOCKING MECHANISM HOPING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DOOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED TWICE SINCE THEN WITH THE COLD TEMPERATURES. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND I FEEL THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY. *NM

COMPLETE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. CHILDREN WERE IN THE TRUCK. VERY UNSAFE!!! HAD TO GET TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *JB

DOOR HANDLE FREEZES AND DOOR OF VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER CLOSE. *JB

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. *NM

WHILE PUTTING GASOLINE INTO MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN IT SPILLS BACK OUT OF THE TANK. THE GAS WILL GO INTO THE TANK THEN THE PUMP WILL STOP AND THEN GAS WILL SPUW BACK OUT. THIS NORMALLY HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I CAN GET THE TANK FULL. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONE TIME, IT HAPPENS ANYTIME MY TANK IS LOW AND I AM READY TO FILL UP WITH GAS. THE TANK HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. *NM

REAR END FAILURE (MANY FAILURES HAVE BEEN REPORTED) I HAVE CHILDREN THAT RIDE WITH ME AND AM CONCERNED IF REAR END WENT AT SPEED. MINE WAS NOT A TOTAL FAILURE, YET. WHINNING NOISE AND DASH LIGHTS MADE ME BRING IT IN. THEY DID SOME TESTING AND ADVISED ME THAT THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW REAR END. TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT TILL THE NEW ONE COMES IN. I THINK THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *NM

CATASTROPHIC REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. WAS LEAVING WORK AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE, CAME TO STOP AT STOPSIGN, HIT THROTTLE TO GO AND BANG, THE REAR BLEW. AFTERWARDS THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE, BUT THE DRIVESHAFT WAS SPINNING AND BAD GRINDING AND CLUNKING SOUNDS COULD BE HEARD. I'M SURE NISSAN IS GOING TO REPLACE THE AXEL ASSEMBLY ALTHOUGH IT IS STILL IN THE SHOP. I HAVE CORRESPONDED WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN, AND THE REAR IS ALWAYS REPLACED AS A UNIT, AND NISSAN ISN'T REALLY ACNOWLEDGING THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS, ALTHOUGH SOME HAVE GONE THROUGH 3 REAR ENDS. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THEY ALL HAVE THE ELECTRONIC LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL OPTION. NOBODY WAS HURT, BUT I WOULDN'T WANT TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY. *NM

WITH 1/4 TANK OF GAS OR LESS LEFT IN FUEL TANK,GAS POURS BACK OUT WHEN FILLING FROM ANY GAS STATION.GAS PUMP WILL CLICK WITHIN 10-15 SECONDS OF GETTING GAS AND UP COMES GAS FROM THE TANK.WHEN A PUMP CLICKS,YOUR TANK IS SUPPOSE TO BE FULL.BUT IN THIS SITUATION,IT DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO BEING FULL.IT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN IT GOT AROUND 2-3 GALLONS INTO THE FILL UP.OTHER OWNERS OF THIS TRUCK(NISSAN TITAN '04-'05) HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM.DEALER HAS AVOIDED FIXING THIS ISSUE.THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN MUST FIX.A COUPLE GALLONS OF GAS POURING OUT OF THIS TRUCK AT EVERY FILL UP IS DANGEROUS FOR ME AND THE PEOPLE AROUND THE GAS STATION.I HAVE 2 KIDS AND I HESITATE EVERYTIME I FILL MY TRUCK UP WITH THEM INSIDE.PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND SEE THAT NISSAN FIX THIS PROBLEM.THE FORUM ON THIS IS FOUND AT "TITANTALK.COM(GAS TANK ISSUES)".

MY 125 LB WIFE DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE SEAT SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAG IN MY 05 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN 100% OF THE TIME, IT HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY. THE DEALER CHECKED & CONFIRMED THAT THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING NORMALLY AND STATED THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING MORE. AT THIS POINT MY WIFE IS RIDING IN OUR TRUCK WITHOUT AN AIRBAG. WHILE SHE DOES WEAR A SEAT BELT, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE COMFORT OF KNOWING THE FULL SAFETY SYSTEM IS OPERATIONAL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. RESEARCH AND OTHER COMPLAINTS POSTED HERE SHOW THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. *NM

2005 NISSAN TITAN LE 5.6 4/4 KING CAB VIN# [XXX]; I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER 10/06/05 TO REPLACE A COOLING FAN THAT THEY ORDERED 3 WEEKS AGO AND CHECK MY BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN YOU ARE STOPPED OR COMING TO A STOP. YOU HAVE TO PUMP IT UP TO BRING IT BACK UP. THEY INSTALLED THE FAN AND TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AS SOME OF THE OTHER MODELS DO THE SAME THING. THE BRAKE CYLINDER FLUID WAS FULL. IT SCARES ME TO DRIVE WITH THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR. THE FLUID HAS TO BE GOING SOMEWHERE MAYBE BYPASSING THE SEALS AS THIS IS A CLOSED SYSTEM. I HAD TO CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE TO HAVE THE FAN REPLACED AND THEY SAID THERE WERE VERY FEW REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THESE TRUCKS(3WKS FOR A FAN). I NEED HELP AS I DON'T WANT TO KILL SOMEONE OR MYSELF. NISSAN DOES NOT CARE. *NM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

NO PRIOR EVENTS LEADING TO FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN NORMALLY ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OF MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN BROKE 4 TIMES, FIRST TIME WAS AT 6,000 MILES, THEN EVERY 3,000 MILES THERE AFTER. NISSAN THEN REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE WITH A 2005 IN WHICH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS NOW BROKE 1 TIME. WHEN THE DIFFERENTIAL BREAKS THE VEHICLE IS IMMOBILIZED AND SOMETIMES LEFT IN HARMS WAY (I.E. UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, TOWING DOWNHILL AND THE DIFFERENTIAL BREAKS MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY HARD TO STOP) NISSAN HAS REPLACED 3 REAR DIFFERENTIALS IN THE 2004 VEHICLE. THEY THEN GAVE A NEW 2005 NISSAN TITAN TO ME. NISSAN HAS REPAIRED 1 REAR DIFFERENTIAL IN THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING IT AS I AM NOT SURE WHEN THE NEXT FAILURE WILL HAPPEN. THE INCIDENT DATE BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT ONE.*JB

(1)REAR END BRAKES NO MOVEMENT WHILE DRIVING (2)FORTUNATELY INCIDENT HAPPENED AT NIGHT WITH NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND NO ACCIDENT HAPPENED, HOWEVER IF THIS HAPPENED DURING THE DAY IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLES REAR END, DRIVING FORCE, FAILED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP WHILE DRIVING AND ROLL BACKWARDS WHILE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED. (3)VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO 4HI TO GET HOME, THIS OCCURED SATURDAY NIGHT, HAVE TO WAIT TILL MONDAY TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP. *JB

NISSAN TITAN BRAKES LOCKING, TIRES SCREECHING, SHAKING IN FRONT END AT ONLY 4800 MILES OF DRIVING. *JB

FRONT BRAKE SHUDDER - LESS THAN 4000 MILES - REVIEWED MANY COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA SITE OF EXACT SAME PROBLEM - WILL CONTACT DEALER AND PLAY THE GAME THAT EVERYONE ELSE SEEMS TO HAVE TO PLAY - CONSTANT TRIPS TO DEALER FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF ROTOR. WOULD SAVE SERIOUS GRIEF ON ALL PARTIES IF RECALL WAS SIMPLY ISSUED AND SITUATION FIXED BY REPLACING EQUIPMENT THAT WORKS. *JB

DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCK AND HAS TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AT 2,700 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP IS THE ONE THAT CHANGED THE BRAKES. THE DEALER SAID THAT IF THEY HAD TO CHANGE THE BRAKES AGAIN TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK IN. THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED, THE BACK ROTORS WERE RESURFACED , AND THE PADS WERE REPLACED. THE TRUCK IS DRIVING FINE NOW. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT CONTACTED NISSAN. *AK

I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE "A" STATE BLACKTOP COMING INTO A SHARP CORNER AND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE FRONT WHEELS BEGAN TO SHIMMY VERY HARD. IT CAUSED THE 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TO LOSE CONTACT WITH THE HIGHWAY CAUSING IT TO LEAVE THE ROAD AND OVERTURN. THE TRUCK WAS TOTALED AND I RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES. AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT SAVED ME. NISSAN KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT A POSSIBLE BRAKE PROBLEM UNTIL IT WRECKED ME. THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RECALLING ALL THEIR TRUCKS WITH THIS PROBLEM. IF I WOULD HAVE DIED IN THE CRASH, NO ONE WOULD KNOW THE CAUSE. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY BACK THE TRUCK FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THE PROOF OF WARPED ROTORS CAUSING THE ACCIDENT. IT ALSO APPEARED THE REAR BRAKES DID NOT WORK BECAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM WAS CONFUSED? I COULD USE SOME HELP HERE. *NM

DT: 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONSUMER STATES ON AUGUST 28, 2005 WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF CONSUMER'S VEHICLE STOPPED SUDDENLY. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THE MORE THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE MORE THE VEHICLE SHOOK. CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WENT OFF ROAD. THIS VEHICLE WAS TOO HARD TO CONTROL BECAUSE OF THE SHAKING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN LOOKED AT FOR SHAKING. THERE WAS A RECALL, AND T RECALL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. *AK

DT: THE TRAILER TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH. THE TIRE WRAPPED AROUND THE AXLE OF THE TRAILER AFTER THIS. THE TIRE WAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE LOCATION WAS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. A GOODYEAR, MARATHON. *AK

MAJOR BRAKE PROBLEM NEW ROTORS AND NEW BRAKE PADS INCREASED THE PROBLEM NOW A MAJOR PULL TO CENTER. THEY TURNED THE ROTOR ON THE BACK BRAKES. *JB

2005 TITAN DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES.*MR WHILE BRAKING THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS DUE TO THE WAY THE ROTORS DISPERSED HEAT WHICH CAUSED THEM TO WARP. *NM

I PURCHASED MY BRAND NEW NISSAN TITAN JUNE 16TH 2005 MY HUSBAND AND I DECIDED TO TAKE OUR FAMILY OWN A ROAD TRIP TO TEXAS FOR THE 4TH OF JULY. 2 WEEKS AFTER I RETURNED I HAD ABOUT 5,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND NOTICE THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WAS VIBRATING AS I STOPPED ON MY BRAKES, I CALLED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BRING IT IN AND WE WILL FIX IT , SO I ASKED WHAT WAS THE COMMON PROBLEM AND SHE SAID THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS BURN OUT AND THAT LAST MONTH THEY JUST RECEIVED THE NEW COMPONENT FOR THIS PROBLEM. NOW MY PROBLEM HAVE WITH NISSAN CORP. IS THAT I WAS OWN THE ROAD WITH MY 2 CHILDREN AND HUSBAND SOUNDS SCARY TO ME, IF THEY NEW THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WHY NOT DO A NATIONAL RECALL OR EVEN CALL THE CUSTOMERS WHO JUST PURCHASED A NEW TRUCK WITHIN THAT MONTH. BUT NO NISSAN IS TRYING TO COVER THERE BUTTS AND NOT PUT IT OUT TO THE PUBLIC BUT I TELL YOU ONE THING NISSAN CORP. IS LOOKING FOR A BIG FAT LEGAL MATTERS WITH THE CUSTOMERS. *NM

BRAKE TROUBLE/PER NISSAN REPAIR DEPARTMENT NO PERMENANT FIX AND I WOULD NEED TO BRING THE TRUCK IN EVERY 2500-4500 MILES OR WHENEVER PROBLEM OCCUERS TO HAVE BRAKES REPAIRED

I PURCHASED A 2005 TITAN 4 DOOR 2 MONTHS AGO. AT APPROX. 3000 MILES IT BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT ANY SPEED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, WHO AFFIRMED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE, AND THAT I COULD BRING IT IN FOR A TEMPORARY FIX. THEY EXCLAMED THAT THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THEIR CLAIM, AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BY THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY CONCERNING THIS MATTER.

DT: 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THERE WAS BAD VIBRATION WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. *AK *SC *JB

PURCHASED A NEW 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4-DOOR PICK-UP TRUCK IN FEBRUARY 2005. BOTH THE MANUFACTURER AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP KNEW OF AN EXISTING SAFETY PROBLEM REGARDING THE BRAKING SYSTEM OF BOTH 2004 AND 2005 TITAN PICK-UP TRUCK MODELS, BUT FAILED TO ALERT MYSELF OF THE PROBLEM. I HAD TO THREATEN TO SUE THE DEALERSHIP TO PROVIDE AND INSTALL THE MANUFACTURER'S SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT PARTS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE INSTALLED LESS THAN 60 DAYS AGO, AND THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED. WHEN I SPOKE WITH 2 SEPARATE NISSAN CORPORATION REPRESENTATIVES, THEY PROVIDED ME FALSE INFORMATION, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY CONSIDERED THE MATTER CLOSED AND IF I WAS NOT SATISFIED THEN I SHOULD CONTACT A LEMON-LAW ATTORNEY! I DEMAND THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER TO REFUND MY MONEY ENTIRELY! THEY FRAUDENTLY SOLD ME A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD. ADDITIONALLY, 2 ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS REGARDING THE DRIVER'S POWER SEAT AND THE RADIO HAVE SURFACED AND THE BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS AS WELL.

MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING SINCE NEW. CURRENT MILAGE 4,700 MILES. AT ABOUT 4000 MILES EXTREME SHUDDER AND VIBRATION IN STEERING AND BRAKE PEDAL WHEN BRAKES APPLIED AT SPEEDS ABOVE 20 MILES PER HOUR. SUSPECT FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED.

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT SAID DEALERSHIP STATED THERE WAS A DEFECT WITHIN THE BRAKE PADS/ROTORS. THE BRAKE PADS OVERHEATED OR GOT VERY HOT AND WARPED THE ROTORS. WHEN EVER THIS HAPPENED IT CAUSED VIBRATION WHEN STOPPING. VEHICLE WAS SHAKING TREMENDOUSLY, AND IT WAS HARD TO CONTROL VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. ALSO, SAID EVERY 3000-5000 MILES THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS, AND THE ROTORS. THIS WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP INSISTED THERE WAS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THIS CAUSED WEAR TO THE TWO FRONT TIRES. *AK

THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED PREMATURE TIRE WEAR AT 48,000 MILES ON HIS 2005 NISSAN TITAN. *JB THERE WAS TIRE TREAD WEAR OF 20-25% ON EACH TIRE. NISSAN SUGGESTED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS THE TIRE MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSIBILITY. *SC *JB

NISSAN TITAN PURCHASED IN MARCH, WITH APPROX 4,000 MILES THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE WHEN BRAKING. THE TRUCK HAS 5,00 MILES NOW AND SHAKES SEVERELY WHEN BRAKING ON A DOWNHILL GRADE AND MANUEVERING CURVY ROADS. IT WAS DIFFICULT AND I BELEIVE UNSAFE TO TRAVEL ANY LONGER WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHEN THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED OF THE SHAKE/SHIMMY THEY INFORMED ME OF A WAITING LIST FOR PARTS AND STATED THAT THEY NEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, THAT ALL DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA HAVE A WAITING LIST FOR THIS PART AND THAT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I DISAGREE. LIVING IN AN AREA WITH HILLS AND CURVY ROADS IT IS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE. I WILL NOT BE DRIVING THE NISSAN TITAN UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. I DID NOT HEAR OF A RECALL AND WAS SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT THE SECRETARY AT THE SERVICE DESK KNEW EXACTLY WHAT MY PROBLEM WAS WITHOUT ANYONE LOOKING AT MY VEHICLE. THIS COULD ENDANGER LIVES.

DT: CONTACT STATES AT 2500 MILES THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE WHILE BRAKING. THE ROTORS WERE ROTATED ON THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A NEW BRAKE KIT AVAILABLE, BUT THE SERVICE DEALER AND NISSAN INDICATE THE ROTORS HAVE TO BE TURNED 3 - 4 TIMES BEFORE THEY WOULD REPLACE THE BRAKES. THE ROTORS THAT ARE MANUFACTURED FOR THE VEHICLE ARE TOO SMALL FOR THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. *AK

THE FRONT END OF THE NISSAN TITAN TRUCK SHAKES EXTREMELY VIOLENTLY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THIS IS PROBLEM ON EVERY NISSAN TITAN AND NISSAN IS AWARE OF IT AND PROVIDING A REPAIR KIT OF PARTS, HOWEVER THEY ARE DOING IT EXTREMELY SLOWLY WITH A TERRIBLY INSUFFICIENT SUPPLY OF PARTS FOR THE SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM.

BRAKES AND ROTORS INAPT TO HANDLE VEHICLE WEIGHT AND STOPPING REQUIREMENTS. AT 6,000 MILES FRONT PADS WERE WORN AWAY AND WERE GRINDING INTO ROTOR ,REAR PADS AT 30% REMAINING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP NOW WAITING 5-7 DAYS FOR PARTS BECAUSE OF AVAILABILITY. CHANGING FRONT ROTORS AND PADS,RESURFACING REAR ROTORS BUT LEAVING OLD PADS ON THEM. NOT SURE IF OLD PARTS AVAILABLE

LOW BRAKE PEDAL SINCE DELIVERY. PEDAL "PUMPS UP" WITH FREQUENT USE AND FADES TO FLOOR WITH INFREQUENT USE (IE; HIGHWAY DRIVING. PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR WITH FIRM APPLICATION OF BRAKES.

WE PURCHASED A TRUCK FROM NISSAN IN OCTOBER OF 2004. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MANY TIMES AND IN DECEMBER OF 2004, IT WAS THERE OVER 30 DAYS. THE TRANSMISSION AND THE REAR END HAVE BOTH GONE OUT, WINDOWS DON'T ROLL UP AND DOWN CORRECTLY, RATTLING IN THE CAB WHERE THE VISOR AND GARAGE DOOR OPENERS ARE HELD. THE BRAKE, VDC, TOW, AND ABS SWITCH STAY ON ALL THE TIME. THE BRAKES ARE GOING OUT AND THE WHOLE TRUCK SHIMMIES. NOW IN ADDITION TO THE TRANSMISSION BEING REPLACED ONCE, IT'S SLIPPING AGAIN. NISSAN STATED THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE RENTAL ON THE 30 DAYS, BUT THAT WAS A LIE. THEY SOCKED ME WITH AN $283.00 BILL. $181.00 WAS TO FILL UP THE TANK WITH GAS!!!!!!! THERE ARE ALSO MISSING VALVES ON THE TIRES THEY THEMSLEVES TOOK OFF AND DIDN'T REPLACE AND THE ALARM GOES OFF BY ITSELF WHEN NO ONE IS AROUND. GIVE ME A BREAK...NISSAN STATES THIS DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE LEMON LAW. I NEED HELP IN THIS SITUATION. *AK

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN FULLY LOADED. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED TWICE. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. NISSAN WAS AWARE THAT THE BRAKES ON THE TRUCK HAD PROBLEMS AND NEVER TOLD ME WHEN I BOUGHT IT. NISSAN WAS AWARE THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS ALSO DEFECTIVE. THERE IS A TSB ISSUED FOR BOTH PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE BRAKES, THAT I WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BRING THE TRUCK IN ABOUT EVERY 3000 MILES AND HAVE THE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED. I WAS TOLD NISSAN IS LOOKING FOR A FIX. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS THE SAME SITUATION. NISSAN CORPORATE HAS TOLD DEALERSHIPS NOT TO FIX THE WINDOW ISSUE, THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE. THE WINDOW MAY STOP IN THE DOWN POSISTION OR IN THE UP POSITION. IN MY CASE IT HAS DONE BOTH AND FINALLY IT WOULD NOT GO UP AT ALL. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOW OPEN FOR A DAY UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO A DEALER TO BE LOOKED AT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NO FIX BUT THEY WOULD TRY THERE BEST. *AK

BRAKES VIBRATING WORPED ROTORS. THIS IS A MOJOR ENGINEERING OVERSITE. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS NOT ROBUST ENOUGH FOR THE TRUCK. IT IS UNSAFE AND IRRITATING!!*AK
