REAR AXLE SEAL FAILS AND CAUSES DIFFERENTIAL OIL TO LEAK OUT CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING.

RADIATOR FLUID MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID VIA INTERNAL COOLER IN RADIATOR CAUSING VEHICLE TO STOP MOVING ALTHOUGH MOTOR FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
Mar 26, 2019
REAR END LOCKED UP AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. OVER THE YEARS, THE REAR SEALS WOULD CONSTANTLY LEAK AND WERE REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS USUALLY BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION DURING OIL CHANGES/INSPECTIONS. I GUESS THEY DIDNT CATCH IT LEAKING AND CAUSED MY REAR END TO LOCK UP WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I WAS HEADING TO WORK AROUND 4-5 AM IN THE MORNING AND ALL MY LIGHTS ON MY TRUCK CAME ON KIND OF FELT LIKE I BLEW A TIRE AND STARTED PULLING VERY HARD. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD RATHER QUICKLY AND HAD IT TOWED. I KNOW PLENTY OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUES WITH THE EARLY MODEL NISSAN TITANS. BESIDES THAT THOUGH I HAVE BEEN PLEASED WITH MY TITAN. I HAVE OVER 500K MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. FYI THIS HAPPENED YEARS BACK BUT I WAS READING A FORUM THAT WE SHOULD TRY TO GET THIS RECALLED AND IT DID COST ME ALOT TO HAVE THE REAR END FIXED.

REAR AXEL SEAL LEAKS CAUSES FLUID TO GET ON BRAKES AND CAN CAUSE ABS FEATURE TO FAIL. PRESENTING A HAZAROUNDAFE SITUATION
Mar 12, 2019
TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN STUCK IN 4TH GEAR WHILE IN DRIVE. IT. WILL SWITCH INTO PARK, REVERSE AND NEUTRAL. WHEN THE TRUCK IS PUT ON THE COMPUTER THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES SHOWING THAT WOULD REQUIRE REPAIR THEREFORE NISSAN REFUSES TO SUBMIT ANY DOCUMENTATION HIGHER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THIS STANDARD TRANSMISSION IN ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES. ON A SIDE NOTE, I'VE HAD 2 OTHER NISSANS WITH A CENTRAL VARIABLE TRANSMISSION THAT HAVE ALL DONE THIS AS WELL. I'VE SINCE BEEN ABLE TO GET RID OF THOSE VEHICLES, BUT I AM STUCK WITH THIS ONE.

THE WELD ON THE LEFT REAR SHACKLE THAT HOLDS THE LEAF SPRING IN PLACE RUSTED THROUGH AND THE LEAF SPRING PUSHED UP THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK BED CAUSING A HOLE. IN MY OPINION BASED ON MY INSPECTION THE WELD FAILED DUE TO RUST. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2006 AND HAD CORROSION PROTECTION APPLIED. THIS TYPE OF WEAR AND TEAR SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE LIKE THIS. I HAVE TAKEN PHOTOS TO DOCUMENT THE DAMAGE. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN TO REVIEW THE ISSUE.
Sep 12, 2015
RIGHT REAR SPRING SHACKLE BROKE AT THE WELDS WHILE DRIVING ALLOWING THE LEAF SPRING TO BE THRUST UP AGAINST THE UNDER SIDE OF THE BED. BY LUCK OR OTHER I WAS TO BE TOWING OUR TRAVEL TRAILER LATER IN THE DAY FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.A CURSORY SEARCH FOUND A HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OF BROKEN SHACKLES IN MODEL YEAR 04-07. SHACKLES APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN UPGRADED IN MODEL YEAR 08. THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO SELF OR OTHERS HAD THE AXLE SHIFTED RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL.

I HEARD A VERY ABNORMAL CLUNK FROM REAR OF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING WHICH WAS INITIALLY FOLLOWED BY VERY UNSTABLE VEHICLE DYNAMICS (VEHICLE SWAYED HEAVILY FROM SIDE TO SIDE). I INITIALLY THOUGHT I'D INADVERTENTLY HIT AN OBSTACLE OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD BUT AT THE NEXT STOP I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS LEANING HEAVILY ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE (>2" LOWER THAN THE RIGHT). I INSPECTED THE UNDERCARRIAGE BUT COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG SO CHECKED TIRE PRESSURES (ALL FINE AT ~34-36PSI). NOT BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE, I ASSUMED IT WAS JUST THE WAY WE'D LOADED THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED DRIVING (WE WERE MORE THAN 6 HRS FROM HOME). AFTER UNLOADING THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, I REALISED SOMETHING ELSE WAS SERIOUSLY WRONG BECAUSE THE SEVERE LEAN WAS STILL PRESENT. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH FOR "NISSAN TITAN LEANING" LED ME TO CHECK FOR A BROKEN REAR SHACKLE. INSPECTING THE FLOOR OF THE BED WAS ENOUGH CONFIRMATION THAT THE LEFT HAND REAR SHACKLE HAD INDEED BROKEN (HUGE BULGE IN THE FLOOR OF THE BED WHERE THE LEAF SPRING SLAMMED UP INTO THE BODY). NO LESS THAN 26 SEPARATE REPORTS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THE WWW.TITANTALK.COM FORUM ABOUT THE ISSUE (PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTATION AVAILABLE). I WAS LUCKIER THAN SOME WHERE LEAF SPRINGS BROKE THROUGH THE BED FLOOR COMPLETELY (HAVE PHOTOS TO SUPPORT THIS). THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A DEFECT AND INSTEAD QUOTED $480 FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE SINCE CONFIRMED THAT NISSAN REINFORCED THE SHACKLES IN 2008 AND SUPERCEDED THE OLDER DESIGN (DAMNING EVIDENCE IN ITSELF). FOR THE RECORD, THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH MY PREGNANT WIFE, 3 YR OLD SON AND FATHER-IN-LAW AS PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. IT IS DAUNTING TO CONSIDER HOW MANY DRIVERS AND FAMILIES ARE AT RISK AS A RESULT OF NISSAN'S FAILURE TO REPORT THIS TO THE NHTSA. GUESS IT TAKES A FEW DEATHS BEFORE THE LIABILITY EXCEEDS THE RECALL COST. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A NOISE FROM MY BACKEND AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED TO FIND MY LEAF SPRING BUSTED AND STICKING THROUGH MY TRUCK BED. I CALLED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO OFFER ANY HELP BECAUSE OF IT BEING A USED VEHICLE. IT SEEMS IT WOULD BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO DO A RECALL NOW UNTIL WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED. WHEN I ASKED THE YOUNG LADY WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TIME WHEN THE OTHER SIDE GOES AND I GET INTO A FATAL ACCIDENT KILLING MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE? HER REPLY WAS THAT WE WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS THAT WHEN IT HAPPENS. WHAT LOUSY CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR
Mar 11, 2014
I NOTICED A SOUND COMING FROM MY BACKEND. WHEN I GOT HOME I OPENED MY TAILGATE I FOUND THAT MY DRIVER SIDE LEAF SPRING SHACKLE HAD FAILED AND THE LEAF SPRING HAD PUNCTURED MY BED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ONLY TO FIND OUT THE $2000 WARRANTY THROUGH WHEELZ I PURCHASED DID NOT COVER IT. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THING YET NISSAN ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

My vehicle, which I bought used with about 140,000 miles on it had cracked exhaust manifolds, which I replaced. Both were cracked and one actually fell to pieces when unbolted. One replacement cracked after about 15,000 miles, but was able to have it braised. Now, at about 180,000 miles they a spewing carbon monoxide into the cab again. This is a serious health and safety issue, and from checking Titan club web sites, it seems to be a widespread issue. I DO NOT DRIVE OFF ROAD OR SUBJECT THE TRUCK TO ABNORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I appreciate your time and consideration. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I THINK IT WAS IN 2009 WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO NISSAN TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND LIGHT SMOKE OUT OF EXHAUST. RAN DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND OUT THAT CATALYTIC CONVERTERS BROKE UP AND BROKEN MATERIAL WENT BACK (SUCKBACK) INTO ENGINE AND DAMAGED PISTON RINGS WHICH WAS CAUSING IT TO SMOKE. TOLD ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE ENGINE CAUSE IT WAS PRETTY MUCH NO GOOD. THIS TRUCK WAS 3 YRS. OLD AT THE TIME. WARRANTY WAS OUT AND WAS AND COST ME A FORTUNE TO REPLACE ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM. I HAD NO IDEA TIL NOW HOW MANY 2006 TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS TO BE RECALLED.

These units are being sold at various retailers and deceptively marketed. I purchased one with the warning label defaced. The listing stated it was a bStock item due to cosmetic damage otherwise fully functional. It was only after receiving it did I find the truth of the 2 NHTSA recalls in 2019. https://bigjeffaudio.com/products/open-box-ioxus-12v-group-31-smart-power-bluetooth-car-audio-ultra-capacitor After I brought it to their attention and a little convincing, did they add the disclaimer at the bottom of the listing. To be transparent I purchased the same item, through that specific vendor on eBay. I did capture the listing before they added the disclaimer. Ultimately they refunded the purchase and I sent the item back. The photos explicitly omit the "warning" that has large print ultracapacitor and small print, "follow this link to the the actual warning" Going further the manufacturer went as far as to post a video of an employee throwing the battery, showing that it is completely safe and instructs the viewer to hit up a distributor and go buy one now. I have captured that as well https://youtu.be/-EMm-z_WcPY As I understand it these have been sold for over a year. Big Jeff audio just added a disclaimer. It is one thing to inform the customer and quite another to sell to an unsuspecting person.

HAD A RECALL ON THE 2004-2006 AIR BAGS AND TOOK TITAN IN TO UNIVERSITY NISSAN IN FLORENCE, AL. WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL COULD NOT BE COMPLETED ON SOME OF THE 2004-2006 TITANS AND THEY WOULD CONTACT NISSAN TO GET A SOLUTION. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF WAITING I CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND THEN UNIVERSITY NISSAN TRIED AGAIN TO REPROGRAM THE AIRBAGS BUT IT STILL WOULD NOT TAKE. NOW I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS SUSPENDED THE RECALL UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT THEY CAN PRODUCE A PROGRAM TO FIX THIS RECALL. I KNOW, OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM AND NOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ? IF AIR BAGS DECIDE TO GO OFF ON MY VEHICLE, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND THE REPAIRS TO FIX IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY FOR NO REASON ? I NEED MY VEHICLE AND CANNOT PARK UNTIL THEY DECIDE TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE. I NEED SOME HELP IN GETTING THIS RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. IF YOU CANNOT HELP THEN WHERE DO I TURN FOR HELP. EMMETT JONES

MY NISSAN TITAN IS SUPPOSEDLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL, HOWEVER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, IT MAY NOT DEPLOY OR MAY DEPLOY WITHOUT ANY REASON. I HAVE TALKED TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN HATTIESBURG, MS, BUT THEY SAID IT IS NOT INCLUDED. IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN, I AM SURE NISSAN WOULD PAY DEARLY. MY NISSAN ALSO HAD THE BRAKE PROBLEM THAT YOU DID THE RECALL ON SEVERAL YEARS BACK , BUT AGAIN, MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT THE NISSAN HERE DID FIX IT AND DID NOT CHARGE ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE I GET KILLED OR INJURED BADLY.

TIRES

WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY HOME FROM WORK AND IN A SPLIT SECOND THE BACK END OF THE TRUCK STARTED BOUNCING AND BECAME HARD TO STEER. I SLOWED DOWN AND WAS GETTING READY TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER WHEN A BIG CHUNK OF MY TIRE SEPARATED AND CAME FLYING OFF OVER MY TRUCK HITTING THE CAR BESIDE ME. I SLOWED DOWN EVEN MORE AND PULLED OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY, ( ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN LESS THAN 1 MILE) WHEN I GOT OUT I WAS SO UPSET WHEN I DISCOVERED THE DAMAGE THE SEPARATION OF THE DEFECTIVE TIRE HAD CAUSED TO MY TRUCK AND THE CAR OF A VERY IRATE DRIVER THESE TIRES DID NOT HAVE MORE THAN 20,000 MILES ON THEM. THE TIRE TOTALLY WRECKED MY UNDERCARRIAGE, INCLUDING THE RODS, SUPPORTS AND LINER FOR THE WHEEL WELL, PLUS THE WHEEL WELL, REAR QUARTER PANEL AND BUMPER. THERE ARE ALSO DAMAGES TO THE FRONT QUARTER PANEL OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE A $1000.00 DEDUCTIBLE AND NOW AM UNABLE TO AFFORD REPAIRS OR TIRES, I NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK AND NEED COOPER TIRES TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES AND DEFECTIVE TIRES PLEASE. *JS

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

BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS STARTED LEAKING ALL OVER MY BRAKES AND INSIDE THE WHEEL WELL CAUSING POOR BREAKING ABILITY. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TITANS AND THAT THEY NO LONGER RECOMMEND REPLACING JUST THE SEALS BUT INSTEAD THE WHOLE AXLE. THE TECH (WHO TOLD ME HE HAD 20 YRS WITH NISSAN) SAID THAT WHEN THEY USED TO JUST REPLACE THE SEALS PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK 6 MONTHS LATER BECAUSE THE SEALS WOULD BLOW AGAIN. ALL OF THE POSTS ONLINE SAY THAT IT IS A RESULT OF AN IMPROPER VENTING SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE RELEASE OF NEGATIVE PRESSURE. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, AND NISSAN KNOWS THAT IT IS, WHY DON'T THEY DO A FULL RECALL? THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. I WAS ON VACATION WITH MY WIFE AND GRANDDAUGHTER THIS PAST WEEK WHEN I NOTICED THE BRAKING ON MY TRUCK FELT WRONG. IT TOOK MUCH FURTHER TO STOP THAN IT SHOULD. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I PULLED OVER TO A REST AREA AND NOTICED A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I CHECKED THE FLUIDS AND EVERYTHING LOOKED OK. I WENT TO A GARAGE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME WHERE THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID INTO THE BRAKE DRUMS ON BOTH REAR WHEELS AND SPINNING FLUID INTO THE WHEELS. THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO GET IT OVER TO THE NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH TITANS. THEY CONSIDER IT SAFE. BUT THEY TELL ME I NEED TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY. THE REAR BRAKES HAVE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING INTO THEM. WHICH MEANS I MAY EVEN HAVE TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING DAMAGED! THEY ALSO TOLD ME THE REAR AXLE COULD LOCK UP CAUSING MORE DANGER AND DAMAGE. THEY ADMIT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE BUT THEY WILL NOT LET THE OWNERS KNOW IN WRITING. THAT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY WOULD RATHER THE OWNER ENCURE THE HUGE EXPENSE OF REPAIRING THIS ISSUE AFTER THEIR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER THIS A RECALL. I WILL HAVE TO SPEND $3000 TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE. I AM FURIOUS AND DISAPOINTED THAT NISSAN WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE I SEE HUNDREDS OF POST.WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED? IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN FIVE YEARS YET SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I AM ONLY AT 85,000 MILES. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEIR PATHETIC RESPONSE AND REFUSAL TO FIX THIS ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE.THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE NISSAN! I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN IF THEY DON'T RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

THEY ALSO TELL ME MY BRAKES AND EMERGENCY BRAKES SHOES ARE SHOT DUE TO BEARING FLUID LEAKING ALL OVER THEM, THEY WANTED $1600.00. REPLACED ALL THE BRAKES MYSELF, WHICH WERE TOTALLY FINE....I THEN NOTICE THE SAME GRINDING NOISE PLUS ANOTHER UNDER MY DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR. BRING IT BACK TO DEALER ASKING THEM WHY. I COME TO FIND OUT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL IS SHOT ALONG WITH THE TRANSFER CASE. THIS TRUCK HAS HIGHWAY MILES, ONLY DRIVEN IN 4X4 FOR SNOW. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? I THEN PROCEED TO LOOK FOR ANSWERS ON THE INTERNET AND FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. NISSAN HAS ACTUALLY CHANGED THE PART NUMBERS FOR THE AXLE DUE TO THE ISSUES THAT ARE RELATED. THE NEW REPAIRS WILL COST BETWEEN $3600-$4000 WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD AT THE MOMENT. DRIVE SAFE TITAN OWNERS... *TR

RIGHT REAR BRAKE FULL OF OIL FROM DEFECTIVE AXEL SEAL. OIL HAS LEAKED OUT OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE REAR AXLE AND ON TO THE DISK BRAKES CAUSING THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL TO LOCK UP WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED.

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE. I NOTICED A DRIVER-SIDE REAR SEAL LEAK YESTERDAY (7/29/2009). REAR SEAL IS LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID OVER REAR BRAKES CAUSING HAZARD OF A BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB XE 2X4 WITH APPROXIMATELY 25000 MI. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2/2007 FROM DEALER. VEHICLE HAS NEVER TOWED OR BEEN OFF-ROAD. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE WITH NO ABUSE HAVING A MECHANICAL FAILURE THAT COULD AFFECT A SAFETY FEATURE SUCH AS THE BRAKES. *TR

STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. A FEW DAYS LATER A LOUD GRINDING NOISE IN THE FRONT END. TOOK THE 2006 TITAN TO SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD NEEDED TOTAL FRONT END BRAKE JOB. THE BRAKE PADS WENT THRU THE ROTORS. A FEW MONTHS LATER THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRUCK FOR SOMETHING ELSE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. TWO TO THREE MONTHS AFTER I JUST HAD IT DONE. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I JUST HAD IT DONE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I ASKED TO SEE THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD NOT LET ME IN TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM MYSELF. THEY JUST NOTED THAT I REFUSED SERVICE. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE SERVICE STATION THAT DID THE WORK (BECAUSE THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED). THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AT THAT TIME LIKE THE DEALER TOLD ME. NOW 8/21/2014 AT 53000 MILES THE FRONT END BRAKE SYSTEM IS GONE AGAIN. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. I HAD TO GO OFF THE ROAD SO I DID NOT HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I OWNED 6 NISSANS AND NEVER HAS THIS KIND OF PROBLEM BEFORE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN IS WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE TRUCK DOES NOT STOP BECAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM KICKS IN AND DOES NOT LET THE TRUCK STOP SUDDENLY WHEN NEEDED. AS OF RIGHT NOW I CAN NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO GET THE BRAKE SYSTEM REPAIRED AGAIN. THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. WAKE UP NISSAN. DO NOT LET SOMEONE DIE BECAUSE OF DEFECTS. *TR

MANIFOLD CRACK
Dec 04, 2019
COMPLETE REAR AXLE FAILURE WITH 105,400 MILES. THIS REAR AXLE WAS BUILT TO WEAK TO HANDLE THE ENGINE HORSE POWER AND THE VEHICLE CANNOT TOW 7,800 LBS. NISSAN FALSELY ADVERTISIE THAT THIS VEHICLE CAN TOW 7,800 LBS. MY VEHICLE NEVER TOWED, IT HAS NO HITHCH THE REAR AXLE COULDN'T WITHSTAND JUST PROPELLING THE VEHICLE FOR 105,000 MILES. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS JUSTIFIED FOR OWNERS IF THESE VEHICLES AFFECTED WITH THIS KNOWN DESIGN FLAW.
Mar 09, 2017
BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS WAS A RECALL. WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID IT WAS ONLY A WARRANTY ISSUE UP TO 80,000 MILES.BOTH WERE CRACKED WELL BEFORE THE 80,000 MILE. WHILE WAITING ON THE RECALL 80,000 HAS SINCE PASSED. BY DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THE DEFECT BUT DID NOT RECALL FIX THE ISSUES. I WOULD THING THAT AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD WOULD NEED TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. THIS COULD CASE SEVERAL ISSUES SUCH AS THE POSSIBILITY OF EXHAUST FUMES FILLING THE INTERIOR, ALSO WITH THE EXTREME HEAT COMING FROM THE CRACKS COULD EASILY IGNITE A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
Sep 01, 2016
I HAVE TAKEN THIS AVENUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PHONE NUMBERS THEY GAVE ME ON MY RECALL NOTICE WENT NO WHERE. IT SEEMED THE 2 NUMBERS I DID CALL WERE NO HELP SO I AM RESORTING TO THE INTERNET PROCESS THEY OFFERED. IN MY NOTIFICATION IT STATES THAT THE NISSAN TITAN/ARMADA'S - 2005-2006 MODELS - THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER FAN MOTOR HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS, THAT INADEQUATE WATER DRAINAGE ALLOWS MOISTURE TO BUILD-UP LEADING TO INCREASED TEMPERATURES IN THE MOTOR WHICH IN TURN COULD CAUSE WIRING TO MELT THE INSULATION AND OTHER PLASTIC COMPONENTS AND ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A FIRE. NOW THERE SOLUTION IS TO INSTALL A SPECIAL PROTECTOR KIT TO ELIMINATE A POTENTIAL FIRE TO OCCUR. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT IF INDEED THESE HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPEC'S THEN THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED NOT MODIFIED. I WOULD HOPE THAT THEY WOULD STAND UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO THE RIGHT THING, AFTER ALL WE PAID A GOOD SUM OF MONEY FOR THESE VEHICLES AND EXPECT THESE ITEMS WHEN THEY ARRIVE TO BE HANDLED IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER, NOT BY SOME RINKY-DINKY PART INSTALLED TO GET THEM OUT OF THIS PROBLEM THAT HAS RISEN. ALL I ASK IS THAT THIS BE LOOKED INTO, I'M NOT SAYING THE PART THEY WISH AND HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED FROM MY INFORMATION ON VEHICLES ALREADY WOULDN'T SUFFICE BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT I PAID FOR.

MY VEHICLE IMPACTED ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THE REAR AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS; STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS STOPPED WORKING IN 2008, ABS LIGHT REMAINS ON, BACKUP SENSOR WENT OUT 11-17 AND MOST RECENTLY I STARTED MY VEHICLE ONE MORNING AND SPEAKERS STARTED POPPING REALLY LOUD AND IMMEDIATELY SMELLED OF BURNED WIRES AND JUST TWO DAYS LATER VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED. AFTER CHARGING WORKED FINE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT JUST REPEATED THE SAME SITUATION. THIS VEHICLE HAS GAVE ME SO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS STARTING A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE. ALSO NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE A FRAMES WELDED JOINTS IS CRACKED. I AM A CERTIFIED WELDING INSPECTOR AND CAN SAY THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURER DISCONTINUITY. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WENT OUT YEARS AFTER PURCHASE IN 2006. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. I AM THE ONE AND ONLY OWNER AND PURCHASED IT NEW WITH ONLY 17 MILES ON IT. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD SO MANY ELECTRICAL/MECHANICAL ISSUES THAT IM STARTING TO THINK I SHOULD APPLY UNDER LEMON LAW BUT I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. DIAGNOSTIC GAVE CODE OF CRASH ZONE SENSOR COMMUNICATION ERROR. RESEARCHED ISSUE ON LINE AND SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR SNOW BELT STATES WHICH MAINE IS INCLUDED BUT NOT THE TITAN. CONTACTED NISSAN REGARDING ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER BECAUSE WE ARE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTEE? FIND IT ODD THAT SOME VEHICLES ARE BEING COVERED BUT NOT THIS ONE. PREVIOUSLY TO THE AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE DOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY LOST ALL POWER. THANKFULLY NO VEHICLE BEHIND HIM. HE PULLED OVER INTO BREAKDOWN LANE TRIED TO RESTART VEHICLE WOULDN'T START INITIALLY BUT AFTER 10 MINUTES DID START. NO CODES TO BE READ NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG ISSUE BUT OBVIOUSLY NOT SAFE TO HAVE YOUR VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SHUT DOWN AT 70 MPH.

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN TITAN WITH 47000 MILES. PARTIAL VIN "1N6BA07A0" WHILE TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL MIDAS SHOP FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE MECHANIC POINTED OUT A LEAK ON LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL. THEY QUOTED ME WITH $350.00 TO REPLACE THE SEAL. HOWEVER THEY ALSO SUGGESTED TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPT TO REPLACE UNDER A RECALL/ WARRANTY... THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED $1900.00 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR AXLE UNDER THE GUIDANCE FROM THEIR TECHNICIANS AND IT BEING OVER THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY AND/OR NO RECALL. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A RIPOFF. HERE IS A QUOTE I FOUND ON THE CLUB TITAN FORUM SITE. HTTP://WWW.CLUBTITAN.ORG/FORUMS/ARCHIVE/INDEX.PHP/T-32631.HTML "LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 8000 MILES NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL.

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

So back in October 2023 ,I noticed a lot of things go wrong at once lime the radiator had to be replaced because it was leaking everywhere. The steering went bad and started leaking. The rear main seal started leaking. The clock spring went bad. there isntons of water always in the passenger floorboard and passenger door. The fuel gauge is all over the place and never reads right. The oil pressure gauge always has been on high. The engine light, air bag light slip light, and abs light have always been on. The right rear window stopped going up and the controls on the drivers door sometimes work and sometimes don't. The Manuel shifter has never worked and I cannot put the transmission in 2,3, or 4th gear from a stand still. Always been weird knocking sound in the suspension

The contact's son owns a 2006 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while his son was driving approximately 35-45 MPH, the vehicle stalled inadvertently. The contact was unsure whether there were any warning lights illuminated. The contact's son was able to restart the vehicle and continued to drive; however, the failure reoccurred several times while driving. The vehicle was taken to Pep Boys and diagnosed the failure as a vehicle dynamic control switch, acceleration, and power train systems failure. The vehicle was not repaired. Additionally, the contact stated that the instrument cluster had failed. The dealer was not notified of the failures. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in any recalls. The failure mileage was approximately 153,000.

ON 05/22/2015, TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT OR NEAR POSTED SPEED IN MILD SUNNY WEATHER. THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF IN LANE OF TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO HESITATION, NOISE, ALARM, WARNING LIGHTS JUST SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. PULLED VEHICLE OVER TO RH SHOULDER AND TRIED TO RESTART IT WITH OUT SUCCESS.ON 05/18/2015, I HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED AND INSPECTED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS ROAD TRIP. THE TRUCK PASSED DEALER INSPECTION. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER SERVICE CENTER AND AFTER SEVERAL DAYS THE DEALER TOLD ME THE ECM HAD FAILED AND SHORTED OUT THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE REPAIR BILL WAS A LITTLE OVER $1400. I AM NOT OBJECTING TO THE COST OF REPAIR....I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRUCK JUST STOPPING ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING. IF THIS BREAKDOWN WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OR DRIVING LANES OF A NEARBY FREEWAY, OR ON A STEEP INCLINE WITH TURNS THE RESULTS MAY HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE SHORT AND FAILURE OF THE ECM WERE A RESULT OF A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM (SAME ONE THAT PASSED INSPECTION) AND HEAT SHORTED THE WIRING HARNESS. I FEEL THE WIRING HARNESS MAY BE TOO CLOSE TO THE HEAT OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND COULD HAVE BEEN ISOLATED AS NOT TO CAUSE FAILURE. UPDATED 8/31/15*CN UPDATED 10/23/2017*CN

THEY REPLACED WITH IDENTICAL DEFECTIVE PIECES THAT I AM POSITIVE WILL CRACK LIKE THE ORIGINAL ONES..PLEASE CHECK ONLINE TITAN FORUMS AND YOU WILL SEE IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALMOST EVERY TITAN..MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS THEY "AUTOMATICALLY CHECK EVERY TITAN" FOR THIS ISSUE..I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CAMPAIGN BECAUSE IT IS SO COMMON AND NOT FROM DRIVER ERROR/ABUSE, AND ONCE ANY TITAN IS OUT OF THE 8 YEAR/80000 MILE COVERAGE IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR TOTALING OVER 2,000 DOLLARS! MOST TITAN OWNERS REPORT A TICKING SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD ESPECIALLY UNDER COLD START UP-I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS ON MINE SO I HAD NO IDEA MINE WERE CRACKED THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO INSPECT AS MANY TITANS AS POSSIBLE FOR THIS EMISSIONS ISSUE. *TR

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

SEAT BELTS
3 complaints
THE REAR SEAT SEAT-BELTS OF MY NISSAN TITAN TRUCK WILL TIGHTEN INTO A LOCKED POSITION CAUSING THE PASSENGER TO BECOME IMMOBILIZED AGAINST THE SEAT BACK. THE ONLY WAY TO UNDO THE LOCKED SEAT-BELT IS TO COMPLETELY DISENGAGE IT, AND THEN RE-LOCK IT. HOWEVER, IT'S THEN JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT LOCKS UP AGAIN FORCING THE PASSENGER TO UNLOCK IT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD, BECAUSE THE PASSENGER HAS TO UNDO THEIR SEAT-BELT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION SO THEY CAN MOVE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SEAT BELTS ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIX THEM. I HAVE VERIFIED WITH OTHER 2006 NISSAN TITAN OWNERS AND THEY HAVE NOTED THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE NISSAN DEALER ADMITTED THEY HAVE HAD OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO REDESIGN THE REAR SEAT BELTS OR USE DIFFERENT TYPES THAT WON'T TIGHTEN AND LOCK UP WHEN PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY SITTING IN THEM, WHICH CREATES THIS SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I ALWAYS INSIST THAT ANYONE RIDING WITH ME USE THE SEAT BELTS, BUT I HAVE NOTED ON OCCASION THAT SOME HAVE RELEASED THEM WITHOUT TELLING ME, BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT HAD LOCKED UP ON THEM, CAUSING TOO MUCH DISCOMFORT. MAYBE YOU CAN GET NISSAN TO CORRECT THIS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY WON'T LISTEN TO ME (THEY SIMPLY REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT WITH A SIMILAR DEFECTIVE ONE). *TR

THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE SHACKLE BLEW APART RESULTING IN THE SPRING ALMOST BREAKING THOUGH THE BED METAL.

I'VE OWNED SEVEN DIFFERENT TRUCKS IN MY LIFETIME AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY INCIDENT LIKE THIS HAPPEN. I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE A GOOD, HARD LOOK AT THE TYPE OF MATERIALS AND DESIGN INVOLVED IN THIS BRACKET, AS IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BROKEN ON A 3 YEAR OLD TRUCK, DRIVEN ON-ROAD WITH 58,000 MILES ON IT.

WATER HAD BEEN DRIPPING ONTO THE WINDOW LEDGE BELOW THE LEAK FOR SOMETIME DUE TO THE CONCENTRATION OF WATER SPOTS. THE LOCAL DEALER IDENTIFIED THE LOCATION OF THE LEAK (WITH PICTURES) AND HAD THE WINDOW PULLED AND RESEALED BY A LOCAL SPEEDY AUTO GLASS. UPON RECEIPT OF THE VEHICLE, I WAS GIVEN INSTRUCTION NOT TO CLOSE THE DOORS TO HARD AND TO WAIT AT LEST 48 HOURS BEFORE WASHING. APPROXIMATELY 72 HOUR AFTER RECEIPT OF THE VEHICLE I WASHED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED WATER LEAKING FROM THE SAME SPOT. *NM

DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY IN NISSAN TITAN. TRUCK FLOOR GOT HOT AT ONE POINT. LATER TRUCK SPUTTERED AND SHUT ITSELF DOWN. I LET IT COOL DOWN AND IT DROVE FINE FOR A WHILE. NEXT DAY ALL OF US IN THE CAR WERE A LITTLE SICK AND NAUSEATED. CAR DROVE FINE THE REST OF THE TRIP AND IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME UP. LOOKED UP THE CODES WHICH WERE THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAD LOSS EFFICIENCY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEAL FOR A COMPLETE DIAGNOSIS. DEALER CONFIRMED ALL 4 CAT CONVERTERS WERE DEAD AND IT PROBABLY CAUSED BY A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWS THAT NISSAN TITANS HAVE A HISTORY OF CRACKS IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS NOT ONLY RUINS THE CAT CONVERTERS BUT EXHAUST FUMES LEAK INTO THE CABIN CAUSING A HEALTH RISK. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THIS BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM YET. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER A RAINSTORM THIS VEHICLE (NISSAN TITAN 2006) WAS BEING DRIVEN LATE AT NIGHT ON AN UNPAVED COUNTRY ROAD IN THE VICINITY OF WEBSTER PARISH, LA. AS THE ROAD WAS WET AND THE VISIBILITY WAS VERY LIMITED IT WAS BEING DRIVEN NO FASTER THAN ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THEY RAN INTO A RUT IN THE ROAD WITH THE LEFT FRONT TIRE AND THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. WHEN THE VEHICLE RAN INTO THE RUT IN THE ROAD IT TILTED VERY SLIGHTLY AND THEN RIGHTED ITSELF. THERE WAS NO EXTERIOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PEOPLE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN DRIVEN TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONTACTED NISSAN WHO SAID THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED PROPERLY AND THEY WOULD NOT PAY ANY PART OF REPLACING THEM OR THE SEAT BELTS. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE ALSO SAID THAT THE VEHICLES' COMPUTER SENT OUT AN 'ERROR CODE' THAT THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED OVER. ALSO, WHEN WE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH ANOTHER NISSAN TRAINED AND CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN, WE WERE TOLD THAT 7 OUT OF 10 TITANS HAVE ISSUES WITH THEIR COMPUTERS AND THAT THE SENSOR UNDER THE VEHICLE IS PRONE TO COME LOOSE. IT DOESN'T SEEM LOGICAL THAT A MINOR INCIDENT LIKE THIS COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SEAT BELTS UNLESS THE SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE WAS DEFECTIVE. IT COST MORE THAN $5,000 TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS AND THE SEAT BELTS AND NISSAN WOULD NOT PAY ANY OF THIS AMOUNT. *TR

TRAVELING IN HEAVY MORNING TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE SIMPLY QUIT IN THE MIDST OF HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES. IT WOULD NOT FULLY RESTART BUT WOULD ONLY ROUGH IDLE A TIME OR TWO. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE IPDM/ECM HAD FAILED. THE PARTS WERE REPLACED AND AS SOON AS I BEGAN LEAVE THE REPAIR FACILITY THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT ONE OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAD FAILED...DUE TO RAW FUEL BEING DUMPED INTO IT AS RESULT OF THE FAILURE OF THE IPDM/ECM. A FEW DAYS LATER, AS I WAS RESEARCHING CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ONLINE, I CAME ACROSS A NISSAN RECALL - NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 10V517000 AND REALIZED THAT THIS WAS THE EXACT SITUATION BUT THAT I HAD NOT RECEIVED NOTICE OF SAID RECALL. I CONTACTED NISSAN REGARDING THIS SITUATION AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIRS AND THEY ADVISED THAT I'D HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ONE OF THEIR DEALERS FOR INSPECTION BEFORE THEY'D CONSIDER REIMBURSING. I DID SO AND THEY DID REIMBURSE FOR THE IPDM/ECM REPAIRS. HOWEVER, WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE...WHICH WAS AN IMMEDIATE RESULT OF THE IPDM/ECM FAILURE, THE DEALER (AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS) INDICATED THAT I'D HAVE TO GET AN ESTIMATE & "RESTART" THE PROCESS. WHILE DOING SO, I LEARNED OF NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF THIS VERY SAME THING HAPPENING WHEN IPDM/ECM FAILS & DUMPS RAW FUEL INTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. SO, I OBTAINED THE ESTIMATE FROM A NISSAN DEALER AND RECONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND BEGAN THE PROCESS AGAIN. IN THE MEANTIME, I DID LEARN THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH A DAMAGED CONVERTER AS IT CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL...THEREBY CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE ROAD...FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. NISSAN HAS NOW REFUSED TO PAY TO REPAIR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH WAS DAMAGED BY THE FAILURE OF THEIR RECALLED PART...AND I AM WONDERING IF YOUR OFFICE CAN HELP ME IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION. *TR

I OWN A 4X4 LOADED 2006 TITAN LE WHICH IS MY PRIMARY FAMILY VEHICLE. AROUND 80K, ECM MODULE WENT OUT CAUSING CAR TO STALL OUT AND LOSE ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC (WITH MY KIDS). LUCKY NOT TO BE NAILED BY AN ON-COMING CAR, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MODULE WAS REPLACED DUE TO RECALL. ONE WEEK LATER WHILE VACATIONING IN THE MOUNTAINS THE BATTERY RANDOMLY FRIED, WE REPLACED IT. HOWEVER IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING, THE ANTI-THEFT ALARM WOULD RANDOMLY SOUND OFF, THE DVD PLAYER WOULDN'T WORK (HASN'T WORKED SINCE), THE SUNROOF WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND WOULDN'T OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY. ONCE WE RETURNED, THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG (EXCEPT THE DVD PLAYER, WHICH NO ONE COULD EXPLAIN). ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE FOUND THAT THE FIRST CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD BLOWN..FOLLOWED NOT LONG AFTER BY CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND THE DRIVERS SIDE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BAD..DEALERSHIP WANTS $3000 JUST FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS!!! I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPLACEMENT! THIS CLEARLY IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND NOT A ISOLATED CASE, NISSAN MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! I HEAR RUMORS OF A CLASS ACTION...IT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!! I'M HOPING THEY DO THE RIGHT THING AND JUST FIX IT, WITHOUT HAVING TO GET LAWYERS INVOLVED. *TR

THE MECHANIC STATED THAT HE COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS HAPPENED GIVEN THE YEAR OF THE TRUCK. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION HE RECOMMENDED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE BE REPLACED AS WELL, BEFORE IT BROKE ALSO, HE STATED THAT IT WAS VERY THIN METAL. THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS PURCHASED AT THE A DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS INCIDENTS WHERE THIS PART HAS BROKEN CAUSING SIMILAR DAMAGE. REPAIRS TO THE TRUCK WILL ALSO REQUIRE REPLACING THE TRUCK BED POSSIBLE. THIS TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN OFF ROAD NOR HAS IT BEEN USED TO HAUL ITEMS, IT HAS A FIBERGLASS BED COVER ON IT.

The truck was last driven on Friday and sat all weekend until the problem was discovered Monday morning.

MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAS HAD MOISTURE INSIDE OF MY DRIVERS HEADLIGHT SINCE IT WAS NEW. THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 02/20/2014 AND ASKED FOR A REVIEW OF THE DEFECT AND REPAIR. I DOCUMENTED THE DEFECT AT HANLEES NISSAN PER NISSAN REQUEST AND FORWARDED THE INFORMATION TO THEM. I AM TOLD SINCE THE VEHICLE IS BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ASSIST ME. I CONTEND THAT THIS DEFECT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CREATES A HAZARD FOR LAMP FAILURE AND DISTORTS LIGHT EMISSION FROM THE HEADLIGHT WHEN IN USE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE AND FOUND THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS HAVING ISSUES WITH WATER TRAPPED INSIDE THE LIGHT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RESPONSE FROM NISSAN AND BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED OCCURRENCE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEFECT AND HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO REMEDY THE ISSUE OR ISSUE A REFUND FOR MY TITAN THAT I PURCHASED NEW. *TR

TRAVELING 20 TO 25 MPH, UP A HILL, IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD "BANG". THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED TO THE RIGHT, STRIKING A TREE. NEVER WOULD YOU EXPECT A VEHICLE TO BRAKE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO THROW YOU INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I BELIEVE THAT THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL ISSUED. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND TRANSFER CASE HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE FRONT AXLE HAD BACKED OUT RESULTING IN FLUID LEAKING OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT HAD BEEN REDESIGNED. *TR

SITTING OVERNIGHT WITH TEMPERATURE IN THE 40'S, WHEN PUTTING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE,IT WOULD KEEP DROPPING OUT OF GEAR. THE TRUCK DROVE FINE WHEN MANUALLY SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS. PROBLEM CONTINUED FOR MOST OF A YEAR BUT DID NOT GENERATE AN ERROR CODE. FINALLY DEVELOPED AN ERROR CODE INDICATING PROBLEM IN FIRST GEAR OF THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY WITH TCM. THIS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF VALVE BODY INTERNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH HAD BEEN CONTAMINATED BY AN UNDETECTABLE RADIATOR TO TRANS COOLER LEAK ALSO REQUIRING THE RADIATOR TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM, FOR WHICH NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING, OTHER THAN PUTTING A SPECIAL COATING ON BOLTS INTERNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION TO DETECT THE PRESENCE OF COOLANT. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. IT COULD BE EASILY PREVENT BY THE INSTALLATION OF A SEPARATE TRANSMISSION COOLER. *TR

WHILE WAITING FOR MY WIFE TO COME OUT OF A STORE WITH TRUCK RUNNING I NOTICED A LIGHT FLICKERING IN THE STORE WINDOW. MY WIFE CAME OUT OF THE STORE AND GOT INTO THE TRUCK. WHILE BACKING OUT I NOTICED THE FLICKERING LIGHT IN THE WINDOW COMING WITH ME. WHEN I STOPPED THE TRUCK I NOTICED SMOKE COMING UP OVER MY HOOD THEN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK STARTED TO GET WARM. I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL AND TOLD MY WIFE THAT I THINK MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK, WENT TO THE FRONT AND SAW THE CONDENSER FAN MOTOR ON FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITH A CAN OF COKE THAT WAS ON THE GROUND. A LITTLE WHILE LATER IT FLAMED UP AGAIN AND HAD TO GET A BUCKET OF WATER FROM THE STORE CLERK. THE FIRE CAUSED OVER $4100.00 IN DAMAGE. I HAD A RECALL ON THIS CONDENSER FAN MOTOR, HAD IT TAKEN CARE OF IN FEBRUARY 2012. CAUGHT FIRE ON 09/02/2013. *TR

GOING HOME FROM WORK, WHILE DRIVING EVERY TIME I PUT THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL ON I NOTICED THE LIGHT AT THE DASHBOARD FLASHES SO WEIRD AND THEN DISAPPEAR. I MADE FIVE RIGHT TURNS THAT NIGHT ALL ACTING THE SAME THING. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE GARAGE AND HAD IT CHECKED THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE WIRING INSIDE THE LAMP ASSEMBLY WAS MELTED, THE WIRE WAS TIED WITH PLASTIC STRING WRAP SO TIGHT THAT MADE THE INSULATION OF THE WIRE MELTS AND CREATED A SHORT CIRCUIT. THE WHOLE INSIDE OF THE COMBINATION LAMP ASSEMBLY REAR, RH OF MY TRUCK WAS MELTED. THEY CUT THE PLASTIC STRING WRAP AND THEN PUT SOME ELECTRICAL TAPE ON THE WIRES, THEY HAVE A HARD TIME OF PUTTING THE LAMP ASSEMBLY BACK INTO THE TRUCK AND UNTIL NOW I DID NOT REPLACE THE RH REAR COMBINATION LAMP ASSEMBLY. *TR

MY 2006 TITAN STARTED VIBRATING LIKE RUNNING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS ON SIDE OF HIGHWAY. TOOK STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM SPLIT AND CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACED $7313.56. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ANYTHING. AFTER READING MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING ON OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL ON THE COOLING SYSTEM THAT CAN CAUSE THIS AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. *TR

ABOUT A MONTH AGO I NOTICE A WEIRD NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK WHENEVER I WOULD SLOW DOWN AND SOMETIMES SPEED UP. AS THE WEEK WENT BY I NOTICE THE NOISE GETTING LOUDER. IT STARTED OUT WITH A CLICKING SOUND THEN IT INTENSIFIED WITH A CLUCKING SOUND. AFTER HAVING A LOCAL SHOP LOOK AT MY TRUCK THEY FOUND FLUIDS BY THE RIGHT BREAK, WHICH INDICATED THAT A SEAL HAD GONE BAD AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE CLUCKING AND CLICKING NOISES ARE FROM THE GEARS IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. PIECES OF THE GEARS HAD BROKEN OFF. THEY ESTIMATED A JOB LIKE THIS WOULD RUN ABOUT $3500!!! I DO NOT HAVE THE KIND OF MONEY! I HAVE READ ALL THE TREADS POSTED BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE CONTACT NISSAN'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AND GOT NOWHERE! PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW I CAN HAVE NISSAN PAY FOR THIS!!! *TR

ON A RECALL FOR A FAULTY ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE). THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN, HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER. NISSAN COVERED THIS ECM. DURING THE REPAIR THE MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING AND RECOMMENDED THAT THEY BE REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE COST TO REPAIR WAS ESTIMATED AT $750.00. WHILE WEB SURFING FOR THE REPAIR PROCESS FOR THE SEALS I RAN ACROSS MANY COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN INCLUDING MODELS FROM 2004 TO PRESENT (2012). BASED ON THE FEEDBACK FROM OTHER TITAN OWNERS, THIS IS A COMMON FLAW WITH THE VEHICLE AND A COSTLY ONE AT THAT. ALSO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER WITNESSED REAR AXLE SEALS FAILING IN A VEHICLE. MOST SEEM TO LAST THE LIFE TIME OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURE'S RESPONSIBLITY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PARTS CREATING AN UNSAFE AND USELESS MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TT

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

TOOK TRUCK BACK TO DEALER ON JULY 9TH 2010 AND THEY AGAIN SAID ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 27,980 MILES. THE SERVICE MAN SAID THE ROTORS WERE NO LONGER COVERED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HAVE ROTORS TURNED. I WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE GOOD FOR 30,000 MILES. I THINK IT'S STRANGE THAT THE ROTORS NEED TO BE TURNED EVERY 10,000 TO 15,000 MILES. SERVICE MAN ACTED LIKE THIS WAS A COMMAND THING AND THAT IT WAS THE DRIVERS FAULT NOT THE COMPANY'S. I ASKED ABOUT RECALLS AT THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT ME I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE DEALER SINCE. NISSAN NEEDS TO SEE THIS AS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND MAKE A RECALL. *TR

I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN IN JULY 08. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN THE ENGINE ROARED THE TRUCK QUICKLY MOVED FORWARD AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED THE TRUCK WAS A CEMENT SPINDLE FENCE. I DESTROYED 10 FEET OF FENCE AND MY INSURANCE HAD TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO NISSAN AND THEY CHECKED IT, BUT THEY STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY THEN PERFORMED THE 30000 MILE MAINTENANCE FOR APPROX $600. THE NISSAN SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT I MUST HAVE PUSHED THE GAS AND THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME TO CAUSE THE ACCIDENT. I THEN TOOK THE TRUCK TO AN OPEN FIELD AND PUSHED THE BRAKE AND THE GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME AND THE TIRES JUST SPUN AND THE TRUCK DID NOT MOVE. I TRIED THE SAME THING IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT, THE TIRES SPUN AND THE TRUCK DID NOT MOVE. I ENDED UP GETTING RID OF THE TRUCK BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID IF THE TRUCK SPED FORWARD ON ITS OWN AGAIN AND I COULD NOT STOP IT I MIGHT GET HURT OR KILLED. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO ROAR AND CAUSE THE TRUCK TO SPEED FORWARD. I FILED A POLICE/ACCIDENT REPORT WITH THE LOCAL POLICE. *TR

1. I OWN A 2006 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB SE. AFTER NORMAL DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS AND 2 MONTHS THE VEHICLE REQUIRES AN ALIGNMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE CAMBER. THERE WAS NO CAMBER KIT INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE FROM THE FACTORY. EVERY MANUFACTURER KNOWS THAT PART OF PROPER MAINTENANCE IS REALIGNING THE VEHICLE. 2. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO FIND OUT IF OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS BLOGS OF 2006 NISSAN TITANS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR I HAVE FOUND THAT NISSAN FAILED TO PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO ALIGN THE VEHICLE. 3. NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. WHEN NISSAN IS CONTACTED THEY INFORM ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY SINCE I HAVE EXCEEDED THE 36,000 MILES. I AM TOLD THAT I HAVE TO PURCHASE A CAMBER KIT FROM NISSAN IN ORDER TO ALIGN THE VEHICLE. *TR

I DRIVE DAILY ON UNLIT ROADS, AND THIS PROBLEM FREQUENTLY OCCURS. MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN'S AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING CONTROLS RESPONSE TO CHANGE IS SLOW WITH HEADLIGHTS ON (10-15 SECONDS TO MOVE FROM FLOOR TO DEFROST), CAUSING A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN NEEDING TO DEFROST AT NIGHT. NISSAN INDICATED THIS SAFETY PROBLEM IS THE RESULT OF POOR DESIGN FOR TITANS SINCE THE ENGINEERS CHOSE TO USE THE VARIABLE VOLTAGE FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT RHEOSTAT TO POWER THE HVAC CONTROLS. THIS 15 SECOND DELAY CAUSES A SAFETY PROBLEM SINCE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT SINCE THE DRIVER MAY BE UNAWARE THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS FOGGED UNTIL ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMES INTO VIEW. WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN MODES (IN THIS CASE, HEAT TO DEFROST), BY THE TIME AIR BEGINS TO BLOW OVER THE WINDSHIELD, THE TRUCK HAS TRAVELED 1100 FEET WITHOUT ME BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD (AT 50 MPH). THIS HAS MADE ME RUN OFF THE ROAD, OR NEARLY RUN OFF THE ROAD, NUMEROUS TIMES (AT LEAST 10 THAT I REMEMBER). THE ONLY OTHER OPTION IS TO TURN THE INSTRUMENT PANELS TO FULL BRIGHT WHICH BLINDS ME DURING NIGHTTIME DRIVING (JUST AS UNACCEPTABLE AS A FOGGED WINDSHIELD). NISSAN CURRENTLY HAS NO REPAIR FOR THIS MALFUNCTION. *NM
