I have a defective exhaust manifold that’s letting gases in the cab
May 09, 2025
The rear differential and axle has an inevitable failure with no warning lights or much anything else besides some possible noises! The vent designs are terrible it causes overheating and internal turmoil over time seals start leaking, bearings and internal gears Get weak from over hot /cold repeated cycles allowing moisture to build and accumulate in the 3rd member where it’s supposed to be completely sealed and dry other then gear oil to lube and maintain proper function. My personal and current experience is I’m without my truck, missing work and very . Very thankful that it didn’t lock up on the highway/freeway that I drive too and from work about 85 miles daily! The best part is there’s no fast cost efficient resolution! the differential open carrier with spider gears held in place by a shaft pin and tiny 8 mm bolt that broke causing the pin to slide back and forth (pinball effect) into the ring /pinion, side gears, spider gears untill it either gets jammed in the gears and instantly locks up or slowly fractures away untill gears held by nothing, collide causing catastrophic failure! I Happened to notice the inside of rear wheel wet because when I was exiting the highway I heard a faint sound almost like a bolt or rock or something hit underneath the truck so I took a glance at everything and noticed that wheel grease soaked and a little fluid on the bottom of transfer case.. long story short I drove it approximately 1 mile to a shop there it still sits needing complete different axle and differential or a whole new carrier and all bearings/seals spacers possibly axle shaft don’t know yet and dealership can not get any parts for it!! The parts are obsolete! None! Don’t sell them, don’t make them….. they recommend and can only replace whole unit around 3-5k thousands of dollars I wish I had!! All of the research I’ve done tells me this is a HUGE problem! Theres hundreds of thousands of people that this has happened too! Asking why isn’t there a recall??!

MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS FAILED UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK. APPARENTLY, THIS IS NOT A NEW ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS. I WAS DRIVING 50MPH WHEN THE REAR END MADE A POP AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO DRIVE.

HAD TRANSMISSION SERVICED AND ABOUT 5000 MILES OR LESS LATER TRUCK STARTED HESITATING AND FINALLY STOPPED. INVESTIGATED AND FOUND TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ANTIFREEZE UNDER TRUCK. HAD TOWED TO NEAREST AMMCO STATION AND THEY DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS ANTIFREEZE IN TRANSMISSION SMELLED BURNED AND SAID A COMPLETE RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION WAS RECOMMENDED SINCE ALL OF THE TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS HAD BEEN EXPOSED TO THE ANTI-FREEZE AND WERE BURNED OR OVERHEATED. TALKED WITH NISSAN OF GASTONIA NC. AND THEY STATED THEY COULD INSTALL A NEW RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR AND EXTERNAL AFTER MARKET TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER FOR 5,100 DOLLARS WITH A 12 MONTH 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. THEY SAID THEY HAD A LARGE NUMBER OF FRONTIER, XTERRA, AND PATHFINDER PROBLEMS WITH THE INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COOLER INSIDE THE RADIATOR FAILING ALLOWING ANTI-FREEZE TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYING IT. THEY SAID THEY HAD NOT SEEN THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TITANS ANS ARMADAS. THEY HAD A CAMPAIGN TO HELP OWNERS OF THE OTHER MODELS BUT NOT THE TITANS OR ARMADAS. THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR NISSAN OF GASTONIA SAID THEY COULD LOOK AT MY TRUCK BUT THERE WOULD BE A DIAGNOSE FEE IF I DIDN'T LET THEM DO THE WORK. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT AMMCO SAID HE WOULD MATCH NISSAN'S OFFER AND GIVE ME A 36 MONTH UNLIMITED MILEAGE WARRANTY COVERING PARTS AND LABOR, SO I WENT WITH AMMCO. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT AMMCO STATED HE HAD NUMEROUS TITAN AND ARMADA VEHICLES COME INTO HIS SHOP AS WELL AS THE OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE INTERNAL TRANS/COOLER LETS ANTI-FREEZE LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND IT FRIES THEM. I JUST HAD MY TRANSMISSION SERVICED AND THE RADIATOR FLUSHED AND FILLED. MY 2007 TITAN ONLY HAS 65000 MILES ON IT, AND IF NISSAN KNEW THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS THEY COULD HAVE WARNED ME AND I WOULD HAVE HAD THE RADIATOR CHANGED OUT. THIS IS REALLY BAD BUSINESS IN MY OPINION.

2007 NISSAN TITAN NEEDED ALL 4 ROTORS AND BRAKES REPLACED AT 20K MILES. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO AGE. ON OCCASION, WOULD FEEL SLIGHT WOBBLE DURING BRAKING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BUT NOTHING TOO BAD. THEN ONE DAY LAST WEEK THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE STARTED PRODUCING A HORRIBLE METAL ON METAL SOUND, EVEN WHEN NOT BRAKING. IN MY OPINION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT A TRUCK WITH 20K LIGHT USE MILES SHOULD NEED TO HAVE ALL FOUR ROTORS REPLACED. *TR

TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH, EARLY MORNING, DRY CONDITIONS. I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL, BECAUSE I WAS HAVING SEVERE STOMACH PAIN. I LEANED MY HEAD BACK AND NEXT THING I MUST HAVE PASSED OUT. I AWOKE AFTER STRIKING A TELEPHONE POLE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. THE IMPACT WAS DEAD CENTER. THE LICENSE PLATE IS THE EXACT SHAPE OF THE POLE, INFACT THE SENSOR IS DIRECTLY BEHIND AND UNDER THE BUMPER FROM THE PLATE. THE SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK AND THE AIRBAGS NEITHER ONE DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE CRUISE WAS SET, AND THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS, SO I MUST HAVE HIT THE POLE GOING 30-35 MPH. THE POLE IS APPROXIMATELY 3' FROM ROAD. I SUFFERED CHEST AND BACK INJURIES, AND STILL RECOVERING. LUCKILY I'M STILL ALIVE! THE INTERIOR LOOKS PERFECT LIKE IT NEVER WAS WRECKED, ON THE OTHER HAND THE TRUCK WAS TOTALED. THE BUMPERS ENDS WHERE LITERALLY WRAPPED AROUND THE POLE. IT WAS A 2007 NISSAN TITAN, LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. I DO HAVE PHOTOS. *TR

GAS GAUGE SHOWS INCORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE NISSAN PEOPLE'S FIX IS TO KEEP THE GAS TANK OVER HALF FULL. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION ABOUT 3 OR 4 MONTHS AGO, BUT WHEN WE TOOK OUR TRUCK IN, WE WERE TOLD WE HAD TO RECEIVE A APPOINTMENT FROM NISSAN BEFORE THEY COULD DO ANYTHING. OUR LETTER STATES "THE VEHICLE COULD STALL, WHICH COULD CREATE AN UNSAFE CONDITION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH." WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED. PLEASE HELP US. *TR

THERE IS AN ONGOING FAILURE OF REAR AXLE SEALS AND BEARINGS IN OUR 2007 NISSAN TITAN. THIS RESULTS IN THE SLIP AND BRAKE LIGHT BURNING CONTINUOUSLY AS WELL AS THE REAR AXLE LEAKING OIL. WE HAVE HAD THIS REPLACED TWICE UNDER WARRANTY BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. THEY WERE CHANGED AT 34,712 AND 58,205 MILES RESPECTIVELY. THE LIGHTS ARE ON AND THEY ARE LEAKING AGAIN AT 75,209 MILES. THERE IS A NISSAN TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM WITH 2004-2007 TITANS. WE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WILL NOT COVER A PROBLEM OUT OF WARRANTY THOUGH IT IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. IT APPEARS TO US THEY PUT CHEAP REPAIRS IN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED THEY WANT THEIR CUSTOMERS TO HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THEIR DESIGN FLAW CORRECTLY. WE HAVE CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WERE GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND THEY WERE GOING TO INVESTIGATE AND LET US KNOW IF THEY COULD HELP. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS WE WERE TOLD NISSAN WOULD NOT HELP US RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE LEAKING OIL PRESENTS A DANGER WHEN IT GETS ON THE BRAKES AND MAKES IT UNSAFE AS WELL AS THEY POSSIBILITY OF PARTS FAILURE IN THE REAR END. I HAVE BEEN ON MANY TITAN FORUMS ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM. WE ARE ALSO SENDING THIS INFORMATION TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA. *TR

The contact’s friend owns a 2007 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while driving and hauling a sailboat, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop immediately and rolled to a stop. The ABS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The dealer was able to duplicate the failure during a test drive. The dealer stated that the front-end of the vehicle was defective. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was ongoing, and the vehicle failed to immediately stop while depressing the brake pedal. The manufacturer was contacted and informed him that the statute of limitation had expired and no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.

METAL BRAKE LINE RUPTURE AND COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. THE REAR METAL BRAKE LINE CROSSOVER FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO THE DRIVER SIDE THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE REAR AXLE JUST ABOVE THE JACKPOT COVER RUPTURED. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR EACH TIME IT WAS PRESSED WITHOUT HESITATION AND HAD NO BRAKING CONTROL AT ALL. BRAKE FLUID WAS EVERYWHERE UNDER THE TRUCK, ON THE DRIVE WHEELS, AND ON THE PAVEMENT CAUSING ITS OWN HAZARDOUS CONDITION ALONG WITH NO BRAKES. FORTUNATELY THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT WHILE I TOW MY 10,000LB TRAILER DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THAT WOULD NOT HAVE ENDED PRETTY.

DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN TRUCK DOWN RESIDENTIAL ROAD APPROACHING A STOP SIGN WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND GRINDING NOISE CAME ON SIMILAR TO SOUND OF ABS BRAKES WHEN ACTIVATED. I HAD NO STOPPING POWER AND WENT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLES COMING AS MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE WITH ME. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND NEAR MISS. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS WHEN I GOT HOME AND FOUND 1,000 OF OTHER SIMILAR CASES. WHEN WILL THE NHTSA TAKE ACTION AND HAVE NISSAN FIX THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR ON THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED? *TR

COLUMN SHIFTER CAUSES DAMAGE TO WIRING HARNESS OF THE MANUAL MODE TRANSMISSION BUTTON. WHEN SHIFTING VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, COLUMN HITS WIRING HARNESS, AND OVER TIME CAUSES WIRING TO THE TRANSMISSION MANUAL MODE BUTTON TO BREAK. ONCE THIS BREAKS, THERE IS NO MEANS TO DOWN SHIFT VEHICLE, CAUSING A HAZARD ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING ROADS WHERE THERE ARE ELEVATION CHANGES. WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE MANUAL MODE BUTTON FAILURE BY RESEARCHING NISSAN TITAN FORUMS (CLUB TITAN AND TITAN TALK). UPON REMOVING STEERING COLUMN SHROUD IMMEDIATELY NOTICED CHAFFING OF THE WIRING HARNESS, AND THE BROKEN WIRE. CONTACTED NISSAN, NISSAN WAS NOT CONCERNED WITH THIS ISSUE DUE TO THE AGE (CURRENTLY 3 YEARS) OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE ALSO PROBABLY DAMAGED. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROPERLY DESIGNED CIRCUIT TO LIMIT THE DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR IT MALFUNCTIONED. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE DID NOT CATCH FIRE, THE PLASTIC COATING ON THE WIRING WAS MELTED DOWN, THE PLUG ADAPTER WAS VERY HOT AND IT POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FIRE IF THE PLUG WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT IN LONG ENOUGH. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THIS DEFECT BE INVESTIGATED BY NISSAN. *TR

I BOUGHT A 07 NISSAN TITAN IN JULY OF 07. RIGHT AWAY I FOUND THAT THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WERE NOT WORKING. INCLUDING THE AIR BAG. I HAD IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN DEC 08. I ONCE AGAIN HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED. I WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION ON JAN, 23 AT 8:30 PM. I WAS GOING 45 MILES AN HOUR AND HIT A CEMENT AND MEDAL SIGNAL POLE. THE IMPACT WAS IN THE CENTER ON THE TRUCK. MY SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. WHEN YOU BUY A NEW CAR THE SAFETY IS PART OF WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR AND WHEN IT DOES NOT WORK IT IS VERY SCARY. *TR

THE REAR AXLE SEALS ON MY 2007 NISSAN TITAN CONTINUE TO LEAK GEAR OIL. I HAVE REPLACED THE SEALS THREE TIMES INCLUDING PURCHASING AND REPLACING THE ENTIRE AXLE SHAFT, SEAL AND SPACER ASSEMBLY ON THE THIRD TIME. THESE WERE 2 AXLE SHAFT ASSEMBLIES WHICH COST ME OVER $1000. I HAVE ALSO INSTALLED A BREATHER TUBE ON THE REAR AXLE AND INSURED IT IS ALLOWING AIR TO GET IN AND VENT THE REAR AXLE. IT'S BEEN A FEW MONTHS AFTER INSTALLATION AND THE SEALS ARE LEAKING AGAIN. MY REAR BRAKES AND PARKING BRAKE ARE SOAKED WITH OIL AND THE PARKING BRAKE NO LONGER HOLDS THE TRUCK IN PLACE WHEN PARKED ON A INCLINE/DECLINE.

FLANGE CONNECTING TAILPIPE TO MUFFLER RUSTED THROUGH, ALLOWING THE TAILPIPE TO BREAK FREE AND DANGLE FROM UNDERCARRIAGE OF VEHICLE. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THAT SIMILAR FAILURES HAVE RESULTED IN HEAT DAMAGE FROM EXHAUST TO THE WIRING HARNESS THAT RUNS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE MUFFLER. THIS DAMAGE TO THE WIRING HAS RESULTED IN LOSS OF ABS BRAKING AND TRACTION CONTROL. WHILE IT MAY BE EXPECTED THAT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WILL RUST, THE PLACEMENT OF THE WIRING HARNESS IN SUCH CLOSE PROXIMITY AND THE RISK OF SERIOUS DAMAGE TO IT WHEN/IF THE EXHAUST FAILS IS POOR DESIGN THAT SHOULD BE REMEDIED.

I HAVE AN 2007 NISSAN TITAN SE, AND WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING. THE ENGINE WOULD MAKE A MOANING OR WHINING NOISE AT START UP AND WHILE IDLING NEAR THE POWER STEERING AREA.

HI, I'M WRITING TO YOU BECAUSE SINCE DAY ONE IN 2007 WHEN I BOUGHT MY 2007 NISSAN TITAN I HAVE NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT , FIRST MY FRONT END OF MY TRUCK KEPT ON SHAKING EVERY TIME THE BRAKES WHERE APPLIED AND I HAD TOLD PINE BELT NISSAN THE PLACE I GOT THE TRUCK , THAT I BEEN HAVING THESE PROBLEMS BUT YET THESE PEOPLE STILL DON'T WANNA BOTHER WITH ME AT ALL , THIS TRUCK IS WAY TO SAFE TO EVEN BOTHER DRIVING IT ANYMORE AND I REFUSED TO PAY ALL THIS MONEY FOR A TRUCK THAT I HAVE GOT WITH LESS THEN 7,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD BOUGHT ALL THE EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR THIS TRUCK AND IT DIDN'T DO ME ANY GOOD BECAUSE EVERY TIME I HAVE A PROBLEM OR QUESTION ABOUT SOMETHING THEY ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO CHARGE ME FOR SOMETHING I FEEL SHOULD BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. NEXT PROBLEM WAS MY HEADLIGHTS KEPT BLOWING OUT AND YET THEY STILL COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME BESIDES MAKE ME PAY FOR NEW LIGHT BULBS OVER 3 TIMES , I ALSO HAD TO BUY WIRE HARDNESS FOR MY HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THEY SAID THE LIGHTS GOT TO HOT AND MELTED THE WIRES? I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW ANY OF THIS IS MY FAULT. NEXT PROBLEM IS I HAVE TOLD THEM THAT MY FRONT WHEELS SEEM TO BE SHAKING WHEN EVER IM MAKING A TURN, NEXT I NOTICED THAT MY TIRES ARE STARTING TO WARE ON EVENLY AND THESE TIRES ARE PRETTY MUCH NEW ??? NOW I GET TWO RECALLS IN THE MAIL, ONE FOR MY FUEL GAUGE AND THE OTHER FOR THE LOWER CONTROL LINKS ?? WHAT'S NEXT ED . THIS TRUCK IS REALLY A NIGHTMARE, I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS NEWER AND SAFE TO GO ANYWHERE, WRONG I DON'T EVEN WANNA DRIVE THIS THING AROUND THE BLOCK NOT ALONE BEING FORCED TO USE THIS TRUCK TO GET TO AND FROM WORK BECAUSE THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND I AM NOT MADE OUT OF MONEY THAT'S THE REASON WHY I BOUGHT A NEWER TRUCK JUST SO I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THESE. I GUESS I WAS WRONG. THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR TIME AND ANY HELP YOU COULD GIVE ME , I JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE OR WHO ELSE TO GO TO . I JUST WANT MY TRUCK IN 100% WORKING CONDITION LIKE I WAS PROMISED. *TR

THE NISSAN TITAN 2007 HAS A FRONT END BRAKE PROBLEM . THEY WEAR OUT TO THE POINT THAT WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE THE FRONT BRAKES CHATTER AND IT FEEL LIKE YOU ARE GOING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY NISSAN THREE TIMES IN 32000 MILES . THEY TRIED TO CHARGE US ALL THREE TIMES BUT AFTER THREATENING TO CALL A TV STATION THEY RELENTED AND REPLACED THEM. A MECHANIC WHO FELT SORRY FOR US SAID THIS WAS A MASSIVE PROBLEM AND NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED ANY ORDERS TO DEALERS. HE INDICATED THAT THE ENTIRE BRAKE SET UP ARE TO SMALL FOR THE VERY LARGE TITAN TRUCK. A LOOK ON THE INTERNET UNDER COMPLAINTS WILL BEAR OUT THE SIZE OF THE PROBLEM. HELP HELP HELP! *TR

2007 TITAN LE 4WD, WITH 72,000 MILES. IN DEC 2018 MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR WOULD FLASH ONCE AND QUIT WHILE DRIVING BUT ISSUE IS REPLICATED DRIVING OR STATIONARY, ENGINE ON OR OFF. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND HITTING THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL TRIPPED IT OFF, AS IF I'D TAPPED THE BRAKES. A WEEK EARLIER, I STARTED HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH MY BACKUP SONAR WARNING SYSTEM THEN COMPLETE FAILURE. LATER TROUBLESHOOTING THE TURN SIGNAL ISSUE, I REALIZED WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE, THE RIGHT FRONT TURN LAMP WOULD ILLUMINATE WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. I REALIZED IF I HELD OR RODE THE BRAKE PEDAL, THEN ENGAGED THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, THE RIGHT TURN LAMPS AND INDICATOR WORKED NORMAL, UNTIL I RELEASED THE BRAKE, THEN THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL LAMPS WOULD QUIT. ALSO NOTICED THAT ALL CLEARANCE LAMPS, TAIL AND STOP LAMPS FLUCTUATED A LITTLE IN SYNC WITH THE TURN SIGNAL OPERATION. I REALIZE I'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. CHECKED WHAT I COULD AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO MY CAR REPAIR GUYS. THIS MORNING, WHEN I STARTED IT FOR THE TRIP, I HAD WARNING LIGHTS ON FOR LOW TIRE PRESSURE (FLASHING, THEN STEADY, THEN FLASHING), ABS (STEADY) AND SLP (STEADY), AND SAID IT WAS IN 4WD WHEN THE DIAL WAS IN 2WD. NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN BEFORE. AFTER 5 MILES THE 4WD INDICATOR WENT OFF AND THE 2/4WD GRAPHIC WAS BACK MY SHOP FOUND A MELTED WIRE BUNDLE ABOVE MY EXHAUST WHERE THE TAILPIPE EXITS THE MUFFLER. THEY SAY IT LOOKS LIKE A HEAT SHIELD IS EITHER MISSING OR THAT ONE SHOULD BE THERE. HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC SAYS IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS SEVERAL KEY SYSTEMS WIRES PASS IN THAT BUNDLE THAT HAS INDICATIONS OF EXCESS HEAT AND MAY HAVE PARTIALLY MELTED WHICH COULD CREATE SHORTS THAT COULD MAKE OTHER VITAL SYSTEMS FAIL, OR CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE. STILL IN THE PROCESS OF DIAGNOSING AND REPAIR.

TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES BROKE AND SPRAYED TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL OVER. ENGINE WOULD BARELY TRANSFER POWER TO TRANSMISSION CAUSING VEHICLE TO BARELY BE DRIVEABLE. AFTER BEING TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, NOT ONLY THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT ALSO THE RADIATOR HOSES AND THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING LINE. NEITHER OF THOSE TO MY KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO BE FIXED WHEN BROUGHT IN BUT WAS TOLD THEY WERE CRACKED OR SLOWLY LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN TITAN. WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING. IT DOESN'T FEEL STABLE EVEN WHEN I AM GOING STRAIGHT. I'M SURE ITS NOT THE ALIGNMENT BUT HAS TO DO WITH THE SUSPENSION. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING CONTROLS BEFORE BECAUSE LAST SPRING DURING THE RAINING SEASON MY VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF CONTROL WHEN I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT WITH THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON GOING ABOUT 40 MPH ON THE 15 FREEWAY. I FELT DURING THAT TIME IT WAS THE RAIN THAT CAUSED ME TO SLIP BUT AFTER THAT INCIDENT IT HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. I HAVE ASK NISSAN TO TAKE A LOOK BUT THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $130 JUST FOR AN INSPECTION. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS NOR ANY REPAIR WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT IT ENDANGERS THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY AND ALSO THE PUBLIC. *TR

MY NEW 2007 AT 1200 MILES DEALER REPLACED DEFECTIVE RIMS WITH A NEW SET OF DEFECTIVE RIMS THAT ARE A AFTER MARKET PLASTIC HUBCAP GLUED TO THE STEEL RIM WHICH IS CLICKING AND POPPING WHILE IN MOTION AND AFTER 15 MINUTES DRIVING WHEN I PARK THEY STILL POP AND CLICK UNTIL THEY COMPLETELY COOL DOWN WHICH IS ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER. I ALSO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW GO DOWN BY ITSELF AND STOP EXACTLY AT 3 INCHES AFTER I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE IT, MY AC DOES NOT COOL AT ALL AND OFTEN DOES NOT COME ON EVEN WHEN MY GPS SCREEN SAYS IT IS SET ON HIGH AND RUNNING I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN OFF TRUCK THEN RESTART TRUCK TO GET AC TO COME ON. DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A TSB ON IT THAT I GAVE THEM! DEALER SAID WINDOW PROBLEM IS DUE TO GEORGIA HEAT, IT IS DOING WHAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO DO BUT MY OTHER 3 WINDOWS DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM! MY RIMS THEY STATED THAT THEY WANT TO PUT MORE GLUE A TSB TECH TO FIX THE PROBLEM! THAT IS NOT A REPAIR THAT IS A BAND AID THAT WILL NOT HOLD WITH THE HEAT TIRES PUT OFF! AS OF NOW I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANY NISSAN EVER AGAIN AND I WILL BE BUYING NEW RIMS FOR MY TRUCK AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS NOT HELPED AT ALL WHAT SO EVER ONLY TELL ME TO DO THE TSB GLUE REPAIR AND EVEN THOUGH I PAID 1800.00 EXTRA FOR CHROME RIM PACKAGE THEY WILL NOT REFUND OR PURCHASE NEW RIMS AT ALL SO I AM ON MY OWN. *TR
