AIR BAGS

10 complaints

While driving down the road a pot hole was hit and the center cap of steering wheel split as if airbag should have deployed.

Oct 23, 2025

In a low speed wreck (15mph or less) the air bag deployed sending the metal clip, holding the plastic Nissan emblem at the center of the steering wheel, flying. Hitting me right next to my eye at a very high rate of speed. Causing trauma to my eye and surrounding tissue. Missing my eye by less than an inch. If I would have been looking straight ahead instead of slightly to the right where the collision was, I would have lost my eye. How did this manufacturer allowed a piece of metal be installed in front of the air bag is mind boggling. Air bags deploy at speeds of 200mph, launching anything in front of them at that speed. I was very lucky, I hope this agency can warn everyone who owns a Nissan vehicle with this design of a metal clip holding the emblem at the center of the steering wheel. I have photos of the emblem, clip, steering wheel, air bag, and my injury showing exactly how/where the clip hit me by the cuts it left on my face in the shape of the clip. I tried to upload photos but received an error from the website. If you could contact me I would like to send you the photos. They prove without a doubt the facts started above.

ENGINE

9 complaints

The exhaust manifolds on the driver and passenger side are cracked. Ticking sounds are made while car is cold and goes away after they have heated up enough, typically after 5 minutes. This results in letting in exhaust fumes inside the cabin, regardless of the air conditioner/heater is on, which leads to being lightheaded and nearly passing out and crashing. The fumes are stronger when stationary but happens no matter what, even after the ticking is gone and driving down the highway.

May 12, 2025

The exaust manifolds cracked and is letting fumes into the cabin. I bought the truck about 2 weeks ago from a private dealer. The cracked manifolds began to leak a few days ago and I truthfully believe it should be covered by Nissan

SERVICE BRAKES

6 complaints

FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELING "SPONGY" AND OCCASIONALLY GOING TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ANY REDUCTION IN SPEED. THE BRAKE PEDAL PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE AND CULMINATED WHEN I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND TRIED TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO SLOWER TRAFFIC. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO SWERVE INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO KEPT IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. HE REPLACED SEVERAL BRAKE COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS, MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE BOOSTER, AND THE ABS MODULE. HE THEN BLED THE BRAKE LINES MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THE BRAKE PEDAL BACK TO ITS NORMAL RANGE. ALL OF THIS WORKED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND THEN THE PROBLEM RETURNED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER ON JANUARY 31, 2018 AND HAD THE FOLLOWING DONE. THEY PERFORMED ANOTHER BRAKE FLUSH, CLEANED AND ADJUSTED THE REAR CALIPERS, AND CLEANED AND LUBRICATED THE SLIDES AND PAD CONTACTS. I PICKED THE TRUCK UP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT LIKE NEW. IT HAS NOW BEEN A LITTLE OVER THREE MONTHS AND THE BRAKE PEDAL IS GRADUALLY FALLING TOWARDS THE FLOOR DURING BRAKING, SIMILAR TO PAST EXPERIENCE. BRAKING DISTANCES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION HAVE INCREASED AND THE BRAKING POWER DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THERE ANYMORE.

Apr 25, 2018

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. TOM PEACOCK OF HOUSTON, TEXAS WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000.

Jul 27, 2017

I HAVE HAD OVER A DOZEN INSTANCES WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES THE BREAK PEDDLE WOULD PUSH TO THE FLOOR AND YOU WOULD HEAR A LOUD NOISE AS IF THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM WAS FAILING. YOU COULD FEEL IT IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT FRIGHTENS THE HECK OUT OF YOU. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO MY LOCAL PREMIER NISSAN IN METAIRIE, LA AND HAD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOOK AT IT, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND INFORMED THEY COULD NOT HELP. I HAVE HAD MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK AND IT HAS HAPPENED WITH THEM AND MY 16 YEAR OLD SON HAS EXPERIENCED IT AS WELL. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND I'M AFRAID ONE DAY IT WILL FAIL AND I WILL LOOSE THE ABILITY TO STOP MY VEHICLE. AFTER EACH INCIDENT, I HAVE TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT TO STOP THE NOISE FROM COMING FROM THE ABS BREAK SYSTEM. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THAT I HAVE TO TURN MY TRUCK OFF WHILE HAVING A GREEN LIGHT, ON THE INTERSTATE AND ANY OTHER DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WISH I COULD GET SOME CLARITY AS TO FIXING THIS BREAKING ISSUE.

Sep 01, 2015

BRAKES HAVE A FADING BRAKE PEDAL, NISSAN SAYS THIS IS OK/NORMAL. I SAY THIS IS DANGEROUS. THE BRAKES WORK FINE UNLESS YOU ARE IN A PANIC SITUATION. WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE PEDAL TO MAKE A QUICK STOP IF NECESSARY ON THE HIGHWAY THE PEDAL TRAVELS 4" TO 5". YOU LOSE SECONDS IN A "NEED TO STOP NOW" SITUATION. NOT ONLY DOES THIS MAKE THE DRIVER TRY TO PUMP THE BRAKES BUT THE TRAVEL IS SO LONG AS TO EXTEND YOUR LEG COMPLETELY AND STILL NEED TO COMPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL MORE. DIDN'T REALIZE THIS PROBLEM EXISTED UNTIL THE OTHER DAY WHEN I NEEDED TO PANIC STOP. ALMOST LOST CONTROL TRYING TO COMPENSATE FOR THE PEDAL TRAVEL. ALSO WHEN BACKING MY BOAT INTO THE LAKE - CONSTANT PRESSURE MAKES THE PEDAL TRAVEL DOWN. THE BRAKES HOLD BUT I HAVE TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS "MUSHY" PEDAL. I HAVE RECENTLY REPLACED THE BRAKES, CALIPERS AND MASTER CYLINDER TO NO AVAIL. I GUESS I COULD REPLACE ALL THE BRAKE COMPONENTS BUT ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH IT WON'T HELP. AS I UNDERSTAND IT THE NEWER VEHICLES OF NISSAN (NOT JUST TITAN) HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS I DON'T KNOW. ITS A PROBLEM YOU WOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT UNLESS YOU'VE DRIVEN THESE VEHICLES AWHILE..I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND BEING "DEAD ENDED" BY NISSAN. I'M 63, HAVE WORKED ON CARS MY WHOLE LIFE, I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AS NO DOUBT MANY HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED BY THIS PROBLEM. I CANT SELL THE VEHICLE TO ANYONE ELSE KNOWING THERE'S NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. PS - FORD, CHRYSLER AND CHEVY DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY SOLUTION IT SEEMS IS TO MODIFY/REPLACE THE WHOLE BRAKE SYSTEM -- EXPENSIVE AND DIFFICULT - WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS. PLEASE HELP.

SUSPENSION

6 complaints

MY TRUCK'S FRONT SUSPENSION MAKES NOISE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT GOES OVER SPEED BUMPS. IT'S BEEN MAKING NOISE FOR MAYBE SINCE 2010 YEARS AND WE HAVE GOT IT CHECKED BUT THE SERVICE GUYS SAYS IT'S FINE. THE TIRES, ROTATIONS, SERVICE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL KEPT.

Oct 26, 2017

2008 NISSAN TITAN HAS A LARGE KNOCK IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND OR HILLS WHEN DRIVING THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES UNTIL NISSAN FINALLY DECIDED TO POST A TSB. THE TSB STATES TO REPLACE THE FRONT SPRINGS ON 2008-2010 TITANS WITH SPRINGS FROM 2007 TITANS WHICH WILL LOWER THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK BY 1.5 INCHES. MY TRUCK IS NOW AN EYE SORE BY HAVING AN UNBALANCED RAKE WHEN LOOKING AT THE TRUCK FROM FRONT TO BACK AND STILL KNOCKS HEAVILY WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND OR HILLS. NISSAN ADMITS THE ISSUE IS PRESENT BUT STATE THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX. *TR

IN 2005 TITAN TRUCK HAD THEIR ADJUSTABLE CAMBER BOLTS REPLACED WITH NON-ADJUSTABLE BOLT. THIS CAUSED ANY TRUCK NEEDING A FRONT END ALIGNMENT TO HAVE TO HAVE THE BOLTS REPLACED. NISSAN IS NOT REPLACING THESE BOLTS ON A RECALL BUT HAVE NOTIFIED DEALERS ON A ATSB. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO CAUSE MORE DEALER WORK AND CONSUMER COST BY DESIGNING A BOLT THAT THEY KNEW IN ADVANCE WOULD NOT WORK. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2008 NISSAN TITAN 8/20/08, EVERYTHING WAS GREAT UNTIL ODM HIT ABOUT 3,000 MILES. THAT'S WHEN MY FUEL GAUGE WAS INCONSISTENT ON IT'S READINGS AND EVERY TIME I PUMPED GAS INTO MY TRUCK IT WOULD SPILL GAS OUT. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE NISSAN DEALER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM AND THEY KEPT IT FOR 3 1/2 HOURS WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP THEY SAID THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS AND I SHOULD CHANGE MY GAS GRADE. I TOLD THEM I ONLY PUT 91 IN AND TO GO TO A LESSER GRADE WOULDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS I WIGGLED AND REPOSITIONED THE NOZZLE TO HELP PREVENT THE GAS FROM SPILLING FROM THE TRUCK, MOST OF THE TIME THIS HELPS WITH LESS FUEL COMING OUT. I CALLED THEM AGAIN AND TOLD THEM I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME TWO PROBLEMS THEY SAID AGAIN THEY HADN'T FOUND ANYTHING WRONG BUT I COULD SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. I TOLD THEM I WOULD GO TO ANOTHER MECHANIC. I DID AND BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY SAID I NEEDED TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER EXPLAINING TO THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING THEY SET UP A MEETING WITH ANOTHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WHERE I LEARNED THAT ALL 08 AND 09 TIITANS HAVE NUMEROUS FUEL PROBLEMS. THEY DID REPLACE MY FUEL SENSOR AND SAID WITH THE GAS SPILLING OUT WHILE PUMPING I WOULD HAVE TO PULL THE NOZZLE ALMOST ALL THE WAY OUT AND HOLD THE LEVER ONLY A QUARTER OF THE WAY IN TO PREVENT THE GAS SPILLING OUT. I ASKED HIM WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING HE SAID THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM COULDN'T HANDLE MUCH GAS PER SECOND BECAUSE THE WAY THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS BUILT IT BUILDS UP TO MUCH PRESSURE AND IN RETURN GAS SPILLS OUT. I TOLD HIM I WOULD LIKE IT FIXED AND SAID THERE WAS NO FIX FOR IT EXCEPT TO PULL OUT THE NOZZLE AND LIGHTLY HOLD THE LEVER. I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T FEEL THAT WAS SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO BE DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT BUILDS PRESSURE IN THE FUEL OF ALL PLACES HE SAID MY ONLY OTHER OPTION WAS TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

There is an issue with the fuel gauge. Not reading correctly and running out of gas. Needle is at half tank and it has run out of fuel. I’ve had this happen to me multiple times. Gage reads more than I physically have. I’ve even ran out of fuel on the freeway.

May 30, 2024

I am writing in regards to a recall that has previously been serviced on my vehicle. I bought my 2008 Nissan Titan through a private party on 4/16/23. The truck had no issues until 4/20/23. The fuel gauge read that I had a quarter tank of gas. However I was driving to work that morning and all of a sudden the truck acted as if it would when one runs out of fuel. I was not able to use the breaks and the steering was near impossible. I was frightened as I had my baby in the truck with me and I easily could have caused an accident not being able to use my breaks especially. Once I got to the side of the road and we stopped "coasting" I called for help. I did have an individual bring me some gas just incase that could have been the issue. Sure enough once I put fuel in it the truck started up and I got to the closet gas station to fuel up. Come to find out once my gas gauge reads a quarter tank it is in fact empty. The truck had a recall serviced on 4/16/2010 to replace the fuel gauge sending unit. I took the truck in to be serviced on 4/24/23 because of the issue I experienced. I was told that it was more than likely the sending unit and it would cost me $600-$800 to have it fixed. Why should I have to pay for a cost that has already been serviced once? Is there a warranty on a recall that has already been serviced? Can this possibly be a defect in the recall that was already serviced?

Apr 24, 2023

MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED I BELIEVE IN MAY 2010 FOR A FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER TO BE CHECKED AND ALSO REQUESTED THAT THEY CHECK THE HORN AND BACKUP ALARM WHICH WERE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND DID NOT SEEM TO WORK AT ALL TIMES. THEY CHECKED IT OVER AND SAID THEY WOULD ORDER PARTS AND I WOULD NEED ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK THEY REPLACED A HORN RELAY BUT NOTHING ELSE. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE FUEL UNIT AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT CAME IN. HE SAID THE BACKUP ALARM SEEMED FINE. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH I CALLED AND ASKED IF THEY HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT ME, AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE SENDING UNITS COME FROM JAPAN AND ARE MADE AS ORDERED SO IT COULD TAKE A WHILE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS STRANGE SINCE UNDER THE RECALL THEY SHOULD BE STOCKING THE PART BUT I ACCEPTED HIS EXPLANATION. I MAY HAVE CALLED ONE MORE TIME TO CHECK THE STATUS BUT NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THE DEALER. THE GAUGE SEEMED TO BE WORKING SO I THOUGHT I WOULD LIVE WITH IT. IN JANUARY OF 2013 MY TRUCK RAN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THE GAUGE SHOWED I WAS OVER ONE QUARTER FULL. I NOTIFIED NISSAN OF THIS INCIDENT AND WAS CONTACTED VERY QUICKLY. THE REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE WITH SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED AND I SHOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. I INFORMED HIM THAT I HAD MORE THAN ONCE AND THE ISSUE WAS NEVER CORRECTED SO I DID NOT FEEL I COULD GO THERE AND REQUESTED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME IT HAD TO BE REPLACE BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDER BUT DID OFFER TO HAVE ANOTHER DEALER TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS THEN TOLD THE ORIGINAL DEALER WAS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM EITHER OF THEM. DO I HAVE A RIGHT TO GET THIS RECALL ISSUE AND THE WARRANTY ISSUE RESOLVED? *TR

NISSAN TITAN FUEL LINE COVER MADE FROM SOY MATERIAL. RODENT AND SMALL ANIMALS ARE ATTRACTED TO THE SOY MATERIAL AND CHEW THROUGH THE LINE, CAUSING FUEL FUMES OR FUEL TO LEAK. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. NISSAN REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR FIX THE ISSUE. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN, NISSAN ADVISES CUSTOMERS TO REPLACE PART AND COST THEMSELVES, PART IS REPLACED WITH SAME MATERIAL CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEM. PART IS NOT JUST A FUEL LINE, IT IS A WHOLE FUEL TANK SYSTEM AS LINE IS CONNECTED TO THE TANK SYSTEM. SOME NISSAN TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK SYSTEM MORE THAN ONCE, BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM REPEATING ITSELF. WHEN TAKING THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TREATMENT, NISSAN TRAINED MECHANICS ACKNOWLEDGE ISSUE AND ADMIT IT IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM. IF THE DEALERSHIP KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE, WHY IS NISSAN CORPORATION NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS NOT A CUSTOMERS FAULT BUT AN ISSUE THAT STARTED FROM THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURE PART AT ASSEMBLY, IT IS A NISSAN PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT A VEHICLE USAGE PROBLEM, IT IS NOT A VEHICLE MAINTENANCE ISSUE, IT IS A PART/ASSEMBLY ISSUE BY THE NISSAN COMPANY. A SIMPLE ONLINE RESEARCH FOR THIS ISSUE HAS BROUGHT UP NUMEROUS FINDINGS FOR NISSAN TITAN OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. VEHICLES CARRY STATIC ELECTRICITY, IT TAKES ONE SPARK OR STOPPING THE VEHICLE OVER ONE CARELESSLY DISCARDED CIGARETTE FOR ANY NISSAN TITAN TO CATCH FIRE. NISSAN SHOULD TAKE CONCERN INTO RESOLVING THIS MATTER AND PROTECT THEIR NISSAN DRIVERS FROM DRIVING BASICALLY A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT/DEATH MACHINE WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

I PURCHASED MY TRUCK IN 2014 FROM COUNTRY FORD. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE I HAD A TIRE SIDE WALL COME APART ON ONE OF MY BRAND NEW TIRES. I TOOK IT TO COUNTRY FORD AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. SO I TOOK IT TO GOOD YEAR IN SOUTHAVEN MS WHO SAID IT WAS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT TO COUNTRY FORD'S GENERAL MANAGER WHO IN RETURN FINALLY REPLACED THE TIRE. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD ALL FOUR TIRES ON THE GROUND PATCHED BY ELAINE TIRE COMPANY; TOTAL NUMBER OF PATCHES DONE WERE 5 TIMES. THE TIRE REPAIRMAN STATED THAT ROCKS HAD POKED HOLES IN THE TIRES IN THE TREAD AREA. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT ALL THE TIRES ON MY TRUCK ARE PASSENGER RATED TIRES, INCLUDING THE SPARE WHICH ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR MY TRUCK, INSTEAD OF PUTTING LT TIRES ON THE TRUCK WHICH SHOULD BE MANDATORY BY ALL CAR SALES FACILITIES THEY PUT 4-PLY P-RATED TIRES ON MY TRUCK WHICH ARE DESIGNED FOR PASSENGER CARS. ALL TRUCKS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO HAVE LT-RATED TIRES WITH A MINIMUM OF AT LEAST A 6-PLY TIRE DESIGN. THESE TIRES ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH WHEN THE SIDE WALL CAME APART; AND IF DRIVING ON A GRAVEL ROAD CAN FLATTEN A TIRE THE P-RATED TIRES THAT EASILY THEN THEY SHOULD NOT BE USED AT ALL. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET COUNTRY FORD AND GOOD YEAR TO REPLACE THESE DANGEROUS TIRES SEVERAL TIMES WITH A PROPER LT-RATED TIRE. THEY BOTH REFUSED STATING THE TIRES SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO DO WHAT EVER I WANTED TO DO. EVIDENTLY THEY ARE WORTHLESS FOR EVERYDAY SIMPLE DRIVING, IF THE CAN BE FLATTENED WITH A ROCK.

I BOUGHT A NISSAN TITAN 2008 6 WEEKS AGO THAT HAD 5 BRAND NEW GOOD YEAR TITAN TIRES PUT ON AT PURCHASE; 4 ON THE TRUCK ONE ON THE SPARE. WITHIN 3 DAYS OF EACH OTHER 2 WENT FLAT. THE FIRST WAS RULED AS A FACTORY DEFECT BY THE TIRE REPAIR SHOP. THE SECOND THE SHOP WAS NOT SURE, IT HAD A HOLE IN THE TREAD AREA BUT HAD NO NAIL OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF PUNCTURE. ANYWAY HE RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERS SHIP TO GET THE TIRES ADJUSTED AND REPLACED. THEY REFUSED TO DO SO AND NOT KNOWING THAT I USE TO WORK ON TIRES MYSELF PROCEEDED TO BLAME ME FOR THE FLATS. I INFORMED THE MAN HE WAS WRONG AND HE SAID I COULD TAKE IT TO A GOOD YEAR SERVICE CENTER FOR A SECOND OPINION; WHICH I DID. GOOD YEAR SAID THE SAME THING AS THE ORIGINAL TIRE GUY, "FACTORY DEFECT" HE ALSO STATED I HAD "P" RATED TIRES ON MY TITAN AND IN HIS OPINION I SHOULD HAVE "LT" RATED TIRES ON MY TRUCK. THESE FLATS OCCURRED WITH MY TRUCK SETTING IN THE DRIVEWAY THANK GOD. THE DEALERSHIP WAS COUNTRY FORD OF SOUTHAVEN MS. THE MAN WHO LIED TO ME AND ACCUSED ME OF BEING AT FAULT WAS NAMED [XXX]. THE GOOD YEAR MAN SAID WHEN HE SPOKE TO THEM HE WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER GUY THAT THEY WOULDN'T RESOLVED THE TIRE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY HAD 4 MONTHS OF ADJUSTMENTS THEY HAD NOT BEEN PAID FOR YET. THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM; NOW SINCE THEY ARE THE ONES WHO PUT THE P RATED CAR TIRES ON MY TRUCK; AND NOT LT RATED TRUCK TIRES THEY HAVE PUT ME AND ANYONE ELSE RIDING WITH ME AS WELL AS ANYONE DRIVING NEAR ME IN DANGER. I HAD TWO FLATS IN 3 DAYS ON TIRES THAT HAVE LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON THEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE NISSAN TITAN BUTTON ON THE SHIFT LEVER THAT SHIFTS MANUALLY, AFTER MANUAL SHIFT IS TURNED ON, STOPPED WORKING. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS PULLING A TRAILER COMING DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAINS.

I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK BACK INTO NORMAL AUTOMATIC MODE AND I HAD TO RIDE MY BREAKS DOWN THE MOUNTAIN TO A FLAT AREA AND SWAP VEHICLES TO TOW THE TRAILER. AFTER THIS INCIDENT I FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON AND IS SPECIFICALLY CAUSED BY NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE. MEANING USING THE SHIFT LEVER TO PULL THE TUCK OUT OF PARK AND BACK INTO PARK.

I EXPLAINED IT ONLY HAD 22,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED IN ANYWAY. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO BREAK. WE USE IT MAINLY FOR THE DOGS TO TRAVEL IN AND WHEN GUESS ARE IN TOWN WE HAVE AN EXTRA VEHICLE RUN TO THE STORE AND BACK. HONESTLY THE TRUCK DOES VERY LITTLE BUT SHOW OFF THE DOGS WHEN THEY GET TO GO TO THE MARKET AND BACK. WE CALL AND TALKED WITH THE NISSAN REP. WHOSE NAME IS [XXX] WHO IS OUR DISTRICT MANAGER, HE SIMPLY TOLD US THAT THE WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER IN EFFECT AND WE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL EXPENSES. I MENTIONED THE UNFAIRNESS OF THE SITUATION, HIS RESPONSE WAS I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER FOR ALL OF ITS MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS. WHEN I MENTIONED THAT WE HAD ALL THE MAINTENANCE AND SERVICES RECOMMENDED DONE THROUGH OUR SMALL BUSINESS LOCAL MECHANIC WHO BY THE WAY HAS MORE CERTIFICATES AND EXPERIENCE THAN HIS NISSAN TEAM HE ARGUED THE FACT.

THIS IS A 2-PART INCIDENT, THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED LAST FALL, 2010. DURING A SERVICE VISIT TO A REPUTABLE LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE SHOP, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A LUG STUD ON THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WAS MISSING. THE STUD WAS BROKEN OFF. IT WAS REPLACED AND CONSIDERED A MYSTERIOUS BUT BENIGN INCIDENT. RETURNING FROM AN 1200 MILE ROAD TRIP LAST WEEK, I TOOK MY TITAN IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE TO THE SAME AUTOMOTIVE SHOP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT 4 OF THE 6 LUG NUTS WERE MISSING. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THEY WERE ALL BROKEN OFF ABOUT A 1/4" FROM THE AXLE WHEEL MOUNT - ON THE SAME RIGHT REAR WHEEL. THE MISSING STUDS WERE IN THE 10, 12, 2 AND 6 O'CLOCK POSITIONS - THE ONLY 2 REMAINING STUDS THAT PREVENTED A CATASTROPIC ACCIDENT INVOLVING MY SON AND ME WERE IN THE 4 AND 8 O'CLOCK POSITIONS! IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE THAT WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN A DEADLY CRASH!! ONE OF THE TWO REMAINING STUDS HOLDING THE WHEEL ON THE AXLE WAS ONE REPLACED PREVIOUSLY LAST FALL. I HAD AIRED UP THE TIRES THE NIGHT BEFORE I LEFT ON THIS TRIP AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY MISSING LUG NUTS. CLEARLY THIS WAS NOT A THEFT ATTEMPT FOR TWO REASONS: A) WHY WOULD SOMEONE WHO COULD SIMPLY UNSCREW THE LUGS NUTS INSTEAD, WITH GREAT EFFORT, TWIST THEM OFF THE WRONG DIRECTION...AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE? AND B) TWICE IN SIX MONTHS ON THE SAME WHEEL? INTERNET RESEARCH REVEALS SEVERAL OTHER INCIDENTS OF BROKEN LUG STUDS, EVERYONE SEEMING TO ATTRIBUTE IT TO AN ODD, ONE-OFF INCIDENT. IT IS MY OPTION THAT THE STUDS ARE DEFECTIVE AND A RESULT OF STRESS FATIGUE. ONE POST ON A NISSAN FORUM SITED SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY FOUND A CRACK IN ONE OF THE STUDS THAT HAD NOT YET BROKEN OFF. I STRONGLY URGE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS SITUATION - SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE AS A RESULT OF IT. I AM ALSO GOING TO SEEK TO HAVE NISSAN REPLACE ALL THE STUDS ON MY TRUCK ALTHOUGH I EXPECT THEY WILL REFUSE LEAVING IT TO ME TO DO IT AT MY OWN COST. *TT

AT ALL TIMES WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE REAR END OF MY TRUCK SHAKES FROM 55-80 MILES PER HOUR (PRETTY MUCH THE USABLE SPEED RANGE OF THE TRUCK IS NOW WORTHLESS). THE TRUCK WOBBLES SO MUCH NOW THAT IT FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM I.E. NEW TIRES, NEW RIMS AND NEW TIRES, BALANCING, ALIGNMENTS. RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE HAS DETERMINED THAT THIS IS A VERY WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM AND MANY OWNERS/OPERATORS OF THE NISSAN TITAN REFER TO THIS VIOLENT SHAKING AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" I HAVE SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT NISSAN OF AMERICA IS NOT INTERESTED IN ADDRESSING THIS EPIDEMIC THAT IS EFFECTING SO MANY OF THE TITANS THEY HAVE MANUFACTURED. THE PROBLEM IS LARGE ENOUGH THAT NISSAN HAS PUBLISHED A TSB WHICH INCLUDES NECESSARY PARTS THAT MUST BE PURCHASED THAT MAY ONLY ALLEVIATE THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND NOT CURE IT. I AM SAD THAT NISSAN OF AMERICA IS NOT STANDING BEHIND ITS PRODUCT TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY HAZARDOUS NOT ONLY TO THE OWNER/OPERATOR OF THE TITAN, BUT ALL THOSE THAT ARE SHARING THE ROAD WITH THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES. MY PERSONAL NOTE IS THAT MY TRUCK FEELS SO HAZARDOUS THAT I WILL NO LONGER TRANSPORT MY WIFE OR MY 3 CHILDREN IN IT AND I THINK SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

ON THE 2008 NISSAN TITAN THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. THE HEADLAMPS AND TURN SIGNAL ARE ON THE SAME SWITCH. WHEN SIGNALING A TURN THE HEADLIGHT POSITION CHANGES. WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AS YOU WILL LOSE ALL EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS. IT IS CONFUSING TO THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE AS THE OPERATOR MUST REACT RAPIDLY TO LOCATE THE SWITCH AND REGAIN SOME IDEA OF THE LOCATION OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION OPERATORS OF ONCOMING VEHICLES MAY BE CONFUSED BY THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHING ON/OFF. THE DEFECT HAS OTHER ACCIDENT POSSIBILITIES AS THE SWITCH MAY HAVE GONE TO THE OFF POSITION DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS AND THE AUTOMATIC SWITCH WOULD NOT OPERATE AS EXPECTED LEAVING A PERSON TRAVELING PAST THE TWILIGHT HOURS WITH OUT ROAD LIGHTS. *TR

1 complaint

I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP, SINCE DAY ONE THAT MY TRUCK HAD HANDLING ISSUES. THAT MY REAR AXLE WAS OFF CENTER AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TRACKING STRAIGHT. THEIR ANSWER WAS AN ALIGNMENT ABOUT 20 OF THEM. BAD TIRES, MY DRIVING, ETC. NOT THEIR PERFECT TRUCK. AFTER 2 1/2 YEARS OF FIGHTING NISSAN THEY SENT MY TRUCK TO A FRAME SHOP. THE REAR OF THE FRAME FROM THE FT SPRING HANGERS TP THE REAR IS BOWED UPWARDS. PUTTING MY SPRINGS IN A BIND AND CAUSING THE REAR AXLE TO BE OUT OF LINE. CAUSING THE ERRATIC HANDING. IF YOU HAVE A TITAN WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE AN OFFSET REAR AXLE HAVE THE FRAME CHECKED BY COMPUTER. THOUGH THE FRAME MAY BE STRAIGHT, THE REAR OF IT MAY BE BOWED HORIZONTALLY, CAUSING PROBLEMS. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A FRAME SHOP 2 YRS AGO AND TOLD THEM THE FRAME WAS NOT RIGHT. I GUESS AFTER THINKING THERE WAS NO WAY MY FRAME WAS BENT THEY ALLOWED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE FRAME SHOP. HA! HA! ON THEM MAY FRAME WAS BOWED HAS BEEN SO SINCE DAY ONE. HOPEFULLY THE LAWYER CAN GET ME OUT OF THE TRUCK. *TR

1 complaint

IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR MY NISSAN TITAN CONCERNING THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE PEDDLE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT IN YET. I CALLED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF JUNE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN RELEASED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER LAUGHED AND SAID "YOU COULD BRING IT BUT IT MAY SIT HERE FOR SIX MONTHS OR MORE". I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE RECALL LETTER IS ALL THE MANUFACTURER IS REQUIRED TO DO. IS THIS TRUE? WHERE ARE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM? IS THERE SOME AGENCY THAT MAKES SURE THAT THE MANUFACTURER FOLLOWS THROUGH ON THE RECALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER? *TR
