AIR BAGS

7 complaints

I received a recall notice for my 2009 Nissan Titan. I have brought the truck to Premier Nissan, 6636 Veterans Blvd., Metairie, LA on multiple occasions to have the work performed without success. I last brought the truck in March 07, 2024, at which time I was told that the airbag emblem needed to be replaced. [XXX] . The part was supposed to be ordered and in within two weeks. I called Premier Nissan several times since March 07, 2024, without resolution. I called today, August 08, 2024, and was told that the dealership records did not even indicate that the part had been ordered. Additionally, to add further insult, I was told that the truck must again be brought in for another inspection despite the fact that it had been inspected and found defective on March 07, 2024. This is unacceptable. Your assistance in resolving this matter is appreciated. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Our 2009 Nissan Titan was involved in a roll over accident and no air bags deployed. The driver side air bags did NOT deployed at all. My son ended up with a broken collarbone, fractured back rib and possibly humorous fracture on muscle injuries the accident. My insurance company has inspected the vehicle and has possession of it at a salvage yard. There were no indications that there was something wrong with the air bags or the air bag sensors.

Rear driver axle seals leaking very unsafe

Jan 25, 2025

MULTIPLE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL LEAKS ON PRO-4X MODEL, RESULTING IN FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. FIRST DIFFERENTIAL LEAK OCCURRED AT 40,000. SECOND LEAK OCCURRED WITHIN A AFTER THE FIRST WAS REPLACED. BOTH REPLACEMENT SEALS ARE/WERE GENUINE NISSAN PARTS.

Jun 24, 2016

WEATHER CONDITIONS RAPIDLY CHANGED FROM DRY PAVEMENT TO SNOW COVERED ROADS. DOING ABOUT 20 MPH I TRIED TO ENGAGE MY 4WD HI. ALL I HEARD WAS A SLIGHT GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE REAR CAB OF MY TRUCK. THE 4WD SYSTEM WOULD NOT ENGAGE. SO I PULLED OVER THEN TRIED TO TURN ON THE 4WD. NO NOISES AND THE 4WD INDICATOR LIGHT TURNED ON AS USUAL. GO TO DRIVE OFF THINKING THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND REALIZED THAT NOT ALL WHEELS WERE ENGAGED.(REAR OF TRUCK SPUN OUT) PULLED OVER ONCE AGAIN AND LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING LOOSE. NOTICED THE FRONT DRIVER HALF SHAFT TO BE DISENGAGED FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL.THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED MY FRONT WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS ALSO COULD HAVE CAUSED A SEVERE ACCIDENT. NO WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT TURNED ON WAS THE 4WD ILLUMINATION SHOWING THE 4WD WAS ENGAGED AND WORKING. IF I WAS TO CONTINUE THINKING THAT THE 4WD WAS WORKING IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURIES TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE. I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL IN THE NISSAN TITAN. MY VEHICLE HAS 65400 MILES ON IT. ONLY 5400 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY THE PARTS THAT FAIL IN THIS CASE IS CALLED A C CLIP (HOLDS THE HALF SHAFT IN DIFFERENTIAL). THE PART NUMBERS FOR THE NEW DIFFERENTIAL ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE ONES CURRENTLY INSTALLED. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND SHOULD RESOLVE ANY COST THAT THIS REPAIR WILL CAUSE. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. *TR

Dec 19, 2009

I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A SERIOUS VIBRATION COMING FROM THE REAR END OF MY 2007 NISSAN TITAN. I THOUGH THAT IT MIGHT BE AN OUT OF BALANCE TIRE. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO FIRESTONE WHERE THEY NOTICED MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR AXLE OUTPUT SEAL WAS LEAKING. I WENT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND DECODED TO CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL OF MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND HAD TO ADD 1 QUART(OUT OF 2 QUARTS). THE DRAIN PLUG IS MAGNETIC AND I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS ALOT OF METAL ATTACHED TO IT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE NOISE WAS GETTING MORE PRONOUNCED AND STARTED TO SHAKE THE WHOLE TRUCK. I DECIDED TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPT AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED ME AND I WENT TO SEE THE OUTCOME. HE INFORMED ME THAT MY DRIVESHAFT WAS BINDING DO TO A FAULTY DIFFERENTIAL AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. HE THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY REPLACE A DIFFERENTIAL IN THESE TRUCKS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AND THAT THE REAR AXLE SEALS ARE PRONE TO GOING OUT. AFTER DISCOVERING TITANTALK.COM I FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN HASN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE DIFFERENTIAL CAME IN.*TR

Jul 23, 2024

MY FUEL PUMP ISSUE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON MY TRUCK. I'VE TRIED FOR A MONTH TO GET IT INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND KEEP BEING PUT OFF TIL THE NEXT WEEK.

I WAS DRIVING AND GAS GAUGE WAS READING A 1/4 TANK OF GAS. THE VEHICLE SHUTDOWN WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF NO GAS IN FUEL TANK. I MADE A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AND WAS TOLD SINCE THE RECALL WAS CANCELLED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO REIMBURSE ME.

EXHAUST LEAK UNDERNEATH ABS ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS LEADING TO DAMAGE OF ABS ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS AND POSSIBLE ABS FAILURE.

Jun 24, 2016

NOTICED A SMALL FLUID LEAK UNDER MY CAR, IT LOOKED LIKE RADIATOR FLUID. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO CHECK IT OUT. WHEN THE NISSAN TECHNICIANS INVESTIGATED THE LEAK THEY INFORMED ME THE LEAK WAS FROM THE SEAMS OF THE RADIATOR AND THE RADIATOR REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS COMMON AND ROUTINE WEAR AND TEAR FOR NISSAN. THE 2009 TITAN HAS JUST OVER 41,000 MILES AND IS ONLY DRIVEN ON PAVED ROADS. IT HAS NO OFF-ROAD MILEAGE. I DO NOT BELIEVE A PROPERLY DESIGNED RADIATOR SHOULD LEAK FROM THE SEAMS AFTER 6 YEARS AND LOW MILEAGE.

SERVICE BRAKES

3 complaints

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED ENTIRELY TO FLOOR TO ENGAGE. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET THE TRUCK TO SLOW DOWN. LUCKILY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO NISSAN TO BE EVALUATED. THEY STATED IT WAS A FAILURE OF THE ABS ACTUATOR AND SAID THEY LOOKED IT UP AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE OF THIS PART COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE.

Jan 29, 2019

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH THE VEHICLE FAILED TO DECELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

Jun 16, 2014

IN JULY 2013, I NOTICED A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I GOT HOME I TOOK THE WHEEL OFF AND IT WAS NOTED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE PAD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAD SEPARATED FROM THE BRAKE SHOE ITSELF. THERE WERE BIG CHUNKS OF BRAKE PAD STUCK IN THE WHEEL. THE PIECES WERE REMOVED AND PLACED IN A BAG. I BROUGHT THE PIECES TO MY LOCAL DEALER ON THE NEXT OIL CHANGE AND INQUIRED WHY THIS HAPPENED. THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT THIS TYPE OF THING HAPPENED MORE OFTEN THAN YOU WOULD THINK. IN JANUARY 2014, I KEPT HEARING A THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM MY PASSENGERS SIDE REAR WHEEL. I WROTE TO NISSAN ABOUT THE PARTS QUALITY AND SAFETY CONCERNS I HAD AND THEY WANTED THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY A CERTIFIED NISSAN DEALER TO ESTABLISH THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND WHETHER IT WAS A COVERED PART. ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER, SOMETHING SHIFTED IN MY REAR WHEEL ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE CAUSING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE APPROX. SPEED WAS 25 MPH. WHEN THE SERVICE TECH AT THE DEALER PULLED THE WHEEL OFF, HE FOUND THE PARKING BRAKE PADS TO BE SEPARATED FROM THE BRAKE SHOES. THE PADS BECAME ENTANGLED IN THE WHEEL CAUSING FURTHER DAMAGE. THE TRUCK REQUIRED NEW BRAKE SHOES, ADJUSTER ASSEMBLIES, SPRING SET, AND TOGGLE LEVER. NISSAN ULTIMATELY DECLINED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE PARTS ARE NOT WEARING OUT LIKE THEY SHOULD, THEY ARE FAILING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED, THE TECH POINTED OUT THAT THE EXHAUST FLANGE THAT CONNECTS MY TAILPIPE TO THE MUFFLER HAD ROTTED OUT. I HAPPENED TO NOTICE THAT THERE IS A CURRENT COMPLAINT(ID#10485804) ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. A DECENT PART OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO REPLACE THIS PART. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

A FIRE, SEEMING TO START UNDER THE DASH, SPONTANEOUSLY ERUPTED AND DESTROYED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND SOME VERY EXPENSIVE PROPERTY IN THE BED. THE TRUCK WAS SETTING STILL AT THE TIME. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. I HAVE NEVER INSTALLED ANY AFTER MARKET EQUIPMENT ON THE VEHICLE.

Fire: 1

FLANGE CONNECTING TAILPIPE TO MUFFLER RUSTED THROUGH. REMAINING EXHAUST SYSTEM IN PRISTINE CONDITION AND WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF RUST. THIS DISCONNECT BETWEEN MUFFLER AND TAILPIPE ALLOWED HOT EXHAUST TO MELT WIRING HARNESS THAT RUNS ALONG THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS DAMAGE TO THE WIRING HARNESS RESULTED IN LOSS TO ABS, ECM, TRACTION CONTROL, FUEL PUMP, FUEL PUMP TEMP SENSOR, EVAP PRESSURE SENSOR, EVAP VENT CONTROL VALVE, RR ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. *TR

As I backed into a parking spot I proceeded to try to switch from drive to reverse to straighten out and the lever went floppy. I am stuck in drive with the emergency brakes engaged. The wires under the column shifter wore at just the right time to what appears would be the clock spring!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

1 complaint

My fuel gauge on my truck does not work properly. When my gauge shows a quarter tank full its completely empty. The reason i know it doesn't is because it died on me in the middle of an intersection and blocked traffic. The gauge still showed a quarter tank of gas. I had it towed to an auto repair shop and they ended up putting a few gallons of fuel in it and then it started. I do see that there is a recall for this exact issue ( campaign # R1010 and NHTSA # 10v-074 )and i would like to have it repaired before any serious accident happens.

STEERING

1 complaint

MY TITAN HAS ONLY 34617 MILES ON IT AND THE POWER STEERING UNIT WENT BAD AND ALSO SENT METAL SHAVINGS INTO THE RACK AND PINION STEERING. I HAVE TO PAY NISSAN $1200.00 DOLLARS TO FIX THE POWER STEERING UNIT AND TRY TO FLUSH OUT THE METAL SHAVINGS.IF THEY CAN'T FLUSH OUT THE SYSTEM ADD ANOTHER $2500.00 TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION STEERING ON MY TRUCK. $4000.00 TO FIX MY TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 35000 MILES ON IT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE WITH LOW MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND PAMPERED SINCE I BOUGHT IT.I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS TRUCK AND NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO FOOT THIS BILL! HELP!!!!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

1 complaint

HEADLAMP UNIT FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE. WATER INTRUSION INTO THE UNIT CAUSING MOISTURE BUILDUP WITH RESULTING CLOUDINESS, CALCIUM LIKE ETCHING, AND SPIDER WEB-LIKE CRACKING OF THE PLASTIC LENS. POOR UV SUN BLOCKING ABILITY OF THE PLASTIC LENS TO RETARD YELLOWING & CLOUDING. THESE DEFECTS IN THE HEADLAMP UNIT CONSTRUCTION PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD ISSUE AT NIGHT AS IT REDUCES THE EFFECTIVENESS AND ABILITY TO PROJECT LIGHT BEAM AT LEVELS NECESSARY FOR CLEAR VISUAL FIELD. THIS VEHICLE HAS INCURRED COMPLETE HEADLAMP UNIT ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENTS TO BOTH DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDES TWICE SINCE VEHICLE PLACED INTO NEW SERVICE IN 2009. IT APPEARS THE CHEAP PLASTIC LENS COVERS USED IN MANUFACTURING IS THE CULPRIT. USE OF GLASS FOR LENS WOULD ELEMINATE THESE PROBLEMS AS GLASS DOES NOT DETERIORATE WITH SUN OR MOISTURE.

SEATS

1 complaint

THE SEAT FOAM IS POOR QUALITY - THE SEAT FRAME CUT THROUGH THE FOAM AND I CAN NOW FEEL IT ON MY BACK AND BOTTOM SEAT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY NISSAN REPLACED THE BACK SEAT FOAM TWO OR THREE TIMES DUE TO THE FRAME PUSHING THROUGH THE FOAM. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND UNLESS I WANT TO SPEND A $1,000+ TO REPLACE THE SEAT I AM STUCK WITH THE PLEASURE OF FEELING THE METAL FRAME PUSHING INTO ME IN WHILE DRIVING VICE THE COMFORT OF THE CUSHIONS THAT SHOULD BE BETWEEN THE SEAT FRAME AND ME. I DOUBT IT IS SAFE TO HAVE SUCH LITTLE CUSHION BETWEEN ME AND THE SEAT FRAME IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.
