2004 Nissan Titan

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE EXHAUST TAIL PIPE WAS DAMAGED DUE TO AN UNKNOWN OBSTACLE ON THE ROAD SURFACE. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS OPENED, THE PARKING LIGHT ACTIVATED WITHOUT ASSISTANCE AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE TURN SIGNAL WAS NONFUNCTIONAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE TAIL PIPE DISENGAGEMENT CONTRIBUTED TO THE MELTING OF THE WIRING HARNESS. THE VEHICLE IS OPERABLE AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 65,000.

DT: WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING 70 MPH THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY FOUND THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH A COMPUTER CHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER WITHOUT THE KEYS. WITHIN 30 DAYS, THE VEHICLE TURNED ITSELF OFF WHILE GOING 70 MPH. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. ONCE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE GOING TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER WITH THE KEYS. *AK

I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK IN TWICE NOW FOR THE BRAKES AND THE CARPET BEING SOAKING WET FROM THE TRUCK LEAKING SOMEWHEREAND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT NOT TURNING OFF. THEY RESURFACED MY BRAKES AND SAID THE LEAK WAS FROM THE A/C. THEY ALSO TOLD US ABOUT THE BRAKE PROBLEM WITH THE 2004 TITANS AND THAT THEY WOULD PUT US ON A WAITING LIST FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. WE ARE NOW TAKING IT IN AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE FLOOR IS SOAKING WET AND WE HAVE NOT RAN THE A/C. THE BRAKES ARE SHAKING VIOLENTLY AGAIN, AND NOT TO MENTION THE NEW PROBLEM OF THE CARGO LIGHT TURNING ON BY ITSELF WHEN IT IS PARKED. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 8300 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND I ONLY DRIVE 5 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK. THESE ARE MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT ARE OCCURING IN SUCH SHORT TIME OF HAVING THE TRUCK.

CONSUMER EXPERIENCED ROLL BACK WHILE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. THE CONSUMER CAN ALSO REMOVE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN THE 2004 NISSAN TITAN IS NOT IN PARK.*MR CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED NISSAN HEADQUARTERS WHOM REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR COST OF THE COLLISION. CONSUMER ALSO GOT BRAKES REPAIRED BECAUSE WHEN APPLIED CONSUMER FELT VIBRATION. DEALERSHIP FIXED THE PROBLEM 02/12/2005 AND CONSUMER WILL BE RETURNING VEHICLE BECAUSE OF ITS RECURRENCE.*SB

TRUCK VIBRATES VERY ROUGHLY AND BRAKES PUSH DOWN LOW TO THE FLOOR WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. BRAKES WERE FIRST SERVICED AT 4,503 MILES ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2004. AGAIN TRUCK STARTED TO VIBRATE WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, AND HAD TO BE PUSHED HARD AND LOW TO FLOOR. BRAKES WERE AGAIN SERVICED AT 8,795 MILES ON JANUARY 18, 2005. TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 12,565 MILES AND TRUCK AGAIN VIBRATES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, AND BRAKES NEED TO BE PRESSED HARD AND GO LOW TO THE FLOOR. NISSAN HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND WAITING FOR CONTACT FOR SERVICE OF TRUCK. IN ADDITION, THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN NOTED WITH NISSAN: THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS (POSSIBLE DRIVE SHAFT PROBLEM), TRUCK RUNS VERY ROUGH AND LOUD (POSSIBLE BELT TENSION PROBLEM), THE RADIO HAS BAD RECEPTION AND THE DASHBOARD RATTLES. IN ADDITION, IT WAS NOTED TO NISSAN THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR REFLECTS THE DASHBOARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN LOOKING INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR IN ORDER TO CHANGE LANES.*AK

THE VEHICLE THE ATSC LIGHT CAME ON AND IT LOST POWER. THE CONSUMER PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WAITED FOR 2 MINUTES AND THE COMPUTER RESTARTED. THE TRANSMISSION JUST SEEMED TO TO SLOW DOWN. THE DEALER FOUND NO DEFECTS AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE ALSO SMELLED OF ANTIFREEZE, AND THE SWITCH FROM HIGH BEAM TO LOW BEAM TURNS ALL THE LIGHTS OFF. *JB

VEHICLE FAILS TO START. HAS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS IN PAST 7 DAYS. DATE BELOW IS FIRST OCCURRENCE. WHEN IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED TO START ALL APPEARS NORMAL EXCEPT STARTER DOES NOT ENGAGE. WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED TO ON, HEADLIGHTS COME ON REGARDLESS OF POSITION OF HEADLIGHT SWITCH. WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED TO ACC OR OFF, HEADLAMPS WILL NOT LIGHT REGARDLESS OF POSITION OF LIGHT SWITCH. DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED FIRST AS LOSS OF SECURITY CHIP PROGRAMMING, SECOND AS POOR GROUND CONNECTION. REPAIR ATTEMPTS UNSUCCESSFUL THUS FAR.*AK

WHEN WINDOW WAS ALL THE WAY DOWN, TRIED TO ROLL IT UP, IT ACTED LIKE IT WANTED TO COME UP BUT DIDN'T MOVE. TURNED OFF VEHICLE, AND TRIED AGAIN A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD COME UP. THIS HAS HAPPENEND ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. ALSO HAVE PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM (ROCKFORD) RADIO RECPTION AND SOUND QUALITY IS WORST I HAVE EVER HEARD IN ANY VEHICLE, SOMETHING NEEDS DONE ABOUT THIS.*AK

WHILKE DRIVING THE VDC, SLIP AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. THIS IS AN INTERMITTIENT PROBLEM. I WENT TO THE DEALER, QUALITY NISSAN IN TEMECULA CALIFORNIA, ONLY TO GET BLOWN OFF, TOLD COME IN WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. I PAID FOR A FULL WARRANTY 100K MILES AND I AM CONSIDERED A PREFERRED CUSTOMER, RIGHT!. WHEN THE LIGHTS COME ON THE TRUCK SEEMS TO LOSE POWER, WHICH IS A CHACTERISTIC OF THE VDC SYSTEM. THE PROBLEM CONES AND GOES. *AK
