2004 Nissan Titan

2004 NISSAN TITAN 4X4. I HAD THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAIL WHILE DRIVING ON A SNOW PACKED ROAD. WHEN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED THERE WAS A SECOND OR TWO WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THEN RELEASED .IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. MY SPEED AT THE TIME WAS ABOUT 15 TO 20 MPH. THE FRONT HAD FAILED AND WAS REPLACED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND HAVE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS. THERE IS 51000 MILES ON IT AND AROUND 22,000 MILES I PUT A LIFT ON IT. EVERYTHING WAS FINE WITH THE TRUCK UNTIL I GOT AROUND THE 35,000 MILE RANGE. WHEN I WOULD DRIVE THE TRUCK I WOULD NOTICE LOUD NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I TOOK IT TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP 2 OR 3 TIMES AND THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THAT IT WAS JUST MY SUSPENSION THAT WAS MAKING THE NOISE. NOW IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 15,000 MILES LATER AND I NOTICED A LEAK COMING FROM AROUND THE FRONT AXLE SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST $2300 TO FIX IT. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM ALOT WITH NISSAN TITANS. WHEN I GOT HOME I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND CLOSE TO 100 PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE THE ONE TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK LEAKS ON THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT RAINS THIS HAPPENS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ELECTRICAL WIRING IS LAYING IN A PUDDLE OF WATER. WATER ALSO POURS OUT OF THE DOORS. THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE IS COVERED IN MOLD AND NOW RUST HAS APPEARED. THIS INCLUDES CARPET, SEATS, STEERING WHEEL AND MORE. FRONT RIGHT WHEEL IS ALSO RUSTED. DUE TO THE WATER PROBLEMS THERE IS CONDENSATION ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH MAKES VISIBILITY POOR. ATTEMPTS MADE BY THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM HAS FAILED. *TR

WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN, I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THEN A SHAKE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TELL ME THAT MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL GAVE OUT AND NOW THE WHOLE REAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT WILL COST ME $3000 TO FIX. MY MILEAGE IS 55,600 AND MY WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED IN JULY. NISSAN USA SAID THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME, ESPECIALLY SINCE I DON'T PAY THEM TO DO MY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. *TR

THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE OCCURRED YESTERDAY 11/1/09 AS I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND PUT ON MY BRAKES AND THE BRAKES BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND A SPRING LIKE NOISE OCCURRED. IN ADDITION THE BRAKES WERE SOFT AND SCRAPING SOUND OCCURRED WHEN APPLIED. THIS OCCURRED EACH TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES FOR THE NEXT 4MILES UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ON THE ENTIRE TIME UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TODAY, MONDAY. LATE SATURDAY, I HAD TO MOVE MY VEHICLE AT HOME AND NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY WITHOUT ANY SOUND OR SOFTNESS.THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. AT THAT TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND LEFT THE VEHICLE WITH THE DEALER OVERNIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS LATE IN THE DAY NEAR CLOSING.. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER SAID THEY TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A TEST DRIVE AND IT REACTED NORMALLY AND "IT PROBABLY WAS SOME DIRT/DUST IN AND AROUND THE BRAKES CAUSING THE BRAKES TO STICK'.. THERE WAS NO WORK DONE ON THE VEHICLE. TODAY, THE SAME DEALER LOOKED AT MY VEHICLE AND RAN SOME TESTS AFTER I INSISTED THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE SAME THING HAS OCCURRED. THIS TIME THE DEALER FOUND A DEFECTIVE/WORN DELTA SPEED SENSOR AND RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE WARRANTY EXPIRED 1/1/09.
