THE AXLE HOUSING SEALS WERE LEAKING ON MY 2004 TITAN SO I BROUGHT IT TO A NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. THE SERVICE MEMBER INFORMED ME THAT REPLACING THE SEALS WOULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY HAD ALREADY TRIED ON NUMEROUS OTHER TRUCKS AND THE NEW SEALS CONTINUED TO LEAK. PENCE NISSAN REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR END UNIT AS THEY DID WITH OTHER TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE REPLACEMENT UNIT WAS NOT THE SAME THAT CAME ON THE TRUCK. I ASKED THE SERVICE MEMBER WHY AND HE STATED THE ORIGINAL UNIT HAS BEEN PROBLEMATIC. *TR

GRINDING NOISE FROM THE REAR OF MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN CAUSED ME TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATES THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL IS BLOWN, AND THAT NEW BEARINGS AND SEALS ARE NEEDED TO FIX. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 71,000 MILES, REGULARLY SERVICED AND HAS NEVER TOWED A THING. *TR

I HAD TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE ON MY TRUCK. THE PEDAL GOES COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR INTERMITTENTLY DURING DRIVING. DEALER REPORTS THEY CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS EVEN AFTER SHOWING THEM THAT THE PEDAL DOES GO TO THE FLOOR. I BELIEVE IT IS A FAULTY MASTER CYLINDER OR BRAKE BOOSTER, AND CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH IF IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY OR AT ANY SIGNIFICANT SPEED. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A TECH BULLETIN AND A RECALL NOTICE SENT OUT ASAP, AND THE REPAIRS TO BE MADE UNDER WARRANTY BY NISSAN. *TR

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 6, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
