2004 Nissan Titan

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE GAS GAUGE FOR THE 2005 NISSAN TITAN BUT MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN HAS BEEN HAVING THE PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE REGISTERING MORE AND SOMETIMES LESS GAS THAN IS ACTUALLY IN THE VEHICLE FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS BUT IT WAS NOT INCLUDED AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO MAKE THE REPAIR. HOW CAN I GET THIS ISSUE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER? SOMETIMES THE GAS GAUGE WILL DROP ALL THE WAY TO EMPTY WHEN IT HAS MORE THAN HALF A TANK OF GAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A LOUD NOISE COULD BE HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WAS SLUGGISH WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

THE BRAKE LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY 235 (MD) ROAD. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES IT MADE WHAT SEEMS TO BE GRINDING NOISE. THE BRAKES WENT SOFT LUCKILY THE I WAS NEAR A SHOULDER AND AVOIDED A NEAR REAR END WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS CLOSE TO A GAS STATION. I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION WITH THE GRINDING NOISE. I WENT OUTSIDE TO SEE IF THERE WERE AN BRAKE LEAKS OR ANY BRAKE ISSUES AND NOTICED NOTHING. I TURNED ON THE TRUCK AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS GONE AND THE BRAKES WERE NORMAL. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY DEALER AND SHEEHY NISSAN STATED IT WAS THE POWER BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER. NISSAN DEALER STATED THEY HAD A NOTICE ON THIS ISSUE. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. I HAD IT FIXED - WELL $1,428.45 LATER. THE SAD PART - THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 15647 MILES AND LIGHTLY USED. SEEMS THAT THERE ARE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES ON NISSAN TITANS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. INVOICE OF THE SERVICES PERFORMED ARE UPLOADED. DID REMOVE PERSONAL INFORMATION PER INSTRUCTIONS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE.

DRIVESHAFT FAILURE, LEADING TO DIFFERENTIAL LOCK. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE DRIVESHAFT CAME LOOS AND FELL OUT OF THE TRUCK. NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME SO NO ONE WAS HURT! THE PINON YOKE THAT SLIDES ONTO THE PINON GEAR SHAFT OF THE RING AND PINON DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY USING A SPLINE SHAFT. THE PINON NUT HAS COMPLETELY UNTHREADED OFF THE PINON SHAFT,BUT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE THREADS ON THE SPLINE. AS SOON AS THE PINON NUT BEGAN TO BACK OFF IT WOULD ALL THE PINON GEAR TO MOVE AGAINST THE RING GEAR IN A FORWARD AND REARWARD MOTION AGAINST THE SHIMS. THERE IS A WIDE RANGE OF COMPLAINTS OF THE 04 TITAN FORUMS THAT HAVE INDICATED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND DRIVE SHAFT PROBLEMS AND THAT NISSAN HAS COVERED SOME OF THEM UNDER A GOOD WILL WARRANTY. IF THEY ARE KNOWING ABOUT ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND COVERING SOME OF THEM WHY ARE THEY NOT RECALLING THIS. IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND ME THEY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THIS WENT THROUGH THESE WINDOW. SD LYONS (5083369393) HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN AND A WOMAN BEEN PARALYZED FOR LIFE AS THE DRIVE SHAFT WENT THROUGH HER WINDOW AND TOOK OFF HER ROOF AND SLICE HER HEAD. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE BEFORE NISSAN WILL HAVE TO RECALL THIS!

TSB # NTB05-118A 2004 ' 2005 TITAN AND ARMADA; OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE CABLE FREEZES; DOOR DIFFICULT TO CLOSE IN COLD TEMPERATURES NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS WELL AS MANY MANY OTHER OWNERS AFTER DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH. STATIONARY HAPPENS EVERY NIGHT WHEN TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW 30 DEG
