2004 Nissan Titan

I AM IN THE MILITARY STATIONED IN VIRGINIA... I HAD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END OF MY TRUCK PRIOR TO THANKSGIVING. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE U JOINTS ARE GOING BAD. DIDN'T SOUND LIKE A U JOINT, SO I ASKED NISSAN WOULD IT BE OK FOR ME TO DRIVE THE TRUCK 440 MILES EACH WAY TO GO HOME TO WV TO SEE MY FAMILY FOR THANKSGIVING AND THEY SAID YES, IT WILL BE FINE. SO I GO HOME AND SAW MY FAMILY, AND THEN THE SATURDAY MORNING AFTER THANKSGIVING I GOT UP EARLY AND WENT AND STOPPED AND GOT GAS. GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT UP AND WHEN TO PUT IT IN GEAR, AND THE WHOLE REAR END JUST GRINDED. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE JUST TO DRIVE TO MY SISTER HOUSE AND CALLED NISSAN. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK FOR 14 DAYS, AND ORDERING A NEW REAR END FOR A 2 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK, THEY DECIDED THAT THEY COULD NOT GET A NEW REAR END DUE TO NATION BACKORDER, SO THEY PULL ONE OFF OF A 06 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 AND THEN I GOT TO RETURN BACK TO VA TO ASSUME MY MILITARY DUTIES, AFTER BEING STUCK IN WV FOR 2 WEEKS. THEY DID GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR, BUT PUT A RESTRICTION ON THE CAR WHEN I COULD ONLY DRIVE 150 MILES A DAY. SO I COULDN'T GO BACK TO WORK IN VA. I DID MISS OUT ON WORK, AND TIME, AND HAD TO USE 2 WEEKS OF MY VACATION DAYS, BUT MOST IMPORTANT, THIS COULD HAVE HAPPEN DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, OR IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND COULD HAVE PUT MY LIFE & OTHERS AROUND ME AT DANGER! NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM, OR FIX IT RIGHT. BEFORE PEOPLE DIE! THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND WHENEVER MY GAS TANK IS LOW AND I GO TO FILL UP AFTER A WHILE GAS WILL START TO GUSH OUT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LIKE ALWAYS THEY CAN'T "DUPLICATE". I KNOW OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WHERE GAS SQUIRTS OUT. THIS IS A HEATH AND SAFTEY ISSUE. THE GAS HAS GUSHED BACK OUT AT ME SEVERAL TIMES.. AND IT HAPPENS ABOUT 30 SECONDS AFTER YOU START PUMPING GAS. *NM

THE TRUCK FIRST BEGAN SHIFTING FUNNY, WHICH LED UP TO SHIFTING WITH A NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. SEARCHED FOR HANGING BRANCHES OR ANYTHING THAT COULD BE MAKING THE NOISE OTHER THEN THE TRUCK. NOTHING. DROVE THE TRUCK ABOUT 500 MILES AFTER FIRST NOTICING THE FUNNY SHIFTING. ONE DAY I PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY PUT IT IN DRIVE, IT HAD SNOWED LIGHTLY, SLIP LIGHT POPPED UP AND HEARD A BANG FOLLOWED BY WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A ZIPPER. TRUCK WOULDN'T MOVE. SOLD TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER. *JB

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE IN MY NISSAN TITAN PICKUP. STARTED AS A CLUNK WHEN CHANGING GEARS FROM PARK TO DRIVE AROUND 9,700 MILES ON THE TRUCK. EVENTUALLY LED UP TO A FEELING OF SLACK IN THE DRIVLINE, A FEELING AS IF THE U-JOINTS WERE GOING OUT. BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY ONE DAY AND A LOUND POP FOLLOWED BY GRINDING OCCURED. HAD IT TOWED DOWN TO JOHANSON NISSAN AND THEY REPLACED IT, BUT TOOK OVER 30 DAYS SINCE THERE WAS A NATIONAL BACKORDER FOR THE REAR DIFF. THIS HAPPENDED IN FEBURARY OF 05, AND I WAS #12 ON THE PARTS LIST. REPLACEMENT DIFF ONLY LASTED AROUND 7,000 MILES AND WENT OUT AS WELL. BOTH REAR DIFF FAILURES WERE CAUSED BE BROKEN SPIDER GEARS. DEALERSHIP AGREED TO BUY BACK TRUCK. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPING THE FRONT END VIBRATED. TWICE WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, NOTHING HAPPENED AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE OFF THE ROAD, AND DENTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NINE TIMES FOR THESE PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP ROTATED THE TIRES ONCE, CHANGED THE BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, AND DISCS, AND REPLACED THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT VIBRATING AS MUCH, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. *AK UPDATED 12/7/2005. *NM

RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR WARRANTY SERVICE AND WAS MADE AWARE OF A POSSIBLE DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE , DEALER STATED THAT PARTS WOULD BE REPLACED UNDER THE MANUFACTURES' WARRANTY. AFTER WAITING FOR TWO MONTHS I PROCEEDED TO SEARCH INTERNET SITES FOR OTHER FAILURES AND FOUND NUMEROUS FAILURES REPORTED ON SEPARATE SITES. REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO VEHICLE MANUFACTURE AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE OR REPLACEMENT OF FAULTY PARTS. *NM
