2004 NISSAN TITAN, THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS A TURN KNOB ON THE END OF THE SIGNAL LIGHT SWITCH AND IT TURNS VERY EASY. IT HAS A PROTRUDING EDGE ON THE TURN SWITCH TO PROVIDE YOUR FINGERS WITH TRACTION TO TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND OFF. PROBLEM IS OFTEN WHEN YOU GO TO DIM THE LIGHTS (THE DIMMING IS DONE BY PULLING THE SIGNAL LIGHT LEVER TO YOU) THE SWITCH TURNS SO EASY IT OFTEN TURNS THE LIGHTS OFF. I AM A 53 YEAR OLD DRIVER THAT HAS DRIVEN MILLIONS OF MILES IN BOTH PASSENGER VEHICLES AND HEAVY TRUCKS. A NUMBER OF TIMES THIS FAILURE HAS HAPPENED AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HAVE NO LIGHTS I FIND THIS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. MY CONCERN IS NOT FOR MYSELFSO MUCH BUT FOR A INEXPERIANCED DRIVER PANICING WHEN THE LGIHTS WENT OUT AT HIGH SPEED IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT LIKE AS IT HAS WITH ME AND NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO CALCULATE WHAT THE FAILURE WAS FAST ENOUGH TO TURN THEM BACK ON BEFORE CAUSING A VERY BAD ACCIDENT.*AK

I LEASED A TITAN CREW LE ON TAX DAY 2004. AT 5000 MILES, THE FRONT ROTORS WERE SHOT AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY UPON BRAKING ON THE FREEWAY. THE TRUCK WOULD ALSO PULL ONE DIRECTION OR ANOTHER UPON BRAKING. THE DEALERSHIP (KAYSER NISSAN) FIXED THE PROBLEM. AT 10,000 MILES, THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP THIS TIME SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLACE THE ROTORS BUT SHAVED THEM DOWN AND REPLACED THE SLIDERS. AT 15,000 MILES, THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. I'VE TRIED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP IN TOWN WITH A BETTER REPUTATION FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET PARTS FOR OVER 3 WEEKS. IN THE MEAN TIME, MY KIDS HAVE TO DRIVE IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. I TOW NOTHING WITH THIS TRUCK. *JB

TITAN WITH FULL MFG TOW PACKAGE PURCHASED TO TOW TRAVEL TRAILER. TITAN RATED BY DEALER & MFG TO TOW 9,400 LBS AND GVWR AT 14,600 LBS. WHEN TOWING 8,000 LBS (GVW WAS 13,500) AT 50 MPH ON FLAT ROAD, NO WIND, APPROX 85 DEG F TRANSMISSION TEMP ROSE INTO DANGER ZONE. WEIGHTS WERE CONFIRMED AT CERTIFIED SCALE. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER WITH DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM. DEALER SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH VEHICLE BUT TOW WAS TOO HEAVY. MFG AGREED WITH DEALER THAT TOW WAS TOO HEAVY AFTER CONSULTING WITH THEIR ENGINEERS. NEITHER COULD EXPLAIN HOW 8,000 LBS WAS HEAVIER THAN 9,600 LBS. MFG ASKED IF I WOULD AGREE TO A TEST DRIVE. I AGREED BUT DEALER WAS NON RESPONSIVE AND NOT AVAILABLE. NOTHING WAS DONE AND WE WERE FORCED TO TRADE TRAILER FOR LOWER WEIGHT TRAILER. WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN JULY 2004 ON A HILL WITH 6,340 LB (GVW 12,140) TOW. I ADVISED MGF AGAIN AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. *AK
