OK I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITIAN I BOUGHT FROM [XXX]IN LITTLE ROCK VERY GOOD GUY, ITS A 4WD NEVER BEEN IN THE MUD NOT ONCE WELL JUST YESTERDAY I PULLED OUT TO FOLLOW MY FRIEND [XXX] TO SUBWAY WHEN I DID MY WHOLE TRUCK JERKED AND MADE A LOUD POP THEN EVERYTIME I TURNED IT MADE THE SAME NOISE AND WHEN I DROVE TO THE SHOP WITH IT WAS BOUNCING MY WHOLE TAILGATE UP AND DOWN... COME TO FIND OUT THAT MY REAR END BURNED UP IN MY TRUCK AND WAS GOING TO B ABOUT AS MUCH MONEY TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN TO GET IT FIXED.... I HAVE NEVER SEEN A REAR END GO OUT ON A TRUCK THAT'S PRACTICALLY NEW WITH ONLY 100K MILES ON IT... VERY DISAPPOINTED WILL NOT BEING BUYING ANOTHER TITIAN AGAIN IMA STICK WITH TOYOTA.

DESIGN FLAW ON NISSAN TITAN DUE TO EXHAUST LEAK WHICH WILL THEN BURN THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND THE TRUCK WILL STOP ALL OF SUDDEN WITH LOST OF POWER AND BRAKES, WHICH MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS. *TR WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK FROM CAMPING TRIP WITH TRAVEL TRAILER IN TOW. ON INTERSTATE 81 NEAR WILKES BARRE, PA...WE WERE GOING 65 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ENGINE STOPPED, WE HAD A LOST OF POWER AND BRAKES AND HAD TO CRIPPLE TOWARDS THE SHOULDER AND COULDN'T START THE ENGINE AGAIN. WHAT CAUSED THIS FAILURE IS THE TAIL PIPE CAME LOOSE DUE TO RUST AND THE HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST BURNED THE ELECTRICAL WIRING THAT WAS PLACED ALONGISDE THE EXHAUST CAUSING THE ENGINE COMPUTER TO MALFUNCTION. WE HAD TO PAY $1,300.00 TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED NOT INCLUDING ONE NIGHT HOTEL STAY AND RENTING A CAR BACK HOME BECAUSE THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR A FEW DAYS AND HAVING TO DRIVE BACK UP TO PICK UP THE TRUCK WITH THE TRAVEL TRAILER AND BRING THEM ALL BACK HOME. THE DISTANCE IS 156 MILES FROM WHERE IT BROKE DOWN TO WHERE WE LIVE. I BELIEVE THERE'S A DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, SERVICE MANAGER IN WILKES BARRE ACKNOWLEDGED SEVERAL OTHER TITANS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN THERE IS AN EXHAUST LEAK AS WELL AS OUR LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGED THE SAME. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE PROTECTED THE WIRING IN THE EXHAUST AREA WITH HEAT SHIELD OF SOME SORT. EXHAUST LEAKS OVER TIME, IT'S THE NATURE OF THE EXHAUST BUT IT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE CUSTOMERS TO PAY $1,300.00 TO GET THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM REPAIRED. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ASKING FOR ASSISTING IN THE REPAIR COST DUE TO DESIGN FLAW, THEY DECLINED ASSISTANCE INDICATING THAT IT IS MY NEGLIGENCE THAT THE TAILPIPE SEPARATED FROM THE MUFFLER. NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD WITH A DANGLING TAILPIPE NEEDS TO HAVE ELECTRICAL WIRINGS REPLACED BECAUSE OF THAT, IT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T RUN THE WIRINGS PARALLEL TO THE EXHAUST. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN HAS TWO CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THEY ARE CRACKED INTO TWO PIECES AND ARE ALLOWING CARBON MONIXIDE TO ESCAPE FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ADJACENT TO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LETHAL FAILURE DUE TO CO POISIONING. NISSAN HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND WILL NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR REPORTED CASES. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND I UNDERSTAND NISSAN'S RELUCTANCE, FINANCIALLY, TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS NATURE OF THE DESIGNED FLAW THAT CAUSED THE FAILURE I BELIEVE THAT A RECALL IS JUSTIFIED. I AM VERY WILLING TO TAKE THE STEPS REQUIRED TO INITIATE A RECALL, BUT I AM NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB, WHICH I PURCHASED IT IN NOVEMBER OF 2005. AFTER, APPROXIMATELY 30DAYS OF OWNERSHIP AND 500 MILES OF TRAVEL; THE FRONT BRAKES BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE COMPLICATIONS (THEY WOULD SHUDDER WHILE BRAKING AND CREATE AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF BRAKE DUST.) I QUICKLY RETURN TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, FOR SERVICING. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE ROTORS. DURING THE SUMMER OF 2006, I BEGAN TO NOTICE A MUSTY ODOR EMITTING FROM THE FLOOR AND CARPETING OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND REQUESTED THE MECHANIC TO INSPECT THE TRUCK FOR THE CAUSE OF THE ODOR. THEY COULDN'T LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE ODOR. I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS, DURING THE SUMMER OF 2007 ODOR REAPPEARED; THEY REPLACED THE RUBBER GASKET AROUND DOOR WINDOWS IN HOPES OF RESOLVING THE ISSUE. MEANWHILE THE FRONT BRAKES ROTORS WERE REPLACED AGAIN AND THE GAUGES (FUEL, OIL, TACH ,VOLTMETER) ACTING ERRATICALLY. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE BRAKES UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY & PRORATED MY PURCHASE OF A NEW NISSAN AUTO BATTERY; ACCORDING TO SERVICE DEPT. THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE GAUGES MALFUNCTION. THEN AGAIN IN2008, I WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WERE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THE MUSTY ODOR WAS CAUSED BY WATER COMING INTO THE CABIN VIA A SMALL VOID IN THE WINDOW SEALANT AROUND THE "FACTORY INSTALLED WINDSHIELD' UPON HEARING THIS, I CHOSE TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC DUE TO NISSAN MECHANIC INABILITY TO RESOLVE THE BRAKE ISSUE & LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE WATER. THIS YEAR 2009, THE REAR END WAS REPAIRED DUE THE SEALS LEAKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PREVENTIVE REPLACEMENT ON THE PASSENGER SEALS. HOWEVER, A FEW OLD ISSUES ALONG WITH NEW ONES THAT STILL EXIST. MY NEW MECHANIC TOLD ME THE SOURCE OF THE WATER & ODOR ISSUE IS THE A/C CONDENSER LEAKING INTO THE CABIN, THE BLINKING AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS DUE TO A HARNESS NEEDING REPLACING IN THE REAR DOORS. *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.
Mar 3, 2010
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2009 TITAN, ARMADA, AND INFINITI QX56 VEHICLES. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE MAY INACCURATELY DISPLAY THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL SENDER UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW IMPROVED SENDER CARD. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
Jun 27, 2008
NISSAN IS RECALLING 180,664 MY 2005-2006 TITAN, ARMADA AND INFINITY QX56 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER MARCH 17, 2005, THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH A VISTEON AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAN MOTOR. THE FAN MOTOR MAY NOT BE PROPERLY SEALED ALLOWING EXCESSIVE WATER INTRUSION AND INADEQUATE DRAINAGE OF MOISTURE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE CORROSION IN THE MOTOR LEADING POSSIBLY TO OVERHEATING AND A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A 'THERMAL PROTECTOR KIT' AND TEST THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAN MOTOR AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 2, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

ON CERTAIN KING CAB TRUCKS, THE WIRES IN THE HARNESS WERE ROUTED THROUGH THE REAR DOORS AND INTO THE BODY. THESE WIRES MAY BREAK DUE TO OVER BENDING OF THE HARNESS AS THE DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED. THE HARNESS CONTAINS WIRES FOR THE DRIVER SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER AND FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WHICH IS PART OF THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. WIRES FOR THE REAR AUDIO SPEAKERS ARE ALSO CONTAINED N THE HARNESS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE WIRES FOR THE SEAT BELTS AND SPEAKER WIRES BREAK AND MAKE CONTACT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE PRETENSIONER MAY DEPLOY. IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS RETRACTED, IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO USE THE SEAT BELT. IF ONE OF THE WIRES ON THE RIGHT SIDE HARNESS FOR THE SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR BREAKS, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AS DESIGNED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH AND PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIRE HARNESS COVER WITH A DIFFERENT TYPE THAT PREVENTS OVER BENDING OF THE HARNESS AND THE HARNESS WILL BE REROUTED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 19, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
