469 reportsMY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HALF SHAFT HAS BROKEN INSIDE MY DIFFERENTIAL CASE AND RUINED THE DIFF I UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH NISSAN TITAN TRUCKS. I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE TRUCK BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSSUE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE.
THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT , NOW THE STEERING COLUMN SEPARATED FROM THE RACK AND PINION.

7/15/19 3:40 PM RUSH HOUR, BEGAN ENTERING A STATE RD TO CROSS BOTH LANES, TRAFFIC TRAVELING BOTH DIRECTIONS POSTED 55 MPH MOVED IN A STRAIGHT LINE HALFWAY INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT SUDDENLY COULD NOT ACCELERATE. HAD TO QUICKLY REVERSE TO AVOID TBONE SITUATION FROM BOTH SIDES. SCARED ME HORRIBLY. BACKED UP MORE TRIED AGAIN TO GO FORWARD BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED. ENGINE WAS REVVING AT HIGH RPMS BUT TRUCK WOULD ONLY MOVE INCHES AT A TIME IN FORWARD MOTION. SO I TRAVELED BACKWARDS IN REVERSE THE LENGTH OF THE WHOLE STREET I WAS ON TO GET BACK TO MY DRIVEWAY AND BACKED UP MY DRIVEWAY WHERE I PARKED AND CALLED FOR A RIDE FROM MY HVAC TECH WHO WAS MEETING ME AT MY CHURCH TO INSTALL MUCH NEEDED AC UNIT. ONLY A COUPLE DAYS EARLIER, I HAD FLUID LEAKING AND TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR REPAIR, THE TECH INFORMED ME THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ANTIFREEZE TANK HAD FAILED. THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED, THE TANK, RADIATOR AND FLUID REPLACED. HE TOLD ME IT HAPPENED ALL THE TIME WITH NISSANS. I WILL ATTACH INVOICE FROM HIGHLY REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOP.

FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HAS AXLE POPPED OUT, AFTER RESEARCHING I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NISSAN HAS REDESIGNED THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I HAVE TWO OPTIONS, FIRST TO TAKE TO A SHOP AND HAVE THEM REPLACE THE C CLIP ONLY TO FAIL AGAIN DOWN THE ROAD OR SECOND TO REPLACE THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WITH THE FLAWED DESIGN FOR OVER $2500. WOULD LIKE TO SEE NISSAN ISSUE A RECALL TO CORRECT THE FLAWED DESIGN. THIS TRUCK IS USED ON ROAD ONLY AND I ONLY ENGAGE THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WHEN IT SNOWS AND ONLY USE AT LOW SPEEDS FOR A SHORT DISTANCE, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OF MY TRUCK GAVE OUT AND STARTED SMOKING. I LOST ALL POWER TO CONTROL THE MOMENTUM OF THE TRUCK, ALMOST CAUSING IT TO FLIP BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF CHANGING LANES WHILE DRIVING 73 MPH.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OF MY TRUCK GAVE OUT AND STARTED SMOKING. I LOST ALL POWER TO CONTROL THE MOMENTUM OF THE TRUCK, ALMOST CAUSING IT TO FLIP BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF CHANGING LANES WHILE DRIVING 73 MPH. I MANAGED TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND UPON INSPECTION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR AXLE I FOUND ALL FLUID HAD LEAKED OUT ONTO THE REAR WHEEL AND IT WAS SMOKING. I TRIED PUTTING THE TRUCK IN GEAR TO SEE IF I COULD MOVE BUT THERE WAS NO POWER BEING PROVIDED TO THE DRIVE TRAIN. THE ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION IS THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL GAVE OUT. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 91006 MILES ON IT AND IF THIS HAD OCCURRED ON ONE OF THE CURVES I AND MY FAMILY WOULD ALL BE IN THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT A REPAIR SHOP AWAITING REPAIRS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY NISSAN TITAN 2005 STARTED SHAKING WHILE DRIVING ON A MODERN TRAFFIC. I SUDDENLY STARTED LOSING CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND THANK GOD I MANAGE EXIT THE FREEWAY WITH THE SPEED I MANAGE TO CONTROL. I PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT AND TRIED TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. MY TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO TURN ON AND I HAD 1/4 OF GAS LEFT SO IT WAS IMPOSIBLE I NEEDED GAS AFTER TRYING DIFFERENT METHODS, I WALKED TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION, BOUGHT A GALLON OF GAS WITH ITS PROPER FUEL CONTAINER AND ADDED TO MY TRUCK THEN IT TURN ON. I CONTACTED MY NEAREST NISSAN DEALER AND THEY FIXED 2 RECALLS THAT MY TRUCK ALREADY HAD BUT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO FIX MY MAIN PROBLEM WHICH IS THE FUEL PUMP. AND I READ MANY NISSAN TITAN 2005 ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND THE RECALL NUMBER (10V074000) WHICH THE DEALER I ATTENDED DIDN'T WANT TO FIX IT. IT'S BEEN A BAD EXPERIENCE BECAUSE I COULD OF CRASH AND IT COULDN'T GONE WORSE DUE TO MY GAS NOT BEEN CORRECTLY PLUS I MISSED WORK AND IT'S JUST PUTTING STRESS ON ME I NEED THIS FIX THANK YOU

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK ON A MAIN ROAD AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE MY TRUCK WAS BARELY MOVING, UNLESS I PUT THE PEDAL TO THE GROUND. THE TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND AFTER LOOKING INTO IT, THE CODES P1757 AND P1759 CAME UP FOR THE FRONT BREAK SOLENOID VALVE AND AFTER EXAMINING THE TCM, I NOTICED THE PIN SNAPPED FOR THE FRONT BREAK SOLENOID, HENCE MAKING THE TRUCK GO INTO LIMP MODE. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND NOTICED THAT MULTIPLE 2005 NISSAN TITANS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OF THIS PIN SNAPPING CAUSING THE TRUCK TO GO INTO LIMP MODE BECAUSE THE SOLENOID RECEIVES NOW POWER. I WAS TURNING ONTO A MAIN ROAD WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 35 SO I ACCELERATED THINKING IT WOULD DO SO NORMAL AND MAKE IT BEFORE AN ONCOMING CAR WAS COMING, WHEN THE TRUCK WAS SLOWLY MOVING IN FRONT OF THE INCOMING CAR, I HAD TO QUICKLY PUT THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE TO AVOID THE ON COMING CAR BECAUSE I WAS EXCEPTING TO MAKE THE TURN BEFORE THE CAR WOULD COME BUT THE TRUCK GOING INTO LIMP MODE CAUSE THE TRUCK TO TAKE MUCH LONGER TO BARELY MAKE THAT TURN. I WAS LUCKY TO REVERSE QUICK ENOUGH FOR I DO NOT KNOW IF THE INCOMING CAR WOULD HAVE STOPPED OR SLOWED DOWN IN TIME.
I NOTICED OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY. HOWEVER, I WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOURCE INITIALLY. THE LAST INCIDENT I RETURNED HOME FROM WORK. AS I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE, I NOTICED MORE OIL ON THE GROUND. I STARTED LOOKING UNDER MY TRUCK AGAIN. THIS TIME I FOUND EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE. I TOOK MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN T…

I NOTICED OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY. HOWEVER, I WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOURCE INITIALLY. THE LAST INCIDENT I RETURNED HOME FROM WORK. AS I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE, I NOTICED MORE OIL ON THE GROUND. I STARTED LOOKING UNDER MY TRUCK AGAIN. THIS TIME I FOUND EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE. I TOOK MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN TO THE REPAIR SHOP. UPON COMPLETION OF THEIR INSPECTION, I WAS GIVEN A COPY OF NISSAN'S SERVICE BULLETIN REFERENCE #NTB10-032 2004 - 2008 TITAN, REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKS. THEIR LISTED REQUIRED ACTION IS TO "INSTALL THE NEW AXLE SHAFT ASSEMBLY---WHICH INCLUDES A NEW RETAINER, AXLE BEARING, OIL SEAL, BEARING CAGE, AND ABS ROTOR---LISTED IN THE PARTS INFORMATION TABLE". IMMEDIATELY BELOW ACTION IS A NOTE WHICH STATES "DO NOT REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY FOR THIS INCIDENT, IF IT SHOULD OCCUR". I CONTACTED NHTSA WHO THEN REFERRED ME TO NISSAN @ 800-647-7261. ONCE IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN, THE REPRESENTATIVE ASKED FOR THE LAST SIX NUMBERS OF THE VIN, PLACED ME ON HOLD, AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES SHE CAME BACK AND REFERRED ME TO MY INITIAL POINT OF CONTACT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT JUST A SERVICE BULLETIN. IT WOULD BE VERY TRAGIC TO HEAR OF A FATALITY AS A RESULT OF A FAULTY PRODUCT. READING THE MANY REVIEWS FROM TITAN OWNERS IT IS EVIDENT THE PART IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH.
COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO FAULTY RADIATOR DESIGN. COOLANT MIXED WITH ATF, FROM INTERNAL TRANSFER COOLER LEAK.

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.
