I RAN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THE FUEL GAUGE STATED I HAD MORE THAN A 1/4 OF A TANK OF FUEL LEFT. AFTER RESEARCHING AND DISCOVERING NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 10V074000 MANY 2005 NISSAN TITANS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS I ENCOUNTERED. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND DISCUSSED THIS WITH THEM. AFTER GIVING THEM MY VIN, THEY STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN FOR FALSE FUEL GAUGE READINGS OR OTHER ISSUES REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM IN MY VEHICLE. "RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC AND YOURS IS NOT LISTED." WELL, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE'S FUEL GAUGE AS WELL. I WOULD LIKE INFORMATION HOW TO GET MY VEHICLE'S VIN ADDED TO THE LIST OF MALFUNCTIONING FUEL GAUGE ISSUES AND HAVE IT REPLACED BY THE DEALER AS A WARRANTY ITEM, AS OTHERS HAVE DONE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH WHEN WITHOUT NOTICE, I RAN OUT OF GAS. WHEN MY VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS I WAS UNABLE TO USE MY BRAKES, STEERING WAS DIFFICULT AND IF THERE WAS TRAFFIC AHEAD I WOULD OF SURLY CRASHED. THANK YOU *TR

MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS LEAKING JUST AS MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. I DID NOT NOTICE A NOISE ON MINE UNTIL I WENT IN TO A MUFFLER SHOP TO GET A PRICE ON GETTING A DUAL EXHAUST INSTALLED AND THEY SHOWED ME THAT IT WAS CRACKED. AS A RESULT, I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PROBLEM BEGAN, BUT I CAN HEAR IT CONSTANTLY NOW. I HAVE SINCE, DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH OVER THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF TITAN OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW OLD OR NEW THE TITAN IS, OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. SOME ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, SO THEY ARE GETTING A FREE REPAIR, BUT IF IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE, WHY HASN'T A RECALL ALREADY BEEN ISSUED? I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY MUFFLER SHOP TECH'S THAT THE "CAST" THAT NISSAN USED WAS A BAD "CAST" AND THEY HAVE SINCE FIXED IT. IF THE AFTERMARKET MUFFLER TECH KNOWS, THAN NISSAN CERTAINLY SHOULD...OR ELSE THEY SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF IT BY A RECALL BEING ISSUED. THANK YOU. *TR

RIGHT EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACK. EVERY FORUM ON TITAN'S COMPLAIN HOW THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACK AND LEAK WELL BEFORE THEIR TIME AND ALL BEEN UNDER 100K. IT TELLS ME NISSAN DOES A POOR JOB MAKING THAT PART AND IT'S A COSTLY JOB FOR CUSTOMERS TO REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. *TR

WHEN I GOT HOME, I LOOKED AT ALL MY BRAKES AND FOUND THAT THE REAR AXLE SEAL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS LEAKING. GREASE/OIL WAS ALL OVER THE REAR BRAKES. I HAVE HAD THE SEAL REPLACED 3 TIMES NOW. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE DEALER WANTS $1800 TO DO IT AGAIN!! WE NEED A RECALL. *TR

Official recalls
4Oct 28, 2010
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.
