IN 6 MONTHS I HAVE REPLACED 2 OXYGEN SENSORS AND NOW FOR THE 2ND TIME I AM REPLACING THE EVAP CANISTER CONTROL VALVE. NISSAN SEEMS TO IGNORE ALL OF THESE ISSUES AND HAS REDESIGNED MANY OF THESE PROBLEM AREAS IN NEWER MODELS HOWEVER DOES NOT OWN UP TO FIXING THE ISSUES ON VEHICLES THAT ARE ON THE ROAD. *TR

IN APRIL 2011 MY REAR AXLE SEALS ON MY NISSAN TITAN WERE LEAKING. I HAD THESE SEALS REPLACED WITH GENUINE NISSAN PARTS. NOT EVEN 11 MONTHS LATER, I WAS COMING HOME FROM CAMPING, AND AT APPROX 45 MPH I HEARD A LOUD POP, AND METAL ON METAL IN MY REAR WHEELS. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND FOUND A MECHANIC WITHIN .2 OF A MILE. HE TOLD ME THAT MY REAR AXLES SEALS FAILED, BLEW OUT THE BEARINGS, AND THE ONLY THING HOLDING MY WHEEL ON WAS THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO NISSAN, AND HAVE A WHOLE NEW REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY INSTALLED ($4000). THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS TO NISSAN ABOUT THESE REAR AXLES FAILING, STARTING WITH THE SEALS....THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS SEEN MANY OF THESE TRUCKS COME IN FOR NEW REAR AXLES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM NISSAN OWNERS AS WELL. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT, BUT WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IF I DIDN'T PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY, MY WHEEL MIGHT HAVE FALLEN OFF (ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC). I'M ASKING FOR SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU. *TR

IN AUGUST OF 2010 WAS THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND DIED WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN STREET GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. LATER I DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF GAS DESPITE THE FUEL GAUGE BEING AT 1/4 TANK. TODAY, AFTER NEARLY 1 1/2 OF KEEPING MY TRUCK ABOVE 1/4 TANK AND LOGGING MY MILES, THE VEHICLE ENGINE POWER DIED ON ME AND FAILED TO START BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN IT WAS OUT OF FUEL...THIS TIME READING JUST UNDER 1/2 TANK. BOTH SITUATIONS ARE EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND CAUSED UNNECESSARY STRESS. I'VE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ARE AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON THE NISSAN TITAN MODEL TRUCKS BUT CAN NOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT THE OFFICIAL RECALL. IT IS WIDELY KNOWN THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME OF THE NISSAN TITAN MODELS AND SHOULD BE EXTENDED THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE FAILING FUEL SYSTEMS BEFORE MYSELF OR SOMEONE IS FACED WITH EXTREME INJURY. *TR *JS

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.
Nov 30, 2006
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.
