I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN LE CREW CAB 4WD PICKUP TRUCK AND JUST EXPERIENCED A DANGEROUS FAILURE OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. AFTER SOME INITIAL THUMPING SOUNDS EMANATING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE DURING TURNS, I WAS TURNING INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE ENTIRE REAR END LOCKED UP MOMENTARILY. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO AN AUTO REPAIR FACILITY ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE GEARS IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED (TEETH BROKEN OFF). VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT A COST OF OVER $3,000. I WILL SAVE THE FAILED PART. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE WEB, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON AND EXPENSIVE OCCURRENCE. GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE (REAR WHEEL LOCKING), I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BEHIND ME. *TR

TAIL PIPE FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE 2 WEEKS AFTER NISSAN PERFORMED THEIR 27 POINT INSPECTION, WHICH SUPPOSEDLY INCLUDED CHECKING THE MUFFLER, EXHAUST PIPES AND MOUNTINGS. A SECOND NISSAN DEALERSHIP (OUT OF TOWN) INFORMED US THAT THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND WAS ACTUALLY TALKING TO ANOTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNER THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN. THE OUT OF TOWN DEALERSHIP MECHANIC EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE CLAMPS THEY USE TO HOLD THE TAIL PIPE ON JUST BEHIND THE MUFFLER, RUST OFF?? SO WHY DO THEY USE THEM??? UPON RETURNING HOME WE CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT PERFORMED THE 27 POINT INSPECTION (????) HE SKIRTED THE ISSUE THAT THE BOX FOR THE "MUFFLER, EXHAUST PIPES AND MOUNTINGS" INSPECTION WAS CHECKED OFF AS "CHECKED AND OKAY" AND INFORMED US THAT IT WAS A COSTLY FIX. NOTHING WAS DONE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND NO APOLOGIES WERE MADE FOR THE OBVIOUS OVERLOOK OF A RUSTY CLAMP THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT HAD IT FALLEN COMPLETELY OFF, ESPECIALLY TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON A BUSY INTERSTATE ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND, HAD WE NOT HEARD THE CLANGING OF THE PIPE BANGING AGAINST THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK. *TR

I BELIEVE THAT THE NISSAN TITANS HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THEIR BRAKES. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW IN 2005 WITH 14 MILES SHOWING ON THE ODOMETER. AFTER THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATED A LOT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. I NEVER LEAVE MY FOOT ON OR RIDE THE BRAKE PEDAL NOR DO I USE THE BRAKES EXCESSIVELY, MOST OF THE MILES ON THE VEHICLE ARE HIGHWAY MILES BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS USED MOSTLY FOR VACATION PURPOSES. I DO HOWEVER TOW A SMALL 6 BY 12 FOOT BOX TRAILER WITH 4 BICYCLES IN IT, WHICH MAKES FOR A LIGHT LOAD. IT HAS CONTINUED TO PROGRESS AND BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED AS THE VEHICLE AGES. AT AROUND 13,000 MILES THE BRAKES SOMETIMES GRAB OR WOULD NOT STOP WITH OUT APPLYING EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL MUCH MORE THAN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, THIS WOULD BRING THE TRUCK TO A SHAKING, ROUGH OR SOMETIMES TIRE SQUEALING STOP. AT 13,300 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, THEY SAID THEY COULD TRY MACHINING THE ROTORS FOR AROUND $440 OR REPLACE THE ROTORS WHICH WOULD COST QUITE A BIT MORE, HOWEVER THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE TRUCK STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 14,991 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I FEEL IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE OUT OF ABOUT 10 NEW VEHICLES THAT I PURCHASED WHICH HAS BRAKE PROBLEMS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN (SE CREW CAB 4X4 OFF-ROAD EDITION WITH TOW PACKAGE) AND STARTED HEARING A LOUD METAL ON METAL SOUND FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. I ALSO COULD FEEL A LARGE JOLT WHEN ACCELERATING AND BRAKING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW REAR DIFFERENTIAL, AND THAT I ALSO NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SEAL ON THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST $3,500 TO REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND $400 TO FIX THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 67,000 MILES ON IT, AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD ALL THE RECOMMENDED SERVICES ON THE VEHICLE, AND DO NOT USE THE VEHICLE FOR OFF-ROADING, NOR DO I USE THE VEHICLE TO TOW. NISSAN SAID THEY WOULD ONLY CONTRIBUTE A THOUSAND DOLLARS TOWARD THE REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP ORDERED THE PARTS TODAY. THIS IS YET ANOTHER TITAN TO ADD TO THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS LIST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. SHE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS AIDED BY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE BUT WAS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000- FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER: STORAGE: FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000. THE CONSUMER WANTED TO KNOW THE STATUS OF HER COMPLAINT UPDATED EVOQ 09/13/10
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.
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.
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.
