BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. THEIR FAILURE EMITTED RAW ENGINE EXHAUST INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT POTENTIALLY ENDANGERING THE LIFE/HEALTH OF THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS DUE TO CARBON DIOXIDE EXPOSURE THROUGH CABIN AIR INLETS WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN. AT THE VERY LEAST, AIR POLLUTION IN VIOLATION OF THE EPA OCCURRED MULTIPLIED BY THE VAST NUMBER OF DOCUMENTED NISSAN EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILURES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

POORLY CONSTRUCTED EXHAUST MANIFOLD(S) EQUIPPED IN 2004-2007 NISSAN TITANS CRACK UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. NEARLY ALL TITANS ON THE ROAD (UP UNTIL ABOUT 2008) ARE EFFECTED BY THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. 2008+ TITANS ARE SAID TO BE EQUIPPED WITH STRONGER MANIFOLDS, BUT THOSE CRACK AS WELL. THIS CRACK, IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF, MAY THROW ERROR CODES WHICH WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO LEAN OUT AND POSSIBLY DESTROY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. ASIDE FROM POSSIBLE ENGINE MALFUNCTION DUE TO THIS CRACK, EXHAUST GASES TO NOT PROPERLY EXHAUST OUT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND SUBSEQUENTLY EXIT THE MANIFOLDS WITHIN THE ENGINE BAY AND ENTER INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN. AS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE ATTACHED TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, THEY CAN BE REPLACED BY THE 8Y/80K MILE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY. HOWEVER, MANY DEALERS WILL NOT LOOK AT THE MANIFOLDS TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE UNTIL AFTER THIS POINT. REPLACING THE MANIFOLDS USING OEM PRODUCTS IS QUITE COSTLY. *KB

2006 NISSAN TITAN SE KING CAB 4X4 OFFROAD BIGTOW. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON MY TITAN CRACKED AND 3 SEPARATE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WOULDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE MANAGERS WOULD CLAIM THAT THEY DID NOT OR COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THESE PARTS ARE COVERED UNDER THE 8 YR/80,000 MILE LONG-TERM EMISSION SYSTEM DEFECTS WARRANTY AND MY TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 69,XXX MILES. THE 3 VISITS TO THE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS SPAN FROM WHEN I GOT THE TRUCK IN 2009 TO 2011. ON MY OWN DIME, I HAD A SHOP REPLACE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND THEY CONFIRMED BOTH WERE CRACKED. I HAVE THEM SITTING IN MY GARAGE FOR FURTHER PROOF. I'M CONSIDERING MAKING A CLAIM W/ NISSAN HQ BUT I KNOW IT'LL BE IN VAIN. THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS OF CRACKED MANIFOLDS ONLINE. MAYBE THIS WARRANTS A RECALL OR NISSAN CAN PRESS THEIR DEALERS TO HANDLE THIS IN A MORE PROFESSIONAL MANNER. *TR

LEAKING MANIFOLD; THIS PART WAS RECALLED BY NISSAN BUT UPON COMPLETION OF FORM, I WAS INFORMED THEY CALCULATED THE MILEAGE TO BE BEYOND THEIR WARRANTY. THE LEFT SIDE MANIFOLD WAS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. NOW THE RIGHT MANIFOLD HAS CRACKED ALSO AND IS LEAKING EXHAUST FUMES. NISSAN IS AWARE THAT I HAVE THE LEFT SIDE MANIFOLD FOR THEIR INSPECTION AND THEIR LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, CONFIRMED THE RIGHT IS ALSO CRACKED. THIS IS A DANGER AND DEFINITE HAZARD DUE TO THE EXHAUST FUMES AND POSSIBLE FIRE YET NISSAN HAS DECLINED ANY ASSISTANCE IN REIMBURSEMENT OR ASSISTANCE IN REPLACING THE RIGHT SIDE MANIFOLD DUE TO THEIR CALCULATION THAT THE MILEAGE WAS BEYOND THEIR WARRANTY COVERAGE. I COULD NOT FIND RECORDS AS TO THE MILEAGE WHEN I REPLACE THE LEFT MANIFOLD. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME WHEN HE REPLACED THE LEFT SIDE MANIFOLD THAT HE WOULD EXPECT THAT THE RIGHT TO DO THE SAME.

2006 NISSAN TITAN DIED IN PARKING LOT ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 1ST, STARTED RIGHT UP. ON MONDAY, AUGUST 2ND, DIED IN BANK DRIVE THROUGH, TOOK ABOUT 8-10 MINUTES TO GET STARTED, THEN ONLY "CHUGGED". WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF DRIVE THROUGH LINE AND TO PARKING SPOT. TURNED ENGINE OFF FOR 20 MINUTES, STARTED UP AND WENT BACK TO WORK. AT 5:00 ON THAT DAY, WOULD NOT START. TRIED FOR 30 MINUTES. HUSBAND HAD FRIEND TOW IT HOME AND THEY CHECKED THE SPARK PLUGS AND A FEW THINGS WITH NO LUCK. ON AUGUST, 4TH, HUSBAND TOWED THE TRUCK TO THE CLAY COOLEY NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEIR TEST SHOWED IT TO BE THE IPDM SENSOR OUT. THIS PART WAS REPLACED AND TRUCK WAS FIXED. THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR WAS $306.16. I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THAT THIS SENSOR HAS BEEN RECALLED ON TITANS PRODUCED FROM 2004 TO JUNE 2006. ACCORDING TO CLAY COOLEY NISSAN, MY TRUCK WAS PRODUCED IN APRIL 2006; ACCORDING TO NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS RECALL WAS EFFECTIVE FROM 2004 TO MARCH 2006. THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. THIS PART WAS RECALLED AND IT WENT OUT ON MY TRUCK. I PLAN TO KEEP FOLLOWING ON THIS ISSUE UNTIL I GET MY 306.16 REFUNDED. *TR

11/16/09 CAR (2006 TITAN - CREW CAB) DIED WHILE TURNING OUT OF A STREET OF ON-COMING TRAFFIC. COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY A CAR BUT WASN'T. CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED AFTER A FEW STARTS. 11/17/09 CAR DID NOT START AT ALL; CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT 11/17/09 NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUSPECTED A PROBLEM WITH THE IPDM = INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTOR MODULE- THE PART THAT PROVIDES POWER FOR THE WHOLE VEHICLE TO RUN. SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS INDICATED THAT THE PART IS HARD TO COME BY BECAUSE OF THE BACKLOG IN MANUFACTURING THE PART. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS, IT WAS THE IPDM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WILL TAKE ABOUT 3 WEEKS TO ORDER. AFTER TALKING TO SERVICE REP, THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY HAD SEVERAL CARS THAT WERE WAITING FOR THE PART FOR THEIR CAR. 11/25/09: PART RECEIVED AND CAR WILL BE FIXED BY END OF TODAY AND READY FOR PICK UP. COST OF PART AND LABOR SHOULD NOT BE AT CONSUMER COST BUT AT THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE OF THE INCONVENIENCE THAT THIS HAS CAUSED. *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.

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.
