WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK IN 2WD I HEARD A VERY LOUD CLUNKING (METAL ON METAL) NOISE COMING FORM THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. AFTER REACHING HOME, I REALIZED THAT THE FRONT AXLE WAS FALLING OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. I JACKED THE TRUCK UP AND DROPPED THE FRONT DIFF PAN. THIS IS WHERE I REALIZED THAT THE CLIPS HOLD IN THE FRONT AXLE HAVE FAILED AND BROKE IN TWO. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, HAD I BEEN TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THE WHEEL CAME OFF. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THIS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

WITHIN A PERIOD OF 14-15 MONTHS BOTH REAR AXLE SEAL ASSEMBLIES FAILED, ONE EACH ON PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE OF THE REAR AXLE. ACCORDING TO NATIONAL TIRE & BATTERY THE ENTIRE AXLE ASSEMBLY IS REQUIRED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE A SEAL THAT IS LEAKING, AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1000.00 EACH TIME. THIS SEEMS QUITE UNREASONABLE AND EXCESSIVE TO REPLACE AN AXLE THAT IS IN PERFECT OPERATING CONDITION WHEN THE ONLY ISSUE IS WITH A RUBBER BOOT (SEAL) THAT IS LEAKING FLUID. *TR

DEALER REPLACED DIFFERENTIAL UNDER WARRANTY (2000 MILES, ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE). AT 115,000 MILES IN JULY OF 2011, REPLACED REAR AXLE SEALS (NO WARRANTY). NOW, SEPTEMBER 2012, AT 133,000 MILES. THE SLIP AND BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN DIFFERENTIAL GEAR OIL IS COLD. ONCE WARMED UP, LIGHTS GO OUT AND STAY OUT AFTER TITAN IS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED WARM. CHANGED DIFFERENTIAL OIL EVERY 7500 MILES WITH 75W 140 SYNTHETIC OIL PER MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES. NO ADDITIVES CALLED FOR OR USED WITH GEAR OIL CHANGES. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL THE LIGHTS (SLIP AND BRAKE) INDICATE THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND LIMITED SLIP ARE NOT OPERATIONAL WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON. DIFFERENTIAL REPAIR/REPLACEMENT REQUIRED TO RE-GAIN ABS AND LSD FEATURES. NOT SURE IF THE ULTIMATE FAILURE MODE IS 'GRACEFUL' OR NOT. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 CURRENTLY WITH 80,200 MILES. LEFT AND RIGHT REAR AXLE OIL LEAK. AT APPROXIMATELY 65000 MILES, DURING A TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE AT A NISSAN DEALER, MECHANIC NOTICED THE PASSENGER REAR AXLE WAS LEAKING. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATED IT WOULD BE ABOUT $500.00 TO REPAIR. HE ALSO STATED THAT NO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. AFTER HAVING THE ENGINE OIL CHANGED ON JULY 2012, I NOTICED MY DRIVER SIDE REAR AXLE LEAKING NOW. SEVERAL SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE BEEN POSTED ONLINE. NISSAN SHOULD PUSH THE MANUFACTURE TO HAVE THIS HAZARDOUS ISSUE RESOLVED VERY SOON AND NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THE SEAL AT NO COST OR AT A LOW DISCOUNTED PRICE. *TR

MY 2006 TITAN STARTED VIBRATING LIKE RUNNING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS ON SIDE OF HIGHWAY. TOOK STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM SPLIT AND CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACED $7313.56. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ANYTHING. AFTER READING MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING ON OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL ON THE COOLING SYSTEM THAT CAN CAUSE THIS AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. *TR

HAD TRUCK IN SHOP FOR EXHAUST PIPE FALLING OFF AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR AXEL SEALS AND BEARINGS ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE AXEL HAD BEEN LEAKING FLUID ONTO MY TIRES AND BRAKES WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN BRAKE FAILURE OR FIRE. NISSAN WILL NOT WARRANTY THE REAR AXEL REPAIRS. THIS IS THE SECOND NEW NISSAN FACTORY AXEL TO BE INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN 2006. IT IS CURRENTLY HAVING THE REAR SEALS AND BEARINGS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN MODEL AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

Oct 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.

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.
