THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO PULSATE VERY VIOLENTLY PRIOR TO DEPRESSING TO THE FLOOR. A BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD SO THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND SHUT IT OFF. UPON RESTARTING IT, THE BRAKE PEDAL OPERATED AS NORMAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE BUT ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE BRAKING SYSTEM RESETS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 64,700. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 CREW CAB SINCE DEC 2006 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHILE BRAKING. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER IN 2008 MILES 10, 850 THEY TURNED THE ROTORS AND APPLIED GREASE. TOOK TRUCK BACK TO DEALER ON JULY 9TH 2010 AND THEY AGAIN SAID ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 27,980 MILES. THE SERVICE MAN SAID THE ROTORS WERE NO LONGER COVERED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HAVE ROTORS TURNED. I WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE GOOD FOR 30,000 MILES. I THINK IT'S STRANGE THAT THE ROTORS NEED TO BE TURNED EVERY 10,000 TO 15,000 MILES. SERVICE MAN ACTED LIKE THIS WAS A COMMAND THING AND THAT IT WAS THE DRIVERS FAULT NOT THE COMPANY'S. I ASKED ABOUT RECALLS AT THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT ME I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE DEALER SINCE. NISSAN NEEDS TO SEE THIS AS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND MAKE A RECALL. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 TITAN CREW CAB SINCE 2008 AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE BRAKE SERVICE REQUESTS PERFORMED FOR "BRAKE JUDDER". PREVIOUS SOLUTION WAS TO TURN THE ROTORS BACK TO TRUE UNTIL ROTORS CAN NO LONGER BE TURNED AND NEW OEM ROTORS ARE ACQUIRED THAT WILL START THE WHOLE PROCESS OVER AGAIN. THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX FOR THE LARGER PROBLEM. BRAKE ROTOR SIZE AND MATERIAL SELECTED FOR THE 2006 NISSAN TITAN MODEL IS INADEQUATE TO PROVIDE ENOUGH SURFACE AREA AND VENTING FOR PROPER HEAT DISSIPATION TO PREVENT WARPAGE OF THE OEM BRAKE ROTORS. THIS BRAKE ROTOR TURNING SERVICE WAS PERFORMED 10,000 MILES AGO, 5,000 MILES AGO AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN NEED OF THE SAME SERVICE. A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES THAT IS DRIVEN LESS THAN 12,000 MILES PER YEAR SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD 3 BRAKE SERVICE ISSUES FOR THE SAME MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. MY PERSONAL SOLUTION (BECAUSE NISSAN HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DEFECT IN NEED OF A RECALL) IS TO UPGRADE THE OEM BRAKE HARDWARE WITH AFTERMARKET PERFORMANCE SLOTTED AND DIMPLED ROTORS AND CERAMIC BRAKE PADS TO PROVIDE FOR ADEQUATE HEAT DISSIPATION AND PREVENT ROTOR WARPAGE.

NOW HAVE DRIVEN 48,000 AND THE REPLACEMENT AXLE SEAL ON THE LEFT SIDE (SAME AS BEFORE) HAS STARTED LEAKING AND MUST BE REPLACED. THERE HAVE BEEN NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS TO THIS VEHICLE AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR TOWING OR ANY TYPE. REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAKS AND CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF REAR END AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENT FROM SUDDEN STOP CAUSED BY AXLE LOCKING UP. REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ALSO LEAKS ON REAL BRAKE ROTORS AND EMERGENCY BRAKES AND COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE. SEVERAL SIMILAR INCIDENTS OF THIS SAME FAILURE CAN BE FOUND ONLINE AND IT APPEARS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE (2006 NISSAN TITAN). *TR

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR FOR THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS FOR THE FRONT TIRES. THE VEHICLE WORKED NORMALLY FOR A YEAR AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, BUT THE FAILURE EVENTUALLY RECURRED. THIS TEMPORARILY REMEDIED THE ISSUE FOR 15,000 MILES. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THIS FAILURE SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING TO A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT USED EVERYDAY, SO HE BELIEVES THE FAILURE IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED FOR A SECOND TIME. CURRENTLY, THE ROTORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

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.
Mar 8, 2006
CERTAIN LIGHT TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 206, "DOOR LOCKS AND DOOR RETENTION COMPONENTS." AN ARC WELD IS MISSING ON SOME RIGHT SIDE REAR DOOR UPPER LATCH ASSEMBLIES.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS MAY RESULT IN THE RIGHT SIDE DOORS COMING PARTIALLY OPEN INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO OCCUPANTS.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE UPPER LATCH ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 3, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 800-662-6200.
