WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY HOME FROM WORK AND IN A SPLIT SECOND THE BACK END OF THE TRUCK STARTED BOUNCING AND BECAME HARD TO STEER. I SLOWED DOWN AND WAS GETTING READY TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER WHEN A BIG CHUNK OF MY TIRE SEPARATED AND CAME FLYING OFF OVER MY TRUCK HITTING THE CAR BESIDE ME. I SLOWED DOWN EVEN MORE AND PULLED OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY, ( ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN LESS THAN 1 MILE) WHEN I GOT OUT I WAS SO UPSET WHEN I DISCOVERED THE DAMAGE THE SEPARATION OF THE DEFECTIVE TIRE HAD CAUSED TO MY TRUCK AND THE CAR OF A VERY IRATE DRIVER THESE TIRES DID NOT HAVE MORE THAN 20,000 MILES ON THEM. THE TIRE TOTALLY WRECKED MY UNDERCARRIAGE, INCLUDING THE RODS, SUPPORTS AND LINER FOR THE WHEEL WELL, PLUS THE WHEEL WELL, REAR QUARTER PANEL AND BUMPER. THERE ARE ALSO DAMAGES TO THE FRONT QUARTER PANEL OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE A $1000.00 DEDUCTIBLE AND NOW AM UNABLE TO AFFORD REPAIRS OR TIRES, I NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK AND NEED COOPER TIRES TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES AND DEFECTIVE TIRES PLEASE. *JS

TIRE SIDEWALL SEPARATION. ON 4/25/2009, I PURCHASED 4 NEW TOYO OPEN COUNTRY H/T, P265/70R18 TRUCK TIRES FOR MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCK. ON SUNDAY, 5/3/2010, I NOTICED THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAD A SMALL CHUNK OF THE BLACK OUTSIDE SIDEWALL MISSING. UPON INSPECTION, I COULD NOT FIND WHERE ANY TYPE OF DEBRIS HAD HIT THE TIRE, NOR COULD I FIND WHERE ANY OF THE OTHER TIRES HAD BEEN DAMAGED. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM INSPECT THE DAMAGE. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THE TOTAL VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS 30,586. AS OF THIS DATE, THE MILEAGE IS 40,845. A TOTAL OF 10,259 MILES HAVE BEEN DRIVEN SINCE THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED. AS THE TIRES CAME WITH A 60K MILE DAMAGE WARRANTY, I WAS EXPECTING TO HAVE THE TIRE REPLACED AND TO PAY ANY MILEAGE ADJUSTMENT FEE. THE DEALER INSTEAD INFORMED ME THAT, BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF DAMAGE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT TOYO AND OBTAIN THEIR APPROVAL TO REPLACE THE TIRE. I WAS TOLD UNTIL TOYO CONTACTED THEM, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, BUT THAT IT WAS SAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER REGULARLY, AND HAVE TOLD THAT TOYO HAS YET TO RESPOND. AFTER CHECKING THE NTSB.GOV WEBSITE, THE ONLY RECALL FOR A TIRE CLOSE TO THE ONE I HAVE MENTIONED IS A TOYO OPEN COUNTRY A/T MODEL. *TR

06 TITAN LE CREW CAB - STEREO JUST STOPS - NO AUDIO, NO POWER, NOTHING. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS WITH COMPLETE HEAD UNIT REPLACEMENT BY THE DEALERSHIP. DEALER STATES THEY CAN NOT REMOVE THE CDS FROM THE CHANGER AND MUST WAIT FOR FACTORY TO DO SO - I HAVE NOT HAD ANY CDS RETURNED TO DATE. PENDING OTHER OPTIONS - PERSUE SMALL CLAIMS SUIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF CDS, ONE MORE INCIDENT OF SAME ITEM WILL MEET IL LEMON LAWS UNDER FOR IMPACT TO MATERIAL VALUE OF THE VEHICLE... I LIKE THE TRUCK AND IT FUNCTIONS WELL EXCEPT FOR THIS MORE SIMPLISTIC ITEM AND THE DIFFICULTY IN GETTING REPAIR FROM A DEALER THAT I DID NOT PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AND THE NUMBER OF FAILURES OF THE SAME ITEM. NISSAN USA HAS NOT BEEN MATERIALLY HELPFUL, ONLY TO DOCUMENT BUT NO ACTION. 2ND TIRES 285/70/R17 - REPORTED TO MICHELIN (FOR BF GOODRICH RUGGED TRAIL - OEM) TIRES - HAVE LESS THAN 6/32S TREAD REMAINING WITH ONLY 6K MILES ON TIRES - MICHELIN WILL NOT REPLACE OR COMPENSATE UNTIL 2/32S, THOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM GIVEN ORIGINAL TREAD WAS 13/32S SO MORE THAN HALF TREAD LIFE IS GONE IN 6K MILES. *JB

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.

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.
