LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED. THEY ARE NORMALLY COVERED UNDER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY OF 8YR/80K MILES. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BY 4,000 MILES. I PUT 4K MILES EVERY 3 MONTHS AND I HAVE HEARD THE TICKING NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD FOR OVER THIS TIME PERIOD. I CONTACTED NISSAN USA FOR LOYAL CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND WAS DENIED. I FILED AN APPEAL AND WAS DENIED WITHIN 2 HOURS. I HAVE OWNED (3) NISSANS IN THE PAST 7 YEARS AND EXPECT SOME COMPENSATION. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM ON ALL TITANS 2004 TO 2007. THIS SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL FOR EXHAUST GASES GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. *TR
I NOTICED AN EXHAUST LEAK ON MY TRUCK. TOOK IT TO A REPUTABLE EXHAUST SHOP, THEY TOLD ME THEIR WAS A CRACK IN THE CONVERTER AND I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.

I NOTICED AN EXHAUST LEAK ON MY TRUCK. TOOK IT TO A REPUTABLE EXHAUST SHOP, THEY TOLD ME THEIR WAS A CRACK IN THE CONVERTER AND I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER CHECKING THE WEB I REALIZED IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY (80000 ON EXHAUST EMISSIONS) MY TRUCK ONLY HAD 65K. THEY REPLACED BOTH MANIFOLDS AS THEY WERE BOTH CRACKED. THIS REPAIR WOULD HAVE COST ME 2500.00! AFTER SEEING THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TITAN TRUCKS, I THINK THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. ALSO THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I HAD A FRONT DIFFERENTIAL LEAK WHICH WAS THE PINION SEAL, THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME 300-500.00. OF COURSE ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY THIS. AFTER SEEING THIS IS ALSO A COMMON PROBLEM, I FEEL NISSAN NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM FOR BOTH ME AND FELLOW MOTORIST. MY TRUCK HAS 65,000 MILES AND IS BABIED! TOTAL REPAIRS WOULD BE AROUND 3000.00 FOR THE MANIFOLDS AND THE DIFFERENTIAL, I FEEL SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. *TR

ABOUT A MONTH AGO I NOTICE A WEIRD NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK WHENEVER I WOULD SLOW DOWN AND SOMETIMES SPEED UP. AS THE WEEK WENT BY I NOTICE THE NOISE GETTING LOUDER. IT STARTED OUT WITH A CLICKING SOUND THEN IT INTENSIFIED WITH A CLUCKING SOUND. AFTER HAVING A LOCAL SHOP LOOK AT MY TRUCK THEY FOUND FLUIDS BY THE RIGHT BREAK, WHICH INDICATED THAT A SEAL HAD GONE BAD AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE CLUCKING AND CLICKING NOISES ARE FROM THE GEARS IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. PIECES OF THE GEARS HAD BROKEN OFF. THEY ESTIMATED A JOB LIKE THIS WOULD RUN ABOUT $3500!!! I DO NOT HAVE THE KIND OF MONEY! I HAVE READ ALL THE TREADS POSTED BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE CONTACT NISSAN'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AND GOT NOWHERE! PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW I CAN HAVE NISSAN PAY FOR THIS!!! *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.

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.

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.
