REAR AXLE IS LEAKING OIL FROM IT. ITS GETTING THE REAR BRAKES WET, WITH THE OIL IS MAKING IT HARDER TO STOP. I FIRST NOTICED THIS THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT BECAUSE I COULD NOT STOP. MY NISSAN TITAN IS A 2006 XE. 74500 MILES. I HAVE ONLY TOWED A TRAILER WITH THE TRUCK A HAND FULL OF TIMES AND NEVER EXCEEDED 5000 LBS OF TRAILER WEIGHT WHICH INCLUDES THE WEIGHT OF THE TRAILER. THERE IS ALSO A TOW PACKAGE INSTALLED IN THE TRUCK. I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING IN TO PARTS AND PRICES OF REPAIRING THIS LEAK. IF THIS COULD CAUSE BRAKES TO FAIL HOW COME THIS ISN'T A RECALL? AND IF IT DOES BECOME A RECALL WILL THEY ALSO COVER ANY PAINT DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR FROM THE OILS ON THE TAIL GATE? *TR

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 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

I CONTACTED NISSAN HQ TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK PRE-OWNED W/ 44,XXX MILES. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES ONLINE AND ON THE NHTSA SITE. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE WEAK SHACKLES FOR MODEL YEAR TITANS 2004-2007 BECAUSE THEY REDESIGNED AND STRENGTHENED THE SHACKLE IN 2008 AND UP MODELS. I HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACE THE SHACKLES W/ 2008+ TITAN SHACKLES AND PLUG/WELD THE HOLE. *TR

NISSAN TITAN (36K MILES), 2006 MODEL. THE ABS CONTROL MODULE WENT BAD CAUSING THE CAR SPEEDOMETER TO QUIT WORKING AS WELL AS THE CARS TRANSMISSION TO JUMP INTO AND OUT OF GEAR WHILE ON THE ROAD. CAUSED THE CAR TO SLOW DRAMATICALLY ON THE INTERSTATE AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO NISSAN AT RIVERGATE IN TN (THINKING THIS WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE CURRENT RECALL TIED TO THE EMC, ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE ABS CONTROL MODULE AND IT WOULD COST $1,500 TO REPAIR, WHERE THE EMC COSTS $2 TO REPAIR. MAKES ME WONDER IF NISSAN CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED THEIR CURRENT ISSUE WITH THE CARS ELECTRONIC CONTROLS, OR MAYBE THAT THEY'VE CHOSEN TO TIE THE RECALL TO A CHEAP COMPONENT AND ALLOW THE DEALER TO THEN JIG THE CONSUMER FOR THE HIGHER PRICED COMPONENT. IN EITHER CASE, I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK, THE REAR PINION SEAL WAS REPLACED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS FAILED AGAIN AT 72250 MILES. I AM HEARING SOME PLAY IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, CAUSED BY LACK OF OIL FROM THE LEAKING SEAL. IT TOOK AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FLUID TO REFILL THE DIFFERENTIAL, TELLING ME IT HAD BEEN LEAKING FOR A LONG TIME, THE SECOND TIME. FAILURE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL WOULD MEAN A ROADSIDE BREAKDOWN OR A VEHICLE CRASH. MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING WAS PIERCED THROUGH THE TRUCK BED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,111.
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.
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.
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.
