I NOTICED THAT MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN WITH 54,000 MILES WAS LEAKING OIL FROM THE RIGHT REAR AXLE THE OTHER DAY. I CALLED MY NISSAN DEALER AND HE TOLD ME MY WARRANTY ENDED IN JANUARY AND THE REAR AXLE SEALS WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THE DEALERSHIP KNEW ALL ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAID 450 DOLLARS. THEY CALLED IT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THEY OFFERED EVEN TO SELL ME A NEW TITAN. I DECLINED. I HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED WITH A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR 300 DOLLARS. AFTER FIXING MY TITAN, I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2004-2008 NISSAN TITANS. I FOUND THAT EVEN AFTER YOU REPLACE THE REAR AXLE SEAL, THE PROBLEM OCCURS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. NISSAN SHOULD MAN UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PROBLEM. I EVEN FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED BY NISSAN ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. SO THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY LOCAL MECHANIC TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY THAT THE LEAKING OIL DIDN'T GET INTO THE BRAKE PADS. *TR

LEAKING MANIFOLD; THIS PART WAS RECALLED BY NISSAN BUT UPON COMPLETION OF FORM, I WAS INFORMED THEY CALCULATED THE MILEAGE TO BE BEYOND THEIR WARRANTY. THE LEFT SIDE MANIFOLD WAS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. NOW THE RIGHT MANIFOLD HAS CRACKED ALSO AND IS LEAKING EXHAUST FUMES. NISSAN IS AWARE THAT I HAVE THE LEFT SIDE MANIFOLD FOR THEIR INSPECTION AND THEIR LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, CONFIRMED THE RIGHT IS ALSO CRACKED. THIS IS A DANGER AND DEFINITE HAZARD DUE TO THE EXHAUST FUMES AND POSSIBLE FIRE YET NISSAN HAS DECLINED ANY ASSISTANCE IN REIMBURSEMENT OR ASSISTANCE IN REPLACING THE RIGHT SIDE MANIFOLD DUE TO THEIR CALCULATION THAT THE MILEAGE WAS BEYOND THEIR WARRANTY COVERAGE. I COULD NOT FIND RECORDS AS TO THE MILEAGE WHEN I REPLACE THE LEFT MANIFOLD. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME WHEN HE REPLACED THE LEFT SIDE MANIFOLD THAT HE WOULD EXPECT THAT THE RIGHT TO DO THE SAME.

I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT AND HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH IT UP UNTIL NOW. LONG STORY SHORT; I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLOSE TO WHERE I LIVE (STANLEY NISSAN) TO GET A RECALL DONE ON IT AS WELL AS HAVE IT LOOKED AT FOR MY ABS AND SLIP LIGHTS BEING ON CONSTANTLY AS WELL AS MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WHICH WAS ON BEFORE. A FEW DAYS BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT MY TRUCK STARTED DRIVING WEIRD AND DISENGAGING ITSELF OUT OF 4WD AND I WOULD LOSE CONTROL AT TIMES OR MY TRUCK WOULD STOP GOING FORWARD AND WOULD START TRYING TO GO SIDEWAYS, BUT THE RPM'S STILL WENT UP, BUT TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCEL FORWARD. IT ALSO STARTED MAKING A BANGING NOISE IN THE REAR, ALWAYS SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE. DROPPED IT OFF AT DEALERSHIP AND HEARD FROM THEM THE FOLLOWING DAY. SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT MY REAR BRAKE SHOES HAD BROKE AND SPUN AROUND IN THE BRAKE HOUSING AND DAMAGED MY BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, ROTORS AND THEN MADE IT INTO MY REAR AXLE HOUSING AND DAMAGED MY ENTIRE REAR HOUSING AND DIFFERENTIAL. I AM A MECHANIC MYSELF AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT PIECES FROM THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT INSIDE AN ENCLOSED REAR HOUSING ASSEMBLY. THEY TOLD ME I NEED MY ENTIRE REAR AXLE AND DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED ALONG WITH OTHER PIECES FOR THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY AND REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT ALL OF THIS WAS CAUSE BY BRAKE SHOES AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHICH I NEVER USE. THEY ARE QUOTING ME $4,200 FOR THE REPAIRS AND WON'T COVER ME UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I AM STILL UNDER 60,000 MILES AND I CAN'T BE COVERED BY MY PLATINUM PACKAGE EXTENDED WARRANTY AS WELL WHICH COVERS ME UP TO 100,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN ON NUMEROUS SITES WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THE FACT THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO WORK US ALL OVER AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP HONOR THE WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH THIS MANY REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS. *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.
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.
