IllustrationTHE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAVE CRACKED, CAUSING TOXIC EXHAUST FUMES TO LEAK INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE TO BE CAUSED BY FAULTY PARTS SUPPLIED BY NISSAN. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN DIED IN PARKING LOT ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 1ST, STARTED RIGHT UP. ON MONDAY, AUGUST 2ND, DIED IN BANK DRIVE THROUGH, TOOK ABOUT 8-10 MINUTES TO GET STARTED, THEN ONLY "CHUGGED". WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF DRIVE THROUGH LINE AND TO PARKING SPOT. TURNED ENGINE OFF FOR 20 MINUTES, STARTED UP AND WENT BACK TO WORK. AT 5:00 ON THAT DAY, WOULD NOT START. TRIED FOR 30 MINUTES. HUSBAND HAD FRIEND TOW IT HOME AND THEY CHECKED THE SPARK PLUGS AND A FEW THINGS WITH NO LUCK. ON AUGUST, 4TH, HUSBAND TOWED THE TRUCK TO THE CLAY COOLEY NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEIR TEST SHOWED IT TO BE THE IPDM SENSOR OUT. THIS PART WAS REPLACED AND TRUCK WAS FIXED. THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR WAS $306.16. I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THAT THIS SENSOR HAS BEEN RECALLED ON TITANS PRODUCED FROM 2004 TO JUNE 2006. ACCORDING TO CLAY COOLEY NISSAN, MY TRUCK WAS PRODUCED IN APRIL 2006; ACCORDING TO NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS RECALL WAS EFFECTIVE FROM 2004 TO MARCH 2006. THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. THIS PART WAS RECALLED AND IT WENT OUT ON MY TRUCK. I PLAN TO KEEP FOLLOWING ON THIS ISSUE UNTIL I GET MY 306.16 REFUNDED. *TR

NOTICED A SMALL GRINDING NOISE UNDERNEATH MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN LE. A FRIEND TELLS TO CHECK THE BEARINGS. I BRING IT THE DEALER, DEALER TELLS ME I NEED TO REPLACE THE REAR BEARINGS AND SEALS - $900.00. THEY ALSO TELL ME MY BRAKES AND EMERGENCY BRAKES SHOES ARE SHOT DUE TO BEARING FLUID LEAKING ALL OVER THEM, THEY WANTED $1600.00. REPLACED ALL THE BRAKES MYSELF, WHICH WERE TOTALLY FINE....I THEN NOTICE THE SAME GRINDING NOISE PLUS ANOTHER UNDER MY DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR. BRING IT BACK TO DEALER ASKING THEM WHY. I COME TO FIND OUT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL IS SHOT ALONG WITH THE TRANSFER CASE. THIS TRUCK HAS HIGHWAY MILES, ONLY DRIVEN IN 4X4 FOR SNOW. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? I THEN PROCEED TO LOOK FOR ANSWERS ON THE INTERNET AND FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. NISSAN HAS ACTUALLY CHANGED THE PART NUMBERS FOR THE AXLE DUE TO THE ISSUES THAT ARE RELATED. THE NEW REPAIRS WILL COST BETWEEN $3600-$4000 WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD AT THE MOMENT.

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.
