BRAKES - REPLACED 3 TIMES WITHIN 16000 MILES. WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE OR SOONER IF I HAD KNOWN HOW TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM EARLIER. THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC EVENTS THAT LEAD TO THE THESE WARRANTY REPLACEMENTS. I WAS REASSURED THAT MY NORMAL DRIVING DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROBLEMS. REAR AXLE REPLACEMENT - 15800 MILES. THIS WAS ALSO NOT DUE TO MY NORMAL DRIVING, AS REASSURED BY THE NISSAN SERVICE STATION. I WAS LITERALLY SHAKEN OFF THE ROAD. THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE SERVICE STATION, AFTER THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VIBRATION I FELT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO SOME TIRE CUPPING WHEN I HAD BROUGHT IT IN THE DAY BEFORE. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS JERKING AND RUNNING AT HIGHER THAN NORMAL RPM IN IDLE AND REVERSE. NEW TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 15800 MILES ALSO. ALL THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED MERELY 1 WEEK AFTER MY NEW TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY AND REAR END WERE REPLACED. I HAD DRIVEN ALMOST 600 MILES. I AM NOW DRIVING A RENTAL CAR, PAYING OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE I AM TOO SCARED TO LOSE CONTROL OF A CAR THAT MIGHT HAVE A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE CAUSING HARM TO MYSELF OR OTHER DRIVERS/PEDESTRIANS. I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN MARCH 2006; WITH 6 MILES ON IT. *JB

I DRIVE DAILY ON UNLIT ROADS, AND THIS PROBLEM FREQUENTLY OCCURS. MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN'S AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING CONTROLS RESPONSE TO CHANGE IS SLOW WITH HEADLIGHTS ON (10-15 SECONDS TO MOVE FROM FLOOR TO DEFROST), CAUSING A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN NEEDING TO DEFROST AT NIGHT. NISSAN INDICATED THIS SAFETY PROBLEM IS THE RESULT OF POOR DESIGN FOR TITANS SINCE THE ENGINEERS CHOSE TO USE THE VARIABLE VOLTAGE FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT RHEOSTAT TO POWER THE HVAC CONTROLS. THIS 15 SECOND DELAY CAUSES A SAFETY PROBLEM SINCE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT SINCE THE DRIVER MAY BE UNAWARE THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS FOGGED UNTIL ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMES INTO VIEW. WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN MODES (IN THIS CASE, HEAT TO DEFROST), BY THE TIME AIR BEGINS TO BLOW OVER THE WINDSHIELD, THE TRUCK HAS TRAVELED 1100 FEET WITHOUT ME BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD (AT 50 MPH). THIS HAS MADE ME RUN OFF THE ROAD, OR NEARLY RUN OFF THE ROAD, NUMEROUS TIMES (AT LEAST 10 THAT I REMEMBER). THE ONLY OTHER OPTION IS TO TURN THE INSTRUMENT PANELS TO FULL BRIGHT WHICH BLINDS ME DURING NIGHTTIME DRIVING (JUST AS UNACCEPTABLE AS A FOGGED WINDSHIELD). NISSAN CURRENTLY HAS NO REPAIR FOR THIS MALFUNCTION. *NM

WELL ON NOVEMBER 15, 2006 I NOTICED A REAL BAD GRINDING/WHINING NOISE WHEN I DECELERATED. THERE WAS ONLY 6900 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A MECHANIC RODE WITH ME UP THE STREET AND BACK AND SAID THAT MY TRUCK HAD PROBLEMS. I LEFT THE TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP OVERNIGHT AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR END. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT MY TRUCK HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE I EVEN BOUGHT IT AND THAT THE WHINING NOISE I ALWAYS HEARD WAS THE REAR END AND NOT THE TIRES. *NM

THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE REAR TIRES MOMENTARILY SEIZED UP PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO A SKID, WHICH I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT. THE REAR END THEN BEGAN TO FREE WHEEL AND I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONLY BY TEMPORARILY PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO 4WD WAS I ABLE TO GET SAFELY OFF THE ROADWAY. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. TRUCK IS UNDER WARRANTY WITH NISSAN. DEALER DIAGNOSED A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND REPLACED ENTIRE REAR AXLE UNDER WARRANTY. *JB

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

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE AUTOMATIC POWER WINDOW CONTROL ON BOTH FRONT WINDOWS WERE DEPRESSED, IT ALLOWED THE WINDOW TO ROLL COMPLETELY UP OR DOWN WITH ONE TOUCH. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT ALERTED.
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.
