2008 Nissan Titan

THE BACK TWO DOOR LATCHES DO NOT OPEN UNTILLED JIGGLED OR CONTINUALLY VIBRATED. THIS WOULD NOT ALLOW THE DOORS TO BE OPENED IN THE EVENT OF A EMERGENCY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO BE REPAIRED BUT TO NO AVAIL. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHILE TRYING TO OPEN DOORS. ITS THIS A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THE OCCUPANTS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE DURING A CRITICAL TIME?

OVERHEAD CONSOLE PLASTIC BECOMES TOO BRITTLE TO SUPPORT WEIGHT OF CONSOLE CAUSING MOUNT POINTS TO BREAK ALLOWING CONSOLE TO SWING DOWN. MY CONSOLE NEARLY HIT ME IN SIDE OF THE HEAD. THIS CAUSE VIEW TO BE OBSTRUCTED AND COULD EASILY HIT DRIVER. UPON RESEARCHING THIS FOR REPAIR I FOUND MANY OTHER HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. MY GUESS IS AN INFERIOR BATCH OF PLASTIC IN THE 08 LINEUP. *TR

THERE SEEMS TO BE A PAINT DEFECT ON MY NISSAN TITAN ON THE HOOD AND ROOF. I HAVE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER SINCE 2009 BUT THEY DENY ANY BLAME. I NOW NOTICE THE EXACT SIMILAR PATTERN DEFECT IN MULTIPLE TITANS. THE CLEAR COAT IS WORN AWAY ALMOST DOWN TO THE METAL. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN BUT THEY SAY UNLESS THERE ARE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS THEY DO NOT HAVE TO ADDRESS IT. I REALIZE THIS IS NOT LIFE THREATENING, BUT I WANTED TO LODGE A FORMAL COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT IS A DEFECT THAT WILL AFFECT ME WHEN I GO TO TRADE IT IN AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT I NOTICE WITH MOST OTHER TITAN OWNERS OF TRUCKS THIS AGE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A ROUGH STRETCH OF I-55 SOUTH. I THEN NOTICED THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE SLOWLY SEPARATING FROM THE FRONT. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTED FALLING. I COULDN'T PULL OVER AT THE TIME THIS WAS HAPPENING. I ALSO COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING FROM THE REARVIEW MIRROR. BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO EXIT, THE CONSOLE HAD BROKEN UP TO THE LAST COMPARTMENT. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT SO THAT I COULD TRY TO DISCONNECT THE WIRES. I STILL HAD 40 PLUS MILES TO DRIVE TO GET HOME. I WAS ABLE TO DISCONNECT THE WIRES AND PUT THE BROKEN CONSOLE ON THE SEAT. I CALLED A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER ONCE I GOT HOME. I WAS TOLD THE ONLY THING THAT I COULD DO WAS TO PURCHASE A NEW CONSOLE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE TV MONITOR WHICH IS STILL IN PLACE. *TR

I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP, SINCE DAY ONE THAT MY TRUCK HAD HANDLING ISSUES. THAT MY REAR AXLE WAS OFF CENTER AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TRACKING STRAIGHT. THEIR ANSWER WAS AN ALIGNMENT ABOUT 20 OF THEM. BAD TIRES, MY DRIVING, ETC. NOT THEIR PERFECT TRUCK. AFTER 2 1/2 YEARS OF FIGHTING NISSAN THEY SENT MY TRUCK TO A FRAME SHOP. THE REAR OF THE FRAME FROM THE FT SPRING HANGERS TP THE REAR IS BOWED UPWARDS. PUTTING MY SPRINGS IN A BIND AND CAUSING THE REAR AXLE TO BE OUT OF LINE. CAUSING THE ERRATIC HANDING. IF YOU HAVE A TITAN WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE AN OFFSET REAR AXLE HAVE THE FRAME CHECKED BY COMPUTER. THOUGH THE FRAME MAY BE STRAIGHT, THE REAR OF IT MAY BE BOWED HORIZONTALLY, CAUSING PROBLEMS. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A FRAME SHOP 2 YRS AGO AND TOLD THEM THE FRAME WAS NOT RIGHT. I GUESS AFTER THINKING THERE WAS NO WAY MY FRAME WAS BENT THEY ALLOWED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE FRAME SHOP. HA! HA! ON THEM MAY FRAME WAS BOWED HAS BEEN SO SINCE DAY ONE. HOPEFULLY THE LAWYER CAN GET ME OUT OF THE TRUCK. *TR

VEHICLE HAS HAD ERRATIC HANDLING/STEERING SINCE DAY ONE. HAS BEEN IN DEALERSHIP FOR PROBLEM 7 TIMES. THEY SAY NO PROBLEM BROUGHT TO INDEPENDENT ALIGNMENT SHOPS AND FRAME SHOP. THEY DETERMINED THAT REAR AXLE WAS OFF CENTER THEREFORE CAUSING THE TRACKING TO BE OFF AND PREVENTING A PROPER ALIGNMENT AND CAUSING ERRATIC STEERING AND HAVING TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. *TR
