2008 Nissan Titan

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN TITAN. HE STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THE REAR SUSPENSION WOULD HIT AGAINST THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED HIM TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO ADVISED HIM TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 37,000.

IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR MY NISSAN TITAN CONCERNING THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE PEDDLE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT IN YET. I CALLED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF JUNE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN RELEASED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER LAUGHED AND SAID "YOU COULD BRING IT BUT IT MAY SIT HERE FOR SIX MONTHS OR MORE". I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE RECALL LETTER IS ALL THE MANUFACTURER IS REQUIRED TO DO. IS THIS TRUE? WHERE ARE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM? IS THERE SOME AGENCY THAT MAKES SURE THAT THE MANUFACTURER FOLLOWS THROUGH ON THE RECALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER? *TR

DRIVING MY 2008 NISSAN PRO 4X KING CAB. FUEL GAUGE READ 1/8 TANK AND COMPUTER SAID I HAD 8 MILES MORE FUEL. PREVIOUSLY WHEN IT GAVE THOSE NUMBERS I HAD 4-5 GALLONS OF FUEL LEFT. RAN OUT OF GAS. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 70 IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO GET TO SHOULDER OF AN 8 LANE HIGHWAY. *TR

2008 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 LONG WHEEL BASE...KNOCKING SOUND BEGAN WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE 55-70 MPH. NEXT DAY A WHINE DEVELOPED ON ACCELERATION / DECELERATION. NOTED LEAKS AT FRONT AND REAR SEALS ON DIFFERENTIALS. TOOK TO DEALER; WITHOUT REMOVING INSPECTION COVERS DIAGNOSED FAILED REAR ASSEMBLY. STATED FAIRLY COMMON - TOLD TO PURSUE MY COMPLAINT FOR ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CUSTOMER SERVICE. FLUIDS ADDED -- WHEN MY HUSBAND LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE WHINING DETERIORATED INTO A CONSTANT BANGING CONSISTENT WITH SPEED. HUSBAND WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND DROVE THE VEHICLE AT 30 MPH TO OUR DRIVEWAY. AT THIS POINT THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED A HARD SHUDDER. II WAS FORTUNATE THAT THE FAILURE DID NOT OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEED AS HE DRIVES 50K PER YEAR ON THE INTERSTATE AND GIVEN THE GRYO TYPE SHUDDER NOW NOTICEABLE AT 30 MPH ONE CAN IMAGINE WHAT A FRAGMENTED DIFFERENTIAL AND LOOSE DRIVE SHAFT MIGHT HAVE DONE. WILL TOW IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR WHEN THE REAR ASSEMBLY COMES IN. I WILL ALSO ASK THE DEALER TO SAVE MY OLD PARTS FOR ME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN TITAN. HE STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH HE CRASHED INTO TWO VEHICLES. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL; HOWEVER, THE BRAKES FAILED AND CAUSED A FRONT END COLLISION. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT LATCH. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MAJOR INJURIES TO HIS HEAD, ARMS AND LEGS FROM THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE POLICE WAS NOTIFIED AND AN INCIDENT REPORT IS AVAILABLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY ARE NOT LIABLE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO NOTIFY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE DEALER AGREED TO REPAIR THE AIR BAG SENSORS AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 31,000.

I BOUGHT MY 2008 NISSAN TITAN 8/20/08, EVERYTHING WAS GREAT UNTIL ODM HIT ABOUT 3,000 MILES. THAT'S WHEN MY FUEL GAUGE WAS INCONSISTENT ON IT'S READINGS AND EVERY TIME I PUMPED GAS INTO MY TRUCK IT WOULD SPILL GAS OUT. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE NISSAN DEALER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM AND THEY KEPT IT FOR 3 1/2 HOURS WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP THEY SAID THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS AND I SHOULD CHANGE MY GAS GRADE. I TOLD THEM I ONLY PUT 91 IN AND TO GO TO A LESSER GRADE WOULDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS I WIGGLED AND REPOSITIONED THE NOZZLE TO HELP PREVENT THE GAS FROM SPILLING FROM THE TRUCK, MOST OF THE TIME THIS HELPS WITH LESS FUEL COMING OUT. I CALLED THEM AGAIN AND TOLD THEM I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME TWO PROBLEMS THEY SAID AGAIN THEY HADN'T FOUND ANYTHING WRONG BUT I COULD SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. I TOLD THEM I WOULD GO TO ANOTHER MECHANIC. I DID AND BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY SAID I NEEDED TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER EXPLAINING TO THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING THEY SET UP A MEETING WITH ANOTHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WHERE I LEARNED THAT ALL 08 AND 09 TIITANS HAVE NUMEROUS FUEL PROBLEMS. THEY DID REPLACE MY FUEL SENSOR AND SAID WITH THE GAS SPILLING OUT WHILE PUMPING I WOULD HAVE TO PULL THE NOZZLE ALMOST ALL THE WAY OUT AND HOLD THE LEVER ONLY A QUARTER OF THE WAY IN TO PREVENT THE GAS SPILLING OUT. I ASKED HIM WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING HE SAID THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM COULDN'T HANDLE MUCH GAS PER SECOND BECAUSE THE WAY THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS BUILT IT BUILDS UP TO MUCH PRESSURE AND IN RETURN GAS SPILLS OUT. I TOLD HIM I WOULD LIKE IT FIXED AND SAID THERE WAS NO FIX FOR IT EXCEPT TO PULL OUT THE NOZZLE AND LIGHTLY HOLD THE LEVER. I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T FEEL THAT WAS SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO BE DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT BUILDS PRESSURE IN THE FUEL OF ALL PLACES HE SAID MY ONLY OTHER OPTION WAS TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR
