2011 Nissan Titan

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the rear end of the vehicle when the vehicle drove over into an object on the roadway. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the rear subframe needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

IN 2017 AT 60,062 MILES THE TAIL PIPE CORRODED FELL OFF. A REPAIR WAS MADE AT THE EAU CLAIRE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WERE THE CUT AND CLAMPED IT BACK TOGETHER. AGAIN AS I WRITE THIS THE TAIL PIPE HAS CORRODED AND FELL OFF. I HAVE SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP IN EAU CLAIRE AS WELL AS NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. CASE # 41900823. SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE FILING A DEALERSHIP COMPLAINT BUT REAL ISSUE FALLS ON NISSAN FOR BUILDING AN INFERIOR VEHICLE. A SAFETY THREAT IS POSED WHEN THE RUSTED EXHAUST COMPONENTS FALL OFF AND BECOME ROAD HAZARDS. ADDITIONALLY, IF THE BROKEN TAILPIPE DOESN'T CLEAR THE VEHICLE IT COULD GET CAUGHT CAUSING DAMAGE TO OTHER VITAL COMPONENTS LIKE BRAKE LINES AND/TIRES IF IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I THINK THE EARLY FAILURE OF THE TAILPIPE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE NOT ONLY DOES IT POSE A SAFETY THREAT, I HAVE READ THIS IS AN ISSUE AND NISAN SHOULD NOT BE PASSING THE COMPLAINTS TO ITS DEALERSHIP WHEN THIS IS A DESIGN AND/OR QUALITY OF MATERIALS USED ISSUE.

THE FIRST ISSUE IS THE A/C SYSTEM. WHEN THE SYSTEM IS BEING RUN ON THE MAXIMUM SETTING THERE IS A AUDIBLE TICKING SOUND. THIS SOUND HAS BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO A PART INSIDE THE AC UNIT THAT'S MADE OF PLASTIC THAT GOES BAD REALLY QUICK. THE RESULT OF THIS IS NO AC OR NO HEAT AND A VERY EXPENSIVE COST TO REPAIR. THE ENTIRE DASH HAS TO BE REMOVED TO ACCOMPLISH THE REPAIR. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THE (BCM) BODY CONTROL MODULE. THIS MODULE CONTROLS ALL THE ACCESSORY ELECTRONICS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE (TPMS, DOOR LOCKS, HORNS, LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, WINDOWS, TRAILER HITCH ETC.) NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE HUNDREDS OF POST ONLINE ABOUT VARIOUS MODELS OF THEIR VEHICLES WITH BCM ISSUES. HOWEVER THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE HUNDREDS MANY THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES THAT DON'T HAVE WORKING ELECTRONICS BECAUSE NISSAN HASN'T DONE A RECALL AND THE PARTS OF TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THE CUSTOMERS TO FIX. MY VEHICLE IS A 2011 WITH 58000 MILES AND NONE OF THE DOOR LOCKS WORK WHEN TRYING TO USE THE KEY FOB. THE TPMS COMES AND GOES WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. I'VE HAD THE SYSTEM REPROGRAMMED AND THE ISSUES STILL REMAIN.
