Nissan Titan

Which Nissan Titan years should you avoid?

Going by 3,266 owner complaints filed with NHTSA, the Nissan Titan years to avoid are 2004, 2005 and 2006.

• 20041,046 complaints, 9.4× a typical Titan year, most often about the transmission.
• 2005891 complaints, 8.0× a typical Titan year, most often about the transmission.
• 2006430 complaints, 3.9× a typical Titan year, most often about the transmission.

How this is worked out: each year is compared with a typical year of the same model, which takes most of the difference in sales out of it, and its share of serious failures is compared with every other car of the same model year, because older cars were complained about differently. A year needs 25 complaints to be judged at all. Complaints are unverified owner reports. Full method →
