2004 Nissan Titan complaints

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN KC SE 4X4 HAS HAD REAREND PROBLEMS 3 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY TRUCK. I HAVE HAD AXLE SEALS REPLACED, DIFFERENTIAL ISSUES, AND NOW FOR THE 3RD TIME, THE DEALERSHIP HAS MY TRUCK OVER 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND! THE SPIDER GEARS LITERALLY FELL APART INSIDE MY DIFFERENTIAL. MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I HAVE ONLY 85,000 MILES ON IT! THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BREAK! I DO NOT TOW, I RARELY USE 4-WHEEL DRIVE! I HEARD A THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM MY REAREND, SO WHILE GETTING ANOTHER RECALL ISSUE RESOLVED HAD THE DEALERSHIP TAKE A LOOK....$3,500 WORTH OF WORK! HUDSON NISSAN HAS BEEN GREAT THROUGH MY OWNERSHIP! THEY DO ALL OF MY TITAN'S MAINTENANCE, AND THEY ARE THE BEST! HOWEVER, NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE....MY TRUCK IS NEARLY PAID OFF AND TO FIX THIS IS MORE THAN HALF WHAT I OWE LEFT ON THE TRUCK! *TR

I HAVE AN 04 NISSAN TITAN PURCHASED 05 WITH 86,000 MILES ON IT. THE REAR END STARTED JERKING AROUND AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE RENDERED USELESS DURING TRANSPORT. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEALS STARTED TO LEAK AND WITHIN A WEEK I HERD A FAINT NOISE. THE VERY NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WAS RENDERED INOPERABLE. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK ON A 2004 NISSAN TITAN SE KING CAB. BOTH SEALS ARE LEAKING BADLY AND SATURATING THE BRAKE PADS WITH AXLE LUBRICANT. *TR

PROBLEM STARTED GRADUALLY AS OCCASIONAL NOISES, SUCH AS "CLUNKING" AND RATTLING, FROM THE WHEELS WHILE DRIVING. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. ONE DAY LATER WHILE DRIVING, HEARD AWFUL GRATING NOISE FROM WHEELS AND ABS/VDC LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PAD BROKE LOOSE AND DESTROYED THE ROTOR, THE ABS SENSOR, ETC. ($1,200 IN DAMAGE). DURING THE TWO WEEKS AFTER SERVICE, THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE BRAKES REACT AS IF IN ABS MODE AND GRIP AND GRIND WHILE STOPPING. TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE USUALLY MAKES THE LIGHT GO OFF AND THE BRAKES THEN OPERATE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BACK AT THE DEALER, WHO STATED THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 2 WHEEL DRIVE WITH 74,600 MILES. I FOUND THAT I HAD A LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING. TOOK IT TO DEALER TO GET IT FIX AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RIGHT SIDE SHOULD BE REPLACED ALSO BUT AT $600.00 A CRACK TO REPLACE ONE SIDE I COULD ONLY AFFORD TO DO THE BAD ONE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET ABOUT OTHER OWNERS OF TITANS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR REAR AXLE SEALS PREMATURELY FAILING WITH LOW MILEAGE I THINK NIACIN NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. IT A SHAM THAT THEY CHARGE YOU $500 TO $600 TO HAVE THESE REPLACED WHEN YOU CAN BUY THE BEARINGS OFF THE INTERNET FOR $75.00.... *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AND WOULD COST $3,300 TO REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 79,000.

ABS BRAKE SYSTEM, THE WARNING LIGHT BRAKE CAME OUT WHILE DRIVING WHEN I PRESS ON BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE FROZE AND WHEN I STOPPED ENGINE AND RESTART THE PROBLEM IS DISAPPEAR BUT IS HAPPENED QUITE OFTEN WHEN I GO TO DEALER THEY WILL CHARGED FOR INSPECTION FOR A LOT OFF MONEY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS ACTIVATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT ONE OF THE SENSORS INSIDE THE AIR CONDITIONER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT SMELLED ANTI-FREEZE AND COOLANT FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER PERFORMED A RADIATOR FLUSH AT THE COST OF $212, WHICH WAS AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE CONTACT ARRIVED HOME AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO COOLANT OR ANTI-FREEZE IN THE VEHICLE. THE RADIATOR WAS BONE DRY. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 50,000.

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 CREW CAB WITH 77K MILES AND BOTH REAR OUTER AXLE SEALS LEAK PROFUSELY. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS TITAN OWNERS AND I FEEL THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPORTED TO THE NHTSA. I HAVE OEM STOCK WHEELS AND TIRES ON IT AND DON'T HAVE ANY SUSPENSION OR DRIVELINE MODIFICATIONS. *TR

THE REAR END IS MAKING HORRIBLE CLANKING SOUND AND TOOK TO A SHOP, THEY SAID IT WAS GOING OUT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 TITAN CREW CAB 4X4 WITH 61,000 MILES. APRIL OF 2009 I CHECKED MY AIR CONDITIONER AND FOUND IT NOT TO BE COOLING. I TOOK IT IN THE MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME I HAD A LEAK IN THE HIGH PRESSURE AC HOSE. CHARGES FOR REPAIR $450.00. OK NO PROBLEM. IN THE FOLLOWING MONTH OF MAY AFTER RETURNING FROM A TRIP I FOUND OIL BELOW THE RIGHT AXEL. AGAIN I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FOR THE POWER STEERING WAS BOTH LEAKING. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE HOSE BRACKETS ON THAT MODEL WERE BAD AND THAT ALONG WITH NEW HOSES HE PUT ON THE NEW TYPE OF BRACKETS. HE DIDN'T SAY WHY THE HOSES LEAKED OTHER THAN "YOU KNOW THE TRUCK IS FIVE YEARS OLD." BY THE WAY THE COST FOR THAT REPAIR $859.00. SO IN THE SPAN OF 30 DAYS I HAVE SPENT OVER $1300.00 TO HAVE ALL OF THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSES REPLACED. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE HOSES LIKE THIS ON ANY VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED AND SOME I KEPT FOR UP TO TEN YEARS. IS IT THE HOSES THAT ARE SUB-STANDARD OR IS IT THE CLAMPS THAT WORE THROUGH THE HOSES? EITHER WAY ALL THE HOSES SHOULD NOT HAVE NEEDED REPLACEMENT IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. IT DOESN'T MATTER I WAS LOOKING BUYING A NEW TITAN UNTIL THIS CAME UP. NO NEW TITAN FOR ME. *TR

DVS SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE BAD, SYSTEM WAS REPROGRAMMED, BUT WENT BAD AGAIN. WAS TOLD THIS IS AN ISSUE IN ALL 2004, 2005, AND SOME 2006 TITANS AND ARMADAS. TRYING TO FIGHT PAYMENT OF THIS REPAIR WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, AND AM BEING PUT OFF. *TR

MY GIRLFRIEND OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE BRAKING SYSTEM STARTED FAILING, SO I PURCHASED NEW BRAKES AND NO CHANGE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED UNTIL I TALKED TO A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME TO TRY THE MASTER CYLINDER. PURCHASED A NEW ONE, NO CHANGE. NISSAN CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEMS BUT WHEN WE PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL IT DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. WE CAN PUMP THEM A COUPLE OF TIMES THEN IT'LL START TO STOP. NISSAN WON'T EVEN TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THE ONLY REPLY WE GET FROM THEM IS "IT NEEDS NEW BRAKES, OR THE BRAKE PADS ARE ON BACKWARDS." WE WHERE BROWSING ON THE INTERNET AND SAY AN ARTICLE WHERE THERE WAS A LEMON LAW AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM BUT NISSAN STILL CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEMS WITH THEM. *TR

REAR AXLE FITTINGS ARE LEAKING GREASE ONTO BRAKES. *TR

REAR AXLE OIL SEAL FAILURE. LEAKED OIL ON TO BRAKE PADS CAUSING REDUCED BRAKE PERFORMANCE. *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND IN OCTOBER OF 2008 I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE SEALS AND BEARINGS AND THE FRONT PINION SEALS. THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND THE REAR END WAS FIXED ON APRIL 15, 2009 BUT NOT ABLE TO GET THE FRONT DONE YET. THIS PROBLEM COME ABOUT A YEAR AFTER OWNING IT AND ABOUT 12000 MILES AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS UP. I HAVE FILES A COMPLAINT TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. *TR

I HAVE 27,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK, I WAS IN 2 TIMES FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS THE LAST TIME THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED RIGHT DUE TO THE NEW BRAKES. I HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN AT 27,000 MILES AND THEY SAY WARRANTY IS OUT!! THIS WAS UNDER ENGINEERED AND NOW ITS MY PROBLEM. ALSO THE REAR SPRING SHACKLE BROKE SENDING THE LEAF SPRING INTO THE BED OF THE TRUCK DENTING IT. I BOUGHT AFTER MARKET SHACKLES AND FOUND THE OTHER SIDE WAS CRACKED. *TR

RIGHT SIDE REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ON BRAKE DRUM. NISSAN TITAN 04 LE. *TR

MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND BOOM A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY NO FORWARD MOVEMENT WHILE IN DRIVE AND LOUD GRINDING NOISE FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. DRIVESHAFT STILL SPINS WHILE IN GEAR. SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER NISSAN TITAN REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE EXHAUST TAIL PIPE WAS DAMAGED DUE TO AN UNKNOWN OBSTACLE ON THE ROAD SURFACE. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS OPENED, THE PARKING LIGHT ACTIVATED WITHOUT ASSISTANCE AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE TURN SIGNAL WAS NONFUNCTIONAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE TAIL PIPE DISENGAGEMENT CONTRIBUTED TO THE MELTING OF THE WIRING HARNESS. THE VEHICLE IS OPERABLE AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 65,000.

REAR AXEL FAILURE IN NISSAN TITAN. DRIVERS SIDE SEAL WENT OUT AT 70K MILES. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN RECENTLY STARTED LEAKING GEAR OIL FROM BOTH AXLES IN THE REAR. CONCURRENTLY MY BRAKE PADS STARTING ABSORBING THE OIL WHICH IN TURN RUINED MY ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, AND NOW IS COSTING ME A PRETTY PENNY TO GET IT FIXED. MY MECHANIC SAID THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORES DO NOT CARRY THESE BEARINGS AND SEALS AND THEREFORE MUST CONTACT THE ORIGINAL DEALER TO ORDER THEM. AFTER READING AND FOLLOWING UP ON THE ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS BY MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS, I AM CURIOUS TO FIND OUT WHAT STEPS IN NISSAN TAKING TO RECALL THESE BAD SEALS AND BEARINGS? WHY SHOULD US THE OWNERS HAVE TO FIX COSTLY REPAIRS WHEN NISSAN KNOWS THEIR PRODUCTION EFFORTS WERE NOT PROPERLY TESTED BEFORE FIELDING THE DEALERSHIPS? PLEASE INFORM ME HOW TO GET IT FIXED FREE OF COST TO ME. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB LE. DRIVER'S SIDE REAR AXLE OIL SEAL FAILED AT SOME TIME PRIOR TO 52,000 MILE INSPECTION. OIL OBSERVED ON ENTIRE REAR BACKING PLATE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE SEALS TWICE ALREADY.(ONCE MARCH 2009 AND ONCE ABOUT 1.5 YEARS AGO. WARRANTY COVERED, BUT I AM GETTING CLOSE TO MY WARRANTY LIMIT. I KNOW THAT THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE THE FLUID LEAKS DOWN ON YOUR BRAKES, WHICH IS A BIG FACTORY FAULT. I WAS JUST HOPING THAT SOMEONE COULD HELP ME, AND OTHER TITAN OWNERS, FOR THE SAFETY AND MONEY, OUT OF POCKET WHEN WARRANTY IS UP. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND COME UP WITH SOMETYPE OF PERMANENT FIX. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR THANK YOU BRIAN CASTLE

THE DOOR HANDLES LOCK EITHER OPEN OR CLOSED AND CAN LOCK YOU OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE EVEN IF THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED OR LOCK THE DOOR OPEN WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CLOSE YOUR DOOR. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL 2004 NISSAN TITAN FAILURE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING. BRAKE WARP AND SHAKE. THESE ARE OBVIOUS MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND NISSAN SHOULD FIX THEM AT NO COST TO OWNER. THESE ARE ALSO CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUES. WE ARE TALKING BRAKE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE REAR END LOCK UP. THIS IS UNHEARD OF WITH A VEHICLE WITH THIS MILEAGE. *TR

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE @ 70,000 MILES... NISSAN IS SO UNDER HANDED THEY ARE STILL HOLDING THE PATENT AND WILL NOT RELEASE THE PARTS TO THE AFTERMARKET. WHEN I FIRST CALLED FOR THE REAR APPROX. 9 MONTHS AGO IT WAS $1400.00... NOW THE SAME DEALER SAYS THE PRICE HAS GONE UP TO $1700... THIS IS BEYOND HIGHWAY ROBBERY IT IS FLAT OUT A DISREGARD FOR THE CONSUMER. IT IS BECAUSE OF THIS AT EVERY CHANCE I GET I STOP AT THE BUSIEST NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND CONTINUALLY MAKE A "SCENE'. I KNOW IT WILL GET ME NO WHERE, BUT I STILL OWE $17,000 ON A POS THAT I CANNOT DRIVE. *TR

REAR END SEAL STARTED TO LEAK. *TR

FRONT AXLE JUST FELL OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL, RESULTING IN A $2300 REPAIR APPARENTLY NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY THERE WAS NO REASON FOR IT TO BREAK. *TR

4 WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL UNIT BAD, 4X4 WON'T ENGAGE THE UNITS IS DEFECTIVE THAT NISSAN HAS IT IN BACKORDER NATIONALLY. *TR

I BOUGHT A 20004 NISSAN TITAN USED AND WITHIN MONTHS BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR DIFF. HAVE GONE BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW WHEN IT GETS COLD MY DOOR HANDLES FREEZE. THE HANDLES CAN NOT BE OPENED ,THEN THEY WILL NOT CLOSE YOU NEED TO HOLD THEM CLOSED AND LOCK THE DOORS TO KEEP THEM CLOSED. THIS IS UNSAFE. *TR

SPIDER GEARS IN REAR DIFFERENTIAL BROKE MOMENTARILY LOCKING UP DIFFERENTIAL RESULTING IN THE PINION SHAFT BREAKING OFF. THE REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY. *TR

MY TRUCK SOUNDED SLIGHTLY LOUDER THAN NORMAL ON MY SHORT DRIVE HOME. I WAS DRIVING ON A 35MPH ROAD AND SOMETHING DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT. IT SOUNDED LIKE MY TIRES WERE OUT OF ALIGNMENT. I DROVE THE HALF MILE HOME ON THE 35MPH ROAD IN 2WD. I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AND LOOKED AT MY TIRES AND UNDER MY TRUCK. EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL. THE NEXT MORNING I NOTICED SOME OIL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I SAW IT WAS COMING FROM MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AXLE SEAL. MY AXLE WAS PULLED LOOSE FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL BECAUSE SOME WEAK CLIP THAT HELD THE ASSEMBLY TOGETHER HAS BROKEN. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO GET AN ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A ONE OF A KIND PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME IT WOULD BE SEVERAL DAYS TO GET PARTS AND REPAIR THE DAMAGE. THEY ESTIMATED THE COST WOULD BE BETWEEN $350-$600 TO REPLACE THE FRONT RIGHT AXLE, AXLE SEAL, AND CLIP. ADDITIONAL COST AND PARTS WOULD BE NECESSARY IF ANY FURTHER DAMAGE WAS FOUND IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

FRONT AXLE POPS OUT OF DIFFERENTIAL CASE. UNKNOWN DAMAGE INSIDE CASE. *TR

I BOUGHT A NISSAN TITAN NEW IN MAY OF 2004. PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES WERE IMMEDIATE. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE BRAKES, ROTORS, ETC. A COUPLE OF TIMES DUE TO DEFECTS. THEY NOW SAY THAT THE BRAKES ARE OUT OF WARRANTY SO I AM DOING IT ON MY OWN AND OFTEN. THIS PAST WEEKEND I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. I WENT AND BOUGHT ANOTHER SET OF BRAKES AND ROTORS. WHILE CHANGING THEM, NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES CALIPERS WERE CRACKED AND RUSTED. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER, WAITING ON A DECISION FROM THEM TO SEE IF THEY WILL FIX THEM. TRUCK IS UNDER WARRANTY, AND EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED FROM NISSAN. THESE WERE SUPPOSE TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER BEFORE, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY DID. I AM PAYING A TRUCK PAYMENT EVERY MONTH FOR A TRUCK THAT BASICALLY SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. WE NEVER KNOW IF THE BRAKES WILL WORK. NISSAN DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ADMITTED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM DESIGN. I FEAR THAT SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED IF NISSAN DOESN'T STEP UP AND PUT AN END TO THE BRAKE ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE THE DATE IT WAS PURCHASED. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND THE BRAKING POWER WAS LOST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ROTORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM (ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS) HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES SINCE THE ORIGINAL FAILURE DATE. WHEN ADULTS USE THE REAR SEAT SAFETY BELTS, THEY BECOME TIGHTER AS THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED. THE SEAT BELTS CAUSE A GREAT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO THE NECK AND CHEST AREA AND HAVE TO BE RELEASED AND RECONNECTED FOR SAFETY. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE OCCURRED SUDDENLY WHILE ACCELERATING AND CHANGING LANES ON IH-45 ACCESS ROAD ON THE WAY TO BROTHER'S COLLEGE GRADUATION. AXLE ASSEMBLY REPLACED. REPAIRS COMPLETE IN 2 BUSINESS DAYS, RENTAL PROVIDED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING LIKE NORMAL CAME TO A FOUR WAY STOP LIGHT AT A BUSY HIGHWAY INTERSECTION, STOPPED AND PRECEDED TO GO WHEN IT WAS MY TURN. MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL GRENADED AND I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY I NEW I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND I PUT MY TRUCK INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND LET MY FRONT TIRES PULL ME THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I THEN PULLED OVER TO A SAFE SPOT AND LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE. GEAR OIL ALL OVER MY TRUCK AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS FORTUNATE TO REACT QUICKLY. BUT THIS REALLY COULD HAVE BEEN BAD. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MY DEALER AND IT COST ME $3500 FOR A NEW REAR END. THEY (NISSAN DEALERSHIP) REPLACED THE WHOLE AXLE ASSEMBLY. THEY TOLD ME NISSAN WOULD ONLY LET THEM REPLACE THE WHOLE THING AND NOT JUST THE GEARS. FISHY IF YOU ASK ME. A NORMAL REAR DIFFERENTIAL FIX SHOULD COST LESS THAN $1000. SOUNDS LIKE NISSAN KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM!!!! *TR

THE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN ALL FREEZE SHUT WHEN IT GETS COLD OUT. IT SEEMS TO LET WATER COME IN AROUND HANDLE AND THAN IT FREEZES. THIS PREVENT ME FROM BEING ABLE TO GAIN ENTRANCE INTO VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS EVERYTIME IT IS COLD OUT ESPECIALLY IN WINTER. NISSAN REFUSES TO PAY FOR REPAIRS AS VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT WILL COST ROUGHLY $175 FOR PARTS PER DOOR PLUS LABOR. I GUESS IN LATER MODELS THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THEM BUT REFUSES TO FIX VEHICLES WITH OLD OLD DESIGNED HANDLES. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN, LAST WEEK I NOTICED WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING CORNERS THERE WAS BANGING COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. WITHIN 2 DAYS THE TRUCK WAS UNDRIVABLE...THE DRIVESHAFT, WHILE IN GEAR WOULD JUST SPIN INSIDE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE VEHICLE WAS TO PLACE TRANSMISSION INTO 4WD AND USE THE FRONT WHEELS TO MOVE THE TRUCK! *TR
