2004 Nissan Titan complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON A FREEWAY A VIBRATION WAS OBSERVED IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS SQUEALING WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 3000 MILES WHEN IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO DETERMINED THE FRONT BRAKES WERE TOO OLD. THE TWO FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED HOWEVER THE BRAKE PROBLEMS CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS 5 TIMES. THE SIXTH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ALL FOUR ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERN BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CONTINUED WITH THE BRAKES PROBLEM AND IT HAS REPRESENTED A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. UPDATED 9/13/2006 - WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THERE WAS A POPPING SOUND, THE PEDAL VIBRATED AND THE PEDAL FELL TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKES ON THE RIGHT SIDE WERE CRACKED AND THE ONES ON THE LEFT SIDE WERE ABOUT TO CRACK. THE LAST TECHNICIAN WHO WORKED ON THE VEHICLE TOLD THE CONSUMER SHE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE THE CAR. *NM

28,800 +/- MILES TOTAL WHEN DIFFERENTIAL BLEW ON MY 2004 TITAN SE WITH BIG TOW PACKAGE. I WAS TOWING MY WEEKEND WARRIOR FB2600 WHEN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BLEW OUT UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE TOWED THIS TRAILER WITH THAT TRUCK FOR ABOUT AN AVERAGE TOTAL OF 3000 MILES. TOTAL TRAILER WEIGHT LOADED APPROX. 9200-9600 LBS. *NM

LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING AT 10,769 MILES - REPLACED - OIL COULD HAVE CONTAMINATED BRAKE PADS RESULTING IN DIMINISHED BRAKING EFFICIENCY LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING AGAIN AT 13,022 MILES - REPLACED - DIFFERENTIAL OIL COULD HAVE CONTAMINATED BRAKE PADS RESULTING IN DIMINISHED BRAKING EFFICIENCY LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING THIRD TIME AT 26,707 MILES - ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY REPLACED. ONCE AGAIN DIFFERENTIAL OIL COULD CONTAMINATE REAR BRAKE PADS CAUSING BRAKING PROBLEMS.

AXLE SEAL LEAK. RIGHT REAR SEAL. FLUID CAUSED PARKING BRAKE TO SLIP SLIGHTLY. OCCURRED AT 37,000 MILES ON 2004 NISSAN TITAN 4X4. DEALER REPAIRED AND REPLACED UNDER NISSAN 60,000 MILE POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY. [FORUM MEMBERS GENERALLY BELIEVE THE REAR AXLE BREATHER ELEMENT, (A ONE WAY CHECK VALVE), CREATES A VACUUM THAT SUCKS THE SEALS, THEREBY CREATING THE LEAK. SOME EVEN REMOVE THE ELEMENT AND INSTALL TUBING INTO THEIR TAIL LIGHT TO ALLEVIATE THE CHECK VALVE AND STILL PREVENT WATER INTRUSION INTO THE DIFFERENTIAL/AXLE]. *JB

BRAKES GO TO FLOOR, HAVE LITTLE BRAKING AND BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES DURING DECENT DOWN HILLS. THAT IS A BAD TIME TO LOSE THE BRAKES. *NM

REAR SEALS LEAKING ON NISSAN TITAN, FLUID GETTING ON BRAKES. *NM

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING. DEALER REPLACED UNDER "GOOD WILL". *NM

MULTIPLE LEAKS WITH REAR AXLE SEALS PUTTING DIFFERENT FLUID ON REAR BRAKES. *NM

GAS FLIES OUT OF GAS TANK WHEN FILLING EMPTY TANK AT COOLER TEMPERATURES. EVEN AT LOW FLOWS THE GAS SPLASHES OUT OF THE GAS TANK 2-3 FEET IN A PROJECTILE MANNER SPILLING GAS ONTO THE VEHICLE , PAVEMENT AND PERSON PUMPING THE GAS. VEHICLE IS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB 2WD TRUCK. *NM

WATER LEAKS INSIDE OF TRUCK THROUGH THE FIRE WALL. A/C DRAIN HOSE FIX WAS DONE BUT IT STILL LEAKS WATER. DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO REPAIR. WATER INSIDE OF TRUCK CAUSED MOLD TO GROW IN THE CARPET AND SPORES INTO THE HVAC SYSTEM. THIS CAUSED TWO PEOPLE TO HAVE TO GO TO THE DOCTOR FOR DIFFICULTY BREATHING. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR 1 1/2 YEARS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THE BRAKES SHOOK, VIBRATED AND STOPPING POWER WAS DIMINISHED. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS FIVE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED AFTER 4,000 MILES. THE FIFTH TIME THE FRONT PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED AT 27,000 MILES. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE OF THE MILEAGE IN BETWEEN. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING REPAIR.

REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING, WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DIFFERENTIAL OIL GETTING ONTO THE REAR BRAKES CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION CAME OUT OF THE PARK POSITION AND BEGAN ROLLING WHILE AT THE TOP OF A DRIVEWAY. A CHILD IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE DURING THE INCIDENT WHICH RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE RUNNING OVER THE CHILD. THE CHILD WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND SUFFERED CONTUSIONS. THE VEHICLE HIT A TREE AND THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE COMPANY WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THERE WAS A RECALL, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 04V408000 REGARDING THE POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:COLUMN SHIFT ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN.

REAR AXLE REPLACED DUE TO FAILED REAR DIFFERENTIAL. JUST OVER 20K MILES. *JB

THE SEAT BELT RETRACTORS IN THE REAR ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY DO NOT ALLOW FOR MOVEMENT, AND GET TIGHTER AND TIGHTER UNTIL YOU HAVE TO UNBUCKLE (DEFEATING THE PURPOSE OF A SEAT BELT) AND READJUST. SEE THE OTHER IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE FOR DETAILS. MY PROBLEM IS JUST AS THEY DESCRIBE. IN DEALING WITH THE NISSAN DEALER, THEY FIRST SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE SERVICE WRITER TO THE VEHICLE, AND DEMONSTRATED THE PROBLEM FOR HIM. HE THEN REPLIED "OH THAT PROBLEM (I HAD MADE THE PROBLEM PERFECTLY CLEAR WHEN I TOOK IT IN), WELL, THEY ALL DO THAT. WE HAD ANOTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAIN, AND WE CHECKED AN 06 MODEL, AND THEY WORK THE SAME WAY". ALL THAT MEANS IS THAT 04 AND 06 ARE DEFECTIVE, AND PROBABLY THE 05 AS WELL. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN TO SERVICE THIS ISSUE THREE TIMES, ALWAYS WITH THE SAME RESULT: DENIAL THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS, AND THEN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT "THEY ALL DO THAT" (AND IMPLYING THAT THEY CAN'T FIX IT SINCE "THEY ALL DO THAT"). YESTERDAY A SERVICE WRITER ADMITTED NISSAN WAS AWARE, WORKING ON A FIX, BUT DIDN'T HAVE ONE YET. 800-NISSAN1 DENIES THAT ANY DEFECT INVESTIGATION (OR SOLUTION) IS UNDER WAY ON THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS NOT BEING HONEST. THE FOLLOWING SEEMS CLEAR FROM MY EXPERIENCE AND THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE: 1) THE DEFECT EXISTS, 2) NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT'S EXISTENCE, AND 3) NISSAN HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE (THEY ARE STILL PRODUCING VEHICLES WITH THE SAME DEFECT. I INVITE THE NHTSA INVESTIGATOR TO CONTACT ME,

REAR AXLE LEAKS AND DIFFERENTIAL PINION SEAL LEAKING. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A COMPLETELY NEW REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY INCLUDING DIFFERENTIAL. *JB

DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ENTIRE AXLE. *NM

SEAT BELTS, REAR OUTBOARD, RETRACT AND DO NOT RELEASE WHILE OCCUPANT IS WEARING. *NM

REAR END FAILURE ON A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. TURNING A CORNER WHILE UNDER POWER. DEALER STATED THEY ORDERED A NEW REAR END AND IT IS ON ITS WAY TO THEM, DO NOT KNOW IF IT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY YET. *JB

WHEN USING DIMMER SWITCH CHANGING FROM LOW TO HIGH BEAM OR HIGH TO LOW BEAM, I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL OR I WILL TURN THE LIGHTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND ITS VERY DANGEROUS. *JB

1-KNOCKING SOUND, SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL ENGINE. 2-BODY & STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION AT IDLE. 3-HISSING SOUND WHEN HEAT OR AC IS ON. 4-ROTORS REPLACED 3 TIMES. STILL HAVING SOME PROBLEM. 5-WHEN IDLE IN GEAR (IDLE DROPS BELOW 500 STEERING START TO VIBRATE. 6-VIBRATION ON BRAKE PEDAL. 7-EMERGENCY BRAKE NOT HOLDING WHEN IN PARK. *NM

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TRUCK VIN [XXX] BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR THE DEALERSHIP HAS PUT 2 MASTER CYLINDERS ON IT BUT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM THEY TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD SON WHO IS LEARNING TO DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES BUT IT DID IT TO HIM AND SCARED HIM BECAUSE HE THOUGHT HE HAD NO BRAKES. THE BRAKES ARE REAL SPONGY AND GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IF PRESSED FIRMLY. IN A HARD BRAKING SITUATION SUCH AS ON A STEEP HILL AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKES GOES TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING 2 YEARS. *JB UPDATED 07/6/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

REAR DIFFERENTAL

BRAKE AND REAR END FAILURE. *NM

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH 15,000 MILES. SOON AFTER PURCHASE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE WHEN BRAKING. NOW IT HAS PROGRESSED TO A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WHEN BRAKING, MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM PLANNING TO REPLACE THE ROTORS, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE THE BRAKING SYSTEM BECAUSE LIVES DEPEND ON AN EFFECTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM. *NM

WATER LEAKS INTO CAB CAUSE MOLD TO GROW AND TRUCK TO SMELL. TWO MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY HAVE GOTTEN SICK FROM THE MOLD. TRUCK HAS BEEN IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPAIR BUT IT NEVER FIXES THE PROBLEM AND THE MOLD IN THE AIR CONDITIONING WILL NOT GO AWAY. *JB

INITIAL COMPLAINT TO DEALER WAS GAS TANK NOT FILLING PROPERLY. AFTER TAKING IN FOR REPAIR, TANK BEGAN LEAKING LARGE AMOUNTS OF GAS WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE TAKEN IN TO HAVE TANK FILL HOSE REPAIRED AGAIN. ONE MONTH LATER, AGAIN HAD A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE BEGAN LEAKING WHILE BEING DRIVEN. *NM

EXITED OFF OF TOLL WAY, AND CAME TO A STOP AT THE END OF THE EXIT. ACCELERATED TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. SUDDENLY HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION FELT BUCKING THEN THE ENGINE REVVED UP BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE. PULLED OVER, STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN WITH NO RESPONSE. PUT VEHICLE INTO 4X4 MODE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY ORDERED AND INSTALLED A NEW COMPLETE REAR END. *JB

SINCE PURCHASING MY TRUCK IN AUGUST OF 2004 I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL BRAKE RELATED ISSUES. I'VE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE SAME DEALER FOR SERVICE ON EACH FAILURE/ISSUE. THE BREAK ISSUES EXPERIENCED HAVE BEEN BRAKE LIGHTS TURNING ON, BRAKES SHUDDERING, THE TRUCK NOT BRAKING PROPERLY, BRAKES NOT WORKING UNTIL THE PEDAL WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY PRESSED. RECENTLY THE TRUCK FAILED TO STOP RESULTING IN A REAR END COLLISION. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED/RESURFACED ROTORS, BRAKE PADS AND REPLACED SENSORS DURING THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. HOWEVER, I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE ISSUE AFTER ISSUE REGARDING THE BRAKES. I HAVE HAD OTHER DEFECTS AS WELL, BUT THE BRAKE ISSUES HAVE BEEN THE PRIMARY ISSUE. *NM

REAR END FAILURE. REPLACED REAR END. *NM

LAST APRIL - LEAKING LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL. REPLACED BY DEALER. TODAY (ONE YEAR LATER) - DISCOVERED RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING ON SAME VEHICLE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP -- NEW PART ON ORDER. *NM

NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB, REAR SEAT MIDDLE SHOULDER/ LAP BELT, LOCKS UP WHEN USED, TRAPPING OCCUPANT WHEN BELT LOCKS UP, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO RELEASE, AND THEN REQUIRES OCCUPANT TO GET OUT AND TRY TO RETRACT BELT TO START WORKING AGAIN. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY THE DEALER. THE ROTORS WERE TURNED, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE BRAKES. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRACTION, ABS, AND DIFFERENTIAL LOCK LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE ILLUMINATION.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL GEARS BROKEN EXTREME GRINDING NOISE BUT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP WHERE REAR AXEL WAS REPLACED. *JB

CAN NOT READ COMPUTER-GENERATED INFORMATION IN DAYLIGHT, CLOUDY OR OTHERWISE. INCLUDES GEAR INDICATOR, TOW MODE, MILEAGE, AIR CONDITIONING, ETC. HAD AN ARMY LT. COL. ON HIS KNEES TRYING TO READ THE GAUGES AS WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH LAS VEGAS, NV. PRIOR TO THIS TRIP OUT WEST, ALL OF MY DRIVING HAD BEEN LOCAL AND INFREQUENT (I USE A MORE ECONOMICAL CAR FOR IN-TOWN/LOCAL DRIVING), AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT COMPUTER GENERATED. THIS IS UNSAFE AND I DO NOT WISH TO BE KILLED TRYING TO SEE THE DASH INSTRUMENTS. I HAVE DRIVEN WITH THE RHEOSTAT TURNED ALL THE WAY UP, WITH NO EFFECT/BENEFIT. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK TO TOW MY TRAILER AND TRAVEL. I AM UNSAFE DURING DAYLIGHT AND TOWING A TRAILER AT NIGHT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE NOR PRACTICAL. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER (NISSAN) WHO DIRECTED ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER (JENKINS IN LAKELAND, FL). WHILE THE HEAD OF SERVICE (MR. DUNKIN) AGREED HE COULD NOT READ THE INFORMATION ON A CLOUDY DAY, HIS ONLY ADVICE WAS TO TURN THE RHEOSTAT ALL THE WAY UP, WHICH WAS ALREADY DONE. HE SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE. DID NOT GIVE ME ANY PAPERWORK TO PROVE I WAS THERE. CONDITION IS ON-GOING AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. A PERSON COULD EASILY TAKE FULL ATTENTION OFF OF DRIVING TO TRY TO READ THE GAUGES. THIS COULD AND WOULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THE NUMBER OF FAILURES IS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IN DAYLIGHT. *JB

HAVE BEEN HEARING LOUD "CLUNK" NOISE GENERATING FROM REAR DIFFERENTIAL GETTING WORSE. HAVE FOLLOWED MAINTENANCE INTERVALS, I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP LATER TODAY. *JB

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. *JB

2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH 3 SEPARATE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURES- EACH TIME WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT, STOP SIGN, OR SOMETHING SIMILAR. WHEN PULLING AWAY DIFFERENTIAL WILL BREAK CAUSE VEHICLE TO BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. NEED TO PUT IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TO GET OUT THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. *JB

DROVE FROM PHOENIX TO COLORADO SPRINGS, UPON ARRIVAL FOUND LEAK FROM REAR AXLE SEALS ON BOTH REAR TIRES. *NM

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS LEAKING @ 30,000 MILES. THE DIFFERENTIAL APPEARS TO HAVE PRODUCED SO MUCH HEAT THAT THE PAINT FELL OFF OF THE DIFF COVER AND THE SURFACE HAS RUSTED. *NM

NO SIGNS OF ANY KIND NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. REAR DIFFERENTIAL STARTED TO LEAK FOR COVER REAR WAS DRAINED AND RESEALED. *JB

2ND DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. 1ST WAS AT 3,400 MILES. DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED. THIS ONE HAPPENED TONIGHT AT 15,642 MILES. IS THIS SOME KIND OF JOKE? I MAKE HARD EARNED PAYMENTS ON THIS TRUCK. WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE? PROTECT THE CONSUMER? NISSAN HAS BEEN HUSH HUSH ON THIS BUT THE FAILURE RATE IS MORE THAN ONE IN 200 TRUCKS. I'M GETTING A LAWYER. DO SOMETHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (BESIDES PROTECT THE CORPORATION)*JB

1) LOUD "BANG" FROM REAR-END OF VEHICLE WHEN ACCELERATING AWAY FROM STOP. 2) LOUD "CLUNKING" NOISE FROM REAR-END OF VEHICLE WHEN TURNING AND WHEN SLOWING. DEALER INSPECTED AND FOUND REAR DIFFERENTIAL COMPONENTS BROKEN. 3) DEALER ORDERED COMPLETE NEW REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY, WHICH CONTAINS ALL DIFFERENTIAL COMPONENTS. PARTS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER, NO PROMISE DATE AVAILABLE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ATTEMPTING TO APPLY BRAKE PRESSURE THE BRAKES FAILED RESULTING IN A CRASH. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED LEFT FRONTAL DAMAGE AND IT WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT AND IS REPAIRING THE LEFT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES STILL EXISTS, NO OTHER INSPECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AT THE SCENE.

SEAT BELTS LOCKING UP. SEAT BELTS ON FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR OUTSIDE PASSENGERS HAVE A RETRACT SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT ALLOW PASSENGER TO LEAN FORWARD. BELTS ARE LOCKING UP REQUIRING PASSENGERS TO DISCONNECT BELTS FROM BELT LATCH AND LETTING BELT RETRACT ALL THE WAY BACK TO STORED POSITION. THEN THEY CAN BE PULLED OUT AND REATTACHED AND THEY WORK FOR AWHILE. THEY WILL DO THIS AT ANYTIME. THERE IS NO SET TIME THAT IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENS WITH DIFFERENT PASSENGERS BUT MOSTLY WITH WOMEN. THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT DOES NOT HAVE ANY LOCKUPS. THE SEAT BELTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 4 (FOUR) TIMES TO DATE AND ARE GOING TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AS SOON AS THEY ARE RECEIVED BY DEALER. THEY HAVE BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY. WE HAVE LOST COUNT OF HOW MANY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. PROBABLY 500+. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT BELTS ARE DISCONNECTED WHILE DRIVING AND THEN RECONNECTED LEAVING THE PASSENGERS UNPROTECTED DURING THIS PROCEDURE. BELTS JUST GET TIGHTER AND TIGHTER UNTIL THEY HAVE TO BE RELEASED AND RESET. *NM

NOTICED A SMALL LEAK AT THE RIGHT END OF REAR AXLE. ALSO, ALL THE PAINT WAS "COOKED" OFF THE REAR DIFF COVER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE ENTIRE REAR END ASSY WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKES BECAME SOFT AND SPONGY, AND THEN THE FRONT END BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND TURNED THE ROTORS. THE PROBLEM RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE CONTACT STATED THE ROTORS ARE NOT THE CORRECT SIZE FOR THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 03/17/06. *JB

AT APPROXIMATELY 7000 MILES I NOTED THAT ALL OF THE PAINT HAD BURNED OFF THE REAR AXLE, TOOK TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR ADVISE, THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO DEFECT. OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS THE REAR END BEGAN TO MAKE EXCESSIVE NOISE AND I RETURNED TRUCK TO DEALER. THEY ADVISED ME I NEEDED A NEW REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY. AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE NEW REAR AXLE THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A VIBRATION AT 25-30 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP 2 SEPARATE VISITS OVER 3 DAYS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. DEALER SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND I AM TO LIVE WITH IT. SEVERAL OTHER TRUCKS HAD REAR AXLES REPLACED. *AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE SHOULDER STRAPS ON THE REAR SEAT BELTS LOCK UP WHILE IN USE. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND THE PASSENGERS CANNOT MOVE AS A RESULT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SEATBELTS, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. OTHER VEHICLES ON THE DEALERSHIP LOT WERE INSPECTED AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER STATES THIS IS HOW THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. UPDATED 03/28/06. *JB

2004 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB PICKUP. I AM RESIDING IN RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION NEW SUBDIVISION WHICH OCCASIONALLY HAS MUD ON THE STREETS. WHEN THE TITAN GOES THROUGH EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF MUD IT LOSES BRAKES. I WENT THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND STOPPED, GOING DOWN THE OPPOSITE SIDE SHOULDER. LUCKILY, NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. BUT, AFTER ROLLING AGAIN AND PUMPING THE BRAKES, THEY RETURNED. WENT THROUGH THE MUDDY STREET AGAIN TO TEST. SAME RESULT APPEARED, NO BRAKES OR VERY LIMITED BRAKES. IN ADDITION, AN AWFUL NOISE WAS MADE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AFTER GOING THROUGH THE MUD OF A PAVED ROAD. THIS IS A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT/INJURY/DEATH AWAITING TO HAPPEN. *AK
