2005 Nissan Titan complaints

BOUGHT A USED 2005 NISSAN 4X4 TITAN, FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. I NOTICED FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WAS LEAKING IN THE DRIVEWAY THE NEXT DAY. NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE CV SHAFT WAS PULLING OUT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL AND NOT PROPERLY SEATED. AUTOMOTIVE SHOP FOUND C CLIP ON THE END OF THE SPLINED AXLE SHAFT BROKEN AND THE SPLINES STRIPPED AND TWISTED WHERE IT GOES INTO THE GEAR. REPLACED THE DRIVERS SIDE CV SHAFT, AXLE SHAFT, GEAR, & BEARINGS. VEHICLE HAD 44500 MILES ON IT. *TR

ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 2 MPH IN THE REVERSE POSITION, THE CONTACT HEARD AN UNUSUALLY LOUD POPPING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS HAD SEPARATED AND THE FRONT PINION BEARING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

DRIVING ALONG. STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. THE REAR END ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREWCAB, MADE A REAL LOUD CLUNK SOUND. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN BACKING UP TO THE RIGHT, AND TURN RIGHT. GOING SLOW. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 71212 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL ON 2005 NISSAN TITAN BROKE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IN RESEARCHING ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH NISSAN TITANS AROUND THE 50K -85K MILE RANGE. BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BECOME A RECALL ISSUE AS THIS COULD HAVE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES IF THE REAR END LOCKS UP WHEN IT BRAKE AT SPEED. *TR

TRUCK STARTED MAKING CLUNK NOISE 5 MONTHS AGO EVERY ONE IN A WHILE I THOUGHT IT WAS STUFF IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. LAST NIGHT I WAS TURNING A CORNER IS MADE A THE CLUNK NOISE AND EVERY TURN I TOOK UNDER POWER MADE THE CLUNK NOISE AND WHEN I START FROM A STOP ON WET DRIVING SURFACES. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 CREW CAB AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HAS A BROKEN REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THE COST TO REPAIR IS $3,500 AN NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? I'VE TOWED A WATERCRAFT TRAILER ABOUT 5 TIMES AND NOTHING ELSE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION, A LOUD THUMP UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THEN THUMPING WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. AFTER TAKING MY TITAN TO A MECHANIC, HE TOLD ME THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS DESTROYED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

MY 05 NISSAN TITAN FUEL GAUGE READS THAT I HAVE A QUARTER OF A TANK LEFT WHEN I RUN OUT OF GAS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY SENDING UNIT IN THE GAS TANK. THIS IS DISTURBING BECAUSE IF I WERE TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR MY WIFE HAS MY TRUCK AND RUNS OUT OF GAS, THE POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF WHEN THE TRUCK DIES FROM NO FUEL. THIS COULD CAUSE A COLLISION AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THIS IS NOT A CHANCE I AM WANTING TO TAKE WITH THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY. THIS ITEM HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER NISSAN TITANS, BUT WHEN I CALLED ABOUT MINE IT WAS SAID THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT KNOWN THAT THE 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB SE 4 WD ..VIN NUMBER [XXX]...ALSO HAS THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. AND THE RECALL ID # 49063 IS FOR THE FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM RECALL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL*-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH FELL OUT OF PLACE ON THE STEERING COLUMN SO SHE WOULD HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,000.

MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN HAS TWO CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THEY ARE CRACKED INTO TWO PIECES AND ARE ALLOWING CARBON MONIXIDE TO ESCAPE FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ADJACENT TO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LETHAL FAILURE DUE TO CO POISIONING. NISSAN HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND WILL NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR REPORTED CASES. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND I UNDERSTAND NISSAN'S RELUCTANCE, FINANCIALLY, TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS NATURE OF THE DESIGNED FLAW THAT CAUSED THE FAILURE I BELIEVE THAT A RECALL IS JUSTIFIED. I AM VERY WILLING TO TAKE THE STEPS REQUIRED TO INITIATE A RECALL, BUT I AM NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED.

2005 NISSAN TITAN: FUEL SENDER UNIT IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. NISSAN STATES THIS YEAR/MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL. REFUSED TO FIX .TANK SHOWS 1/4 LEFT IN TANK ,WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY EMPTY.

I THINK THE BRAKE SYSTEM IN MY 2005 TITAN IS INADEQUATE. THE FRONT DISC ROTORS WERE BENT @ 20000 MILES AND REPLACED BY NISSAN FOR THIS DEFECT BUT AT 60000 MILES, THE FRONT DISC ROTORS WERE BENT AGAIN. MAKING STOPPING THIS TRUCK HAZARDOUS AS THE STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND IT TOOK MUCH FARTHER TO STOP. I CHECK THE DISC ROTORS AND THE BRAKE PADS AND THEY ARE NORMAL. I CONTACT NISSAN BUT THEY DIDN'T RESPONSE.*DT

LOUD ROAR FROM REAR OF TRUCK. ONCE IT STARTED IT GOT WORSE OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. CARRIED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD REAR END GEAR FAILURE. DEALER REPLACED REAR END. I CALLED NISSAN BECAUSE ONLY 10,000 OUT OF WARRANTY BUT TURNED DOWN. IF REAR END HAD WENT OUT AT SPEED THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS...NISSAN NEEDS TO REPAIR THESE TRUCKS! *TR

2005 TITAN 4X4 TRUCK. I HAD A NEW SET OF TIRES PUT ON MY TRUCK. THE TIRE SHOP NOTICED FLUID LEAKING ONTO THE BACK PLATE OF THE BRAKE ON THE RIGHT REAR OF MY TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS GEAR LUBE LEAKING OUT OF THE AXLE SEAL AND CONTAMINATED THE E-BRAKE AND PADS FOR THAT WHEEL. HE ALSO HAD TO CHANGE THE BEARING BECAUSE IT WAS PRESSED ON BETWEEN THE SEAL. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AXLE FALLS OUT OF DIFFERENTIAL CONSTANTLY. THIS IS ON A 2005 NISSAN TITAN SE 4X4. I KNOW THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, BECAUSE EVERYBODY ON ANY TITAN FORUM IS COMPLAINING ABOUT IT WITH TITANS FROM 2004 TO 2006. *TR

MY TITAN, AS I'M DRIVING HESITATES, OR MOMENTARILY CUTS RESPONSE, AND MY ENGINE STALLS AND TURNS OFF, I HAVE SINCE THEN FOUND OUT THAT MY IPDM WAS THE RESPONSIBLE COMPONENT FOR SUCH STALLS.....IT HAPPENS TWICE A DAY AT UNGIVEN TIMES, I REPLACED THE IPDM AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL/AXLE SEAL LEAK. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 FRONT DRIVER SIDE AXLE SHAFT PULLED OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND LEAKED FLUID. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME A TON!!!!!!!!!!!!! NISSAN SHOULD COVER THIS. I HAVE READ A LOT FORUMS AND MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. WHY IS NISSAN NOT MAKING THIS RIGHT? *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN. I MADE A TURN ONTO AN ON RAMP GOING ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOUR WHEN IT FELT LIKE I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I LOOKED AND NO ONE WAS THERE. MY TRUCK STARTED MAKING A REALLY BAD POPPING NOISE SO I HAD IT TOWED TO MEINEKE WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS OUT. SO I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY GAVE ME THE SAME DIAGNOSIS AND DENIED MY CLAIM FOR THEM TO FIX IT. PRICE TAG FOR THE REPAIR IS 3300 NOT INCLUDING TAXES. *TR

NISSAN TITAN FRONT & REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE - I PURCHASED THE NISSAN TITAN - OFF ROAD/BIG TOW PACKAGE IN JULY 2005 AND PRIMARILY USED THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. EXPERIENCED A SLIGHT CLICKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END AND BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WAS DAMAGED AND THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE WAS NOT ATTACHED TO THE DIFFERENTIAL. WHILE AT THE DEALER I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE REAR END. FIRST THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THEN 24 LATER AFTER CONSIDERATE PROMPTING THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR END NEED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN USA PAID FOR THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL (PARTS ONLY) AND HAS REJECTED MY REQUEST TO REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND OTHER SITES NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

MY GRANDSON OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICK UP, HE MADE A TURN INTO OUR STREET AND BED OF THE TRUCK, LITERALLY BECAME TWISTED AND NOT ALIGN WITH THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. HE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. WHEN HE TOOK THE TRUCK DOWN TO THE DEALERS THEY ADVISE HIM THAT BOLTS AND COME LOOSE AND THE WOULD CHARGE 300.00 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR. WE HAVE OWN A LOT OF TRUCKS IN MY LIFE TIME AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO ANY OF THE TRUCK WE OWN. WHAT TYPE OF COMPANY SEES NO DANGER IN THIS. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. AND ALL THEY COULD THINK ABOUT WAS THE CHARGE. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD WANT TO FIND OUT WHY THIS HAPPEN. SINCERELY A VER CONCERN GRANDMOTHER AND SOON TO BE GREATMOTHER. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE REAR SEAL LEAKING OIL FROM AXLE ONTO BRAKES. REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY BY DEALER. *CN

THE SPIDER GEARS WENT OUT ON MY NISSAN TITAN 4X4 AND I DISCOVERED IT IS A WELL KNOWN FAILURE IN THE EARLY 04, 05 AND EARLY 06 TITAN 4X4'S. NISSAN WON'T SELL SPIDER GEARS. YOU HAVE TO BUY THE ENTIRE REAR END/AXLE ASSEMBLY FOR ABOUT $3,000. THEY SHOULD BE REPAIRING ALL THE EARLY TITANS ON RECALL. *CN

I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I PULLED AWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH I THOUGHT I WAS REARENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND THE REAREND WAS POPPING AND GRINDING. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT AND DID NOT SEE ANY FLUID OR SIGNS OF DAMAGE TO THE DRIVELINE. I TRIED TO BACK UP AND PULL FORWARD AND THE REAR WHEELS WERE LOCKED UP. THE VEHICLE STOPPED SO VIOLENTLY WHEN IT HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN GOING ANY FASTER I AM SURE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS. DEALER SAID REPAIR WILL BE TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE REAREND AT A COST OF $3500.00 FOR A USED UNIT. *CN

AFTER DRIVING IN SNOW FOR APPROX. 100 MILES MY FRONT DIFF. BROKE. WAS TOLD THE DRIVETRAIN WAS WAY TO WEAK TO HANDLE A 5.6 V8. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK HOME FROM WORK AND REAR STARTED MAKING NOISES WITHIN A MILE FROM HOME.LUCKILY IT WAS AROUND MIDNIGHT AND NO ONE WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN IT WENT OUT AS I TURNED ONTO MY ROAD AND INTO THE DRIVEWAY WHERE THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT OUT OF TRUCK.I HAD TO ENGAGE THE 4X4 TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY IN MY DRIVEWAY.I HAVEN'T HAD IT REPAIRED JUST YET DUE TO THE FACT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY.LUCKILY I WASN'T ON THE WAY SOMEWHERE WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER IN THE TRUCK AND IT WENT OUT BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD RESULT. THE REAR END FAILURES ARE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HEARD A CLANKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, AT TIMES FROM A STANDING STILL POSITION THE VEHICLE AS YOU TRY TO GO WILL SLIP AND YOU WILL HEAR CLANKING NOISES FROM THE REAR AND THE VEHICLE WILL JERK. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A DEFECTIVE DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH HE NOTICED THAT THE REAR WHEELS SUDDENLY LOCKED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT AND REAR AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

COMPLETE REAR END FAILURE OF MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN WHILE DRIVING 45MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. FAILURE HAPPENED AT 62500 MILES AND IS THE FIRST TIME TO MY KNOWLEDGE (PRE-OWNED). REAREND IS BEING REPLACED BY NISSAN SERVICE CENTER AT A COST OF $3500 THAT HAS TO BE PAID PERSONALLY AS THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY 2500 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY AND IT APPEARS DOUBTFUL THAT NISSAN WILL ASSIST OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE SEVERE DESIGN FLAW.*CW

2005 NISSAN TITAN, DRIVING ON GRAVEL ROAD IN 4WD AND I HAD GOTTEN STUCK IN 1 INCH OF SNOW. I REALIZED THAT MY 4WD WAS NOT WORKING ANY LONGER. I EXITED MY TRUCK AND GOT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL JUST IN TIME TO STOP ON COMING TRAFFIC THAT COULD OF STRUCK MY TRUCK AND CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY TO ME AND MY PASSENGER. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT, AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE A NEW OR USED FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FOR THE TRUCK. THE WHOLE DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS REPLACED AND HERE I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE PART BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY. I HAVE NOTICED ON SEVERAL THREADS AND FORUMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE US. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED, BY THE MANUFACTURER IN MY OPINION. *TR

ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T HAD AN "INCIDENT" YET, I WORRY ABOUT IT EVERYDAY. MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN HAS THE WORST BRAKES THAT I'VE EVER HAD IN A VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR ON EVERY STOP. SOMETIMES WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED IT "SKIPS" AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES RELEASE THEN GRAB AGAIN. THIS TRUCK WAS MEANT TO TOW UP TO 9,000LBS, BUT WHEN I TOWED ABOUT 4,000 AND TRIED TO STOP, I ALMOST RAN INTO SOMEONE. THE BRAKES ARE HORRIBLE WITHOUT TOWING AND BEYOND ACCEPTABLE TOWING ANY WEIGHT. SINCE THAT HAPPENED, I HAVE YET TO TOW ANYTHING ELSE, I'M AFRAID THE TRUCK WON'T STOP. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE BRAKES AREN'T "WHAT THEY SHOULD BE" BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO BECAUSE NISSAN HASN'T ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM. I'M HOPING THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD BE LOCKED INTO. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE NISSAN ARMADA HAS THE SAME BRAKES AND THE SAME PROBLEMS. THANK YOU AS FAR AS THE INCIDENT DATE, I'M JUST USING THE FIRST DATE THAT I CAN REMEMBER REALIZING THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. CONTACT STATED HE WAS DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN HE HEARD A NOISE AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN VIBRATING EXCESSIVELY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. THE VEHICLE IS STILL BEING DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT HAS NOT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

HAVE A NISSAN 4X4 TITAN. BOUGHT IT NEW. FOR THE SECOND TIME THE REAR END LOCKED UP BREAKING THE DRIVE SHAFT. GOOD THING THIS HAPPENED AT MINIMAL SPEED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NISSAN REPAIRED THE FIRST TIME DUE TO OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY SHOULD BE LIABLE BECAUSE THEY MUST KNOW THE REPAIR THEY DO WILL FAIL AGAIN. THESE VEHICLES WITH ALL THEIR PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD IN MY OPINION. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4WD WITH 57660 MILES. WHILE TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, I EXPERIENCED A REAR END FAILURE. THE ROADS WERE WET FROM RAIN. WHEN I STARTED OFF IN A RIGHT TURN FROM THE STOPLIGHT, THE REAR END STARTED TO CLUNK AND THE TRUCK WAS JERKY. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM CORRECTED ITSELF, BUT UPON RE-ACCELERATING THE SAME THING OCCURRED. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR ONCE AGAIN AND LET THE VEHICLE COAST DOWN THE HILL, STILL CLUNKING AND JERKING. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS IN A STRAIGHT POSITION, THE REAR END JERKED REALLY HARD, AND THEN I CONTINUED ABOUT A 1/2 MILE TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRUCK WAS MOVED FROM THE SERVICE BAY TO A PARKING SPACE AND THE ATTENDANT NOTICED THAT THE REAR END WAS JERKING AND CLUNKING IN A TURNING POSITION. HE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED THE SERVICE ADVISER. UPON INSPECTION BY THE DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SPIDER GEARS WERE DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE ENTIRE REAR END HOUSING SHOULD BE REPLACED RATHER THAN TRYING TO REPLACE THE INTERNAL MECHANISMS. THE REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY WITH 2340 MILES LEFT ON THE WARRANTY. THE FACTORY WARRANTIES THE NEW REAR END HOUSING FOR A PERIOD OF 12 MONTHS OR 12000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED, AND HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF-ROAD. THERE WAS NO PRIOR INDICATION THAT A PROBLEM EXISTED UNTIL THE VERY MOMENT IT STARED TO FAIL ON THIS DAY.

2005 NISSAN TITAN. DOOR LATCH FAILURE DURING COLD WEATHER BELOW FREEZING. LIVE IN SMALLWOOD NY, SO TIME PERIOD OF THIS WEATHER IS OCTOBER - APRIL. LOCKED OUT OF TRUCK WHILE CHILDREN IN CAR AND UNABLE TO GET TO THEM BECAUSE ALL DOORS WERE FROZEN. KEEP IN MIND I HAVE NOT WASHED THE TRUCK IN SEVERAL MONTHS. THERE IS A NISSAN TSB THAT THEY WILL REPLACE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM IF VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN USA: TBNS BX56AA / TSB 05118. HOWEVER IF VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY QUOTED ME AT $400+ PER DOOR X'S 4 DOORS. THIS IS UNREASONABLE AND A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MOST OF THE COUNTRY THAT EXPERIENCES WEATHER BELOW 32DEGREES F. IT IS A KNOWN FAILURE THAT NISSAN USA KNOWS ABOUT. THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATED RECALL. BELOW ARE LINKS TO A NISSAN TITAN ONLINE FORUM WITH MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. FROZEN DOOR LATCH PROBLEM NOT SOLVED...PLEASE ADVISE WINTER PROBLEMS WITH TITAN FROM USA FROZEN DOOR HANDLES FROZEN DOORS WONT CLOSE WHEN COLD!! NISSAN NEW TSB FOR THE FROZEN DOOR HANDLES! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND AS I WENT AROUND A TURN I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND THEN A THUMPING NOISE. THE TRUCK MADE THE THUMPING NOISE EVERY TIME THAT I WENT AROUND A CORNER. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SPIDER GEARS BLEW OUT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON TITANS AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY NISSAN. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAK - BOTH SIDES. *TR

I TOOK TRUCK TO THE DEALER,THEY STATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, DEALER WANTED $3500 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR END ! IF SO MANY TRUCKS MADE BY NISSAN ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WHY HAVE YOU NOT MADE THEM RECALL THIS ITEM. THE REAR END IN THIS TRUCK IS DANGEROUS, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY IT WILL GET SOMEONE HURT OR KILLED . *TR

3 YEARS AGO I BOUGHT A 2005 NISSAN TITAN WITH 350 MILES ON IT, SO A YEAR LATER A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CAME ON, THE WARRANTY PAID FOR IT, NOW 2 YEARS LATER, I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REAR PROBLEM, AND SOME MECHANICS THAT I HAVE TALKED TO, SAID THAT I VE BEEN LUCKY I HAVEN'T CRUSHED BECAUSE THAT KIND A PROBLEM ITS TOO DANGEROUS IN A TRUCK, IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS DAMAGE TO MY PERSON OR SOMEONE ELSE. *TR
