2005 Nissan Titan complaints

2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X2 SE. VEHICLE CAME WITH 2 MARONI LABELS SAME VIN NUMBER WITH DIFFERENT DEALER ADDRESSES DIFFERENT CODES, AND THE ONE HE PURCHASED DOESN'T MATCH NISSAN RECORDS. *TA

THERE IS A LEAK IN THE MANIFOLD THAT CAUSES EXHAUST TO LEAK INTO THE DRIVERS AREA OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY WHEN INCIDENT HAPPENED AND WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS OF THIS LEAK. *TR

FRONT AXLE POPPED OUT, CAUSING FLUIDS TO DRAIN. DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK STALLED AND LOST ALL POWER. AFTER GETTING TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY, THE TRUCK STILL HAD BATTERY POWER AND WANTED TO CRANK TO START BUT ACTED LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING GAS. AFTER CALLING AROUND WE DETERMINED THRU A NISSAN SERVICE ADVISOR THAT WE SHOULD TRY FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS, EVEN THOUGH I WAS TELLING HIM IT READ BETWEEN A QUARTER AND HALF A TANK. AFTER PUTTING IN 5 GALLONS AND TURNING THE KEY AND CRANKING IT A FEW SECONDS, IT STARTED RIGHT UP. IT HAS DONE THIS AT VARIOUS TIMES SINCE THIS FIRST OCCURRENCE AND CONTINUES TO VARY. I NOW HAVE TO KEEP NO LESS THAN HALF A TANK OF GAS AT ALL TIMES OR I WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND HAVE TO PULL OFF. NISSAN HAS A VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 2005-2009 ARMADA AND TITAN FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY, CAMPAIGN ID#R1010 & NHTSA#10V-074, BUT SAY THAT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN. I HAVE TRIED REPEATEDLY TO ASK NISSAN HOW THIS SAFETY CAMPAIGN DOES NOT AFFECT MY VEHICLE IF IT TOO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AS I'VE BEEN TOLD ITS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WHICH IS WHAT THIS RECALL CAMPAIGN COVERS. *TR

THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WHICH IT DOCUMENTED ON MANY ONLINE NISSAN TITAN / ARMADA FORUMS. THE FRONT AXLE HAS SEPARATED FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING CAUSING LOSS OF GEAR FLUID AND LACK OF DRIVEABILITY. *TR

FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HAS FAILED, SEVER CRACKING IN THE HOUSING. LOUD WHINE/GRUMBLE IS HEARD WHEN IN BOTH TWO WHEEL DRIVE AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. ALL LUBRICANTS HAVE BEEN SERVICED UNDER MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDATIONS. AFTER REVIEWING ONLINE, I SEE THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM FOR NISSAN TITANS. *TR

MY TRUCK STOPPED ONE SUNDAY I WAS SITTING AT THE RED LIGHT. I TRIED TO START IT BUT IT WOULDN'T START SO I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. ON MONDAY MORNING I GET A CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY TOLD ME MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF GAS. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD A LITTLE BIT OVER A QUARTER TANK OF GAS IN IT. HE TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK AFTER A COMPLETE CHECK. THEY CALLED BACK AND TOLD ME THAT MY TRUCK NEEDED A FUEL SENDER UNIT AND A FUEL RING, I TOLD THEM TO GO AHEAD AND REPAIR IT. ON TUESDAY I WENT AND PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT MY FUEL LEVELING SENSOR SHORTED OUT. I PAID A TOTAL OF 515.88 PLUS 65.00 FOR TOWING ON SOMETHING THAT HAD A RECALL ON IT. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY KNEW IT WAS UNDER RECALL OR NOT BUT I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF I PAID FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I HAVE MY RECEIPTS AND IT SHOWS THE DATES OF THE INCIDENT CAME AFTER THE RECALL DATES. *TR

I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER HOSES WERE LEAKING OIL ONTO THE GROUND. IF HOSE WERE TO BURST, THIS WOULD CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE OR ACCIDENT. NISSAN HAS A SEALED TRANSMISSION THAT DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO CHECK TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL. MUST BE TAKEN TO DEALER TO CHECK LEVEL. *TR

DEFECTIVE REAR AXLE/DIFFERENTIAL. I NOTICED THAT OIL WAS LEAKING AT BOTH HUBS OF THE REAR AXLE. DEALER SAID THAT ENTIRE REAR AXLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE DIFFERENTIAL HAS BEEN MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDATIONS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS THE AXLE COULD LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER INSPECTING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, AXLE FLUID WAS DISCOVERED LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE AXLE SEAL HAD RUPTURED CAUSING THE FLUID TO LEAK OUT. THE AXLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT AND ACCELERATING FROM 0-30MPH MY REAR END MADE A TERRIBLE BANGING NOISE AND I LOST POWER TO THE DRIVETRAIN. I SPENT $4500 TO REPLACE THE REAR END. THE ENTIRE REAR DIFFERENTIAL EXPLODED. I HAVE NEVER MISUSED THIS TRUCK AND ONLY TOW MY BOAT ABOUT 30 MILES 5-6 TIMES A YEAR. ALL FLUIDS ARE PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND WERE AT APPROPRIATE LEVELS WHEN THE SHOP REPAIRED. IN RESEARCHING ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT THE NISSAN TITAN HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IN A 2005 HAVING HIGH FAILURE RATES. *TR

REAR END GAVE OUT AT 5 MPH. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND THEN MY 3.6 FINAL DRIVELINE REAR END GAVE ME PROBLEMS SO FAR I HAVE SPENT OVER 4500.00 TO REPAIR TRANSMISSION AND SOLVE LEAKS TO MY VEHICLE NOW DEALER TELLS ME I NEED TO SPEND 3000.00 TO FIX THEIR DEFECT. *TR

DRIVER SIDE AXLE SHAFT POP OUT OF FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL NO LONGER WORKS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE CONTACT HEARD THE SOUND COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. THE DEALER STATED THAT TWO MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 177,100.

I WAS RIDING DOWN I25 WHEN MY TRUCK ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY QUIT. AT 75 MPH IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO CHANGE LANES AND PULL OVER TO THE MEDIAN WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED THAT I STILL HAD 1/4 TANK OF GAS. I TRIED REPEATEDLY TO START THE TRUCK WITHOUT SUCCESS. AFTER SCRATCHING MY HEAD FOR A WHILE I CALLED MY SON TO BRING ME SOME GAS. AFTER ADDING GAS THE TRUCK STARTED UP AFTER A FEW TURNS OF THE IGNITION. NOT KNOWING WHAT THE HECK HAD HAPPENED I CONTINUED DRIVING THE TRUCK. UNFORTUNATELY I RAN OUT OF GAS AGAIN SOME WEEK LATER, THIS TIME IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THE SPEED ISSUE WAS NOT QUITE AS SEVERE. SINCE THAT TIME I'VE IGNORED MY FUEL GAUGE AND DETERMINED WHEN TO REFUEL BY MILEAGE. THIS IS REALLY AGGRAVATING BECAUSE THERE IS A RECALL ON TITAN FUEL SENDERS FOR MODEL YEAR 2005. HOWEVER NISSAN IS TELLING ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED FUMES FROM THE EXHAUST IN THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE WAS 98,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BACK IN MAY OF 2011 I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN TITAN TRUCK DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY TWO GIRLS 6 & 7 YEAR OLD WHEN I HEARD THE TRUCK MAKING A NOISE OUT OF THE REAR .I SLOW DOWN AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD NOT KNOWING WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO MY HOME AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I TOOK MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN VINELAND NEW JERSEY THEY STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK WAS THE REAR AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY STATED THAT THE REPAIR COST FOR THE WHOLE REAR WAS $3,800 IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED. THEY STATED THAT MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 2 MONTHS EVEN THOUGH I ONLY HAD 38,836 MILES ON IT. I ASKED WHY COULDN'T THE PUMPKIN IN THE REAR BE FIXED AND NISSAN STATED THEY DO NOT JUST FIX THE PUMPKIN. THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR IN THE TRUCK COSTING ME $3,800.00. I CALLED [XXX] AND SPOKE TO [XXX]. [XXX] REP STATED THAT HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, PART (TT913A582) [XXX] POSI. [XXX] STATED TO ME THAT THEY MAKE THIS REAR FOR NISSAN. [XXX] STATED THAT NISSAN ENGINEERS, ENGINEER PART AND THEY ONLY MAKE IT FOR THEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL SHOP TO BE REPAIRED WHICH STATED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD COST ME $1,358.90. THE AUTO REPAIR CENTER THAT I TOOK MY NISSAN TITIAN TO, STATED THAT THERE WAS MANY MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE REARS IN THE NISSAN TITANS STARTING FROM 2005 TO 2010. IT WAS ACTUALLY BEING REPORTED ONLINE SEARCH. AS I LOOKED ONLINE I COULD SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE NISSAN TITAN

NISSAN REPLACED THE ECU RELAY AND FRONT FAN THEY INSTALLED A JUMPER FUSE INTO THE IPDM AND NOW VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING NOW THE VEHICLE WONT EVEN TURN OVER. THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED NOW CHARGED WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION I GET ZERO RESPONSE FROM THE STARTER AS IF THE IPDM WAS BLOWN. THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING LIKE 10 - 20 WITHIN A 5 MI TRIP TO GET BACK HOME. *TR

EXHAUST FUMES IN CABIN DUE TO CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. I ONLY USE THE TRUCK FOR FAMILY TRIPS, AND ON THE LAST TRIP I NOTICES A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE, ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD, I ALSO NOTICED EXHAUST FUMES IN THE CABIN WHEN THE TRUCK WAS AT A LIGHT OR A LONG STOP SIGN. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THIS TRUCK AND AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN TITANS BUT THE WORST PART IS THAT THE REPLACEMENTS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, SO NOW I CAN NOT USE THIS VEHICLE. LOOKING TO SEE WHAT IS THE BEST PERMANENT SOLUTION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY TRUCK SHUT OFF. GAS TANK READ QUARTER OF A TANK BUT ENGINE SHUT OFF-CAR WAS OUT OF GAS. *TR

REAR PASSENGER SIDE AXLE BEGAN TO LEAK AND FLUID WENT ONTO BRAKES. *TR

I FIRST FELT AND HEARD A LOUD CLANKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT. APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS LATER I FELT IT AGAIN WHILE ENTERING THE ON RAMP TO A FREEWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE REAR END OF MY TRUCK AND FOUND NO VISIBLE DAMAGE OR LEAKING OF FLUIDS. I GOT BACK IN MY TRUCK AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND IMMEDIATELY FELT AND HEARD THE CLANKING NOISE AGAIN. I THEN DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHICH FORTUNATELY WAS ONLY TWO MILES AWAY. THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID AN INSPECTION AND DETERMINE THE GEARS IN DIFFERENTIAL WERE BINDING. THE NISSAN TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHY A DIFFERENTIAL WITH ONLY 53,000 MILES THAT WAS MAINTAINED AS WELL AS MINE WAS WOULD FAIL. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS PERFORMED ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON MY TRUCK AND ARE WELL AWARE OF HOW WELL ITS MAINTAINED. THEY SUGGESTED ITS A DEFECT AND RECOMMENDED I SPEAK WITH NISSAN USA DIRECTLY IN HOPES OF THEM COVERING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE DIFFERENTIAL ON MY TRUCK. I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM NISSAN USA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE DEFECTIVE DIFFERENTIAL ITS NOT GOING TO BE COVERED. THE WORST PART IS THAT THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE DIFFERENTIAL. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR AXLE. THIS IS A COST OF (AXLE) $3500.00 +( LABOR) $1000.00. LETS NOT FORGET TAXES ALSO. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE DEFECTIVE DIFFERENTIALS AND IS COUNTING ON PEOPLE TO NOT MAKE THE EFFORT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THERE WAS A CONSISTENT TICKING NOISE FROM DRIVE SHAFT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN FOR INSPECTION OR DIAGNOSIS. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

I STARTED TO FEEL A THUD IN THE REAR AXLE AS I TURNED THE VEHICLE. IF FELT LIKE THE AXLE WAS BINDING UP. ULTIMATELY, I TOOK IT TO NISSAN WHO SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE AXLE FOR $3000. SINCE THIS WAS WAY TO EXPENSIVE FOR A KNOW DEFECT, I HAD THE LOCKER REPLACED AT FOUR WHEEL PARTS. IT COST NEARLY $2500 WHEN ALL SAID AND DONE. *TR

STARTED HAVING OVER HEATING ISSUES IN 8/2012. EVENTUALLY HAD RADIATOR COMPLETELY REPLACED IN 2/14. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AROUND SAME TIME. ON 3/26/14, I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65MPH WHEN I LOST USE OF THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL, BARELY AVOIDING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. TODAY FOUND OUT THERE IS A DEFECT WITH NISSAN RADIATORS OVER HEATING AND CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION, DETERIORATING THE GEARS OVER TIME. SPENT AROUND $1,000.00 GETTING THE RADIATOR REPLACED UNAWARE OF THIS FACTORY DEFECT. NOW I AM WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING VEHICLE AND I THINK LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY, MY TITAN RAN OUT OF GAS WHILE THE GAUGE SHOWED 1/4 TANK, STRANDING MYSELF, MY PREGNANT WIFE AND 2YR OLD DAUGHTER IN A DANGEROUS AREA, AND IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET. I HAD TO GET OUT AND PUSH THE TRUCK TO A PARKING LOT. I THEN WALKED TWO MILES TO GET 2 GALLONS OF GAS, FORCED TO LEAVE MY FAMILY WITH THE STRANDED TRUCK(MY WIFE CAN'T WALK THAT FAR RIGHT NOW). I RETURNED, PUT THE 2 GALLONS IN THE TANK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I CALLED THE DEALER, WHICH GAVE ME A LOUSY EXCUSE AS TO WHY THOUSANDS OF THESE TRUCKS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS SAME ISSUE, EXCEPT MINE. THEY OFFERED TO GIVE ME A GREAT DEAL. 600 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR WHEN THE PART COSTS $77. THEN JUST LAST WEEK THE TRUCK RAN OUT OF GAS, THIS TIME ON THE FREEWAY, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH A SEMI TRUCK, WHILE SHOWING ALMOST 1/2 TANK. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THOUSANDS OF TITAN OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOT BEING COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I CONTACTED THE BAR AND AFTER THEIR INVESTIGATION, THE DEALER DISCLOSED THAT ALL TITANS WERE MADE WITH THE DEFECTIVE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, AND THAT THE DEALER WAS REPLACING THESE PARTS EVERY DAY, NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. TO SUM IT UP, I SPENT GOOD MONEY FOR A TRUCK THAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, WHICH IT IS NOT. I'M VERY SERIOUS I WAS ALMOST KILLED WHEN IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE OWNED A LOT OF VEHICLES, AND HAVE NEVER EVER HEARD OF SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE THAT ISN'T ADDRE

OIL LEAKING ON LEFT REAR WHEEL CAUSE BY A BAD SEAL. TRUCK HAVE BEEN REPAIRED TWICE BY A LOCAL LICENSED SHOP, . THE PROBLEM PERSIST. IT MAY BE CAUSE BY A BAD DIFFERENTIAL. LET ME KNOW IF IS ANY RECALLS FROM FACTORY. OR ANY ON GOING INVESTIGATION. *TR

WHILE DOING A LIQUIDS CHECK I NOTICED THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS LOW. I ADDED DISTILLED WATER TO THE RADIATOR AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH TO LOOK FOR A LEAK. I FOUND COOLANT LEAKING FROM THE TRANSMISSION LINE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR. AS I BACKED INTO MY GARAGE, I HEARD THE COOLANT RESERVOIR PRESSURIZE AND START TO OVERFLOW. THE RESERVOIR WAS FILLED WITH TRANNY FLUID. I DRAINED THE TRANSMISSION AND FOUND COOLANT IN THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MILES I DROVE THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION BUT I'M AFRAID THE TRANSMISSION IS DAMAGED AND I CAN'T GET THE COOLANT COMPLETELY OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE DRAINED AND FILLED IT TWICE SO FAR AND STILL HAVE SIGNS OF COOLANT. I TALKED TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I KEEP DRAINING AND FLUSHING UNTIL THE TRANNY FLUID COMES OUT THE SAME COLOR AS IT WENT IN. *TR

THE DOOR HANDLES AND LOCKS BOTH FAIL TO WORK WHEN TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW AROUND 20 DEGREES. SOMETIMES THEY SIMPLY WONT OPEN, AND OTHER TIMES THEY WILL OPEN BUT WON'T LATCH WHEN THE DOOR SHUTS. THE DILEMMA IS USUALLY SIMPLY FRUSTRATING, HOWEVER SOMETIMES THEY SLIGHTLY LATCH AND APPEAR TO BE SHUT AND FULLY LATCHED, BUT THEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION THE DOOR WILL FLING OPEN ON A TURN. *TR

I RAN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THE FUEL GAUGE STATED I HAD MORE THAN A 1/4 OF A TANK OF FUEL LEFT. AFTER RESEARCHING AND DISCOVERING NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 10V074000 MANY 2005 NISSAN TITANS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS I ENCOUNTERED. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND DISCUSSED THIS WITH THEM. AFTER GIVING THEM MY VIN, THEY STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN FOR FALSE FUEL GAUGE READINGS OR OTHER ISSUES REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM IN MY VEHICLE. "RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC AND YOURS IS NOT LISTED." WELL, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE'S FUEL GAUGE AS WELL. I WOULD LIKE INFORMATION HOW TO GET MY VEHICLE'S VIN ADDED TO THE LIST OF MALFUNCTIONING FUEL GAUGE ISSUES AND HAVE IT REPLACED BY THE DEALER AS A WARRANTY ITEM, AS OTHERS HAVE DONE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH WHEN WITHOUT NOTICE, I RAN OUT OF GAS. WHEN MY VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS I WAS UNABLE TO USE MY BRAKES, STEERING WAS DIFFICULT AND IF THERE WAS TRAFFIC AHEAD I WOULD OF SURLY CRASHED. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED AND DISPLAYED A QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,320.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED A LOUD POP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS LEAKING JUST AS MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. I DID NOT NOTICE A NOISE ON MINE UNTIL I WENT IN TO A MUFFLER SHOP TO GET A PRICE ON GETTING A DUAL EXHAUST INSTALLED AND THEY SHOWED ME THAT IT WAS CRACKED. AS A RESULT, I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PROBLEM BEGAN, BUT I CAN HEAR IT CONSTANTLY NOW. I HAVE SINCE, DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH OVER THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF TITAN OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW OLD OR NEW THE TITAN IS, OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. SOME ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, SO THEY ARE GETTING A FREE REPAIR, BUT IF IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE, WHY HASN'T A RECALL ALREADY BEEN ISSUED? I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY MUFFLER SHOP TECH'S THAT THE "CAST" THAT NISSAN USED WAS A BAD "CAST" AND THEY HAVE SINCE FIXED IT. IF THE AFTERMARKET MUFFLER TECH KNOWS, THAN NISSAN CERTAINLY SHOULD...OR ELSE THEY SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF IT BY A RECALL BEING ISSUED. THANK YOU. *TR

RIGHT EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACK. EVERY FORUM ON TITAN'S COMPLAIN HOW THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACK AND LEAK WELL BEFORE THEIR TIME AND ALL BEEN UNDER 100K. IT TELLS ME NISSAN DOES A POOR JOB MAKING THAT PART AND IT'S A COSTLY JOB FOR CUSTOMERS TO REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. *TR

WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES TO START STOPPING, IT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT WAS GRABBING AND I REALLY HAD TO STAND ON THE PEDAL TO STOP BEFORE I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I GOT HOME, I LOOKED AT ALL MY BRAKES AND FOUND THAT THE REAR AXLE SEAL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS LEAKING. GREASE/OIL WAS ALL OVER THE REAR BRAKES. I HAVE HAD THE SEAL REPLACED 3 TIMES NOW. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE DEALER WANTS $1800 TO DO IT AGAIN!! WE NEED A RECALL. *TR

I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF SOME SORT OF RECALL ON THE NISSAN TITAN PICK UP CAN BE LOOKED INTO REGARDING A REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK. IT APPEARS THAT MANY OF THE VEHICLE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING A SIMILAR PROBLEM COSTING CONSUMERS NEARLY $300-$500 IN REAR/REPLACEMENT OF A $15 SEAL. DUE TO THE INTRICATE REPAIR, MANY DO IT YOURSELFERS ARE UNABLE TO PERFORM THIS REPAIR. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH. HAD TO HAVE COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF REAR END AT COST OF $3000. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF SAME ISSUE. APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. NISSAN DOES NOT ALLOW REPLACEMENT OF PARTS ONLY REPLACEMENT OF WHOLE REAR END UNIT. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION WON'T GO INTO THE LOWER GEARS AND IT REVS AT A HIGH RPM AND WON'T SHIFT. I HAVE SEEN WHERE THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION DUE TO A COOLANT THAT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND HE SAYS THERE IS HELP OUT THERE FOR FRONTIER AND SOME OTHERS BUT THE TITAN ISN'T PROTECTED. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THERE ARE A LOT OF TITAN OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING/HAD THIS TROUBLE THAT HAVE THE SAME MODEL AS MYSELF. *TR
