2005 Nissan Titan complaints

REAR AXEL SEAL IS LEAKING FOR THE THIRD TIME, WHICH CAN COMPROMISE THE REAR BRAKES WITH AXEL FLUID. NISSAN MADE THE FIRST REPAIR AT 30,000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY. I PAID FOR PARTS AND MADE REPAIRS MYSELF THE SECOND TIME. NOW AT THE THIRD I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AND THEY HAVE REFUSED, WITH NO EXPLANATION, TO HELP WITH THIS REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH THEY ISSUED AN INTERNAL SERVICE BULLETIN IN 2010, TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE AXEL WITH BEARING AND SEAL. SO NISSAN IS AWARE THAT THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE EARLY MODEL TITANS. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE BEFORE THEY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

LEFT SIDE REAR WHEEL, AXLE SEAL LEAKING ONTO BRAKE DISC. DIAGNOSED WHEN I HAD NEW TIRES INSTALLED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK HOME FROM WORK,I NOTICED THE SOUND OF THE EXHAUST BECAME PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER. I PARKED THE TRUCK FOR THE NIGHT. PRIOR TO LEAVING THE NEXT MORNING I TRIED TO LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE INCREASED NOISE. HOWEVER, I NOTICED AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE THE NOISED WOULD DECREASE. THEREFORE, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. HE TOLD ME THAT THE HEADER ON ONE SIDE IS CRACKED AND THE OTHER HEADER ON THE OTHER-SIDE SHOWS SIGNS OF STRESS. ALSO, HE EXPLAINED THIS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN TITAN AND I MIGHT WANT TO EXPLORE MY REPAIR OPTION WITH THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, AFTER DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE NOTORIOUS ISSUE AND THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. UPON HEARING THIS, I DECIDE I WOULD LODGE MY COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE HERE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF RADIATOR FLUID INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. HE ALSO NOTICED A CONSTANT LEAK OF FLUID FROM THE RADIATOR WHICH FORMED A LARGE PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THREE TIMES WHERE THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED EACH TIME. MOST RECENT THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE.

THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE PADS FELL OF THE SHOES INSIDE THE REAR DISK DRUM, AND WEDGED INSIDE CAUSING THE REAR TIRE TO LOCKUP, FOR A SECOND, AND CAUSE THE TRUCK TO JERK AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHAUSTS MANIFOLD CRACKED DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIAL AND CAUSED THE FUMES TO PENETRATE THE VEHICLE INTERIOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL TICKING SOUND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TICKING SOUND WOULD CEASE AFTER THE ENGINE BECAME WARM. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER DID NOT STATE WHAT CAUSED THE MANIFOLD TO CRACK. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT STARTED SPUTTERING AND RAN OUT OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THERE WAS A RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER: STORAGE: FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER HAVING THE RECALL REPAIRS PERFORMED, STRONG FUMES CONTINUED TO EMIT IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE PASS 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER IN THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITHIN THE WEEK TO REPAIR THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE FUEL LEVEL SENDER AND THE ECM RELAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

PRIOR TO LEAVING FOR A TRIP I STOPED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM INFORMED ME THAT THE EXHAUST WAS BROKEN DUE TO RUST I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH DRIVING IT TO NC FROM CT ON THE WAY BACK FROM NC THE TRAILER LIGHTS FAILED AND I STARTED RECEIVING SLIP ABS BRAKE AND 4WD LIGHTS ON MY DASH. I RETURN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE EXHAUST HAD MELTED THE WIRING HARNESS WHERE IT HAD BROKE/RUSTED. I SPOKE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WHERE THE WIRING HARNESS WOULD MELT WHEN THE EXHAUST BRAKES/RUSTS... I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THEY HAD SEEN SOME WHERE THE WHOLE TAIL LAMP HAD MELTED. *TR

THE VEHICLE BRAKING BEGAN TO DETERIORATE SO I CHECKED EACH WHEEL, FRONT AND BACK. WHILE INSPECTING THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS I NOTICED OIL ON BOTH. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I NOTICED THAT THE REAR AXLE SEAL ON BOTH SIDES WAS LEAKING OIL AND IT HAD GOTTEN ON THE ROTORS AND PADS. I REPLACED BOTH ROTORS AND ALL PADS ON THE REAR, AND INSPECTED THE REAR AXLE VENT WHICH I FOUND PLUGGED. I INSTALLED A NEW VENT BUT THE REAR AXLE SEALS ARE STILL LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. IN DOING RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM I FOUND IT TO BE COMMON ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TRAVELING AT 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS. THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS BETWEEN 1/4 AND 1/8 OF A TANK REMAINING AND THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT HAD NOT COME ON. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. UPON ADDING 1.5 GALLONS OF FUEL THE VEHICLE RE-STARTED ON THE FIRST TRY SO IT WAS DEFINITELY OUT OF GAS. NISSAN HAS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY ISSUE BUT I WAS TOLD IT DOES NOT COVER MY VIN# ALTHOUGH IT IS FOR SOME VEHICLES OF MY MAKE AND MODEL YEAR. I PAID TO HAVE THE FUEL SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK REPAIRED AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY IMMEDIATELY AND HAS NOT RESURFACED. NISSAN MAY NEED TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL AS MY VEHICLE DEFINITELY EXPERIENCED THE SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSE THAT THE FUEL SENDER UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,000.....UPDATED 10/11/12 *BF UPDATED 10/16/12

REAR DIFFERENTIAL SPIDER GEARS BROKE APART, LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER TO DRIVE TRAIN OR ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG HEARD FROM THE TRANSMISSION AS THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE OVERDRIVE AND THIRD GEARS WOULD NOT OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000. UPDATED 9/13/12 *CN

REAR RIGHT AXLE SEAL BEGAN TO LEAK ON 5/14/12 WAS ABOUT TO GET FIXED -KEPT DIFF FULL- (SECOND TIME HAPPENED)... ON 7/27/12 REAR SPIDER GEARS BROKE CAUSING THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL TO DRAG ACROSS THE PAVEMENT IN A PARKING LOT. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH 04-07 OFFROAD TITANS WITH THE LOCKING REAR DIFF. IF THIS FAILURE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE REAR WHEELS WERE TO HAVE STOPPED MOVING IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. NISSAN HAS SINCE REDESIGNED THE REAR END BUT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

GOT IN MY TRUCK TO GO TO WORK TODAY AND WHILE TURNING RIGHT OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND I WAS GOING NO WHERE. I LET OFF THE GAS AND AS THE MOTOR RPM CAME DOWN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND THE VEHICLE JUMPED FORWARD. CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 200FT AND TURNED AROUND. PARKED THE TRUCK. CHECKED THE FLUID. METAL SHAVINGS AND CHUNKS INSIDE WITH PLENTY OF FLUID. ALSO NOTICED A LEAKING REAR WHEEL SEAL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 78000 MILES ON IT. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE NISSAN. *TR

WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT FELT A BUMP LIKE SOMETHING HAD BEEN RUN OVER.DROVE HOME AND FELT BUMP SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHEN TURNING LEFT ONLY. REMOVED FILL PLUG AND SAW PIECES ON METAL ON DRAIN PLUG MAGNET. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD AXLE HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.VEHICLE GAVE NO WARNING SIGNS AND HAD ALL SCHEDULED SERVICE DONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A READING OF ONE QUARTER OF A TANK BUT WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED WHERE THEY INFORMED THAT THE TITAN SENDER UNIT FUEL GAUGE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

MY TRUCK HAD A WHINE THAT SOUNDED LIKE BRAKES SQUEALING. I HAD THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP CHECK IT OUT AT MY LAST SERVICE AND THE TOLD ME THAT THE REAR BRAKES WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON. SO A FEW MONTHS LATER MY TRUCK SUDDENLY BEGAN TO POP AND LUNGE WHEN TURNING SO I BROUGHT IT IN SAME DAY. $3,600.00 LATER I HAD A NEW REAR END BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE JUST "FAILED". REALLY? NO WARRANTY, NO NOTHING FROM NISSAN. CHECKING THIS SITE (AND OTHERS) THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH TITANS. SINCE THIS IS A (DOT) GOV. SITE HOW ABOUT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A STATE ROUTE WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE INDICATED THERE WAS 1/4 OF A TANK OF FUEL LEFT AND THEN THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING 55 MPH WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND VERY LIMITED RUN OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY HARD TO STOP. LUCKILY I WAS IN A TRUCK AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OF ONTO THE GRASS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, OTHERWISE IT MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE WAS ALREADY AN INCIDENT FILED FOR THIS, BUT WHEN I CALLED SOMEHOW MY VEHICLE WASN'T COVERED, EVEN THOUGH MY SYMPTOMS MATCHED THE NHTSA RECALL 10V07400 EXACTLY. IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AND COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE HAD THE ROAD BEEN BUSIER OR I HADN'T PULLED OFF. I HAD TO WAIT FOR GAS ON A VERY BUSY ROAD WITH VERY LITTLE ROOM BETWEEN MY TRUCK AND OTHER TRAFFIC. I THINK IF MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL IT SHOULD BE EXPANDED SINCE IT WAS THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO AS OTHER NISSAN'S WERE HAVING, AND COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT EVENTUALLY NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT DISPLAYING THE PROPER FUEL LEVEL READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I'VE HAD TWO INCIDENTS WHERE MY TRUCK HAS RUN OUT OF GAS DUE TO THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYING THE WRONG AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON 2005 - 2009 TITANS FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM YET MY VEHICLES VIN HASN'T BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. I'VE CONTACTED TWO LOCAL DEALERS AND THE NISSAN COMPANY DIRECTLY FOR A RESOLUTION BUT I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM MYSELF. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE CONCERNING THIS DISCREPANCY? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH. THE CONTACT STOPPED AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. WHILE ALLOWING ANOTHER PERSON TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE GRINDING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL COMPLETELY FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,920. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE SEAT BELT ANCHORS ON THE REAR SEATS ARE TOO HIGH SINCE THERE ARE NO HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE SEAT BELT; SHORTER PASSENGERS DO NOT USE THE SEAT BELT AT ALL SINCE THE BELT CUTS INTO THEIR NECK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE HEARD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE REPAIRS NEEDED BUT STATED THAT THE NOISE WAS RELATED TO THE SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

ON 7/12/07 NISSAN HAD TO REPLACE BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON THE TRUCK WITH 41,795 MILES ON IT. THESE WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW AGAIN AT 106,000 MILES BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE AGAIN CRACKED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THESE MANIFOLDS ONLY LAST 50-60,000 MILES BEFORE THEY FAIL AND THAT THEY ARE REPLACING TH *TTEM ON ALL THE TRUCKS. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IF I GO TO TITAN TALK WEBSITE THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. SEEMS LIKE A FAULTY PART THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR AXLE WAS LEAKING AND BOTH SEALS WERE BROKEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD BEEN REPAIRED BEFORE UNDER A MANUFACTURER'S VOLUNTARY RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

I LOOKED OUTSIDE AND HAD A PUDDLE OF OIL UNDER THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK. GOT THE TRUCK TO A MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THE FRONT AXLE POPPED OUT OF PLACE. THIS TRUCK IS STOCK, NO LIFTS AND NEVER GOES OFF ROAD. SO THIS HAPPENED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. A FRONT AXLE SHOULD NOT JUST POP OUT OF PLACE. I JUST GOT IT BACK FROM REPLACING THE REAR AXLE AND SEALS AS BOTH WERE LEAKING. ALSO THE REAR SHACKLES ON THE VEHICLE ROTTED OUT. THIS VEHICLE HAS WAY TOO MANY PROBLEMS FOR NISSAN NOT TO BE RECALLING AND FIXING THESE ISSUES. *TR

THE REAR END WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY IN MY 2005 TITAN AT 55K MILES NO CHARGE DUE TO OVAL SHAPED AXLE TUBES CAUSING AXLE SEAL FAILURE. HERE I AM AGAIN 2012 WITH 115K MILES OUT OF WARRANTY BUT ONLY 60K MILES ON THE REAR END THAT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BLOWN AXLE SEALS DUE TO OUT OF ROUND AXLE TUBES. IF YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE THIS ALL THE AXLE OIL CAN LEAK OUT CAUSING SUDDEN REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE WHICH MAY LEAD TO A CRASH OR LOSS OF LIFE. NISSAN WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AFTER THE SEALS WHERE REPLACED IN THE SECOND REAR END AND THE SEALS CONTINUE TO LEAK AFTER REPLACEMENT. NISSAN REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE AND STATED "YOUR TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY" IMO THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THE AXLES LEAKING ALONG WITH THE CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT WERE NUMEROUS REPORTED ALSO. VISIT THE NISSAN FORUMS AND YOU CAN VIEW 44 PAGES OF DIFFERENTIAL ISSUES ON TITAN TALK.COM. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE... *TR

MY REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE SNAPPED PUNCHING A HOLE THOUGH THE TRUCK BED OPENING IT UP LIKE A TUNA CAN WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND NEARLY LOST CONTROL IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WHERE THERE WERE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE WORKING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. DID SOME INVESTIGATING AND IT SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 04-07 TITANS AND AM WONDERING WHY I (OR THE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WHO'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM) WERE NOT INFORMED ABOUT THIS FROM THE FINE FOLKS AT NISSAN BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. I WOULD HAVE PAID TO REPLACE THEM MYSELF HAD I JUST BEEN TOLD.....ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY...SAFETY IS NUMBER ONE IN MY BOOK ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M HAULING AROUND MY 18 MONTH OLD IN SOMETHING THAT THE FACTORY KNOWS HAS A LIFE THREATENING DEFECT AND DOESN'T TELL ANYONE!!!!!!!! SINCERELY PISSED!! *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS MORE COMMON FAILURES THAN ANY I HAVE SEEN. BOTH OF THE REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLES ROTTED OUT. THE REAR AXLE SEALS ARE NOW LEAKING. IN 6 MONTHS I HAVE REPLACED 2 OXYGEN SENSORS AND NOW FOR THE 2ND TIME I AM REPLACING THE EVAP CANISTER CONTROL VALVE. NISSAN SEEMS TO IGNORE ALL OF THESE ISSUES AND HAS REDESIGNED MANY OF THESE PROBLEM AREAS IN NEWER MODELS HOWEVER DOES NOT OWN UP TO FIXING THE ISSUES ON VEHICLES THAT ARE ON THE ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED AND REPAIRED IN THE RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V459000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED PREVIOUSLY UNDER THE RECALL, BUT THE WIRES WERE NOT REROUTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SEIZED SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR SEAL WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 98,000.

DRIVING NORTH ON THE HIGHWAY @ 70MPH, VEHICLE BACKFIRED AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN, NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. MOVED VEHICLE OFF THE HIGHWAY, CRANKED BUT WOULD NOT START. LEFT VEHICLE FOR THE DAY AND RETURNED AND REPLACED A RECALLED (BUT KNOWN GOOD REPLACEMENT) ECM RELAY AND VEHICLE STARTED AND RAN CORRECTLY BUT SHOWED SES LIGHT AND CODE SHOWED P0335 CRK POS SENSOR. THIS VEHICLE HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHILE DRIVING WHICH REPRESENTED A SERIOUS HAZARD TO BOTH THE DRIVER AND SURROUNDING VEHICLES SHOULD THE DRIVER HAS PANICKED IN THIS SITUATION AND HEAVY TRAFFIC. TO DATE THE VEHICLE IS A NISSAN FACILITY AND STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT GREAT EXPENSE AND INCONVENIENCE TO THE OWNER. *TR

IN APRIL 2011 MY REAR AXLE SEALS ON MY NISSAN TITAN WERE LEAKING. I HAD THESE SEALS REPLACED WITH GENUINE NISSAN PARTS. NOT EVEN 11 MONTHS LATER, I WAS COMING HOME FROM CAMPING, AND AT APPROX 45 MPH I HEARD A LOUD POP, AND METAL ON METAL IN MY REAR WHEELS. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND FOUND A MECHANIC WITHIN .2 OF A MILE. HE TOLD ME THAT MY REAR AXLES SEALS FAILED, BLEW OUT THE BEARINGS, AND THE ONLY THING HOLDING MY WHEEL ON WAS THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO NISSAN, AND HAVE A WHOLE NEW REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY INSTALLED ($4000). THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS TO NISSAN ABOUT THESE REAR AXLES FAILING, STARTING WITH THE SEALS....THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS SEEN MANY OF THESE TRUCKS COME IN FOR NEW REAR AXLES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM NISSAN OWNERS AS WELL. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT, BUT WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IF I DIDN'T PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY, MY WHEEL MIGHT HAVE FALLEN OFF (ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC). I'M ASKING FOR SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU. *TR

BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON MY TRUCK HAVE CRACKED. THE SERVICE WRITER AT THE DEALERSHIP COULD HEAR IT BEFORE I EVEN SAID ANYTHING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR NISSAN TITANS. THIS COULD POSSIBLY ALLOW EXHAUST GASES INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A LEAK COMING FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, CAUSING THE ODOR TO ENTER THROUGH THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

IN AUGUST OF 2010 WAS THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND DIED WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN STREET GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. LATER I DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF GAS DESPITE THE FUEL GAUGE BEING AT 1/4 TANK. TODAY, AFTER NEARLY 1 1/2 OF KEEPING MY TRUCK ABOVE 1/4 TANK AND LOGGING MY MILES, THE VEHICLE ENGINE POWER DIED ON ME AND FAILED TO START BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN IT WAS OUT OF FUEL...THIS TIME READING JUST UNDER 1/2 TANK. BOTH SITUATIONS ARE EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND CAUSED UNNECESSARY STRESS. I'VE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ARE AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON THE NISSAN TITAN MODEL TRUCKS BUT CAN NOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT THE OFFICIAL RECALL. IT IS WIDELY KNOWN THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME OF THE NISSAN TITAN MODELS AND SHOULD BE EXTENDED THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE FAILING FUEL SYSTEMS BEFORE MYSELF OR SOMEONE IS FACED WITH EXTREME INJURY. *TR *JS

REAR DIFFERENTIAL COMPLETELY FAILED AT 102,000 MILES. VEHICLE NOT DRIVABLE. DO NOT USE THE VEHICLE OFF ROAD WITH VERY LITTLE TOWING. THIS IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE.NISSAN REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY DEFECT. COST TO REPAIR $3K. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR WAS CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

AS MY HUSBAND JUST GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE THE REAR END COMPLETELY BLEW OUT, PARTS WENT EVERYWHERE. WHEELS LOCKED UP. A GENTLEMAN THAT WAS WALKING BROUGHT ME SOME PARTS THAT SHOT ACROSS THE STREET. THANK GOD I WAS OFF THE INTERSTATE WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH, THE ENDING TO THIS STORY WOULD BE MORE TRAGIC. LONG STORY SHORT, IT WAS THE ENTIRE REAR END. LOOKS LIKE I AM LOOKING AT A $2,000 REPAIR THAT EVIDENTLY NISSAN KNOWS ALL ABOUT WITH THE COMPLAINTS AND IT IS CRAZY THEY HAVE NOT DONE A THING ABOUT IT. I KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS HAPPEN TO VEHICLES, BUT WE HAD NO WARNING OF WHAT JUST TOOK PLACE. *TR

VEHICLE HAS ONLY 49K MILES ON IT AND HAD TO HAVE THE RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THIS TIME OUT OF MY POCKET AS IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. MANY TITAN OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. APPEARS THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IF THE FLUID TOTALLY LEAKED OUT, I AND MANY OTHERS COULD HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THE REAR END FAILURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED SMOKE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN SHE DROVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
