2006 Nissan Titan complaints

2006 NISSAN TITAN LE REAR END STARTED MAKING ROARING NOISE, TOOK IT TO DEALER. TURNED ROTORS,(85% ON THEM) CONTINUED TO MAKE NOISE. DROVE IT FOR SEVERAL WEEKS , IT GOT LOUDER. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER, SERVICE ADVISOR STATED GEARS, AND BEARINGS DEFECTED, REPLACED REAR END UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN LE DRIVERSIDE LEAF SPRING HANGER CRACKED AND BROKE SENDING LEAF INTO BED FLOOR, ALSO MAKING LOAD ON TRAILER SHIFT AND LOST CONTROL. TRAILER CAME UNATTACHED AND FLIPPED, TOTAL LOSS OF TRAILER. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. CAN CAUSE VEHICLE TO LOOSE TRACTION. DID NOT IN MY CASE. GEARS WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT ABOUT 30K MILES. *TR

THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SHACKLE THAT HOLDS THE SPRING TO THE FRAME CRACKED OFF AND SENT THE REAR SPRING UP THROUGH THE BED OF THE PICKUP TRUCK. *TR

11/16/09 CAR (2006 TITAN - CREW CAB) DIED WHILE TURNING OUT OF A STREET OF ON-COMING TRAFFIC. COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY A CAR BUT WASN'T. CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED AFTER A FEW STARTS. 11/17/09 CAR DID NOT START AT ALL; CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT 11/17/09 NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUSPECTED A PROBLEM WITH THE IPDM = INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTOR MODULE- THE PART THAT PROVIDES POWER FOR THE WHOLE VEHICLE TO RUN. SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS INDICATED THAT THE PART IS HARD TO COME BY BECAUSE OF THE BACKLOG IN MANUFACTURING THE PART. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS, IT WAS THE IPDM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WILL TAKE ABOUT 3 WEEKS TO ORDER. AFTER TALKING TO SERVICE REP, THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY HAD SEVERAL CARS THAT WERE WAITING FOR THE PART FOR THEIR CAR. 11/25/09: PART RECEIVED AND CAR WILL BE FIXED BY END OF TODAY AND READY FOR PICK UP. COST OF PART AND LABOR SHOULD NOT BE AT CONSUMER COST BUT AT THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE OF THE INCONVENIENCE THAT THIS HAS CAUSED. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN TITAN 2006 AND HAD TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP 2 TIMES AND NOW I HAVE REAR AXLE LEAKING AND I NOW HAVE 2 CRACKED MANIFOLDS WHICH DEALER TOLD ME IS VERY COMMON ALSO I NEED TO REPLACE THE FLOW FOR HEATING AND COOLING. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THE EXHAUST LEAKING WHICH COULD ONLY BE DONE BY GETTING THE TRUCK VERY HOT WHICH IF I DID I WOULD OF HAD TO DO HEAD GASKETS. WHICH ARE OK. ALSO I HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR IT HAD 2 CRACKS IN WHERE IT IS BOLTED THEY GIVE AND BECAME WEAK. I DON'T ABUSE MY TRUCK I LOVE IT I HAVE NEVER GOT IT HOT I MAINTAIN IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. ALOT OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ARE THE SAME A MINE WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET THIS RESOLVED. CALL ME WE NEED TO BAND TOGETHER AND FIX THIS. *TR

DURING THE LAST TWO MONTHS I HAVE TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE ON MY 2006 TITAN LE. WHEN I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL DEALER, HE INFORM THAT THEY HAVE OTHER TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. BEFORE LONG, THIS SITUATION IS GOING TO KILL SOMEBODY. *TR

THE IPDM RELAY IN MY TRUCK IS MESSED UP, IT BEGAN WITH HAVING A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT CAUSED MY TRUCK TO BASICALLY NOT BE ABLE TO GAIN ANY SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS THE IPDM ISSUE AND THEY WOULD TRY TO FIX IT. OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THEIR TRUCKS SHUT COMPLETELY OFF WHILE RUNNING DOWN THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE IPDM, NISSAN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE HAS NO PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE, AND WILL NOT HELP US OUT. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILED LEAKING OIL ON THE BRAKES. *TR

REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING ONTO BRAKE PADS. *TR

RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL ON 2006 NISSAN TITAN. *TR

THERE WAS NOT A CRASH, BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE LED TO ONE. THE REAR AXLE SEALS LEAK ON ALMOST ALL NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCKS. I'VE HAD MINE REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 75,000 MILES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, OIL FROM THE AXLE COVERS THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS, AFFECTING BRAKING ABILITY. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKED AND NEED REPLACEMENT AFTER 60K MILE. I KNOW OF 4 OTHER TITIAN OWNERS THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BASED ON HOW WIDESPREAD THE AXLE SEAL LEAK IS. *TR

ROUTINE INSPECTION OF REAR AXLE REVEALED AXLE SEAL LEAK ON PASSENGER SIDE. LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 53675 MILES NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL. NISSAN REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WEOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN WITH 31,000 MILES ON IT. THE REAR BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING SNAPPED AT THE BEND AND SENT THE ENTIRE LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY THROUGH THE FLOOR OF MY PICKUP BED. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND WILL BE DROPPING THE TRUCK OFF TOMORROW. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. IT SEEMS THAT THE ORIGINAL SHACKLE WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH FOR NORMAL DRIVING. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL REPLACE THE SHACKLE AND TRUCK BED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS AMERICAN PACIFIC INDUSTRY TIRES, SIZE P265/70/R18 ON A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL TIRES EXCEPT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE ARE OUT OF ROUND. AS A CONSEQUENCE THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVEN IS UNSTABLE. INSTABILITY WHEN DRIVING INCREASES THE RISK FOR VEHICLE CRASH. HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH ASSISTANCE. AS OF CURRENT DATE THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED. HE STILL HAS POSSESSION OF THE TIRES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 500.

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE, LEAKS OIL ONTO REAR BRAKE ROTOR. CAUSING POOR BRAKING. *TR

AXLE SEALS FAILED AT 51,000 THEN AT 53,100 AND 53,300...NISSAN IS REPLACING THE REAR END (WHATEVER PARTS THAT INCLUDES) FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE AT 51, 000 THE WARRANTIED DIFFERENTIAL WOULD NOT WORK WITH THE TRUCK ON THE GROUND BUT WORKED ON THE LIFT...WHAT A POS....AXLE SEALS 7/31,9/4,9/9 WAITING FOR REAR END. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN IS LEAKING AXEL FLUID AT 45,000 MILES. I'M TOLD BY OTHER TITAN OWNERS THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR AXEL. IF NOT, THE TRUCK CAN BECOME UNSTABLE WHILE DRIVING. REPAIR SHOP (WHO DOES NOT DO THIS TYPE OF WORK) STATES THAT THE REAR AXEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

2006 REAR AXLE SEALS MAJOR FAILURE AT 51,000 MILES AND AGAIN LESS THAN 2000 MILES LATER. SAME SEAL. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN, REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING ONTO BRAKE PARTS. *TR

I HAVE OWNED A 2006 NISSAN TITAN SINCE MARCH 17, 2006 AND HAVE HAD A SEVERE REAR AXLE LEAK TWO TIMES IN LESS THAN 32,000 MILES. THE FIRST LEAK WAS DUE TO A FAULTY LEFT SIDE AXLE SEAL AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE LATEST LEAK, WHICH WAS COMMUNICATING DIFFERENTIAL OIL OVER THE ENTIRE UNDERBELLY OF THE TRUCK INCLUDING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND REAR BRAKE ROTORS WAS DETERMINED TO BE A FAULTY PINION SEAL WHICH WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL BE A RECURRING ISSUE THAT MAY HAVE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE OR UNSAFE VEHICLE OPERATION DUE TO OIL REACHING THE BRAKE ROTORS AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. *TR

I NOTICED OIL LEAKING FROM THE TRANSFER CASE. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO SANTA MONICA NISSAN FOR INSPECTION. DEALERSHIP VERIFIED THE TRANSFER CASE, LEFT AND RIGHT REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING. DEALERSHIP IS REPLACING PARTS TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THIS IS AN ONGOING FAILURE FOR ALL YEAR MODEL NISSAN TITANS. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILED: 1. NOTED OIL ON REAR WHEEL. 2. I AM TOLD THAT MANY FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED. 3. AGENCY REPLACED THE PART AT NO COST; VEHICLE WAS IN SHOP 2 DAYS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN AND BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR DRIVE AXLES LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. I HAD THE FIRST PROBLEM HAPPEN AROUND NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. MY RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE AXLE WAS LEAKING SO I REPLACED THE SEAL, SPACER, AND BEARING ON THAT ONE SIDE ONLY. NOW, MY LEFT SIDE AXLE STARTED TO LEAK AROUND APRIL. I STARTED TO NOTICE WHEN MY REAR BRAKES STARTED SMOKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE PARKED SINCE THEN AND IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE SEAL ON IT. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING AT 25K MILES. *TR

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES START DURING NORMAL BRAKING. TRUCK MUST BE STOPPED, PUT IN PARK AND THE IGNITION SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED TO CORRECT BRAKING PROBLEM. THIS PROCESS SOMETIMES HAS TO BE REPEATED 2 TIMES BEFORE THE BRAKES PERFORM CORRECTLY. NISSAN WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED AND THE INTERNAL COMPUTER SHOWS NO SIGN OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

REAR DRIVE AXLE BREATHER VENT LEAKING FLUID. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE. I NOTICED A DRIVER-SIDE REAR SEAL LEAK YESTERDAY (7/29/2009). REAR SEAL IS LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID OVER REAR BRAKES CAUSING HAZARD OF A BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB XE 2X4 WITH APPROXIMATELY 25000 MI. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2/2007 FROM DEALER. VEHICLE HAS NEVER TOWED OR BEEN OFF-ROAD. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE WITH NO ABUSE HAVING A MECHANICAL FAILURE THAT COULD AFFECT A SAFETY FEATURE SUCH AS THE BRAKES. *TR

BOUGHT 2006 NISSAN TITAN IN NOVEMBER 2006. IMMEDIATELY HAD VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. DEALER REFUSED TO CHANGE THE ROTORS. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES. BY 15000 MILES, VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING WAS APPLIED. I HAD TO CHANGE THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS. AT 27000 MILES, THE SAME HAS OCCURRED. AGAIN, DEALER WOULD NOT CHANGED THE ROTORS. THEY TOLD ME HAD I CAME IN EARLIER, THEY WOULD HAVE. THIS IS THE 3RD SET OF FRONT ROTORS. VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY, AND SEEMS OUT OF CONTROL WHEN BRAKING IN TIGHT TURNS, SUCH AS ON/OFF RAMPS OF HIGHWAYS. *TR

FAULTY REAR AXLE SEALS ON A 2006 NISSAN TITAN COULD CAUSE REAR END FAILURE AT SPEED OR LACK OF BRAKING ABILITY OF THE REAR BRAKES. *TR

NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCK- 5 SPOKE WHEEL SPOKE CRACKED. AS THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE CRACK DID WORSEN AND CAUSED INCREASED VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE WHEEL FOR IMPACT DAMAGE, NON WAS OBSERVED. THE 18IN ALLOY WHEEL WAS REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP. NO OTHER WHEEL COMPONENTS, SPOKES HAD ANY DAMAGE. THIS IS A MECHANIC BREAKDOWN OF A TIRE-WHEEL COMPONENT WHICH WILL CAUSE FATALITIES. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN 4WD. LAST YEAR, AFTER A LONG TRIP, I TOOK IT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE, AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE REAR AXEL WAS LEAKING. THIS WAS IN JULY OF 2008, AND THE VEHICLE HAD 48,813 MILES ON IT. I GOT IT FIXED. THEN 11 MONTHS LATER, AGAIN AFTER A LONG TRIP, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS WAS IN JUNE OF 2009, AND THE VEHICLE HAD 63,914 MILES ON IT. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, AND APPARENTLY IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENING TO A LARGE NUMBER OF NISSAN TITAN OWNERS. SOME ARE REPORTING THAT THE OIL IS LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKES, CAUSING THEM TO FAIL. I HAVE NOT NOTICED THIS YET, BUT EACH TIME I CAUGHT MY LEAK EARLY. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THE 2008 TITAN HAS A NEW REAR AXEL DESIGN THAT HAS ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY, NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY ADDRESSED THE ISSUE IN THE LATER MODELS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AND NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE EARLIER MODELS TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING. SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON AMONG TITAN OWNERS. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN THIS AVENUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PHONE NUMBERS THEY GAVE ME ON MY RECALL NOTICE WENT NO WHERE. IT SEEMED THE 2 NUMBERS I DID CALL WERE NO HELP SO I AM RESORTING TO THE INTERNET PROCESS THEY OFFERED. IN MY NOTIFICATION IT STATES THAT THE NISSAN TITAN/ARMADA'S - 2005-2006 MODELS - THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER FAN MOTOR HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS, THAT INADEQUATE WATER DRAINAGE ALLOWS MOISTURE TO BUILD-UP LEADING TO INCREASED TEMPERATURES IN THE MOTOR WHICH IN TURN COULD CAUSE WIRING TO MELT THE INSULATION AND OTHER PLASTIC COMPONENTS AND ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A FIRE. NOW THERE SOLUTION IS TO INSTALL A SPECIAL PROTECTOR KIT TO ELIMINATE A POTENTIAL FIRE TO OCCUR. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT IF INDEED THESE HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPEC'S THEN THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED NOT MODIFIED. I WOULD HOPE THAT THEY WOULD STAND UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO THE RIGHT THING, AFTER ALL WE PAID A GOOD SUM OF MONEY FOR THESE VEHICLES AND EXPECT THESE ITEMS WHEN THEY ARRIVE TO BE HANDLED IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER, NOT BY SOME RINKY-DINKY PART INSTALLED TO GET THEM OUT OF THIS PROBLEM THAT HAS RISEN. ALL I ASK IS THAT THIS BE LOOKED INTO, I'M NOT SAYING THE PART THEY WISH AND HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED FROM MY INFORMATION ON VEHICLES ALREADY WOULDN'T SUFFICE BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT I PAID FOR. THANK-YOU *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ FULL, IS SLOW TO RESPOND, OR IS INACCURATE. I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN THAT HAS HAD THE FUEL SENDER UNIT REPLACED TWICE. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ON GOING PROBLEM BY THE UPDATED SERVICE BULLETIN THEY ISSUED ON FEB. 3, 2009 (REFERENCE # NTB08-091A) NOW I'M OUT OF WARRANTY AND NISSAN WONT COVER THE WORK FOR A 3RD TIME. *TR

REAR AXEL SEALS LEAK OIL ONTO THE REAR BRAKE PADS. *TR

THE SPRING SHACKLES ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN ARE DEFECTIVE. ONE BROKE AT AROUND 25,000 MILES AND THE SECOND ONE AT AROUND 40,000 MILES. THE SPRINGS SHOT UP INTO THE BED OF MY TRUCK ON BOTH OCCASIONS DENTING THE BED AND CAUSING ME TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME AND HAD THE SHACKLE REPLACED AND I ASKED IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND INQUIRED IF I SHOULD HAVE THE OTHER SIDE REPLACED THEY SAID NO IT WASN'T COMMON THE SPRING SHACKLES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK, IF THEY HAD BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGHER SPEED I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE IS A BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE REAR LEAF SPRING. THE LEAF SPRING APPEARS TO BE FAULTY AND NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST BRACKET FAILED AND THE CONTACT BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND NO ASSISTANCE COULD BE PROVIDED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN REDESIGNED A NEW PART, WHICH THE CONTACT STATED WAS A MUCH BETTER DESIGN THAN THE ORIGINAL. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE BRACKET WAS ALREADY REPAIRED. CURRENTLY, THE PASSENGER SIDE BRACKET NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 65,000. UPDATED 6/8/09 *CN UPDATED 06/11/09.*JB

LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL FAILED AT 29,900 MILES (1.5 YEARS AGO) AND ENTIRE REAR END/AXLE ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP. NOW HAVE DRIVEN 48,000 AND THE REPLACEMENT AXLE SEAL ON THE LEFT SIDE (SAME AS BEFORE) HAS STARTED LEAKING AND MUST BE REPLACED. THERE HAVE BEEN NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS TO THIS VEHICLE AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR TOWING OR ANY TYPE. REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAKS AND CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF REAR END AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENT FROM SUDDEN STOP CAUSED BY AXLE LOCKING UP. REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ALSO LEAKS ON REAL BRAKE ROTORS AND EMERGENCY BRAKES AND COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE. SEVERAL SIMILAR INCIDENTS OF THIS SAME FAILURE CAN BE FOUND ONLINE AND IT APPEARS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE (2006 NISSAN TITAN). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR FOR THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS FOR THE FRONT TIRES. THE VEHICLE WORKED NORMALLY FOR A YEAR AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, BUT THE FAILURE EVENTUALLY RECURRED. THIS TEMPORARILY REMEDIED THE ISSUE FOR 15,000 MILES. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THIS FAILURE SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING TO A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT USED EVERYDAY, SO HE BELIEVES THE FAILURE IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED FOR A SECOND TIME. CURRENTLY, THE ROTORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 5/26/09 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AND NEW PADS WERE INSTALLED. UPDATED 05/28/09.*JB

RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 8000 MILES NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL. NISSAN REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS LEAKING WHERE THE AXLE MEETS THE TIRE ON BOTH SIDES. *TR

THE REAR SEAT SEAT-BELTS OF MY NISSAN TITAN TRUCK WILL TIGHTEN INTO A LOCKED POSITION CAUSING THE PASSENGER TO BECOME IMMOBILIZED AGAINST THE SEAT BACK. THE ONLY WAY TO UNDO THE LOCKED SEAT-BELT IS TO COMPLETELY DISENGAGE IT, AND THEN RE-LOCK IT. HOWEVER, IT'S THEN JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT LOCKS UP AGAIN FORCING THE PASSENGER TO UNLOCK IT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD, BECAUSE THE PASSENGER HAS TO UNDO THEIR SEAT-BELT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION SO THEY CAN MOVE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SEAT BELTS ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIX THEM. I HAVE VERIFIED WITH OTHER 2006 NISSAN TITAN OWNERS AND THEY HAVE NOTED THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE NISSAN DEALER ADMITTED THEY HAVE HAD OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO REDESIGN THE REAR SEAT BELTS OR USE DIFFERENT TYPES THAT WON'T TIGHTEN AND LOCK UP WHEN PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY SITTING IN THEM, WHICH CREATES THIS SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I ALWAYS INSIST THAT ANYONE RIDING WITH ME USE THE SEAT BELTS, BUT I HAVE NOTED ON OCCASION THAT SOME HAVE RELEASED THEM WITHOUT TELLING ME, BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT HAD LOCKED UP ON THEM, CAUSING TOO MUCH DISCOMFORT. MAYBE YOU CAN GET NISSAN TO CORRECT THIS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY WON'T LISTEN TO ME (THEY SIMPLY REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT WITH A SIMILAR DEFECTIVE ONE). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT NOTICED OIL LEAKING FROM THE REAR AXLE. THE FAILURE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT HEARD A BANGING NOISE ONCE. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, SHE FOUND THAT SEVERAL VEHICLES WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME NOISE. THE VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 65,000. UPDATED 5/18/09 *CN UPDATED 05/19/09.*JB

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE CAME APART AT THE WELD AND THE BACK OF THE LEAF SPRING PUNCHED UP THROUGH THE BED OF MY TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WAS NOT ACCOMPANIED BY ANY LOUD NOISE OR ANY INDICATION THAT SOMETHING HAD GONE DRASTICALLY WRONG. THIS IS A 4X4, OFF-ROAD/WORK TRUCK. THESE SHACKLES SHOULD NEVER BREAK, LET ALONE ONLY AFTER 3 WINTERS. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I ALSO FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE IS SHOWING SIGNS OF STRESS AND CRACKING. I HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND HAVEN'T HEARD ANY INFO FROM THEM EITHER. I HAVE HAD TRUCK TOWED OUT OF NISSAN DEALER AND HAVE OBTAINED SOME HEAVY-DUTY AFTERMARKET SHACKLES WHICH I PLAN TO INSTALL. *TR

TRAVELED TO SYRACUSE, NY WITH FRIEND SON SUNDAY 2-22-09. NOTICED BRAKE NOISE AND WEAK BRAKING POWER. ON RETURN TO HOME IN EVENING, HAD NEAR ACCIDENT DUE TO BAD BRAKING. TOOK TRUCK TO NISSAN DEALER 2-24-09. DEALER SAID TRUCK OUT OF WARRANTY (11,868 MILES)HAD IT REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE MORE. THE PROBLEM IS TYPICAL OF THIS TRUCK DUE TO LIGHT USE. I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH DANGEROUS BRAKING POWER SINCE THE TRUCK IS NEARLY NEW. I ASKED NISSAN FOR A REFUND FOR THE REPAIR OF $ 1116.77 WHICH THEY CLAIMED WAS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THEY SHOULD NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE HAS A BAD ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS DEFECT IS CORRECTED. *TR

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V459000 I WAS TOLD THAT THIS RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE, BUT I DO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND I DO HAVE THE VEHICLE MENTIONED. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY VEHICLE'S VIN IS NOT PART OF THE CAMPAIGN. *TR

MY 06 TITAN 4WD HAD JUST HAD REPAIRS TO THE TRANSMISSION DONE 2-3 DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. MY TRUCK HAD BEEN RUNNING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE AC AND RADIO GOING FOR SOME TIME WHILE I WAS DOING VARIOUS CLEANING AND OTHER STUFF OUTSIDE. I WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT COOLING OFF WITH MY EYES CLOSED WHEN MY NEIGHBOR CAME RUNNING OUT SCREAMING THAT MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE HOOD FLAMES WERE VISIBLE AND SMOKE. SHE CALLED THE FIRE DEPT WHILE I USED THE HOSE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE THE BEST I COULD UNTIL THE FIRE DEPT ARRIVED. A NISSAN REP INVESTIGATED THE FIRE AND SAID IT WAS NOT THE COMPANY PROBLEM. SHORTLY LATER I RECEIVE THE RECALL CONCERNING THE AC UNIT AND THAT IT MAY LEAD TO FIRE. WE HAD NO INSURANCE AT THE TIME BUT IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IS THIS LEGAL? *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN TITAN P/U AND THROUGH THE YEARS I NOTICED SOME RUST ON MY REAR BUMPER. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECK BEFORE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT IT'S FROM THE RUBBER STRIP THAT IS PLACED ON THE BUMPER AND THAT WHEN YOU STEP ON IT TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE BED IT TENDS TO MOVE AND SCRATCH THE BUMPER AND THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE RUST. I TOLD THE MANAGER I BARELY USE THE BUMPER SO HOW CAN THAT BE THE CAUSE. I ASKED IF THIS IS COVERED SINCE IT'S THE FAULT OF THE RUBBER STRIP AND THE WAY IS WAS PLACED ON THE BUMPER, AND HIS ANSWER WAS NO AND THAT THEY WOULD ONLY COVER IT IF IT WAS ROTTED THROUGH. I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND BY THE TIME IT DOES ROT THROUGH MY WARRANTY WOULD BE EXPIRED. I FEEL THIS IS THE FAULT OF NISSAN FOR NOT USING THE PROPER MATERIAL OR APPLICATION, SO WHY SHOULD I PAY THE PRICE FOR THEIR MISTAKES? I HOPE YOU CAN DIRECT ME ON HOW I CAN RESOLVE THIS MATTER. *TR THANK YOU MR. ALLEN NEALY
