Nissan Titan


Consumer Complaints & Reviews

I bought this truck with 18,000 miles on it in 2008. It was in excellent condition at the time. Except for the terrible gas mileage, consistently 10 mpg, there didn't appear to be any real issues, until around November 2011. From the first day I owned it, I would get a slight vibration in the front end, between 60-65 mph. It would be smooth under and over that speed, and I attributed it a wheel, being out of balance, although new tires were on the vehicle, when I bought it. In 2011, I started getting a SES (service engine soon) light, whenever I hit 70 mph. The vehicle would run fine, and there was no indication of a problem, it was even passing it's emission tests. I would reset the SES light, and it would be fine until I hit 70-75 mph again.

In Sept. 2011, I was getting a clunking sound in the front end, and I discovered my universal joint on the front drive shaft was falling apart. The needle bearings had fallen out of it. I thought this was strange, because I rarely use the front drive shaft for 4 wheel drive. After changing the u-joint, the shake in my front went away when going 60-65 mph, which could only mean it had been failing for at least 3 years. In December 2011, the SES light started coming on at lower speeds, and I brought it to my mechanic who determined it was a bad oxygen sensor, and would be about $200. He also had the truck on a lift, and discovered these other problems that I wasn't aware of.

All 4 brake rotors were shot, the rear shocks were rotting off their connection points, the front struts weren't far behind, the rear axle was leaking onto the rear left brake, the transmission seals were leaking, the muffler had a hole in the top of it causing the exhaust gas to escape and burning the underside of the truck bed. The tail pipe had completely rotted off the muffler, but was still being held in place by the hangers. If the truck had never been inspected on a lift I wouldn't have been aware of these problems as it "seemed" the truck was fine. The estimate to fix everything was about $2,000. This is from a trustworthy mechanic who I've known for many years.

What upsets me the most is that this truck was never used for towing, rarely used in four wheel drive, always garaged, and only has 44,000 miles on it. It didn't take long to make a decision, the truck was gone by the end of the week. I originally intended to keep the truck for many years, but after seeing these problems and reading about numerous others, I wasn't about to wait until the differential blew apart, or the truck caught on fire. I can't imagine the problems this Titan would have encountered, if I actually used it for it's intended purposes, as a truck. This was my first and last Nissan vehicle.

The catalytic converter issue is a definite defect for the 2006 Nissan Titan. Let me pile on even more. I purchased my 2006 Nissan Titan (Texas Titan package) Crewcab brand new and had just paid it off and after 125k miles, one of the catalytic converters went out. The dealership has quoted me $1300 to repair, but after reading the posts on this website, I am absolutely not spending $1300 to replace a part that's covered under warranty for 12 months, only to have the new converter go out and have the same problem a year and a half later. Thanks to all who posted. This is the last Nissan automobile I will purchase.

I bought my 2004 Nissan Titan with less than 80,000 miles. When I purchased the 2004 Nissan Titan, it had cracked exhaust manifolds. I had noticed the ticking and unique sound when I purchased the vehicle. The Nissan drove fine, but I doubt it could meet emission standards. The cracked exhaust manifolds change the oxygen sensor reading and changes the fuel mixture and leaks exhaust with not treatment from the CAT. I think there should be a recall on the exhaust because there are no flex pipes built into the exhaust. The manifold cracks when the truck flexes and moves. It breaks from normal driving, under normal driving conditions.

I have a 2005 Titan truck that has been killing my wallet! My truck is sitting at AAMCO for the last 2 1/2 weeks because Nissan does not have the transmission part for my truck anywhere. The whole USA? I'm renting a truck at $19.95 a day plus 0.59 cants a mile. My total so far is $900.00. They say the part might come in 1/24.

Maybe? In 2011 my rear-end went out and cost me $980. In 2010 my on board computer went out and cost me $480. About 4 months later I got a recall for a bad chip in my computer. They refunded me my $480. In 2010 my wiring package shorted out and blew my radio/CD player out. North American Nissan would only replace my wiring package, not my radio/CD player which they wanted me to pay $580.00 to replace that. Their wiring package shorted out which blew my radio/CD player: **! I have also had recalls on the cooling fan, bad bolts on my truck bed. You need to do a break job once a year on this truck also!

At 100k miles, my catalytic converter went out. Dealer wanted $1,600+ to fix and the parts are only good for 12 months or 12k miles. I've noticed that online Nissan Titan owners are having the same problem. It was time for smog here in Cali but my check engine light was in so it wouldn't pass the visual inspection. There has to be a recall or something every other truck out there that only has one catalytic. Why does this truck need four? It's not fair for the average working people that picked a Nissan because they thought it would last. It's not reliable and I'm very upset.

I have a 2004 Nissan Titan purchased brand new. I was told it now has a right bent axle and a left leaking axle in the rear. The truck has never been wrecked. I'm concerned that this could be a defect in the Nissan Titan and I have filed a complaint against Nissan in hopes that it will be fixed by them free of charge. Nissan should stand true to their consumers that by their 30 thousand dollar trucks.

2006 Nissan Titan. My truck has a transfer case leak (seal) and a rear axle leak (seal & bearings). My truck has factory suspension, never a lift kit, and I do not hall trailers or large loads in the bed.

I also have a 2005 Nissan Titan. At around 50,000 miles I had to replace the whole rear end. Then on the second rear end, the seals were leaking and also had to have that replaced also. Now I am having problems with the front end with a terrible grinding noise. I was very disappointed that Nissan wouldn't do anything for the 2nd rear end. And by the way truck has never been off-road or abused. All these problems have been due to normal every day driving. I would advise someone looking to buy a full size truck, not to buy a Nissan.

Wheel seals leak on rear axel of 2005 Nissan Titan with 37,000 miles. Consequence is $1500 cost to repair.

The front control arms on this vehicle have the same issue that many other Nissan's that have been recalled do. This particular vin number however, does not come under recall but it is the exact same issue as stated below. Nissan states that this will cause a collision if not addressed. Nissan will not acknowledge the issue on my vehicle because my vin # isn't "right."

I own a 2004 Nissan Titan 4 door 4x4. I was a very happy Nissan customer when I bought this truck. After about 55,000 miles, the truck went downhill. I have replaced 3 radiators and a rear axle, among many others. I am now going to have to get another rear axle with only 60,000 miles on this rear axle. I think this is a serious problem among many more with this truck, including the braking system. Braking system will fail, and abs light will come on, and you will have no braking power.

I purchased a 2006 Nissan Titan brand new and am the original owner. After 110,000 miles on the truck, the catalytic converters went out. I paid my ASE certified mechanic over $1,800 dollars to replace both. The dealer quoted around $3,000. In order to get a bit cheaper price, I was thinking about using after market parts but my mechanic urged me to use genuine Nissan parts.

I relented and did so. All was well until 13 months later, the Check Engine light started coming on and guess what the issue was? The converters went out. The Nissan parts were only warranted for one year, go figure - 1 month later the warranty goes out.

I went through Nissan customer service and spent a lot of time arguing with them on why they should cover the parts. They kept mentioning if the dealer would have replaced them they could help me out. Oh, now I see why you charge so much more than my mechanic even though he used Nissan certified parts. I even suggested if they sent me the replacement converters, I would pay the labor to have them replaced. They wouldn't even do this. This is ludicrous, there is clearly a manufacturer defect and now I am again stuck with paying the cost.

On August 13th, I was driving along the freeway in my 2006 Nissan Titan when my whole sunroof blew off. I looked in the rear view and luckily, no cars were behind me. I immediately took it back to the dealer and they advised me to contact consumer affairs to get it replaced, so I did. They refused to fix the matter without sending anyone out to inspect it.

So, I contacted my insurance. However, they also refused to fix the problem stating that the problem occurred due to wear and tear on the the tracks where the sunroof was attached. I then called consumer affairs back telling them that it was due to wear and tear and I shouldn't be financially responsible. I also had pictures that shows the corrosion along the tracks. They still refused to fix the problem, once again, without sending out anyone to inspect it. It cost $1,900 to fix this problem. I don't believe that I should be responsible.

We were traveling on vacation with three small kids. About an hour into the drive, all the lights came up on the dashboard and truck would not run. After having it towed home and not being able to go on vacation, we found out that there was over $3,000 worth of damage and what had happened was the muffler unit fell off and got so hot that it burned up the entire bottom of the vehicle.

When I went to pick up the truck after getting it fixed, I was told by the manager, Brian, that this was the 5th Titan he had fixed with the exact same problem and we live in a small town. He said that the location of the muffler is not in a safe place. I filed a complaint with Nissan Consumer affairs, and they acted like they cared and asked me to send receipt and they would look into. After waiting almost 3 weeks of horrible customer service, they denied me, stating that it had 74,000 miles and wasn't covered under warranty. I have been researching online and lots of people are having the same exact issue. I think this needs to be recalled and I need to be reimbursed.

I have a 2006 Nissan Titan that had a 4 low light blinking while I was out of town. I took it to the dealership and the mechanic told me it could be one of the 3 switches but they couldn't do the repair because they didn't have the parts, but it would be okay for me to drive the 400 miles back home. I paid the $120 diagnostic fee but don't think it was fair, since they said that the amount would go towards the cost of repairing. But since they don't have any parts, I was just out that money. On the way home, I heard a clunking and thumping noise so, later that week when I got back, I took it to my dealership where I bought the vehicle from. They said that the transfer case was leaking, it had no bolts left in it, and has very little fluid but a lot of metal shavings. They told me that it would need to be replaced at a cost of about $2,700. I have read in many of the forums about people having problems with this and feel like Nissan should stand up and take care of this obvious problem that they have.

I bought a 2011 Nissan Titan on August 12, 2011 in Carson City California. I drove it all the way to Colorado with no problem. However, just this morning (18 Sept 2011), we were on 25N freeway. I exit at Academy Blvd. and as soon as I passed the bridge, the truck went dead. I cannot even stop, the break will not work. The truck was rolling by itself. The battery is working and I have enough battery to go home. When it finally stopped, I waited for 5-10 seconds and I started the engine again.

I started to move and as soon as I passed the 2nd stoplight, it stopped again. So I decided to park in Home Depot parking lot and called for a tow truck in which I paid for out of my pocket. It was so frustrating and a very scary experience. The tow truck guy thought it was just the clamp on the battery because it was loose. Then, he followed me for 10-11 blocks and it was fine. So he left. But as soon as I was about to go down the hill, it happened again and this time, it did not want to stop so I have to go up the ramp off the side walk so I didn't have to hit any car in front of me. It stalled 3 times. I called the tow truck again and towed it to Nissan Colorado Springs in Academy. I have to call them tomorrow.

I bought my 2005 Nissan Titan 5.6 XE 4X4 less than 3,000 miles ago with 88,000 +/- miles. I needed a new pickup truck and thought since we had a trip planned for Texas, I would have an excuse to purchase it sooner. I lost my rear end the day I got here. I went to pull out of our friend's driveway when I was stopped suddenly. It felt like someone had tied a rope to my bumper. I put it in park, crawled around looking to see if I ran something over, etc. I noticed fluid had been seeping from behind the rear tires. I got in and stepped on the brakes to rule out brake fluid. I immediately determined it was the rear axle seals leaking. I went to back up and "pop, pop, pop". I called the closest dealer and they picked it up with a wrecker. If I had known about the defect before purchasing, obviously, I wouldn't have bought this vehicle.

I purchased a 2005 Titan about a year ago and already have had to replace brakes, leaf spring shackle and now the rear differential. All issues that seem to be quite frequent on these trucks.

I have a Nissan Titan with 89000 miles on it. The rear axle seals started leaking. Apparently, everybody is having problems with this. And who knows how much it's going to cost me, since I have to replace the spacers, the bearings and perhaps even the brakes.

My 2005 Nissan Titan quit while towing a boat. I have 37000 miles on the truck. I had the truck towed to Conway, 70 miles, for repair. The exhaust pipe was broken, had EGI fuse blown, and had both rear seals leaking. The dealer wanted approximately 2000.00 to repair all. There was nothing found about why the EGI fuse blew. My complaint is not with the Nissan dealer but with Nissan Corporation. I would not expect rear wheel seals to leak at 137,000 miles, let alone 37, 000. This seems to be a defect in this model from the research I have done. But, my truck is over 5 years old so there's no coverage to fix it. I'm punished because I don't give it much.

I just purchased a 2004 Nissan Titan LE 4x4 about a month and a half ago. I am the second owner and I bought it from a guy who cashed it brand new in 2004 and took very good care of it. The truck has only 55k miles.

Last weekend, June 19, 2011, it started making banging and grinding noises in the back wheel. At first, I thought I ran over something and it was stuck in the back wheels. After examining the rear wheel area and the brake pads, everything looked normal. However, the noise got louder and louder. It sounded like I was dragging a refrigerator. I felt a stutter in the vehicle and it started to struggle to go when I would put the truck into drive. I assumed the brake calipers may have been jammed and brought it into an auto service center to be examined. About 2 hours later, I went back to the shop and the technician took me to go see the problem. They examined the rear brakes and differential and found numerous large chunks of broken metal inside, which she said were pieces of shoes, hardware, and gears. They confirmed that the problem was in the rear differential and that the gear damage had likely caused a chain reaction damaging the entire left rear axle assembly and E-brakes. The rear axle seals were leaking too onto the wheels. All these parts needed to be replaced along with the rear axle. The service shop quoted me $3,800.00 to get this fixed! I was in shock as I just bought the truck. Of course, I could no longer drive the truck either as it was in pieces and not drivable. What am I supposed to do? I don't have this money. I had no choice but to tell the service shop to go ahead with the repairs and I will just have to put it on a credit card.

The truck is currently at the shop as parts needed to be ordered. Today, I decided to do some research and went on to several internet sites for Nissan Titan owners to see if others were experiencing similar problems or if there was a recall for this. After reading page after page of entries posted by other Titan owners, there is no doubt the problem I experienced is definitely common and recurring with Nissan Titans. I could not find a recall though. I called the local Nissan dealership and spoke to a service person to get his opinion. He said he has not heard of this problem and that I should not believe everything I see on the internet. I was upset! He said that there is nothing they can do and all I could do was contact the Nissan Consumer Service.

I will be filing a complaint with the NHTSA (www.odi.nhtsa.dot.gov). I am thankful as there could have been a very bad accident on the road if I did not bring it in yet. This is so frustrating! Is there anything else I can do? If this is a common occurrence, why do I, along with many other Titan owners, have to pay almost $4k for the repairs? That is dangerous and Nissan needs to cover these much needed expenses.

After a rear end failure in my 2004 Nissan Titan I found it is a widespread problem. Calling Nissan to complain did no good.

I own a 2007 Nissan Titan that currently has 74,000 miles. The drivers side rear seal went out around 40,000 miles and now the right side rear seal is out. The first was replace at the dealer under warranty. Being out of warranty now, I am going to have to pay around $750 to have this one replaced. My problem is that I purchased a Nissan because of their excellent quality, and reliability only to find out their quality is not good and they will not stand by their product. I have talked to around six other people with Titan's who have had the same problem! It seems like almost everyone who owns a Titan has this problem. Why is it not on recall?

I took my 2006 Nissan Titan into Fish Creek Nissan in Calgary. I was told I have a rear axle seal leak, and that I need to have the entire rear axle assembly replaced to fix the leak. I found many other people online with the exact same issue as myself. I called Nissan Canada and they felt it isn't a safety issue therefore it wouldn't be recalled. I do feel it could be a safety or mechanical issue that should definitely be recalled. Total cost estimate for repairs was $3,500.

I have a 2004 Nissan Titan and the rear shackle uncoiled and sent the spring through the bed of the truck. I have taken it to several mechanics, including the dealer and no one has ever seen this before, but fail to help me because the car is out of warranty. I have noticed that Nissan has a recall for this truck on front control arm, because of improper welding, not my part, but same faulty welding.

The oil went to the radiator. They replaced the motor and then the heater did not work for two mornings and they fixed that problem. The last straw, the motor in the driver window burnt out and they wanted me to pay for this. The truck is a 2008.5 Titan and has been nothing but trouble. It is a true lemon. I am thoroughly disgusted.

I have a 2005 Nissan Titan with 66,000 miles. I need a whole new rear differential that is related to the lower link recall. Total cost $4000 dollars, and my wife almost killed herself when the rear end went.

I own a 2005 Nissan Titan SE, 4x4, Off Road package with E-Locker (electronic locking differential). On Sunday, Oct 10, 2010, while cruising at 60-63 mph on dry pavement, began hearing banging noises and feeling a shutter in the vehicle. Drove truck straight to my usual mechanic at Cheriton Auto and left it for him to examine when he opened Monday morning, and had girlfriend come to pick me up. Mechanic examined the rear differential and found numerous large chunks of metal inside, which he said were pieces of gears.

He admitted very frankly that he did not feel comfortable performing the repairs, and recommended another shop that could. So I contacted Ferebee Enterprises, who sent a tow truck to pick up the vehicle and did their own assessment. They confirmed that the problem was in the rear differential and that the gear damage had likely caused a chain reaction damaging the entire rear axle assembly.

Ferebee's was able to find a replacement rear end and quote a price, but could not offer a warranty on the work. The mechanic then stated that to spend that much money on a part and repair without a warranty was not smart, and that this would be a service better performed by the dealer with factory parts that would be warrantied. I agreed of course and proceeded to contact several Nissan dealerships in the area to get quotes for the repairs. All said that they could not say for sure until getting the vehicle and seeing for themselves, but offered a price for what a rear end replacement would cost.

Charles Barker Nissan offered the lowest estimate of $2700 and seemed "the most eager for my business." So I had the vehicle towed there. Immediately, David ** in the service department called to say that in fact the Titan was in need of a new rear end and that the price would now be $3200 instead of $2700. In addition, that the failure to the rear differential had been caused by worn tires and that unless I purchased 4 new tires the parts and repairs would not be covered under warranty.

I mentioned earlier that I was operating on dry pavement when the failure took place. Now Mr. ** and his service tech at the dealership are telling me that the tires are the cause of the problem. Here's the history of the tires on the Titan: Toyo Open Country 285/70-R17 (stock size with moderate tread pattern). They were purchased and installed on December 31, 2008, by Straightline Automotive with 52,893 miles on the vehicle. When the rear axle failure occurred on Oct 10,'10, the truck had 80,516 miles on it.

This means the tires were 21 months and 11 days old with only 27,623 miles on them. Not particularly old or used for tires by today's standards. Furthermore, the vehicle had just been inspected on July 29,'10 at 77,434 miles and passed with no issues. So the tires were deemed safe for highway use by a certified state inspection agency just 3,082 miles earlier. Yet Charles Barker Nissan says the tires deteriorated so much in so little time as to cause catastrophic failure to the vehicle!

So, the dealership would now like $3200 for a new rear end (which went up $500 once they had the vehicle there and I was unable to drive it anywhere else) plus $1182 for new tires because they were the cause of the problem. I should also mention the tires I purchased for the truck 21 months earlier only cost $787.54. A difference of $395.

This may just be my opinion, but I believe the dealership expected me to just cave and spend the additional $1182 for tires because they had the vehicle on the lot. It had to be towed there and was inoperable, therefore I had no option but to let them stick me for this additional cost.

Back to the facts.

Finally, I asked the dealership to examine the 4wd on my Titan while it was in their shop. This had stopped working on January 31,'10 following a snow storm. I backed out of the driveway, engaged the 4wd control, and proceeded down the street. To my dismay, the 4wd did not engage, I had no traction, slid out of the packed snow, and became stuck. The 4wd has not worked since. The Nissan dealership quoted me a price of $2637.07 to fix this issue.

Not being able to afford these expensive repairs or spending $800-1000 every 21 months for new tires aroused my curiosity, decided to do some research. Went on to several internet sites for Nissan Titan owners to see if others were experiencing similar problems. After hours of reading page after page of entries posted by other Titan owners, there is no doubt the problems I am experiencing with my Titan are definitely common and reoccurring with Nissan Titans. Nissan is aware of the problems but offers no compensation or recall, and even denies in many cases that the problems exists. However, the numerous Titan owners on titantalk.com and clubtitan.org with the same problems and experiences tell a different story. There are also more than 82 cases/complaints filed with the NHTSA at www.odi.nhtsa.dot.gov. My ODI case # is **, and there are many more just like it.

2006 Titan LE with 66,000 miles. Two weeks ago, I brought truck in because of "whining" sound coming from underneath. I was told the rear axle seals need to be replaced and that fluid has leaked on the emergency brake and rear brakes. The rear cost $888, brakes $1600. I did the brakes myself, $280. The dealer did the seals. I picked up the truck and the same noise, along with a vibration under the driver's foot bed is still noticeable. I now found out that the front differential and the transfer case are bad and need to be replaced, $3800. The truck has 66,000 miles, the warranty expired at 60,000. I do not use the 4x4 at all and never ride off road. How can these problems happen without something being wrong with the construction of this vehicle?

On 6 October 2010, the rear end of our 2005 Nissan Titan began to squeak. The ABS light came on. About 10 minutes later, while traveling on the interstate trying to get to a service station, the right rear hub broke off of the rear axle. Luckily, we were not traveling at the posted speed limit because if we had been, the truck would have flipped. The truck was towed to a nearby repair shop. The mechanic there told us that we had a bad rear seal. We were very lucky and that the cost to replace the rear axle and the components would be about $3,000.00.

Since I bought my 2005 Nissan titan there have been several recalls. The first was for shaking brakes. They fixed it once and I need new rotors every 15000 miles. The second recall was for an air conditioner condenser motor that could catch a fire. They replaced that but for the next few days I woke up with a dead battery. They said they fixed it but when I went to pick it up the battery was dead again. A few more days pass. Eventually Nissan fixed the problem. So I thought.

On May 10, 2010 I wasn't even in the truck and had the keys in my hand and suddenly smoke came pouring out the windows. I had a fire under the dash. My big mistake was putting out the fire. I should have let the thing burn completely. I had it towed to DCH Freehold Nissan and to make a long story short it took them over 80 days and many un-returned phone calls before I got my truck back. I've been back 2 times for things going off suddenly, parts of my dashboard were missing.

The more I look the more I find wrong. There are wires hanging out of the bottom of my seat. They broke the visor when they removed the dash and just shoved it back up there like I wouldn't notice or be just too fed up to care. When I first went to pick it up it wasn't even ready. They didn't even clean the interior of fire extinguisher and soot on the windows. They installed a brand new carpet over soot and smoke damage and screwed up the trim on one side. There are also several access punch outs missing on the steering column. After they received my complaint from consumer affairs they were oh so helpful. I am getting that shaking again in the brakes and now I read all the complaints about that too. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet on that one too! Now I own a truck with shaking brakes that smells like burning wires that could conk out or catch on fire at any time. Welcome to the "DCH Freehold Nissan Experience".

I was told that my 2006 Nissan Titan's front wheel hub bearing needs to be replaced. I don't have many miles on this truck, it's like 85ths. I was told that I need them on both sides in the front for a 2006. I don't think I need to replace them but I was told so. I think that Nissan need to look into the wheel bearing hub. I never had to replace anything I owned and now when I got this truck, I have to replace them when they are sealed. If you cannot grease them and they go back from the dealer or their main office who put it together, I think they need to replace them for free.

I was informed that 2005 Nissan Titan has a rear differential problem. I researched service bulletins and consumer complaints to find this is a defect. Nissan has avoided recalling truck for this condition. The dealer manager informed me that this was not a common problem. I paid $3500 in replacement costs because Nissan "does not repair differentials", only replaces them. When someone is injured or killed as a result of this defect, Nissan will be mandated to admit the problem. I want to be part of the documentation process that Nissan was aware of this problem.

70,0000 miles on my Nissan Titan 2005. The differential locked up and went bad. This is apparently a common problem, but Nissan has not issued a recall. Nissan North America made me take my truck to the dealer and have it assessed for me to be eligible for "financial assistance". Which cost me $50 to tell me something I already knew. Then it took Nissan North America almost 2 weeks to call me and tell me they would not offer any "financial assistance" toward the repair. Which was estimated at $3500. I opted to repair it by my own means.

When I brought my truck back, I realized that the dealer (Frederick Nissan) had pulled my truck by the brush guard, which bent it out. They denied even moving it. They lied. When dropped off, it was backed into a parking spot, when picked up, it was forward in a parking spot in a different location on the lot. Marty and the Service manager of Frederick Nissan (Gary) are liars.

The estimated cost of repairs through Nissan is $3500. I will get it replaced for about $1500.

We have had many problems going on with our 2007 Nissan Titan. So far 2 recalls, they had to replace the motor on the fan. I think that cools the engine down and now we have another recall notice regarding the fuel gauge. The fuel sender needs to be replaced and the drive shaft went out on it. I had to buy another one. I bought it used for 270.00 dollars and Dans Automotive in Archer charged me $50.00 to put it on for me. I had oil changes done to it, a tune up which was due at 100000 miles. I had it done at 98000 miles. I had a complete flush done.

I paid about $300.00 for the flush. I had to replace the front brakes and now the head is cracked. It's still under warranty and they won't fix it because I don't have all the documentation. The lights don't work, like if you oil gets low. I have to put 3 quarts of oil in it every week. There is smoke coming out. The tail pipe smells like oil and antifreeze.

The truck cost around 23000 dollars. I also bought the tow package but in the fine print it tells you have two weeks. That was money I just gave to them. I am very disappointed with them. They do not care about their customers. I paid 500 dollars for that tow package and they would not put it on or give my money back to me. I had the engine serviced also. They sold me a piece of junk. I am mad. You buyers that go looking for a vehicle, avoid Nissan. They won't even honor the warranty on the truck and the truck still is under warranty and you have to pay for a rental vehicle. Also, I think if its under warranty, they should have a loaner for you.

I'm gonna check into the lemon law. I'm gonna park my vehicle close by Nissan with the lemon law sign on it. I hope they see it. They treat their customers badly. I have been scared to drive it to work on the night. I feel it is unsafe. It has so many problems going on with it. It smokes so bad, it looks like you're burning a pile of wood. It's thick white smoke. I'm afraid its gonna blow up with me driving it. It's my only form of transportation of getting to work.

I have this 2005 Nissan Titan with only 57,000 miles and the rear axle seals are leaking. The dealer wanted over $1,000 to fix this problem which I can't afford right now.

We have had issues with our 05 Titan since we purchased it new. We have had to have the rotors replaced 3 times, each time we were told that the problem (brakes shaking) would be fixed. The last time we had them worked on, we were told that Nissan would not replace it with another set, even though we were under warranty.

We only have 40,000 original miles on the truck and it has been very well taken care of. We have tried to get Nissan to be fair and just with us and they have assigned a representative to us and every time she calls she says, the case is still under investigation. We are so tired of getting the run around with Nissan. They are aware of the braking issue with the 05 Titan. I would sincerely hope and pray that no one gets hurt or worse dies from their negligence.

We have had a Nissan mechanic tell us they (Nissan) made a mistake by putting such small brake rotors on this big truck. I am at my wits end this truck's brakes so much so that I am willing to trade it to another brand just to have peace of mind when I drive it. That to me is sad, when you cannot even trust a top of the line truck to get you to Wal-Mart. I wish we had never bought this vehicle.

Failure of rear diferential. 2004 Titan purchased 8/04. In 8/05 while in Washington state on vacation, noticed 3-4 mpg drop in gas mileage. Crawled under truck looking for gas leak and found differential fluid had shot out of front seal and fluid was low. Added fluid per owner's manual and brought to a dealer. Dealer said I used wrong fluid and should have used synthetic.

At this point Nissan realized they had a heat problem and switched to synthetic and installed finned differential covers (which I noticed were on the 2005 models in their lot). I told the dealer they were covering up a heat problem on the 2004 model and wanted an inspection. They refused since they didn't see a problem. Installed Mag-Hytech cover myself. Periodically had oil shoot out of vent on axle tube and all over tire. Dealer said that was normal. 4/17/08 at 41000 miles right axle seal failure, dealer fixed. 10/13/09 at 52589 miles left axle seal failure, convinced Nisssan corporate to fix and they did. Found fix on-line for bad axle vent design, added vent hose and filter but still had fluid coming out. 3/8/10 at 55900 lots of metal on dipstick, changed fluid and pieces of spider gear came out with fluid.

3/16/10 at 55919 brought to dealer for inspection hoping to get Nissan to repair differential. Nissan refused since "too expensive, there isn't enough documentation and there wasn't a recall anyway", some of the dumber comments I've ever heard. 3/22/10 at 55924 had 4x4 shop repair differential. Shop showed me Nissan had installed wrong bolts in differential. Shoulder on bolts was too short and only hit one side of spider gear assembly flange, with other side riding on the threads. Bolts eventually backed out causing spider gears to self-destruct. Cost me $2100 to repair, existing ring and pinion were in good shape in spite of issues. Replaced differential assembly with Detroit True Trac. Shop used bolts from another Dana differential and cut length to fit.

2007 Nissan Titan rear wheel axel seal is leaking oil on the brake pads. The emergency brake no longer works. I took the truck to the dealership at 32,000 miles and they replaced it. It started to leak again at 40,000miles. This truck is not a daily driver. The dealership said they will not fix it since they already fixed it once, even though it's still under warranty.

At 17 years old, I purchased a 2004 Titan XE crew cab used with 63,000 miles. Fourteen months have passed and I have had all sorts of trouble with it beginning with a computer module going out, which cost me over $500 out of pocket. Then this past Christmas, the park brake on the right side jammed while driving at 65 mph, destroying the entire park break assembly. Just that alone cost about $1000 to repair, and just the other day, the rear axle bearing went out costing me another $600 to repair. Now after all this, the engine is overheating because the water pump isn't working properly and the radiator has developed a large leak which will cost another large chunk of money when I sent it to get repaired, and by the way, this truck only has 92,000 miles currently on it. I can definitely say this is my first Titan and it will be the last.

Last year my '06 Titan LE failed to pass inspection and Nissan replaced the Catalytic converter under warranty. This year it would not pass and Nissan replaced the other catalytic converter under warranty. Several weeks later, it was 4 quarts low oil. I filled and 3000 miles, later it was 4 qts low again. Took it to Nissan and after testing, they will replace the engine.

I bought a new 2004 Nissan Titan, which was the third new vehicle I bought from Sheehy Nissan in Glen Burnie, Maryland. This truck has been trouble from the very beginning. Brakes were taken from the Nissan Frontier and used to make the Titan, clearly, much too small for a truck that is double the size. I had the rear seals replaced on my own, since it was out of warranty. Now, the front differential is completely shot. I had it in 4-wheel drive maybe six times for maybe five miles its whole life. You tell me. Both dealer and Nissan have been terrible people to work with and customers are certainly placed into the back seat. Buyers beware of their products. They never last and nothing but problems. I feel used. So back to Ford I go, which has never given me problems. See ya, Nissan! Would not want to be ya, Nissan!

I have a 2005 Nissan Titan. I purchased brand new and have done all of the routine maintenance myself as the manual states. I have 36,900 miles on it and the engine has developed a valve tap and sometimes blue smoke at start up. The dealer told me that the valves need to be adjusted and said they did not see the blue smoke, but since it is an adjustment it is not covered under the power train warranty. I have spoken with mechanics and looked on a website that tell me there is no adjustment for the valves.

The reason Nissan of America also told me that they could not do anything for me was because I did not have receipts for all of the oil changes. The labor involved in this so called adjustment is 2140.00. I am very disappointed in Nissan. I don't think that a vehicle with only 36,000 miles should need such an adjustment. This does not say very much for the quality of Nissan products.

I purchased a used 2007 Nissan Titan with 39,000 miles in it. It had an excellent owner/repair history. After 1 year, at 64,000 miles, the starter and/or flywheel broke apart, while traveling down the highway in a remote area, on an out of town trip. Towing cost $275. The cost of repair was $1,100. I called Nissan dealers, and Nissan America. They all refused to do anything, stating it was out of warranty.

I complained to Nissan USA about the problem I am having with my 2005 Nissan Titan truck on 8 December 2009 and received a response on 10 December 2009. The response said someone would be in contact with me asap. I waited until January 6th 2010, then telephoned the consumer affairs division and experienced a very rude service person that said I would have to have the truck evaluated by Nissan service at my expense. I had two mechanics check it and both say the struts are worn out and that this is too soon. I now have 61,000 miles. I also have a low air light that will not go off for the 7th time.

i bought a nissan titan crew cab new in feb. 2005. it is now almost 5 yrs old and has 46,000 miles. the alternator, battary, transmission control censor, anti-lock brake censor and the radio went out all at the same time. have had no problems til now.

I bought a 06 LE titan Febuary of 09 with 80k miles on it, 1 owner. One thing I did not like was the windshield when it rains. That was fixed with some new windshield wipers and rain-x. As a teenager I hot rod my truck like no other, and I have 97k miles on it. Ive gotten the oil changed with in 5k miles between each other, put aftermarket 22s, and flowmaster exhaust. Besides the windshield, I have no complaints. The people I know have no complaints either, and love the truck

I have owned my nissan titan truck (crew model 4x4) for 3 years. I have had three major expenses. The first was a replacement of the entire back axle with no accident (mileage under 36,000). This was a an out of pocket expense since Nissan will not cover even though my truck was under warrantee. Nissan's response was "we can slipt the cost as a one time favor."

My second repairs was a replacement of the ignition valve. Once again Nissian will not cover because my warranty has exspired. It cost me hundreds of dollars. Two weeks after this incident my struts and shocks started leaking. I went to Nissan again, and because my mileage was now 52,000+ nissan will not cover either.

Nissan has been very unreasonable and its customer service representatives rude over the phone. I will not buy or own a Nissan again after this.

I bought two new vehicles fron Nissan in May of 08 both vehicles were brand new. The Titan have not had much problems with the vehicle other then for it being a year old I need a new battery as well as an alignment and 2 new tires do to that. The Altima is a different story. That car also needs a new battery, has already had to put brake fluid in he vehicle the brakes make the worst noise in the world, the engine has a knocking noise that they say is normal. I am not sure how normal a knocking noise is. The vehcile has 25000 miles and I know living in Arizona heat batteries do not last but when the car is 14 months old they want to charge me to replace the battery as well as the key chains. I have written Nissan 2 times in an email as well as mailed them a letter to consumer affairs. I had an 05 Corolla that I wish I never traded in for this car. I never had to change the battery, replaced the brakes one time but never had to add fluid. Although the car is pretty what it is doing is not. I just do not think a brand new car and what I am paying should this be happening with the car.

I purchased a pre-owned 2006 Nissan Titan King cab in February 2008. In May of 2009 I had taken my truck in to have the 33,750 mile scheduled maintenance completed, part of that entails rotating the tires. The service department at North Texas Nissan opted to skip that step because the truck needed to have the front wheels aligned. The problem is that 2006 Titans can't be adjusted. It seems the manufacturer decided not to install brackets to achieve that, forcing me to either pay around $300 to get eccenric bolts installed or to waste tires. None of this is covered in any warranty from what I have been told. I hope they have taken care of the problem in later models, but I think those of us in 2006 models received the shaft.

i took my working truck to get new clutch to the dealer and i only use my truck 11,500 and it broke down. now they are saying that is not under warranty. i pay $849.oo for labor only pluss parts and i got the parts on the dealer. now they say parts are not guarantee. this nissan dealer is not doing the right thing and some one needs to stop them.

I bought a nissan titan 2005 model.48,000 miles..Both rear wheel's were leaking around the rear axle's so i took it back and the guy said he couldn't fix it without replacing both rear axle's because they were bent.LOL give me a break.So they then refused to work on it.They said they didn't have time and that it wasn't covered under warranty.This will be the last nissan ill buy just due to the leaks and service!

i have had brakes done twice. you just dont put small brakes on a full size truck and also had some smog related issues that they couldnt seem to fix. i meen when you half to take something in thats new and you need that vehicle for work it should be done right the first time. finally i just gave up and traded it in for an 08 model hoping they got all the quarks fixed.

the brakes are a lot bigger and so far everything seems to be working fine except for i have a bad seal or boot in the front axle or some type of fluid all in the inside of the fender well. and also this one dont have the puch that my previouse truck had. sometimes when i go to pass it does not kick down leaving me in a scary situation while passing another vehicle usually around 30 miles an hr it vearys. when you buy something new it pretty much has something wrong with it now matter what brand small or big. loss of money and now have higher paments.

Bought 2005 Nissan Titan in january of 2007 with approximately 9000 miles on it. In April 2007 I started experiencing brake shudder but only had 14000 miles on it and figured that since an after-market Elec. Trailer Brake had been installed that the prev. owner may have towed without trailer brakes for a while causing the early brake failure. Went to midas, $380 for turning front rotors, replacing front pads with performance porcelain pads and all was fine.

At about 27000 miles I started to feel shuddering again so went back to midas and they checked and since still within specs they shaved rotors to true them again and seemed fine. I now have 41000 mile and my brake shudder is so severe that it feels like I am riding the lane markers when applying light pressure. I now was getting the feeling that Nissan must know of the problem and maybe there was a recall that I was not notified of or prior owner didn't go in for.

Called dealer, gave vin#, was told that it was an '05 that warranty was replacing rotors, calipers, and I believe the control arm and that it was not showing it had been done to mine but the offer had expired in January 2008. When asked why tis was not caught before resale I was told that they assumed the previous owner did it.

They gave me a $685 quote and the sales department said that it was not there problem, but since I have bought 3 cars in 4 years from them they would pay half and that was all. They refused to reimburse me for the 380 I spent at miday and now another 340 for a defect Nissan knows and has since changed in the 2006 and newer. I was told the problem stems from excessive heat and the inability for the heat to dissipate properly. The shudder is so bad that I am sure there is underlying suspension problems because I am noticing a loud clunk front right front when going over speed bumps

We purchased a Nissan Titan off the showroom floor! Brand new with a 6 lift and the No Fear package. The dealership had the truck modified at their expense, months before we were ever prospect buyers. The truck was beautiful! However, there was a noise coming from the right front end shortly after purchase. During routine oil changes at the dealership, I was told it was due to the lift and is common when modifications are done and there may not be enough room for the lift and tires in regards tot he body of the truck. Well, the noise got louder and more frequent. I took it back tot he dealership for inspection under the warranty. I was then told that under the truck we have found evidence that you hit something. I asked what that evidence was. They replaied chipped paint.

They told me that since I hit something (which I did not) my warranty would not cover anything needed for th noise. They said it needed a new CV boot. They then implied that it had something to do with the lift and sent me to the facility that did the lift to begin with. I drove immediately to their facility. They heated and bent the sway bar to keep it from rubbing against the truck, thinking that it what was causing the noise. The dealership said that wasn't the issue, but would still not take another look at it and determine if there was an additional faulty part.

During this last snow storm, the 4-wheel drive just quit working. I took it in the following morning to the dealership. I was told that the CV axle had come apart. They did not hesitate to state it was due to the CV issue from before and that I had to pay out of pocket for the repair. They never even submitted it for warranty repair. So, I paid hundreds out of pocket for the repair. I was told that it was my fault for not having the issue properly fixed to begin with. Funny, I did as they told me too and went to the facilty they hired to do the lift on the truck that they sold. Frustrated, I spoke with their sales department about trading in the truck on a different vehicle. They offered me $18k for it, with the current issue. I declined, as I owe way more than that on this truck.

Well, to date the issue is still there. I still have a loud noise coming from the right front end. I paid money out of pocket to fix what they said wasn't covered under the warranty because of the evidence of chipped paint under the truck. I have contacted their Headquarters for warranty assistance. I was promised calls back for over two weeks. To date, no one had addressed my concern from their company. In their own warranty booklet, it states to contact the BBB AutoLine for assistance if you feel you aren't getting satisfaction. Well, I did that.

Now, Nissan will not speak to me and has black flagged my name and my vehicle. I tried to trade my truck in for a safer vehicle for my family, and the dealership that sold it told the dealership I was trying to trade it in to that they wouldn' even think of taking it back or buying it at auction becasue it has service issues. Said the most they would offer for it now is $12k. So, in 2 weeks, the price offered has dropped $6k? Makes me feel that the dealership knows more about a problem with my truck than they are telling me. I truly believe they are waiting to se what else fails with the truck and each time I take it to them, they will find another excuse as to why it isn't covered under warranty.

Broken front axel. Money out of pocket for a repair covered under MFG warranty on a 2 yr old truck with less than 30k miles on it.

I would like to report that I LOVE my 2004 Nissan Titan (BLACK NIGHT). But during the winter months I continue to have problems with all Four of my doors freezing and not being able to open my doors from the outside. I'm left to roll down my windows using my wireless remote entry, and have to open the doors from within.

It is a hard problem to fix because by leaving your vehicle over night at the dealer or even driving down to a dealer in the morning it's hard to detect because it's warm in the vehicle or the temperature has started to rise, doors operate properly at that time. Service centers normally are not open until around 7:30 or 8:00am.

I think that is a MAJOR safety hazard, two you can't close the doors back, and three it is truly an inconvenience to deal with first thing in the morning. So I'm left to set in my vehicle until the doors thaw out or until one of the doors will allow me to close it back.

I purchased a used 05 titan with only 20k on it. in less than 2 years I have had to have all the electronics in the steering column replaced, 2 sensors and a shift solenoid in the transmission, 2 rear ends, several axle seals, transfer case seals, tire pressure moniters, and just within the last month my back up sensors aren't working or working whenever they feel convient, tire pressure sensors have gone out again and my rear pinon is leaking.

I quit going to the dealership because they are crazy with there prices. I can't keep paying 400 a month for something thats costing an average of 500 a month to maintain. I should of bought a beater truck and beach front property at that price.

I have recently purchased a 2005 nissan titan fur wheel drive and the front driver's side CV axel fell out of the front differential. The truck is completely stock. I noticed the axel fell out after I tried to engage the four wheel drive and it would not engage.

Luckily it did not happen while the truck was moving at a high speed the front end could of locked up and caused the truck to stop suddenly or caused me to lose control. It would of probably caused major damage to the truck, myself and any passengers that were riding with me.

My 2004 Nissan Titan has been nothing but trouble. I am constantly replacing brakes, rotors, and even brake calipers. I have had to replace the rear axles and transfer case on the 4WD also. My wife is afraid to even drive it because of the brakes going out on it so often. For the past year, I have only driven it on Saturdays to the gas station to get gas for my 4-wheeler. It just sits in the driveway, while I pay a $430.00 payment each month. When my wife's car was in the garage, we rented a car because she was too afraid to drive the Titan. My insurance keeps going up on it because of the horrible safety rating. I can't even give the thing away. I tell everyone I know, stay away from the Titan, and Nissan for that matter. This is the last Nissan I will own, and I have owned 5, but no more.

I have a 04 titan and i had the brakes fail on me. I had my 6 month old son in the truck with me when it happened. I took it back to the dealership and said to fix or they could pay for a funeral. Well they ended up replaceing the brakes. Now i just have a proplem that it won't go past 75mph or when i get on it, it wants to cut out. kinda like it's running out of gas. No idea what is wrong with it now.

My 2004 Nissan Titan with 53K miles has already had its brakes replaced (fairy predictable there) and just either blew a rear differential or had the rear drive shaft U-joints go bad. Something to keep an eye on.

I own a 2004 Nissan Titan. I take very good care of the truck and do regular maintenance. The truck has 116,000 miles now, but before it went out of the 100,000 mile warranty that I had purchased I took it to a dealership in Las Vegas for a 100 point inspection. Before the inspection was performed the first question that they asked was if the truck was still under warranty. So of course they said they found nothing wrong. The truck always had a ticking sound from the exhaust, but I was told that was normal.

The first time I take to dealer after the warranty runs out for maintenance they tell me that both of my manifolds are cracked and the cost of repair would be around $1900. The mechanic that worked on my truck told me that a lot of Titans had this problem and that they were reinforcing the new manifolds and that they are replacing a lot of them under warranty. I am sure my manifolds were cracked before the warranty expired and they would not tell me. I am 58 years old and have been driving trucks for about 35 years and have never had to replace a manifold much less both of them. I am very disappointed and will not buy another nissan.

I brought my 2005 Nissan Armada in to have a tsb done for the ABS (a known problem). When I started to get failure in my brakes, Nissan did not have a solution for it. I bought a big brake kit for Stillen because of the saftey issues. This is one of the following reasons why I am writing this. Another reason was because a put a hole in the glovebox, aftermarket wheels, had a telephone wire run in my truck, had a aftermarket radio, etc.. Randy (service advisor) call me and stated there were on tsb for my SUV and that I do not know what I am talking about. He told me I have couple of problems. First I needed to have a brake fluid flush. Second I need to have a transmission flush. Last something had chew up my washer fluid bottle. I knew that that happened and had already had it checkout by my local shop. That was not good enough for Randy. Then he gave me a price to do the 2 flushes around $700.00. I told him I could spend that much and said I bought the truck to you for just the tsb. Again Randy said there are no tsb or recalls on my SUV. I told him I would call him back. I talk to my local shop and he told me that the two flushes would be less then $300.00. At this part I decide to get my Armada and call Nissan. When my father went do to the dealership to get my SUV, Randy got an attitude because I wasn't going to have them do the work. My father told him I had already contacted Nissan. Randy's reply was that not to do that and if I did he would void my warranty. When my father drop the truck off he signed a paper giving permission to anything up to $100.00 and then saw it with a $155.40 hand writing in and told that is what we owed. Needless to say they told me since I didn't do the bgrake flush they (the dealership)were not going to do any of the tsb or recalls. I pay the $155.40 and got my truck the following day and nothing was done with a void warranty stating nissan was not going to do any of the tsb or recalls. I feel that if there is a problems with the ABS and A/C before the reasons there gave me for not doing it. What is the difference the samething is happening either none of my add on or no add ons.

On 3 Aug 2008 I was traveling on I - 40 when I came upon a slow 18 wheeler I move over into the left lane to pass, my vehicle kicked down into the passing gear and started to accelerate when the tachometer hit 3500 the engine went flat. It would not rev above 3500 RPM there was no type of warning lights, truck would speed up till it reached 3500 RPM and then it would just cut out like it had hit the rev limiter. I had to wait for the 18 wheeler to pass me in the right lane and then I pulled in behind it. I was then forced to spend the night in New Boston Texas so I could take the truck into the nearest dealership.

The following morning I started to drive the truck to the Nissan dealer Pete Mankins in Texarkana, TX. On the way there the truck started missing and the check engine light came on flashing. I pulled over and shut the vehicle down and checked the owners manual regarding the flashing check engine light. The manual stated this flashing check engine was a low speed misfire and that the vehicle needed to be check it went on to state the VECHILE COULD BE DRIVEN AND DID NOT NEED TO BE TOWED provided the following condition were met: No faster than 45 MPH and no heavy load. I was already on a back road where the 45 MPH was not a player because that was the posted speed limit and the truck was empty except for me and an overnight bag so I drove the 15 miles to the dealer. WHAN I STARTED THE TRUCK BACK UP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON.

At the Mankins dealership the mechanic hooked the vehicle to the computer and told me other than the low speed misfire there were no other codes in the memory and I was told by him I should not have driven the vehicle with the check engine light flashing that it could cause damage to the catalytic converter. I told him it stated in the owner's manual I could drive it I even showed him what it said he told me, you should not drive one when the engine is missing

He stated that he felt the problem with the RPM was the fuel pump because they had already replaced two 04 Titan fuel pumps. They did not have one in stock and would have to get one. I then rented a vehicle and continued on my trip home. I called back several days later and was told the problem was not the pump but that two of the catalytic converters were damaged (one had a hole and the other was plugged). That they had the exhaust manifold unhooked and the truck ran fine, cost of repairs would be $2400.00. I told them to leave it alone and I would pick it up.

I drove the truck home with the exhaust unhooked and it still would not rev above 3500 RPM. I then took it to Marty's Muffler repair shop in Jacksonville, AR. that replaced two of the catalytic (cost of 402.00). He checked the other two converters and stated one was good and the other was blown out but that none of them were plugged or had a hole in it. Marty also stated the reason this happens is a misfire or low fuel pressure which causes the converters to burn up. I then tried the truck out after these repairs and it still would not rev above 3500 RPM.

I took it to North Point Nissan in North Little Rock, AR. Jerry in the service department said the fuel pump was bad it would only put out 34 PSI at idle and the min should be 52 PSI (Trent the service manager at Pete Mankins stated it was not the fuel pump) and both of the original front catalytic converters were failing caused by driving the truck with the flashing check engine light (misfiring). Cost of repair was 3100.00 for fuel pump and exhaust converters. He also stated they had a problem with the 04 fuel pumps. I then called Steve at the Little Rock Nissan dealer and was told they had already replaced several 04 Titan Fuel pumps. Nissan should be aware of this problem because of the number of 04 fuel pumps that have been replaced.

I also contacted Nissan (file number 6258543) and received no help other than being told to "Have a nice day!" I was told by the rep Mallory H. ext. 47101 at Nissan that the manual meant the flashing check engine light meant the vehicle could be driven if that was the only problem and I had another problem besides the flashing light (the motor wouldn't rev above 3500 RPM). NO WHERE DOES IT STATE THAT IN THE OWNERS MANUAL! Base on the information supplied by Nissan in their 2004 Titan Owner's Manual I did damage to my truck that needed not to have happen, I have State Farm Insurance which has a tow provision and that I could have had the truck towed to the dealer at no cost to me and no other damage would have been done to my truck other than the fuel pump replacement cost of $616.00 (when the Check engine flashing light came on the first time).

The real problem with this is I have searched the internet and have found dozen of incidents where this has happen to other owners and the problem seems to stem from a fuel pump problem. In some cases the entire engine had to be replaced when the catalytic exploded upon the raw fuel from the misfire reaching the converter, sending pieces of the converter into the engine cylinder. Nissan designed the converters on the exhaust manifold which requires the converter and the manifold to be replaced when the converter goes out, at an additional cost to the consumer.

If this had happened on a two lane highway and I was passing a semi with another vehicle coming head on and my truck had failed to accelerate due to this problem there could have been several fatalities. This is a problem that Nissan needs to take care of before someone is seriously injured or killed! I have already spent 402.00 I am waiting to get my truck back from North Point whic will cost $616.00 for the fuel pump. I did not have them put the front converters on due to the cost $2400.00 for that repair.

I have a 2005 Nissan Titan which has a sprayed in bedliner and rail system. The bedliner is bubbling in multiple spots. Nissan has 3 technical service bulletins about this issue, NTB05002(a), NTB05-044, NTB05083. This is affecting model years 2004, 2005, and 2006. After doing some research online at several Nissan Titan forums and talking with some other Titan owners, Nissan has been repairing these issues. One person stated that a Nissan service tech had told them that Nissan started using a different material for the bedliner in 2005 because of the issues.

I contacted Nissan Customer Service corp office to see what Nissan was doing. They said take it to the dealer for inspection adn they will make the judgement call. I took it to Autoway Nissan in Clearwater, FL, where I bought the truck. They gave it a quick once over and checked a recall on it while I was there. The said the truck was in great shape and told me of some routine maintenance I should probably need at my mileage range. They claimed they were taking pictures that they were sending to corporate to see what they wanted to do. Funny, corp said they would make the judgement call.

Anyway, the tech tells me I was ok on the recall and Nissan probably wasn't going to do anything about the bedliner. Already balking at the service, I knew I was probably going to have to fight Nissan about this. He saif they would call in a week. I'm still waiting for a call from the dealer. Customer service finally called me back, and let me know they were sorry but they weren't going to do anything because of the mileage.

This is a great ploy to get out of servicing their problems, by pointing out your mileage and by not issuing a recall and releasing TSBs instead. This is just like the problem with the brakes which they really didn't want to fix either, they release TSBs (technical service bulletins) to get around it. If you're smart enough to do some research and find out about these, you can sometimes get them to do the fixes. Well they so no go with my bedliner because it's over the mileage warranty. I told them that was bull, it's not a mileage issue, it's bad materials and workmanship, and they know it because of the 3 TSBs they've had to release. And the bubbling I have is worse than anything mentioned in their TSBs.

They tried to balk at replacing the black decals between the front and back side windows because mine got very hot and guey, and tore. At first they were, "oh we don;t have problem with that." Next thing I know, "Oh yeah, we areseeing a lot of that out west." The replacement stickers didn;t even work right and they ended up spray painting it instead. They need to fess up with the bedliner problem and fix them all, regardless of mileage. As it continues to bubble, the bedliner will eventually start peeling off which will in turn lead to rusting of the physical bed, if it hasn;t already. From what I've heard, this could be a $2500 repair if I have to take care of it myself. And it's not something I did to the truck.

The Nissan Titan had underengineered brakes that would warp rather quickly. Nissan stepped up and redesigned the brake system and installed an entirely new brake system in my truck at no charge. This included new pads, rotors and calipers on all 4 wheels. Now, 9k miles later and the new brakes are warped. Dealer made note of the problem yet Nissan will not fix them. They say wear and consumable items are only warranteed for 12k/12 months. Well it's been less than that!

2004 Nissan Titan: I was driving down the highway when all of a sudden all the lights on the dashboard lit up and then the truck quit. Nissan service found that the tailpipe section after the muffler fell off and melted the wiring harness and shock absorber. Nissan service indicates that this is not covered under the warranty. This seems like a manufacturers defect. I have read of others having the same exact problem. The truck has been in the shop for two weeks. The cost is going to be over $3,000 to replace all the damaged wires, sensors, internal computer, and shocks that melted.

i have a titan 06 with 35,000miles plus extended warrenty. i took my truck to dealership i had white/blue smoke coming out of my tailpipe. so went to baytown nissan and they found they say slug buildup so they flushed the engine and oil change. still had smoke and then a week a had to put in 5qt. of oil. so i took my truck to baker jackson nissan to try to get it fix. same thing and they wanted me to get my paper work on all the oil services that i had done.

so i collected all the ones i could get and one of the places i get the oil change from does not keep files past a month, just your last chang and the next change. so i faxed it to the and later that day warrenty had denied me. ok i still under 36,000 miles and the truck is 2 years old and plus i have the extended warrenty 100,000mile -10 yrs. so whats the reason for warrenty if they dont live up to it? whats next what should i do?

On 7/10/05 I leased a 2005 Nissan Titan from Stanley Nissan in Fairbanks at the above address. The vehicle I was looking at had a special package that included a GPS and XM radio. The pkg increased the price by approx. 4,500 dollars. I verified that the gps and xm radio would not work here in fairbanks because of satalite availability. I was told by the manager at that time that he had contacted someone higher up in Nissan who sent him the unit that it would be working by December. I leased the vehicle with that understanding. I ask periodically throughout my 3 yr lease period when would the satalite be available. I was told the first couple of years that it was coming.

The last year I was told that they had upgraded to another system. My lease ended 7/10/08 and I asked for some redress for the equipment I paid for and never received. I have only burned more fuel hauling it around. Nissan ran my request up through the commities and finaly came up with their final offer which was the price of a portable navagation system of 500 dollars. They called a goodwill offer. I have refused that offer.

I have paid for something that I didn't receive. The economic damage is the difference in the payment amount for 36 months for the package that included the GPS and XM radio. I would be satisfied if they would deduct the price I was charged for the equipment that still doesn't work from the buyout price. I want to purchase the vehicle if they will treat me fairly.

I have a 2004 Nissan Titan that has had 2 rear ends replaced and the drive shaft 1 time. Also had the break problem so many are having. Recently on the way home from wv. the trucked just stopped running on route 68 outside of Cumberland. Had to be towed to Nissan dealer where I was told the exhaust had rusted and a bolt had come off resulting in the melting of my wiring harness which is not under warranty. The truck was in the shop in May for the driveshaft and it seems to me if there was rust they should have spotted it then.

This truck has been a lot of trouble and Im still not sure theres not a problem with rear end and breaks. Any ideas or suggestions? The truck is still in Cumberland after 2 weeks. Also has had to have new tires very early in my opionion. Have been without my truck on several occasions. Had to pay for someone to come and tow my trailor home from Cumberland. The estimated bill for the wiring problem is at around 1400.

I had just bought a used 2004 Nissan Titan with only 30,000 miles on it. My husband was just driving back home and the tailpipe fell off. There was no apparent reason why the tailpipe fell off; my husband didn't run anything over and the road was smooth. The hot tailpipe then melted the rear wiring harness and this resulted in the ECM and mass airflow sensor to short out. The extended warranty will not cover this because the exhaust is considered to be a regularly maintained part (like brakes and filters!!!) Doesn't make much sense since the exhaust doesn't require regular maintenance.

I have a very expensive SUV that has every probleum you can think of.(2004)Nissan Armada. I was told that again our car needed a 1400.00 repair due to a part that was updated, not recalled. although when this part failed it caused totaL LOSS OF POWER and that could end in an accident or even death to one of us. How do I get this labeled right so I am not responsiable for this type of repair.

I have a 2004 Nissan Titan S.E. 4 W.D. It has had a front end shake sense it was new that transfers to the steering wheel . The tires would not stay in contact with the road after encountering uneven road surfaces ! I have now fixed this problem ! ! ! I had my service manager install Bilstein shocksF4BE5B624HO for the rear and F4BE5B623HO for the front. We now have better control , handling and a smoother ride ! ! ! The front end alignment must also be redone. JOE

Re: How is Everyones Overall Paint ?

I have a 2006 Titan (16,000 miles), which I love, but I noticed that I keep getting paint scratches that should not be there. I really take care of this vehicle. I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 120,000 miles that has been off road that has fewer scratches than the Titan. Same with my 2001 Honda. After reading the forum posts, it seems as if Nissan has a problem with the overall paint job on the Titans. Does anyone have any suggestions? I suggest that we call the automotive and general media (newspaper consumer advocates) if Nissan does not offer a solution. If Nisson wants the same reputation for shoddy paint jobs as General Moters and other American companies, so be it. But it's a shame, the overall product is quite

I have also had the recurring brake problem with my truck. I had the service bulletin change out of brake drums, rotars, etc. aftger going through the 3 times of service work. Now I ma having a problem with the left from brake.

They are telling me it is a different problem and not under warranty. It does the shuddering, vibrating and over-heating. Last month when I took it in, they replaces shims, this month when the exact same thing happened, they tell me it is the caliper sticking. Est. $800+ cost. This is still a brake system problem. I am now worried if it will continue and when will the other wheel start up.

I do not feel safe driving this vehicle anymore. I have been lucky that I have been close to the dealership and able to get there without loss of the braking system. I may not be that lucky next time.

My Nissan Titan and thousands of others has the factory installed truck bed liner bubbling off. After three months of work with Dealer and Nissan the have not fixed it. They say the problem is so huge and they only have one vender in Miami to do the fix, they cannnot get to mine. They promised a fix in one month, it has been three and counting. They have defective truck bed liners and are not stepping up to the problem, plus we paid $1,000 extra for a special cargo system that requires the bed to not be defective.

I purchased the truck in April 2005. Months afterwards I received a recall notice regarding the defective rotors. When I had 7,500 miles on the vehicle I started to experience the brake judder with temporary loss of control at freeway speeds. I had the vehicle serviced at the local dealership and have had no problems until this last weekend. I was driving in a residential neigborhood, at slow speeds, thankfully. When I came to a stop sign I applied the brakes and the pedal went right to the floor. I then heard a clicking noise in the dash and then a quick shudder of the suspension, which I assume may have been something to do with the ABS. I immediately took the vehicle to the dealer. I was called two days later and was told that there was no problem with the brakes and that I should pick up the vehicle. I called Nissan Consumer Affairs and requested assistance. I heard back from them the next day, with the same story as the dealership. This all occured over 100 miles from my home. The vehicle is still sitting at the dealer, 100 miles from home. I've informed them that I refuse to put myself or others at risk because of an obvious defect in their product. I will not pick up this vehicle until they have located and corrected the problem. I am still researching the issue, any advice would be helpful.

I purchased an '04 Nissan Titan new. I started noticing a noise while pressing my brakes. On 06/7/05 I took the truck to Superior Nissan about the brake problem. I was told nothing was wrong and they applied Stop Squeal to the brakes. On 8/24/05 I took the truck to a tire service shop to have a flat tire repaired. They informed me that the brake pads had worn away and was starting to damage the rotor. They told me I should have had a squealing noise to warn me that the brakes were worn. I told them I did but Nissan said there was nothing wrong.

By this time the mileage on the truck had surpassed the warranty on brake pads. So I had no choice but to have the independent service center repair the brakes. About a week after that, I got a letter in the mail informing me of a brake recall on the Titan. I called Nissan and they did replace the brakes, but I told them about taking it in prior to this and being turned away by Nissan, then having to pay out of my pocket for the damage.

Customer service said they would reimburse me for the money if I provided them with copies of receipts, proof of payment and registration. I faxed all of this to them. A month or so went by and I called them. They said the proof of payment was illegible and to resend. I did so and again, month or so went by and I had to call them back. They told me they to send it again, which I did. Now several months have passed and I haven't seen a reimbursement check and am getting no response from Nissan. I am just sick of dealing with them.

Each time I call, I get someone who talks to me like they are a robot, ensuring me they will take care of it. But they never do, they don't call, I have to call them. I am so frustrated, there's no one to call. I am always directed to customer service robots who do absolutely nothing. What can I do but be a victim to an enormous company like Nissan?

Problem with Nissan Titan 2004. We were traveling in our Nissan Pickup truck w/approx. 28,000 miles on it, when my husband attempted to brake, the vehicle began swaying violently out of control, the brake pedal went to the floor and we proceeded to turn 180 degrees facing north on the shoulder of the southbound lane. We were towing our Jayco 23' travel trailer; the trailer jack-knifed and hit our vehicle.

NYS Police called a tow truck because our vehicle's brake pedal went to the floor and was not driveable. In the fall Nissan sent a letter to truck owners regarding a brake judder condition extending the warranty period. Upon receipt of this letter, we requested that our local dealer address the issue; we were told until we experienced the judder problem, they would not address it. Since that time, we have had our tires rotated, oil changed, and NYS Inspection in December.

Nissan was aware of an existing problem and had ample opportunity to repair it! We are so very lucky to be alive! There is no recall on this vehicle! We fear that someone will get maimed or killed.

Have a 2005 Nissan Titan SE 4X4, purchased in March of this year. Had problems with the back up sensors not working. The vehicle was taken to Crown Nissan in Greenville, SC twice for repairs and the repairs were completed on the second visit.

Subsequently, due to the back-up sensors failing, I hit a tree backing up. The damage to my vehicle was repaired and paid for by me, a cost of $662.58. I have asked Nissan to reimburse me for this cost as it is a direct result of a malfunction of the vehicle. Erica with Nissan has told me that they accept no responsibility.

I bought a 2004 Nissan Titan. Back in Nov. of 2004. This truck did not have the towing package, but it did have a tow hitch on it. I've had 3 rear differentials replaced and when the 4th differential blew Nissan gave me a brand new 2005 Nissan Titan. The first differential on the 04 blew at 6,000 miles and then each differential after that took about 3,000 mile to blow (so at roughly 9,000, and 12,000 then was given the new truck).

After I received my 2005 Nissan Titan (this truck did have the Tow Package on it) I put roughly 7500 miles on it and the Rear Differential then blew in this truck. Nissan repaired once again and when I told them I did not want the truck back they told me I had no choice and I would have to go to lemon law arbitration (which I can't do because it is a new vehicle). The only items I've towed with either vehicle is a 5,000lb. U-haul and a 3,500lb. snowmobile tailer. The truck's towing capacity is 9,400 lbs.

Nissan has some very large Quality Control issues at their factories and they are not owning up to it. I now own a $34,000 truck that I can't get rid of without taking a large loss. I just received the truck back and have roughly 9,200 miles on it. I am waiting for next rear differential to break in the next 1,000-2,000 miles. Nissan did take the 2004 Titan back as defective. It was returned about 3 months ago for my new 2005. The old Titan is still sitting in my dealership's parking lot waiting for Nissan to come and pick-up. Wouldn't it make sense for Nissan to send out their R&D team to get it and find out what the problem is.

I bought a Titian truck on January 31st of this year. I started having problems with the brakes last month (June). The dealership (Hunt Nissan) had my truck for ten days. When I got the truck back the emergence brake did not work and the brakes were mushy. There needs to be a recall on the 2005 Nissan Titian because the break system is very dangerous!

I traded the Titian on July 11, 2005 because I didn't feel the truck was safe. Something needs to be done! There are many trucks out there with this problem. So many trucks have this problem, that the dealerships are having trouble getting parts. The problem is a three stage fix. Why is this not in the news?? Why haven't we been informed about this problem? I am incredibly disappointed with the way Nissan has handled this problem. My family’s safety is more important than their bottom line!

Bought a Nissan 04 Titan truck 9 months ago. Truck has been in shop 4 times for brakes not working correctly. The whole front end shakes when brakes are used. I explained that the truck was very unsafe to drive -- their comment was not their problem, they did not have the equipment or parts to fix.

Buying the vehicle for recreational use of pulling camper. The past two weekends we were scheduled to go camping but with the brakes on the truck it is not safe to pull camper. It is unsafe to drive at all, but it is the only transportation.

I leased a Nissan Titan in March, 2004. By June - 5,500 miles, the front brake rotors were warped, pads glazed. It was necessary to have the front break pads replaced and the front brake rotors machined.(I love paying $500 to lease a brand new truck, that shakes when I brake) September - 8,848 miles, the front brakes were glazed and warped causing judder again. This time the caliper torque members were replaced, caliper slides and bolts replaced and brake pads and brake rotors. (But hey! check out those convienent service hours). 11 miles later, after driving the truck off the lot from this service, (or if you prefer 8,859 miles) the truck still vibrated. TO MY SURPRISE? CAUSE: rear rotors warped. The rotors were resurfaced and the rear breaks were cleaned.

Today, 1/27/05 Truck is in the shop again - For yes you guessed it, shaking when braking.

I live down a dirt road that is usually in poor repair. It has that washboard ride to it and when it rains parts of the road wash out. After owning the Nissan Titan (4x4 off road and towing package) for six months the tail pipe fell/vibrated off. This resulted in the exhaust being vented on the wiring harness. The heat from the exhaust melted the wiring harness, dust cover for the shock, ABS sensor, and shorted out the electronics in the truck.

I contacted Nissan and they said that it looked like someone removed it so it wasn't covered under warrenty. NOTE: I live 11 miles from town (pop less than 5000) in a housing development that has 5 acre wooded lots. And I have three yard dogs someone would have to have gotten by to steal a tail pipe.

When I asked them why someone would steal a tailpipe (come to my yard with wrenches and crawl under the truck, they didn't have an answer, but refused to accept the common sense of it (tailpipe) vibrating off. Nissan has this tail pipe bolted on to the muffler instead of welding it to the muffler - which would make more sense for an off-road package.

Replacement of parts in excess of $1,300.00
