  DRIVING DOWN OUR SNOW-COVERED STREET WE LIVE ON, I TRIED TO ENGAGE 4HI. ALL I HEARD WAS A GRINDING NOISE. AFTER STOPPING I TRIED THE 4HI SWITCH AGAIN AND IT SEEMED TO ENGAGE. I DIDN'T THINK ANYMORE ABOUT IT UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN I NOTICED A BIG PUDDLE OF OIL ON DRIVEWAY. THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT AXLE HALF-SHAFT IS FLOPPING AROUND LOOSE AT THE DIFFERENTIAL, AND ALL THE DIFF OIL HAS LEAKED OUT. NISSAN SAYS THE WHOLE DIFF NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. APPARENTLY A C-CLIP INSIDE THE DIFF IS EASILY BROKEN AND IT LETS THE HALF-SHAFT POP OUT OF POSITION, AND AS IT TURNS AND FLOPS AROUND IT DESTROYS THE SEALS AND DIFF CASE. SEARCHING THE INTERNET ON THIS FAILURE SHOWS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME FAILURE, AND IF THE C-CLIP GETS STUCK IN THE GEARS IT CAN LEAD TO DIFF BREAKING INTO CHUNKS. NO REAL FIX EXCEPT TO REPLACE THE DIFF. PUSHING THE HALF-SHAFT BACK INTO THE DIFF WON'T WORK AS THE C-CLIP IS NEEDED TO RETAIN IT, AND THE C-CLIP TYPICALLY CANNOT BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE DIFF CASE IS DAMAGED. *TR

• 12/28/2014· SERVICE BRAKES

  WHILE DRIVING, RED "BRAKE" DASH WARNING LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON. TRUCK'S BRAKES THEN HAD LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY & WERE HARD TO USE. THEY PUSHED A WAYS DOWN, HAD CRUMMY STOPPING POWER, MADE GRINDING NOISES, AND A VIBRATION WHEN TRYING TO USE THEM. I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY STOP. I SHUT OFF TRUCK AND RESTARTED IT. THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND BRAKES ACT NORMALLY. AFTER BRAKING AGAIN A SHORT TIME LATER, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. I ONCE AGAIN WAS ABLE TO RESET THE LIGHT BY SHUTTING OFF THE TRUCK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS IT JUST SUDDENLY HAPPENS AND YOUR BRAKING ABILITY GOES TO "POOP" WHEN DRIVING. AFTER THIS HAPPENED TO ME, I SEE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON-LINE IN VARIOUS FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY NISSAN OR A GOVERNMENT RECALL. THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY FIXED THE BRAKE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. HOWEVER, A WEEK LATER, THE CONSUMERS NEPHEW WAS DRIVING WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN, AND HE DROVE INTO A DITCH. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY CLAIMED THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW PUMP/DELTA STOKE SENSOR. UPDATED 02/23/15

• 12/28/2013· SERVICE BRAKES

  WHILE DRIVING THE SLIP, VDC AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALL ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK EVENTUALLY DID STOP BUT I CAME CLOSE TO HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE READ AND RESEARCHED THOROUGHLY ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN CALIFORNIA REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR WHERE I HAVE ALMOST COMPLETELY LOST MY BRAKES. NISSAN NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM MAY BE A DELTA STROKE SENSOR THAT IS HOUSED WITHIN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I HAVE NOT REPLACE THIS YET AS I AM NOT SURE IF THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM AND IT IS QUITE EXPENSIVE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE OUT THERE. *TR

ADDITIONALLY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH DRIVER SIDE DOOR REFUSING TO OPEN FROM BOTH THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. DEALER HAS REALIGNED DOOR NUMEROUS TIMES BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES. DEALER STATES THE DOOR PROBLEM IS DUE TO A POOR DESIGN WITH A HEAVY DOOR ON INADEQUATE HINGES. OCCASIONALLY HAVE HAD TO DRIVE WHILE HOLDING DOOR CLOSED. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONSIDERING WEIGHT OF DOOR. THIS TRUCK IS BARELY ONE YEAR OLD AND PROBLEMS JUST KEEP PILING UP WITH LITTLE DEALER SUPPORT OFFERED.*JB

  I WAS DRIVING LIKE NORMAL CAME TO A FOUR WAY STOP LIGHT AT A BUSY HIGHWAY INTERSECTION, STOPPED AND PRECEDED TO GO WHEN IT WAS MY TURN. MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL GRENADED AND I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY I NEW I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND I PUT MY TRUCK INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND LET MY FRONT TIRES PULL ME THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I THEN PULLED OVER TO A SAFE SPOT AND LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE. GEAR OIL ALL OVER MY TRUCK AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS FORTUNATE TO REACT QUICKLY. BUT THIS REALLY COULD HAVE BEEN BAD. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MY DEALER AND IT COST ME $3500 FOR A NEW REAR END. THEY (NISSAN DEALERSHIP) REPLACED THE WHOLE AXLE ASSEMBLY. THEY TOLD ME NISSAN WOULD ONLY LET THEM REPLACE THE WHOLE THING AND NOT JUST THE GEARS. FISHY IF YOU ASK ME. A NORMAL REAR DIFFERENTIAL FIX SHOULD COST LESS THAN $1000.

THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP STATED THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED UPGRADING. THE SALEMAN ALSO NOTED THAT THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BREAKS IN THE NISSAN TITANS AND ARMADAS. THEY UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE. THE PROCESS WAS CALLED " MISC REPROGRAM VDC WITH UPDATE" WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR. THEY FIXED THE ISSUE FOR THAT OCCURENCE. THE BREAKS WORKED UNTIL YESTERDAY, DEC 13, 2006 WHEN THE BREAKS DID THE SAME THING, CAUSING ME TO RUN OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID REAR ENDING INTO ANOTHER CAR.

  I AM IN THE MILITARY STATIONED IN VIRGINIA... I HAD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END OF MY TRUCK PRIOR TO THANKSGIVING. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE U JOINTS ARE GOING BAD. DIDN'T SOUND LIKE A U JOINT, SO I ASKED NISSAN WOULD IT BE OK FOR ME TO DRIVE THE TRUCK 440 MILES EACH WAY TO GO HOME TO WV TO SEE MY FAMILY FOR THANKSGIVING AND THEY SAID YES, IT WILL BE FINE. SO I GO HOME AND SAW MY FAMILY, AND THEN THE SATURDAY MORNING AFTER THANKSGIVING I GOT UP EARLY AND WENT AND STOPPED AND GOT GAS. GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT UP AND WHEN TO PUT IT IN GEAR, AND THE WHOLE REAR END JUST GRINDED. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE JUST TO DRIVE TO MY SISTER HOUSE AND CALLED NISSAN. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK FOR 14 DAYS, AND ORDERING A NEW REAR END FOR A 2 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK, THEY DECIDED THAT THEY COULD NOT GET A NEW REAR END DUE TO NATION BACKORDER, SO THEY PULL ONE OFF OF A 06 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 AND THEN I GOT TO RETURN BACK TO VA TO ASSUME MY MILITARY DUTIES, AFTER BEING STUCK IN WV FOR 2 WEEKS. THEY DID GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR, BUT PUT A RESTRICTION ON THE CAR WHEN I COULD ONLY DRIVE 150 MILES A DAY. SO I COULDN'T GO BACK TO WORK IN VA. I DID MISS OUT ON WORK, AND TIME, AND HAD TO USE 2 WEEKS OF MY VACATION DAYS, BUT MOST IMPORTANT, THIS COULD HAVE HAPPEN DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, OR IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND COULD HAVE PUT MY LIFE & OTHERS AROUND ME AT DANGER! NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM, OR FIX IT RIGHT. BEFORE PEOPLE DIE! THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *JB
