  I PURCHASED A USE 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 IN MAY OF 2010. IN DECEMBER 2010 I WENT TO ENGAGE THE FRONT WHEEL DRIVE DUE TO DRIVING UP A ROAD THAT HAD SNOW AND ICE. AFTER COMPLYING WITH THE DIRECTIONS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL I BEGAN DRIVING UP THE GRADE ONLY TO FIND THAT I HAD NO PULL FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO LOSS TRACTION ON THE ROAD. ONE TIME THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE COMPLETE SLIDE BACK DOWN THE HILL, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DO A COMPLETE 180 DEGREE TURN. DAYS LATER I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND FOUND THE FRONT AXLE HAD BECOME DETACHED. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TITAN THEY HAD SEEN DO THIS AND HAD HEARD THAT TITANS HAD A PROBLEM DETACHING WHEN DRIVEN IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE MODE ON DRY PAVEMENT AND THE VEHICLES WOULD MAKE SHARP TURNS. LUCKILY, MY INCIDENT DID NOT RESULT IN ANY CRASHES, HOWEVER IT DID COME CLOSE TO STRIKING FIXED OBJECTS ALONG THE ROAD. *TR

  THE OTHER DAY I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC FOR ALMOST 30 MIN STOPPED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING (LOTS OF CHRISTMAS TRAFFIC ON THE 5 SOUTH FREEWAY), I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK BECAUSE I NOTICE AN ACCIDENT. I HAD MY WINDOWS UP AND MY CABIN AIR ON. THEN A FEW MIN LATER I STARTED FEELING DIZZY ALMOST FAINTING. THE CAR NEXT TO ME SAW THAT I WAS STRUGGLING, CAME TO MY WINDOW AND ASKED ME IF I WAS OK. I ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOW AND HE NOTICED THE SMELL OF EXHAUST INSIDE MY TRUCK. AFTER MY HEADACHE WENT AWAY. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME BOTH OF MY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED AND THAT'S HOW THE EXHAUST WAS ENTERING NEAR THE FRONT CABIN. *TR

• 12/29/2011· POWER TRAIN

  HAD A BAD SOUND COMING OUT OF FRONT TIRE AREA. NOTICED GREY OIL THE FOLLOWING DAY ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. 70,123 MILES ON IT. TOOK MY '05 TITAN TO MY SERVICE GUY. SAID THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL IS COMPLETELY GONE. GOT IT REPAIRED YESTERDAY, $2100....LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW FOLKS WITH THE SAME ISSUES, MANY FOLKS! SEEMS TO ME NISSAN SHOULD OWN UP TO THIS BEING AN ISSUE WITH THESE MODEL YEAR TRUCKS AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM (IE RECALL) BEFORE ITS A MAJOR ACCIDENT FOR SOMEONE. MY MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE PART NUMBER WAS SUPERSEDED BY ANOTHER NUMBER, MOST LIKELY MEANING THAT NISSAN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE AND THAT'S THEIR WAY OF "CORRECTING" THE ISSUE. ONLY ISSUE NISSAN, CONSUMERS PAY FOR THE ISSUE. MAKES ME WANT TO RE-THINK ABOUT PURCHASING ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT, I HAVE TWO PRESENTLY. *KB

• 12/28/2013· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

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

• 12/27/2015· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  CERTAIN 2005 NISSAN TITANS WERE RECALLED IN CAMPAIGN #10V074000 DUE TO THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWING THAT THERE WAS FUEL REMAINING WHEN THE TANK WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THIS OCCURRED TO MY VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2013. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND I LOST POWER STEERING. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO TURN WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO LEAVE THE ROADWAY. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN, THEY DECLARED MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WAS NOT AFFECTED ALTHOUGH I WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

• 12/27/2010· POWER TRAIN

  FAILED REAR END DIFFERENTIAL AT ONLY 75,000 MILES. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN A LOUD BANG CAME FROM THE REAR END. MADE IT HOME, BUT MORE POPPING AND BANGING NOISES ALONG THE WAY, ESPECIALLY TURNING UNDER ACCELERATION. DRAINED REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID AND REMOVED COVER, METAL CHUNKS AND SHAVINGS IN CASE. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE "BIG TOW" PACKAGE ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED TO TOW ANYTHING. IT HAS BEEN MOSTLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND OFF ROAD VERY INFREQUENTLY AND NEVER HEAVY-DUTY OFF ROAD. IT IS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE FAILED REAR END DID NOT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOCK THE REAR AXLE AND CAUSE A SEVERE ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE, AND IN MY OPINION IS DUE TO A FAULTY LOCKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL. NISSAN WILL NOT ADMIT THIS, BECAUSE THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. NOW THAT THE 2005 MODEL YEAR TRUCKS ARE GETTING A BIT OLDER, THESE FAILURES ARE BECOMING EXTREMELY COMMON AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL ONE FAILS ON THE FREEWAY AND SOMEBODY IS INJURED OR KILLED WHEN THE VEHICLE'S REAR AXLE LOCKS UP DUE TO AN EXPLODED SPIDER GEAR ASSEMBLY.

LOCKED OUT OF TRUCK WHILE CHILDREN IN CAR AND UNABLE TO GET TO THEM BECAUSE ALL DOORS WERE FROZEN. KEEP IN MIND I HAVE NOT WASHED THE TRUCK IN SEVERAL MONTHS.

HOWEVER IF VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY QUOTED ME AT $400+ PER DOOR X'S 4 DOORS. THIS IS UNREASONABLE AND A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MOST OF THE COUNTRY THAT EXPERIENCES WEATHER BELOW 32DEGREES F. IT IS A KNOWN FAILURE THAT NISSAN USA KNOWS ABOUT.

I'M APART OF A NISSAN CLUB/FORUM AND THIS IS A PROBLEM NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVING, 50+ IN CALIFORNIA. SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO GO AFTERMARKET OR EVEN PASS IT ILLEGALLY THROUGH BLACK MARKET CHANNELS. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND RELEASED A REVISED VERSION WHICH STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN IS ROBBING THEIR CUSTOMERS AND NEED TO BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE UNDER THE EMISSIONS LAW AND FOR PUTTING OUT A KNOWN FAULTY PART.

I HAVE TO CRAWL OVER THE PASSENGER SEAT TO GET OUT. I THINK THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IF THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OR IF I GOT STUCK ON TRAIN TRACKS ETC.

  I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB WHICH HAS FAULTY DOOR LATCH MECHANISMS. WHEN TEMPERATURES BECOME NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING SOME OR ALL OF THE DOOR LATCHES FAIL TO OPERATE PROPERLY. WHEN IT OCCURS IT CAUSES THE DOORS TO STAY LATCHED, IF IT OCCURS ON ALL THE DOORS AT ONCE YOU CANNOT GAIN ENTRY TO THE VEHICLE. THEY ALSO MALFUNCTION IN THE OPPOSITE, OPENING BUT NOT LATCHING LEAVING THE DOOR ABLE TO SWING FREE. I BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO MY SERVICE MANAGER AND THEY SAID THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAD HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. THEY APPLIED A GROSS AMOUNT OF SILICONE SPRAY TO THE LOCKING MECHANISM HOPING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DOOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED TWICE SINCE THEN WITH THE COLD TEMPERATURES. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND I FEEL THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY. *NM

  THERE WAS A NOISE FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND AN ODD ODOR. IT ALMOST FELT LIKE A TRANSMISSION SLIP ONCE IN A WHILE DRIVING. I DROVE IT HOME AS THE NOISE WAS GETTING WORSE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEIR TECH DROVE IT OFF THE LOT TO "CHECK IT OUT" AFTER I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WAS GETTING WORSE. THE REAR END BLEW OUT AND SPRAYED FLUID ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE, THE BACK OF THE TAILGATE, EVERYWHERE. THE DEALER JUST SAID IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. PERIOD. THIS TRUCK IS WELL MAINTAINED BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND I AM TOLD THAT THE REAR END/DIFFERENTIAL IS SEALED AT THE FACTORY AND IS NOT A PART OF A MAINTENANCE ITEM. IT IS NOT USED FOR TOWING, OFF ROADING OR ANYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO DRIVES THE TRUCK. I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS HAD IT GONE OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A RATHER COMMON PROBLEM BASED ON THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED. IT IS ALSO AN EXPENSIVE PROBLEM AT $2300.00 IN MY ESTIMATION. I REQUESTED THAT THEY KEEP THE PART FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. *TR

  VEHICLE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED WITH OUT CAUSE. WITH ANY SLIGHT TURN OF THE WHEEL THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP AND A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND WAS HERD AT THE REAR END. NISSAN DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE VENT TUBES CORRODED CAUSING PRESSURE TO BUILD UP IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND THE SPYDER GEAR(S) FAIL. NISSAN WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND DOES NOT SUPPLY REBUILD PARTS FOR THE VEHICLE- THEIR ONLY FIX IS FOR ME TO PURCHASE A NEW REAR AXLE. SEARCHING ON GOOGLE HAS REVIEWED 168,000 HITS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED ISSUE. MY LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP IS UNABLE TO LOCATE A USED REAR AXLE AS DEMAND FOR THESE PARTS IS EXTREMELY HIGH. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT AS A SUDDEN LOCKING OF THE REAR END AT 60 MPH PLUS WOULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL. *TR
