  I DRIVE DAILY ON UNLIT ROADS, AND THIS PROBLEM FREQUENTLY OCCURS. MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN'S AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING CONTROLS RESPONSE TO CHANGE IS SLOW WITH HEADLIGHTS ON (10-15 SECONDS TO MOVE FROM FLOOR TO DEFROST), CAUSING A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN NEEDING TO DEFROST AT NIGHT. NISSAN INDICATED THIS SAFETY PROBLEM IS THE RESULT OF POOR DESIGN FOR TITANS SINCE THE ENGINEERS CHOSE TO USE THE VARIABLE VOLTAGE FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT RHEOSTAT TO POWER THE HVAC CONTROLS. THIS 15 SECOND DELAY CAUSES A SAFETY PROBLEM SINCE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT SINCE THE DRIVER MAY BE UNAWARE THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS FOGGED UNTIL ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMES INTO VIEW. WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN MODES (IN THIS CASE, HEAT TO DEFROST), BY THE TIME AIR BEGINS TO BLOW OVER THE WINDSHIELD, THE TRUCK HAS TRAVELED 1100 FEET WITHOUT ME BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD (AT 50 MPH). THIS HAS MADE ME RUN OFF THE ROAD, OR NEARLY RUN OFF THE ROAD, NUMEROUS TIMES (AT LEAST 10 THAT I REMEMBER). THE ONLY OTHER OPTION IS TO TURN THE INSTRUMENT PANELS TO FULL BRIGHT WHICH BLINDS ME DURING NIGHTTIME DRIVING (JUST AS UNACCEPTABLE AS A FOGGED WINDSHIELD). NISSAN CURRENTLY HAS NO REPAIR FOR THIS MALFUNCTION. *NM

  TRAVELING 20 TO 25 MPH, UP A HILL, IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD "BANG". THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED TO THE RIGHT, STRIKING A TREE. NEVER WOULD YOU EXPECT A VEHICLE TO BRAKE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO THROW YOU INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I BELIEVE THAT THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL ISSUED. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND TRANSFER CASE HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE FRONT AXLE HAD BACKED OUT RESULTING IN FLUID LEAKING OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT HAD BEEN REDESIGNED. *TR

  MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAS AN AXEL SEAL FAILURE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR, DIFFERENTIAL FLUID IS LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKES CAUSING REDUCED BRAKING AND ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR AXLE/DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. NISSAN REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS DESIGN FLAW. THEY HAVE A RE-ENGINEERED REPLACEMENT AXLE SHAFT AND SEAL AT A COST OF ABOUT $800 PER SIDE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL NOT $1600 OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX. WILL NISSAN AND NTSB WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE FATALITIES BEFORE THEY ADDRESS THIS COMMON ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN TITANS? *TR

PERFORMED QUICK INSPECTION ON SIDE OF ROAD & SAW NOTHING, CONTINUED TRIP & NOTICED BAD RIDE FROM SUSPENSION. REINSPECTED AFTER ARRIVING HOME & FOUND THAT ONE OF THE LEAF SPRING SHACKLES HAD SNAPPED IN TWO AND THREW THE LEAF SPRING INTO THE BED OF THE TRUCK CAUSING A HOLE IN THE BED. THE FAILED SHACKLE ALSO CAUSED EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO THE SHOCK ABSORBER CAUSING IT TO FAIL ALSO. REPLACED THE SHACKLES AND SHOCKS BUT STILL HAVE A BAD RATTLE COMING FROM REAR END. AARG!!!! *TR

• 12/06/2011· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I OWN A 4X4 LOADED 2006 TITAN LE WHICH IS MY PRIMARY FAMILY VEHICLE. AROUND 80K, ECM MODULE WENT OUT CAUSING CAR TO STALL OUT AND LOSE ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC (WITH MY KIDS). LUCKY NOT TO BE NAILED BY AN ON-COMING CAR, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MODULE WAS REPLACED DUE TO RECALL. ONE WEEK LATER WHILE VACATIONING IN THE MOUNTAINS THE BATTERY RANDOMLY FRIED, WE REPLACED IT. HOWEVER IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING, THE ANTI-THEFT ALARM WOULD RANDOMLY SOUND OFF, THE DVD PLAYER WOULDN'T WORK (HASN'T WORKED SINCE), THE SUNROOF WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND WOULDN'T OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY. ONCE WE RETURNED, THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG (EXCEPT THE DVD PLAYER, WHICH NO ONE COULD EXPLAIN). ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE FOUND THAT THE FIRST CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD BLOWN..FOLLOWED NOT LONG AFTER BY CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND THE DRIVERS SIDE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BAD..DEALERSHIP WANTS $3000 JUST FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS!!! I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPLACEMENT! THIS CLEARLY IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND NOT A ISOLATED CASE, NISSAN MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! I HEAR RUMORS OF A CLASS ACTION...IT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!! I'M HOPING THEY DO THE RIGHT THING AND JUST FIX IT, WITHOUT HAVING TO GET LAWYERS INVOLVED. *TR

  WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK IN 2WD I HEARD A VERY LOUD CLUNKING (METAL ON METAL) NOISE COMING FORM THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. AFTER REACHING HOME, I REALIZED THAT THE FRONT AXLE WAS FALLING OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. I JACKED THE TRUCK UP AND DROPPED THE FRONT DIFF PAN. THIS IS WHERE I REALIZED THAT THE CLIPS HOLD IN THE FRONT AXLE HAVE FAILED AND BROKE IN TWO. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, HAD I BEEN TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THE WHEEL CAME OFF. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THIS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

  HAD A RECALL ON THE 2004-2006 AIR BAGS AND TOOK TITAN IN TO UNIVERSITY NISSAN IN FLORENCE, AL. WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL COULD NOT BE COMPLETED ON SOME OF THE 2004-2006 TITANS AND THEY WOULD CONTACT NISSAN TO GET A SOLUTION. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF WAITING I CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND THEN UNIVERSITY NISSAN TRIED AGAIN TO REPROGRAM THE AIRBAGS BUT IT STILL WOULD NOT TAKE. NOW I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS SUSPENDED THE RECALL UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT THEY CAN PRODUCE A PROGRAM TO FIX THIS RECALL. I KNOW, OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM AND NOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ? IF AIR BAGS DECIDE TO GO OFF ON MY VEHICLE, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND THE REPAIRS TO FIX IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY FOR NO REASON ? I NEED MY VEHICLE AND CANNOT PARK UNTIL THEY DECIDE TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE. I NEED SOME HELP IN GETTING THIS RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. IF YOU CANNOT HELP THEN WHERE DO I TURN FOR HELP. EMMETT JONES

BOUGHT SOME GAS TO PUT INTO TANK WHICH STARTED THE TRUCK. HE DROVE TO FILL TANK ! FUEL GAUGE INACCURATELY DISPLAYS FUEL READING. CALLED NISSAN TO INFORMED THEM OF MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A FUEL SYSTEM RECALL. I WAS TOLD I SERVICED MY TRUCK WITH THIS RECALL WHICH I TOLD CORPORATE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL SYSTEM. I ALWAYS ASK FOR OLD PARTS BUT WAS NOT PROVIDED. TODAY, I TOOK MY TRUCK TO PICAYUNE NISSAN TO GET INFO ON COST, DIAGNOSTICS FOR CORPORATE FOR THEM TO MAKE DECISION TO APPROVE THIS RECALL WORK. I SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE DEALERSHIP SENDS USED PARTS TO CORPORATE BECAUSE THEY PAID FOR WORK. I ASK I SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO INSPECT OLD WORN PARTS?!

  EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY TITAN (3-3-06) I NOTICED A WHINING NOISE AT SPEED WHEN I LET OFF OF THE GAS. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS TIRE NOISE. WELL ON NOVEMBER 15, 2006 I NOTICED A REAL BAD GRINDING/WHINING NOISE WHEN I DECELERATED. THERE WAS ONLY 6900 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A MECHANIC RODE WITH ME UP THE STREET AND BACK AND SAID THAT MY TRUCK HAD PROBLEMS. I LEFT THE TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP OVERNIGHT AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR END. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT MY TRUCK HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE I EVEN BOUGHT IT AND THAT THE WHINING NOISE I ALWAYS HEARD WAS THE REAR END AND NOT THE TIRES. *NM

  2006 NISSAN TITAN DIED IN PARKING LOT ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 1ST, STARTED RIGHT UP. ON MONDAY, AUGUST 2ND, DIED IN BANK DRIVE THROUGH, TOOK ABOUT 8-10 MINUTES TO GET STARTED, THEN ONLY "CHUGGED". WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF DRIVE THROUGH LINE AND TO PARKING SPOT. TURNED ENGINE OFF FOR 20 MINUTES, STARTED UP AND WENT BACK TO WORK. AT 5:00 ON THAT DAY, WOULD NOT START. TRIED FOR 30 MINUTES. HUSBAND HAD FRIEND TOW IT HOME AND THEY CHECKED THE SPARK PLUGS AND A FEW THINGS WITH NO LUCK. ON AUGUST, 4TH, HUSBAND TOWED THE TRUCK TO THE CLAY COOLEY NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEIR TEST SHOWED IT TO BE THE IPDM SENSOR OUT. THIS PART WAS REPLACED AND TRUCK WAS FIXED. THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR WAS $306.16. I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THAT THIS SENSOR HAS BEEN RECALLED ON TITANS PRODUCED FROM 2004 TO JUNE 2006. ACCORDING TO CLAY COOLEY NISSAN, MY TRUCK WAS PRODUCED IN APRIL 2006; ACCORDING TO NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS RECALL WAS EFFECTIVE FROM 2004 TO MARCH 2006. THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. THIS PART WAS RECALLED AND IT WENT OUT ON MY TRUCK. I PLAN TO KEEP FOLLOWING ON THIS ISSUE UNTIL I GET MY 306.16 REFUNDED. *TR

  SITTING OVERNIGHT WITH TEMPERATURE IN THE 40'S, WHEN PUTTING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE,IT WOULD KEEP DROPPING OUT OF GEAR. THE TRUCK DROVE FINE WHEN MANUALLY SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS. PROBLEM CONTINUED FOR MOST OF A YEAR BUT DID NOT GENERATE AN ERROR CODE. FINALLY DEVELOPED AN ERROR CODE INDICATING PROBLEM IN FIRST GEAR OF THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY WITH TCM. THIS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF VALVE BODY INTERNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH HAD BEEN CONTAMINATED BY AN UNDETECTABLE RADIATOR TO TRANS COOLER LEAK ALSO REQUIRING THE RADIATOR TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM, FOR WHICH NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING, OTHER THAN PUTTING A SPECIAL COATING ON BOLTS INTERNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION TO DETECT THE PRESENCE OF COOLANT. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. IT COULD BE EASILY PREVENT BY THE INSTALLATION OF A SEPARATE TRANSMISSION COOLER. *TR
