• 12/30/2010· SUSPENSION

  2008 NISSAN TITAN HAS A LARGE KNOCK IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND OR HILLS WHEN DRIVING THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES UNTIL NISSAN FINALLY DECIDED TO POST A TSB. THE TSB STATES TO REPLACE THE FRONT SPRINGS ON 2008-2010 TITANS WITH SPRINGS FROM 2007 TITANS WHICH WILL LOWER THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK BY 1.5 INCHES. MY TRUCK IS NOW AN EYE SORE BY HAVING AN UNBALANCED RAKE WHEN LOOKING AT THE TRUCK FROM FRONT TO BACK AND STILL KNOCKS HEAVILY WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND OR HILLS. NISSAN ADMITS THE ISSUE IS PRESENT BUT STATE THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX. *TR

AT THIS POINT THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED A HARD SHUDDER. II WAS FORTUNATE THAT THE FAILURE DID NOT OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEED AS HE DRIVES 50K PER YEAR ON THE INTERSTATE AND GIVEN THE GRYO TYPE SHUDDER NOW NOTICEABLE AT 30 MPH ONE CAN IMAGINE WHAT A FRAGMENTED DIFFERENTIAL AND LOOSE DRIVE SHAFT MIGHT HAVE DONE.

  I HAVE HAD OVER A DOZEN INSTANCES WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES THE BREAK PEDDLE WOULD PUSH TO THE FLOOR AND YOU WOULD HEAR A LOUD NOISE AS IF THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM WAS FAILING. YOU COULD FEEL IT IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT FRIGHTENS THE HECK OUT OF YOU. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO MY LOCAL PREMIER NISSAN IN METAIRIE, LA AND HAD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOOK AT IT, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND INFORMED THEY COULD NOT HELP. I HAVE HAD MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK AND IT HAS HAPPENED WITH THEM AND MY 16 YEAR OLD SON HAS EXPERIENCED IT AS WELL. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND I'M AFRAID ONE DAY IT WILL FAIL AND I WILL LOOSE THE ABILITY TO STOP MY VEHICLE. AFTER EACH INCIDENT, I HAVE TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT TO STOP THE NOISE FROM COMING FROM THE ABS BREAK SYSTEM. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THAT I HAVE TO TURN MY TRUCK OFF WHILE HAVING A GREEN LIGHT, ON THE INTERSTATE AND ANY OTHER DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WISH I COULD GET SOME CLARITY AS TO FIXING THIS BREAKING ISSUE.

NISSAN IS NOT REPLACING THESE BOLTS ON A RECALL BUT HAVE NOTIFIED DEALERS ON A ATSB.

• 08/17/2010· POWER TRAIN

  THE LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL ON MY 2008 NISSAN TITAN BEGAN LEAKING WITH OUT ME KNOWING IT WAS HAPPENING. THE GREASE WAS THROWN ONTO THE LEFT REAR TIRE OVER AN UNDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME. THE GREASE CAUSED THE RUBBER IN THE TIRE TO SOFTEN AND CAUSED THE TIRE TO BLOW OUT WHILE I WAS TRAVELING @ 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. WHEN THE BLOW OUT OCCURRED PIECES OF THE TIRE BEAT THE FENDER OF THE TRUCK CAUSING $1500 IN BODY DAMAGE. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE AXLE SEAL REPLACED AT A COST $400. FROM WHAT I NOW UNDERSTAND REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE IS VERY COMMON ON THE TITAN TRUCKS YET THERE HAVE BEEN NO RE-CALLS AND/OR NO ACTION BY THE NHTSA TO DEMAND THIS PROBLEM BE CORRECTED. WITH OUT THIS ISSUE BEING PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME COULD EASILY HAPPEN TO OTHERS AND HAVE A MORE NEGATIVE OUTCOME THAN I DID. OF COURSE NISSAN REFUSED TO COMPENSATE ME FOR THE DAMAGE EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THIS IS AND HAS BEEN AN ON GOING DEFECT IN THESE VEHICLES. *TR

• 08/16/2014· POWER TRAIN

  LAST WEEK, I DROVE 6 HOURS TO START VACATION WITH MY FAMILY, AUGUST 2014, WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY NISSAN TRUCK WOULD INTERMITTENTLY START TO SHAKE SLIGHTLY AND ALSO MADE A NOISE LIKE A "JAKE BRAKE" DOES ON A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK. THIS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS EITHER DRIVING 20 MPH UP TO 65 MPH. I ARRIVED AT MY VACATION LOCATION 6 HOURS FROM MY HOME AND TOOK MY NISSAN TITAN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FIRST THING THE NEXT MORNING. AFTER THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED MY PROBLEM, THE SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME AND SAID MY REAR END DIFFERENTIAL WAS GOING OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN, I KNEW I HAD A PROBLEM AND COULD NOT DRIVE MY TRUCK BACK HOME UNTIL THIS WAS REPAIRED. SINCE CAR DEALERSHIPS DO NOT REPAIR CAR PARTS ANYMORE THESE DAYS, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL WOULD COST $3,200.00 PLUS LABOR. THE TOTAL REPAIR CAME TO $3900.00. OUCH! IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP 5 DAYS TO GET THE NEW REAR END DIFFERENTIAL DELIVERED FROM A NISSAN PARTS HOUSE IN THE NORTHEASTERN US AND REPLACED SINCE THEY DID NOT HAVE IT LOCALLY. MY ISSUE IS THIS.....I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT HAD TO HAVE THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED AT 79,000 MILES, NOR HAVE ANY OF MY FRIENDS HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM EITHER! I EVEN CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY DID NOT OFFER ME ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE EITHER WHICH TELLS ME THEY DON'T REALLY STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT!!! I UNDERSTAND IF IT WERE A WATER PUMP, RADIATOR, BRAKES, TIRES, ETC. BUT NOT A MAJOR COMPONENT THAT SHOULD NOT GO BAD AT 79,000 MILES. ONE MORE THING IN CLOSING, I HAVE NEVER USED A TRAILER TO HAUL ANYTHING EITHER WITH MY NISSAN TITAN PICK UP TRUCK. *TR

  AT ALL TIMES WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE REAR END OF MY TRUCK SHAKES FROM 55-80 MILES PER HOUR (PRETTY MUCH THE USABLE SPEED RANGE OF THE TRUCK IS NOW WORTHLESS). THE TRUCK WOBBLES SO MUCH NOW THAT IT FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM I.E. NEW TIRES, NEW RIMS AND NEW TIRES, BALANCING, ALIGNMENTS. RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE HAS DETERMINED THAT THIS IS A VERY WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM AND MANY OWNERS/OPERATORS OF THE NISSAN TITAN REFER TO THIS VIOLENT SHAKING AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" I HAVE SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT NISSAN OF AMERICA IS NOT INTERESTED IN ADDRESSING THIS EPIDEMIC THAT IS EFFECTING SO MANY OF THE TITANS THEY HAVE MANUFACTURED. THE PROBLEM IS LARGE ENOUGH THAT NISSAN HAS PUBLISHED A TSB WHICH INCLUDES NECESSARY PARTS THAT MUST BE PURCHASED THAT MAY ONLY ALLEVIATE THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND NOT CURE IT. I AM SAD THAT NISSAN OF AMERICA IS NOT STANDING BEHIND ITS PRODUCT TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY HAZARDOUS NOT ONLY TO THE OWNER/OPERATOR OF THE TITAN, BUT ALL THOSE THAT ARE SHARING THE ROAD WITH THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES. MY PERSONAL NOTE IS THAT MY TRUCK FEELS SO HAZARDOUS THAT I WILL NO LONGER TRANSPORT MY WIFE OR MY 3 CHILDREN IN IT AND I THINK SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

• 08/12/2013· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED I BELIEVE IN MAY 2010 FOR A FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER TO BE CHECKED AND ALSO REQUESTED THAT THEY CHECK THE HORN AND BACKUP ALARM WHICH WERE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND DID NOT SEEM TO WORK AT ALL TIMES. THEY CHECKED IT OVER AND SAID THEY WOULD ORDER PARTS AND I WOULD NEED ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK THEY REPLACED A HORN RELAY BUT NOTHING ELSE. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE FUEL UNIT AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT CAME IN. HE SAID THE BACKUP ALARM SEEMED FINE. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH I CALLED AND ASKED IF THEY HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT ME, AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE SENDING UNITS COME FROM JAPAN AND ARE MADE AS ORDERED SO IT COULD TAKE A WHILE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS STRANGE SINCE UNDER THE RECALL THEY SHOULD BE STOCKING THE PART BUT I ACCEPTED HIS EXPLANATION. I MAY HAVE CALLED ONE MORE TIME TO CHECK THE STATUS BUT NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THE DEALER. THE GAUGE SEEMED TO BE WORKING SO I THOUGHT I WOULD LIVE WITH IT. IN JANUARY OF 2013 MY TRUCK RAN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THE GAUGE SHOWED I WAS OVER ONE QUARTER FULL. I NOTIFIED NISSAN OF THIS INCIDENT AND WAS CONTACTED VERY QUICKLY. THE REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE WITH SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED AND I SHOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. I INFORMED HIM THAT I HAD MORE THAN ONCE AND THE ISSUE WAS NEVER CORRECTED SO I DID NOT FEEL I COULD GO THERE AND REQUESTED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME IT HAD TO BE REPLACE BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDER BUT DID OFFER TO HAVE ANOTHER DEALER TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS THEN TOLD THE ORIGINAL DEALER WAS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM EITHER OF THEM. DO I HAVE A RIGHT TO GET THIS RECALL ISSUE AND THE WARRANTY ISSUE RESOLVED? *TR

• 08/12/2010· EXTERIOR LIGHTING,INTERIOR LIGHTING,EQUIPMENT

  ON THE 2008 NISSAN TITAN THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. THE HEADLAMPS AND TURN SIGNAL ARE ON THE SAME SWITCH. WHEN SIGNALING A TURN THE HEADLIGHT POSITION CHANGES. WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AS YOU WILL LOSE ALL EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS. IT IS CONFUSING TO THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE AS THE OPERATOR MUST REACT RAPIDLY TO LOCATE THE SWITCH AND REGAIN SOME IDEA OF THE LOCATION OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION OPERATORS OF ONCOMING VEHICLES MAY BE CONFUSED BY THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHING ON/OFF.

  THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM ON THE NISSAN TITAN IS INADEQUATE OR POORLY DESIGNED. MY TRUCK HAS HAD THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED TWICE IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS, WITH MINIMAL USAGE OF THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM, AND UNDER APPROPRIATE CONDITIONS. GRINDING NOISES HAS BEEN FELT AND HEARD FROM THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WHEN ENGAGING INTO 4HI, WHICH IS CAPABLE OF BEING SHIFTED ON THE FLY. WHEN ENGAGING INTO 4HI AND EXPERIENCING NOISES SUCH AS THIS WHILE ALREADY MOVING AT SPEED- 20-30MPH, IT IS RATHER UNSETTLING. TO THE AVERAGE CONSUMER WHO IS NOT A MECHANIC (WHICH I AM) THIS IS PROBABLY EVEN MORE FRIGHTENING TO EXPERIENCE. THE DIFFERENTIAL INSTALLED IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR WAS A REVISED VERSION, TO HAVE SUPPOSEDLY CORRECT ISSUES WHICH MANY TITANS HAVE FACED IN EARLIER PRODUCTION YEARS. THIS DIFFERENTIAL FAILED WITHIN 3 MONTHS. THE TRUCK WAS JUST FIXED LAST WEEK WITH ANOTHER REVISED DIFFERENTIAL, WE'LL SEE HOW LONG THIS ONE LASTS. AFTERMARKET WARRANTY AND DEALER PARTS WARRANTY HAVE COVERED ALL REPAIRS ASIDE FROM A DEDUCTIBLE, HOWEVER SOMEONE NOT WITH THIS WARRANTY WOULD HAVE FACED REPAIRS IN THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS RANGE. WITH MISS-USE I CAN UNDERSTAND PATS FAILING, HOWEVER THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. *TR
