2004 Nissan Titan

I PURCHASED MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN IN APRIL 2010, I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON MAY 6, 2010 AND WAS TOLD MY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE LEAKING. THE WARRANTY IS 8 YR/ 80K, I HAVE 82K ON MY TITAN. THE EXHAUST FUMES LEAK INTO THE CAB CAUSING NAUSEA AND DIZZINESS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER WON'T REPLACE THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. THE REPLACEMENT COST IS $2000.00. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD WARPS AFTER ABOUT 80K MILES, CREATING AN EXHAUST LEAK. IF IT DEVELOPS BEFORE THE 80K MILE EMISSIONS WARRANTY, IT WILL BE COVERED. MOST DEVELOP AFTER THE WARRANTY. I OWN AN '04 AND AN '05 NISSAN TITAN. THE '05 EXHAUST LEAK WAS FIXED AT 78K MILES WITH 1 NEW EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND SOME CROSSOVER PIPING. THE '04 STARTED AT 88K MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT HELPED WITH THE PROBLEM WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ESTIMATING $1300 TO REPAIR. *TR

HEARD EXHAUST LEAK IN ENGINE AT ABOUT 85,000 MILES. MANIFOLD LEAK WAS CONFIRMED AT 101,000 WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. REVIEWED MANY TECHNICAL FORUMS WHERE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS BEING REPORTED AS CRACKED ON COUNTLESS TITANS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, AND THE COST SHOULD NOT BE RELAYED TO THE CONSUMER AT A SIGNIFICANT DOLLAR AMOUNT. *TR

I HAVE AN '04 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB TRUCK. IN EARLIER PART OF '09, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY, MY ENGINE STALLED AND WENT OUT. BASICALLY I WAS JUST ROLLING ON THE HWY UNAWARE THAT THE ENGINE WENT OUT. I REALIZED MY ENGINE WENT OUT WHEN I COULDN'T ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE, AND MY STEERING WAS DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START AFTER THAT. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WOULD CRANK, BUT WOULDN'T TURN, AND AS IF IT WASN'T GETTING FUEL. SEVERAL MECHANICS COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE UNTIL, I LATER LEARNED BY READING UP ON NISSAN FORUM ONLINE, OF SIMILAR CASES, THAT IT WAS AN IPDM FAILURE. I REPLACED THIS PART AND IT WORKED AGAIN. NOW, ITS JAN. 2010, AND IT WENT OUT ON ME AGAIN. THIS TIME, LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HWY, I WAS PARKED AND THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR DIFF SEALS LEAK AND HAS CAUSED A BRAKE FAILURE. I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY REAR END LOCKS UP. IT TOOK A FEW MOMENTS TO GET HER GOING AGAIN IN REVERSE. I JACKED IT UP AND REMOVED THE TIRES AND REMOVED THE ROTORS. THE PAD ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM FAIL OFF. IT STILL HAD PLENTY OF PAD LEFT ON IT. MY FATHER LOOKED AT IT AND NOTICED THE FLUID LEAKING FROM MY REAR END. HE TOLD ME THAT PROBABLY CAUSED THE FAILURE DUE TO THE CONTAMINATION. REPLACED THE PAD AND ADDED SOME OILED TO THE REAR END. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND OTHER BRAKE FAILURES ALSO. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKS ALSO. I AM REPLACING IT TOO. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TITANS. THIS MAY BE OF MORE CONCERN WITH THE EPA. THEY HAVE BEEN KNOW TO CRACK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS ACTIVATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT ONE OF THE SENSORS INSIDE THE AIR CONDITIONER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT SMELLED ANTI-FREEZE AND COOLANT FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER PERFORMED A RADIATOR FLUSH AT THE COST OF $212, WHICH WAS AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE CONTACT ARRIVED HOME AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO COOLANT OR ANTI-FREEZE IN THE VEHICLE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE EXHAUST TAIL PIPE WAS DAMAGED DUE TO AN UNKNOWN OBSTACLE ON THE ROAD SURFACE. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS OPENED, THE PARKING LIGHT ACTIVATED WITHOUT ASSISTANCE AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE TURN SIGNAL WAS NONFUNCTIONAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE TAIL PIPE DISENGAGEMENT CONTRIBUTED TO THE MELTING OF THE WIRING HARNESS. THE VEHICLE IS OPERABLE AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 65,000.

ONLY 65,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND NO MODIFICATIONS. RIGHT REAR SEAL LEAKING, PINION SEAL IS SHOT AND FRONT LEFT AXLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. NOTHING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM LOOKING AT A $3,000 REPAIR BILL ON A 4 YEAR OLD TRUCK THAT HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD AND DOESN'T HAVE HIGH MILES. MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD ALSO CRACKED AT ABOUT 60000 MILES. THIS WAS ABLE TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
