2004 Nissan Titan

TRANSMISSION COOLER HOSE LEAK CAUSED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS, BUT I NEVER SAW IT OR WAS MADE AWARE OF IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AND I GOOGLED IT. THE SPRING CLAMP FAIL. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS REPLACING THE 2 SPRING CLAMPS WITH SCREW CLAMPS WOULD SAVE A RUINED TRANSMISSION. SEAMS TO BE A BIG ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE FATALITY IF FAILURE HAPPENS ON INTERSTATE. *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE AT AN INTERSECTION THE BRAKES FAILED. THE "BRAKE" LIGHT CAME ON, IT MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND I HAD NO BRAKES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND AFTER CHECKING THE COMPUTER FOR EMBEDDED CODES HE FOUND TWO CODE FAILURES (C1104 & C1179). I HAVE GOOGLED THESE PROBLEMS AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY OTHER NISSAN ARMADA AND TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NISSAN NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING TOWING A 33 FT CAMPER. USUALLY TOW AT ABOUT 62 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK CUTS OUT THEN TURNS BACK ON AND "BUCKS". MY LIGHTS ON MY DASH LIGHT UP LIKE A COLOR BLINKING CHRISTMAS TREE. MY SPEEDOMETER GOES ALL THE WAY TO 140 MPH, MY RPMS MAX OUT, MY FUEL GAUGE GOES UP AND DOWN ALONG WITH THE TEMP GAUGE. FURTHERMORE ALL THE GAUGES AND WARNING LIGHTS FLASH OR MOVE IN NO FORM OR FASHION. STEERING GETS STIFF ALONG WITH THE BRAKES BECAUSE THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF. I CONTROLLED THE TRUCK TO AVOID CRASHING IN BETWEEN THE ON AND OFF PERIODS. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THOUGHT IT WAS WIRING FROM CAMPER OR BRAKE CONTROLLER. HOWEVER, OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS FROM ABOUT MID SEPT IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. NOW I CAN'T GO OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY BEFORE THE TRUCK STARTS ACTING UP. THERE IS A BAD ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IN MY PAST EXPERIENCE WITH NISSAN IS THEY ARE RELUCTANT TO SAY ANYTHING IS WRONG AND TO FIX THINGS. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH GO WRONG WITH MY TRUCK FROM BRAKES, ELECTRICAL, AND REAR END UNIT. JUST LAST WEEKEND 20 OCT 12 I TOOK THE TRUCK ON ABOUT A 15 MILE ROUND TRIP AND IT ACTED UP AGAIN. BETWEEN JULY AND SEPT 2012 THE TRUCK WOULD START THE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF IN PARKED POSITION. IT STILL DOES THAT NOW TOO. THE TRUCK IS NOW PARKED UNTIL I FIGURE WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE MEGA BUCKS TO FIX IT! SOMEONE SAID NISSAN HAS A COMPUTER RECALL BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED AND I CONTACTED A DEALER BUT THEY HAVE NOT CALLED BACK. ITS BEEN 3 DAYS NOW. THEY SAID THE DESCRIPTION I GAVE THEM MATCHES THE RECALL?????????? *TR
