2004 Nissan Titan

UPON START UP PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ON DASH ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ON, HOWEVER THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT SET. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION THE BRAKES BECAME INEFFECTIVE. THE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND THERE WAS A PULSING SENSATION. IF I HAD NOT BEEN GOING LESS THAN 5MPH I AM UNSURE IF I COULD HAVE STOPPED, I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP AND PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED ALL LIGHTS AND PROBLEMS DISAPPEARED AND BRAKES FUNCTIONED OK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY LOCATED A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND/OR MASTER CYLINDER. *TR

AXEL SEAL LEAK ON A LONG 2,500 VACATION DRIVE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT IF ALL THE GEAR OIL WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST. LUCK IT WAS DISCOVERED SOON ENOUGH THAT I COULD FILL THE DIFF BACK UP. SEALS HAVE BEEN REPLACED PREVIOUSLY AS WELL AS THE WHOLE AXEL ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION. THESE AXEL AND AXEL SEAL PROBLEMS MAY CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT ONE DAY. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 54,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

I OWN AN '04 TITAN AND AN "05 TITAN. BOTH TRUCKS AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AT AROUND 75K MILES. WHEN THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHTS "OFF". THE '05 WAS FIXED UNDER A MANUFACTURERS RECALL. THE '04 HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE WANTING $800 TO FIX IT. *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

ON THE AFTERNOON OF FEB. 25TH, 2010 MY NISSAN TITAN REAR DIFFERENTIAL MADE A LOUD BOOM NOISE. AFTER WARDS, THE WHENEVER THE VEHICLE ROLLED A LOUD WHIRLING NOISE COULD BE HEARD IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE SAID THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS SHOT. AS HE WAS BACKING UP FROM THE TOW TRUCK THE TRUCK MADE A SECOND LOUD POP NOISE. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 40K MILES ON IT. I DO NOT TOW ANYTHING. I DO NOT CONSTANTLY LUG HEAVY ITEMS ON IT. I DON'T PUSH MY TRUCK TO THE LIMIT AT ALL. BUT THIS HAPPENS. AND WORST OF ALL IT HAPPENS WHEN THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY FROM NISSAN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND SHOULD BE FIXED. I HAVE THREE OPTIONS FROM MY MECHANIC. USED FOR A THOUSAND DOLLAR. REBUILD IT FOR 1,200.00 DOLLARS, OR OVER 2000 FOR NEW. AND THIS DOES NOT GUARANTEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM VERY UPSET AT THIS SITUATION. *TR

ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE ROAD DOING 25-35 MPH AND HER 2004 NISSAN TITAN CC SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THEN ENGINE SHUT OFF. SHE CAME TO A STOP AND THE TRUCK RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. ON FEB 26TH, 2010 MY WIFE WAS AT A FRIENDS HOUSE AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START. SHE HAD GIVEN ME THE WRONG DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TRUCK I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A DEAD BATTERY. SO I JUMP STARTED THE TRUCK AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY. ON FEB 27TH, 2010 MY WIFE AND I WERE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT AND THE TRUCK'S ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART AND THIS CAUSED A MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM AND WE WERE ALMOST HIT MY MULTIPLE VEHICLES. LUCKILY A COUPLE BYSTANDERS HELPED DIRECT TRAFFIC AND HELPED PUSH THE TRUCK OFF THE ROAD. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AND NOTHING ELSE WAS VISIBLY WRONG SUCH AS BATTERY OR ANY OTHER COMMON ITEMS. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES THE TRUCK STARTED RIGHT UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH ONLINE THROUGH MULTIPLE NISSAN TITAN FORUMS IT CAME TOP MY ATTENTION THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN ABOUT BY OWNERS FOR SOME TIME. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) IN THE TRUCK WERE FAULTING CAUSING THE ECM RELAY ON THE TRUCK TO STOP WORKING. THE SHORT TERM FIX FOR THIS WAS TO REPLACE THE RELAY. THE LONG TERM FIX FOR THIS IS TO REPLACE THE IPDM. SO I REPLACED THE IPDM AND HAVE NOT SEEN A PROBLEM SINCE. WHEN I WENT TO THE PARTS COUNTER AT KORUM NISSAN IN PUYALLUP TO PICK UP MY $178 PART I ASKED HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE ORDERED THIS PART. I WAS TOLD BY THERE PARTS REP MIKE THAT HE HAS SOLD A LOT OF THESE UNITS FOR VARIOUS REASONS. HE SAID IT WAS A COMMON KNOWN ISSUE BY THE PARTS REPS AND THE SERVICE REPS. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW SUCH A THING COULD BE KNOWN SO WELL BUT NO SAFETY RECALL HAS HAPPENED. MY PROBLEMS WERE RELATIVELY MINOR COMPARED TO OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED SUCH PROBLEMS AT HIGH SPEEDS WHERE DEATH OR INJURY COULD OCCUR. *TR

THE ISSUE I AM HAVING IS WITH MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHEN IT GETS COLD OUT, ALL OF THE DOOR HANDLE FREEZE AND WON'T OPEN. IF YOU ARE LUCKY AFTER A FEW HOURS AND YOU DO GET IT OPEN, YOU CAN'T GET THEM SHUT. SEVERAL TIMES I HAD TO TIE THE SEAT BELT AROUND THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE IN ADDITION TO HOLDING THE DOOR CLOSE SO I COULD GET HOME. I TOOK MY CAR TO RICART NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT WILL $1000 TO FIX ALL 4 DOORS. SO, I CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INJURED AND/OR KILLED. *TR

FRONT AXLE FAILED AT 41,000 MILES WITH ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH INTO 4WD HI ON SNOW AND ICE COVERED STREET DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES PER HOUR. TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AXLE SHAFT SNAPPED AT A MACHINED POINT ON THE SHAFT AND HAD PULLED OUT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING ALLOWING THE GEAR FLUID TO LEAK OUT. DEALER REPLACED THE STUB SHAFT AND INTERNAL PINION GEAR. THIS WAS ONLY THE SECOND TIME I'VE USED THE 4WD. THANKFULLY I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AS IT WAS NOT COVERED BY FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR
