I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. ON THANKSGIVING EVENING MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING HOME ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A CLUNK AND LOST ACCELERATION. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO CROSS 3 LANES TO TRY AND GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER. WE NEARLY GOT HIT BY MANY PASSING CARS DUE TO THE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AND SLOWING OF MY TRUCK. AFTER FINALLY TOWING THE TRUCK TO THE SHOP I FOUND OUT THAT, FOR THE SECOND TIME, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT 75000 MILES AND THE SECOND AT 125000 MILES. BOTH TIMES I AM STUCK FOOTING THE BILL. NEEDLESS TO SAY MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION IS STILL SITTING BROKEN UNTIL I AM ABLE TO PAY THE 3500 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKING FOR THE SECOND TIME. BANK 1 SIDE WAS BAD BEFORE THE 80 EMISSIONS WARRANTY WAS UP, HOWEVER DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T DO IT, SO WE PURCHASED ANOTHER OEM MANIFOLD/CAT AND HAD ANOTHER SHOP REPLACE IT. NOW 2 YEARS LATER THAT SIDE HAS FAILED AND IS LEAKING AGAIN. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS FAILED ON THAT SIDE ALSO. NISSAN HAS NOT OFFERED A RECALL. EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKING ALLOWS EXHAUST FUMES TO NOT BE VENTED CORRECTLY AND THE FUMES CAN COME INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND IT SHOULD BE NOTED I'M OUT OF THE 80 K EMISSIONS WARRANTY. THE OEM EQUIPMENT IS NOT UP TO PAR. *TR

TAIL PIPE FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE 2 WEEKS AFTER NISSAN PERFORMED THEIR 27 POINT INSPECTION, WHICH SUPPOSEDLY INCLUDED CHECKING THE MUFFLER, EXHAUST PIPES AND MOUNTINGS. A SECOND NISSAN DEALERSHIP (OUT OF TOWN) INFORMED US THAT THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND WAS ACTUALLY TALKING TO ANOTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNER THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN. THE OUT OF TOWN DEALERSHIP MECHANIC EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE CLAMPS THEY USE TO HOLD THE TAIL PIPE ON JUST BEHIND THE MUFFLER, RUST OFF?? SO WHY DO THEY USE THEM??? UPON RETURNING HOME WE CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT PERFORMED THE 27 POINT INSPECTION (????) HE SKIRTED THE ISSUE THAT THE BOX FOR THE "MUFFLER, EXHAUST PIPES AND MOUNTINGS" INSPECTION WAS CHECKED OFF AS "CHECKED AND OKAY" AND INFORMED US THAT IT WAS A COSTLY FIX. NOTHING WAS DONE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND NO APOLOGIES WERE MADE FOR THE OBVIOUS OVERLOOK OF A RUSTY CLAMP THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT HAD IT FALLEN COMPLETELY OFF, ESPECIALLY TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON A BUSY INTERSTATE ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND, HAD WE NOT HEARD THE CLANGING OF THE PIPE BANGING AGAINST THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, SMOKE ENTERED THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE VENTS. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE, BUT THEY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V284000 (EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:AIR CONDITIONER). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR CENTER THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED THE REPAIR CAUSED THE WIRES TO MELT AROUND THE FAN. THE AUTO CENTER REPRESENTATIVE (WHO WAS ACTUALLY THE ONE FILING THE COMPLAINT) STATED THAT THE RECALL REMEDY DID NOT ACTUALLY REPAIR THE ENTIRE FAILURE. THE REPRESENTATIVE FURTHER STATED THAT THE FAN REPAIR WAS INSUFFICIENT AND THE RECALL NOTICE NEVER DESCRIBED WHAT COULD OVERHEAT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,400 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,300.
DRIVING OFF-ROAD AND SMALL HILLS. FRONT AXLE FAILURE, 4X4 WOULD NOT DISENGAGE, HAD TO TOW IT. IT IS AT THE DEALER PRESENT TIME. GETTING THE RUN AROUND AS FAR AS FIXING GOES. THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOME MECHANIC TO ARRIVE FROM OUTSIDE THE DEALERSHIP TO FURTHER ASSES THE PROBLEM. *TR

410V517000 · Engine And Engine Cooling
Oct 28, 2010
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 6, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL SENDER UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW IMPROVED SENDER CARD. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

ON CERTAIN KING CAB TRUCKS, THE WIRES IN THE HARNESS WERE ROUTED THROUGH THE REAR DOORS AND INTO THE BODY. THESE WIRES MAY BREAK DUE TO OVER BENDING OF THE HARNESS AS THE DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED. THE HARNESS CONTAINS WIRES FOR THE DRIVER SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER AND FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WHICH IS PART OF THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. WIRES FOR THE REAR AUDIO SPEAKERS ARE ALSO CONTAINED N THE HARNESS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE WIRES FOR THE SEAT BELTS AND SPEAKER WIRES BREAK AND MAKE CONTACT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE PRETENSIONER MAY DEPLOY. IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS RETRACTED, IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO USE THE SEAT BELT. IF ONE OF THE WIRES ON THE RIGHT SIDE HARNESS FOR THE SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR BREAKS, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AS DESIGNED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH AND PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIRE HARNESS COVER WITH A DIFFERENT TYPE THAT PREVENTS OVER BENDING OF THE HARNESS AND THE HARNESS WILL BE REROUTED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 19, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
