MECHANIC FOUND IT TO BE FULL OF METAL CHUNKS AND SHARDS DUE TO A GEAR FAILURE. THIS THEN LED TO A CHAIN REACTION DAMAGING THE MAJORITY OF THE REAR AXLE COMPONENTS. TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET, BUT NISSAN TELLS ME THAT IT WILL REQUIRE A WHOLE NEW REAR END COSTING ALMOST $4000. I CAN ASK THAT THE SERVICE DEPT. TO HOLD ON TO THE OLD PARTS ONCE THE REPAIRS ARE PERFORMED. *TR

CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH 2005 NISSAN TITAN. CURRENT ISSUE IS FAILING REAR AXLE. I HAVE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I.E. WHINNING, CLUNK BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL AS VEHICLE AGES. INDICATED TO LOCAL DEALER PROBLEMS REPORTED WITH FAILING AXLES, AND AXLE SEALS AND AXLE BREATHER PROBLEMS. THEY INDICATED THEY WERE UNAWARE OF VERY MANY SUCH PROBLEMS. NOISE AND CLUNK BECAME WORSE AND I BEGAN TO INVESTIGATE VIA WEB AND THROUGH MY ORGANIZATION MEMBERSHIP (CLUB TITAN) AND DISCOVERED A LARGE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. BACK TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO FINALLY ADMITTED KNOWN ISSUES WITH AXLES. PAST WARRANTY AT THIS POINT, THEY RECOMMENDED CONTACTING NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. CALLED AND DESCRIBED ISSUES, THEY ASSIGNED FILE # AND ASKED ME TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSIS (WHICH I HAD TO AGAIN PAY FOR) AND INFORMATION ABOUT ANY PREVIOUS NISSAN VEHICLES OWNED. BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN THE REQUESTED INFORMATION, NISSAN CALLED BACK AND DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE CITING AGE/MILEAGE OF VEHICLE. I INDICATED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM, NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT HAS OCCURRED AFTER THE WARRANTY. THEY CALLED BACK SEVERAL DAYS LATER AND INDICATED THAT THERE IS NO RECORD ANYWHERE OF ANY COMPLAINTS ON MY PART REGARDING THE AXLE PROBLEM. SEEMS STRANGE THAT OTHER HISTORY EXISTS (BRAKE PROBLEMS, RECALLS, ETC.) ON MY VEHICLE, BUT ODDLY "NOTHING" ABOUT AXLE PROBLEMS. WE ARE MOVING SOON, AND I CANNOT AFFORD THE OUT OF POCKET REPAIRS, BUT I CANNOT PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

I TOWED A 2990 LBS TRAILER FROM MICHIGAN TO WEST VIRGINIA, THE MORNING AFTER GETTING HOME I NOTICED THE LEAKS AND POPPING IN REAR END WHEN PULLING OUT. FIRST TIME TOWING WITH THIS TRUCK. MILEAGE IS ALL HIGHWAY. COMMUTED 120 MILES PER DAY TO WORK. I HAVE BEEN ON FORUMS AND SEEN COUNTLESS OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN IS VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT EVEN MAKE PARTS AVAILABLE. THEY ARE JUST REPLACING THE ENTIRE REAR ENDS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR IT. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO OTHER THAN FIX IT ONE MORE TIME AND THEN SUE UNDER LEMON LAW WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. *TR

I WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO AN AUTO REPAIR FACILITY ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE GEARS IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED (TEETH BROKEN OFF). VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT A COST OF OVER $3,000. I WILL SAVE THE FAILED PART. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE WEB, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON AND EXPENSIVE OCCURRENCE. GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE (REAR WHEEL LOCKING), I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BEHIND ME. *TR

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.
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2009 TITAN, ARMADA, AND INFINITI QX56 VEHICLES. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE MAY INACCURATELY DISPLAY THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY.
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.
NISSAN IS RECALLING 180,664 MY 2005-2006 TITAN, ARMADA AND INFINITY QX56 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER MARCH 17, 2005, THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH A VISTEON AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAN MOTOR. THE FAN MOTOR MAY NOT BE PROPERLY SEALED ALLOWING EXCESSIVE WATER INTRUSION AND INADEQUATE DRAINAGE OF MOISTURE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE CORROSION IN THE MOTOR LEADING POSSIBLY TO OVERHEATING AND A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A 'THERMAL PROTECTOR KIT' AND TEST THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAN MOTOR AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 2, 2008. 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.
