I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB, WHICH I PURCHASED IT IN NOVEMBER OF 2005. AFTER, APPROXIMATELY 30DAYS OF OWNERSHIP AND 500 MILES OF TRAVEL; THE FRONT BRAKES BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE COMPLICATIONS (THEY WOULD SHUDDER WHILE BRAKING AND CREATE AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF BRAKE DUST.) I QUICKLY RETURN TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, FOR SERVICING. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE ROTORS. DURING THE SUMMER OF 2006, I BEGAN TO NOTICE A MUSTY ODOR EMITTING FROM THE FLOOR AND CARPETING OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND REQUESTED THE MECHANIC TO INSPECT THE TRUCK FOR THE CAUSE OF THE ODOR. THEY COULDN'T LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE ODOR. I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS, DURING THE SUMMER OF 2007 ODOR REAPPEARED; THEY REPLACED THE RUBBER GASKET AROUND DOOR WINDOWS IN HOPES OF RESOLVING THE ISSUE. MEANWHILE THE FRONT BRAKES ROTORS WERE REPLACED AGAIN AND THE GAUGES (FUEL, OIL, TACH ,VOLTMETER) ACTING ERRATICALLY. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE BRAKES UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY & PRORATED MY PURCHASE OF A NEW NISSAN AUTO BATTERY; ACCORDING TO SERVICE DEPT. THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE GAUGES MALFUNCTION. THEN AGAIN IN2008, I WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WERE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THE MUSTY ODOR WAS CAUSED BY WATER COMING INTO THE CABIN VIA A SMALL VOID IN THE WINDOW SEALANT AROUND THE "FACTORY INSTALLED WINDSHIELD' UPON HEARING THIS, I CHOSE TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC DUE TO NISSAN MECHANIC INABILITY TO RESOLVE THE BRAKE ISSUE & LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE WATER. THIS YEAR 2009, THE REAR END WAS REPAIRED DUE THE SEALS LEAKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PREVENTIVE REPLACEMENT ON THE PASSENGER SEALS. HOWEVER, A FEW OLD ISSUES ALONG WITH NEW ONES THAT STILL EXIST. MY NEW MECHANIC TOLD ME THE SOURCE OF THE WATER & ODOR ISSUE IS THE A/C CONDENSER LEAKING INTO THE CABIN, THE BLINKING AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS DUE TO A HARNESS NEEDING REPLACING IN THE REAR DOORS. *TR

WHEN IT GOES OUT THERE IS A CLUNKING SOUND WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A YEAR THIS HAS GONE OUT AND I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER. THIS IS A SAFETY OF DRIVING ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE PERMANENTLY FIXED BY NISSAN. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW NISSAN TITAN FROM ALAN KURTH DEALERSHIP MINOT, ND. MAY OF 2005. WITHIN THE YEAR I ASKED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE "STRANGE" BRAKING EXPERIENCE. I NOTICED SOME VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT BRAKES THAT ALSO VIBRATED THE STEERING COLUMN. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL ON A TITAN HEAVY DUTY TRUCK . I AM NOT A MECHANIC AND TOOK THEIR WORD. THAT DEALERSHIP WENT OUT OF BUSINESS SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND THE ONLY OTHER NISSAN DEALER WAS IN BISMARK, A LONG WAY FROM WHERE I LIVED AT THE TIME. I DID TAKE IT TO THAT DEALER, BISMARK HONDA-NISSAN-HYUNDAI IN JULY OF 2006 IN RESPONSE TO A RECALL ABOUT ANOTHER ISSUE. NOTHING WAS MENTIONED BY THEM ABOUT ANY PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THE TRUCK WAS NOT DRIVEN THAT MUCH, CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES AND THE VIBRATION HAS BECOME WORSE AND WORSE ONCE I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO FLORIDA LAST FALL TO THE POINT THAT I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD THEN AFTER THEY INSPECTED THE TRUCK ON APRIL 23RD. 2009 THAT NISSAN HAD IDENTIFIED A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES ON THIS MODEL CALLED BRAKE JUDDER HE SUGGESTED I CALL NISSAN TO SEE HOW THEY WERE MANAGING THE PROBLEM. I TELEPHONED NISSAN CONSUMER OFFICE ON APRIL 24TH AND SPOKE WITH ANDY WHO OPENED A CASE FILE AND THAT NUMBER IS 6477694. HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO BEGIN WITH THE LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE THEM INSPECT THE TRUCK SO I CONTACTED MAROONE NISSAN IN FT LAUDERDALE AND TOOK THE TRUCK IN ON APRIL 27, 2009. I DEALT WITH THE ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER. WHEN THEY HAD FINALLY FINISHED WITH THEIR INSPECTION HE TOLD ME THAT "NISSAN WOULD NOT PROVIDE A COURTESY REPAIR SINCE THEY HAD INITIALLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 2008. I HAD RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING THAT NISSAN FAILED TO PROVIDE. 1. THE ISSUE WAS SENT OUT TO ALL NISSAN SERVICE MANAGERS ON MARCH 16, 2005. THE REPAIRS WERE NOT MADE PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. 2. THEY WERE DIRECTED TO SUPPLY A "LEGIBLE PHOTOCOPY" ABOUT THE WARRANTY EXTENSION. THEY DID NOT. THIS WAS DETAILED IN NISSAN ADVISORY NNAWB/05-01. *TR

ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN, BOTH OF MY REAR AXLE SEALS FAILED WITH ONLY 48,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE FLUID LEAKS AXLE LUBRICANT BY THE REAR WHEELS, WHICH GETS ONTO THE REAR DISK BRAKES, WHICH MAKES THE REAR BRAKES INEFFECTIVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING A TRAILER. NISSAN REPLACED THE SEALS, HOWEVER THE POPULAR BELIEF OF THE CAUSE OF THIS IS A 1-WAY VALVE VENT THAT ALLOWS THE PRESSURE WITHIN THE AXLE TO ESCAPE, BUT DOESN'T LET AIR BACK INTO THE AXLE. THIS OCCURRENCE CAUSES A VACUUM INSIDE THE AXLE, WHICH PULLS ON THE AXLE SEALS AND CAUSES THEM TO AGE PREMATURELY. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL UNDER BRAKING. NISSAN HAS IDENTIFIED THAT 2004 AND EARLY 2005 TITANS WERE BUILT WITH BRAKE ROTORS THAT ARE TOO SMALL, RESULTING IN THE ROTORS WARPING DUE TO OVERHEATING. NISSAN CALLS THIS ISSUE BRAKE JUDDERING AND HAS ISSUED THREE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING FIXING THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING AN UPGRADED (BIGGER ROTORS) BRAKE KIT. NISSAN EXTENDED THE BRAKE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE TO 36 MONTHS/36,000MILES. I AM UNDER THE MILEAGE LIMIT (31,000) BUT HAVE EXCEEDED THE TIME LIMIT BY ONE MONTH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THEY NEED TO BE WILLING TO REPLACE THE ROTORS FOR ANY VEHICLE ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED WITH THE UNDERSIZED ROTORS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT MY ROTORS ARE WARPED AND RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT. *TR

PRESENTLY I HAVE 57,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE SAME VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES IS HAPPENING AGAIN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A UPDATED TORQUE MEMBER KIT AND NEW FRONT PADS AND BRAKES FOR MY TRUCK AT A COST OF $756.59 BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID TO TAKE MY COMPLIANT TO THE FACTORY. I HAVE CALLED REPEATEDLY TO THE FACTORY AND AM STILL WAITING FOR A CALL BACK. DRIVING MY TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND I AM RISKING MY LIFE EVERYDAY I GET INTO IT TO DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK. MY MAJOR COMPLIANT WITH THIS ISSUE IS THAT IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE, IT IS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT IN THE TORQUE MEMBER KIT AND FRONT BRAKES AND I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST. *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 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.
