2005 NISSAN TITAN LE 5.6 4/4 KING CAB VIN# [XXX]; I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER 10/06/05 TO REPLACE A COOLING FAN THAT THEY ORDERED 3 WEEKS AGO AND CHECK MY BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN YOU ARE STOPPED OR COMING TO A STOP. YOU HAVE TO PUMP IT UP TO BRING IT BACK UP. THEY INSTALLED THE FAN AND TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AS SOME OF THE OTHER MODELS DO THE SAME THING. THE BRAKE CYLINDER FLUID WAS FULL. IT SCARES ME TO DRIVE WITH THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR. THE FLUID HAS TO BE GOING SOMEWHERE MAYBE BYPASSING THE SEALS AS THIS IS A CLOSED SYSTEM. I HAD TO CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE TO HAVE THE FAN REPLACED AND THEY SAID THERE WERE VERY FEW REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THESE TRUCKS(3WKS FOR A FAN). I NEED HELP AS I DON'T WANT TO KILL SOMEONE OR MYSELF. NISSAN DOES NOT CARE. *NM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE "A" STATE BLACKTOP COMING INTO A SHARP CORNER AND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE FRONT WHEELS BEGAN TO SHIMMY VERY HARD. IT CAUSED THE 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TO LOSE CONTACT WITH THE HIGHWAY CAUSING IT TO LEAVE THE ROAD AND OVERTURN. THE TRUCK WAS TOTALED AND I RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES. AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT SAVED ME. NISSAN KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT A POSSIBLE BRAKE PROBLEM UNTIL IT WRECKED ME. THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RECALLING ALL THEIR TRUCKS WITH THIS PROBLEM. IF I WOULD HAVE DIED IN THE CRASH, NO ONE WOULD KNOW THE CAUSE. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY BACK THE TRUCK FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THE PROOF OF WARPED ROTORS CAUSING THE ACCIDENT. IT ALSO APPEARED THE REAR BRAKES DID NOT WORK BECAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM WAS CONFUSED? I COULD USE SOME HELP HERE. *NM

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.
Mar 3, 2010
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.

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.
Nov 30, 2006
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.
