PURCHASED A NEW 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4-DOOR PICK-UP TRUCK IN FEBRUARY 2005. BOTH THE MANUFACTURER AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP KNEW OF AN EXISTING SAFETY PROBLEM REGARDING THE BRAKING SYSTEM OF BOTH 2004 AND 2005 TITAN PICK-UP TRUCK MODELS, BUT FAILED TO ALERT MYSELF OF THE PROBLEM. I HAD TO THREATEN TO SUE THE DEALERSHIP TO PROVIDE AND INSTALL THE MANUFACTURER'S SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT PARTS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE INSTALLED LESS THAN 60 DAYS AGO, AND THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED. WHEN I SPOKE WITH 2 SEPARATE NISSAN CORPORATION REPRESENTATIVES, THEY PROVIDED ME FALSE INFORMATION, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY CONSIDERED THE MATTER CLOSED AND IF I WAS NOT SATISFIED THEN I SHOULD CONTACT A LEMON-LAW ATTORNEY! I DEMAND THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER TO REFUND MY MONEY ENTIRELY! THEY FRAUDENTLY SOLD ME A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD. ADDITIONALLY, 2 ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS REGARDING THE DRIVER'S POWER SEAT AND THE RADIO HAVE SURFACED AND THE BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS AS WELL.

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT SAID DEALERSHIP STATED THERE WAS A DEFECT WITHIN THE BRAKE PADS/ROTORS. THE BRAKE PADS OVERHEATED OR GOT VERY HOT AND WARPED THE ROTORS. WHEN EVER THIS HAPPENED IT CAUSED VIBRATION WHEN STOPPING. VEHICLE WAS SHAKING TREMENDOUSLY, AND IT WAS HARD TO CONTROL VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. ALSO, SAID EVERY 3000-5000 MILES THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS, AND THE ROTORS. THIS WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP INSISTED THERE WAS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THIS CAUSED WEAR TO THE TWO FRONT TIRES. *AK

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN FULLY LOADED. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED TWICE. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. NISSAN WAS AWARE THAT THE BRAKES ON THE TRUCK HAD PROBLEMS AND NEVER TOLD ME WHEN I BOUGHT IT. NISSAN WAS AWARE THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS ALSO DEFECTIVE. THERE IS A TSB ISSUED FOR BOTH PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE BRAKES, THAT I WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BRING THE TRUCK IN ABOUT EVERY 3000 MILES AND HAVE THE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED. I WAS TOLD NISSAN IS LOOKING FOR A FIX. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS THE SAME SITUATION. NISSAN CORPORATE HAS TOLD DEALERSHIPS NOT TO FIX THE WINDOW ISSUE, THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE. THE WINDOW MAY STOP IN THE DOWN POSISTION OR IN THE UP POSITION. IN MY CASE IT HAS DONE BOTH AND FINALLY IT WOULD NOT GO UP AT ALL. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOW OPEN FOR A DAY UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO A DEALER TO BE LOOKED AT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NO FIX BUT THEY WOULD TRY THERE BEST. *AK
BRAKES VIBRATING WORPED ROTORS. THIS IS A MOJOR ENGINEERING OVERSITE. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS NOT ROBUST ENOUGH FOR THE TRUCK. IT IS UNSAFE AND IRRITATING!!*AK
REPEATED REPAIR TO BRAKE SYSTEM 4 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE IN JAN 04 24,000 AND 4 REPAIRS. *AK

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.
