THIS TRUCK IS STOCK, NO LIFTS AND NEVER GOES OFF ROAD. SO THIS HAPPENED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. A FRONT AXLE SHOULD NOT JUST POP OUT OF PLACE. I JUST GOT IT BACK FROM REPLACING THE REAR AXLE AND SEALS AS BOTH WERE LEAKING. ALSO THE REAR SHACKLES ON THE VEHICLE ROTTED OUT.

THE REAR END WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY IN MY 2005 TITAN AT 55K MILES NO CHARGE DUE TO OVAL SHAPED AXLE TUBES CAUSING AXLE SEAL FAILURE. HERE I AM AGAIN 2012 WITH 115K MILES OUT OF WARRANTY BUT ONLY 60K MILES ON THE REAR END THAT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BLOWN AXLE SEALS DUE TO OUT OF ROUND AXLE TUBES. IF YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE THIS ALL THE AXLE OIL CAN LEAK OUT CAUSING SUDDEN REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE WHICH MAY LEAD TO A CRASH OR LOSS OF LIFE. NISSAN WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AFTER THE SEALS WHERE REPLACED IN THE SECOND REAR END AND THE SEALS CONTINUE TO LEAK AFTER REPLACEMENT. NISSAN REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE AND STATED "YOUR TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY" IMO THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THE AXLES LEAKING ALONG WITH THE CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT WERE NUMEROUS REPORTED ALSO. VISIT THE NISSAN FORUMS AND YOU CAN VIEW 44 PAGES OF DIFFERENTIAL ISSUES ON TITAN TALK.COM. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE... *TR

MY REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE SNAPPED PUNCHING A HOLE THOUGH THE TRUCK BED OPENING IT UP LIKE A TUNA CAN WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND NEARLY LOST CONTROL IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WHERE THERE WERE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE WORKING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. DID SOME INVESTIGATING AND IT SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 04-07 TITANS AND AM WONDERING WHY I (OR THE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WHO'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM) WERE NOT INFORMED ABOUT THIS FROM THE FINE FOLKS AT NISSAN BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. I WOULD HAVE PAID TO REPLACE THEM MYSELF HAD I JUST BEEN TOLD.....ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY...SAFETY IS NUMBER ONE IN MY BOOK ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M HAULING AROUND MY 18 MONTH OLD IN SOMETHING THAT THE FACTORY KNOWS HAS A LIFE THREATENING DEFECT AND DOESN'T TELL ANYONE!!!!!!!!

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.
