I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY TRUCK,HAVE HAD IT SINCE IT WAS NEW. WAS GOING DOWN TOWN, STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, STARTED TO GO, TURN, AND IT MADE THIS AWFUL LOUD NOISE IN THE BACK. WHEN I STOPPED, IT DID IT AGAIN, WHEN I WENT TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE, IT ACTED AS IF IT DIDNT WANT TO MOVE. I CHECKED THE WHEEL AND THEY WERE ALL OK IT WAS DARK AND I COULDNT SEE UNDER IT. LEFT THERE, AND THE NOISE WAS GETTING WORSE. WENT STRAIGHT HOME WHICH WAS ABOUT 6 MILES. THE NEXT MORNING I GOT UP AND CALLED NISSAN AND THEY COULDNT GET IT IN UNTIL 5 DAYS LATER, I TOLD THEM THERE WAS SOMETHING REALLY WRONG. GOT IN THE TRUCK AND WAS GOING TO LES SCHWAB TO SEE IF THEY COULD CHECK IT. STOPPED TO GET ME A COFFEE, BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, THE TRUCK ACTED AS IF IT DIDNT WANT TO MOVE, SOUNDED AND FELT AS IF THE BACK TIRES WERE TRYING TO LOCK UP. I CALLED NISSAN BACK BECAUSE I NEEDED TO MAKE APPT TO GET SERVICE DONE ANYWAY. THE GUY AT NISSAN SAID THEY HAD A CANCELATION AND TO BRING THE TRUCK IN. I TOOK THE BACK ROADS, WORRIED SOMETHING MIGHT REALLY HAPPEN IF I TOOK THE FREEWAY, SO I TOOK IT SLOW, ALL THE WAY THE NOISE WAS GETTING WORSE. I GOT TO NISSAN, THE GUY PULLED IT UP IN THE BAY, AND IT MADE THE NOISE, REALLY LOUD. HE GOT OUT SAID SOMETHING REALLY WRONG. THE REAR AXLE HAD BROKE INSIDE IN LITTLE PIECES. $2800 TO FIX IT. WAS SO UPSET, NO FAMILY TO BORROW A CAR, NO MONEY TO FIX IT. THE GUY AT NISSAN TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY,WOULD CALL NISSAN CORP MONDAY SEE WHAT HE COULD DO. HE AGREED THAT THE WAY I TAKE CARE OF MY TRUCK AND THE MILES ON IT, SHOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED. ALSO THE SEALS WERE LEAKING. I WENT ON LINE AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE REAR AXLE,SEALS, DIFFERENTAL BREAKING ON THE 04, 05, AND 06 TITANS GUY AT NISSAN TOLD ME THAT AFTER A FEW YEARS OF BUILDING TITANS THEY HAD TO TOTALLLY REBUILD THE REAR AXLE AND I WOULD HAVE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ONE. NISSAN SHOULD STEP UP.
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE REAR AXLE IS LEAKING ALL OVER THE REAR BRAKES CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. IT COULD CAUSE BRAKING FAILURE OR A FIRE IN THE REAR BRAKES. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET BUT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN IF SOMEONE OWNING THIS VEHICLE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE REAR AXLE WAS …

I HAVE NISSAN TITAN 4 DOOR 4X4, LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, IT SEEMS THAT WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS THE DOOR LOCKS GET LAZY AND WHEN I ENGAGE THE REMOTE TO LOCK OR UNLOCK YOU CAN HEAR THEM CLICKING A BUNCH OF TIMES BUT NEVER ACTUALLY UNLOCKING DOOR SO THAT I CAN GET IN. SOMETIMES AS I AM DRIVING IF I ROLL DOWN ANY WINDOW AND BACK UP IT WILL MAKE THE LOCKING NOISES DESCRIBED. THEN WHEN I STOP VEHICLE, PUT IN PARK, KEY OUT OF IGNITION, THE DRIVER DOOR LOCK STAYS LOCKED WHILE THE OTHERS UNLOCK. MY TRUCK HAS ROUGHLY 40,000 MILES ON IT. ITS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 X AND THEY HAVE WITNESSED THE ISSUE, CLAIM THEY FIXED IT, AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER. CALL ME STRANGE, BUT IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON THE COLDEST DAYS AND GETS BETTER WHEN WARMER. WHAT REALLY FREAKED ME OUT WAS THAT I HAD A CHILD IN THE TRUCK ONE TIME AND I COULD NOT GET THE DOORS BACK OPEN TO GET IN. BASICALLY THE DOORS WHERE STUCK SHUT AS I PANICKED PUSHED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE REMOTE BUT YOU COULD HEAR THE DOOR LOCKS MECHANISM MAKING NOISE BUT JUST AS QUICK AS IT WOULD UNLOCK, IT WOULD LOCK WRITE BACK UP AGAIN. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AND THE DEALER CAN'T EVEN FIGURE IT OUT. IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH MURANS, TITAN, ALTIMAS, ALL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NO CURE JUST IDEAS ON HOW TO FIX. NEED RECALL!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN HE DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DOWN SHIFT OR UP SHIFT. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE WOULD CHANGE GEARS BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE FAILURE WOULD ONLY OCCUR WHEN DRIVING UP OR DOWNHILL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR THE FAILURE AND HE WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, TRANSMISSION HOSE AND THE RADIATOR, BUT THE REPAIRS DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED AND THERE WERE NO FAILURES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT WHEN DRIVING UP OR DOWNHILL FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 82,000.
VEHICLE STEERING WENT OUT AND WOULDN'T LET ME TURN. CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND RUN OFF THE ROAD AND CAUSED ME TO SLINGSHOT BACK ACROSS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD RUNNING INTO A GROVE OF TREES CAUSING THE TRUCK TO BE TOTALED AND CAUSING INJURIES TO MYSELF. *TR

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.

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.
