I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A NOISE FROM MY BACKEND AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED TO FIND MY LEAF SPRING BUSTED AND STICKING THROUGH MY TRUCK BED. I CALLED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO OFFER ANY HELP BECAUSE OF IT BEING A USED VEHICLE. IT SEEMS IT WOULD BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO DO A RECALL NOW UNTIL WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED. WHEN I ASKED THE YOUNG LADY WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TIME WHEN THE OTHER SIDE GOES AND I GET INTO A FATAL ACCIDENT KILLING MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE? HER REPLY WAS THAT WE WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS THAT WHEN IT HAPPENS. WHAT LOUSY CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAS HAD MOISTURE INSIDE OF MY DRIVERS HEADLIGHT SINCE IT WAS NEW. THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 02/20/2014 AND ASKED FOR A REVIEW OF THE DEFECT AND REPAIR. I DOCUMENTED THE DEFECT AT HANLEES NISSAN PER NISSAN REQUEST AND FORWARDED THE INFORMATION TO THEM. I AM TOLD SINCE THE VEHICLE IS BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ASSIST ME. I CONTEND THAT THIS DEFECT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CREATES A HAZARD FOR LAMP FAILURE AND DISTORTS LIGHT EMISSION FROM THE HEADLIGHT WHEN IN USE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE AND FOUND THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS HAVING ISSUES WITH WATER TRAPPED INSIDE THE LIGHT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RESPONSE FROM NISSAN AND BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED OCCURRENCE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEFECT AND HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO REMEDY THE ISSUE OR ISSUE A REFUND FOR MY TITAN THAT I PURCHASED NEW. *TR

NOTICED UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, A CLICKING SOUND WHICH BECAME LOUDER WHEN DRIVING. VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER STATED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED. THEY FIXED IT. SHORTLY AFTER THE OTHER EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED AND THEY FIXED THAT AS WELL. SINCE THEN, THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND EITHER ONE OR BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAVE CRACKED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS GOING TO COST LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR. UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I WAS UPSET, BUT WAS WILLING TO ACCEPT THE SITUATION, UNTIL ONE MORNING I GOT A STRONG SMELL OF EXHAUST IN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. BEING A MECHANIC, I HAD MY HUNCHES. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT ON OCCASION I GET EXHAUST EMISSION IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO RECENTLY FOUND ONLINE THAT THERE ARE AN ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY THAT IF THE LEAK IS AROUND ANY WIRING, THE HOT GAS MAY CAUSE THE WIRING TO MELT CAUSING A POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE. THAT OF COURSE IS JUST AN EDUCATED OPINION. HOW MANY MORE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAVE TO CRACK BEFORE NISSAN WILL ADMIT THEY ARE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. IS IT ABOUT THE MONEY TO RECALL THE VEHICLE OR IS IT ABOUT SAFETY AFTER ALL? IN ADDITION, I WOULD HAVE COMPLETED THIS FORM A LOT SOONER, BUT I WAS JUST RECENTLY INFORMED ABOUT IT. THE VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY HAS MORE WEAR AND TEAR AND MORE MILEAGE, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT THIS HAPPENED MANY MILES AGO. THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO READ MY LETTER. *TR

TRAVELING 20 TO 25 MPH, UP A HILL, IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD "BANG". THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED TO THE RIGHT, STRIKING A TREE. NEVER WOULD YOU EXPECT A VEHICLE TO BRAKE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO THROW YOU INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I BELIEVE THAT THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL ISSUED. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND TRANSFER CASE HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE FRONT AXLE HAD BACKED OUT RESULTING IN FLUID LEAKING OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT HAD BEEN REDESIGNED. *TR

SUNDAY EVENING MY SON WAS DRIVING ONTO AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO I-10 INTERSTATE WHEN THE TRUCK DIED. FUEL GAUGE INDICATED TRUCK HAD FUEL. WOULD NOT START, LEFT ON SIDE OF INTERSTATE UNTIL NEXT DAY. BOUGHT SOME GAS TO PUT INTO TANK WHICH STARTED THE TRUCK. HE DROVE TO FILL TANK ! FUEL GAUGE INACCURATELY DISPLAYS FUEL READING. CALLED NISSAN TO INFORMED THEM OF MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A FUEL SYSTEM RECALL. I WAS TOLD I SERVICED MY TRUCK WITH THIS RECALL WHICH I TOLD CORPORATE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL SYSTEM. I ALWAYS ASK FOR OLD PARTS BUT WAS NOT PROVIDED. TODAY, I TOOK MY TRUCK TO PICAYUNE NISSAN TO GET INFO ON COST, DIAGNOSTICS FOR CORPORATE FOR THEM TO MAKE DECISION TO APPROVE THIS RECALL WORK. I SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE DEALERSHIP SENDS USED PARTS TO CORPORATE BECAUSE THEY PAID FOR WORK. I ASK I SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO INSPECT OLD WORN PARTS?! DEALERSHIP NOW WANTS TO CHARGE ME ABOUT $400.00 FOR THIS RECALL WORK. WHY IS A RECALL WARRANTY ALLOWED A ONE-TIME FIX!?! LEMON COMES TO MIND!!!! THX. *TR

SITTING OVERNIGHT WITH TEMPERATURE IN THE 40'S, WHEN PUTTING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE,IT WOULD KEEP DROPPING OUT OF GEAR. THE TRUCK DROVE FINE WHEN MANUALLY SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS. PROBLEM CONTINUED FOR MOST OF A YEAR BUT DID NOT GENERATE AN ERROR CODE. FINALLY DEVELOPED AN ERROR CODE INDICATING PROBLEM IN FIRST GEAR OF THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY WITH TCM. THIS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF VALVE BODY INTERNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH HAD BEEN CONTAMINATED BY AN UNDETECTABLE RADIATOR TO TRANS COOLER LEAK ALSO REQUIRING THE RADIATOR TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM, FOR WHICH NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING, OTHER THAN PUTTING A SPECIAL COATING ON BOLTS INTERNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION TO DETECT THE PRESENCE OF COOLANT. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. IT COULD BE EASILY PREVENT BY THE INSTALLATION OF A SEPARATE TRANSMISSION COOLER. *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 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.
