CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE MANY NISSAN TITANS ARE EXPERIENCING PREMATURE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. SOME FAILURES ARE CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SEIZE, AS PARTICLES OF THE CORE OF SUCKED UP INTO THE ENGINE. THIS HAS CAUSED FAILURES WHILE DRIVING, AND AS OF YET HAS NOT CAUSED ANY CRASHES OR FIRES. I BELIEVE IT IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THERE ARE ARE LARGE NUMBER OF FAILURES BEFORE 80,000 MILES, AND A LARGE NUMBER OF FAILURES RIGHT AFTER 80,000 MILES WHICH LEAVES IT UP TO THE CONSUMER TO PAY $1700+ TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE. NISSAN IS SAYING IT'S NOT AN ISSUE, BUT INTERNET REPORTS OF THE FAILURES WOULD SAY OTHERWISE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. THANKS *TT

POORLY CONSTRUCTED EXHAUST MANIFOLD(S) EQUIPPED IN 2004-2007 NISSAN TITANS CRACK UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. NEARLY ALL TITANS ON THE ROAD (UP UNTIL ABOUT 2008) ARE EFFECTED BY THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. 2008+ TITANS ARE SAID TO BE EQUIPPED WITH STRONGER MANIFOLDS, BUT THOSE CRACK AS WELL. THIS CRACK, IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF, MAY THROW ERROR CODES WHICH WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO LEAN OUT AND POSSIBLY DESTROY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. ASIDE FROM POSSIBLE ENGINE MALFUNCTION DUE TO THIS CRACK, EXHAUST GASES TO NOT PROPERLY EXHAUST OUT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND SUBSEQUENTLY EXIT THE MANIFOLDS WITHIN THE ENGINE BAY AND ENTER INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN. AS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE ATTACHED TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, THEY CAN BE REPLACED BY THE 8Y/80K MILE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY. HOWEVER, MANY DEALERS WILL NOT LOOK AT THE MANIFOLDS TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE UNTIL AFTER THIS POINT. REPLACING THE MANIFOLDS USING OEM PRODUCTS IS QUITE COSTLY. *KB

WHILE DRIVING, HEARD A BANG, DID NOT NOTICE ANY DAMAGE AT FIRST. LATER ONCE THE TRUCK WAS PARKED AT HOME SEEN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING WAS PUSHED THROUGH THE BED OF THE TRUCK. (HAVE PICTURES, IF NEEDED) THE PART PUSHED THROUGH THE METAL OF THE BED AS WELL AS THE SPRAY ON BED LINER. TOOK TRUCK TO THE LOCAL GARAGE, WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE ANY FURTHER THAN JUST A COUPLE MILES. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT HE COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS HAPPENED GIVEN THE YEAR OF THE TRUCK. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION HE RECOMMENDED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE BE REPLACED AS WELL, BEFORE IT BROKE ALSO, HE STATED THAT IT WAS VERY THIN METAL. THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS PURCHASED AT THE A DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS INCIDENTS WHERE THIS PART HAS BROKEN CAUSING SIMILAR DAMAGE. REPAIRS TO THE TRUCK WILL ALSO REQUIRE REPLACING THE TRUCK BED POSSIBLE. THIS TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN OFF ROAD NOR HAS IT BEEN USED TO HAUL ITEMS, IT HAS A FIBERGLASS BED COVER ON IT.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. I WAS ON VACATION WITH MY WIFE AND GRANDDAUGHTER THIS PAST WEEK WHEN I NOTICED THE BRAKING ON MY TRUCK FELT WRONG. IT TOOK MUCH FURTHER TO STOP THAN IT SHOULD. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I PULLED OVER TO A REST AREA AND NOTICED A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I CHECKED THE FLUIDS AND EVERYTHING LOOKED OK. I WENT TO A GARAGE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME WHERE THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID INTO THE BRAKE DRUMS ON BOTH REAR WHEELS AND SPINNING FLUID INTO THE WHEELS. THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO GET IT OVER TO THE NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH TITANS. THEY CONSIDER IT SAFE. BUT THEY TELL ME I NEED TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY. THE REAR BRAKES HAVE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING INTO THEM. WHICH MEANS I MAY EVEN HAVE TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING DAMAGED! THEY ALSO TOLD ME THE REAR AXLE COULD LOCK UP CAUSING MORE DANGER AND DAMAGE. THEY ADMIT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE BUT THEY WILL NOT LET THE OWNERS KNOW IN WRITING. THAT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY WOULD RATHER THE OWNER ENCURE THE HUGE EXPENSE OF REPAIRING THIS ISSUE AFTER THEIR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER THIS A RECALL. I WILL HAVE TO SPEND $3000 TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE. I AM FURIOUS AND DISAPOINTED THAT NISSAN WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE I SEE HUNDREDS OF POST.WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED? IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN FIVE YEARS YET SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I AM ONLY AT 85,000 MILES. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEIR PATHETIC RESPONSE AND REFUSAL TO FIX THIS ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE.THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE NISSAN! I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN IF THEY DON'T RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE. *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.
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.
Jun 27, 2008
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.
Mar 8, 2006
CERTAIN LIGHT TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 206, "DOOR LOCKS AND DOOR RETENTION COMPONENTS." AN ARC WELD IS MISSING ON SOME RIGHT SIDE REAR DOOR UPPER LATCH ASSEMBLIES.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS MAY RESULT IN THE RIGHT SIDE DOORS COMING PARTIALLY OPEN INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO OCCUPANTS.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE UPPER LATCH ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 3, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 800-662-6200.
