TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR FOR THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS FOR THE FRONT TIRES. THE VEHICLE WORKED NORMALLY FOR A YEAR AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, BUT THE FAILURE EVENTUALLY RECURRED. THIS TEMPORARILY REMEDIED THE ISSUE FOR 15,000 MILES. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THIS FAILURE SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING TO A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT USED EVERYDAY, SO HE BELIEVES THE FAILURE IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED FOR A SECOND TIME. CURRENTLY, THE ROTORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 5/26/09 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AND NEW PADS WERE INSTALLED. UPDATED 05/28/09.*JB

RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 8000 MILES NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL. NISSAN REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

THE REAR SEAT SEAT-BELTS OF MY NISSAN TITAN TRUCK WILL TIGHTEN INTO A LOCKED POSITION CAUSING THE PASSENGER TO BECOME IMMOBILIZED AGAINST THE SEAT BACK. THE ONLY WAY TO UNDO THE LOCKED SEAT-BELT IS TO COMPLETELY DISENGAGE IT, AND THEN RE-LOCK IT. HOWEVER, IT'S THEN JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT LOCKS UP AGAIN FORCING THE PASSENGER TO UNLOCK IT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD, BECAUSE THE PASSENGER HAS TO UNDO THEIR SEAT-BELT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION SO THEY CAN MOVE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SEAT BELTS ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIX THEM. I HAVE VERIFIED WITH OTHER 2006 NISSAN TITAN OWNERS AND THEY HAVE NOTED THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE NISSAN DEALER ADMITTED THEY HAVE HAD OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO REDESIGN THE REAR SEAT BELTS OR USE DIFFERENT TYPES THAT WON'T TIGHTEN AND LOCK UP WHEN PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY SITTING IN THEM, WHICH CREATES THIS SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I ALWAYS INSIST THAT ANYONE RIDING WITH ME USE THE SEAT BELTS, BUT I HAVE NOTED ON OCCASION THAT SOME HAVE RELEASED THEM WITHOUT TELLING ME, BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT HAD LOCKED UP ON THEM, CAUSING TOO MUCH DISCOMFORT. MAYBE YOU CAN GET NISSAN TO CORRECT THIS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY WON'T LISTEN TO ME (THEY SIMPLY REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT WITH A SIMILAR DEFECTIVE ONE). *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE CAME APART AT THE WELD AND THE BACK OF THE LEAF SPRING PUNCHED UP THROUGH THE BED OF MY TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WAS NOT ACCOMPANIED BY ANY LOUD NOISE OR ANY INDICATION THAT SOMETHING HAD GONE DRASTICALLY WRONG. THIS IS A 4X4, OFF-ROAD/WORK TRUCK. THESE SHACKLES SHOULD NEVER BREAK, LET ALONE ONLY AFTER 3 WINTERS. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I ALSO FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE IS SHOWING SIGNS OF STRESS AND CRACKING. I HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND HAVEN'T HEARD ANY INFO FROM THEM EITHER. I HAVE HAD TRUCK TOWED OUT OF NISSAN DEALER AND HAVE OBTAINED SOME HEAVY-DUTY AFTERMARKET SHACKLES WHICH I PLAN TO INSTALL. *TR

TOOK TRUCK TO NISSAN DEALER 2-24-09. DEALER SAID TRUCK OUT OF WARRANTY (11,868 MILES)HAD IT REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE MORE. THE PROBLEM IS TYPICAL OF THIS TRUCK DUE TO LIGHT USE. I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH DANGEROUS BRAKING POWER SINCE THE TRUCK IS NEARLY NEW. I ASKED NISSAN FOR A REFUND FOR THE REPAIR OF $ 1116.77 WHICH THEY CLAIMED WAS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THEY SHOULD NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE HAS A BAD ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS DEFECT IS CORRECTED. *TR

MY 06 TITAN 4WD HAD JUST HAD REPAIRS TO THE TRANSMISSION DONE 2-3 DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. MY TRUCK HAD BEEN RUNNING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE AC AND RADIO GOING FOR SOME TIME WHILE I WAS DOING VARIOUS CLEANING AND OTHER STUFF OUTSIDE. I WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT COOLING OFF WITH MY EYES CLOSED WHEN MY NEIGHBOR CAME RUNNING OUT SCREAMING THAT MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE HOOD FLAMES WERE VISIBLE AND SMOKE. SHE CALLED THE FIRE DEPT WHILE I USED THE HOSE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE THE BEST I COULD UNTIL THE FIRE DEPT ARRIVED. A NISSAN REP INVESTIGATED THE FIRE AND SAID IT WAS NOT THE COMPANY PROBLEM. SHORTLY LATER I RECEIVE THE RECALL CONCERNING THE AC UNIT AND THAT IT MAY LEAD TO FIRE. WE HAD NO INSURANCE AT THE TIME BUT IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IS THIS LEGAL? *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN TITAN P/U AND THROUGH THE YEARS I NOTICED SOME RUST ON MY REAR BUMPER. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECK BEFORE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT IT'S FROM THE RUBBER STRIP THAT IS PLACED ON THE BUMPER AND THAT WHEN YOU STEP ON IT TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE BED IT TENDS TO MOVE AND SCRATCH THE BUMPER AND THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE RUST. I TOLD THE MANAGER I BARELY USE THE BUMPER SO HOW CAN THAT BE THE CAUSE. I ASKED IF THIS IS COVERED SINCE IT'S THE FAULT OF THE RUBBER STRIP AND THE WAY IS WAS PLACED ON THE BUMPER, AND HIS ANSWER WAS NO AND THAT THEY WOULD ONLY COVER IT IF IT WAS ROTTED THROUGH. I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND BY THE TIME IT DOES ROT THROUGH MY WARRANTY WOULD BE EXPIRED. I FEEL THIS IS THE FAULT OF NISSAN FOR NOT USING THE PROPER MATERIAL OR APPLICATION, SO WHY SHOULD I PAY THE PRICE FOR THEIR MISTAKES? I HOPE YOU CAN DIRECT ME ON HOW I CAN RESOLVE THIS MATTER. *TR THANK YOU MR. ALLEN NEALY

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.

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.
