2007 Nissan Titan

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WON'T OPEN WHEN THE TEMP IS COLD. THE HANDLE COMES OUT BUT THE DOOR WON'T OPEN. WHEN I FINALLY DID GET IT OPEN, IT WOULDN'T CLOSE, THE LATCH WOULD NOT MOVE TO CATCH THE POST. I PUT IT IN MY GARAGE OVER NIGHT, AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE SOLVED, BUT THE NEXT TIME I LEFT IT OUT, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. *TR

NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE, WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD HEARD A POP, WHEN MAKING A HARD LEFT TURN. WENT TO THE SHOP, TURNED IN AGAIN, HARD RIGHT, LOUD POP COME FROM REAR END. PUT TRUCK ON LIFT IN SHOP, DRAINED DIFF FLUID, GEAR PIECES CAME OUT. ADVISED DEALER IN THE MORNING, WAS TOLD NOT TO BRING IT IN, THEY WOULD CHECK WITH NISSAN TO SEE IF IT WOULD BE REPLACED UNDER GOODWILL. WAS DENIED ON 11/16/2007. *TR

THIS IS MY 2ND NISSAN TITAN IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS! I TRADED IN A 2005 WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES BECAUSE OF 3 FULL TIRE SET REPLACEMENTS AND NEW BRAKES AT 6,000 MILES AND PROBLEMS THAT THE DEALER STATED ARE CURRENTLY FIXED IN THE NEW 2007 MODELS. MY NEW 2007 AT 1200 MILES DEALER REPLACED DEFECTIVE RIMS WITH A NEW SET OF DEFECTIVE RIMS THAT ARE A AFTER MARKET PLASTIC HUBCAP GLUED TO THE STEEL RIM WHICH IS CLICKING AND POPPING WHILE IN MOTION AND AFTER 15 MINUTES DRIVING WHEN I PARK THEY STILL POP AND CLICK UNTIL THEY COMPLETELY COOL DOWN WHICH IS ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER. I ALSO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW GO DOWN BY ITSELF AND STOP EXACTLY AT 3 INCHES AFTER I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE IT, MY AC DOES NOT COOL AT ALL AND OFTEN DOES NOT COME ON EVEN WHEN MY GPS SCREEN SAYS IT IS SET ON HIGH AND RUNNING I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN OFF TRUCK THEN RESTART TRUCK TO GET AC TO COME ON. DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A TSB ON IT THAT I GAVE THEM! DEALER SAID WINDOW PROBLEM IS DUE TO GEORGIA HEAT, IT IS DOING WHAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO DO BUT MY OTHER 3 WINDOWS DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM! MY RIMS THEY STATED THAT THEY WANT TO PUT MORE GLUE A TSB TECH TO FIX THE PROBLEM! THAT IS NOT A REPAIR THAT IS A BAND AID THAT WILL NOT HOLD WITH THE HEAT TIRES PUT OFF! AS OF NOW I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANY NISSAN EVER AGAIN AND I WILL BE BUYING NEW RIMS FOR MY TRUCK AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS NOT HELPED AT ALL WHAT SO EVER ONLY TELL ME TO DO THE TSB GLUE REPAIR AND EVEN THOUGH I PAID 1800.00 EXTRA FOR CHROME RIM PACKAGE THEY WILL NOT REFUND OR PURCHASE NEW RIMS AT ALL SO I AM ON MY OWN. *TR

A 7 WAY TRAILER PLUG ADAPTER WAS PLUGGED UPSIDE DOWN INTO A 2007 NISSAN TITANS RECEPTACLE SOCKET AND IT CAUSED THE CHASSIS WIRING HARNESS, THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS AND THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS TO ALL MELT DOWN. OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE ALSO PROBABLY DAMAGED. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROPERLY DESIGNED CIRCUIT TO LIMIT THE DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR IT MALFUNCTIONED. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE DID NOT CATCH FIRE, THE PLASTIC COATING ON THE WIRING WAS MELTED DOWN, THE PLUG ADAPTER WAS VERY HOT AND IT POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FIRE IF THE PLUG WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT IN LONG ENOUGH. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THIS DEFECT BE INVESTIGATED BY NISSAN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GAS MILEAGE WAS FAR FROM WHERE THE STANDARDS SHOULD BE ACCORDING TO NHTSA, WHO STATED THAT THE STANDARDS SHOULD BE 18 MPG, BUT THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS AT 13.8 MPG ON A FLAT HIGHWAY. WHEN THERE WAS STIFF WIND THE READING INDICATESD14.1 MPG. WHEN HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER THEY STATED THAT NO FAILURE WAS PRESENT, AND IT WAS NHTSA'S RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THEY MANDATED THE RULING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE SHOP, AND NO FAILURES WERE FOUND ONCE AGAIN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 3,326, AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,226. *AK

TL*-THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE 2007 NISSAN TITAN WITH 8,000 FAILURE MILEAGE AT 65 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL, AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE THE CONTACT PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED THAN EXPECTED. THE CONTACT PRESSED ON THE BRAKE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL MANUALLY, PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND HIT THE BRAKES TO REGAIN CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS REVVING AND SOUNDED ROUGH AFTER THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE THROTTLE CHAMBER WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE THREE TIMES AFTER THE REPAIR. *AK UPDATE *4/23/07 *TR
