2008 Nissan Titan

WE JUST TOOK OUR 2008 NISSAN TITAN INTO HAVE OIL CHANGED WE HAD JUST GOTTEN THE VEHICLE A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED WITH ONLY 66K MILES ON IT! THIS TRUCK IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO TOW PACKAGE AND NOT USED FOR HAULING OR HEAVY WORK. WE HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLES OR WE WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT ONE. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ONLINE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS NOW THAT I HAVE LOOKED UP THE EXACT PROBLEM WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW EXISTED. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL. I HAVE HEARD THAT "THEIR FIX" DOESN'T WORK AND WILL CRACK AGAIN. *TR

AT ALL TIMES WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE REAR END OF MY TRUCK SHAKES FROM 55-80 MILES PER HOUR (PRETTY MUCH THE USABLE SPEED RANGE OF THE TRUCK IS NOW WORTHLESS). THE TRUCK WOBBLES SO MUCH NOW THAT IT FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM I.E. NEW TIRES, NEW RIMS AND NEW TIRES, BALANCING, ALIGNMENTS. RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE HAS DETERMINED THAT THIS IS A VERY WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM AND MANY OWNERS/OPERATORS OF THE NISSAN TITAN REFER TO THIS VIOLENT SHAKING AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" I HAVE SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT NISSAN OF AMERICA IS NOT INTERESTED IN ADDRESSING THIS EPIDEMIC THAT IS EFFECTING SO MANY OF THE TITANS THEY HAVE MANUFACTURED. THE PROBLEM IS LARGE ENOUGH THAT NISSAN HAS PUBLISHED A TSB WHICH INCLUDES NECESSARY PARTS THAT MUST BE PURCHASED THAT MAY ONLY ALLEVIATE THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND NOT CURE IT. I AM SAD THAT NISSAN OF AMERICA IS NOT STANDING BEHIND ITS PRODUCT TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY HAZARDOUS NOT ONLY TO THE OWNER/OPERATOR OF THE TITAN, BUT ALL THOSE THAT ARE SHARING THE ROAD WITH THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES. MY PERSONAL NOTE IS THAT MY TRUCK FEELS SO HAZARDOUS THAT I WILL NO LONGER TRANSPORT MY WIFE OR MY 3 CHILDREN IN IT AND I THINK SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED I BELIEVE IN MAY 2010 FOR A FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER TO BE CHECKED AND ALSO REQUESTED THAT THEY CHECK THE HORN AND BACKUP ALARM WHICH WERE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND DID NOT SEEM TO WORK AT ALL TIMES. THEY CHECKED IT OVER AND SAID THEY WOULD ORDER PARTS AND I WOULD NEED ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK THEY REPLACED A HORN RELAY BUT NOTHING ELSE. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE FUEL UNIT AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT CAME IN. HE SAID THE BACKUP ALARM SEEMED FINE. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH I CALLED AND ASKED IF THEY HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT ME, AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE SENDING UNITS COME FROM JAPAN AND ARE MADE AS ORDERED SO IT COULD TAKE A WHILE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS STRANGE SINCE UNDER THE RECALL THEY SHOULD BE STOCKING THE PART BUT I ACCEPTED HIS EXPLANATION. I MAY HAVE CALLED ONE MORE TIME TO CHECK THE STATUS BUT NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THE DEALER. THE GAUGE SEEMED TO BE WORKING SO I THOUGHT I WOULD LIVE WITH IT. IN JANUARY OF 2013 MY TRUCK RAN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THE GAUGE SHOWED I WAS OVER ONE QUARTER FULL. I NOTIFIED NISSAN OF THIS INCIDENT AND WAS CONTACTED VERY QUICKLY. THE REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE WITH SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED AND I SHOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. I INFORMED HIM THAT I HAD MORE THAN ONCE AND THE ISSUE WAS NEVER CORRECTED SO I DID NOT FEEL I COULD GO THERE AND REQUESTED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME IT HAD TO BE REPLACE BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDER BUT DID OFFER TO HAVE ANOTHER DEALER TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS THEN TOLD THE ORIGINAL DEALER WAS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM EITHER OF THEM. DO I HAVE A RIGHT TO GET THIS RECALL ISSUE AND THE WARRANTY ISSUE RESOLVED? *TR

TOOK MY TITAN IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND THE SERVICE PERSON NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT AND LEFT REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING. THE SERVICE PERSON FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (NTB-10-032) FOR THIS PROBLEM AND BULLETIN SAYS TO REPLACE THE AXLE SHAFT ASSEMBLY WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED ASSEMBLY. THE LEAKING GEAR OIL CAN EASILY GET ON THE REAR BRAKES AND MAKE THEM FAIL. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT JUST A MINOR DEFECT. *TR

THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE KING CAB VERSION FRAYS AND SETS OFF THE AIRBAG LIGHT. THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN NISSAN TITANS, BUT THEY ARE BEFORE THIS MODEL YEAR. NISSAN OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING BECAUSE I READ ABOUT THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET, YET NO ONE CAN GET THE HARNESS AS PART OF A RECALL BECAUSE IT DOESN'T COVER OUR MODEL YEAR. *TR

INITIAL PROBLEM WAS WHEN I STOPPED AT THE LIGHT. THEN WILE IT TURNED GREEN AND TRUCK STARTED ROLLING IT STOPPED JUST LIKE OSMEONE WOULD STEPPED HARDLY ON THE BRAKES OR HIT ME FROM BEHIND. I THOUGHT IT WAS ISOLATED INCIDENT ABOUT COUPLE DAYS LATER IT STARTED MAKING NOISE IN THE REAR SECTION. I STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE. TOWED TO NISSAN SADLY WARRANTY RAN OUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR THE DELIVERY TO NISSAN, HOWEVER INCIDENT HAPPENED PRIOR THE EXPIRATION THE WARRANTY. NISSAN DEALER SAID REAR END ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN SAID THEY WILL NTO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. *TR
