MY VEHICLE IMPACTED ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THE REAR AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS; STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS STOPPED WORKING IN 2008, ABS LIGHT REMAINS ON, BACKUP SENSOR WENT OUT 11-17 AND MOST RECENTLY I STARTED MY VEHICLE ONE MORNING AND SPEAKERS STARTED POPPING REALLY LOUD AND IMMEDIATELY SMELLED OF BURNED WIRES AND JUST TWO DAYS LATER VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED. AFTER CHARGING WORKED FINE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT JUST REPEATED THE SAME SITUATION. THIS VEHICLE HAS GAVE ME SO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS STARTING A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE. ALSO NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE A FRAMES WELDED JOINTS IS CRACKED. I AM A CERTIFIED WELDING INSPECTOR AND CAN SAY THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURER DISCONTINUITY. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WENT OUT YEARS AFTER PURCHASE IN 2006. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. I AM THE ONE AND ONLY OWNER AND PURCHASED IT NEW WITH ONLY 17 MILES ON IT. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD SO MANY ELECTRICAL/MECHANICAL ISSUES THAT IM STARTING TO THINK I SHOULD APPLY UNDER LEMON LAW BUT I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.

HAD A RECALL ON THE 2004-2006 AIR BAGS AND TOOK TITAN IN TO UNIVERSITY NISSAN IN FLORENCE, AL. WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL COULD NOT BE COMPLETED ON SOME OF THE 2004-2006 TITANS AND THEY WOULD CONTACT NISSAN TO GET A SOLUTION. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF WAITING I CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND THEN UNIVERSITY NISSAN TRIED AGAIN TO REPROGRAM THE AIRBAGS BUT IT STILL WOULD NOT TAKE. NOW I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS SUSPENDED THE RECALL UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT THEY CAN PRODUCE A PROGRAM TO FIX THIS RECALL. I KNOW, OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM AND NOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ? IF AIR BAGS DECIDE TO GO OFF ON MY VEHICLE, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND THE REPAIRS TO FIX IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY FOR NO REASON ? I NEED MY VEHICLE AND CANNOT PARK UNTIL THEY DECIDE TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE. I NEED SOME HELP IN GETTING THIS RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. IF YOU CANNOT HELP THEN WHERE DO I TURN FOR HELP. EMMETT JONES

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. DIAGNOSTIC GAVE CODE OF CRASH ZONE SENSOR COMMUNICATION ERROR. RESEARCHED ISSUE ON LINE AND SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR SNOW BELT STATES WHICH MAINE IS INCLUDED BUT NOT THE TITAN. CONTACTED NISSAN REGARDING ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER BECAUSE WE ARE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTEE? FIND IT ODD THAT SOME VEHICLES ARE BEING COVERED BUT NOT THIS ONE. PREVIOUSLY TO THE AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE DOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY LOST ALL POWER. THANKFULLY NO VEHICLE BEHIND HIM. HE PULLED OVER INTO BREAKDOWN LANE TRIED TO RESTART VEHICLE WOULDN'T START INITIALLY BUT AFTER 10 MINUTES DID START. NO CODES TO BE READ NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG ISSUE BUT OBVIOUSLY NOT SAFE TO HAVE YOUR VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SHUT DOWN AT 70 MPH.

MY NISSAN TITAN IS SUPPOSEDLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL, HOWEVER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, IT MAY NOT DEPLOY OR MAY DEPLOY WITHOUT ANY REASON. I HAVE TALKED TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN HATTIESBURG, MS, BUT THEY SAID IT IS NOT INCLUDED. IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN, I AM SURE NISSAN WOULD PAY DEARLY. MY NISSAN ALSO HAD THE BRAKE PROBLEM THAT YOU DID THE RECALL ON SEVERAL YEARS BACK , BUT AGAIN, MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT THE NISSAN HERE DID FIX IT AND DID NOT CHARGE ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE I GET KILLED OR INJURED BADLY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A DIRT ROAD MY SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO A DITCH. I CONTACTED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA AND THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WHEN I TOOK IT THERE AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO COVER IT SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK USED AND THEY ASKED WHAT OTHER ACTIONS I WAS GOING TO PURSUE AND I SAID I WAS GOING TO CONTACT A LAWYER AND THEY WERE VERY ADAMANT ABOUT ME NOT CONTACTING A LAWYER WHICH I CONSIDERED TO BE A RED FLAG. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I NOTICED I AM NOT THE ONLY NISSAN TITAN OWNER THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO FILE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE OR SHOP FEES BECAUSE I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE MY FAULT AND FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY SINCE MY WIFE DRIVES THIS TRUCK AND WE HAUL OUR NIECE AND NEPHEW IN THE TRUCK WHEN WE HAVE THEM AND HAD THIS HAPPENED ON OUR FREEWAY AT 75MPH THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER A RAINSTORM THIS VEHICLE (NISSAN TITAN 2006) WAS BEING DRIVEN LATE AT NIGHT ON AN UNPAVED COUNTRY ROAD IN THE VICINITY OF WEBSTER PARISH, LA. AS THE ROAD WAS WET AND THE VISIBILITY WAS VERY LIMITED IT WAS BEING DRIVEN NO FASTER THAN ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THEY RAN INTO A RUT IN THE ROAD WITH THE LEFT FRONT TIRE AND THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. WHEN THE VEHICLE RAN INTO THE RUT IN THE ROAD IT TILTED VERY SLIGHTLY AND THEN RIGHTED ITSELF. THERE WAS NO EXTERIOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PEOPLE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN DRIVEN TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONTACTED NISSAN WHO SAID THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED PROPERLY AND THEY WOULD NOT PAY ANY PART OF REPLACING THEM OR THE SEAT BELTS. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE ALSO SAID THAT THE VEHICLES' COMPUTER SENT OUT AN 'ERROR CODE' THAT THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED OVER. ALSO, WHEN WE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH ANOTHER NISSAN TRAINED AND CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN, WE WERE TOLD THAT 7 OUT OF 10 TITANS HAVE ISSUES WITH THEIR COMPUTERS AND THAT THE SENSOR UNDER THE VEHICLE IS PRONE TO COME LOOSE. IT DOESN'T SEEM LOGICAL THAT A MINOR INCIDENT LIKE THIS COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SEAT BELTS UNLESS THE SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE WAS DEFECTIVE. IT COST MORE THAN $5,000 TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS AND THE SEAT BELTS AND NISSAN WOULD NOT PAY ANY OF THIS AMOUNT. *TR
