SUNDAY EVENING MY SON WAS DRIVING ONTO AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO I-10 INTERSTATE WHEN THE TRUCK DIED. FUEL GAUGE INDICATED TRUCK HAD FUEL. WOULD NOT START, LEFT ON SIDE OF INTERSTATE UNTIL NEXT DAY. BOUGHT SOME GAS TO PUT INTO TANK WHICH STARTED THE TRUCK. HE DROVE TO FILL TANK ! FUEL GAUGE INACCURATELY DISPLAYS FUEL READING. CALLED NISSAN TO INFORMED THEM OF MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A FUEL SYSTEM RECALL. I WAS TOLD I SERVICED MY TRUCK WITH THIS RECALL WHICH I TOLD CORPORATE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL SYSTEM. I ALWAYS ASK FOR OLD PARTS BUT WAS NOT PROVIDED. TODAY, I TOOK MY TRUCK TO PICAYUNE NISSAN TO GET INFO ON COST, DIAGNOSTICS FOR CORPORATE FOR THEM TO MAKE DECISION TO APPROVE THIS RECALL WORK. I SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE DEALERSHIP SENDS USED PARTS TO CORPORATE BECAUSE THEY PAID FOR WORK. I ASK I SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO INSPECT OLD WORN PARTS?! DEALERSHIP NOW WANTS TO CHARGE ME ABOUT $400.00 FOR THIS RECALL WORK. WHY IS A RECALL WARRANTY ALLOWED A ONE-TIME FIX!?! LEMON COMES TO MIND!!!! THX. *TR
DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY IN NISSAN TITAN. TRUCK FLOOR GOT HOT AT ONE POINT. LATER TRUCK SPUTTERED AND SHUT ITSELF DOWN. I LET IT COOL DOWN AND IT DROVE FINE FOR A WHILE. NEXT DAY ALL OF US IN THE CAR WERE A LITTLE SICK AND NAUSEATED. CAR DROVE FINE THE REST OF THE TRIP AND IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME UP. LOOKED UP THE CODES WHICH WERE THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAD LOSS EFFICIENCY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEAL FOR A COMPLETE DIAGNOSIS. DEALER CONFIRMED ALL 4 CAT CONVERTERS WERE DEAD AND IT PROBABLY CAUSED BY A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWS THAT NISSAN TITANS HAVE A HISTORY OF CRACKS IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS NOT ONLY RUINS THE CAT CONVERTERS BUT EXHAUST FUMES LEAK INTO THE CABIN CAUSING A HEALTH RISK. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THIS BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM YET. *TR

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2006 NISSAN TITAN, WHEN SHE WAS ARRIVING TO AN INTERSECTION AND CAME TO A STOP THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF WITHOUT A WARNING. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY TYPE OF WARNING. MY CONCERN IS FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, WE HAVE A FOUR MONTH OLD BABY THAT WE TRANSPORT ON THAT VEHICLE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE IPDM INOP HAS NO POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP.BUT, I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND I'M NOT THE FIRST INDIVIDUAL WITH THIS PROBLEM; ON ONE INCIDENT A TRUCK, SAME MODEL DIFFERENT YEAR, SHUT OFF ON THE FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED WERE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. NISSAN RIGHT NOW HAS A RECALL WITH THEIR GAS GAUGE, BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK WAS NOT RELATED WITH THE COMPONENT ON RECALL. I QUESTIONED THAT FACT THAT THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE OR ANY TYPE OF WARNING IF THE TRUCKS COMPONENT HAS POWER AND IS ATTACHED TO THE TRUCKS COMPUTER; I COULDN'T GET AN EXPLANATION FROM THE ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER AT THE NISSAN DEALER. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER.

THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT LYNNES NISSAN IN STANHOPE, NJ. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT HAD FAILED AND THE THE 2006 NISSAN TITAN WHICH HAD ABOUT 36,600 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WAS OUT OF WARRENTY. I PAID LYNNES NISSAN $488.00 FOR THE REPAIR.
THE ENGINE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN AFTER LIFTING THE ACCELERATOR FOR ONE TO FIVE SECONDS. THIS OCCURS REGULARLY AND HAS CAUSED TWO VEHICLE TO OBJECT ACCIDENTS. THIS OCCURS IN TRAFFIC, SLOW SPEEDS, HIGH SPEEDS, FORWARD, REVERSE, AND IS EASILY RECREATED. DEALER TECH COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS ISSUE. *TR
MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES TO HAVE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED. THE FIRST TIME THE GAUGE WAS STUCK ON QUARTER OF A TANK OF FUEL WHEN I RAN OUT AND STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING A BUSINESS LUNCH. EACH TIME AFTER WAS DIFFERENT POINTS ON THE GAUGE, BUT ALWAYS THE SAME PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY CLAIM THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED WITH THE UNIT, BUT MY TRUCK AND I DISAGREE. *TR
