"TAKATA RECALL" REAR AXELS AND DIFFERENTAL LEAKING AFTER BEING REPLACED 3 TIMES WHEN FIRST DISCOVERED IN 2016. VEHICLE IS VERY SHAKEY AND BREAKS ARE NOT RESPONSIVE AND OIL SMELL IS HORRIFIC
THE AIR BAGS LIGHT IS PLANNING. TIRE PRESSURE ALERT TPMS LIGHT IS PLANNING. *TR
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE REAR TIRE FLEW OFF (PASSENGER). HAD WE BEEN EVEN A 1/4 OF A MILE FURTHER WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THIS COULD HAVE KILLED US AND ANY ON COMING TRAFFIC. WHEN WE WENT TO REPAIR NISSAN DEALER WANTED HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS MORE FOR PARTS/GAVE US WRONG PARTS AND WE HAD TO TRAVEL SEVERAL MILES AND MAKE SEVERAL TRIPS TO HAVE CAR REPAIRED...THROUGH NO HELP OF NISSAN SHOP.. *TR
WHILE WAITING FOR MY WIFE TO COME OUT OF A STORE WITH TRUCK RUNNING I NOTICED A LIGHT FLICKERING IN THE STORE WINDOW. MY WIFE CAME OUT OF THE STORE AND GOT INTO THE TRUCK. WHILE BACKING OUT I NOTICED THE FLICKERING LIGHT IN THE WINDOW COMING WITH ME. WHEN I STOPPED THE TRUCK I NOTICED SMOKE COMING UP OVER MY HOOD THEN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK STARTED TO GET WARM. I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL AND TOLD MY WIFE THAT I THINK MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK, WENT TO THE FRONT AND SAW THE CONDENSER FAN MOTOR ON FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITH A CAN OF COKE THAT WAS ON THE GROUND. A LITTLE WHILE LATER IT FLAMED UP AGAIN AND HAD TO GET A BUCKET OF WATER FROM THE STORE CLERK. THE FIRE CAUSED OVER $4100.00 IN DAMAGE. I HAD A RECALL ON THIS CONDENSER FAN MOTOR, HAD IT TAKEN CARE OF IN FEBRUARY 2012. CAUGHT FIRE ON 09/02/2013. *TR
ABOUT A MONTH AGO I NOTICE A WEIRD NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK WHENEVER I WOULD SLOW DOWN AND SOMETIMES SPEED UP. AS THE WEEK WENT BY I NOTICE THE NOISE GETTING LOUDER. IT STARTED OUT WITH A CLICKING SOUND THEN IT INTENSIFIED WITH A CLUCKING SOUND. AFTER HAVING A LOCAL SHOP LOOK AT MY TRUCK THEY FOUND FLUIDS BY THE RIGHT BREAK, WHICH INDICATED THAT A SEAL HAD GONE BAD AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE CLUCKING AND CLICKING NOISES ARE FROM THE GEARS IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. PIECES OF THE GEARS HAD BROKEN OFF. THEY ESTIMATED A JOB LIKE THIS WOULD RUN ABOUT $3500!!! I DO NOT HAVE THE KIND OF MONEY! I HAVE READ ALL THE TREADS POSTED BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE CONTACT NISSAN'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AND GOT NOWHERE! PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW I CAN HAVE NISSAN PAY FOR THIS!!! *TR
REAR AXLE SEAL, DRIVER SIDE, AND SOON AFTER, THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL, FAILED. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKED OUT ONTO INNER WHEEL SURFACE, BRAKE PARTS, AND IMMEDIATE AREA CREATING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM FOR NISSAN TITAN OWNERS AND NISSAN IS, AND HAS BEEN, WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT OFFERED A DESIGN SOLUTION TO MY KNOWLEDGE. NEARLY EVERY TITAN EXPERIENCES THIS SEAL FAILURE AT SOME POINT. SOME WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, (WHICH TYPICALLY GET REPAIRED BY NISSAN) BUT AS FOR THE REST OF US WHO ARE BEYOND OUR WARRANTIES, WE ARE LEFT WITH THIS HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND A BIG REPAIR BILL. **THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, OR AT LEAST REPAIRED BY NISSAN AT THEIR EXPENSE. ITS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUTLINING THE ISSUEFOR NISSAN MECHANICS. PLEASE HELP** *TR
ON A RECALL FOR A FAULTY ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE). THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN, HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER. NISSAN COVERED THIS ECM. DURING THE REPAIR THE MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING AND RECOMMENDED THAT THEY BE REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE COST TO REPAIR WAS ESTIMATED AT $750.00. WHILE WEB SURFING FOR THE REPAIR PROCESS FOR THE SEALS I RAN ACROSS MANY COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN INCLUDING MODELS FROM 2004 TO PRESENT (2012). BASED ON THE FEEDBACK FROM OTHER TITAN OWNERS, THIS IS A COMMON FLAW WITH THE VEHICLE AND A COSTLY ONE AT THAT. ALSO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER WITNESSED REAR AXLE SEALS FAILING IN A VEHICLE. MOST SEEM TO LAST THE LIFE TIME OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURE'S RESPONSIBLITY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PARTS CREATING AN UNSAFE AND USELESS MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TT
2006 NISSAN TITAN ONLY 35,000 MILES AND BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKED AND WERE LEAKING EXHAUST GASES THAT COULD NOT BE FED INTO CATALYTIC CONVERTERS..DEALER REPLACED UNDER EMISSIONS WARRANTY SINCE EXHAUST MANIFOLD/CATALYTIC CONVERTER ARE A SOLID 1 PIECE UNIT. THEY REPLACED WITH IDENTICAL DEFECTIVE PIECES THAT I AM POSITIVE WILL CRACK LIKE THE ORIGINAL ONES..PLEASE CHECK ONLINE TITAN FORUMS AND YOU WILL SEE IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALMOST EVERY TITAN..MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS THEY "AUTOMATICALLY CHECK EVERY TITAN" FOR THIS ISSUE..I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CAMPAIGN BECAUSE IT IS SO COMMON AND NOT FROM DRIVER ERROR/ABUSE, AND ONCE ANY TITAN IS OUT OF THE 8 YEAR/80000 MILE COVERAGE IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR TOTALING OVER 2,000 DOLLARS! MOST TITAN OWNERS REPORT A TICKING SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD ESPECIALLY UNDER COLD START UP-I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS ON MINE SO I HAD NO IDEA MINE WERE CRACKED THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO INSPECT AS MANY TITANS AS POSSIBLE FOR THIS EMISSIONS ISSUE. *TR

SO OF THESE ISSUES ARE JUST NOW POPPING. ONLY 2 OF THE ISSUES HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. PER THE DEALERSHIP I WOULD BE CONTACTED AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CALLS TO GET THESE MATTERS TAKEN CARE OF. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE SINCE THE ISSUES HAVE NOT BE ADDRESSED.
BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS SO BAD THE GEAR OIL HAS SLUNG ALL OVER THE WHEEL AND THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES ARE DRIPPING WET. *TR
NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCK- 5 SPOKE WHEEL SPOKE CRACKED. AS THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE CRACK DID WORSEN AND CAUSED INCREASED VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE WHEEL FOR IMPACT DAMAGE, NON WAS OBSERVED. THE 18IN ALLOY WHEEL WAS REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP. NO OTHER WHEEL COMPONENTS, SPOKES HAD ANY DAMAGE. THIS IS A MECHANIC BREAKDOWN OF A TIRE-WHEEL COMPONENT WHICH WILL CAUSE FATALITIES. *TR
MY DANA AXLE SEALS STARTED LEAKING AT 35,000 MILES. IT GETS ALL OVER THE BRAKES, CAN CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE. NISSAN WARRANTED THE PROBLEM REPLACED ENTIRE REAR AXLE. MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME TRUCK HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE 90%. *TR
NISSAN TITAN -WHEEL SPOKE CRACKED THROUGH ONE WHEEL SPOKE OF THE 18 INCH CHROME ALLOY, 5 SPOKE WHEEL RIM CRACKED IN TWO. THE BRAKE WAS UNSTABLE AND NEAR THE MIDPOINT OF THE SPOKE. IT WAS CLEARLY VISIBLE FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE WHEEL. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF IMPACT OR STRESS THAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THE FRACTURE. THE OTHER SPOKES REMAINED INTACT, BUT THIS WA S A HAZARDOUS SITUATION.*AK
