NISSAN Complaints

2006 NISSAN TITAN EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKED AGAIN. FIXED AT DEALER AT 62,837, REPLACED BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WITH NEW ONES. NOW AT 118023 MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED AGAIN, OUT OF WARRANTY AND DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP REPAIR SOMEWHERE AROUND $2900 TO FIX BOTH. I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND HAD I KNOWN PREVIOUSLY I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. NISSAN REPLACED THE FAULTY MANIFOLDS WITH THE SAME NEW FAULTY MANIFOLDS. *TR

JAMMED CAR INTO GEAR WITHOUT PRESSURE CLUTCH RESULTED IN SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES TO THE TRANSMISSION GEARS. NISSAN REPLACED THE FAILED CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $400.00. TRANSMISSION WAS FIXED BY NISSAN UNDER WARRANTY. 2ND OCCURENCE - MARCH 2013 ~58,000 MILES SUDDEN PARTIAL LOSS (1/2) OF CLUTCH PEDAL PRESSURE WHILE DRIVING HOME IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. NO LONGER CAN DRIVE CAR DUE TO SAFETY/RELIABILITY CONCERNS. IN BOTH OF THE OCCURENCES ABOVE, FULL CLUTCH PRESSURE RETURNED AFTER LETTING CAR SIT AND COLL DOWN FOR APPROXIMATELY 1/2 HOUR. A SEARCH OF THE WE REVEALED THAT MANY DRIVES OF NISSAN'S OF THIS VINTAGE HAVE EXPERIENCED IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS OF CLUTCH PEDAL PRESSURE FAILURE. DEALER WILL NOT ADMIT IT IS A PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. ON THANKSGIVING EVENING MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING HOME ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A CLUNK AND LOST ACCELERATION. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO CROSS 3 LANES TO TRY AND GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER. WE NEARLY GOT HIT BY MANY PASSING CARS DUE TO THE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AND SLOWING OF MY TRUCK. AFTER FINALLY TOWING THE TRUCK TO THE SHOP I FOUND OUT THAT, FOR THE SECOND TIME, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT 75000 MILES AND THE SECOND AT 125000 MILES. BOTH TIMES I AM STUCK FOOTING THE BILL. NEEDLESS TO SAY MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION IS STILL SITTING BROKEN UNTIL I AM ABLE TO PAY THE 3500 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. *TR

NISSAN MURANO 96" BEGAN LEAKING ENGINE OIL, WENT IN TO FIX UNDER A NISSAN WARRANTY. LEAK WAS NOT FIXED AND THE POWER STEERING BEGAN TO LEAK. SERVICE MANAGER AT DEALERSHIP, AUTOBARN NISSAN, DON MEKOOLA TOLD ME THESE ENGINES BEGIN LEAKING AT THIS POINT AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT EVEN OFFER ENOUGH ON A TRADE TO WHOLESALE THE MURANO. THAT TELLS YOU ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. NISSAN USA WILL DO NOTHING AND THE DEALER WILL DO NOTHING. I HAD NO IDEA THE CAR WAS THIS BAD A SHAPE AND CONTINUED DRIVING IT. NOW I FOLLOW DON'S ADVICE AND TOP OFF BOTH ENGINE OIL AND POWER STEERING FLUID EVERY WEEK. NOT THE BEST ANSWER, BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE. *TR

PEDALS ON MY 2007 NISSAN MURANO ARE MOVING ON THEIR ON ACCORD. APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE WIRING. DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY $315 TO FIX. THEY HAD AGREED TWO YEARS AGO TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY NEVER DID. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I OWN A NISSAN ALTIMA WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT HAS FAILED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED. THE CAR RPM'S RUN UP AT THE SAME TIME AND THE CAR CAN NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40-45 MPH. I HAVE FOUND OUT NISSAN HAS HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THESE TRANSMISSION FROM 2007 ON. NISSAN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAG DEFAULT WARNING ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. DEALER SAYS AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK UNLESS AN INTERIOR HARNESS FROM AIRBAG/SEAT WEIGHT CUSHION/COMPUTER IS REPLACED. DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE REPLACED "A BUNCH" OF THEM ON NISSAN ARMADAS. COST IS $459 AND AIR BAGS WON'T WORK UNTIL IT IS REPLACED. DEALER SAYS NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A SAFETY/WARRANTY CAMPAIGN ON THIS FAULTY ITEM. DEALER IS "DOUGLAS NISSAN" IN COLLEGE STATION TX. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. I CURRENTLY HAD AN OIL CHANGE AT A LOCAL GARAGE AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTED WITH HOLES STARTING TO FORM. MY CAR ONLY HAS 85,000 MILES AND IS KEPT IN THE GARAGE AND WASHED OFTEN. THIS IS THE ONLY SPOT ON MY CAR THAT I HAVE ANY RUST. I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE ALTIMAS. I HAD JUST HAD A STICKER PUT ON BY NISSAN AND ALSO A 72 POINT INSPECTION AND WAS NEVER INFORMED BY THEM THAT THERE WAS HOLES UNDERNEATH MY CAR! NISSAN SAID THEY WOULD GO HALF ON THE COST OF REPAIRING BOTH FRONT FLOORBOARDS WHICH WOULD COST ME $400.00 WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. MY MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS ISSUE IS COME WINTER TIME, I WILL HAVE HOLES THROUGH MY FLOORBOARDS AND WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN MY CAR, I AM EXTREMELY CONSERNED ABOUT HAVING TOXIC FUMES ENTER INTO MY CAR WHICH COULD LEAD TO PASSING OUT OR THE FACT THAT MY FOOT COULD GO RIGHT THROUGH THE FLOOR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN SHOULD BE BACKING UP THEIR PRODUCTS AS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THEIR METAL. *TR

(1) I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SEATBELTS IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY 2011 NISSAN TITAN. THEY TIGHTEN UP ON THE OCCUPANTS AND I HAVE TO STOP MY TRUCK IN ORDER TO RELEASE THEM, BUT THEN THEY TIGHTEN UP AGAIN. A SWITCH FOR ADULTS OR CHILDREN MAY FIX THE PROBLEM. (2) AS WELL, THE FRONT FLOOR MATS THAT WERE INSTALLED AT THE DEALER MALFUNCTIONED. THE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT HAD ONE HOLE FOR RESTRAINT AND IT SHOULD HAVE HAD TWO HOLES. THE FLOOR MAT CAUGHT UP IN THE ACCELERATOR AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 50 KPH AND THE ENGINE REVVED WIDE OPEN. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT IT OFF. THAT LEFT ME WITH NO POWER STEERING AND I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SINCE REPLACED THE FRONT FLOOR MATS AND THE PROBEM IS SOLVED. OWNERS OF THE NISSAN TITANS SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT THE PROPER FLOOR MATS ARE INSTALLED IN THEIR TRUCKS PRIOR TO DRIVING THEM. (3) THESE TRUCKS SHOULD NOT BE DELIVERED WITH A P TIRE ON THEM. AT THE VERY LEAST THEY SHOULD HAVE AN LT TIRE. I HAVE HAD THREE FLAT TIRES ON MY TRUCK IN 5 MONTHS AND IT IS NOT USED ON CONSTRUCTION SITES AT ALL. *TR

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
