IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR MY NISSAN TITAN CONCERNING THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE PEDDLE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT IN YET. I CALLED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF JUNE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN RELEASED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER LAUGHED AND SAID "YOU COULD BRING IT BUT IT MAY SIT HERE FOR SIX MONTHS OR MORE". I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE RECALL LETTER IS ALL THE MANUFACTURER IS REQUIRED TO DO. IS THIS TRUE? WHERE ARE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM? IS THERE SOME AGENCY THAT MAKES SURE THAT THE MANUFACTURER FOLLOWS THROUGH ON THE RECALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER? *TR

2008 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 LONG WHEEL BASE...KNOCKING SOUND BEGAN WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE 55-70 MPH. NEXT DAY A WHINE DEVELOPED ON ACCELERATION / DECELERATION. NOTED LEAKS AT FRONT AND REAR SEALS ON DIFFERENTIALS. TOOK TO DEALER; WITHOUT REMOVING INSPECTION COVERS DIAGNOSED FAILED REAR ASSEMBLY. STATED FAIRLY COMMON - TOLD TO PURSUE MY COMPLAINT FOR ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CUSTOMER SERVICE. FLUIDS ADDED -- WHEN MY HUSBAND LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE WHINING DETERIORATED INTO A CONSTANT BANGING CONSISTENT WITH SPEED. HUSBAND WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND DROVE THE VEHICLE AT 30 MPH TO OUR DRIVEWAY. AT THIS POINT THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED A HARD SHUDDER. II WAS FORTUNATE THAT THE FAILURE DID NOT OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEED AS HE DRIVES 50K PER YEAR ON THE INTERSTATE AND GIVEN THE GRYO TYPE SHUDDER NOW NOTICEABLE AT 30 MPH ONE CAN IMAGINE WHAT A FRAGMENTED DIFFERENTIAL AND LOOSE DRIVE SHAFT MIGHT HAVE DONE.
