2008 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

I BOUGHT MY 2008 NISSAN TITAN 8/20/08, EVERYTHING WAS GREAT UNTIL ODM HIT ABOUT 3,000 MILES. THAT'S WHEN MY FUEL GAUGE WAS INCONSISTENT ON IT'S READINGS AND EVERY TIME I PUMPED GAS INTO MY TRUCK IT WOULD SPILL GAS OUT. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE NISSAN DEALER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM AND THEY KEPT IT FOR 3 1/2 HOURS WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP THEY SAID THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS AND I SHOULD CHANGE MY GAS GRADE. I TOLD THEM I ONLY PUT 91 IN AND TO GO TO A LESSER GRADE WOULDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS I WIGGLED AND REPOSITIONED THE NOZZLE TO HELP PREVENT THE GAS FROM SPILLING FROM THE TRUCK, MOST OF THE TIME THIS HELPS WITH LESS FUEL COMING OUT. I CALLED THEM AGAIN AND TOLD THEM I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME TWO PROBLEMS THEY SAID AGAIN THEY HADN'T FOUND ANYTHING WRONG BUT I COULD SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. I TOLD THEM I WOULD GO TO ANOTHER MECHANIC. I DID AND BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY SAID I NEEDED TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER EXPLAINING TO THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING THEY SET UP A MEETING WITH ANOTHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WHERE I LEARNED THAT ALL 08 AND 09 TIITANS HAVE NUMEROUS FUEL PROBLEMS. THEY DID REPLACE MY FUEL SENSOR AND SAID WITH THE GAS SPILLING OUT WHILE PUMPING I WOULD HAVE TO PULL THE NOZZLE ALMOST ALL THE WAY OUT AND HOLD THE LEVER ONLY A QUARTER OF THE WAY IN TO PREVENT THE GAS SPILLING OUT. I ASKED HIM WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING HE SAID THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM COULDN'T HANDLE MUCH GAS PER SECOND BECAUSE THE WAY THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS BUILT IT BUILDS UP TO MUCH PRESSURE AND IN RETURN GAS SPILLS OUT. I TOLD HIM I WOULD LIKE IT FIXED AND SAID THERE WAS NO FIX FOR IT EXCEPT TO PULL OUT THE NOZZLE AND LIGHTLY HOLD THE LEVER. I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T FEEL THAT WAS SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO BE DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT BUILDS PRESSURE IN THE FUEL OF ALL PLACES HE SAID MY ONLY OTHER OPTION WAS TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAT IN HIS VEHICLE WILL NOT KEEP THE WINDOWS DEFROSTED IN THE WINTER. THE WINDOWS REMAINED FOGGED AND ICY IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 30 DEGREES, EVEN THOUGH THE DEFROSTER WAS AT ITS MAXIMUM SETTING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE HE CANNOT SEE OUT OF THE WINDOWS WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST THREE TIMES, BUT THEY HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,900. UPDATED 5/6/09 *CN UPDATED 05/08/09.*JB

DURING COLD WEATHER (BELOW 40 DEGREES) WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE WILL INITIALLY SHOW 3/4 TANK AND THEN SLOWLY MOVE UP TO FULL. IT TAKES AS MUCH AS 20 MINS BEFORE THE GAUGE WILL SHOW THE CORRECT FUEL AMOUNT. *TR

WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS FUZZY AND IS HARD TO SEE OUT OF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT OR WHEN IT IS CLOUDY. *TR

AFTER FUELING MY NISSAN TITAN TO FULL THE FUEL GAGE ONLY READS 3/4 TANK. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES OR SO OF DRIVING THE NEEDLE GOES TO FULL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, MY NISSAN TITAN BEGAN TO ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL. I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE MOTOR WAS TOO STRONG. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND THE MOTOR REDLINED AND I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE MOTOR OFF. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAYS THEIR COMPUTER DOES NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I AM WORRIED TO PUT MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE OR LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT. *TR

VEHICLE HAS A VIBRATION/SHAKING PROBLEM. AT 55MPH THE BED SHAKES. AT 65MPH THERE IS A VIBRATION THAT CAUSES THE PASSENGER SEAT TO SHAKE. IT GETS WORSE. AT 70MPH THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES. *TR
