2006 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

2006 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEALS BEGAN LEAKING. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF THE PAVEMENT AND HAS HAD ALL MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY THE OWNER MANUAL LIST. *TR

LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED. THEY ARE NORMALLY COVERED UNDER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY OF 8YR/80K MILES. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BY 4,000 MILES. I PUT 4K MILES EVERY 3 MONTHS AND I HAVE HEARD THE TICKING NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD FOR OVER THIS TIME PERIOD. I CONTACTED NISSAN USA FOR LOYAL CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND WAS DENIED. I FILED AN APPEAL AND WAS DENIED WITHIN 2 HOURS. I HAVE OWNED (3) NISSANS IN THE PAST 7 YEARS AND EXPECT SOME COMPENSATION. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM ON ALL TITANS 2004 TO 2007. THIS SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL FOR EXHAUST GASES GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. *TR

I NOTICED AN EXHAUST LEAK ON MY TRUCK. TOOK IT TO A REPUTABLE EXHAUST SHOP, THEY TOLD ME THEIR WAS A CRACK IN THE CONVERTER AND I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER CHECKING THE WEB I REALIZED IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY (80000 ON EXHAUST EMISSIONS) MY TRUCK ONLY HAD 65K. THEY REPLACED BOTH MANIFOLDS AS THEY WERE BOTH CRACKED. THIS REPAIR WOULD HAVE COST ME 2500.00! AFTER SEEING THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TITAN TRUCKS, I THINK THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. ALSO THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I HAD A FRONT DIFFERENTIAL LEAK WHICH WAS THE PINION SEAL, THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME 300-500.00. OF COURSE ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY THIS. AFTER SEEING THIS IS ALSO A COMMON PROBLEM, I FEEL NISSAN NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM FOR BOTH ME AND FELLOW MOTORIST. MY TRUCK HAS 65,000 MILES AND IS BABIED! TOTAL REPAIRS WOULD BE AROUND 3000.00 FOR THE MANIFOLDS AND THE DIFFERENTIAL, I FEEL SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. *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
