2006 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY FLASHING AND NOTHING ON THE STEERING WHEEL WORKS. CRUISE CONTROL, VOLUME FOR THE RADIO, MODE SELECT AND ETC. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AFTER LOOKING AT OTHER FORUMS WITH NISSAN TITAN OWNERS COMPLAINTS.

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILS AND CAUSES DIFFERENTIAL OIL TO LEAK OUT CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING.

BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND BRAKES WILL GRIND AND CRUNCH WHEN TRYING TO STOP. AFTER SHUTTING OF AND RESTARTING VEHICHLE THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY TEMPORARILY.

I THINK IT WAS IN 2009 WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO NISSAN TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND LIGHT SMOKE OUT OF EXHAUST. RAN DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND OUT THAT CATALYTIC CONVERTERS BROKE UP AND BROKEN MATERIAL WENT BACK (SUCKBACK) INTO ENGINE AND DAMAGED PISTON RINGS WHICH WAS CAUSING IT TO SMOKE. TOLD ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE ENGINE CAUSE IT WAS PRETTY MUCH NO GOOD. THIS TRUCK WAS 3 YRS. OLD AT THE TIME. WARRANTY WAS OUT AND WAS AND COST ME A FORTUNE TO REPLACE ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM. I HAD NO IDEA TIL NOW HOW MANY 2006 TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS TO BE RECALLED.

MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AFTER BEING INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT. THERE IS ONGOING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH SHORTING OUT BATTERY OVERNIGHT WHEN RADIO IS CONNECTED. NISSAN REMOVED FUSE AND CAN'T LOCATE THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE. CONDENSER FAN HAS GONE OUT.

OVERHEATED, ENGINE WOULD NOT START, TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT TO GO MOSTLY SLUGGISH. THIS IS MY 3RD TIME TITAN OVERHEATED, HAD TO BE TOWED.

WHEN IN MOTION, VEHICLE BRAKES OCCASIONALLY FAIL. DYNAMIC CONTROL OFF LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, AND SLIP LIGHT TURN ON AT SAME TIME THAT BRAKE PEDAL LOSES ALL RESISTANCE AND IS EASILY PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. BRAKE POWER SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED AND NEED TO BE ACTIVELY PUMPED TO SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP. AT A STOP, VEHICLE CAN BE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON THEN WARNING ALL LIGHTS WILL GO OFF AND BRAKES OPERATE AS NORMAL. DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. OCCURS 6-7 TIMES PER YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V459000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) BY HENDERSON NISSAN (295 AUTO MALL DR, HENDERSON, NV 89014, (702) 558-5800); HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ELECTRICAL WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WIRE HARNESS FOR THE REAR POWER SLIDER (BEHIND THE REAR SEAT) CAUGHT ON FIRE. FIRE MARSHALL SAID IT WAS A FAULTY WIRE HARNESS. CAUGHT OUR CARSEATS AND THE ENTIRE CAB, AND BED ON FIRE. VEHICLE WAS OFF, PARKED AND VACANT WHEN THE FIRE WAS VISIBLE, BUT ONLY FOR 10 MINUTES, SO IT MAY HAVE STARTED WHEN IT ON, AND WASN'T VISIBLE RIGHT AWAY.

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SHOWING P0335 CODE ISSUES, WHICH IS CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, WHICH HAS BEEN REPLACED, MY RPM'S JUMP/SPUTTER BUT THE TRUCK STARS & RUNS BUT FEELS LIKE ITS RUNNING ROUGH, ALSO I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT MY DASHBOARDS "SLIP" LIGHT REMAINS ON... AND THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH IT IS THAT, NO "PROFESSIONALS" SEEM TO KNOW WHAT IT IS, NOR HAVE THEY BEEN ABLE TO FOGURE IT OUT AS OF YET.
