2006 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN TITAN WHICH HAS HAD TWO REAR AXLE SEALS LEAK. BOTH WERE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY BY MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN TITANS AND POSES A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE LEAKS ALLOW REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL TO LEAK ON THE REAR BRAKES. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE. OIL FROM THE LEAK SPILLED ONTO BRAKES CAUSING RIGHT REAR BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION CANNOT BE DOWNSHIFTED. I WAS TOWING A LARGE BOAT AND LIMITED TO 10MPH SPEED AND WAS UNABLE TO DOWNSHIFT THE ENGINE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAS SENDING UNIT WHICH WAS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER: STORAGE: FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,050. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,558.

TRUCK STALLS WITH NO WARNING ABOUT ONCE A DAY. THE LATEST INCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. NISSAN REPLACED THE IPDM AT A COST OF $600 . *TR

THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT LYNNES NISSAN IN STANHOPE, NJ. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT HAD FAILED AND THE THE 2006 NISSAN TITAN WHICH HAD ABOUT 36,600 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WAS OUT OF WARRENTY. I PAID LYNNES NISSAN $488.00 FOR THE REPAIR.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE LEAF SPRING SHACKLE COMPLETELY BROKE CAUSING THE SPRING TO GO THROUGH THE BED OF THE TRUCK. THERE WAS A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE INSPECTION. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 58,000.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 TITAN CREW CAB SINCE 2008 AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE BRAKE SERVICE REQUESTS PERFORMED FOR "BRAKE JUDDER". PREVIOUS SOLUTION WAS TO TURN THE ROTORS BACK TO TRUE UNTIL ROTORS CAN NO LONGER BE TURNED AND NEW OEM ROTORS ARE ACQUIRED THAT WILL START THE WHOLE PROCESS OVER AGAIN. THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX FOR THE LARGER PROBLEM. BRAKE ROTOR SIZE AND MATERIAL SELECTED FOR THE 2006 NISSAN TITAN MODEL IS INADEQUATE TO PROVIDE ENOUGH SURFACE AREA AND VENTING FOR PROPER HEAT DISSIPATION TO PREVENT WARPAGE OF THE OEM BRAKE ROTORS. THIS BRAKE ROTOR TURNING SERVICE WAS PERFORMED 10,000 MILES AGO, 5,000 MILES AGO AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN NEED OF THE SAME SERVICE. A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES THAT IS DRIVEN LESS THAN 12,000 MILES PER YEAR SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD 3 BRAKE SERVICE ISSUES FOR THE SAME MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. MY PERSONAL SOLUTION (BECAUSE NISSAN HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DEFECT IN NEED OF A RECALL) IS TO UPGRADE THE OEM BRAKE HARDWARE WITH AFTERMARKET PERFORMANCE SLOTTED AND DIMPLED ROTORS AND CERAMIC BRAKE PADS TO PROVIDE FOR ADEQUATE HEAT DISSIPATION AND PREVENT ROTOR WARPAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT THERE WERE FUSES MISSING IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER; HOWEVER, NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,100 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP THAT HAS HAD THE REAR AXLE SEALS REPLACED TWO TIMES AND HAD IT IN FOR A THIRD TIME AND WAS TOLD IT WAS RESIDUAL OIL FROM THE PREVIOUS REPAIR AND NSENT ON MY AWY WEWLL IT WAS LEAKING AGAIN AND NOW HAS TO GO BACK FOR A FOURTH TIME IN ABOUT 3000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 28000 MILES ON IT. THIS LEAK HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GET GEAR OIL ALL OVER THE REAR DISC BRAKES CAUSING POOR BRAKING, ALSO IF THE REAR END SIEZED UP FROM LACK OF OIL IT COULD CAUSE YOU TO GO OUT OF CONTROL.
