2006 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

2006 NISSAN TITAN. NORMAL DRIVING, THE REAR WHEEL SEAL ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS LEAKING FLUID AGAIN AT 122K MILES. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME THAT IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

THE ENGINE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN AFTER LIFTING THE ACCELERATOR FOR ONE TO FIVE SECONDS. THIS OCCURS REGULARLY AND HAS CAUSED TWO VEHICLE TO OBJECT ACCIDENTS. THIS OCCURS IN TRAFFIC, SLOW SPEEDS, HIGH SPEEDS, FORWARD, REVERSE, AND IS EASILY RECREATED. DEALER TECH COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN IN JULY 08. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN THE ENGINE ROARED THE TRUCK QUICKLY MOVED FORWARD AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED THE TRUCK WAS A CEMENT SPINDLE FENCE. I DESTROYED 10 FEET OF FENCE AND MY INSURANCE HAD TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO NISSAN AND THEY CHECKED IT, BUT THEY STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY THEN PERFORMED THE 30000 MILE MAINTENANCE FOR APPROX $600. THE NISSAN SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT I MUST HAVE PUSHED THE GAS AND THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME TO CAUSE THE ACCIDENT. I THEN TOOK THE TRUCK TO AN OPEN FIELD AND PUSHED THE BRAKE AND THE GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME AND THE TIRES JUST SPUN AND THE TRUCK DID NOT MOVE. I TRIED THE SAME THING IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT, THE TIRES SPUN AND THE TRUCK DID NOT MOVE. I ENDED UP GETTING RID OF THE TRUCK BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID IF THE TRUCK SPED FORWARD ON ITS OWN AGAIN AND I COULD NOT STOP IT I MIGHT GET HURT OR KILLED. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO ROAR AND CAUSE THE TRUCK TO SPEED FORWARD. I FILED A POLICE/ACCIDENT REPORT WITH THE LOCAL POLICE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AROUND A TURN WITH NO LOAD IN THE BED. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING SHACKLE BROKE AT THE WELD. CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST LOST. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES TO HAVE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED. THE FIRST TIME THE GAUGE WAS STUCK ON QUARTER OF A TANK OF FUEL WHEN I RAN OUT AND STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING A BUSINESS LUNCH. EACH TIME AFTER WAS DIFFERENT POINTS ON THE GAUGE, BUT ALWAYS THE SAME PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY CLAIM THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED WITH THE UNIT, BUT MY TRUCK AND I DISAGREE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN AND JUST BEFORE 60,000 MILES THE REAR END FAILED. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 65MPH. THE REAR STARTED TO MAKE NOISE SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO TAKE A LOOK. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK THERE WAS DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ALL OVER THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND UNDER. SO I CALLED A TOW TRUCK. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED I PULL MY TRUCK UP TO THE FLAT BED, WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WENT TO PULL MY NISSAN UP ON THE FLAT BED THE REAR END WAS LOCKED UP, I HAD IT IN NEUTRAL AT THE TIME. I STARTED MY TRUCK AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE, I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO NOTICE MY DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN OFF AND WAS ON THE GROUND. THIS WAS VERY UPSETTING, I JUST KEPT THINKING WHAT IF I HAD THE MUSIC ON OR SOMETHING AND DIDN'T HEAR THE NOISE WHEN I DID. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. A LOCKED UP REAR END OR A DRIVE SHAFT FALLING OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THERE ARE QUITE A BIT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I LOVE MY TRUCK AND HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT, DID ALL MY REQUIRED SERVICES. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I STILL FELL UNDER THE 60,000MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, I HAD ABOUT 56K AT THE TIME, AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR END ASSEMBLY. I WOULD ASSUME THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE FOUND, AND SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

WHILE PERFORMING A TIRE ROTATION, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING. *TR
