2006 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SHACKLE THAT HOLDS THE SPRING TO THE FRAME CRACKED OFF AND SENT THE REAR SPRING UP THROUGH THE BED OF THE PICKUP TRUCK. *TR

11/16/09 CAR (2006 TITAN - CREW CAB) DIED WHILE TURNING OUT OF A STREET OF ON-COMING TRAFFIC. COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY A CAR BUT WASN'T. CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED AFTER A FEW STARTS. 11/17/09 CAR DID NOT START AT ALL; CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT 11/17/09 NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUSPECTED A PROBLEM WITH THE IPDM = INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTOR MODULE- THE PART THAT PROVIDES POWER FOR THE WHOLE VEHICLE TO RUN. SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS INDICATED THAT THE PART IS HARD TO COME BY BECAUSE OF THE BACKLOG IN MANUFACTURING THE PART. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS, IT WAS THE IPDM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WILL TAKE ABOUT 3 WEEKS TO ORDER. AFTER TALKING TO SERVICE REP, THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY HAD SEVERAL CARS THAT WERE WAITING FOR THE PART FOR THEIR CAR. 11/25/09: PART RECEIVED AND CAR WILL BE FIXED BY END OF TODAY AND READY FOR PICK UP. COST OF PART AND LABOR SHOULD NOT BE AT CONSUMER COST BUT AT THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE OF THE INCONVENIENCE THAT THIS HAS CAUSED. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN TITAN 2006 AND HAD TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP 2 TIMES AND NOW I HAVE REAR AXLE LEAKING AND I NOW HAVE 2 CRACKED MANIFOLDS WHICH DEALER TOLD ME IS VERY COMMON ALSO I NEED TO REPLACE THE FLOW FOR HEATING AND COOLING. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THE EXHAUST LEAKING WHICH COULD ONLY BE DONE BY GETTING THE TRUCK VERY HOT WHICH IF I DID I WOULD OF HAD TO DO HEAD GASKETS. WHICH ARE OK. ALSO I HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR IT HAD 2 CRACKS IN WHERE IT IS BOLTED THEY GIVE AND BECAME WEAK. I DON'T ABUSE MY TRUCK I LOVE IT I HAVE NEVER GOT IT HOT I MAINTAIN IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. ALOT OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ARE THE SAME A MINE WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET THIS RESOLVED. CALL ME WE NEED TO BAND TOGETHER AND FIX THIS. *TR

DURING THE LAST TWO MONTHS I HAVE TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE ON MY 2006 TITAN LE. WHEN I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL DEALER, HE INFORM THAT THEY HAVE OTHER TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. BEFORE LONG, THIS SITUATION IS GOING TO KILL SOMEBODY. *TR

THE IPDM RELAY IN MY TRUCK IS MESSED UP, IT BEGAN WITH HAVING A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT CAUSED MY TRUCK TO BASICALLY NOT BE ABLE TO GAIN ANY SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS THE IPDM ISSUE AND THEY WOULD TRY TO FIX IT. OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THEIR TRUCKS SHUT COMPLETELY OFF WHILE RUNNING DOWN THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE IPDM, NISSAN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE HAS NO PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE, AND WILL NOT HELP US OUT. *TR

THERE WAS NOT A CRASH, BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE LED TO ONE. THE REAR AXLE SEALS LEAK ON ALMOST ALL NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCKS. I'VE HAD MINE REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 75,000 MILES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, OIL FROM THE AXLE COVERS THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS, AFFECTING BRAKING ABILITY. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKED AND NEED REPLACEMENT AFTER 60K MILE. I KNOW OF 4 OTHER TITIAN OWNERS THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BASED ON HOW WIDESPREAD THE AXLE SEAL LEAK IS. *TR

ROUTINE INSPECTION OF REAR AXLE REVEALED AXLE SEAL LEAK ON PASSENGER SIDE. LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 53675 MILES NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL. NISSAN REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WEOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS AMERICAN PACIFIC INDUSTRY TIRES, SIZE P265/70/R18 ON A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL TIRES EXCEPT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE ARE OUT OF ROUND. AS A CONSEQUENCE THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVEN IS UNSTABLE. INSTABILITY WHEN DRIVING INCREASES THE RISK FOR VEHICLE CRASH. HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH ASSISTANCE. AS OF CURRENT DATE THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED. HE STILL HAS POSSESSION OF THE TIRES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 500.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN WITH 31,000 MILES ON IT. THE REAR BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING SNAPPED AT THE BEND AND SENT THE ENTIRE LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY THROUGH THE FLOOR OF MY PICKUP BED. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND WILL BE DROPPING THE TRUCK OFF TOMORROW. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. IT SEEMS THAT THE ORIGINAL SHACKLE WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH FOR NORMAL DRIVING. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL REPLACE THE SHACKLE AND TRUCK BED. *TR
