2008 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

THE BRAKE LIGHTS SIGNAL TURNS ON AND A LIGHT GRINDING NOISE CAN BE HEARD AND BRAKES GO OUT. I HAVE TO STOP FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TURN OFF MY TRUCK. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I TURN ON THE TRUCK AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURNS OFF AND MY BRAKES START WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN TWICE. THANK GOD THAT THE TIMES IT HAS HAPPEN THERE HAS BEEN HARDLY ANY TRAFFIC. ALTHOUGH, ONE DAY IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY SO I CALMED DOWN, RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL AND CRUISED TO THE NEXT EXIT AND PULLED INTO A GAS STATION. ALL THIS TIME THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR IS FULL SO AFTER TURNING OFF THE TRUCK AND TURNING IT BACK ON AGAIN, THAT SOLVES THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO TAKE VACATIONS ON THE TRUCK AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT LIKE THIS, ESPECIALLY WITH MY THREE KIDS IN THE BACK. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I HAVE IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT JUST STAYS ON AND FLASHING. I'VE TRIED HAVING IT RESET BUT IT DOESN'T WORK. WE HAVE A 2007 NISSAN ARMADA ALSO AND IT HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS MY TITAN. WE THOUGHT THAT BY BUYING NISSAN WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES, BUT WE WERE WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS CORRODED, WHICH COULD PREVENT THE AIR BAGS FROM DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V690000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

WINDSHIELD WASHER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING. NOW WHEN THE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE BAD THE VISIBILITY IS DRASTICALLY LOWERED. THE MORE I RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM AND THE ONE WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER NOT SHUTTING OFF THE MORE I NOTICE THAT THESE ARE WIDE SPREAD AND VERY COMMON ISSUES.

THE MECHANISM THAT GOES TO THE AIR CONDITIONER REMAINS ON AFTER THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN FAST. IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MANY TIMES EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF.

HOSE CAME LOOSE FROM TRANSMISSION DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AND LEFT ME SIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAD NO WARNING AND I LOST ALL TRANSMISSION FLUID.. I REATTATCHED THE HOSE ADDED THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FLUID. DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 4 DAY EVERYTHING WAS FINE TRY TO GO RO WORK THERE IS NO 4TH GEAR.. TAKE IT TO SHOPS RO FIND OUT ITS GONNA COST ME 4500.00 FOR NEW TRANSMISSION CAPACITOR AND NEW RADIATOR.. THE ANTI FREEZE LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE INSIDE OF TRANNY TO BE DEATROYED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, A NOISE WAS DETECTED FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GRAINGER NISSAN (1550 CHATHAM PKWY, SAVANNAH, GA 31408, (912) 480-6996) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MANIFOLD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 167,000.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY THE REAR CONSOLE WHICH CONTAINS THE REAR INTERIOR LIGHTS FELL DOWN. NOW THE FRONT OVERHEAD CONSOLE IS FALLING , NOT FALLEN ALL THE WAY, BUT RIGHT SIDE IS ALREADY LOSE. IT WILL NOT BE LONG THAT THE FRONT WILL FALL , WHEN IT DOES I HOPE IT IS STATIONARY SO THAT MY WIFE, DAUGHTER OR MYSELF WHO EVER IS DRIVING WILL NOT BE HIT BY THE FALLING CONSOLE AND POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT HARMING MY OTHER DAUGHTER AND SON, OR ANYONE ELSE THAT COULD BE IN HARMS WAY, AS A RESULT OF THIS POOR QUALITY PLASTIC USED MAKING THESE CONSOLES. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSANUSA ABOUT THIS AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THEY ' UNFORTUNATELY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING DUE TO THE VEHICLES MILEAGE ' I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS FAULTY PLASTIC. WHEN THE FRONT CONSOLE FALLS IT WILL LEAVE MY WIFE , DAUGHTER AND MYSELF IN THE DARK, WITH NO INTERIOR LIGHTING!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD FRACTURED. NISSAN OF QUEENS (93-25 ROCKAWAY BLVD, OZONE PARK, NY 11416) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000.

FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELING "SPONGY" AND OCCASIONALLY GOING TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ANY REDUCTION IN SPEED. THE BRAKE PEDAL PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE AND CULMINATED WHEN I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND TRIED TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO SLOWER TRAFFIC. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO SWERVE INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO KEPT IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. HE REPLACED SEVERAL BRAKE COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS, MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE BOOSTER, AND THE ABS MODULE. HE THEN BLED THE BRAKE LINES MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THE BRAKE PEDAL BACK TO ITS NORMAL RANGE. ALL OF THIS WORKED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND THEN THE PROBLEM RETURNED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER ON JANUARY 31, 2018 AND HAD THE FOLLOWING DONE. THEY PERFORMED ANOTHER BRAKE FLUSH, CLEANED AND ADJUSTED THE REAR CALIPERS, AND CLEANED AND LUBRICATED THE SLIDES AND PAD CONTACTS. I PICKED THE TRUCK UP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT LIKE NEW. IT HAS NOW BEEN A LITTLE OVER THREE MONTHS AND THE BRAKE PEDAL IS GRADUALLY FALLING TOWARDS THE FLOOR DURING BRAKING, SIMILAR TO PAST EXPERIENCE. BRAKING DISTANCES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION HAVE INCREASED AND THE BRAKING POWER DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THERE ANYMORE.
