2009 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

HEADLAMP UNIT FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE. WATER INTRUSION INTO THE UNIT CAUSING MOISTURE BUILDUP WITH RESULTING CLOUDINESS, CALCIUM LIKE ETCHING, AND SPIDER WEB-LIKE CRACKING OF THE PLASTIC LENS. POOR UV SUN BLOCKING ABILITY OF THE PLASTIC LENS TO RETARD YELLOWING & CLOUDING. THESE DEFECTS IN THE HEADLAMP UNIT CONSTRUCTION PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD ISSUE AT NIGHT AS IT REDUCES THE EFFECTIVENESS AND ABILITY TO PROJECT LIGHT BEAM AT LEVELS NECESSARY FOR CLEAR VISUAL FIELD. THIS VEHICLE HAS INCURRED COMPLETE HEADLAMP UNIT ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENTS TO BOTH DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDES TWICE SINCE VEHICLE PLACED INTO NEW SERVICE IN 2009. IT APPEARS THE CHEAP PLASTIC LENS COVERS USED IN MANUFACTURING IS THE CULPRIT. USE OF GLASS FOR LENS WOULD ELEMINATE THESE PROBLEMS AS GLASS DOES NOT DETERIORATE WITH SUN OR MOISTURE.

THE SEAT FOAM IS POOR QUALITY - THE SEAT FRAME CUT THROUGH THE FOAM AND I CAN NOW FEEL IT ON MY BACK AND BOTTOM SEAT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY NISSAN REPLACED THE BACK SEAT FOAM TWO OR THREE TIMES DUE TO THE FRAME PUSHING THROUGH THE FOAM. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND UNLESS I WANT TO SPEND A $1,000+ TO REPLACE THE SEAT I AM STUCK WITH THE PLEASURE OF FEELING THE METAL FRAME PUSHING INTO ME IN WHILE DRIVING VICE THE COMFORT OF THE CUSHIONS THAT SHOULD BE BETWEEN THE SEAT FRAME AND ME. I DOUBT IT IS SAFE TO HAVE SUCH LITTLE CUSHION BETWEEN ME AND THE SEAT FRAME IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

NOTICED A SMALL FLUID LEAK UNDER MY CAR, IT LOOKED LIKE RADIATOR FLUID. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO CHECK IT OUT. WHEN THE NISSAN TECHNICIANS INVESTIGATED THE LEAK THEY INFORMED ME THE LEAK WAS FROM THE SEAMS OF THE RADIATOR AND THE RADIATOR REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS COMMON AND ROUTINE WEAR AND TEAR FOR NISSAN. THE 2009 TITAN HAS JUST OVER 41,000 MILES AND IS ONLY DRIVEN ON PAVED ROADS. IT HAS NO OFF-ROAD MILEAGE. I DO NOT BELIEVE A PROPERLY DESIGNED RADIATOR SHOULD LEAK FROM THE SEAMS AFTER 6 YEARS AND LOW MILEAGE.

STARTED AS A METAL DRAGGING NOISE UNDER THE VEHICLE.. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR IN TO MY GARAGE FOR REPAIR.. THEY FOUND THE THE PASSENGER EMERGENCY BRAKE DRUM HAD DECINTAGRATED AND WELDED ITSELF TO REAR BRAKES.. ALSO DRIVERS SIDE WAS ALSO DAMAGED.. GARAGE REPLACED THE TOTAL REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLY DO TO THE DAMAGE FOR FEAR THAT I WAS AT A HIGH RISK FOR A CRASH..

I BOUGHT MY NISSAN VERSA 2009 IN HENDERSON NISSAN IN NEVADA. 9 MONTHS AFTER (11/23/2009) THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHTS WENT ON . I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY FIX. NOW LAST FEB.09,2015 THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP WERE I BOUGHT MY CAR TO CHECK FOR THAT PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR NEED A NEW AIRBAG AND SPIRAL CABLE THAT WILL COST ME $1241. I ASK THEM WHY, THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR IT. THEY SAY BECAUSE I DONT HAVE ANY MORE WARRANTY. I SAID THIS IS ONE OF THE SAFETY FEATURE OF THE CAR. BUT STILL THEY INSIST ON THE WARRANTY. I ASKED THE GUY IF IT IS NOT FIX WHAT WILL HAPPEND, HE SAID THE AIG BAG WILL NOT INFLATE IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT. SO I CALL THE NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICE TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE BUT THEY SAY THEY CANNOT HELP ME. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THAT KIND OF AMOUNT. MY CAR IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND THE MILEAGE IS ONLY 56,147. WHY AM I HAVING THIS PROBLEM TO SOON. *JS
