2010 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

WHEEL SEAL LEAKING ONTO REAR DRIVER SIDE BREAKS. SEEMS TO BE A ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE FROM POSTINGS I HAVE READ. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A RECALL TO REPLACE SINCE IT INVOLVES .THE BRAKES GETTING GEAR OIL ON THEM AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

ACCIDENT INVOLVING RIGHT FRONT IMPACT AFTER HITTING A DITCH. DISABLING IMPACT. VEHICLE TOWED. SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DURING A ROAD TRIP FROM FL TO NY, I NOTICED A FAINT RATTLE UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK BUT DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. DURING THAT TRIP, I NOTICED MY TAILPIPE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE IT WAS POSITIONED PROPERLY. IT WAS LOOSE! THE MUFFLER TO TAILPIPE MOUNTING FLANGE HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY FROM, WHICH IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM (REFERENCE BLOGS; TITANSPOT, TITANTALK, CLUBTITAN). I THREW THE TAILPIPE IN THE BED AND KEPT DRIVING. THROUGHOUT THAT WEEKEND, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. ON OUR RETURN TRIP FROM NY TO FL THE VDC OFF, SLIP AND ABS LIGHTS SUDDENLY CAME ON WITH ABOUT 100 MILES LEFT IN THE TRIP. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACTIVATE CRUISE CONTROL AND 4WD WOULDN'T ENGAGE EITHER. BROUGHT TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN CORAL SPRINGS, FL FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE WARRANTY SERVICE, CONSIDERING I HAD THE GOLD PREFERRED NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS INFORMED THAT EXHAUST COMPONENTS WERE NOT COVERED, AND SINCE THE 'NON' COVERED COMPONENTS CAUSED ELECTRICAL & SENSOR FAILURES, THEY WOULDN'T WARRANTY ANY OF THOSE COMPONENTS EITHER. THE HEAT DAMAGED THE PLASTIC CONDUIT, WIRES IN THE HARNESS AND THE ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSORS (AND ASSOCIATED WIRING). NOT TO MENTION, DANGEROUS EXHAUST GASES CAN ACCUMULATE UNDER THE CAB & BED OF THE TRUCK WITHOUT A PROPER MEANS OF EXHAUST ROUTING. THIS IS THE THIRD TITAN I HAVE OWNED. ALL 3 (2005, 2006, & 2010) HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME FAILURE AT THAT EXHAUST FLANGE. THIS VEHICLE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT EXPERIENCED CORRESPONDING ELECTRICAL & SENSOR FAILURES. NISSAN MUST ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS FLANGE CONNECTION DESIGN AND MATERIALS. IT IS A POOR DESIGN (WHEN IT FAILS, EXHAUST GASES ARE POINTED UPWARD AT THE TRUCK BED AND SENSITIVE ELECTRICAL WIRING). FOR NISSAN TO IGNORE THIS DEFECT IS UNACCEPTABLE. A STRAIGHT CONNECTION, OR BETTER FLANGE MATERIALS WOULD GO A LONG WAY IN RECTIFYING THIS RECURRING PROBLEM. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE OBVIOUSLY A FLAWED DESIGN THAT CAUSES UNDUE MAINTENANCE AND POLLUTION. I HAVE HAD THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS LATER. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS POOR AND UNSAFE DESIGN AND BE LIABLE FOR REPLACEMENT AFTER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY LAPSES. OR THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE MANIFOLDS WITH A DESIGN THAT DOESN'T CAUSES CRACKING. *TR

THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING TITAN ICS SINCE 2004 AND THERE HAVE BEEN RE CALLS DUE TO THE TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL CIRCUIT FAILING DUE TO BAD BODY CONTROL MODULES. I BELIEVE ALL TITAN ICS NEED TO BE RE CALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. MY TITAN IC WILL NOT WORK WITH 2 DIFFERENT BRAKE CONTROLLERS BY 2 DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS. BEST TO NOT ATTEMPT TO TOW ANYTHING THAT REQUIRES A BRAKE CONTROL DUE TO THIS ON GOING PROBLEM FOR ANY YEAR TITAN IC. 2 BAD FOR ME IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY BY A FEW MONTHS AND THE RE SALE VALUE IS VERY LOW FOR ALL NISSAN DUE TO POOR QUALITY. *TR

WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO MY STREET I HEARD A LOUD POPPING SOUND FROM THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE OF MY TRUCK. WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK THE FOLLOWING WEEK, THE POPPING SOUND WHILE TURNING AND THEN SQUEAKING STARTED TO GET LOUD ENOUGH AS TO WHERE PEOPLE AROUND THE TRUCK COULD HEAR IT. I THEN TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO FIND THAT THE STRUT TOWER BRACKET HAD SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME OF THE PICKUP. I SAW THE DAMAGE MYSELF AND IT APPEARED THAT THE STRUT BRACKET WAS ONLY TACK WELDED IN PLACE. MY INSURANCE COMPANY CLAIM WAS DENIED AS THERE IS NO COLLISION OR COMPREHENSIVE DAMAGE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS CLAIMED IT TO BE METAL FATIGUE DUE TO FAULTY FRAME MANUFACTURING. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS IS WORKING THE ISSUE ON ONE END EVEN THOUGH I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE DISTRICT REP SAID THEY WON'T WORK IT BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT HAS BEEN 3 WEEKS NOW AND I AM PAYING FOR A RENTAL OUT OF MY POCKET. IT SEEMS I AM ONLY GETTING THE RUN AROUND. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS TRUCK. :-( I NEED HELP WITH MY $45,000 PAPERWEIGHT ISSUE. *TR

HAD MY VEHICLE INSPECTED AND WAS TOLD THE REAR ROTORS ARE RUSTED AND FLAKING AWAY. *TR

ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE TREAD SEPARATION FROM THE WALL DOCUMENTED BY THREE SEPARATE MECHANICS AT LESS THAN 30K MILES; SLOW LEAK ON ONE TIRE, NO DEBRIS/DAMAGE TO TIRE CAUSED LEAK, MECHANICS STATED IT IS CAUSED BY THE SEPARATION OF THE TREAD TO THE WALL. NORMAL CITY/HIGHWAY DRIVING, NO OFF ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE'S REAR END AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CRASH CAUSED TWO INDIVIDUALS TO SUFFER INJURIES TO THE NECK, BACK, ARM AND CHEST. THE POLICE WERE NOTIFIED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS ON FILE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 22,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.
