2006 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

VEHICLE DOES NOT COME WITH ADJUSTABLE CAMBER BOLTS INSTALLED FROM MANUFACTURER. MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO REPLACE NOW THAT VEHICLE IS OUT OF 12MTH/12,000 MILE WARRANTY. *TR

NOISE IN CONDENSER FAN MOTOR. THIS IS 3RD TIME SINCE PURCHASE OF TITAN IN APRIL 2006 THAT I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK TO DEALER. 1ST TIME, REPLACE A/C CONDENSER, 2ND TIME IN 2007 REPLACE COMPRESSOR, 2ND CONDENSER AND KEPT VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS. THIS SUMMER THE CONDENSER MOTOR. THEY SAID HAD RECALL ON IT AND PATCHED A SECTION OF THE MOTOR WITH A/C TAPE AND WRAPPED THE WIRING WITH TAPE AND PUT A WEDGE BETWEEN MOTOR AND BRACKET. MY WIFE WAITED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND 4 HOURS LATER WENT HOME. I WORK OUT OF TOWN AND I CHECKED THE INTERNET FOR RECALLS AND FOUND MORE THAN JUST THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK BUT, HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD BY NISSAN OR THE DEALER OF THESE OTHER RECALLS. THE LAST TIME MY TRUCK WAS KEPT FOR 3 WEEKS I REPORTED TO NISSAN THE PROBLEMS AND WAS CUT OFF WHEN I WAS GIVING MY COMPLAINT TO CUSTOMER SERVICE {?}. NEVER HEARD FROM THEM OR THE LOCAL DEALER SPARKS NISSAN.OH YES, I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED IN MARCH 2008 AS IT DIED AND WOULD NOT HOLD A CHARGE AND IT WAS ON A WEEKEND AND HAD TO BE REPAIRED BEFORE I LEFT TOWN AND NO WAY FOR MY WIFE TO GO. THE DEALER OWNER HERE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT HIS CUSTOMERS AFTER THE SELL AND EACH TIME SOMEONE ASK ME HOW I LIKE MY TRUCK; I TELL THEM HOW WE HAVE BEEN TREATED AND WHAT PROBLEMS WE HAVE HAD. I SUGGEST STRONGLY THAT THE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMIN. CONTACT THESE MANUFACTURES AND ENFORCE THE RECALLS. SOME OF THESE CAN BE FATAL IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS ALL UNACCEPTABLE FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT IS SPENT ON THE PURCHASE OF A VEHICLE. *TR

REAR AXEL SEALS WENT OUT ON BOTH WHEELS AT THE SAME TIME WITH 37,000 MILES. NISSAN ONLY FIXED BECAUSE OF EXTENDED WARRANTY PURCHASE. NO RENTAL CAR WAS GIVEN ALTHOUGH THE DEFECT WAS THEIRS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. FIVE MINUTES AFTER THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED SMOKE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. HE SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE COOLANT WIRES, FUSE BOX WIRES, HARNESS WIRES, AND COOLANT UNIT/COMBO SWITCH WERE MELTED AND FUSED TOGETHER. THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE COOLING FAN AND THE WIRING HARNESS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 64,000. UPDATED 062909 *BF THE DEALER STATED THE AC CONDENSER FAN MOTOR HOUSING RUSTED CAUSING THE MOTOR TO SEIZE AND OVERHEAT, LEADING TO THE WIRES BURNING OUT AND SHORTENING. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FOR THE PROBLEM HE HAD ALREADY EXPERIENCED. NISSAN INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE CONDENSER FAN PORTION OF THE REPAIR. UPDATED 07/02/09.*JB

NOTICED WHEN BRAKING TRUCK STARTED VIBRATING, THOUGHT IT WAS ROTORS GOING BAD UNTIL I LOOKED UNDER MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS WERE WET AND LEAKING. HEARD THROUGH WORD OF MOUTH OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS NOW I HAVE MINE. *TR

REAR AXEL SEAL LEAK ON 2006 NISSAN TITAN. CAUGHT PROBLEM BEFORE BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

HAD LEAK IN RIGHT REAR SEAL, WITH 28,000 MILES ON 2006 NISSAN TITAN; REPLACED AT DEALER. LEAKING REAR SEALS IS COMMON WITH THE TITANS, COULD BE RELATED TO POOR AXLE VENT. *TR

1. I OWN A 2006 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB SE. AFTER NORMAL DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS AND 2 MONTHS THE VEHICLE REQUIRES AN ALIGNMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE CAMBER. THERE WAS NO CAMBER KIT INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE FROM THE FACTORY. EVERY MANUFACTURER KNOWS THAT PART OF PROPER MAINTENANCE IS REALIGNING THE VEHICLE. 2. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO FIND OUT IF OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS BLOGS OF 2006 NISSAN TITANS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR I HAVE FOUND THAT NISSAN FAILED TO PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO ALIGN THE VEHICLE. 3. NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. WHEN NISSAN IS CONTACTED THEY INFORM ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY SINCE I HAVE EXCEEDED THE 36,000 MILES. I AM TOLD THAT I HAVE TO PURCHASE A CAMBER KIT FROM NISSAN IN ORDER TO ALIGN THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKES WERE UNDERRATED (TOO SMALL) TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE STOPPING ABILITY FOR A VEHICLE OF THAT SIZE. AS A RESULT, THE BRAKES DUG INTO THE ROTORS AND CAUSED MASSIVE DAMAGE TO THE POINT THAT THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE BRAKES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE BRAKE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 12,850.

THE VEHICLES FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AT 34,250 MILES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON MANY ONLINE FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY RESOLVE WITH JUST BEING FIXED. I WAS VERY UPSET TO FIND OUT THAT WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY 2 CHILDREN WHILE HELPING HER MOTHER MOVE, THAT THE AXLE ON THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN SEPARATING. MY TRUCK IS NOT UTILIZED FOR HAULING LARGE LOADS OR TOWING OF ANY KIND. *TR
