2004 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

CALLED NISSAN ABOUT MY RECALL TO TELL THEM WE HAVEN DEALER IN OUR AREA. THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO TRAVEL OVER 70 MILES ONE WAY AND COULD WE HAVE A LOCAL SERVICE TAKE CARE OF RECALL AND THEY WOULD BE REIMBURSE. THEY SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WITH IS RECALL (ECM) MY VEHICLE COULD STOP AT ANY TIME, WHY WOULD I WANT TO TRAVEL OVER 70 MILES. HOW CAN I GET NISSAN TO PAY MY LOCAL SERV PERSON WHO IS ONLY 4 MILES. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEALS FAILED. NISSAN SERVICE ADVISED ME BOTH AXLES NEEDED REPLACED ALONG WITH NEW SEALS. OVER $1660. THEY HAVE A SERVICE NOTICE THAT AXLES IN TITAN PICK-UPS NEED UPGRADED. SOUNDS LIKE THEY KNOW THE AXLE SET UP LEADS TO SEALS THAT LEAK CAUSING DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. *TR

REAR DRUM BRAKE LINER DETACHED FROM BACKING PLATE WHILE DRIVING. A LOUD BANGING NOISE WAS MADE. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY DRIVEN TO A NISSAN DEALER. A LOANER CAR WAS OFFERED TO ME. A TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE FOLLOWING; THE BRAKE LINER CAUSED NONREPAIRABLE DAMAGE TO ABS SENSOR, DRIVE SHAFT, DUST SHIELD, AND BRAKE PADS. THE TRUCK HAD 65,757 MILES ON THE TRUCK.PARTS TOOK 6 DAYS TO ORDER. THE BILL WAS $2,300. NISSAN HONORED WARRANTY ON THE DRIVE SHAFT. TOTAL BILL WAS $1,232,48. THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY THE BRAKE LINER DETACHING FROM THE BACKING PLATE, THE LOOSE BRAKE PAD CAUSED THE DESTRUCTION. OTHER WORK PERFORMED WAS REPAIR OF THE EVAP SYSTEM. *TR

MY REAR AXEL DIFFERENTIAL ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN SE LEAKED GEAR OIL FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 3 YEARS. MY TRUCK HAD 59,900 MILES WHEN IT OCCURRED FOR THE SECOND TIME. I CALLED NISSAN MOTOR COMPANY. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR. I HAD TO REPAIR THE TRUCK AT MY EXPENSE DUE TO NISSANS BAD DESIGNED OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AXEL (SEALS). *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN 55,000 MILES..REAR SEAL LEAKING FLUID, DEALER SAID IT WAS A POORLY MADE AXLE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AS I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. COST $822...LOST TRACTION ON THE FRONT WHEELS YESTERDAY MORNING DURING SNOW STORM. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING. MECHANIC SAID WE WERE LUCKY THE WHEEL DIDN'T COME OFF ON THE DRIVE THERE. LOTS OF TITAN OWNERS SAYING DEFECT ON FRONT AXLE ALSO...TRUCK IS STILL IN THE SHOP AND THEY WANT $1,100 TO REPLACE THIS AXLE AND GROUND UP PINION OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. WE HAVE ALSO HAD THIS TRUCK IN THE SHOP TO FIX 3 OTHER SAFETY RECALLS. WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US. DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN IS NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

AT AROUND 106,00 MILES THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO DESTROY ABS SENSOR AND PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY. 2,000 MILES LATER PASSENGER SIDE REAR SEAL BLEW OUT AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL TOTALLY LOCKED UP. THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN DEFECT THAT NISSAN SIMPLY WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE. THIS REPAIR ENDED UP COSTING AROUND $4,100 TO REPAIR AT MY EXPENSE, ON TOP OF THE $900 PAID PREVIOUSLY TO REPAIR ORIGINAL SEAL FAILURE. *LN

DRIVING WHEN I HEARD NOISES FROM BACK OF TRUCK 2004 NISSAN TITAN STOPPED AND CHECKED , CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND FOUND OUT I HAD BLEW REAR AXLE SEAL AND THE PIN FROM THE REAR END AND NOW I NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR END CALLED NISSAN THEY SAID 2006 WAS CORRECTED AND TO LOOK FOR ALUMINUM COVER ONES BECAUSE THE STEEL COVER ONES WERE THE OLD VERSION.
