THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER FULFILLED THE RECALL REPAIR UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V408000 (POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:COLUMN SHIFT ASSEMBLY ).

FAILURE OF CRACKED MANIFOLD EXHAUST WITH BUILT IN CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAVE CRACKED 3 MANIFOLD EXHAUST DUE TO THE FACT THAT NISSAN DID NOT INSTALL FLEX PIPES IN THEIR EXHAUST SYSTEM. IT IS HAPPENING ON ALL THE TITAN TRUCKS...LOOK AT THE FORUMS AND MY DEALER HAS CONFIRMED IT. EXHAUST IS LEAKING INTO THE CAB AREA. IT COST OVER $900 TO JUST REPAIR THE PART. THEY WILL NOT FIX IT! IT IS LEAKING STRAIGHT EXHAUST FUMES.

PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN IN APRIL 2010 WITH 82K ON THE ENGINE. IN MAY 2010, I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN FOR A RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD 82,528 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WERE LEAKING AND QUOTED MY $1800.00 FOR THE REPAIR. I NOW SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF EXHAUST FUMES COMING INTO THE CAB. THE FUMES CAUSE NAUSEA AND HEADACHES. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS TOPIC ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON DEFECT AMONG 2004 THRU 2007 NISSAN TITANS. THERE HAS YET TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I CONTINUALLY SEE PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ISSUE ON INTERNET FORUMS. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART. THE LEAK IS ALSO HAZARDOUS TO THE ENVIRONMENT. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE EPA AS WELL. *TR

I NOTICE OIL ON THE REAR TIRES AND RUNNING INTO THE REAR ROTOR WHICH COULD LEAD TO BREAKING FAILURE. MY MECHANIC SAID THE REAR AXLE SEALS AND PINION SEAL WERE BAD SO I HAD THEM REPLACE RIGHT AFTER I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE WITH ONLY 30,000 AND JUST NOW I GOT NEW TIRES AND THAT'S WHEN I FIND OUT IT'S BEEN LEAKING ALL THIS TIME NOW WITH 104,000 MILES. LOOK ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 04 NISSAN TITAN. NO RECALL... *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING AT 60,000 MILES CAUSING OIL TO GET ON BRAKES. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK HAS STALLED FOLLOWED BY A LOUD THUD FROM THE TRANSMISSION - ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON, AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTS, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AND ONLY ONE GEAR IS AVAILABLE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. ALSO HAVE HAD SOME PROBLEMS STARTING THE VEHICLE SINCE THE FIRST 2 OCCURRENCES ON THE HIGHWAY. REPLACING THE IPDM AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN SE 4X4 HAS A KNOWN REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM WHICH LEADS TO FAILURE. REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS LEAKING ONTO BRAKES/ROTOR. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER TOWED ANYTHING AND ONLY HAS 58,000 MILES. NISSAN DEALER SAYS PAST WARRANTY BUT ADMIT KNOWN PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT NISSAN DIRECTLY. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID HAS METAL IN IT. UNSAFE CONDITIONS ON ALL EARLY MODELS OF THIS TRUCK AND NISSAN IS AVOIDING THE ISSUE THEY NEED TO HAVE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL SEALS LEAKING REPEATEDLY. DEALERSHIP HAD REPLACED ENTIRE REAR AXLE AT 25,000 MILES. 116,000 MILES SEALS LEAKING AGAIN. COST TO REPAIR ESTIMATED AT $900.00 TO $3000.00. UNABLE TO JUST REPLACE LEAKING SEAL, MUST REPLACE ENTIRE PORTION OF AXLE ASSEMBLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED BY THE DEALER WHEN THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING. FIVE YEARS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE ENTIRE REAR ASSEMBLY REPLACED DUE TO THE SAME FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

PULLING OUT OF MY APARTMENT'S PARKING LOT WHEN STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN BY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AS IF IT HAD NO PRESSURE. AS THE PEDAL HIT THE FLOOR A LOUD GRINDING SOUND CAME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF, STARTED IT BACK UP AND EVERYTHING WORKED OK. WENT DOWN THE STREET A LITTLE MORE AND BAM HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME IN TRAFFIC. IF AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER HAS THIS ISSUE THIS CAN AND WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OR PEOPLE. *TR
