TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE CONTACT REALIZED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BECAME VERY LOUD WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED.

THE TITAN WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON CITY STREET AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS INTERSECTION. IMPACT WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND BOTH VEHICLES SUSTAINED HEAVY DAMAGE. DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT THERE WAS WHITE SMOKE AND SMELL OF GUN POWDER INSIDE THE TRUCK JUST AFTER COLLISION. NO VISUAL SIGNS OF ANY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. NO OTHER VERIFICATION, BUT SEEMS POSSIBLE A CHARGE IGNITED BUT FAILED TO INFLATE A BAG OR OTHER FAILURE. STRAIGHT FRONT IMPACT AT 45 SEEMS LIKE PRIME PARAMETERS TO INFLATE BAG. POLICE REPORT: 2/21/18 PLANO TEXAS REPORT# 2018-32397 PICTURES INCLUDED TO SHOW DAMAGE FROM IMPACT. *TT UPDATED 10/1/18*JB

THE BACK TWO DOOR LATCHES DO NOT OPEN UNTILLED JIGGLED OR CONTINUALLY VIBRATED. THIS WOULD NOT ALLOW THE DOORS TO BE OPENED IN THE EVENT OF A EMERGENCY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO BE REPAIRED BUT TO NO AVAIL. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHILE TRYING TO OPEN DOORS. ITS THIS A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THE OCCUPANTS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE DURING A CRITICAL TIME?

MY TRUCK'S FRONT SUSPENSION MAKES NOISE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT GOES OVER SPEED BUMPS. IT'S BEEN MAKING NOISE FOR MAYBE SINCE 2010 YEARS AND WE HAVE GOT IT CHECKED BUT THE SERVICE GUYS SAYS IT'S FINE. THE TIRES, ROTATIONS, SERVICE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL KEPT.

DRIVING 55MPH AND TRANSMISSION SLIPS ALL OF A SUDDEN. NO WARNING LIGHTS - NOTHING. NEXT SMOKE ROLLS OUT UNDER HOOD - PULL OFF ROAD/STOP. LOOK UNDER VEHICLE AND IT'S COVERED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. TOWED TO DEALER FOR REPAIR - SAID TRANSMISSION IS SHOT. $5000 TO REPLACE. VEHICLE HAS 85,000 MILES. HAD TRANSMISSION SERVICES LAST YEAR BY NISSAN DEALER. HEARING PROBLEM MAY BE BECAUSE OF RADIATOR. DEALER AND NISSAN HEADQUARTERS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE WHATSOEVER.

PUCHASE FROM PRIVATE PARTY IN FEBRUARY, NISSAN RAN DIAGNOSTICS IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE. LEAK WAS NOT RECORDED. ACCIDENT HAPPENED IN JUNE, VEHICLE RETURNED IN SEPTEMBER, APPROXIMATELY A WEEK AFTER PICK UP, CODED LEAK IN EMULATION SYSTEM, MANIFOLD/EXHAUST CAUSING FUMES TO BACK UP INTO TRUCK WHILE STOPPED, EXTREME FUEL CONSUMPTION AND LACK OF POWER, CAUSING IDLE TO IDLE LOW AT STOP. THIS DEVELOPED AFTER A SIDESWIPED HIT ACCIDENT AND TRANSMISSION BEING REPLACED. LEFT AND RIGHT SENSOR ALSO CODED.

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON MY NISSAN TITAN CRACKED PRIOR TO REACHING 95K MILES. WITH THE CRACK, EXHAUST FUMES ARE MAKING THEIR WAY INTO THE AC SYSTEM CAUSING THE CAB OF MY TRUCK TO BECOME FILLED WITH CARBON DIOXIDE. I HAVE DONE ADAMANT RESEARCH AND DETERMINED THAT I CAN REPLACE THE MANIFOLD AT A LOCAL SHOP, BUT THAT ALMOST EVERY TITAN OWNER OUT THERE HAS EXPERIENCED CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS.
