2004 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

WHEN RE-FUELING 2004 NISSAN TITAN, THE FUEL SPEWS BACK OUT THE FILLER NOZZLE ONTO OPERATORS BODY. DEALER HAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED CHARCOAL CANISTER AND FUEL TANK ON 10/ 2005, 12/2005, 1/2007, BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN - REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING. IN SHOP- WAITING FOR REPAIRS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMAON FAILURE FOR THIS TRUCK AND THAT REPAIRS MOST LIKELY WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM AS IT APPEARS THAT IT WILL PROBABLY OCCUR AGAIN. NEED RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AS BRAKES MAY FAIL. DO WE NEED WHAT HAPPENED TO TOYOTA TO HAPPEN TO NISSAN TO GET RESULTS ? ? ?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER HE FILLED THE GAS TANK, HE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT SURPASS THE 3/4 FULL MARK. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS BEFORE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 61,000.

FRONT AND REAR DRIVE TRAIN NOT PROPERLY VENTED LEADING TO AXLE SEAL LEAKS ONTO BRAKES

1. THERE WERE NO SPECIFIC EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. 2. THE C-CLIP THAT HELD MY DRIVER'S SIDE AXLE IN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL OF MY 2004 4X4 NISSAN TITAN BROKE, CAUSING THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL TO FAIL. I NOTICED A LARGE PUDDLE UNDER THE TRUCK ONE EVENING AND UPON INSPECTION, FOUND THAT THE AXLE HAD SHIFTED 1/2 TO 3/4 OF AN INCH OUTSIDE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING. THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM THE RUINED SIDE SEAL CAUSED BY THE C CLIP BREAKING. 3. I FILLED THE DIFFERENTIAL UP WITH NEW OIL TO AVOID BURNING UP THE RING AND PINION (DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS ALREADY BAD AT THE TIME) SO THAT I COULD GET THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED, I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WOULD BE $1987. I CHECKED AROUND AND NO OTHER AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP COULD FIX THIS B/C THEY COULD NOT GET THE PARTS. APPARENTLY THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FOR MY TRUCK IS "CAPTIVATED" WHICH MEANS ONLY THE DEALERSHIPS CAN GET THEM. TO MY UNDERSTANDING, IT SEEMS KIND OF LIKE A MONOPOLY ON THE PARTS.

WAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, TRUCK BASICALLY STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD UNTIL I HEARD A POPING THEN WAS ABLE TO TURN BUT 4 WHEEL DRIVE FAILED. NOW THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH MY POWER TRAIN AND FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. WENT TO A GARAGE THEY SAY MISSING A CLAMP, BUT DEALERSHIP SAYS NO CLAMP AND NOTHING WRONG THAT IT WORKS FINE. IT MOST CERTAINLY DOES NOT WORK FINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. HE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES WERE NOT OPEARTING PROPERLY. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND HE WAS INFORMED THAT HE NEEDED NEW ROTORS. HE STATED THAT THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED ON JUNE 28, 2005. HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER HOWEVER THEY DID NOT OFFER HIM ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

2004 NISSAN 4X4 TITAN REAR DIFFERENTIAL. VEHICLE HAD 60,550 MILES ON IT AND WAS 500 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. NISSAN CHARGED ME $4000 TO FIX IT. *TR

UPON START UP PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ON DASH ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ON, HOWEVER THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT SET. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION THE BRAKES BECAME INEFFECTIVE. THE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND THERE WAS A PULSING SENSATION. IF I HAD NOT BEEN GOING LESS THAN 5MPH I AM UNSURE IF I COULD HAVE STOPPED, I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP AND PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED ALL LIGHTS AND PROBLEMS DISAPPEARED AND BRAKES FUNCTIONED OK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY LOCATED A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND/OR MASTER CYLINDER. *TR

AXEL SEAL LEAK ON A LONG 2,500 VACATION DRIVE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT IF ALL THE GEAR OIL WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST. LUCK IT WAS DISCOVERED SOON ENOUGH THAT I COULD FILL THE DIFF BACK UP. SEALS HAVE BEEN REPLACED PREVIOUSLY AS WELL AS THE WHOLE AXEL ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION. THESE AXEL AND AXEL SEAL PROBLEMS MAY CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT ONE DAY. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 54,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
