2004 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT 52,000 MILES THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE DIFFERENTIAL SEAL FAILED. ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2009 HE NOTICED A LEAK FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION HE CONCLUDED THAT THE LEFT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,500. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE. BL

HAVEN'T REPAIRED YET WILL NOT FILE UNDER EXTENDED COVERAGE, 2004 NISSAN TITAN CREWCAB 5.6 LITER, REAR END HOUSING AND AXLE SEALS LEAKING, NOTICED IT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, HAD TO ADD SOME FLUID TO REAR DIFFERENTIAL, ON MY OWN. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN CREWCAB SLE -2 WHEEL DRIVE. FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, COMING TO A STOP SIGN I PUT ON THE BRAKES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY BRAKES. HEARD LOUD NOISES LIKE THE ABS WAS KICKING IN AND OUT AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARDER TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL I GOT THE TRUCK HOME. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET WITH NISSAN TITAN WEB FORUMS I FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE WITH TITAN'S HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS. FROM WHAT I GATHER IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AT FAULT. ALSO I FOUND OUT THAT ONCE YOU TURN OFF THE IGNITION THE SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE BACK TO NORMAL. I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING AND RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. NISSAN WANTS $850 OR MORE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER (TRUCK OUT OF WARRANTY). NISSAN NEEDS TO COME CLEAN AND REALIZE THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TITAN'S BRAKE BOOSTER. *TR

I AM A OWNER OF A 2004 NISSAN TITAN WHO HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS IN THE PAST. HOWEVER, I ALMOST GOT INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT YESTERDAY, AS I HAD NO BRAKING ON MY REAR WHEELS. AFTER INSPECTING THE REAR BRAKES AND WHY THEY FAILED, I NOTICED THAT MY SEALS ON THE REAR AXEL IS LEAKING OIL ONTO MY BRAKES PADS. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN; REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING: 1. IN SHOP FOR TIRE ROTATION, MECHANIC SAW FLUID FROM REAR AXLE ON INSIDE OF MY WHEELS. 2. NOT SURE HOW LONGS ITS BEEN LEAKING. APPEARS TO BE AN ON GOING PROBLEM FOR OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS (MULTIPLE SEAL REPLACEMENTS). CONSEQUENCES ARE FLUID CAN LEAK ONTO BRAKES CAUSING A BRAKING FAILURE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH AND POSSIBLE DEATH. 3. NOTHING DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. CONTACTING MECHANIC TODAY. *NISSAN NEEDS A RECALL ON THIS* *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE ON NISSAN 04 TITAN COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE BY LEAKING ON PAD AND ROTOR. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE. FIRST NOTICE OIL LEAKING FROM BOTH AXLE SEALS WHEN CHANGING SHOCKS AT 41,000 MILES. BROUGHT TO DEALER WAS TOLD AXLE SEALS HAD FAILED AND WERE GOING TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, AT 44,400 MILES WENT TO GET INSPECTION STICKER AND THE PARKING BRAKE FAILED, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATING THIS WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SEALS HAD FAILED AGAIN AND SLUNG OIL ALL OVER THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM I WOULD THINK THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS TIME THEY FIXED THE SEALS BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE FAILING DUE TO THE FACT OF A PROBLEM WITH THE AXLE, NOW I AM OVER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY AND THERE TELLING ME IT MY NOT BE COVERED STILL WAITING TO HEAR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED TO BE FIXED AT NISSANS EXPENSE. ONE TIME THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND SOMEONE'S BRAKE ARE GOING TO FAIL FROM THE OIL AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH! SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE BEFORE ITS TO LATE. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN WILL NOT SHIFT DUE TO A FAULTY/ SHEARED WIRE IN THE COLUMN SHIFTER. WHILE TOWING IT CREATES A HAZARDOUS CONDITION DUE TO THE INABILITY TO SHFT GEARS. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN BRAKE FAILURE. POWER BOOSTER SENSOR IS GOING OUT AND CAUSES MUSHY AND VIOLANT BRAKE PEDAL -- UNABLE TO STOP SAFELY. SOMETIMES IT WORKS, SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. DEALER FLASHED THE BRAKE COMPUTER...IT DID NOT WORK. SAID THAT THE POWER BOASTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $900 PLUS...I THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. XTREME SAFETY ISSUE. THERE SEEMS TO BE A TSB OUT ON IT..BUT NO RECALL. NEED A RECALL...PEOPLE COULD BE KILLED. *TR

BRAKES GO INTO IN ABS MODE FOR NO REASON, TRUCK BECOMES HARD TO STOP; ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY- 80 DEGREES AND SUNNY. I WAS COMING HOME FROM THE NISSAN DEALER BECAUSE OF A BRAKE, SLIP, VDC LIGHT (ANYTIME) AND BRAKE LIGHT - ABS COMING ON (ONLY DURING BRAKING), BOTH ARE INTERMITTENT. THE FRIDAY BEFORE I HAD NISSAN LOOK AT THIS VERY CONDITION(S) THEY AGREED I HAD A PROBLEM, AND UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE. 2 DAYS LATER THE LIGHT STILL CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE TRUCK AND RESTARTING, THE LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON, SOMETHING THAT DID NOT USE TO HAPPEN. . . NISSAN HAS A BRAKE ISSUE, I'VE SEEN MANY OF COMPLAINTS THAT ARE THE SAME AS MINE- LOSS OF BRAKING BECAUSE THE ABS KICKS ON (BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS) AND WILL NOT CORRECT/STOP IT-SELF UNTIL THE ENGINE IS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. RESTARTING THE TRUCK WHEN THE ABS IS HAMPERING THE STOPPING ABILITY IS NOT VERY PRACTICAL, AND VERY DANGEROUS IN MOST DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME I CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT AND SWERVED TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. SINCE THE 2ND VISIT TO NISSAN I HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER WITH STABILITY CONTROL OPTION REPLACED, THAT WAS THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDATION AFTER THEY DOWNLOADED THE CODES(X2), THEY STATED THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED. COST FOR REPAIR WAS QUOTED AT $650.00. *TR
