2006 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

STEERING GEAR SHIFTER IS STUCK ON "D" DRIVE AND DOES NOT SHIFT TO LOWER GEARS. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AT THE END OF 2006 BRAND NEW. ABOUT TWO YEARS LATER, THE SHIFTER DID NOT WORK ANYMORE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SHIFTER PART WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. THANKS....UPDATED 01/04/2016 *BF

ON 05/22/2015, TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT OR NEAR POSTED SPEED IN MILD SUNNY WEATHER. THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF IN LANE OF TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO HESITATION, NOISE, ALARM, WARNING LIGHTS JUST SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. PULLED VEHICLE OVER TO RH SHOULDER AND TRIED TO RESTART IT WITH OUT SUCCESS.ON 05/18/2015, I HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED AND INSPECTED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS ROAD TRIP. THE TRUCK PASSED DEALER INSPECTION. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER SERVICE CENTER AND AFTER SEVERAL DAYS THE DEALER TOLD ME THE ECM HAD FAILED AND SHORTED OUT THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE REPAIR BILL WAS A LITTLE OVER $1400. I AM NOT OBJECTING TO THE COST OF REPAIR....I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRUCK JUST STOPPING ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING. IF THIS BREAKDOWN WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OR DRIVING LANES OF A NEARBY FREEWAY, OR ON A STEEP INCLINE WITH TURNS THE RESULTS MAY HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE SHORT AND FAILURE OF THE ECM WERE A RESULT OF A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM (SAME ONE THAT PASSED INSPECTION) AND HEAT SHORTED THE WIRING HARNESS. I FEEL THE WIRING HARNESS MAY BE TOO CLOSE TO THE HEAT OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND COULD HAVE BEEN ISOLATED AS NOT TO CAUSE FAILURE. UPDATED 8/31/15*CN UPDATED 10/23/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN WITHOUT WARNING.

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACK AND CAUSE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. ONLY FIX IS TO RE PLACE MANIFOLDS. MANIFOLDS ARE MANUFACTURE DEFECTIVE. COST TO REPLACE IS OVER $2000.00 NISSAN STATED NO RECALL.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 80 MPH I FELT AN ODD SHAKE ON MY TITAN. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WAS SMOKING. I NOTICED GEAR OIL LEAKING OUT ALL OVER THE BRAKES AND TIRE. I ENDED UP NEEDING TO REPLACE THE AXLE, SEAL,BEARING,BACKING PLATE AND ABS SENSOR. $1300.00 AND 3 DAYS LATER IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP. LEAKING GEAR OIL FROM THE SAME PLACE. WAITING TO HEAR FROM MECHANIC WHAT I NEED TO DO NEXT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A SIDE WALL. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT HAD SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE ARMS AND NECK WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION SUGGESTS THE LOWER CONTROL LINK ASSEMBLY MAY HAVE SEPARATED CASING THE CONSUMER TO LOSE STEERING ABILITY. RECALL 10E019000 WAS REFERENCED IN THE COMPLAINT. UPDATED 04/20/15*JB
