2004 Nissan Titan Engine Problems

“My husband could have been killed. We had no knowledge of any recalls. Two days ago my husband was getting in the truck and all of a sudden smoke started coming from the dash board and a fire was starting. He immediately ran in the truck stop store and was able to get a fire extinguisher. Another customer unhooked the battery as my husband distinguished the fire. The truck will not start and when trying to test it out by re-attaching the battery the smoke began again. We are now without a vehicle and had to get the truck towed home.”

“This is a finance vehicle saw the 2004 Nissan Titan really like it for the work that I do and my husband agreed to partially financed it. The first driving off the car lot the service engine light came on when we got home I called back the dealer to let him what had happened, he said to bring it back the following thursday to see what was going on, during the same week the two front windows fell down into the slot couldn't come back up so we had drive in the dead of winter with the windows done. …”

“Don't know if it's been reported, but alot of people are having issues with the Nissan titans (many years) with the exhaust manifolds cracking. I have a 2004 and both of them have been cracked for almost 4 years now. I contacted Nissan, they suggested to contact Nissan corporate, and pretty much told me I was out of luck. The manifolds are over $850 each, and both of mine are severely cracked, causing engine, emission, and safety/health problems. …”

“Two cracked exhaust manifolds. At times I an getting exhaust fumes into drivers compartment. I understand this is a wide problem with Nissan 5.6 l v-8s and a big problem with the titans. My local Nissan dealer est. Repair at $3,507.50 and he told me the it is not uncommon for both to fail at the same time. Nissan customer support will not do anything. I started have problem at 100.000 mile I am at 124.000 now. From what I have been told this is a design defect. I think this should be made into a recall. My truck looks like new from the outside.”

“I had the dealer inspect the vehicle. They said both exhaust manifolds had cracked. They said there was a previous notice from Nissan and they should be replaced. I was not notified and the dealer did not contact me. Now they said too much time had elapsed to take advantage of this free replacement. This is clearly a design defect since Nissan had them replaced on some vehicles. This is a safety hazard because cracked manifolds can cause a carbon monoxide leak or set a fire while driving fast. The cost to repair is near $1000 for the parts plus labor to install. …”
