Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Exhaust manifold leaking for the second time. Both sides were replaced under warranty and then 1 year and 8 days later I was told they were leaking again. Nissan refuses to cover under warranty. Exhaust manifold leaking allows exhaust fumes to not be vented correctly and the fumes can come into the cabin of the vehicle. I have spoken with the dealership and also filed a request with the main Nissan corporation.”
NHTSA complaint #10366774, filed 2010-11, 78,000 miles“My Titan, as I'm driving hesitates, or momentarily cuts response, and my engine stalls and turns off, I have since then found out that my ipdm was the responsible component for such stalls.....it happens twice a day at ungiven times, I replaced the ipdm and have had no problems.”
NHTSA complaint #10318136, filed 2010-03, 52,000 miles“Design flaw on Nissan Titan due to exhaust leak which will then burn the electrical wiring and the truck will stop all of sudden with lost of power and brakes, which may cause accidents. We were on our way back from camping trip with travel trailer in tow. On interstate 81 near wilkes barre, pa...we were going 65 MPH and all of a sudden the vehicle engine stopped, we had a lost of power and brakes and had to cripple towards the shoulder and couldn't start the engine again. …”
NHTSA complaint #10346730, filed 2010-08, 29,000 miles“My 2005 Nissan Titan has two cracked exhaust manifolds. They are cracked into two pieces and are allowing carbon monixide to escape from the exhaust system adjacent to the cab of the truck. This is a potentially lethal failure due to co poisioning. Nissan has been contacted and will not assist with repairs, even though there have been hundreds of similar reported cases. My vehicle is out of the warranty period and I understand Nissan's reluctance, financially, to repair the failure. …”
NHTSA complaint #10322779, filed 2010-03, 75,000 miles“I looked outside and had a puddle of oil under the front of my truck. Got the truck to a mechanic and he informed me that the front axle popped out of place. This truck is stock, no lifts and never goes off road. So this happened under normal driving conditions. A front axle should not just pop out of place. I just got it back from replacing the rear axle and seals as both were leaking. Also the rear shackles on the vehicle rotted out. This vehicle has way too many problems for Nissan not to be recalling and fixing these issues.”
