“Exhaust manifold leaking for the second time. Bank 1 side was bad before the 80 emissions warranty was up, however dealership wouldn't do it, so we purchased another oem manifold/cat and had another shop replace it. Now 2 years later that side has failed and is leaking again. The catalytic converter has failed on that side also. Nissan has not offered a recall. 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 it should be noted I'm out of the 80 k emissions warranty. …”

“2005 Nissan Titan king cab 2x4 leaking oil from both side of the axle. Problem axle seek failure. Upon taking the truck into the dealership for checkup and they quoted me for about $1700.00 in repairs. As per there TSB they will replace both axle seals and axle TSB ntb10-032 if the seals fail on most of the Titan's shouldn't Nissan do a recall on this plus when I was there the service man stated that there TSB says to replace both axle which drives up the cost instead of just replacing the axle seal.”
