“My horn stopped blowing and the next day the airbag warning light is flashing, after start up in driveway on 1/17/16 the emblem on the airbag it's imprinted srs I don't know if that's takata inflators”
NHTSA complaint #10820758, filed 2016-01, 283,000 miles“My vehicle impacted another vehicle from the rear and air bags did not deploy. The air bag light has been on. Several electrical problems; steering wheel buttons stopped working in 2008, ABS light remains on, backup sensor went out 11-17 and most recently I started my vehicle one morning and speakers started popping really loud and immediately smelled of burned wires and just two days later vehicle would not start, battery was completely drained. After charging worked fine for a couple of days but just repeated the same situation. …”
NHTSA complaint #11075121, filed 2018-02, 74,000 miles“Had a recall on the 2004-2006 air bags and took Titan in to university Nissan in florence, al. Was informed that the recall could not be completed on some of the 2004-2006 titans and they would contact Nissan to get a solution. After several months of waiting I contacted Nissan USA and then university Nissan tried again to reprogram the airbags but it still would not take. Now I have found out that Nissan has suspended the recall until such time that they can produce a program to fix this recall. I know, other owners are having same problem and now what can be done ? …”
NHTSA complaint #11051501, filed 2017-11, 284,000 miles“Air bag warning light started blinking. Diagnostic gave code of crash zone sensor communication error. Researched issue on line and see that there is a recall for snow belt states which maine is included but not the Titan. Contacted Nissan regarding issue and was told that they would not cover because we are outside of warrantee? Find it odd that some vehicles are being covered but not this one. Previously to the airbag light issue my husband was driving on the interstate doing approximately 70 MPH when the vehicle abruptly lost all power. Thankfully no vehicle behind him. …”
NHTSA complaint #10914005, filed 2016-10, 117,000 miles“While driving down a dirt road my side curtain airbags deployed causing me to swerve into a ditch. I contacted Nissan of north america and they suggested I take the truck to the local Nissan dealership and when I took it there and told them what happened and they told me they were probably not going to cover it since I purchased the truck used and they asked what other actions I was going to pursue and I said I was going to contact a lawyer and they were very adamant about me not contacting a lawyer which I considered to be a red flag. …”
