Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While driving down the road the rear tire flew off (passenger). Had we been even a 1/4 of a mile further we would have been on major highway and this could have killed us and any on coming traffic. When we went to repair Nissan dealer wanted hundreds of dollars more for parts/gave us wrong parts and we had to travel several miles and make several trips to have car repaired...through no help of Nissan shop..”

“Takata recall rear axels and differental leaking after being replaced 3 times when first discovered in 2016. Vehicle is very shakey and breaks are not responsive and oil smell is horrific”

NHTSA complaint #11140000, filed 2018-10, 110,000 miles

“Rear axle seal, driver side, and soon after, the passenger side as well, failed. Differential fluid leaked out onto inner wheel surface, brake parts, and immediate area creating hazardous conditions. This is a widely known problem for Nissan Titan owners and Nissan is, and has been, well aware of this problem and has not offered a design solution to my knowledge. Nearly every Titan experiences this seal failure at some point. …”

NHTSA complaint #10447228, filed 2012-02, 110,000 miles

“Nissan Titan -wheel spoke cracked through one wheel spoke of the 18 inch chrome alloy, 5 spoke wheel rim cracked in two. The brake was unstable and near the midpoint of the spoke. It was clearly visible from both sides of the wheel. There was no sign of impact or stress that might have caused the fracture. The other spokes remained intact, but this wa s a hazardous situation.”

NHTSA complaint #10195678, filed 2007-07, 23,960 miles

“Nissan Titan pickup truck- 5 spoke wheel spoke cracked. As the vehicle was driven to the dealership, the crack did worsen and caused increased vibration in the steering wheel. The dealership inspected the wheel for impact damage, non was observed. The 18in alloy wheel was replaced by dealership. No other wheel components, spokes had any damage. This is a mechanic breakdown of a tire-wheel component which will cause fatalities.”
