“The exhaust manifold on my Nissan Titan cracked prior to reaching 95k miles. With the crack, exhaust fumes are making their way into the AC system causing the cab of my truck to become filled with carbon dioxide. I have done adamant research and determined that I can replace the manifold at a local shop, but that almost every Titan owner out there has experienced cracked exhaust manifolds.”

“Driving my 2008 Nissan pro 4x king cab. Fuel gauge read 1/8 tank and computer said I had 8 miles more fuel. Previously when it gave those numbers I had 4-5 gallons of fuel left. Ran out of gas. Fortunately I was not on the interstate doing 70 in rush hour traffic. Would have been difficult to get to shoulder of an 8 lane highway.”

“Sending unit for my Nissan Titan failed, vehicle stopped. Was in traffic and became stranded for 1hr. I bought vehicle new and have only 20,000 miles. Was towed($95) and still under warranty. Spoke to a co-worker with the same vehicle, that had the same incident to occur.”

NHTSA complaint #10286614, filed 2009-10, 20,000 miles

“My vehicle was recalled I believe in may 2010 for a faulty fuel sending unit. I brought it in to the dealer to be checked and also requested that they check the horn and backup alarm which were still under warranty and did not seem to work at all times. They checked it over and said they would order parts and I would need another appointment. When I brought it back they replaced a horn relay but nothing else. The service manager told me they would have to order the fuel unit and would call me when it came in. He said the backup alarm seemed fine. …”

NHTSA complaint #10534944, filed 2013-08, 30,000 miles

“I bought my 2008 Nissan Titan 8/20/08, everything was great until odm hit about 3,000 miles. That's when my fuel gauge was inconsistent on it's readings and every time I pumped gas into my truck it would spill gas out. I took my truck into the Nissan dealer I bought the truck from and they kept it for 3 1/2 hours when I went to pick it up they said they found no problems and I should change my gas grade. I told them I only put 91 in and to go to a lesser grade wouldn't make any sense. …”
