Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Clicking noise coming from dash when switching from defrost to vent, then again after vehicle has shut off (last 10-20 seconds worth of ticking noise ), has done this since I had purchased it. Now there is no heat when heater is turned on, blows cold air. In reading forums, I am not the only one. This needs to be recalled. I saw the voluntary service campaign, but in talking with my Nissan dealer, they say this only goes until 72k. Kind of convenient when im at 73k.”
NHTSA complaint #10725526, filed 2015-06, 73,000 miles“I recently had air bag light start flashing. I took in to Nissan dealer to get checked and they said the spiral cable was bad, this is also known as clock spring. Nissan reset and said bring back if occurs again. It did and I took to another shop for second opinion and same result. I agreed to get part to fix the truck. After being told part was on back order no eta on delivery of parts from Nissan. After 4 weeks I checked and found out the same dealer has 6 other spiral cables on back order. …”
NHTSA complaint #10917932, filed 2016-10, 85,000 miles“During a road trip from fl to ny, I noticed a faint rattle underneath the truck but didn't think much of it. During that trip, I noticed my tailpipe didn't look like it was positioned properly. It was loose! The muffler to tailpipe mounting flange had completely rusted away from, which is apparently a common problem (reference blogs; titanspot, titantalk, clubtitan). I threw the tailpipe in the bed and kept driving. Throughout that weekend, the vehicle operated normally without any issues. …”
NHTSA complaint #10629129, filed 2014-08, 69,400 miles“They have been making Titan ics since 2004 and there have been re calls due to the trailer brake control circuit failing due to bad body control modules. I believe all Titan ics need to be re called for this issue. My Titan ic will not work with 2 different brake controllers by 2 different manufacturers. Best to not attempt to tow anything that requires a brake control due to this on going problem for any year Titan ic. 2 bad for me it is out of warranty by a few months and the re sale value is very low for all Nissan due to poor quality.”
NHTSA complaint #10560125, filed 2014-01, 11,000 miles“Whether stationary or moving, the AC blower, defrost, etc won't work as it always runs cold and does not blow any hot air to defrost windows. This is especially problematic when car is foggin up on the inside and the defrost won't blow any hot air. Cabin of truck is especially cold now as it won't blow any hot air. There is a clicking sound when tying to turn the AC/heater control knob, like the blower door is stuck or the motor can't turn the door to let the hot air in.”
