Wiring problems of the 2004 Nissan Titan

2004 Nissan Titan. Consumer writes in regards to faulty wire harness recall notice. The consumer stated the recall remedy failed and was only a temporary fix. The consumer stated the vehicle failed a state inspection, because the air bag light was on. The consumer stated since the fix did not eliminate the potential hazardous condition of the faulty wiring harness installed by the manufacturer, he believed he was entitled to refund of $ 185. 60 when he had to pay for the repairs, that should have previously been made under the recall.

I took my truck in for the service manager at wallace Nissan, kingsport, TN, to find out if they would repair the broken wire in the wiring harness in the rear door, I was told by the service manager and by Nissan consumer affairs office that Nissan would not repair the broken wire, even though the NHTSA had a recall for this problem, Nissan told me that the campaign had ended and they would not do anything about the problem, as I recall in the NHTSA recall the wiring affects the passenger side airbag, which would explain why the passenger side airbag has been flashing continuously for about 3 months, I have been in contact with Nissan consumer affairs office but they have quit answering my emails to them, all I am asking is for Nissan to repair the wiring harness and broken wires on my unsafe vehicle. Recall # 06v459000.

I was traveling towing a 33 ft camper. Usually tow at about 62 mph. All of a sudden the truck cuts out then turns back on and "bucks". My lights on my dash light up like a color blinking christmas tree. My speedometer goes all the way to 140 mph, my rpms max out, my fuel gauge goes up and down along with the temp gauge. Furthermore all the gauges and warning lights flash or move in no form or fashion. Steering gets stiff along with the brakes because the truck shuts off. I controlled the truck to avoid crashing in between the on and off periods. This happened several times. Thought it was wiring from camper or brake controller. However, over the last few weeks from about mid sept it has progressively gotten worse. Now I can't go out of the driveway before the truck starts acting up. There is a bad accident waiting to happen. In my past experience with Nissan is they are reluctant to say anything is wrong and to fix things. I have had enough go wrong with my truck from brakes, electrical, and rear end unit. Just last weekend 20 oct 12 I took the truck on about a 15 mile round trip and it acted up again. Between July and sept 2012 the truck would start the shut completely off in parked position. It still does that now too. The truck is now parked until I figure what is the problem. I don't have mega bucks to fix it! someone said Nissan has a computer recall but I have not been notified and I contacted a dealer but they have not called back. Its been 3 days now. They said the description I gave them matches the recall??????????.

The wiring harness, in the back door has broken, because of a Nissan engineering problem, both the harness and wires have broken, which according to NHTSA the front passenger side airbag will not deply, resulting in my having an unsafe truck according to NHTSA, I contacted Nissan and was told that the campaign had ended, so they refuse to repair my truck according to the guidelines set by NHTSA. At what point does Nissan decide that they can decide which trucks to repair, I have to wonder how many other unsafe Nissan trucks are on the highways.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. The vehicle was included in the recall under NHTSA campaign id number: 06v459000 (electrical system) and was taken to the dealer for the replacement of the front passenger side wiring harness. After the repair, the srs light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics. The technician stated the wiring harness on the front driver side would have to be replaced but also stated that the part needed for the repair would have to be ordered. The contact did not hear back from the dealer and contacted them after some time. The technician then advised that another diagnostic test would have to be performed in order to determine the failure because the part had arrived and was sent back. The technician stated that the repair would not be covered under the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.

2004 Nissan Titan the rear wiring harness is routed over the frame rail directly next to the tailpipe causing it to melt in the event of an exhaust leak. This happened to me and now I'm stuck splicing wires together as the local dealer in saint john nb want over $1000. 00 to replace, this problem seem to be a common one among other owners I have talked to and poses a serious fire hazard / potential accident due to complete sudden loss of all power. Nissan canada should be made aware of this (I'm sure they already are) to avoid any legal problems that may arise due to them not recommending an inspection / notice or recall of the rear wiring harness.

While pulling my boat to the lake yesterday at approximately 65 mph on the interstate with my 2004 Titan 4x4 king cab (mileage approximately 78,000), the abs, slip, and vdc lights illuminated. Before I could reach an exit to pull off, the engine shut down. This happened within a matter of less than 3 minutes. I was able to pull to the side of the interstate but the engine would not re-fire. Upon inspection, I noticed smoke pouring from rear passenger wheel well. I got all occupants out of the truck and when I returned seconds later, I spotted a fire coming from the wiring harness just where it goes over the frame rail in the rear passenger wheel well. Luckily I had a fire extinguisher on the boat and was able to put the fire out before causing major damage to the truck, my family or passers-by. I have had the vehicle towed to the dealership to be inspected and they "believe" a new wiring harness will fix the problem although they have "no idea" how a fire could have happened. A "belief" that the problem is fixed is not comforting.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. While driving approximately 5 mph on normal road conditions, the exhaust tail pipe was damaged due to an unknown obstacle on the road surface. The vehicle resumed normal operation. In addition, whenever the driver's side door was opened, the parking light activated without assistance and the driver's side turn signal was nonfunctional. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection and they stated that the tail pipe disengagement contributed to the melting of the wiring harness. The vehicle is operable and has not been repaired. The manufacturer did not assist. The failure and current mileages were 65,000.

On 6/20/2008 I went to a Nissan dealership to resolve a recall item to replace rear door wiring harness, recall # r0616. The recall was performed and in the process the dealership also replaced lh-pretensioner, seatbelt and body harness, and reset airbag warning light. On 6/03/2013, the airbag warning light came on and I went to a nearby Nissan dealership and was advised that I would have to replace the lh-pretensioner, seatbelt and body harness, I informed the service advisor that this work was already accomplished once and that I had the documents if he needed them. The service advisor then stated that since the work was accomplished five years ago that even though the parts are a safety item that they were no longer under warranty, resulting in a 574. 30 charge of which I paid. My contention is that this is a safety item, and thus should not have a warranty restriction, I am not sure if the truck is even safe to drive.
