Engine stalled while driving then would crank but not start.
The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked unattended, she heard an abnormal clicking sound coming from the door locks. The contact opened the door and noticed smoke coming from the ignition switch. The contact was unsure if there were any warning lights illuminated. The contact's husband disconnected the battery. The vehicle was towed to the residence. Additionally, the vehicle failed to start and the windows and lights became inoperable. The locks continued making the abnormal clicking noise. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 165,324.
For the past three months, I've spent over $3,000 diagnosing and "fixing" erroneous warning lights. This past week, my truck (2005 Titan) would not start. The first time, it just cranked the starter, but would not engage. Now, I can turn the ignition to start and the starter won't even engage (no "clicking" noise, no noise whatsoever). It will start after several attempts, but I have to wait at least 2-3 minutes between each attempt. I've replaced the ecm (at my own expense) and it still does not start properly. It appears (from reading online posts in Titan forums) that the issue is the ipdm (intelligent power distribution module). The symptoms all line up. I feel lucky that my engine has not completely stopped while driving (yet). This is an utter hazard and needs to be addressed before someone loses their life because Nissan will not address the ipdm problem and recall/replace those that are faulty.
I took my truck to youngblood Nissan in springfield and they said that they cant fixed my recall because of the lines were rusted something like that and is going to charge me 1200. 00 but the recall should coverit.
When exiting highway engine quit running. Fuel tank showed 1/4 tank left. Highway support vehicle stop to help, gave me some gas, about 1 gallon. Still would not start, had vehicle towed. Put 2 more gallons of fuel in tank, vehicle started. Found a NHTSA campaign id number 10v074000, for 2005-2009 Titan's for this exact same problem, but for some reason my Titan is not covered even though it's a 2005. I have called my local dealer and Nissan customer service with no help. Just asking why my Titan is not covered? I have uploaded a file of the campaign id number.
While driving one the highway I noticed my vehicle start to shutter and shut down as if it ran out of gas. My fuel gauge said half a tank so I didn't think it was the problem until I walked to the gas station to fill up a gas can. I put 2 gallons of gas into my fuel tank that said I had a half a tank. I started my truck and it started. Since that incident it has happened 3 times, the most recent being yesterday 07/02/18. I replaced the fuel pump today in hopes that it fixes the problem.
The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle lost power and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to melloy Nissan (located at 7707 lomas blvd ne, albuquerque, nm 87110) where it was diagnosed that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The contact repaired the vehicle himself; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage and VIN were not available.
Their is a current recall on the fuel system for the gauge reading incorrectly and could cause an accident. My truck is having that issue, but my VIN shows not to be under that recall. I am also having engine problems that I also believe to be due to a failing fuel pump or possibly one of the other many problems with engine performance on this model Titan. I don't understand why the recall for the fuel gauge problem is not covering my vehicle , I have had many problems with my Nissan Titan since I bought it brand new and absolutely no help from Nissan to fix faulty parts, including the valve cover that if clogged will allow engine oil down into the valves and cylinder and cause smoking problem, and eventually ruin the engine cylinder. My Titan will not take fuel and starts staling out at 2000 rpm causing me to almost be in several accidents already. All vehicles with parts that are being recalled should be involved in the recall. Nissan should'nt be able to pic and choose who gets covered, they should man up and fix their cheap parts when they fail.
Was accelerating after coming to a stop at a stop sign. Got up to about 15 mph when all of a sudden the engine died in the middle of traffic. Tried to restart but could not. Coasted into a side street. Fuel guage indicated that the vehicle still had 1/8 of a tank of fuel. After putting in about a half of a gallon of gasoline was able to get to a gas station. Once truck was full it ran with no problem. A week later I ran the fuel down to the same amount (1/8) where the truck had died before. This time I had a spare gas can with me. The vehicle died again.
After having ipdm module replaced (campaign number 10v517000), the ses light showed bad catalytic converters within a few thousand miles. The ipdm module failed before being replaced and it caused raw fuel to be dumped on the catalytic converters which caused them to fail. I think Nissan should be responsible for the cost of failed catalytic converters when their faulty part caused the damage. This is an expensive repair ($2,800). After looking at forums on the internet, I see many people having issues with the Titan catalytic converters and having them fail before the vehicle reaches 100k miles. I filed a complaint with Nissan and they would not help with the repair. They said the faulty ipdm would not cause cats to fail.
Got in my truck to go to work today and while turning right out of my driveway the engine revved up and I was going no where. I let off the gas and as the motor rpm came down there was a loud bang and the vehicle jumped forward. Continued down the road about 200ft and turned around. Parked the truck. Checked the fluid. Metal shavings and chunks inside with plenty of fluid. Also noticed a leaking rear wheel seal on the drivers side. This truck only has 78000 miles on it. Absolutely unacceptable Nissan.
