general problems of the 2005 Nissan Titan

Engine stalled while driving then would crank but not start.

My truck just stopped in the middle of the road while driving. I could not move the steering wheel and the engine would not turn over. The gas hand was registering a quarter of a tank of fuel so I did not think that I had run out of gas. After being towed to the shop the mechanic checked the vehicle and said that it was just out of gas but the gas gauge was still registering 1/4 of a tank of gas. Gas was put in the truck and it started right up. The mechanic informed me of a recall on the 2005 Nissan Titans that matched what was happening to my truck. When I informed Nissan they told me there is a recall but that my VIN number is not included in the recall. I have had the same incident where the truck just shut off 2 more times now and this should be covered by the Nissan recall since this is the exact problem that is happening to my truck that is stated in the recall and my truck is the exact year. Can someone please help me to get Nissan to honor this recall for my truck? recall id#68290.

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.

Gas guage says 189 then drops to 70 and changes every 5 mins and its died with reading half full and 197 miles till empty it fluctuates in motion at a stop at random times.

While driving on a highway at approximately 55 mph, my engine stalled. I lost all engine power to my truck, with no error codes, no check engine light. I had to place my truck in neutral while at speed in traffic in the left lane and coast to a safe location on the right shoulder. During this time, I had no power steering or power brakes. After I safely stopped on the shoulder, I tried to restart my engine. My engine would not start. Approximately one month prior to this incident, my truck had intermittently stalled while stopped, with an error code that pointed to an ineffective catalytic converter. I had my mass air flow sensor replaced, my ecm relay replaced, and my catalytic converter replaced, at a cost of ~ $5000 total. I am now told the the intelligent power distribution module is likely the culprit for all of these problems, which will cost me another $700 to replace. In researching previous recalls, there is an existing recall for the ecm relay, but not the ipdm module. It appears in other Titan forums that several other people have suffered from the same issue.

After driving for 250-300 miles with stops for fuel and food the engine loses power and quits. After getting off the road and turning off the ignition for several minutes the engine will restart and run for 10 t0 20 minutes until it quits again. This happens on interstate highways at speed of 70+/- mph. This has been happening for 6 or 8 months. The truck has been to several shops and several parts have been replaced according to the ecm service engine codes. Nothing has solved the problem. Took the truck to Nissan dealer for help. They could not find the problem and said they had no record of any such problem and could not do anything unless they drove the truck and had the problem happen while they were driving. I do not know what is causing the engine to quit at highway speeds and at this point neither does Nissan. I believe this lose of power is as dangerous as the gm ignition problem which caused a lost of power. Since I need the truck for transportation I continue to drive it but try to stay in the right lane so I can get off the road when it quits.

The other day I was sitting in traffic for almost 30 min stopped with the engine running (lots of christmas traffic on the 5 south freeway), I put the truck in park because I notice an accident. I had my windows up and my cabin air on. Then a few min later I started feeling dizzy almost fainting. The car next to me saw that I was struggling, came to my window and asked me if I was ok. I rolled down my window and he noticed the smell of exhaust inside my truck. After my headache went away. I went to the dealership and they told me both of my exhaust manifolds were cracked and that's how the exhaust was entering near the front cabin.

Nissan replaced the ecu relay and front fan they installed a jumper fuse into the ipdm and now vehicle shuts down while driving now the vehicle wont even turn over. The battery was drained now charged when I turn the ignition I get zero response from the starter as if the ipdm was blown. The truck shut down while driving like 10 - 20 within a 5 mi trip to get back home.

We took the Titan to a Nissan dealership for recall service and general service only to find out that the fuel level sensor that was on recall notice is not covered on our particular VIN. Interesting that the $110 diagnostic test I was charged for showed that sensor has failed, but Nissan refuses to cover my vehicle under the recall. By looking at the complaints on this site, I can see I am not the only consumer affected by this issue. Makes me wonder if Nissan is actually honoring any of the recalls for this particular repair. Interesting that after my service date, I was contacted by a sales representative with the same dealership asking if I would consider bringing in my 2005 Titan for a trade-in opportunity. I don't want a new car, I want this one repaired with the recall that was issued to address this problem. I contacted the national office and was assigned a case number and the individual handling the case also declined my request for repair. On that same call, I was asked how many Nissan vehicles I own and if I would consider buying a Nissan in the future. Based on my experience with this recall, I will never own another Nissan. Nor will I recommend Nissan to anyone who asked what our experience has been with this vehicle and the Nissan motor corporation.

Hi, I have a 2005 Nissan Titan and the exhaust manifold has cracked in the same spot twice now and it is before the cat so that means its now a gross polluter. The problem is you get it fixed and they put the same part back on that cracks again because they haven't changed the design. There are 3 other Titans in my town and all of us have the same story. Also the sway bar mount on all of ours are broke witch results in very poor handling. I hope it can be recalled before something serious happens. Thank you.

Loud exhaust sound coming from the front, on both sides for the engine compartment. Due to a craked manifold. I could also smell exhaust fumes inside. I keep the window cracked open when I drive for safty reasons, mostly when I have my wife and kids in the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while driving 50 mph the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnose that the fuel sender unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign id number: 10v074000 (fuel system).

The spider gears in my rear differential sheared off, causing catastrophic failure of my rear end. This has been a huge problem with the Nissan Titans, and should be addressed.
