general problems of the 2006 Nissan Titan

Window regulator and window assembly keep failing.

So back in October 2023 ,I noticed a lot of things go wrong at once lime the radiator had to be replaced because it was leaking everywhere. The steering went bad and started leaking. The rear main seal started leaking. The clock spring went bad. There isntons of water always in the passenger floorboard and passenger door. The fuel gauge is all over the place and never reads right. The oil pressure gauge always has been on high. The engine light, air bag light slip light, and abs light have always been on. The right rear window stopped going up and the controls on the drivers door sometimes work and sometimes don't. The manuel shifter has never worked and I cannot put the transmission in 2,3, or 4th gear from a stand still. Always been weird knocking sound in the suspension.

Noticed electrical burning smell outside the previous day but could not find the source. In the morning found that the front, passenger door had caught fire and smoldered all night long burning to a crisp. Not sure the cause. The truck was last driven on Friday and sat all weekend until the problem was discovered Monday morning. The truck still runs and as far as I can tell everything except the speaker in the door is working and the passenger power seat which was also slightly burnt.

I have had to replace my transfer case 2 times, my front drive side hub assembly 2 times in less than 2 years. I have replace front axle and and rear. Now my passenger side leaks out from under the glove box every time it rains into my floor keeping it wet. Just yesterday my transmission went itno limp mode and I know it can be a number of things . I look at the 04 thru 07 Titans and they have a lot of issues like have but haven't listed them all, but the issues iam having are not on recall list for my 2006, but are for the other years??? this is my only vehicle and I can't afford to keep dropping $ into it. Back driver window motor stopped and window fell and broke, manifold ticking is a recall for the 2005, but not my 2006. I could keep going but I am getting so frustrated. I was going down the road at about 45 mhp when it just went into limp mode, so I pulled over turned it off and back on then it would work for about 3 min. Stop do it again to get home. It will go into gear, and the rpm's rev and go up ,but I am not getting very far at all. My trans fluid is good. I have also replaced the throttle position sensor. All fuses are good and codes reset and it still goes limp mode.

Tl the contact owns a 2006 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that the electrical warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 06v459000 (electrical system) by henderson Nissan (295 auto mall dr, henderson, nv 89014, (702) 558-5800); however, the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the electrical warning indicator remained illuminated after the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.

Wire harness for the rear power slider (behind the rear seat) caught on fire. Fire marshall said it was a faulty wire harness. Caught our carseats and the entire cab, and bed on fire. Vehicle was off, parked and vacant when the fire was visible, but only for 10 minutes, so it may have started when it on, and wasn't visible right away.

It will crank but will not start.

Keep getting a recall notification for our truck. However check the VIN # out and it says nothing is there. But in the mail today it says there is still a recall for the wire harness routed through the rear doors on the campaign # 06v-459.

Vehicle was just below 1/4 a tank mark. I turned engine off. Reset trip odometer. Put fuel into vehicle. Gas gauge took over 10 minutes to go from below 1/4 tank to just above 3/4 full.

2006 Nissan Titan. Consumer writes in regards to air bag warning lamp recall notice problems. The dealer informed the consumer, the driver's side air bag issue, was not covered in the recall.

While waiting for my wife to come out of a store with truck running I noticed a light flickering in the store window. My wife came out of the store and got into the truck. While backing out I noticed the flickering light in the window coming with me. When I stopped the truck I noticed smoke coming up over my hood then the cab of the truck started to get warm. I noticed a burning smell and told my wife that I think my truck was on fire. I got out of the truck, went to the front and saw the condenser fan motor on fire. I was able to extinguish the fire with a can of coke that was on the ground. A little while later it flammed up again and had to get a bucket of water from the store clerk. The fire caused over $4100. 00 in damage. I had a recall on this condenser fan motor, had it taken care of in February 2012. Caught fire on 09/02/2013.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that after parking the vehicle, smoke emerged from the hood as the vehicle caught fire under the hood area. The fire was extinguished by the fire department and a police report was filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not inspected to determine the cause of the fire. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.

Sitting overnight with temperature in the 40's, when putting the automatic transmission into drive,it would keep dropping out of gear. The truck drove fine when manually shifting through the gears. Problem continued for most of a year but did not generate an error code. Finally developed an error code indicating problem in first gear of the transmission valve body with tcm. This required replacement of valve body internal to the transmission, which had been contaminated by an undetectable radiator to trans cooler leak also requiring the radiator to be replaced. I have been told this is not an uncommon problem, for which Nissan has done nothing, other than putting a special coating on bolts internal to the transmission to detect the presence of coolant. This problem can cause complete failure of the transmission. It could be easily prevent by the installation of a separate transmission cooler.

My airbag did not deploy after being involved in an incident. There is ongoing electrical issues with shorting out battery overnight when radio is connected. Nissan removed fuse and can't locate the electrical issue. Condenser fan has gone out.

Traveling in heavy morning traffic and the vehicle simply quit in the midst of hundreds of vehicles. It would not fully restart but would only rough idle a time or two. Vehicle had to be towed and it was determined that the ipdm/ecm had failed. The parts were replaced and as soon as I began leave the repair facility the "service engine soon" light came on. It was determined that one of the catalytic converters had failed. . . Due to raw fuel being dumped into it as result of the failure of the ipdm/ecm. A few days later, as I was researching catalytic converters online, I came across a Nissan recall - NHTSA campaign id 10v517000 and realized that this was the exact situation but that I had not received notice of said recall. I contacted Nissan regarding this situation and reimbursement for the repairs and they advised that I'd have to take the vehicle to one of their dealers for inspection before they'd consider reimbursing. I did so and they did reimburse for the ipdm/ecm repairs. However, when I asked about the catalytic converter failure. . . Which was an immediate result of the ipdm/ecm failure, the dealer (and Nissan consumer affairs) indicated that I'd have to get an estimate & "restart" the process. While doing so, I learned of numerous examples of this very same thing happening when ipdm/ecm fails & dumps raw fuel into the catalytic converter. So, I obtained the estimate from a Nissan dealer and recontacted Nissan consumer affairs and began the process again. In the meantime, I did learn that it is not safe to drive a vehicle with a damaged converter as it can cause the engine to fail. . . Thereby causing a dangerous situation on the road. . . For myself and others. Nissan has now refused to pay to repair the catalytic converter which was damaged by the failure of their recalled part. . . And I am wondering if your office can help me in this particular situation.

Catalytic converter went out & needed to be replaced in order to pass a smog! $2400 to fix and the mechanic said there was nothing left of the honeycomb inside when there should be!! recall needs to be issued!!.

Nissan Titan (36k miles), 2006 model. The abs control module went bad causing the car speedometer to quit working as well as the cars transmission to jump into and out of gear while on the road. Caused the car to slow dramatically on the interstate and could cause a crash. I brought the car into Nissan at rivergate in TN (thinking this was being casued by the current recall tied to the emc, engine control module) and they told me it was the abs control module and it would cost $1,500 to repair, where the emc costs $2 to repair. Makes me wonder if Nissan correctly identified thier current issue with the cars electronic controls, or maybe that they've chosen to tie the recall to a cheap componet and allow the dealer to then jig the consumer for the higher priced component. In either case, I feel this is a safety issue.

Ipdm component failed. Caused 2006 Nissan Titan to die 6 times in a 2 mile journey. Lost power steering, could not safely complete a turn, had to drive into a wooded roadside to avoid hitting an on-coming car. Once at a repair station, they could not get vehicle to start and I had to have the vehicle towed to dealership for repairs. Could have cost me more. . . If the engine were over cranked it could damage the catalytic converter according to the mechanic at the dealership. Scary experience to have with my kids in the car.

Truck stalls with no warning about once a day. The latest incident on the freeway. Lucky to be alive. Nissan replaced the ipdm at a cost of $600 .

The truck stalled while driving on the road once. It also stalled at start up when I got home and 2 more times the following day and at the dealership during the drop. The dealer replaced ipdm because it was only 1 month passed the warranty but under 36,000 warranty.

Nhtsa campaign id number: 06v459000 I was told that this recall does not apply to my vehicle, but I do have this problem, and I do have the vehicle mentioned. I was told by Nissan and the dealership that my vehicle's VIN is not part of the campaign.

So of these issues are just now popping. Only 2 of the issues have been taken care of. Per the dealership I would be contacted and have not received any calls to get these matters taken care of. I feel this vehicle is unsafe since the issues have not be addressed.
