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.
The contact's son owns a 2006 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while his son was driving at 35-45 mph, the vehicle stalled inadvertently. The contact was unsure whether there were warning lights. The contact's son was able to restart the vehicle and continued to drive; however the failure reoccurred several times while driving. The vehicle was taken to a local pep boys who diagnosed that the failure as a vehicle dynamic control switch, acceleration and power train system failures. The vehicle was not repaired. Additionally the contact stated that the instrument cluster had failed. The dealer was not notified of the failures. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in any recalls. The failure mileage was approximately 153,000.
Overheated, engine would not start, transmission would not shift to go mostly sluggish. This is my 3rd time Titan overheated, had to be towed.
My truck has been showing p0335 code issues, which is crankshaft sensor, which has been replaced, my rpm's jump/sputter but the truck stars & runs but feels like its running rough, also I forgot to mention that my dashboards "slip" light remains on. . . And the biggest problem with it is that, no "professionals" seem to know what it is, nor have they been able to fogure it out as of yet.
While driving down the road the rear tire flew off (passenger). Had we been even a 1/4 of a mile further we would have been on major highway and this could have killled us and any on coming traffic. When we went to repair Nissan dealer wanted hundreds of dollars more for parts/gave us wrong parts and we had to travel several miles and make several trips to have car repaired. . . Through no help of Nissan shop. .
P0430 and p0420 code.
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.
2006 Nissan Titan. Consumer states several problems with vehicle and recall issues the consumer stated the brake booster was defective and has not worked properly, since the vehicle was purchased. It would take extreme force to stop the vehicle. The fuel level sending unit, air conditioning condenser fan motor, engine control module relay, instrument panel fuel gauge all malfunctioned. Also, the lower control links that attached to the chassis mounting failed.
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!!.
2006 Nissan Titan died in parking lot on Sunday, August 1st, started right up. On Monday, August 2nd, died in bank drive through, took about 8-10 minutes to get started, then only "chugged". Was able to get out of drive through line and to parking spot. Turned engine off for 20 minutes, started up and went back to work. At 5:00 on that day, would not start. Tried for 30 minutes. Husband had friend tow it home and they checked the spark plugs and a few things with no luck. On August, 4th, husband towed the truck to the clay cooley Nissan dealership, their test showed it to be the ipdm sensor out. This part was replaced and truck was fixed. The cost for this repair was $306. 16. I have just found out that this sensor has been recalled on Titans produced from 2004 to June 2006. According to clay cooley Nissan, my truck was produced in April 2006; according to Nissan customer service this recall was effective from 2004 to March 2006. This makes no sense to me. This part was recalled and it went out on my truck. I plan to keep following on this issue until I get my 306. 16 refunded.
11/16/09 car (2006 Titan - crew cab) died while turning out of a street of on-coming traffic. Could have been hit by a car but wasn't. Car eventually started after a few starts. 11/17/09 car did not start at all; car had to be towed to Nissan service department 11/17/09 Nissan service department suspected a problem with the ipdm = intelligent power distributor module- the part that provides power for the whole vehicle to run. Service department has indicated that the part is hard to come by because of the backlog in manufacturing the part. After diagnostics, it was the ipdm and was told that the part will take about 3 weeks to order. After talking to service rep, they have indicated that they had several cars that were waiting for the part for their car. 11/25/ part received and car will be fixed by end of today and ready for pick up. Cost of part and labor should not be at consumer cost but at the manufacturer because of the inconvenience that this has caused.
My vehicle, which I bought used with about 140,000 miles on it had cracked exhaust manifolds, which I replaced. Both were cracked and one actually fell to pieces when unbolted. One replacement cracked after about 15,000 miles, but was able to have it braised. Now, at about 180,000 miles they a spewing carbon monoxide into the cab again. This is a serious health and safety issue, and from checking Titan club web sites, it seems to be a widespread issue. I do not drive off road or subject the truck to abnormal driving conditions. I appreciate your time and consideration. Robert miller.
