1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/08/2022

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.

3 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2017

Complete rear axle failure with 105,400 miles. This rear axle was built to weak to handle the engine horse power and the vehicle cannot tow 7,800 lbs. Nissan falsely advertisie that this vehicle can tow 7,800 lbs. My vehicle never towed, it has no hithch the rear axle couldn't withstand just propelling the vehicle for 105,000 miles. A class action lawsuit is justified for owners if these vehicles affected with this known design flaw.

While traveling at 80 mph I felt an odd shake on my Titan. I exited the freeway and got out of the vehicle. The rear driver side was smoking. I noticed gear oil leaking out all over the brakes and tire. I ended up needing to replace the axle, seal,bearing,backing plate and abs sensor. $1300. 00 and 3 days later it is back in the shop. Leaking gear oil from the same place. Waiting to hear from mechanic what I need to do next.

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. .

9 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/09/2014

Was driving on the freeway home from work and in a split second the back end of the truck started bouncing and became hard to steer. I slowed down and was getting ready to pull over onto the shoulder when a big chunk of my tire separated and came flying off over my truck hitting the car beside me. I slowed down even more and pulled off onto the shoulder of the highway, ( all of this happened in less than 1 mile) when I got out I so upset when I discovered the damage the separation of the defective tire had caused to my truck and the car of a very irate driver these tires did not have more than 20,000 miles on them. The tire totally wrecked my undercarriage, including the rods, supports and liner for the wheel well, plus the wheel well, rear quarter panel and bumper. There are also damages to the front quarter panel of the other vehicle. I have a $1000. 00 deductible and now am unable to afford repairs or tires, I need to be able to work and need cooper tires to pay for the damages and defective tires please.
