I drove my 2006 Nissan Titan le to mcdonald's on elk street which is like 5 miles away from my house when you got food came back to my house which is 1700 swanson drive space 43 when inside came back out radiator blew out the bottom replaced radiator and then transmission started going out electrical units relays going out replaced but still truck is acting up really bad I have replaced the radiator transmission bracket tons and tons of fluids a bunch of electrical fuses really tired of working on my truck transmission is going out and I don't feel like I should have to pay for this problem when it all occurred at one time I have this trucks financed I still owe $17,000 on it and it barely runs I would like to proceed on maybe figuring out a way to help me get a new transmission or getting a different vehicle.
My 2006 Titan started vibrating like running over rumble strips on side of highway. Took straight to dealership. Was told that the cooling system split and contaminated the transmission. I had to have the transmission and radiator replaced $7313. 56. There was no warning or anything. After reading many complaints for the same thing on other Nissan vehicles, there needs to be an investigation and a recall on the cooling system that can cause this amount of damage.
Driving at night and the cabin heater wouldn't get warm. Didn't think much about it as I was driving less than 5 miles. The next morning noticed a large pool of antifreeze under the truck. Topped the coolant off, fired the truck up and let it idle in the driveway until it came up to normal to warm water temperature and antifreeze began dripping from the bottom of the radiator. Researched the radiator issue and found some Titan owners have had to replace cracked/split radiators more than once. To avoid multiple radiator replacements I will be purchasing a high performance aluminum radiator at a significant cost difference. I feel this should be a recall covered by the manufacturer. The plastic radiators may cut down the vehicles weight, making it easier to attain federal mpg standards but the all metal ones just last longer and are easily repaired. How many Titan radiators have drained their antifreeze into the street and then the storm drain? maybe the epa should be informed since; "antifreeze is toxic to humans and animals. Waste antifreeze contains heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and chromium in high enough levels to potentially make it a regulated hazardous waste, so most states strictly regulate antifreeze disposal. Antifreeze generators and state and local programs should not dump spent antifreeze on land or discharge it into a sanitary sewer, storm drain, ditch, dry well, or septic system; dumping antifreeze can cause serious water quality problems and might harm people, pets, or wildlife".
I have a Nissan Titan 2006 and had to replace my fuel pump 2 times and now I have rear axle leaking and I now have 2 cracked manifolds which dealer told me is very common also I need to replace the flow for heating and cooling. I am very concerned with the exhaust leaking which could only be done by getting the truck very hot which if I did I would of had to do head gaskets. Which are ok. Also I had to replace the radiator it had 2 cracks in where it is bolted they give and became weak. I don't abuse my truck I love it I have never got it hot I maintain it as much as possible. Alot of the complaints I have read are the same a mine what does it take to get this resolved. Call me we need to band together and fix this.
