general problems of the 2006 Nissan Titan

The weld on the left rear shackle that holds the leaf spring in place rusted through and the leaf spring pushed up through the bottom of the truck bed causing a hole. In my opinion based on my inspection the weld failed due to rust. I purchased the vehicle brand new in 2006 and had corrosion protection applied. This type of wear and tear should not happen to a vehicle like this. I have taken photos to document the damage. I am going to take the vehicle to Nissan to review the issue.

Right rear spring shackle broke at the welds while driving allowing the leaf spring to be thrust up against the under side of the bed. By luck or other I was to be towing our travel trailer later in the day for the holiday weekend. A cursory search found a high number of complaints of broken shackles in model year 04-07. Shackles appear to have been upgraded in model year 08. This failure could have easily caused a serious accident to self or others had the axle shifted resulting in loss of control.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 60 mph, when the brake pedal was depressed, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle which caused the contact to crash into a side wall. A police report was filed. The contact had sustained injuries to the arms and neck which did not require medical attention. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000. The VIN was unavailable. A preliminary investigation suggests the lower control link assembly may have separated casing the consumer to lose steering ability. Recall 10e019000 was referenced in the complaint.

I was driving down the highway when all of a sudden I heard a noise from my backend and almost lost control of my truck. I got out and checked to find my leaf spring busted and sticking through my truck bed. I called Nissan of north America and they are unwilling to offer any help because of it being a used vehicle. It seems it would be more cost effective to do a recall now until waiting until someone is killed. When I asked the young lady what happens next time when the other side goes and I get into a fatal accident killing myself or someone else? her reply was that we will have to address that when it happens. What lousy customer service.

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.

Upon further inspection, the contact found that the shackle that was connected to the leaf spring was damaged. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that there were no recalls for the failure. The manufacturer was also notified and informed the contact that the vehicle was not under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 61000.

At 38,000 miles the drive side rear axle seal on my 2006 Nissan Titan started leaking spreading grease all over the inside of the wheel. This was not in any way due to neglect of the vehicle, off road 4-wheel drive driving or via auto accident as I drive exclusively on paved roads and the truck has never been in an accident. I feel this could easily have covered my brakes with grease and oil and caused longer stopping distances which of course could lead to accidents.

1. I own a 2006 Nissan Titan crew cab se. After normal driving of the vehicle for 2 years and 2 months the vehicle requires an alignment. The vehicle has no way to adjust the camber. There was no camber kit installed on the vehicle from the factory. Every manufacturer knows that part of proper maintenance is realigning the vehicle. 2. I have searched the internet to find out if other Titan owners have had this problem and I have found numerous blogs of 2006 Nissan Titans having the same problem. This is the only year I have found that Nissan failed to provide the ability to align the vehicle. 3. Nissan has done nothing to correct this problem. When Nissan is contacted they inform me that there is nothing they can do since my vehicle is out of warranty since I have exceeded the 36,000 miles. I am told that I have to purchase a camber kit from Nissan in order to align the vehicle.
