general problems of the 2008 Nissan Titan

Tl the contact owns a 2008 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The contact was informed by an independent mechanic that similar vehicles were subjected to a recall however, the campaign number was not provided. Palmetto57 Nissan located at 16725 NW 57th Ave, miami gardens, FL 33055, (305) 521-8297, was contacted and informed of the failure. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

When turning with the 4 wheel drive engaged, a loud pop was heard like something slamming against metal. And my front tires would not spin causing the truck to get stuck, needing to be towed out. A mechanic fixed the problem of a snapped/broken flange assembly (part # 38220-8s11a) also circlip lock ring (part # 38225-8s110). The same parts broke a 2nd time requiring repair and now a 3rd time. I don't know what to do I cant afford to keep fixing the problem and cant afford a new truck please help us please!!!.

Takata inflators when turning the key it makes a faint click it does not start but when I try it again then it will start the truck is stationary.

Recently the low range shift has stopped working. I use the lower range to hold back the trailer that I tow and I am unable to use it so I have to use my brakes when going downhill. I purchased this vehicle used in August 2009 with 16,000 miles on it. I have only put 30,000 miles on it and expect it to perform longer.

At all times when driving down the road the rear end of my truck shakes from 55-80 miles per hour (pretty much the usable speed range of the truck is now worthless). The truck wobbles so much now that it feels unsafe to drive even after numerous attempts to correct the problem I. E. New tires, new rims and new tires, balancing, alignments. Research that I have done has determined that this is a very wide-spread problem and many owners/operators of the Nissan Titan refer to this violent shacking as the "death wobble" I have spoke with my local Nissan dealership and have discovered that Nissan of America is not interested in addressing this epidemic that is effecting so many of the Titans they have manufactured. The problem is large enough that Nissan has published a TSB which includes necessary parts that must be purchased that may only alleviate the "death wobble" and not cure it. I am sad that Nissan of America is not standing behind its product to fix an issue that is clearly hazardous not only to the owner/operator of the Titan, but all those that are sharing the road with these affected vehicles. My personal note is that my truck feels so hazardous that I will no longer transport my wife or my 3 children in it and I think something should be done to fix this issue.

Initial problem was when I stopped at the light. Then wile it turned green and truck started rolling it stopped just like osmeone would stepped hardly on the breaks or hit me from behind. I thought it was isolated incident about couple days later it started making noise in the rear section. I stopped driving the vehicle. Towed to Nissan sadly warranty ran out 2 weeks prior the delivery to Nissan, however incident happened prior the expiration the warranty. Nissan dealer said rear end assembly has to be replaced. Nissan said they will nto cover the cost of repair.

While driving home the truck revved and lost power, I took my foot off the accelerator the truck regained power and I was able to slowly drive the truck home. It happened twice more on that same drive home. I took it down to the dealership where they told me it was the transmission. I explained it only had 22,000 miles on it and it has never been abused in anyway. There is no reason for the transmission to break. We use it mainly for the dogs to travel in and when guess are in town we have an extra vehicle run to the store and back. Honestly the truck does very little but show off the dogs when they get to go to the market and back. We call and talked with the Nissan rep. Whos name is ricky harris who is our district manager, he simply told us that the warranty was no longer in effect and we were responsible for all expenses. I mentioned the unfairness of the situation, his response was I should have taken it into the dealer for all of its maintenance and service recommendations. When I mentioned that we had all the maintenance and services recommended done through our small business local mechanic who by the way has more certificates and experience than his Nissan team he argued the fact. I shared how we will continue to support our local small business certified mechanic who pays for all of his expenses on his own to run his business unlike the Nissan team who work under the umbrella of the Nissan dealer, ricky again argued the fact. We have three Nissan vehicles all of which we are now selling and will never purchase another Nissan ever. Its a shame that Nissan does not stand by there products. I also read where they extended the warranty for the transmission of the frontier because of a radiator leak that mix with the transmission, instead of a recall on the problem. Please people lets band together and boycott all Nissan products. 22,000 miles seriously.

Maintained the vehicle with the dealership. Even performed the transmission flush a few months prior. Went to back the vehicle into the garage and there was not reverse. The truck would rev the engine and shake and at high rpm the vehicle would begin to slightly reverse. The next morning I took the truck into the dealership and the transmission was blown. As was the manifold (the manifold was covered by warranty, the transmission was no longer covered). At a little over 60,000 miles and not using the vehicle to tow why did the reverse (which was the only gear affected) and the transmission go out. This is an automatic transmission.

Right rear waterloo slipped and lost traction while under power. Left rear wheel caught traction and blew the spider gear out of the rear-end of the truck, rendering the vehicle disabled.

2008 Titan shift gear not responding, will not allow me to engage to lower gears (1-4). Stays on d only. The gear shifter button will not respond when the button is pressed. According to other Titan owners it appears to be a wiring harness as they have indicated the same problem, the wire breaks due to not enough slack in the wiring harness. Nissan service center stated that they will not honor the transmission warranty since I have 64000k miles on the vehicle.

Taking off from a stop sign the rear end broke and was undriveable. Putting in park did not prevent truck from rolling and had to be towed.

The left rear axle seal on my 2008 Nissan Titan began leaking with out me knowing it was happening. The grease was thrown onto the left rear tire over an undetermined period of time. The grease caused the rubber in the tire to soften and caused the tire to blow out while I was traveling @ 65 mph on the interstate. When the blow out occurred pieces of the tire beat the fender of the truck causing $1500 in body damage. I also had to have the axle seal replaced at a cost $400. From what I now understand rear axle seal failure is very common on the Titan trucks yet there have been no re-calls and/or no action by the NHTSA to demand this problem be corrected. With out this issue being public knowledge what happened to me could easily happen to others and have a more negative outcome than I did. Of course Nissan refused to compensate me for the damage even though they know this is and has been an on going defect in these vehicles.

2008 4x4 4d long bed titian , reverse gear stopped working right after power train warranty, ended at 36000 miles. I was using reverse when it failed. I was reversing at normal speed of . 25 mp/h or what ever people back up to a parking stall normally. There was a tug type sensation, then slippage.
