The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. While driving approximately 30 mph, the contact attempted to accelerate but the vehicle hesistated and jerked before accelerating. The vehicle was parked. When the contact examined the vehicle, he noticed that the transmission fluid was mixing with the radiator coolant. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that there was an internal crack that caused the mixing. The vehicle had not been repaired. The current and failure mileages were 51,200. The VIN was unavailable.

Discovered leak in the rear axle seal.

Sept 27 2010 traveling home from w. V from camping. We was on I - 77 s bound at mile maker 10 in fancy gap. We smelled something funny. I looked at my right mirror and saw white gray smoke coming out of the back of my 2004 Nissan Titan truck. I pulled over and when I put my foot on the brake I had none, due from the heat of the fire, I got out and saw my drivers side under the fender on fire. I had transmission fluid everywhere. Transmission fluid had sprayed on the manifold and caught fire, then the gas line ruptured. I had a transmission fluid and gas fire. Thank god I had a fire extinguisher as well as another man stop to help put it out, it took two fire extinguisher to put the fire out, one wasn't enough. We could have been killed but I was told that the reason why my truck didn't blow up was because I had a full tank of gas. Well I took my truck into Nissan and they told me that I had a rupture in my transmission line and that it was a defective, faulty line. I find out later that they had a technical bulletin out on the 2004-2005 armada and Titan dated Aug 1 2005. I had my truck in for a transmission flush 45 days before this happened and no one told me about the bulletin. No one asked me if I would like to replace my lines and clamps. I didn't know anything about this bulletin until Wednesday night when I did research. If they had told me about this, this could have been prevented. Nissan knows about this and I am trying to work with them. I hope they do the right thing about fixing my truck and paying my tow bills. The weird thing is I tried to get the va state troop to do a report and he said they don't do that anymore.

Brought Nissan Titan to mechanic to have brakes checked. Upon replacement of brakes found that the rear seal had failed and grease had covered the right wheel well and tire rim. Seals and bearing had to be replaced.

I own a 2005 Nissan Titan that has had the rear end diff and axle replaced twice by Nissan at 98,000 miles Nissan discovered the rear seals leaking, and did nothing about it, I tried to secure a lawyer, the cost was astronomical, at 102,000 miles the valve body in the trans has failed, as a result I contacted Nissan north America spoke to gordon middleton, whom on behalf of nna after a sixweek discovery advised me that nna would not be able to assist me, even after promising repairing the rear seal in earlier conversation, later refused to lift a hand, costing me six weeks of car rental cost, and the agonizing pain of waiting on a decision that would never come anyway. Please assist me in this matter my 2005 Nissan Titan le is still not fixed.

2004 Nissan Titan rear axle seal leaks left and right.

2004 Nissan Titan - rear axle seals leaking. In shop- waiting for repairs. I understand that this is a commaon failure for this truck and that repairs most likely will not take care of the problem as it appears that it will probably occur again. Need recall to correct this problem as brakes may fail. Do we need what happened to Toyota to happen to Nissan to get results ? ? ?.

The transmission cannot be downshifted. I was towing a large boat and limited to 10mph speed and was unable to downshift the engine.

While performing a tire rotation, it was noticed that the passenger side rear axle seal was leaking.

Park - ignition interlock is defective and allows the key to be removed from the ignition without the vehicle being in park. This potentially allows the vehicle to roll away and cause damage or injury.

Manual shift button does not work on Nissan Titan.

Power train went needed to be replaced. Only 27,000 miles on car. Seals needed to be replaced after new power trained installed.

While driving, my Nissan Titan began to accelerate out of control. I applied the brakes but the motor was too strong. I put the transmission into neutral and the motor redlined and I immediately turned the motor off. The local Nissan dealership says their computer does not find anything wrong. I am worried to put my family in this vehicle or let my wife drive it.

Rear axel failure in Nissan Titan. Drivers side seal went out at 70k miles.

Transmission cooler line leaks due to poor factory clamps. This has been reported on many other fellow Titan owners. I had to pay the dealership to fix this since the truck is not out of warranty.

4 wheel drive control unit bad, 4x4 won't engage the units is defective that Nissan has it in backorder nationally.

Nissan failed to replace a transmission under the 60k powertrain warranty. The truck is currently at 56k miles, and has been out of use since November 11th. The vehicle falls under the north carolina lemon law: as with other lemon laws, it is required that automobile manufacturers repurchase or replace a vehicle that has not been properly repaired within a "reasonable number of attempts". In north carolina, this reasonable number is four attempts or if the car has been out of service waiting repair for a cumulative total of 20 or more business days during any 12-month period of the warranty. It has been out since November 11th, and they still want me to pay for the cost of the transmission when they should cover it no questions asked.

I had an accident in my 2006 Nissan Titan in July 08. I was pulling into a parking spot when the engine roared the truck quickly moved forward and I was unable to stop the truck. The only thing that stopped the truck was a cement spindle fence. I destroyed 10 feet of fence and my insurance had to pay for the damages. I took the truck to Nissan and they checked it, but they stated they were unable to duplicate the problem, they then performed the 30000 mile maintenance for approx $600. The Nissan service person told me that I must have pushed the gas and the brake at the same time to cause the accident. I then took the truck to an open field and pushed the brake and the gas pedal at the same time and the tires just spun and the truck did not move. I tried the same thing in an empty parking lot, the tires spun and the truck did not move. I ended up getting rid of the truck because I was afraid if the truck sped forward on its own again and I could not stop it I might get hurt or killed. I believe that there is some type of defect that caused the engine to roar and cause the truck to speed forward. I filed a police/accident report with the local police.

Left stop light turn corner and the rear end of our 2004 Nissan titian locked up. Cost to us was $5,000. 00 for repairs.

Rear end of truck gave out.

Truck became stuck in a muddy ditch, used 4 wheel drive to get out of the ditch. After pulling out of ditch truck was turned off with truck in 4 wheel drive. In an attempt to get out of the ditch the truck did spin, but not excessively. When truck was restarted, there was a warning on the instrument panel. Truck would not go forward, but would go in reverse. Had truck towed to dealership for repair. Although the truck is still under complete warranty, the dealer refused to repair the transmission under warranty stating that the transmission was burned up and that the truck had been abused because there was mud on the truck.

To the best of my knowledge the manual shift button simply stopped working. It fails to engage the manual shifting mode for the vehicle transmission which causes excessive rpm in the 4-wheel drive low configuration. A local Nissan service dealer reviewed the issue and offered a fix that was not guaranteed to alleviate the problem. The initial fix was estimated to be approximately $500.

My truck is equipped with vehicle dynamic control (vdc). It cuts power to the drive wheels if one or both start to spin. All trucks or cars of its kind have been equipped with a switch that this device can be turned on or off depending on the drivers situation. For some reason my truck did not come with this switch, I am a sitting duck when it rains if one tire so much as slips one revolution as I can mash the gas pedal and nothing will happen. In 4x4 it does the same thing and only in 4x4 lo will this vdc turn itself off. I have asked dealers many of times to fix this as it should have came with this option and was somehow missed. I want it fixed as I have almost been rear ended at least a dozen times b/c of this.

(1)rear end brakes no movement while driving (2)fortunately incident happened at night with not a lot of traffic and no accident happened, however if this happened during the day it could have caused a major accident. The vehicles rear end, driving force, failed causing the vehicle to stop while driving and roll backwards while gas pedal is pressed. (3)vehicle was put into 4hi to get home, this occured Saturday night, have to wait till Monday to have vehicle towed to Nissan dealership.

The vehicle the atsc light came on and it lost power. The consumer pulled over to the side of the road, waited for 2 minutes and the computer restarted. The transmission just seemed to to slow down. The dealer found no defects and could not duplicate the problem. The vehicle also smelled of antifreeze, and the switch from high beam to low beam turns all the lights off.

Multiple brake and steering shudder problems with 2004 Titan Nissan se crew cab truck, dealer makes mfg suggested repairs but shudder returns creating safety worries and fear of losing control of vehicle. Moreover, transmission coolant line replaced wherein dealer informs me that blowout could lead to failure. Front tires excessive wear, vibration and shudder with or without brake application. Headlight switch design flawed, easily turned off when turn stalk activated or lights are dimmed from high to low beam. All the above problems occured and still are occuring within first 3500 miles!!.

We purchased a truck from Nissan in October of 2004. It has been in the shop many times and in December of 2004, it was there over 30 days. The transmission and the rear end have both gone out, windows don't roll up and down correctly, rattling in the cab where the visor and garage door openers are held. The brake, vdc, tow, and abs switch stay on all the time. The brakes are going out and the whole truck shimmies. Now in addition to the transmission being replaced once, it's slipping again. Nissan stated they would pay for the rental on the 30 days, but that was a lie. They socked me with an $283. 00 bill. $181. 00 was to fill up the tank with gas!!!!!!! there are also missing valves on the tires they themsleves took off and didn't replace and the alarm goes off by itself when no one is around. Give me a break. . . Nissan states this does not qualify for the lemon law. I need help in this situation.

When putting the vehicle into reverse the transmission engaged into neutral without warning. The dealer stated they could not duplicate the problem. Please provide additional information.

Titan with full mfg tow package purchased to tow travel trailer. Titan rated by dealer & mfg to tow 9,400 lbs and gvwr at 14,600 lbs. When towing 8,000 lbs (gvw was 13,500) at 50 mph on flat road, no wind, approx 85 deg f transmission temp rose into danger zone. Weights were confirmed at certified scale. Vehicle taken to dealer with description of problem. Dealer said nothing was wrong with vehicle but tow was too heavy. Mfg agreed with dealer that tow was too heavy after consulting with their engineers. Neither could explain how 8,000 lbs was heavier than 9,600 lbs. Mfg asked if I would agree to a test drive. I agreed but dealer was non responsive and not available. Nothing was done and we were forced to trade trailer for lower weight trailer. We had the same problem in July 2004 on a hill with 6,340 lb (gvw 12,140) tow. I advised mgf again and they refused to do anything.
