The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the rear end of the vehicle when the vehicle drove over into an object on the roadway. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the rear subframe needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

The rear drivers side shackle blew apart resulting in the spring almost breaking though the bed metal. Had this happened at higher speed on a curve I feel the outcome would have been much more negative. I take exceptional care of my truck and do not exceed recommended loads or towing limits. I've owned seven different trucks in my lifetime and have never had any incident like this happen. I think Nissan needs to take a good, hard look at the type of materials and design involved in this bracket, as it should never have broken on a 3 year old truck, driven on-road with 58,000 miles on it. I find this to be extremely dangerous.

I have complained to the dealership, since day one that my truck had handling issues. That my rear axle was off center and the vehicle was not tracking straight. Their answer was an alignment about 20 of them. Bad tires, my driving, etc. Not their perfect truck. After 2 1/2 years of fighting Nissan they sent my truck to a frame shop. The rear of the frame from the ft spring hangers tp the rear is bowed upwards. Putting my springs in a bind and causing the rear axle to be out of line. Causing the erratic handing. If you have a Titan which seems to have an offset rear axle have the frame checked by computer. Though the frame may be straight, the rear of it may be bowed horizontally, causing problems. I took my truck to a frame shop 2 yrs ago and told them the frame was not right. I guess after thinking there was no way my frame was bent they allowed me to take it to the frame shop. Ha! ha! on them may frame was bowed has been so since day one. Hopefully the lawyer can get me out of the truck.

Vehicle has had erratic handling/steering since day one. Has been in dealership for problem 7 times. They say no problem brought to independent alignment shops and frame shop. They determined that rear axle was off center therefore causing the tracking to be off and preventing a proper alignment and causing erratic steering and having to constantly correct the steering wheel while driving.
