The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. While driving approximately 5 mph on normal road conditions, the exhaust tail pipe was damaged due to an unknown obstacle on the road surface. The vehicle resumed normal operation. In addition, whenever the driver's side door was opened, the parking light activated without assistance and the driver's side turn signal was nonfunctional. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection and they stated that the tail pipe disengagement contributed to the melting of the wiring harness. The vehicle is operable and has not been repaired. The manufacturer did not assist. The failure and current mileages were 65,000.

Column shifter causes damage to wiring harness of the manual mode transmission button. When shifting vehicle into drive, column hits wiring harness, and over time causes wiring to the transmission manual mode button to break. Once this breaks, there is no means to down shift vehicle, causing a hazard especially when traveling roads where there are elevation changes. Was able to determine the cause of the manual mode button failure by researching Nissan Titan forums (club Titan and Titan talk). Upon removing steering column shroud immediately noticed chaffing of the wiring harness, and the broken wire. Contacted Nissan, Nissan was not concerned with this issue due to the age (currently 3 years) of the vehicle.

On 6/20/2008 I went to a Nissan dealership to resolve a recall item to replace rear door wiring harness, recall # r0616. The recall was performed and in the process the dealership also replaced lh-pretensioner, seatbelt and body harness, and reset airbag warning light. On 6/03/2013, the airbag warning light came on and I went to a nearby Nissan dealership and was advised that I would have to replace the lh-pretensioner, seatbelt and body harness, I informed the service advisor that this work was already accomplished once and that I had the documents if he needed them. The service advisor then stated that since the work was accomplished five years ago that even though the parts are a safety item that they were no longer under warranty, resulting in a 574. 30 charge of which I paid. My contention is that this is a safety item, and thus should not have a warranty restriction, I am not sure if the truck is even safe to drive.

A 7 way trailer plug adapter was plugged upside down into a 2007 Nissan Titans receptacle socket and it caused the chassis wiring harness, the engine wiring harness and the main wiring harness to all melt down. Other electrical components are also probably damaged. It would appear that there was not a properly designed circuit to limit the damage to the electrical system or it malfunctioned. Although the vehicle did not catch fire, the plastic coating on the wiring was melted down, the plug adapter was very hot and it potentially could have resulted in a fire if the plug would have been left in long enough. It is suggested that this defect be investigated by Nissan.

On April 16, 2007 thenissan Titan' driver side rear door caught on fire. There was nothing in the door pocket that could have ignited, just a bottle of water, and the keys were out of the ignition. The fire appeared to have started around the speaker area and spread to the rest of the door panel. I got the fire put out before it spread to the rest of the truck, but the rear seat and door were destroyed.

The failure mileage was 30,000.

Clayton county fire department engine 8b responded to a possible vehicle fire. When engine 8b arrived and investigated the situation they discovered the fire was out. The fire was put out by occupant with a water hose. The occupant advised he was in his garage and looked out and saw smoke inside the vehicle in his driveway. The occupant advised the drivers seat was on fire and the fire started under the seat where the power seat controls are. The occupant also advised he had electrical problems prior to the fire. As a point of reference our incident report # 06-0001118.

The vdc [vehicle dynamic control] kept shutting off. This is a safety feature to regulate motion and speed of the 4 wheels. The vdc would not turn back on with the vdc dash button. The dealer stated the rear differential bearings had failed and the Titan was unsafe to drive. It's been at the dealer waiting for a new rear differential for 2 weeks. The truck was not delivered with the power folding - auto dim exterior mirrors; the xm radios did not work; bed extender not installed; gas tank wasn't full as promised.
