2004 Nissan Titan Complaint Log

FRONT AND REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKS. FIXED BY MECHANIC. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH BLOWN ENGINE DUE TO FUEL PUMP. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE DRIVEN DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. SHE STATES THAT THE CLOSEST DEALER IS IN CANADA AND THEY TOLD THEM THE FUEL PUMP FAILED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO BLOW. *KB

2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE REAR END IS ABOUT TO FAIL OR HAS FAILED. THERE SEEMS TO BE PLAY IN THE DRIVE LINE WHEN YOU ACCELERATE CAUSING A SLIGHT BUMP. NO THING HAS BEEN DONE AT THIS TIME. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 REAR DIFF FAILURE AT ABOUT 53K, WAS REPLACED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE THE NEW DIFF WAS PUT IN, NOISE AND THUMPING CAN BE HEARD AND FELT WHEN STOPPING AND GOING COMING FROM THE REAR. WHEN PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE FROM PARK YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL THE DRIVE SHAFT BANG WHEN IT GOES INTO GEAR, THERE IS TOO MUCH SLACK IN THE REAR AND THE DEALER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WHEN THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG. I FEEL THAT THE REAR WILL AGAIN FAIL. *TR

AFTER APPROX 38,000 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SEAL REQUIRED REPLACEMENT DUE TO EXCESSIVE LEAKAGE. AT 43,600 MILES THE REAR AXLE HAS FAILED, ONE MECHANIC THOUGHT IT WAS AS SIMPLE AS THE CLUTCH PLATES STICKING WHICH CAUSED THE REAR TIRES TO TURN THE SAME SPEED WHEN TURNING CAUSING THE INSIDE TIRE TO SPIN OUT. LOUD BANGING STARTED TO OCCUR ABOUT 60 MILES BEFORE TOTAL FAILURE, IN 40 MILE BEFORE, WHEN LEAVING A GAS STATION THE TRUCK HAD SHAKEN VIOLENTLY ON TAKE OFF THEN SUBSIDED AS ACCELERATION INCREASED. WITH ANY SMALL TURN, THE LOUD BANGING RETURNED. ON SHARP TURNS THE TRUCK SEEMED TO PULL IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, EVEN AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 20 MPH. I DECIDED TO PUT THE TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE, WHICH HELPED SOMEWHAT, PROBABLY TAKING SOME OF THE LOADING OFF THE REAR AXLE, BUT THE DRIVE WASN'T EASY. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT MY TITAN AND AFTER RAISING THE REAR END AND SPINNING THE TIRES HE SAID THE SPIDER GEAR WAS SHOT AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER 50 MILES AWAY, DROPPED THE TRUCK OFF BECAUSE THEY WERE CLOSED BUT DID HAVE THE CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EARLIER. THE SERVICE REP GUESSED THE REAR OF MY TRUCK BEFORE I COULD SAY ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY REAR AXLE. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY THE SERVICE REP CALLED ME AND SAID THE REAR AXLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, WHEN THE FIRST MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM, I NOTICED BOTH SEALS ON THE AXLE WERE LEAKING, THE DRIVER SIDE EXCESSIVELY. I USE MY TITAN FOR EVERYDAY COMMUTE AND OFTEN TOW MY 4,000 POUND TRAVEL TRAILER. WHEN TOWING AND TURNING SHARPLY, SOMETIMES THE INSIDE WHEEL WOULD SPIN OUT, I THOUGHT THIS MAY BE NORMAL BUT I GUESS WHEN UNDER LOAD THE DIFFERENTIAL DOES NOT RELEASE PROPERLY CAUSING THE SPIN. WHEN FINAL FAILURE OCCURRED, THE REAR END WOULD SLIP OR SKIP AS IF GEARS WERE MISSING. WHEN I PARKED THE TRUCK FOR THE LAST TIME IT HAD MOVED SEVERAL INCHES BACK UNTIL ANOTHER GEAR ENGAGED. *TR

RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING, FLUID LEAKING ONTO BRAKE ASSEMBLY; LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL SEEPING. SEALS HAD BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE. ALL PROBLEMS FIXED BY DEALER, BUT NISSAN SHOULD USE AN IMPROVED AXLE SEAL, AND A DIFFERENT AXLE VENT SYSTEM. THE VENT DOES NOT ALLOW AIR PRESSURE TO RETURN INTO THE AXLE HOUSING WHEN THERE IS A NEGATIVE PRESSURE SITUATION. A LONG VENT HOSE RUN UPWARDS IN THE BODY WITH A FILTER IS A SUGGESTED SOLUTION ON WWW.TITANTALK.COM, AND PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS AXLE SEAL FAILURES HAVE PERFORMED THIS FIX AND NO LONGER EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL ALL TITANS AND PATHFINDERS WITH THIS AXLE VENT SYSTEM AND REPAIR THE VENT WITH SOMETHING BETTER. UNTIL THIS IS PERFORMED, AXLE SEALS WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL AND FLUID WILL CONTINUE TO POTENTIALLY LEAK ONTO BRAKE ASSEMBLIES. *JB

I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER YET SINCE I JUST FOUND THIS PROBLEM BUT I AM AT 38,000 MI. JUST 2000 MI. OUT OF WARRANTY. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *JB

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED AROUND 55-65 IN HOUSTON TEXAS. A CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TO PUT THE BRAKES ON QUICKLY. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL MUSHED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR MAKING A GRINDING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE BARLEY SLOWED DOWN. I MADE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE BRAKES MADE AN LOUD GRINDING NOISE, AND LOST BRAKES COMPLETELY. WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED(WITH OUT GETTING HIT MY CARS) I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. I HAD TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND AS I SAT THERE I HEARD A NOISE UNDER THE DASH, LIKE SOMETHING RESET ITSELF. I START THE TRUCK UP AND MOVED SLOWLY FORWARD TO SEE IF I HAD BRAKES AND SUDDENLY THEY WERE WORKING AGAIN. THIS TRUCK HAS DONE THIS A MILLION TIMES AND IT IS JUST BY LUCK THAT I HAVE NO BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE BRAKES GO OUT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL AND NOTHING HE CAN DO WITHOUT A THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THEN HE ISN'T SURE IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM STUCK WITH THIS TRUCK AND IT CONTINUES TO LOOSE THE BRAKES. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE 2011. *TR

NISSAN REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO IT WOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *TR
