2004 NISSAN TITAN VIN [XXX] AT 90K MILES THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKED ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. NISSAN COVERS THIS UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 80K MILES FOR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE TRUCK HAS HAD NO MODIFICATION AND WILL NOT PASS STATE EMISSIONS AND GETS HORRIBLE GAS MILEAGE DUE TO THIS. NOW AT 104 K I HAVE VISITED MULTIPLE DEALERS AND THEY AGREE THIS IS COMMON ISSUE WITH THE TITAN'S AND THE CRACK WILL MAKE A 5 YEAR OLD TRUCK NOT PASS STATE EMISSIONS. TO REPLACE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WITH STOCK PARTS IS $1200; WHICH FRUSTRATES ME SINCE THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN WHICH CAUSES THE MANIFOLDS TO MOVE DIFFERENTLY THEN THE ENGINE MOUNTS ALLOW THE ENGINE TO.

COST TO FIX OVER $3,000. AFTER PAYING HEFTY BILL SHOP MANAGER SAID THIS WAS THE 5TH TITAN IN OUR SMALL TOWN HE HAD SAME ISSUE WITH AND THAT HE AGREES THIS IS THE WORST PLACE FOR A UNIT ON A TRUCK AND MANUFACTURER SHOULD OF PUT OTHER LOCATION. I THEN FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THEY ACTED LIKE THEY CARED AND THEN 3 WEEKS LATER THEY DENIED HELPING ME AT ALL SAYING IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY.

AFTER LEAVING THE REPAIR SHOP, I CALLED TWO NISSAN DEALERS AND BOTH SAID THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE A RECALL THAT NISSAN HAD PLANNED FOR EARLY DEC 2010. ONE OF THEM SUGGESTED THAT I HAVE THE REPAIR SHOP RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TO SEE IF ANYTHING SHOWED AS A PROBLEM. IF NOTHING SHOWED THEN IT WAS PROBABLY RELATED TO THE SCHEDULED RECALL. I CONTACTED THE REPAIR SHOP AND RELAYED THE INFO. AFTER RUNNING THE DIAGNOSTIC, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO WARNINGS. I HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS ABOUT DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH AN ENGINE THAT WILL JUST CUT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WHEN I ASKED THE TWO DEALERS WHAT COULD BE DONE, I WAS TOLD NOT MUCH SINCE THE RECALL ISN'T DUE TO GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL DEC AND THAT THEY (THE DEALERS) HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED TO NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL DEC.

I CONTINUALLY SEE PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ISSUE ON INTERNET FORUMS. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART. THE LEAK IS ALSO HAZARDOUS TO THE ENVIRONMENT. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE EPA AS WELL. *TR

THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH APPROX. 36,000 MILES OF USE ON THE VEHICLE. ON SEVERAL USES I HEARD 'CLUNKING' NOISES FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. ON THE LAST TIME BEFORE TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE 'CLUNKING' NOISE WAS LIKE A GRINDING NOISE ALSO. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS PART IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT PART OF THE VEHICLES ABILITY TO OPERATE SAFELY. THIS PART FAILED WITH ONLY 36,000 MILES ON IT. CLEARLY IT IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND ACTION TO FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURIES TO OTHERS IS REQUIRED. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE RADIATOR HAD FAILED AND REPLACED IT WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION. WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT THIS THE DEALER STATED IT WAS A CRACK IN THE SEAM. *TR

Mileage: 36,000

DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, ENGINE JUST STOPPED. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD. NISSAN DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS FAILED IPDM (INTERGRATED POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE). NEW PART SEEMS TO HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM. DEALERS MECHANIC SAID THE FACTORY TOLD HIM THEY HAD EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THESE PARTS. IT'S VERY UNNERVING TO HAVE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF ON A BUSY 6 LANE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE IS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN IN APRIL 2010, I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON MAY 6, 2010 AND WAS TOLD MY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE LEAKING. THE WARRANTY IS 8 YR/ 80K, I HAVE 82K ON MY TITAN. THE EXHAUST FUMES LEAK INTO THE CAB CAUSING NAUSEA AND DIZZINESS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER WON'T REPLACE THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. THE REPLACEMENT COST IS $2000.00. *TR

Mileage: 82,200

EXHAUST MANIFOLD WARPS AFTER ABOUT 80K MILES, CREATING AN EXHAUST LEAK. IF IT DEVELOPS BEFORE THE 80K MILE EMISSIONS WARRANTY, IT WILL BE COVERED. MOST DEVELOP AFTER THE WARRANTY. I OWN AN '04 AND AN '05 NISSAN TITAN. THE '05 EXHAUST LEAK WAS FIXED AT 78K MILES WITH 1 NEW EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND SOME CROSSOVER PIPING. THE '04 STARTED AT 88K MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT HELPED WITH THE PROBLEM WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ESTIMATING $1300 TO REPAIR. *TR

Mileage: 90,000

HEARD EXHAUST LEAK IN ENGINE AT ABOUT 85,000 MILES. MANIFOLD LEAK WAS CONFIRMED AT 101,000 WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. REVIEWED MANY TECHNICAL FORUMS WHERE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS BEING REPORTED AS CRACKED ON COUNTLESS TITANS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, AND THE COST SHOULD NOT BE RELAYED TO THE CONSUMER AT A SIGNIFICANT DOLLAR AMOUNT. *TR

I HAVE AN '04 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB TRUCK. IN EARLIER PART OF '09, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY, MY ENGINE STALLED AND WENT OUT. BASICALLY I WAS JUST ROLLING ON THE HWY UNAWARE THAT THE ENGINE WENT OUT. I REALIZED MY ENGINE WENT OUT WHEN I COULDN'T ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE, AND MY STEERING WAS DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START AFTER THAT. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WOULD CRANK, BUT WOULDN'T TURN, AND AS IF IT WASN'T GETTING FUEL. SEVERAL MECHANICS COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE UNTIL, I LATER LEARNED BY READING UP ON NISSAN FORUM ONLINE, OF SIMILAR CASES, THAT IT WAS AN IPDM FAILURE. I REPLACED THIS PART AND IT WORKED AGAIN. NOW, ITS JAN. 2010, AND IT WENT OUT ON ME AGAIN. THIS TIME, LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HWY, I WAS PARKED AND THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR DIFF SEALS LEAK AND HAS CAUSED A BRAKE FAILURE. I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY REAR END LOCKS UP. IT TOOK A FEW MOMENTS TO GET HER GOING AGAIN IN REVERSE. I JACKED IT UP AND REMOVED THE TIRES AND REMOVED THE ROTORS. THE PAD ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM FAIL OFF. IT STILL HAD PLENTY OF PAD LEFT ON IT. MY FATHER LOOKED AT IT AND NOTICED THE FLUID LEAKING FROM MY REAR END. HE TOLD ME THAT PROBABLY CAUSED THE FAILURE DUE TO THE CONTAMINATION. REPLACED THE PAD AND ADDED SOME OILED TO THE REAR END. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND OTHER BRAKE FAILURES ALSO. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKS ALSO. I AM REPLACING IT TOO. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TITANS. THIS MAY BE OF MORE CONCERN WITH THE EPA. THEY HAVE BEEN KNOW TO CRACK. *TR

TL*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.

ONLY 65,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND NO MODIFICATIONS. RIGHT REAR SEAL LEAKING, PINION SEAL IS SHOT AND FRONT LEFT AXLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. NOTHING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

I HAVE HAD AN ODD EXHAUST SOUND FROM MY NISSAN TITAN FOR OVER 18 MONTHS. WHEN I FINALLY TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED AND REPAIRS COST $1400.00. I WAS TOLD A THE DEALER AND AT SEVERAL MUFFLER SHOPS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT DUE THE CAST NATURE OF THE MANIFOLD AND THE EXCESSIVE WEIGHT OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WELDED ONTO THE MANIFOLD. THE REPLACEMENT PART WERE A NEW DESIGN AND THE DEALER SAID THEY WILL NOT CRACK. SINCE MY TRUCK HAD 105,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE SERVICE WAS DONE THERE IS NO WARRANTY COVERAGE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE 2004 AND 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUPS AND THE COST OF REPAIRS SHOULD BE BORNE BY NISSAN AND NOT BY THE CONSUMER. I AM HOPING THAT THERE WILL BE A CLASS ACTION SUITE FILED ON THE CONSUMER'S BEHALF EITHER BY AN INDIVIDUAL, THE STATE OR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. *TR

THE VEHICLE ( A 2004 NISSAN TITAN) HAS 30 THOUSAND PLUS MILES,CAREFULLY MAINTAINED (NO SALT) AND WAS PULLING A 7500 POUND BOAT ON PA I-79 WHEN IT LOST ALL POWER,INCLUDING ALL LIGHTS (INCLUDING REAR AND HAZARD) .THIS RESULTED IN A FIRE WHICH TOTALLY DISABLED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. THE TAIL PIPE HAD FALLEN OFF AND BURNED DOZENS OF ELECTRICAL WIRES. THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES ON THE NET AND TO DEALERS. IT SHOULD STRONGLY BE NOTED THAT HAD THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED ON NY I-90 WHERE THERE IS NO SAFE PLACE TO PULL OFF OR AT NIGHT ANYWHERE, MANY LIVES WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST. THIS DEFECT MUST RECEIVE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT OR PAY FOR REPAIRS. *TR

THE TAILPIPE FELL OFF OF MY TRUCK. RESULTING IN THE HOT EXHAUST TO BE VENTED ONTO A REAR WIRING HARNESS AND THUS MELTING IT. ALONG WITH THE MELTED WIRING HARNESSES, THE ECM AND MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR WERE SHORTED OUT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS WILL BE OVER $2000 TO FIX AND WILL BE PAID FOR STRAIGHT OUT OF MY POCKET. THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER EXHAUST BECAUSE IT SUPPOSEDLY IS A REGULARLY MAINTAINED PART. THIS TRUCK IS A 2WD MODEL WITH 305/50X20 WHEELS/TIRES , SO IT OBVIOUSLY IS NOT USED FOR OFF-ROAD PURPOSES NOR HAS IT BEEN USED TO TOW ANYTHING. WHEN THE TAILPIPE BROKE, THE TRUCK WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN A SMOOTH BLACK TOP HIGHWAY AND NOTHING WAS RAN OVER IN THE ROAD SUCH AS AN ANIMAL OR DEBRIS THAT WOULD CAUSE THE TAILPIPE TO FALL OFF.
