THEIR IS A CURRENT RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM FOR THE GAUGE READING INCORRECTLY AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY TRUCK IS HAVING THAT ISSUE, BUT MY VIN SHOWS NOT TO BE UNDER THAT RECALL. I AM ALSO HAVING ENGINE PROBLEMS THAT I ALSO BELIEVE TO BE DUE TO A FAILING FUEL PUMP OR POSSIBLY ONE OF THE OTHER MANY PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE PERFORMANCE ON THIS MODEL TITAN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM IS NOT COVERING MY VEHICLE , I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY NISSAN TITAN SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND ABSOLUTELY NO HELP FROM NISSAN TO FIX FAULTY PARTS, INCLUDING THE VALVE COVER THAT IF CLOGGED WILL ALLOW ENGINE OIL DOWN INTO THE VALVES AND CYLINDER AND CAUSE SMOKING PROBLEM, AND EVENTUALLY RUIN THE ENGINE CYLINDER. MY TITAN WILL NOT TAKE FUEL AND STARTS STALING OUT AT 2000 RPM CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BE IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS ALREADY. ALL VEHICLES WITH PARTS THAT ARE BEING RECALLED SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. NISSAN SHOULD'NT BE ABLE TO PIC AND CHOOSE WHO GETS COVERED, THEY SHOULD MAN UP AND FIX THEIR CHEAP PARTS WHEN THEY FAIL.

FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS, I'VE SPENT OVER $3,000 DIAGNOSING AND "FIXING" ERRONEOUS WARNING LIGHTS. THIS PAST WEEK, MY TRUCK (2005 TITAN) WOULD NOT START. THE FIRST TIME, IT JUST CRANKED THE STARTER, BUT WOULD NOT ENGAGE. NOW, I CAN TURN THE IGNITION TO START AND THE STARTER WON'T EVEN ENGAGE (NO "CLICKING" NOISE, NO NOISE WHATSOEVER). IT WILL START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, BUT I HAVE TO WAIT AT LEAST 2-3 MINUTES BETWEEN EACH ATTEMPT. I'VE REPLACED THE ECM (AT MY OWN EXPENSE) AND IT STILL DOES NOT START PROPERLY. IT APPEARS (FROM READING ONLINE POSTS IN TITAN FORUMS) THAT THE ISSUE IS THE IPDM (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE). THE SYMPTOMS ALL LINE UP. I FEEL LUCKY THAT MY ENGINE HAS NOT COMPLETELY STOPPED WHILE DRIVING (YET). THIS IS AN UTTER HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE BECAUSE NISSAN WILL NOT ADDRESS THE IPDM PROBLEM AND RECALL/REPLACE THOSE THAT ARE FAULTY.

THE IPDM (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE HAS FAILED FOUR TIMES ON THIS VEHICLE. WHEN FAILURE OCCURS THE VEHICLE WILL STALL, NOT CRANK,AND RUNS ROUGH.

2005 NISSAN TITAN 121K MILES. CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAUSING A EXHAUST LEAK. THERE IS A STRONG EXHAUST SMELL IN THE CAB WHEN TRAVELING AT SLOWER SPEEDS (UNDER 35MPH). IT HAS BEEN SO BAD AT TIMES IT MAKES YOU LIGHT HEADED AND SICK TO YOUR STOMACH. THIS COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO PASS OUT WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THEM TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE. DEFIANTLY A SAFETY HAZARD! ALSO CAUSING A DECREASE IN GAS MILEAGE AS WELL AS A LOUD KNOCKING/PUFFING NOISE UPON ACCELERATION. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FINDING 100'S IF NOT 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS! WHY HAS THIS NEVER BEEN RECALLED? THE SAFETY ISSUE ALONE SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL, ITS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY COMPONENT!

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE FAULTY AND CRACK ALLOWING DEADLY CARBON MONOXIDE EXHAUST GASES TO ENTER THE CAB OF THE TRUCK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. THIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS AND CRASH. IT WAS ONLY AFTER MY 6TH LONG ROAD TRIP (3+ HOURS DRIVING) DID I DISCOVER I WAS BEING POISONED BY CARBON MONOXIDE. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO AN EXHAUST REPAIR COMPANY AND AS SOON AS I MENTIONED MY VEHICLE THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME HE WAS 99% SURE I HAD A CRACKED MANIFOLD. HE LATER CONFIRMED THIS WITH A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH REVEALED BOTH MANIFOLDS CRACKED AND LEAKING EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE CAB. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED ME JUST SITTING IN A PARKING LOT! I THOUGHT I WAS JUST GETTING BAD HEADACHES FROM THE LONG DRIVE AND MY NAUSEA WAS FROM THE EXTREME HEADACHES. AFTER THIS HAPPENING SO MANY TIMES I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE MORE TO THIS. THINK ABOUT SOMEBODY DRIVING, BEING POISONED TO THE POINT TO WHERE THEY PULL OFF THE ROAD TO REST AND TRY TO SLEEP OFF THEIR HEADACHE IN A RUNNING VEHICLE TO STAY WARM AND END UP DYING. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS. I DON'T WANT A NEW DEFECTIVE MANIFOLD, I WANT A FIX!

I HAD MY WINDOWS UP AND MY CABIN AIR ON. THEN A FEW MIN LATER I STARTED FEELING DIZZY ALMOST FAINTING. THE CAR NEXT TO ME SAW THAT I WAS STRUGGLING, CAME TO MY WINDOW AND ASKED ME IF I WAS OK.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK STALLED AND LOST ALL POWER. AFTER GETTING TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY, THE TRUCK STILL HAD BATTERY POWER AND WANTED TO CRANK TO START BUT ACTED LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING GAS. AFTER CALLING AROUND WE DETERMINED THRU A NISSAN SERVICE ADVISOR THAT WE SHOULD TRY FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS, EVEN THOUGH I WAS TELLING HIM IT READ BETWEEN A QUARTER AND HALF A TANK. AFTER PUTTING IN 5 GALLONS AND TURNING THE KEY AND CRANKING IT A FEW SECONDS, IT STARTED RIGHT UP. IT HAS DONE THIS AT VARIOUS TIMES SINCE THIS FIRST OCCURRENCE AND CONTINUES TO VARY. I NOW HAVE TO KEEP NO LESS THAN HALF A TANK OF GAS AT ALL TIMES OR I WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND HAVE TO PULL OFF. NISSAN HAS A VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 2005-2009 ARMADA AND TITAN FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY, CAMPAIGN ID#R1010 & NHTSA#10V-074, BUT SAY THAT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKS. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON NISSAN TITANS ARE DEFECTIVE. IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT THE MAJORITY OF OWNERS OF TITANS HAVE, HAD OR WILL HAVE THE ISSUE OF A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS AN EXHAUST LEAK COULD INTRODUCE CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE CABIN AREA WITH IS LETHAL. THERE ARE FORUMS THAT THIS ISSUE IS DISCUSSED WELL IN DETAIL REQUIRING THE OWNER TO FOOT THE BILL FOR REPLACEMENT AT A PRICE AROUND $2500.00. IF YOU CONTACT NISSAN, THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS A DEFECT, EXCEPT IN REALITY THEY KNOW BECAUSE THEY HAVE MADE SUBSEQUENT CHANGES ON NEWER MODELS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR EARLIER MODELS. YOU WILL NOT KNOW IF CARBON MONOXIDE HAS ENTERED THE CABIN AND COULD KILL YOU IN MINUTES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED IN ORDER TO SAVE LIVES AND MAKE NISSAN RESPONSIBLE FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. THIS APPLIES NOT ONLY TO TITANS, BUT ARMADAS AS WELL. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD DEVELOPED A CRACK AND LEAKS EXHAUST FUMES.

AFTER HAVING IPDM MODULE REPLACED (CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V517000), THE SES LIGHT SHOWED BAD CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES. THE IPDM MODULE FAILED BEFORE BEING REPLACED AND IT CAUSED RAW FUEL TO BE DUMPED ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WHICH CAUSED THEM TO FAIL. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF FAILED CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WHEN THEIR FAULTY PART CAUSED THE DAMAGE. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR ($2,800). AFTER LOOKING AT FORUMS ON THE INTERNET, I SEE MANY PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TITAN CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND HAVING THEM FAIL BEFORE THE VEHICLE REACHES 100K MILES. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIR. THEY SAID THE FAULTY IPDM WOULD NOT CAUSE CATS TO FAIL. *TR

TRUCK IN MID 50'S RANDOMLY STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND WILL NOT RESTART. ALL SYMPTOMS IDENTICAL TO EVERY OTHER OF THE MANY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF ECM/IPDM FAILURE. NISSAN CLAIMS RELAY FOR RECALL WAS CHANGED IN 2011, THAT WE HAVE NO OPEN RECALL AND NO OTHER RECOURSE OTHER THAN TO CALL NISSAN AMERICA--EVEN FOR JUST A REPLACEMENT RELAY THAT COSTS THEM PENNIES. NISSAN AMERICA SAYS THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP MUST RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THESE HUGE TRUCKS ARE STALLING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED MY LOCAL DEALER TO CHECK FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THEY KEPT MY TRUCK FOR A WEEK AND CHANGED THE BATTERY TERMINALS--FOR $400 INSTEAD OF CHECKING THE $4.00 RELAY. THAT'S RETAIL--IT COSTS THEM ABOUT A QUARTER. EVEN WITH THE .3 HOURS OF LABOR, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER $90 FOR ME AT FULL RETAIL. INSTEAD, I STALLED AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEED 3 WEEKS LATER. I DO NOT BELIEVE FOR A MINUTE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NO DEATHS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. HOW HAS THERE NOT BEEN A FULL INVESTIGATION AND NEWS REPORTS OF THIS FREQUENTLY REPORTED PROBLEM? *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK HOME FROM WORK,I NOTICED THE SOUND OF THE EXHAUST BECAME PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER. I PARKED THE TRUCK FOR THE NIGHT. PRIOR TO LEAVING THE NEXT MORNING I TRIED TO LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE INCREASED NOISE. HOWEVER, I NOTICED AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE THE NOISED WOULD DECREASE. THEREFORE, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. HE TOLD ME THAT THE HEADER ON ONE SIDE IS CRACKED AND THE OTHER HEADER ON THE OTHER-SIDE SHOWS SIGNS OF STRESS. ALSO, HE EXPLAINED THIS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN TITAN AND I MIGHT WANT TO EXPLORE MY REPAIR OPTION WITH THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, AFTER DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE NOTORIOUS ISSUE AND THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. UPON HEARING THIS, I DECIDE I WOULD LODGE MY COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE HERE. *TR

GOT IN MY TRUCK TO GO TO WORK TODAY AND WHILE TURNING RIGHT OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND I WAS GOING NO WHERE. I LET OFF THE GAS AND AS THE MOTOR RPM CAME DOWN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND THE VEHICLE JUMPED FORWARD. CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 200FT AND TURNED AROUND. PARKED THE TRUCK. CHECKED THE FLUID. METAL SHAVINGS AND CHUNKS INSIDE WITH PLENTY OF FLUID. ALSO NOTICED A LEAKING REAR WHEEL SEAL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 78000 MILES ON IT. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE NISSAN. *TR
