NHTSA Complaint #10508605 — 2005 NISSAN TITAN

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
