2005 NISSAN TITAN Engine Problems

CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS BOTH SIDES. NOTICED IT AROUND 60000 MILES. VEHICLE PURCHASED FROM DENNIS DILLON NISSAN BOISE IDAHO. DEALER HAS BEEN NO HELP AS OF YET EVEN THOUGH THE CATALYTIC SYSTEM HAS A 8/80 WARRANTY . *TR

PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE DEFECTIVE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS FOR THE NISSAN TITANS. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A WARRANTY UP TO 80000 MILES BUT MY TRUCK IS OVER THAT MILEAGE. THIS IS A KNOWN FACTORY DEFECT THAT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO EXHAUST LEAKAGE. *TR

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...

LOUD EXHAUST SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT, ON BOTH SIDES FOR THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. DUE TO A CRACKED MANIFOLD. I COULD ALSO SMELL EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE. I KEEP THE WINDOW CRACKED OPEN WHEN I DRIVE FOR SAFETY REASONS, MOSTLY WHEN I HAVE MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

RADIATOR BEGAN LEAKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CRACKS/SEPARATION OF PLASTIC COMPONENTS. *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....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF RADIATOR FLUID INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. HE ALSO NOTICED A CONSTANT LEAK OF FLUID FROM THE RADIATOR WHICH FORMED A LARGE PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THREE TIMES WHERE THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED EACH TIME. MOST RECENT THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE.

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
