| 2004 nissan titan 55,000 miles..rear seal leaking fluid, dealer said it was a poorly made axle and had to be replaced. this is a wide spread problem as i have read complaints on the internet. cost $822...lost traction on the front wheels yesterday morning during snow storm. took it to the dealer this morning. mechanic said we were lucky the wheel didn't come off on the drive there. lots of titan owners saying defect on front axle also...truck is still in the shop and they want $1,100 to replace this axle and ground up pinion or something to that effect. we have also had this truck in the shop to fix 3 other safety recalls. would appreciate any help you can give us. do not understand why nissan is not being held responsible for this defect. | |||

| The front passenger airbag lights shows the airbag is consistently off, which would indicate to me that the front passenger airbag is not activated or the sensor in the seat is defective. this occurs with every passenger, including a male weighing 250 lbs. | |||

| I have taken my truck in twice now for the brakes and the carpet being soaking wet from the truck leaking somewhereand the passenger airbag light not turning off. they resurfaced my brakes and said the leak was from the a/c. they also told us about the brake problem with the 2004 titans and that they would put us on a waiting list for the replacement parts. we are now taking it in again for the same problems. the floor is soaking wet and we have not ran the a/c. the brakes are shaking violently again, and not to mention the new problem of the cargo light turning on by itself when it is parked. i only have about 8300 miles on my truck and i only drive 5 miles one way to work. these are major problems that are occuring in such short time of having the truck. | |||

| I have a consistently reproducible problem with the seat belt sensor for the passenger seat. 150 pound individual sitting in the passenger seat fails to engage the air bag (it is indicating that the air bag is off) about one-third of the time they ride in the vehicle. by moving in the seat and sliding forward, the sensor registers the individual and engages the air bag (shutting off the air bag is off light). | |||

| My 120lb wife does not activate the seat sensor for the airbag in my 04 nissan titan. while it doesn't happen 100% of the time, it has occurred repeatedly. the dealer checked & confirmed that the system is operating normally and stated that they could do nothing more. at this point my wife is riding in our truck without an airbag. while she does wear a seatbelt, i would like to have the comfort of knowing the full safety system is operational in the event of an accident. research and other complaints posted here show taht this is not an isolated problem. *mr | |||

| No crashes or injuries. the advanced airbag system on our 2004 nissan titan disables passenger airbag when a 132 pound female is properly seated in the passenger seat.*ak we have been able to duplicate this problem in every 2004 nissan titan at a local dealer's lot. *ak our dealer states 125 pounds on the seat sensor itself is necessary to enable the airbag, claimed there was nothing wrong and refused to run any diagnostics on the system. the nissan website claims 47 pounds, consumer affairs states 60 pounds is necessary to enable the advanced airbag. it is unclear if this is pounds of pressure exerted on the seat sensor itself, or if a person of this physical weight, seated properly, would have an airbag. my 132 pound wife is exerting about 110 pounds of weight on the seat itself. | |||

| The side air bags of my 2004 nissan titan deployed as i was driving. there was no impact, i was driving approximately 30mph on a asphalt surfaced road when the air bags just deployed. luckily i was only going 30mph so i did not crash. nissan has been contacted but it seems that they're going out of their way to try an prove that this vehicle was in a wreck. the car has never been wrecked and has a clean carfax as well as an autocheck. *tr | |||
