| 07E046000 | HOPKINS MANUFACTURING CORP. | E (Equipment) | 3500 | 08/17/2007 | MFR | NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. | 07/03/2007 | 07/06/2007 | ||||||||
| Defect Summary | Certain hopkins aftermarket trailer brake control connection harnesses sold for use on certain models of nissan vehicles which are listed above. the internal part numbers within hopkins are: 1010476025, 1040376025, 1110476025, 1170376025, 1290376025, 1010476035, 1040376035, 1110476035, 1170376035, and 1290376035. a wire may have been placed in an incorrect position in the electrical connector housing. this results in an incorrect routing of wires between the trailer brake controller and the towing vehicle wiring system. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | This harness would result in power from the trailer brake controller going to the towing vehicle dash light circuit rather than the trailer brakes. this result would be the lack of trailer braking when the towing vehicle brakes were applied. it would also result in the towing vehicles dash lights being activated when the vehicle brakes were applied. the failure of the application of the trailer brake could result in reduced ability to stop and contribute to a possible crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Hopkins will notify owners and replace the original harness with a revised harness free of charge. the recall began august 17, 2007. owners can contact hopkins at 800-835-0129. | |||||||||||||||

| Rear axle seal failure. oil leaked all over my brakes causing the brakes to not function properly. truck is a 2004 with 69,000 miles, so it is not covered under any warranties. nissan needs to address this issue as it is a valid safety concern. | |||

| I have a 2004 titan crew cab 4x4 with 61,000 miles. april of 2009 i checked my air conditioner and found it not to be cooling. i took it in the my local dealership who informed me i had a leak in the high pressure ac hose. charges for repair $450.00. ok no problem. in the following month of may after returning from a trip i found oil below the right axel. again i took it to my dealership. i was informed that the high pressure hose for the transmission and the high pressure hose for the power steering was both leaking. the mechanic informed me that the hose brackets on that model were bad and that along with new hoses he put on the new type of brackets. he didn't say why the hoses leaked other than you know the truck is five years old. by the way the cost for that repair $859.00. so in the span of 30 days i have spent over $1300.00 to have all of the high pressure hoses replaced. i have never had to replace hoses like this on any vehicle i've ever owned and some i kept for up to ten years. is it the hoses that are sub-standard or is it the clamps that wore through the hoses? either way all the hoses should not have needed replacement in such a short time. it doesn't matter i was looking buying a new titan until this came up. no new titan for me. *tr | |||

| Truck vibrates very roughly and brakes push down low to the floor when brakes are applied. brakes were first serviced at 4,503 miles on september 24, 2004. again truck started to vibrate when brakes were applied, and had to be pushed hard and low to floor. brakes were again serviced at 8,795 miles on january 18, 2005. truck currently has 12,565 miles and truck again vibrates when brakes are applied, and brakes need to be pressed hard and go low to the floor. nissan has been notified and waiting for contact for service of truck. in addition, the following items have been noted with nissan: there is a clunking noise when shifting gears (possible drive shaft problem), truck runs very rough and loud (possible belt tension problem), the radio has bad reception and the dashboard rattles. in addition, it was noted to nissan that the driver's side mirror reflects the dashboard when driving at night, which is very distracting when looking into the driver's side mirror in order to change lanes.*ak | |||

| The radio component of the stereo system is horrible!! have had it checked three times, and all they say it is is a loose antenna!!!! reception sounds terrible, like pocket transistor radio. cd player sounds terrific! but, for $1200 upgrade stereo, radio should sound great. reception fades in and out, and sounds like mono, not stereo.*ak | |||

| The stereo fm stations continuously fade into mono type sound and weak radio reception particularly after engaging bumps in road or making a turn. the sound tends to correct itself temporarily when on smooth road surface or stopped. dealer blamed the issue on local weak fm broadcast of radio stations. also stated, nothing can be done and wait for recall. *la | |||
