| My 2004 nissan titan truck leaks on the floorboard when it rains this happens on the passenger side. electrical wiring is laying in a puddle of water. water also pours out of the doors. the entire interior of the vehicle is covered in mold and now rust has appeared. this includes carpet, seats, steering wheel and more. front right wheel is also rusted. due to the water problems there is condensation on the windshield which makes visibility poor. attempts made by the dealership to fix this problem has failed. *tr | |||

| Can not read computer-generated information in daylight, cloudy or otherwise. includes gear indicator, tow mode, mileage, air conditioning, etc. had an army lt. col. on his knees trying to read the gauges as we were driving through las vegas, nv. prior to this trip out west, all of my driving had been local and infrequent (i use a more economical car for in-town/local driving), and the speedometer is not computer generated. this is unsafe and i do not wish to be killed trying to see the dash instruments. i have driven with the rheostat turned all the way up, with no effect/benefit. i bought this truck to tow my trailer and travel. i am unsafe during daylight and towing a trailer at night is not acceptable nor practical. i called the manufacturer (nissan) who directed me to take the vehicle to my local dealer (jenkins in lakeland, fl). while the head of service (mr. dunkin) agreed he could not read the information on a cloudy day, his only advice was to turn the rheostat all the way up, which was already done. he said nothing could be done. did not give me any paperwork to prove i was there. condition is on-going and is very dangerous. a person could easily take full attention off of driving to try to read the gauges. this could and would cause accidents. the number of failures is every time i drive in daylight. *jb | |||

| The wiring harness, in the back door has broken, because of a nissan engineering problem, both the harness and wires have broken, which according to nhtsa the front passenger side airbag will not deploy, resulting in my having an unsafe truck according to nhtsa, i contacted nissan and was told that the campaign had ended, so they refuse to repair my truck according to the guidelines set by nhtsa. at what point does nissan decide that they can decide which trucks to repair, i have to wonder how many other unsafe nissan trucks are on the highways. *tr | |||

| The issue i am having is with my 2004 nissan titan. when it gets cold out, all of the door handle freeze and won't open. if you are lucky after a few hours and you do get it open, you can't get them shut. several times i had to tie the seat belt around the interior door handle in addition to holding the door close so i could get home. i took my car to ricart nissan and they said it will $1000 to fix all 4 doors. so, i contacted nissan directly and they refused to fix it. this is a serious safety issue and someone is going to get injured and/or killed. *tr | |||

| Numerous problems have arisen with my leased 2004 nissan titan king cab. including serious vibration problems that occurred upon braking to the point the vehicle was parked until the dealer finally agreed to at least 'turn' the rotors. eventually brakes were replaced by dealer 6 months after the initial problem. currently facing problems including a noise at startup that everyone can hear except the dealer mechanics, an overflow problem with gas tank even though just a few liters have been put in an empty tank. additionally major problems with driver side door refusing to open from both the inside and outside. dealer has realigned door numerous times but problem continues. dealer states the door problem is due to a poor design with a heavy door on inadequate hinges. occasionally have had to drive while holding door closed. extremely dangerous considering weight of door. this truck is barely one year old and problems just keep piling up with little dealer support offered.*jb | |||
