| While replacing lifetime warrantied suspension which was not honored by nissan or tenneco, i found the rear pinion seal to be leaking severely, and rear axle seal leaking in wheel assembly. possible source of ticking noise from differential, which until then i thought were exhaust heat shields. this condition could cause catastrophic drivetrain failure while vehicle is in motion. the fluid leaking from axle seal can reduce effectiveness of braking components. other owners have described inadequate engineering & possible use of substandard differential materials & components along with axle vent assemblies which could create internal pressure conditions that could cause seals to fail. *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 | |||

| Since the purchase of our 2004 nissan titan on 8/31/04, the front suspension has been out of alignment. vehicle would immediately veer to the right when the steering wheel was released. after four attempts by the dealership to resolve the alignment problem,the nissan district technical specialist (dts) removed the vehicle from an as manufactured configuration by grinding down the right caster eccertic adjustment bolts.this modification was a desperate attempt to adjust the alignment to near specifications while negating the need and cost involved to identify and repair the actual problem prohibiting the front suspension from being aligned properly while the vehicle was in the original as manufactured configuration. subsequent to this modification, the front suspension is still not within the manufacturer's specifications and the vehicle vibrates and shakes at speeds above 50mph. the dealer has tried, without success, to eliminate the vibration with wheel and tire replacements. this short cut type fix done by the nissan dts has affected the integrity of the front suspension, put the vehicle in an unstable driving condition and created a safety issue on the road.*ak | |||

| 2004 nissan titan was brought in for exhaust maintenance. upon inspection, mechanics noticed axle seal leaks on both rear tires. nissan dealer offered to replaced seals although vehicle is 7000 miles out of warranty. when warranty work was initiated, dealer then stated that both rear axles were now damaged due to the faulty axle seals. nissan offered no coverage for the axles, and stated that axle seals could still be replaced under warranty but would only act as a bandaid for about 1000 miles before leaking would happen again. at this point nothing has been done to correct the problem. *tr | |||
