| I own a 2006 nissan titan p/u and through the years i noticed some rust on my rear bumper. i decided to take it to the local dealership to have it check before my warranty ran out. the service manager said that it's from the rubber strip that is placed on the bumper and that when you step on it to gain access to the bed it tends to move and scratch the bumper and that is why you have rust. i told the manager i barely use the bumper so how can that be the cause. i asked if this is covered since it's the fault of the rubber strip and the way is was placed on the bumper, and his answer was no and that they would only cover it if it was rotted through. i do not have an extended warranty and by the time it does rot through my warranty would be expired. i feel this is the fault of nissan for not using the proper material or application, so why should i pay the price for their mistakes? i hope you can direct me on how i can resolve this matter. *tr thank you mr. allen nealy | |||

| I drive daily on unlit roads, and this problem frequently occurs. my 2006 nissan titan's air conditioning/heating controls response to change is slow with headlights on (10-15 seconds to move from floor to defrost), causing a safety problem when needing to defrost at night. nissan indicated this safety problem is the result of poor design for titans since the engineers chose to use the variable voltage from the instrument panel light rheostat to power the hvac controls. this 15 second delay causes a safety problem since when driving at night since the driver may be unaware that the windshield is fogged until oncoming traffic comes into view. when switching between modes (in this case, heat to defrost), by the time air begins to blow over the windshield, the truck has traveled 1100 feet without me being able to see the road (at 50 mph). this has made me run off the road, or nearly run off the road, numerous times (at least 10 that i remember). the only other option is to turn the instrument panels to full bright which blinds me during nighttime driving (just as unacceptable as a fogged windshield). nissan currently has no repair for this malfunction. *nm | |||

| The vdc [vehicle dynamic control] kept shutting off. this is a safety feature to regulate motion and speed of the 4 wheels. the vdc would not turn back on with the vdc dash button. the dealer stated the rear differential bearings had failed and the titan was unsafe to drive. it's been at the dealer waiting for a new rear differential for 2 weeks. the truck was not delivered with the power folding - auto dim exterior mirrors; the xm radios did not work; bed extender not installed; gas tank wasn't full as promised. *jb | |||

| I purchased this vehicle on 5/29/06 from victory nissan of richmond. one week later property was stolen when a sunroof was installed. at the end of june, brakes failed and passenger air bag light started going on intermittently. also, driver seat is crooked. dealer said they bled the brakes and clutch(?). this is an automatic. also, there was nothing wrong with the passenger air bag (then why does light keep coming on and staying on?) and there is nothing wrong with the seat. last night (8/15/06) my brakes failed again. vehicle was towed to dealer this morning. i advise the service manager that these were life safety issues and should fall under the lemon law. i was advised the lemon law wasn't their problem and i would have to contact nissan usa for assistance. is it still not their concern when the faulty product they sold fails and causes loss of life??? *nm | |||
