2005 Nissan Titan engine complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 120, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving one the highway I noticed my vehicle start to shutter and shut down as if it ran out of gas. My fuel gauge said half a tank so I didn't think it was the problem until I walked to the gas station to fill up a gas can. I put 2 gallons of gas into my fuel tank that said I had a half a tank. I started my truck and it started. Since that incident it has happened 3 times, the most recent being yesterday 07/02/18. I replaced the fuel pump today in hopes that it fixes the problem.
2005 nissan titan 121k miles. Cracked exhaust manifold causing a exhaust leak. There is a strong exhaust smell in the cab when traveling at slower speeds (under 35mph). It has been so bad at times it makes you light headed and sick to your stomach. This could cause someone to pass out while driving causing them to loose control of their vehicle. Defiantly a safety hazard! Also causing a decrease in gas mileage as well as a loud knocking/puffing noise upon acceleration. I have searched the internet finding 100's if not 1000's of complaints about this! Why has this never been recalled? The safety issue alone should warrant a recall, its obviously a faulty component!

My nissan titan has roughly 31,000 miles on it over the last 12 years . The exhaust manifold is cracked . I did a search to see if this was a known problem and there are tons of complaints and pictures on the internet so I was amazed to see that there are no recalls . Many people have had the issue taken care of under the 8 year 80,000 mile emissions warranty . The only problem is many people ( including myself ) are past the 8 years even though way under the mileage . My truck is practically brand new inside and out and has been sparingly used and still now I have harmful exhaust fumes leaking out and the truck is robbed of power .

Cracked exhaust manifolds. Nissan has a poor design and I have checked on line and 100's of others have commented about the cracked exhaust manifolds. These are a safety concern as I can smell the exhaust gas around the front of the truck, instead of it being properly transferred out the exhaust system as designed. Nissan is not supporting the required replacement which should be free. The repair cost are in the thousands not acceptable when it is nissan poor design all all trucks with these manifolds are affected.

"takata recall" cracked manifolds bank 1
Exhaust manifold cracked at about 75,000 miles.
The exhaust manifolds are faulty and crack allowing deadly carbon monoxide exhaust gases to enter the cab of the truck while the vehicle is in operation. This could cause the driver to lose consciousness and crash. It was only after my 6th long road trip (3+ hours driving) did I discover I was being poisoned by carbon monoxide. I took my truck to an exhaust repair company and as soon as I mentioned my vehicle the technician told me he was 99% sure I had a cracked manifold. He later confirmed this with a diagnostic test which revealed both manifolds cracked and leaking exhaust fumes into the cab. This could have killed me just sitting in a parking lot! I thought I was just getting bad headaches from the long drive and my nausea was from the extreme headaches. After this happening so many times I knew there had to be more to this. Think about somebody driving, being poisoned to the point to where they pull off the road to rest and try to sleep off their headache in a running vehicle to stay warm and end up dying. Nissan needs to fix this. I don't want a new defective manifold, I want a fix!

Hi, I have a 2005 nissan titan and the exhaust manifold has cracked in the same spot twice now and it is before the cat so that means its now a gross polluter. The problem is you get it fixed and they put the same part back on that cracks again because they haven't changed the design. There are 3 other titans in my town and all of us have the same story. Also the sway bar mount on all of ours are broke witch results in very poor handling. I hope it can be recalled before something serious happens. Thank you.

The other day I was sitting in traffic for almost 30 min stopped with the engine running (lots of christmas traffic on the 5 south freeway), I put the truck in park because I notice an accident. I had my windows up and my cabin air on. Then a few min later I started feeling dizzy almost fainting. The car next to me saw that I was struggling, came to my window and asked me if I was ok. I rolled down my window and he noticed the smell of exhaust inside my truck. After my headache went away. I went to the dealership and they told me both of my exhaust manifolds were cracked and that's how the exhaust was entering near the front cabin.
There is a leak in the manifold that causes exhaust to leak into the drivers area of the vehicle. The vehicle was under warranty when incident happened and was told that nissan would not cover the repairs of this leak.
While driving down the highway the truck stalled and lost all power. After getting to the shoulder of the highway, the truck still had battery power and wanted to crank to start but acted like it wasn't getting gas. After calling around we determined thru a nissan service advisor that we should try filling the tank with gas, even though I was telling him it read between a quarter and half a tank. After putting in 5 gallons and turning the key and cranking it a few seconds, it started right up. It has done this at various times since this first occurrence and continues to vary. I now have to keep no less than half a tank of gas at all times or I will suddenly lose power and have to pull off. Nissan has a voluntary safety recall campaign 2005-2009 armada and titan fuel gauge inaccuracy, campaign id#r1010 & the federal safety agency#10v‑074, but say that it does not include my VIN. I have tried repeatedly to ask nissan how this safety campaign does not affect my vehicle if it too has the same problem, as I've been told its the fuel sending unit which is what this recall campaign covers.

Exhaust fumes in cabin due to cracked exhaust manifolds. I only use the truck for family trips, and on the last trip I notices a ticking noise coming from the engine, especially when cold, I also noticed exhaust fumes in the cabin when the truck was at a light or a long stop sign. I am the first owner of this truck and after some research it looks like this is a common problem with nissan titans but the worst part is that the replacements have the same issue, so now I can not use this vehicle. Looking to see what is the best permanent solution.
