The truck stalled out no power had to crash into shoulder of road and embankment. Glad we survived the bumpy crash, I just had suspension work done that saved us. We read the ipdm board or ECM relay is bad and causes this stalling to happen. Part number for ECM relay 284b7-cw29.

Back in may of 2011 I was driving my nissan titan truck down the highway with my two girls 6 & 7 year old when I heard the truck making a noise out of the rear .I slow down and immediately pulled over to the side of road not knowing what had happened. I drove the vehicle back to my home and called the dealership. When I took my 2005 nissan titan to the dealership in vineland new jersey they stated that the problem with my truck was the rear and needed to be replaced. They stated that the repair cost for the whole rear was $3,800 in order for it to be repaired. They stated that my truck was out of warranty by 2 months even though I only had 38,836 miles on it. I asked why couldn't the pumpkin in the rear be fixed and nissan stated they do not just fix the pumpkin. They would have to replace the whole rear in the truck costing me $3,800.00. I called [xxx] and spoke to [xxx]. [xxx] rep stated that he has never heard of this problem, part (tt913a582) [xxx] posi. [xxx] stated to me that they make this rear for nissan. [xxx] stated that nissan engineers, engineer part and they only make it for them. I took the vehicle to a local shop to be repaired which stated that the repairs would cost me $1,358.90. The auto repair center that I took my nissan titian to, stated that there was many many many complaints about the rears in the nissan titans starting from 2005 to 2010. It was actually being reported online search. As I looked online I could see many complaints about the nissan titan rears with the same problem. So my question to the government supervisor paid by taxpayers, does it take 30 people to die in order to fix the problem and blame it on nissan just like you did to gm. Fix the problem. So go online and read. Take matters seriously!! I extricate people out of vehicles for a living when they are in car accidents dead or alive.

On november 30, 2010 while driving my son to school my steering wheel locked-up and the rack & pinion leaked all the oil and the truck was totally disabled. Also july 30, 2011(mileage 28830) it happened again while going on vacation with my family to los angeles. While driving on the freeway I heard some vibration on the steering wheel and the steering totally disengaged from the rack & pinion. We were not able to steer the wheel at all that we had to stop and get help. Also december 29, 2012 (mileage 33323) it happened again while pulling the truck out of my garage, this time it leaked all the oil from the rack & pinion and the steering wheel was very stiff to drive. I feel that this problem needs to be addressed as soon as possible because somebody can get badly injured or killed because it's really unsafe to drive this truck. Future nissan where I bought the truck will not help me with this issue & are denying to fix my truck again because they are saying it's the same problem again. I ask that you please help me resolve this matter. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

2005 nissan titan crew cab 4x4 with off-road package, within 10,000 miles there were loose bolts on the transfer case. At 38,500 miles the left front differential seal failed and leaked. At 39,800 miles the power steering hose went bad and leaked. At 51,000 miles the circular clip on the axle at front left differential deformed causing axle to begin to fall out of vehicle!!! Thankfully all has been covered under our extended warranty, and dealerships have replaced parts, but when it runs out these will come from our pocket, and no one can guarantee the new parts are not just replacements or any better. This could have resulted in death or injury to us or someone else had that axle fell from vehicle, and could occur again.
