2006 Nissan Titan engine problems

Filed Apr 16, 2025 · Engine · OR · 2 injuries

My vehicle, which I bought used with about 140,000 miles on it had cracked exhaust manifolds, which I replaced. Both were cracked and one actually fell to pieces when unbolted. One replacement cracked after about 15,000 miles, but was able to have it braised. Now, at about 180,000 miles they a spewing carbon monoxide into the cab again. This is a serious health and safety issue, and from checking Titan club web sites, it seems to be a widespread issue. I DO NOT DRIVE OFF ROAD OR SUBJECT THE TRUCK TO ABNORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I appreciate your time and consideration. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I think it was in 2009 when I took my vehicle to nissan to check engine light and light smoke out of exhaust. Ran diagnostic and found out that catalytic converters broke up and broken material went back (suckback) into engine and damaged piston rings which was causing it to smoke. Told me I needed to replace engine cause it was pretty much no good. This truck was 3 yrs. Old at the time. Warranty was out and was and cost me a fortune to replace engine and exhaust system. I had no idea til now how many 2006 titan owners have had the same issue. This has to be recalled.

My truck has been showing p0335 code issues, which is crankshaft sensor, which has been replaced, my RPM's jump/sputter but the truck stars & runs but feels like its running rough, also I forgot to mention that my dashboards "slip" light remains on... And the biggest problem with it is that, no "professionals" seem to know what it is, nor have they been able to fogure it out as of yet.

I bought this titan at tri-state nissan in winchester, va. My brake rotor were completely rusted due to bad metal used - I had to replace them at 30,000 miles. My left rear wheel seal was defective and started started leaking fluid at 70,000. Had to replace even though I had extended warranty. Catalytic manifolds went bad and they knew it when it was under warranty - but they didn't replace them. Paint problem when the truck is cold - big giant spots in the clear coat. The manifolds manifolds need to be recalled because the exhaust is entering the vehicle.
