Filed Jun 20, 2024 · Electrical, Engine · VA

So back in October 2023 ,I noticed a lot of things go wrong at once lime the radiator had to be replaced because it was leaking everywhere. The steering went bad and started leaking. The rear main seal started leaking. The clock spring went bad. there isntons of water always in the passenger floorboard and passenger door. The fuel gauge is all over the place and never reads right. The oil pressure gauge always has been on high. The engine light, air bag light slip light, and abs light have always been on. The right rear window stopped going up and the controls on the drivers door sometimes work and sometimes don't. The Manuel shifter has never worked and I cannot put the transmission in 2,3, or 4th gear from a stand still. Always been weird knocking sound in the suspension

I have had to replace my transfer case 2 times, my front drive side hub assembly 2 times in less than 2 years. I have replace front axle and and rear. Now my passenger side leaks out from under the glove box every time it rains into my floor keeping it wet. Just yesterday my transmission went itno limp mode and I know it can be a number of things . I look at the 04 thru 07 titans and they have a lot of issues like have but haven't listed them all, but the issues iam having are not on recall list for my 2006, but are for the other years??? This is my only vehicle and I can't afford to keep dropping $ into it. Back driver window motor stopped and window fell and broke, manifold ticking is a recall for the 2005, but not my 2006. I could keep going but I am getting so frustrated. I was going down the road at about 45 mhp when it just went into limp mode, so I pulled over turned it off and back on then it would work for about 3 min. Stop do it again to get home. It will go into gear, and the RPM's rev and go up ,but I am not getting very far at all. My trans fluid is good. I have also replaced the throttle position sensor. All fuses are good and codes reset and it still goes limp mode.

Ticking noise from engine area especially under moderate acceleration, dealer inspected and said my exhaust manifolds are cracked and would cost 3k to fix . Nissan customer relations refuses to help in any way even though my truck is only 4000 miles past mileage limit. This is a known issue that is a safety hazard (exhaust fumes can enter cab) and nissan refuses to take any responsibility.

Left and right side exhaust manifolds are cracked. They are normally covered under the emissions warranty of 8yr/80k miles. I am out of warranty by 4,000 miles. I put 4k miles every 3 months and I have heard the ticking noise when the vehicle is cold for over this time period. I contacted nissan USA for loyal customer assistance and was denied. I filed an appeal and was denied within 2 hours. I have owned (3) nissans in the past 7 years and expect some compensation. This is a major problem on all titans 2004 to 2007. This should be under recall for exhaust gases getting into the passenger compartment.

2006 nissan titan only 35,000 miles and both exhaust manifolds cracked and were leaking exhaust gases that could not be fed into catalytic converters..dealer replaced under emissions warranty since exhaust manifold/catalytic converter are a solid 1 piece unit. They replaced with identical defective pieces that I am positive will crack like the original ones..please check online titan forums and you will see it is a very common problem with almost every titan..my local dealer says they "automatically check every titan" for this issue..I believe this should be a recall campaign because it is so common and not from driver error/abuse, and once any titan is out of the 8 year/80000 mile coverage it is a very expensive repair totaling over 2,000 dollars! Most titan owners report a ticking sound from under the hood especially under cold start up-I didn't notice this on mine so I had no idea mine were cracked that's why I believe there should be a recall to inspect as many titans as possible for this emissions issue.
