Air bag warning light started blinking. Diagnostic gave code of crash zone sensor communication error. Researched issue on line and see that there is a recall for snow belt states which maine is included but not the titan. Contacted nissan regarding issue and was told that they would not cover because we are outside of warrantee? Find it odd that some vehicles are being covered but not this one. Previously to the airbag light issue my husband was driving on the interstate doing approximately 70 MPH when the vehicle abruptly lost all power. Thankfully no vehicle behind him. He pulled over into breakdown lane tried to restart vehicle wouldn't start initially but after 10 minutes did start. No codes to be read not sure if this is related to the airbag issue but obviously not safe to have your vehicle abruptly shut down at 70 MPH.

Sudden loss of power by model year
What owners say
I own a 4x4 loaded 2006 titan le which is my primary family vehicle. Around 80k, ECM module went out causing car to stall out and lose all power in the middle of traffic (with my kids). Lucky not to be nailed by an on-coming car, I had the car towed to the dealership and module was replaced due to recall. One week later while vacationing in the mountains the battery randomly fried, we replaced it. However immediately following, the anti-theft alarm would randomly sound off, the dvd player wouldn't work (hasn't worked since), the sunroof was malfunctioning and wouldn't open and close properly. Once we returned, the dealership couldn't find anything wrong (except the dvd player, which no one could explain). About two weeks later the check engine light came on and we found that the first catalytic converter on the passenger side had blown..followed not long after by cracked exhaust manifolds and the drivers side catalytic converter bad..dealership wants $3000 just for the catalytic converters!!! I should not be responsible for the cost of replacement! This clearly is a manufacturers defect and not a isolated case, nissan must do something about this! I hear rumors of a class action...it is a huge safety hazard!! I'm hoping they do the right thing and just fix it, without having to get lawyers involved.
Cracked exhaust manifolds (both sides) on 2006 nissan titan. Normal driving. Apparently, this could cause loss of power and fumes escaping from exhaust could enter the cabin and cause headache, nausea and other effects. Dealer offers 80k warranty. Truck as 75k. Dealer will replace under warranty.
Ipdm component failed. Caused 2006 nissan titan to die 6 times in a 2 mile journey. Lost power steering, could not safely complete a turn, had to drive into a wooded roadside to avoid hitting an on-coming car. Once at a repair station, they could not get vehicle to start and I had to have the vehicle towed to dealership for repairs. Could have cost me more... If the engine were over cranked it could damage the catalytic converter according to the mechanic at the dealership. Scary experience to have with my kids in the car.
I felt a slight give in the gas. The gas pedal depressed down to the floor of my truck and I lost power. I then lost all power steering capabilities. While trying to safely maneuver the vehicle to the emergency 101south freeway shoulder. I crashed into the median. Completely ripping off the front bumper and wheel well cover. The mechanic informed me that I had a faulty fuel sensor.
06 nissan titan 4x4 rear end failure. There was a clicking from the driver side rear on my way home from a vacation, a few miles down the road I stopped at a stoplight. When I began to accelerate there was a pop and I lost all power to the rear end. My axle somehow snapped almost dislodging it from the vehicle and now the dealership tells me I need to pay for an entire new rear end. This truck was never abused and saw mild offroad usage. I am very concerned as I could have lost my rear wheel while traveling down the highway at high speeds. This is not the only incident of nissan titan owners that I have heard. I believe it is becoming a serious issue.

Engine and engine cooling
- What is wrong
- Nissan is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 armada, titan, infiniti qx56 and model year 2005-2006 frontier, pathfinder and xterra vehicles. The intelligent power distribution module (ipdm) assembly contains an engine control module (ECM) relay that has a diode for electrical current noise reduction. The ECM relay may allow silicon vapor to form and, over time, the silicon evaporates from the diode molding which causes silicon oxide to develop on the ECM relay contact due to arcing.
- Risk
- This could cause engine stalling increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the ECM relay inside the ipdm assembly. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on december 6, 2010. Owners may contact nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261.
