My vehicle impacted another vehicle from the rear and air bags did not deploy. The air bag light has been on. Several electrical problems; steering wheel buttons stopped working in 2008, ABS light remains on, backup sensor went out 11-17 and most recently I started my vehicle one morning and speakers started popping really loud and immediately smelled of burned wires and just two days later vehicle would not start, battery was completely drained. After charging worked fine for a couple of days but just repeated the same situation. This vehicle has gave me so many electrical problems starting a year after purchase. Also noticed that one of the a frames welded joints is cracked. I am a certified welding inspector and can say that it is a manufacturer discontinuity. The catalytic converters went out years after purchase in 2006. I have had to replace the engine because of the catalytic converters. I am the one and only owner and purchased it new with only 17 miles on it. This vehicle has had so many electrical/mechanical issues that im starting to think I should apply under lemon law but I dont know how to do that.

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.

Sunday evening my son was driving onto an entrance ramp to I-10 interstate when the truck died. Fuel gauge indicated truck had fuel. Would not start, left on side of interstate until next day. Bought some gas to put into tank which started the truck. He drove to fill tank ! Fuel gauge inaccurately displays fuel reading. Called nissan to informed them of my understanding that a fuel system recall. I was told I serviced my truck with this recall which I told corporate I was told there was no problem with my fuel system. I always ask for old parts but was not provided. Today, I took my truck to picayune nissan to get info on cost, diagnostics for corporate for them to make decision to approve this recall work. I spoke with service manager that the dealership sends used parts to corporate because they paid for work. I ask I should have the right to inspect old worn parts?! Dealership now wants to charge me about $400.00 for this recall work. Why is a recall warranty allowed a one-time fix!?! Lemon comes to mind!!!! Thx.

On a recall for a faulty ECM (engine control module). The vehicle stalled and would not start again, had it towed to dealer. Nissan covered this ECM. During the repair the mechanic noted that the rear axle seals were leaking and recommended that they be repaired as soon as possible. The cost to repair was estimated at $750.00. While web surfing for the repair process for the seals I ran across many complaints concerning this problem with the nissan titan including models from 2004 to present (2012). Based on the feedback from other titan owners, this is a common flaw with the vehicle and a costly one at that. Also this is the first time I have ever witnessed rear axle seals failing in a vehicle. Most seem to last the life time of the vehicle. I believe this is a manufacture's responsiblity due to a defective parts creating an unsafe and useless means of transportation.

2006 nissan titan died in parking lot on sunday, august 1st, started right up. On monday, august 2nd, died in bank drive through, took about 8-10 minutes to get started, then only "chugged". Was able to get out of drive through line and to parking spot. Turned engine off for 20 minutes, started up and went back to work. At 5:00 on that day, would not start. Tried for 30 minutes. Husband had friend tow it home and they checked the spark plugs and a few things with no luck. On august, 4th, husband towed the truck to the clay cooley nissan dealership, their test showed it to be the ipdm sensor out. This part was replaced and truck was fixed. The cost for this repair was $306.16. I have just found out that this sensor has been recalled on titans produced from 2004 to june 2006. According to clay cooley nissan, my truck was produced in april 2006; according to nissan customer service this recall was effective from 2004 to march 2006. This makes no sense to me. This part was recalled and it went out on my truck. I plan to keep following on this issue until I get my 306.16 refunded.

Car eventually started after a few starts. 11/17/09 car did not start at all; car had to be towed to nissan service department 11/17/09 nissan service department suspected a problem with the ipdm = intelligent power distributor module- the part that provides power for the whole vehicle to run. Service department has indicated that the part is hard to come by because of the backlog in manufacturing the part. After diagnostics, it was the ipdm and was told that the part will take about 3 weeks to order. After talking to service rep, they have indicated that they had several cars that were waiting for the part for their car. 11/25/09: part received and car will be fixed by end of today and ready for pick up. Cost of part and labor should not be at consumer cost but at the manufacturer because of the inconvenience that this has caused.
