Dvr rear axle seal leak (which saturated brake pads leading to possible severe problem, but was caught before any situation) at 28,xxx miles, rear axle seal leak pass. side (warranty optioned to replace whole rear end axle assembly at 36,200 miles, rear axle seal leak both sides including 3rd member seal at 60,xxx miles, rear end ring and pinion "grenaded" at 61,xxx miles (extended warranty still unsure on coverage due to lack of rear end maintenance records, i. e. - lube change) (required maintenance is every 30,000 miles, i have not put 30,000 miles on the vehicle before a major issue.)*cn

On 7/12/07 nissan had to replace both exhaust manifolds on the truck with 41,795 miles on it. these were covered under warranty and now again at 106,000 miles both exhaust manifolds are again cracked. i was told by the dealer that these manifolds only last 50-60,000 miles before they fail and that they are replacing th *ttem on all the trucks. i called nissan and they are telling me they are not going to do anything about it. if i go to titan talk website there are several people complaining about the same issue. seems like a faulty part that they should have to take care of. *tt

On 03/27/2006 driving to work in my 2005 nissan titan [xxx] pickup accelerated on its on. i was stopped at a stop light merging in to traffic when it accelerated forward by it self and with my foot on the brake. when this accrued i tried to put it in to neutral, still nothing happen, even with both of my feet barring down on the brake the tires where burning rubber and i was still moving slowly forward. finally i turned the ignition off and it shut down, i waited a few moments and tried to start the engine again. at this time it did it again and turn the engine off again, waited a few more minutes and tried again, at this time it started correctly and i drove it directly to kraft nissan dealership for there service department. kraft nissan took the afternoon to look over the truck, at around 3:01 pm the service writer called and said that they could not duplicate the problem and my truck is ready to be picked up. i said that the problem is real and that they need to find it, they said if problem can't be seen they can't fix it. i talk with the service manager and then called nissan and was basically told the same thing. the service manager said to drive the vehicle and if the problem happens again they can try to solve at that time. also was told that my foot could have been on the brake and gas pedal at the same time, told him that would have been impossible because both of my feet where pressing the brake pedal to the floor board to stop the truck. *jb [xxx] updated 07/16/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
