Problems with 2006 Nissan Titan EQUIPMENT

2006 nissan titan exhaust manifolds cracked again. fixed at dealer at 62,837, replaced both exhaust manifolds with new ones. now at 118023 manifolds are cracked again, out of warranty and dealer will not replace. this is not a cheap repair somewhere around $2900 to fix both. i have heard many other complaints about this and had i known previously i would not have purchased this vehicle. nissan replaced the faulty manifolds with the same new faulty manifolds. *tr

2006 nissan titan. consumer states several problems with vehicle and recall issues *tgw the consumer stated the brake booster was defective and has not worked properly, since the vehicle was purchased. it would take extreme force to stop the vehicle. the fuel level sending unit, air conditioning condenser fan motor, engine control module relay, instrument panel fuel gauge all malfunctioned. also, the lower control links that attached to the chassis mounting failed.

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. *tr

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. *tr

06 titan le crew cab - stereo just stops - no audio, no power, nothing. this has occurred twice in less than 3 months with complete head unit replacement by the dealership. dealer states they can not remove the cds from the changer and must wait for factory to do so - i have not had any cds returned to date. pending other options - persue small claims suit for reimbursement of cds, one more incident of same item will meet il lemon laws under for impact to material value of the vehicle... i like the truck and it functions well except for this more simplistic item and the difficulty in getting repair from a dealer that i did not purchase the vehicle and the number of failures of the same item. nissan usa has not been materially helpful, only to document but no action. 2nd tires 285/70/r17 - reported to michelin (for bf goodrich rugged trail - oem) tires - have less than 6/32s tread remaining with only 6k miles on tires - michelin will not replace or compensate until 2/32s, though they acknowledge a problem given original tread was 13/32s so more than half tread life is gone in 6k miles. *jb

The vdc [vehicle dynamic control] kept shutting off. this is a safety feature to regulate motion and speed of the 4 wheels. the vdc would not turn back on with the vdc dash button. the dealer stated the rear differential bearings had failed and the titan was unsafe to drive. it's been at the dealer waiting for a new rear differential for 2 weeks. the truck was not delivered with the power folding - auto dim exterior mirrors; the xm radios did not work; bed extender not installed; gas tank wasn't full as promised. *jb
