This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH and descending a hill, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floor. The contact stated that she pumped the brake pedal, but the vehicle failed to respond immediately. The contact then used the gear lever to shift to neutral(N) and then to park(P) and the vehicle stopped. The contact then turned the vehicle off. The contact stated that prior to the brake failure the instrument panel lights had started to flash on and off. The contact restarted the vehicle, and the brake functionality returned. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent but had gradually become more frequent. The contact stated that the brake failure and instrument panel lights malfunction occurred three times in one day. The contact had been unable to schedule an appointment with a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,290.
While driving for 20 minutes and I'd say 25 miles per hour, my truck just stalls the electrical system working, but no engine power! the truck just stop running. In my attempt to restart the engine the starter will turn but no start. I am now stranded in traffic and if it was not for good samaritans who help me push the truck to the curb. This happened twice in the last couple of days. I've replaced my battery and it died for second time! thankfully I was on the city street both times. Both times I waited awhile tried to start up with no success, but it started only afterwards getting a jump start!? the battery is brand new and the hope of finding the answer is websites at lease in the hopes of some answer and directions. Eve since replaced the battery I'
This seems to be an issue for a lot of people so I'm officially reporting. I've owned this car for 16 years. In that time, I've repeatedly had issues with the braking system at different times starting in 2006, but definitely in 2009. I've brought it up with dealers in both saco, me & wake forest, nc. Each time they cannot find a problem. Finally after the last time the dealer said there was a bulletin about the computer needing an update. Which cost multiple hundreds to install. This install definitely decreased the incidents of multiple brake failings while driving, but didn't completely fix the problem. I'm just now learning that it's a faulty delta stroke sensor in the brake booster and is a known problem to Nissan for the Titan and armada models. I never got the postcard about the class action lawsuit, but it wouldn't have helped since they never identified the issue or maybe even hid it from me during my visits. Because of this I'm out of the window for the lawsuit and am still having problems. My '04 still only has 78,000 miles and multiple other people are having this same issue. Nissan just had to pay 25 million to a family that was hit by one of these affected vehicles, but still will not claim there is an issue with the delta sensor and brake booster. Please make them fix this issue to save lives and pay for something they know has been an issue for a very long time. The booster can be reset and the problem goes away, but to do this you have to stop the car with the brakes fluttering and not responding. Then you shut off the car for 10 seconds and restart the car. This usually fixes the issue, but it can return at any time. Usually when you've already been driving for awhile. Started back in 2006, but got worse in 2009. Computer fix lessened issue, but still occurs at random times.
The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at undisclosed speeds or stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the ECM relay needed to be replaced. The contact was then referred to naples Nissan (3640 pine ridge rd, naples, fl 34109, 239-300-2765. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was not subjected to a recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 159,500.
The dash actuator control for the climate control system makes noise and sometimes gets stuck where U cant defrost your windows which is very dangerous, it can happen at any time
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., I have owned this truck since 2005, why was I not notified by Nissan of this recall, and what can I do to correct this dangerous situation?
The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. While the vehicle was stationary, the driver and passenger side seat belts failed to retract when prompted. The contact also stated that the vehicle stalled without warning on numerous occasions while stationary and while driving various speeds. In addition, while driving 70 mph, the control panel became inoperative and completely lost power. The contact stated that the failures were intermittent and became progressively worse since 2011. A dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
My husband could have been killed. We had no knowledge of any recalls. Two days ago my husband was getting in the truck and all of a sudden smoke started coming from the dash board and a fire was starting. He immediately ran in the truck stop store and was able to get a fire extinguisher. Another customer unhooked the battery as my husband distinguished the fire. The truck will not start and when trying to test it out by re-attaching the battery the smoke began again. We are now without a vehicle and had to get the truck towed home.

I was driving my 2004 Nissan Titan from work when coming up to a stop leaving the long driveway to enter the main rd I pushed on the brakes and the pedal dropped to the floor and began vibrating and making a grinding noise like when you step on the pedal very hard and the ABS comes on, except the brakes did not engage. The truck did not stop. I flew through the stop sign in front of other coworkers leaving a building to the North. The road only went left and right so I could not make the turn so I had no options and went across the road, hit the curb, went into a field where a mesquite tree stopped me. I put the truck into park and shut it off. When I restarted it the brakes are back and working like nothing ever happened. I left the truck there and went home to begin my normal google searches and what's the cause and how to fix this problem myself. I've found hundreds if not thousands of online complaints on this very issue. The most recent notes are of a class action lawsuit that Nissan has agreed to pay because of faulty parts that cause their vehicles not to stop. They where quoted that they will not issue a recall unless ordered to do so in numerous news articles. Please process this recall before someone else gets hurt or killed. Please help.

The brake on my 04 Nissan Titan would quit working intermittently. The pedal went all the way to the floor and it pulsated and seemed to have no brake. All the service lights went on. I have no control of the brake at all. Very scary feeling. I had to pull over the side of the road and shut down the engine and restarted and the problem went away. It happened intermittently. I bought the truck new in 04 and still have it now 2013. It happens about 5-7 times every year. Nissan needs to own up to it and repair the problem. There are a lot of discussions about the delta stroke sensor. They need to fix this before someone got killed and then they will have a big lawsuit in their hands.
Imagine driving down a mountainous road in Idaho state. You are going down a hill in a pick-up truck pulling a camper. All of a sudden your vehicle goes into limp mode - it won't rev over 1000 RPM. You look to pull over but there is only a small shoulder. Vehicles are skidding trying to avoid an accident as your vehicle is disabled and only partially off the road. After fixing the problem, I realized the truck should never have gone into limp mode. It is a critical design flaw with the vehicle. I was put in harms way for no reason. All vehicles use to have the engine speed controlled via mechanical linkage or cables for the gas pedal. Very few failures existed with this design. Today gas pedal run by a wire that sends an electronic signal to the vehicles computer. The computer in turn evaluates the gas pedal position which then sends a signal to the fuel injectors and throttle body to control the engine. The critical design flaw comes into play when vehicle designers combine other electronic sensors on the same circuit as the gas pedal. Non-critical components like gas evaporator sensors, power steering sensors, air conditioner sensors. When any of these non-critical items experience an electrical short, the vehicle goes into limp mode potentially putting drivers in harm's way does this recommended solution fix all problems related to the gas pedal? no it does not. It is a lot safer. I believe NHTSA should evaluate & assess this critical design flaw. I have been a controls engineer for 28 yrs and this design is not safe. Please refer their model A60 series manual. Nov 2003 edition, rev-April 2004, pub no. Sm4E-1A60U1. Section B, pages ec-423 thru 427. I would find it satisfactory if Nissan redesigned and fixed all vehicles by separating circuits with critical engine components from non-critical components.
On 6/20/2008 I went to a Nissan dealership to resolve a recall item to replace rear door wiring harness, recall # R0616. The recall was performed and in the process the dealership also replaced LH-pretensioner, seatbelt and body harness, and reset airbag warning light. On 6/03/2013, the airbag warning light came on and I went to a nearby Nissan dealership and was advised that I would have to replace the LH-pretensioner, seatbelt and body harness, I informed the service advisor that this work was already accomplished once and that I had the documents if he needed them. The service advisor then stated that since the work was accomplished five years ago that even though the parts are a safety item that they were no longer under warranty, resulting in a $574.30 charge of which I paid. My contention is that this is a safety item, and thus should not have a warranty restriction, I am not sure if the truck is even safe to drive.
