My Titan is a 4 door not 2, also I am not sure if these recalls I saw are related to the problems I am having but my light indicator (as in the pictures I provided) has come on twice I immediately turn it off and I wait for the engine to cool it gets really hot but it doesn't indicate any over heating on the dash indicators (it might just be me but it seems hot enough to be overheating) and once cooled i check the fluids and refill the oil as needed (coolant level been fine) but this has happened to me now 2 times in a 3 day period so I believe there is a leak. Also about my shifter I'm not sure if this applies but I have the shifter you can switch to manual (I've never switch to manual bc I don't know how to drive manual) but I have an issue with it just in automatic sometimes when I shift from park to drive it doesn't seem to switch from park to drive and the vehicle stays in the parked position while the shift is in drive and I have to shift back to park wait a second and then shift back into drive a second time before I get the truck into driving mode. I added some pictures of recalls that are for my year make and model truck that seem like the same issues I'm dealing with and wasn't sure if they applied to my vehicle and just got missed with the amount of owners it's had
I purchased this truck on 04/05/18 from Harbor motors Lihue Kauai, and not even a week into having this truck it started acting up, overheating, the truck wouldn't turn over, suspensions, the four-wheel-drive wouldn't disengage, when you turn the key to start the vehicle it would make a clicking noise before starting, the AC would work when it wanted to, and the transmission and engine started knocking. The next week I went running errands and when I pulled out of my yard the truck started jerking then pressed the gas and it revved really high before slamming into drive. Since then I haven't driven the truck. And today it looks like someone just smashed into the front driver light to the side and smashed it while being parked at the place I purchased the truck from. I've continuously asked for help with little to no help at all. The truck is no longer drivable and I'm still making payments on it. The lights on the dashboard has the Check enigine light on, snd the ABS
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'

I went in to get a truck on July 11th... they had to get the truck started by jumping the battery that they said would be replaced. While rushing us without offering a test drive insurring the truck was sound and mechanically stable. We then drove off in the 2004 Nissan Titan and all the lights on the dash came on shortly after. Vrd ABS and brake as well as check engine light. The brakes then went out on us as we reached out home. The next day we informed them of what happened, they said it was just water on the brakes to give it a day and see what it does. It happened again and when we took it back they said the mechanic was gone to come back. Thats when we noticed the cara registration was for another vehicle and started to wonder if they had taken the car to emmisions at all. Check engine light was om since we left the lot. Before our first payment I spent $900 on parts had roadside called 4 times and replaced the battery. The truck didnt last to the first payment. Completely lost all braking power. This truck was taken to a mechanic that told us it would not have passed emissions when we got it because the history on the check engine light showed it was only cleared and not addressed.
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.

Two cracked exhaust manifolds. At times I an getting exhaust fumes into drivers compartment. I understand this is a wide problem with Nissan 5.6 L V-8S and a big problem with the Titans. My local Nissan dealer est. Repair at $3,507.50 and he told me the it is not uncommon for both to fail at the same time. Nissan customer support will not do anything. I started have problem at 100.000 mile I am at 124.000 now. From what I have been told this is a design defect. I think this should be made into a recall. My truck looks like new from the outside.
The exhaust manifolds on this vehicle are extremely prone to cracking. There are hundreds of reports online of them cracking so Nissan is certainly aware of the issue. They cracked on my vehicle and exhaust gasses leak into the passenger compartment so this is definitely a safety hazard.
This is a finance vehicle saw the 2004 Nissan Titan really like it for the work that I do and my husband agreed to partially financed it. The first driving off the car lot the service engine light came on when we got home I called back the dealer to let him what had happened, he said to bring it back the following Thursday to see what was going on, during the same week the two front windows fell down into the slot couldn't come back up so we had drive in the dead of winter with the windows done. Finally we drop the pickup off at the dealer, it was there for 2 full weeks before we got it back, thinking everything was fixed.a few days after the engine light came back on we called them again they in replied telling us they can't do anything about the problem because the vehicle is a used vehicle.oh my god. Now I have put over a $1000 in parts and now the mechanics are telling me it needs a new engine. Please I need help because I have to be paying the finance company for something I cant use.
I had the dealer inspect the vehicle. They said both exhaust manifolds had cracked. They said there was a previous notice from Nissan and they should be replaced. I was not notified and the dealer did not contact me. Now they said too much time had elapsed to take advantage of this free replacement. This is clearly a design defect since Nissan had them replaced on some vehicles. This is a safety hazard because cracked manifolds can cause a carbon monoxide leak or set a fire while driving fast. The cost to repair is near $1000 for the parts plus labor to install. There must be other people who had this safety problem so the government should force Nissan to fix all the vehicles. Mine has only 86000 easy miles on it.
I have same problem as everyone else with cracked exhaust manifolds starting around 65000 miles. Expensive to replace so I have no choice but to listen to a horrible exhaust leaks. Next is the rear axle seals first around 65000.replaced 2X. After talking to Nissan tech who is a friend apparently its a very common problem. The axle tubes tend to warp causing a leak all over tires N brakes and eventual failure of gears inrear pumpkin if not caught. Just waiting for it to happen again. Brakes have always been a problem. Every 7000 brakes N rotors R shot and need replacing. Pedal always has a mushy feel when U occasionally need to slam on the brake. Goes all the way to the floor even when brakes R good.
My 2004 Nissan Titan with 81K mile has 2 cracked exhaust manifolds. Both passenger and driver sides have crack just in front of last cycle on both sides. My truck was running fine one night. The next morning my truck was sounding like it had an exhaust leak. Send my truck in to have recalls address and it was confirmed by Nissan mechanics that both sides are cracked. Was told it would be about $3000 to replace both sides. Many people have reported this issue and nothing has been done.
