The vehicle displayed intermittent chemical type odor through HVAC system, 3 dealerships unable/unwilling to confirm, or seek direction from corporate as to method for resolution at my suggestion/request. I waited one year to allow for vehicle to "off-gas" interior odors from materials used in manufacture, had to insist that dealer staff document the concern which is yet unresolved and denied assistance from Consumer Affairs department to satisfy health and safety concerns. Incurred significant additional expenses to alleviate issue such as in cabin air filter and purchase of ionizing unit; plus missed workdays, transportation, fuel and service and diagnostic fees at dealerships.

Just had both manifolds replaced under Nissan warranty. As I was driving away from the dealership I heard a loud pop turning right from the rear of the truck. Turned around back into the dealerships parking lot I heard another pop? the service tech drove it around their service area and said my rear differential was going out. Nissan has known this has been an issue for years especially in the early trucks years but refuses to fix it under a recall. This is a $3500 fix which the consumer has to pay and Nissan profits from a poorly designed component. There needs to be a recall on all Nissan Titans from '04 - '07.

2004 Nissan Titan VIN [xxx] at 90K miles the exhaust manifolds cracked on my 2004 Nissan Titan. Nissan covers this under warranty until 80K miles for the exhaust system. The truck has had no modification and will not pass state emissions and gets horrible gas mileage due to this. Now at 104 K I have visited multiple dealers and they agree this is common issue with the Titan's and the crack will make a 5 year old truck not pass state emissions. To replace the exhaust manifold with stock parts is $1200; which frustrates me since this is a faulty design which causes the manifolds to move differently then the engine mounts allow the engine to. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Car into dealer for service. Found two cracked manifolds on both sides of the engine resulting in excessive noise and exhaust gases to be released into the cab. Both sides need full replacement at nearly $1,200 per side. This is ridiculous on a vehicle with only 70K miles on the clock.
While traveling to go on a 13 hour drive, all of our engine lights came on and the truck became sluggish. We had truck towed and got a call from dealership saying what happen was muffler/exhaust unit fell off during travel and the unit remaining got so hot it burned out entire part of truck including, ECU, rear right harness, and 3 other things. Cost to fix over $3,000. After paying hefty bill shop manager said this was the 5th Titan in our small town he had same issue with and that he agrees this is the worst place for a unit on a truck and manufacturer should of put other location. I then filed a complaint with Nissan Consumer Affairs. They acted like they cared and then 3 weeks later they denied helping me at all saying it was out of warranty. I did research on line and lots of people are having same issue. This is a huge safety concern and I think needs to be recalled and I need to be reimbursed for my repairs. I find it odd that the exhaust manifold also cracked on the truck on the right and left side and Nissan covers that until 80,000 miles.
Ticking noise discovered when starting the truck. Sounds seems to come from lower engine compartment or from front wheel-wells. Suspected a leaking exhaust pipe. Took truck to Nissan dealership and was informed the exhaust manifolds (left and right) were both cracked. Estimated cost was $2100. Advised by Nissan technician to "just leave it alone" as the only result of this problem was the ticking noise and a little worse mileage than usual. Over the last year, several instances of engine fumes causing passengers to roll windows down. Suspect the fumes are coming from the manifolds since no other exhaust leaks have been found.
