Hello my truck exhaust manifold had a crack and was leaking exhaust fumes, the good thing there was a recall and Nissan dealership replaced it but now the other manifold is leaking carbon monoxide into my cabin making it on save to drive. I call the dealership but the recall is over and my truck dose not have warranty.

For the past three months, I've spent over $3,000 diagnosing and "fixing" erroneous warning lights. This past week, my truck (2005 Titan) would not start. The first time, it just cranked the starter, but would not engage. Now, I can turn the ignition to start and the starter won't even engage (no "clicking" noise, no noise whatsoever). It will start after several attempts, but I have to wait at least 2-3 minutes between each attempt. I've replaced the ECM (at my own expense) and it still does not start properly. It appears (from reading online posts in Titan forums) that the issue is the ipdm (intelligent power distribution module). The symptoms all line up. I feel lucky that my engine has not completely stopped while driving (yet). This is an utter hazard and needs to be addressed before someone loses their life because Nissan will not address the ipdm problem and recall/replace those that are faulty.
Rear speakers stopped working. After researching found that the wiring harness was pinched in the door jamb on my king cab rear doors. The wires were cut due to extensive wear and bending.

The fuel gauge does not read correctly below approximately a quarter tank. It occasionally will stick and fluctuate but always around a quarter tank and below. The first time I realized the problem I had to have my truck towed home, thinking it was something major when all I did was run out of gas.

Exaust flange after muffler rusted and broke with tail pipe facing upward. Hot exaust air is then trapped in wheel well causing damage to ABS cables and other electronics in chassis wiring.
I was looking on this website and seen 6 recalls for the 2005 Nissan Titan which I have and and noticed there was a recall for the wire harness on the driverside rear door. Well all those wires are broken off no music from the rear speakers on either side. I'm having problems were I try to accelerate and the truck barely wants to move and sometimes takes long to finally start. When your idling it sounds as if it's going to break down. When the a.C. is on it makes a very loud annoying sound. I've added pics of what I found on your website as I've included a pic of the frayed wires from the harness and Nissan of melbourne isn't trying to fix this being a recalled part.
2005 Nissan Titan, the heater works intermittently, the fan blows fine along with the A/C, it doesn't make a difference if the truck is moving or stationary.there is a clicking in the dash when I switch the control from, floor to dash or from defrost to floor, etc. I purchased this truck in 2015, but assume it has been a previous problem.
In April 2011 my rear axle seals on my Nissan Titan were leaking. I had these seals replaced with genuine Nissan parts. Not even 11 months later, I was coming home from camping, and at approx 45 mph I heard a loud pop, and metal on metal in my rear wheels. I immediately pulled over and found a mechanic within.2 of a mile. He told me that my rear axles seals failed, blew out the bearings, and the only thing holding my wheel on was the rear brake caliper. I had to have the truck towed to Nissan, and have a whole new rear axle assembly installed ($4000). There have been many complaints to Nissan about these rear axles failing, starting with the seals....the service manager has seen many of these trucks come in for new rear axles. There are numerous complaints online from Nissan owners as well. Nissan is aware of this defect, but will not fix the problem. If I didn't pull over immediately, my wheel might have fallen off (according to the mechanic). I'm asking for someone to look into this before someone dies from this defect. Thank you.
Was driving our 2005 Nissan Titan approximately 15 mph when the rear differential failed. We were 30 seconds from getting on a major interstate. There was a loud "pop" sound and the truck jerked and seemed to slip out of gear and locked up. The truck was barely drivable. Our mechanic determined that it was the rear differential. When he called Nissan to order the parts to rebuild it, he was told by the Nissan parts distributor that because of "previous problems" with the differential, they only sell the entire differential part, not the individual components, the part alone was $2900. Our entire bill was $3800, and ofcourse we are out of warranty. We conducted research on this issue and found 80 complaints on this NHTSA website, countless consumer complaints on various websites, and even some court cases. Nissan clearly knows about this potentially life-threatening issue in the 2004 and 2005 models and has done nothing about it to protect consumers. We will be pursuing this with Nissan and will be taking legal action if necessary. Not sure why nothing has been done about this especially given all the complaints out there. NHTSA should look into this issue as this defect is very dangerous and could cause a fatal accident (if it hasn't already). Shame on you Nissan.
Rear axle seals, locks, & gaskets need to be replaced and the dealer is charging approx. $800 to fix the problem. The oil is leaking onto the wheels from the axle problem. The switch for the driver controlled windows is out and the air pressure light comes on almost 80% of the time. The driver seat belt appears to jam and won't come undone or latch on most of the time.
I was having an issue with my engine stalling with around 97,900 miles on my 2005 Nissan Titan. At this time, my check engine light also came on. I took it to the dealership to get the problem code read and they said I had faulty bank 1 and bank 2 catalytic converters. The dealer said the stalling was due to a recall, NHTSA campaign id number: 10V517000. My complaint is that I had no problem with my catalytic converters until this recall issue. Since my catalytic converters and exhaust manifold are one piece, it cost $2,827.28 to have them replaced and I do not feel I should have to pay this, since this problem stemmed from their recall issue.
The axle seals leak intermittingly on both the driver and passenger side, rear axle. Gear oil leaks out and coats the backside of the brake/wheel assembly. This is the second incident on the driver side. The first time it was fixed under warranty at approximately 20000 miles. The passenger side axle seals were fixed under warranty at approximately 25000 miles.
I take very good care of my truck, have had it since it was new. Was going down town, stopped at a stop sign, started to go, turn, and it made this awful loud noise in the back. When I stopped, it did it again, when I went to pull into a parking space, it acted as if it didnt want to move. I checked the wheel and they were all ok it was dark and I couldnt see under it. Left there, and the noise was getting worse. Went straight home which was about 6 miles. The next morning I got up and called Nissan and they couldnt get it in until 5 days later, I told them there was something really wrong. Got in the truck and was going to les schwab to see if they could check it. Stopped to get me a coffee, backing out of the parking space, the truck acted as if it didnt want to move, sounded and felt as if the back tires were trying to lock up. I called Nissan back because I needed to make appt to get service done anyway. The guy at Nissan said they had a cancelation and to bring the truck in. I took the back roads, worried something might really happen if I took the freeway, so I took it slow, all the way the noise was getting worse. I got to Nissan, the guy pulled it up in the bay, and it made the noise, really loud. He got out said something really wrong. The rear axle had broke inside in little pieces. $2800 to fix it. Was so upset, no family to borrow a car, no money to fix it. The guy at Nissan told me not to worry, would call Nissan Corp Monday see what he could do. He agreed that the way I take care of my truck and the miles on it, shouldnt have happened. Also the seals were leaking. I went on line and found several complaints about the rear axle, seals, differental breaking on the 04, 05, and 06 Titans guy at Nissan told me that after a few years of building Titans they had to totallly rebuild the rear axle and I would have a totally different one. Nissan should step up.
Front differential failure on a 2005 Nissan Titan with under 37000 miles. Dealer cost to repair is $1800. Internet search indicates it is a common problem with a known weak part that has since been upgraded. Nissan knows about the issue but refuses to issue a safety or technical bulletin.
At only 60,755 miles I experienced a rear axle seal leak which affected my ability to apply my emergency parking brake. The fluid had leaked so bad that it covered the emergency brake rotor, preventing it from holding.
