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.
Transmission cooling lines broke and sprayed transmission fluid all over. Engine would barely transfer power to transmission causing vehicle to barely be driveable. After being towed to dealership, not only the transmission cooling lines needed to be replaced but also the radiator hoses and the high pressure power steering line. Neither of those to my knowledge needed to be fixed when brought in but was told they were cracked or slowly leaking and needed to be replaced. After 2 weeks and 1500 dollars later I finally have my truck back.
Traveling at 10 mph the vehicle went dead. No brakes, steering. Luckily I was able to run it along a curb to stop it. Due to a crack in the exhaust manifold both O2 sensors had to be replaced as well as the mass air sensor. Running up a bill of $ $1700. All due to manufactures poor assembly.
I have an 2007 Nissan Titan SE, and was having issues with the power steering. The engine would make a moaning or whining noise at start up and while idling near the power steering area. This went on for a couple of days. I noticed that the fluid in the reservoir was overflowing so I took it to my mechanic and he informed me that the pump is shot ad needs replaced. I tried numerous times to contact Nissan in regards to the power train warranty to no avail. I would like to know what can be done to find out if its covered, recall etc. My truck has just under 45,000 miles.
I took vehicle to deal for unrelated issue and dealer notified me of a power steering hose leak at the joint, (2007 Nissan Titan) dealer stated it needed changed and would cost approx. $400. This system is sealed, non wearable item with obvious manufacturing defect. Nissan is not being responsible for their product/design quality. On-line search revealed multiple complaints for this issue. Please investigate the manufacturing/design of the power steering system for leaks. A failure of the system could result in serious injury or death.
I own a 2007 Nissan Titan. When I drive the vehicle, the steering wheel feels like it is slipping. It doesn't feel stable even when I am going straight. I'm sure its not the alignment but has to do with the suspension. I have had problems with the steering controls before because last spring during the raining season my vehicle slipped out of control when I was driving straight with the 4 wheel drive on going about 40 mph on the 15 freeway. I felt during that time it was the rain that caused me to slip but after that incident it has gradually gotten worse. I have ask Nissan to take a look but they wanted to charge me $130 just for an inspection. My vehicle has not been in any accidents nor any repair was done to the vehicle since I have purchased it. I feel that this is a very big safety issue and that it endangers the life of my family and also the public.
