The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. While test driving the vehicle, driving approximately 25 mph he heard a ticking sound in the engine compartment. The dealer advised him that the failure was normal. The contact stated that he purchased the vehicle used in August of 2010 and that the failure had occurred since the purchase date. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 87,000 and the current mileage was 94,888.
Failure of cracked manifold exhaust with built in catalytic converter. I have cracked 3 manifold exhaust due to the fact that Nissan did not install flex pipes in their exhaust system. It is happening on all the Titan trucks...look at the forums and my dealer has confirmed it. Exhaust is leaking into the cab area. It cost over $900 to just repair the part. They will not fix it! it is leaking straight exhaust fumes.
I have an '04 Nissan Titan crew cab truck. In earlier part of '09, while driving on the hwy, my engine stalled and went out. Basically I was just rolling on the hwy unaware that the engine went out. I realized my engine went out when I couldn't accelerate or decelerate, and my steering was difficult to handle. The engine wouldn't start after that. It sounded like it would crank, but wouldn't turn, and as if it wasn't getting fuel. Several mechanics couldn't figure out the issue until, I later learned by reading up on Nissan forum online, of similar cases, that it was an ipdm failure. I replaced this part and it worked again. Now, its Jan. 2010, and it went out on me again. This time, luckily I was not driving on the hwy, I was parked and the engine wouldn't start.
Only 65,000 miles on my truck and no modifications. Right rear seal leaking, pinion seal is shot and front left axle needs to be replaced. Nothing covered under warranty. I am looking at a $3,000 repair bill on a 4 year old truck that has never been off road and doesn't have high miles. My exhaust manifold also cracked at about 60000 miles. This was able to be replaced under warranty.
I was driving between 65 & 70 mph and the engine went into fail safe mode and basically ran at idle speed (10 miles per hour). I parked the truck, turned off engine, restarted, it remained in idle speed only, turned off engine and left off for about 15 minutes - it started and ran normal. Dealer replaced ECM. This occurred in May 2007 and then my son was driving today April 2, 2008 at about 45 mph and engine just cut off completely (now at the dealer). This is high risk - imagine turning across a lane of traffic and the engine quitting or pulling onto the expressway and trying to get up to speed and engine quitting.
