2008 Nissan Titan problems

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT SIMILAR VEHICLES WERE SUBJECTED TO A RECALL HOWEVER, THE CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS NOT PROVIDED. PALMETTO57 NISSAN LOCATED AT 16725 NW 57TH AVE, MIAMI GARDENS, FL 33055, (305) 521-8297, WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.”

“The exhaust manifolds on the driver and passenger side are cracked. Ticking sounds are made while car is cold and goes away after they have heated up enough, typically after 5 minutes. This results in letting in exhaust fumes inside the cabin, regardless of the air conditioner/heater is on, which leads to being lightheaded and nearly passing out and crashing. The fumes are stronger when stationary but happens no matter what, even after the ticking is gone and driving down the highway.”

“In a low speed wreck (15mph or less) the air bag deployed sending the metal clip, holding the plastic Nissan emblem at the center of the steering wheel, flying. Hitting me right next to my eye at a very high rate of speed. Causing trauma to my eye and surrounding tissue. Missing my eye by less than an inch. If I would have been looking straight ahead instead of slightly to the right where the collision was, I would have lost my eye. How did this manufacturer allowed a piece of metal be installed in front of the air bag is mind boggling. Air bags deploy at speeds of 200mph, launching anything in front of them at that speed. I was very lucky, I hope this agency can warn everyone who owns a Nissan vehicle with this design of a metal clip holding the emblem at the center of the steering wheel. I have photos of the emblem, clip, steering wheel, air bag, and my injury showing exactly how/where the clip hit me by the cuts it left on my face in the shape of the clip. I tried to upload photos but received an error from the website. If you could contact me I would like to send you the photos. They prove without a doubt the facts started above. [XXX]”

“The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Titan. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the vehicle emitted abnormal ticking sounds. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an exhaust specialist where it was diagnosed that the weld joint between the tube and the common mounting plate of the manifold was cracked, allowing the exhaust gas to escape and expand underneath the hood of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.”

“RELAY FUSES(BLACK) BLOWS OUT DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS MAINLY. EVERYTHING STOPS. IT GIVES A WARNING WHERE TRUCK MISSES OR JERKS. DASHBOARD GOES CRAZY. LIGHTS BLINK OFF AND ON. ONCE FUSES ARE REPLACED, IT HAS TO RESET BEFORE IT STARTS. IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS OF THESE ISSUES. REPLACED ENTIRE BOX, BUT IT DOES THE SAME THING. AT CANNON NISSAN, JACKSON, MS PARTS DEPT. WE WERE TOLD THEY SELL A LOT OF FUSES FOR THE SAME ISSUE.”
