2012 Nissan Titan problems

“The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the vehicle was diagnosed with a failed front driver's side air bag. The contact was informed that the front driver's air bag needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the air bag warning light had been illuminated for almost a year. The contact stated that previously in 2021, the air bag software was updated under an unknown recall. In addition, the contact stated that in 2022, the front driver's air bag control module was replaced under manufacturer approval at no cost. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 132,172.”

“THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE STOPPED WORKING ON INSIDE OR OUTSIDE CREATING A TRAP. EGRESS CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED BY CLIMBING OVER CONSOLES OR SEATS TO ESCAPE. NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUMS INDICATE THAT LATCHES DO FAIL IN NISSAN VEHICLES.”

“Cracked exhaust manifold leaking fumes into the cabin of vehicle”

“On [XXX], my 2012 Nissan Titan was serviced by Pep Boys in Gainesville, FL for brake-related work. After they returned the truck, the brake assembly was reinstalled incorrectly — the caliper was not secured properly and the rotors were damaged/warped as a result. This failure created an immediate and severe safety risk. My father drove the vehicle shortly afterward, unaware of the problem, which could have led to complete brake failure at speed and a serious crash or fatality. The issue was later inspected and confirmed by a Pep Boys location in Tampa, FL, which documented that the prior service work left the brake assembly in an unsafe, dangerous condition. There were no warning lamps or dashboard messages prior to the discovery of the defect. The unsafe condition was only discovered after the truck was brought to another Pep Boys location for inspection. This defect and improper repair practice by the service provider placed my fathers safety and the safety of others at significant risk. I am submitting this report to document the incident and to ensure that similar unsafe repair practices are investigated and prevented in the future.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS RUSTED AND CRACKED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,000.”

“THE TAIL PIPE ON A 2 1/2 YEAR OLD 2012 NISSAN TITAN PREMATURELY SEPARATED AT THE FLANGE IN FRONT OF THE REAR AXLE. THE REASON THE FLANGE SEPARATED WAS THE POOR DESIGN. THE FLANGE IS POSITIONED TO HOLD WATER, DIRT AND SALT INDUCING CORROSION. ONCE THE FLANGE SEPARATES THE HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST MELTS THE REAR MAIN WIRING HARNESS IN LESS THAN 100 MILES OF DRIVING. THE MELTED HARNESS CAUSES FAILURE TO THE FUEL PUMP CIRCUIT RESULTING IN AN ENGINE STALL SITUATION AT HIGHWAY SPEED, WHICH RESULTS IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKE ASSIST AND ANTI LOCK BRAKES. THE AFFECTED PORTION OF THE REAR HARNESS ALSO CONTROLS THE STOP, TURN AND TAIL LAMP CIRCUITS. THE FAILURE AND RESULTING DAMAGE TO THE WIRING HAS POTENTIAL TO CREATE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION.”
