The front diff just started making a whine/ growling noise. The Nissan service adviser also stated he is very dissapointed in the Titan line. He said he was thinking about stocking the rear and front diffs because he said they have replaced about 30 front diffs alone already and expects many more to fail... NICE. Anyway this POS 2004 Titan 4X4 SE crew cab with off road package now has a new rear diff, with matching new front diff along with the fix for the brake judder. All with only 61K on it. I would dump this truck except noboby would buy it. I have always taken really good care of this truck. It is completely stock, never rodded it or taken it off road except for the occasional yearly hunting trip. I dont even tow heavy. I am really dissapointed with the quality. I have been a Nissan faithful since I used to be a Datsun Technician back in the late 70's early 80's. Nissan you blew it with the Titan. Sorry.  |
Pretty much sums up my feelings on this truck. Although some of the koolaid drinkers here will flame you for being honest. I have never had a new vehicle back at the dealership as much as my Titan.
I am hoping the replacement parts last as long or longer than the originals. Once it is paid off, good bye Nissan. It is a shame because the content and power were without equal up until every other manufacturer countered with more displacement and cranked up their numbers in their 2008 and up models. Power and content is what put me in a Titan. Reliability is what is pushing me away.
