I also have a '04 Titan built in 09/04 and I have not had a single trouble with the exception of a clunk when downshifting to 2nd at around 22 MPH (I can easily control this by watching my speed before downshifting). To me it is a minor issue...at this time. I only have 1500 miles on truck so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some of the troubles reported on this board do not show up. I would find it hard to believe that Nissan would not have implemented simple quality control initiatives to fix many of the troubles I have read on this board. By doing this Nissan would actually save money and does not have to go into their pockets to pay dealers for warranty repairs. As for issues that may cost substantial money or redesign, those may have to wait until the next model year. Squeeks and rattles are easier and cheaper to fix at the factory before the truck gets sold, plus I'm sure dealers and owners create a lot of pressure to make this happen. By reading this board and people's issues along with the build dates on their trucks, I suspect that Nissan had put some quality control initiatives in place sometime after May (this is just a WAG, no hard data to back it up). They should have been doing it from day one when they began selling the Titan.
