Starting to think Titans are junk

I don't want think it is crap, However!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought ne 2005 Le Crew Cab brand new 3 yrs ago. In the las three months I had both exhaust manifolds replaced, fron differential and now the rear differential. I rarely tow, and I don't abuse this truck. It just seems like it is falling apart on me. Whats going to break next!!!!!!!!!!!! The only "good" this is that it was covered by the power train warranty and I currently have 58,000 miles on it. I don't think I would ever buy another Nisssan again.

I just needed to vent

If it was all covered under warranty, what's the beef?

So, you're out a bit of time in your life. You now have new warranted parts.

And if you think any of the competition is without its mechanical issues, you're deluded beyond help.

Thanks for playing!

The beef is:

1. Parts shouldn't weart out this soon.

2. What if it was over 60,000 miles(no warranty coverage)

I have owned several trucks and I can now say that this is the most problematic vehicle that I have had.

I could see some minor problems, but not three major components breaking prior to 60,000 miles. In the back of my mind I keep on thinking, "Whats Next?"

Looks like it's time for 58000 more trouble free miles!!!!!

If it's crap, then sell the thing. Then your can go over to a Dodge, Ford, or Chevy forum and complain about your Titan you use to own. Oh but if you buy one of those "American" trucks and have a problem, i sure hope a bankrupt company can support the warranty when something fails on your new truck.

check your state's local Lemon laws!

Then i would say get rid of it. pick up one of the big 3 trucks.

*militarydave* · 12-12-2008, 02:43 PM

i concur with the previous posted solution!

haha

That's a lot of stuff to happen wrong to one truck... I'd wonder first how you run it (you said it's not abused) and second if maybe you just got a bad one. Sorry to hear about your issues man.

Yes whenever life craps on me I just post on some random thread on this forum and *BAM* i'm happy again... go figure!

Well that sux! I had my 06 till 80k befor i traded, without a single problem.. And im a young driver who has heavy foot!! Maybe it is a lemon?? had a buddy whos rear diff cra..d out a few times, but then again, their wasnt a stop light that his tires didnt peel out on...And I agree with Boilerup, I wouldnt trust a comny whos close to going bankrupt to honor their warrantys...

I have to laugh when this poor guy comes here to vent about his problematic truck and he gets a rash of crap for it. C'mon...let the guy vent! Al120HP, that's just not the norm to have so many troubles one one truck. I'm on my 2nd Titan and they've been great. Some early trucks, my first one included, had the rear diffs go south until they redesigned the spider gears. Leaking headers have also been mentioned but all is covered under warranty. If you had the rear and front diffs replaced, then you have the newer design and should be ok. Hope the next 60k miles it treats you the way mine has.

I also have a 2005 with 58000 miles and rarely have had issues. I've used it for drag racing more than a few times also. Only issue I had so far was a sensor that went out and cost me $325. As far as the big 3, I would have no issues with buying a new GM. There money issues are brought on by this economy and the unions. Even if they go bankrupt, in the long run it may be better for them...redo the union contracts to better compete with Toyota, Nissan and Honda.
