Anyone regret their purchase?

TitanDogg · 05-19-2004, 08:49 PM

I have an '04 Titan Extended cab 2wd. I just found this site today. My Titan has a little over 6,000 miles on it and boy do I regret it. I did test drive it before buying and everything seemed great. A little over 1000 miles is when the problems started. First thing was warped rotors, dealer fixed that under warranty. Then came stalling, I really have to put some muscle on the shifter to shift with the truck occasionally stalling. The truck squeaks and rattles like crazy. The dealer has yet to find the stalling, shifter, and noise problem. I'm not sure, but the breaks are starting to pulsate again and I hope they're not warped again. And last, I don't know if it's just me, but the more miles I put on it, the steering wheel seems to get more off center, very little though. I really regret buying this truck. I plan on keeping it until the warranty runs out and then it's gone. Does anyone else regret their purchase? Has anyone else had the same problems as me? I've been reading this forum all day and am getting real scared because of all the problems I've been hearing about.

No Regrets!; I love the truck! The only negative issue i have dealt with is the crappy radio reception...

Other than the radio, I feel I made a good purchase.

No regrets here. Several trucks before and this is by far the best truck I've had. Hang in there, hopefully things turn around for you.

None here either. HAve I said it lately? "We Love This TRUCK!"

(That from me and my wife Belle's Titan)

What exactly is your shifter doing? I had an issue with my shifter, sometimes when going from drive to park it would get stuck in neutral. Is this what yours is doing? Other than the shifter and the radio reception, I haven't had any other problems and truly love this truck.

I love my truck. I have had none of the problems you or anyone else have had. I think I got one made on a Wednesday by a team of specialists that had Sr. Mgmt looking over their shoulders.

I too have a regret, and that is not buying it sooner. No problems - just like my last Nissan truck. ~4K miles and the only problem I have is that the FM Stereo doesnt sound very good. Plus going from a Subaru to the Titan is quite an adjustment - although I haven't backed into anything in a while... If you're that nervous you need to get out of it. Fish or cut bait, you know?

Love mine. No problems other than the radio issue. [/knocks on wood]

My shifter is just hard to move, as if something is holding it back. It wasn't always like this though, it started to develop it at around 1500 miles and has gotten worse as time passes by. The dealership is nice though, they try everything in their power to make me happy, the truck on the other hand isn't making me happy.

Love the truck. Really. No problems except the Clarion Rockford And Panasonic radio issue.

If I could afford it I would buy another and have two.

Maybe a KC to go with my Smoke CC.

In Red Brawn or Deepwater, the Silver is nice, no, wait, Black, all clean and shiny like a mirror. Don't see too many Sedonas around, just to be different. .. . .

Hmmmmm. Maybe I could have three. Did I mention white?

Radio sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THE TRUCK!!!

Smokewagon · 05-19-2004, 11:39 PM

No regrets! Love this truck!! I am right their with rrumaner, not a single issue so far with this truck. Not even squeeks or rattles, but maybe I don't notice them because I seem to have one of the few working radios.

Stalling?? Isn't engine trouble getting in to Lemon Law territory?

Best of luck
(and I wouldn't keep driving a stalling vehicle just because it's under warranty)

I love the Titan. I have the radio issue and warped rotors. few small problems that were taking care of. I still have this big smile on my face when I get in. I haven't riden my motorcycle as much lately.
