[LuvMyTitan]

Just wanted to say Hi to all, and am ectstaic at having found this sight, if not a bit overwhelmed. I have found it a bit disconcerting at some of the problems some of you have had, I'm crossing my fingers. My Titan was built in January 2004, has 3350 miles on it. I have my initial service scheduled next Monday. After reading so many of the threads regarding the rear diff (I've been a car guy all my life, know caca about trucks, but I'm sure I will learn), I gout underneath and took off the magnetic plug with a 3/8 ratchet head. The truck had not been driven, so it was a cold check. I was pleased to see the paint on the housing cover is intact, not peeling, not burned off. I was also pleased to see that there were not shavings of any kind attached to the plug, and the color of the fluid was golden and clean. I did have to bend my pinky in a bit to touch fluid, not sure if this was because it was cold. The issues Ive noted so far are; Some trim pieces loose/falling on rear window. Latch on rear bedcompartment, defective, couldnt get it to close, finally did. Havent opened it since. On a sharp turn from a standing start, truck sometimes seems to be bogging down. Feel the beginnings of brake/rotor problems/pulling (brade judder?). Have noticed sometimes hesitation if full throttle (throttle by wire scenario?). Havent used the radio much, mostly play CD'S, but saw from the TSB's that my build would be a candidate for having the radio replaced. Will bring it up with the dealer. And I don't know what the heck the delay is with the Tonneau covers. Got my truck in April, dealer still waiting to get them from Nissan. Having said all that, The Titan was the easy winner compared to all others that I drove, and think I will we a 'truck' guy from now on. What an awesome truck! Am just hoping we've seen the worst of the first year problems, and nothing more serious comes up. Have seen some people mention the transmission, and hope its Isolated problems.
