RF Radio problems

[Albert1234]

The NHTSA complaint web page listed above is supposed to be for SAFETY related problems. You can certainly submit a complaint about the radio, but I doubt NHTSA or Nissan will care.

I just got off the phone with Nissan, and the customer service rep said that they were aware of the problem and that engineering was looking into it. However, he really didn't have any more specific information and said that they didn't know when (or I suppose IF) a service bulletin was going to be issued.

I too am on a quest to find a fix for this crappy reception. My truck has been at the dealer for two days...all I got was "it's supposed to be like that....it's a problem with the radio station, not the radio" WTF?!? I have two other cars that don't have this problem!!! Finally raised hell with the service manager and he called the area rep. The have admitted the problem exists and they are working on a fix.

Let's keep each other informed and keep pressing Nissan....there is no excuse for a $20k+ truck to have this problem!

Has anyone contacted RF about this? Chances are they just put their name on the system and had little do with with design or creation (maybe the drivers, their cheaper models).

But, I bet if they heard how much trouble there was with something with their name on it, they would be VERY interested.

My truck (LE) won't be in until next month but I'm curious if anyone has pulled the radio to see who makes the head unit. A lot of car maker tout Bose, Inifinity, etc. but the head units are still made by the same company who normally does business with that car maker. My 90 Maxima had Bose written on the cassette door and speakers but the head unit itself had a Clarion label on it when you pull the unit out. These companies make speakers and amps, not head units.

Clarion does make the head unit for the Titan as well.

It's either a Panasonic or Clairion unit.
