Here is one that I had. There were actually 2 or 3 threads, but the final solution was in this one. A couple of people said it didn't work for them, but it was a definate fix for me, maybe they mis-understood me or the fix. The guys over at ClubArmada did they same thing and it was a definate fix for them also and they have a couple of pics. here are both threads.

I was trying to limit this thread to Owner solved problems. Things that the Nissan service departments can't, or won't do.

But you do have a good suggestion for a warrenty covered known problems thread. I don't suppose anyone here would want to give it a shot?

:jester: Yeah, right. :jester:

Rear KC door latch sticks

OK for you King Cab owners, you know how the little latch that prevents the rear door from opening while the front door is closed, sticks? And you have to fiddle with the handle a couple of times to get it to open? Mine was doing that, here's what I found.

Inside the mechanism is a small spring that is supposed to flip that lever out when the front door is opened, allowing the rear door to then be opened. There was a light coat of rust on the spring on the drivers side of mine. A couple of drops of light oil got it working smoothly. I did the pass. side just to be thorough.

Just remove the two philips head screws and carefully pull that whole latch assembly out of the door. It has a soft, gummy rubber seal on the back of it that will make it seem like it's not coming off, some careful prying will get it started and it will come off without damaging anything.

Note that you should use some kind of oil (a drop of motor oil will work fine) that will not wash away easily with water, and not something like WD-40 that evaporates and really doesn't leave any lubricating qualities after it's dry.

ucf_motorcycle · Sep 25, 2006

How about something on how to fix the rear axle seals? Mine is leaking and its out of warranty. I know that most of you have the luxury of getting free repairs at the dealership but I'll do most anything I can before I spend several hundred dollars to pay a dealer to fix a seal.

Leprechaun · Nov 28, 2006

Just got my truck a few weeks ago, 07 titan cc le. Everything's worked fine with it so far until I was walking out to my truck this evening and the keyless entry fob thing didn't work. I tried to manually reset it using that procedure on the front page, but I don't see the hazard thing flash at all to tell me it's in registration mode.

Anyone had this situation before?

Cmando4Life · Jan 8, 2007

the rubber sills around my window seem to be a little bit off. so for one when i drive it sounds like my driver door is a little open and sometimes it might leak some water every now and then. The warranty should take care of that right?

Yes they will. I had that problem with mine the first week I owned it and took it back. They had to order a new seal and replaced with no further problems all under warranty.
