Ink, don't drive it in the rain...problem solved
Titan most problematic vehicle I have ever owned!!
First and foremost I have owned a 240sx, geo Prizm, Honda accord, chevy Malibu, and ford escort zx2. None have had as many problems as the infamous Nissan Titan. I don't know if i have a lemon or what but from the looks of the threads they are all pretty much the same.
2005 se kc bought it a little over 2 years ago with 59k on the clock I am now at about 89600k and here is a list of the problems I have had.
1. a/c drain (poor engineering) caused water leak.
2.split in a seem on my pass side wheel well caused a water leak.
3.split in a seem in rear of cab caused a water leak.
4. back rear window perimeter leaked water.
5. manual slider of rear window seal failed....another water leak and can only be replaced with a whole new window assembly.
6. third brake light gasket (common on trucks) water leak.
7. black tabs on rear corners of roof....another water leak.
all of these have been sealed but some how and somewhere water is still getting in from the upper rear of my truck.
8.transmission went.
9. rear pass side axle.
all of this is not to mention the ****ty plastic used on the interior that cracks in the sun or the a/c smell or any of the popping noises i hear and squeaks and rattles from my suspension.
the one good thing I have never had a problem with (knock on wood) is my engine. SORRY IN ADVANCE, JUST VENTING.

Sorry to hear you've had some problems, but your truck is 11 years old and its a gen 1.
Your doing something wrong. . . . . . .. . . .. . . .. . .. . . . .
the titan is not perfect too. .

Meh, a 11 year old truck shouldn't be leaking like this, period. If I had to take a guess, I would argue that this particular truck was not thoroughly inspected as it was rolled through the production line.Sorry to hear you've had some problems, but your truck is 11 years old and its a gen 1.
sounds like it was rolled over or something
yeah, thats a lot of water leaks, something happened to that truck that they arent telling or reporting to carfax
They definitely aren't all like this, just wanted to clear that one up.
These trucks are actually very solid, I have never had one for more then five years tho.
My 2011 had 110000 kilometres when it was stolen an wrote off, but I can say the only think other then the ****ty rancho shocks that gave me an issue was the score condenser. Fixed under warranty so it was no issue to me. I beat the piss out of that truck an was very surprised nothing went with how bad i abused it.
As far as I can see they are sealed quite well, I had mine through a river with the almost a foot of water abo the titan sign on the door with no water getting in.
Have a 2015 pro4x that seems even better, very tight seal in the cab and much quieter inside.
Sounds like you got a lemon or something, but you'll see that with every brand. That's some sh1t *** luck you have there

This^^^^^^sounds like it was rolled over or something
Its been rolled brother or hit pretty hard somewhere....
... My 2011 had 110000 kilometres.....
I don't want a large Farva, I want a #%^* liter of cola!
(I deal in miles, sorry for the bad joke!)
I'm in agreement with the rollover theory od that truck was very badly beat. My 2005 LE CC is like new and knock on steel ( not aluminum ) I have had no problems other than natural ware items.
Sorry you have had so many issues. I have a 2004 CC with 175000 and bought it with 129000. Other than the exhaust leak I have had no issues.
thats never a bad joke, in any context:big_grin:I don't want a large Farva, I want a #%^* liter of cola!

That's what I suspect , a gen 1 was still having the bugs worked through. Hopefully the new Cummings Xd doesn't present random issues like that.

I have a 05 Le King Cab. I have 135000 on it and have not had many problems. No leaks, no squeaks. I have had to replace a rear driver side wheel bearing, and have had the infamous slip light reoccurring ghost problem but other than that, it has been an awesome truck. Sounds like something bad has happened at some point. Agree with the roll over possibility.
The most problematic vehicle I've had was a 2002 Volkswagen passet, followed very closely by a 2005 Toyota sequoia. Turns out, the passet had an experimental engine, a w8, and the toy had been in a flood, not on carfax. I agree with the consensus, this vehicle has been in some sort of accident.
You purchased a used vehicle. Regardless of brand, used vehicles require maintenance and closer inspection and investigation.First and foremost I have owned a 240sx, geo Prizm, Honda accord, chevy Malibu, and ford escort zx2.

A lot of what you described are known issues. My '04 is running strong after I managed some of the above; probably be good to read the TSB list so that you can get ahead of these types of issues and check for yourself before they become problematic.
162,000 miles here.
