| Description of the problem | The vehicle ( a 2004 nissan titan) has 30 thousand plus miles,carefully maintained (no salt) and was pulling a 7500 pound boat on pa i-79 when it lost all power,including all lights (including rear and hazard) . This resulted in a fire which totally disabled the entire vehicle. The tail pipe had fallen off and burned dozens of electrical wires. This manufacturing defect has been reported numerous times on the net and to dealers. It should strongly be noted that had the same incident occurred on ny i-90 where there is no safe place to pull off or at night anywhere, many lives would have been lost.
