| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 nissan titan 4x4 that seems to be bugged by parts failures (gremlins as the dealer likes tp call them). The first problem (brakes) happened at about 2 weeks old or 1000 miles. The dealer immediately fixed the problem(so they said). About 1 month later the same problem occurred. Again the dealer fixed it. At about 5 months old (8000 miles) the rear end seems to fall apart. When i brought it to the dealer they said it is a common problem. That when they fix it, they will put the upgraded rear end in, which took about 2 weeks to have done. At about 7 months old (14000 miles) while on vacation in florida, the steering column decided to fall apart, causing me to loose steering and almost crash. Now i had to bring it to a new dealer down in florida (who did not want to take the truck in for repair, but after a long conversation with nissan of north america took it in, for 3 weeks to fix the problem). Now after 10 months (16000 miles) of owning the truck, the rear end has broken again. It is at the dealer once again, where i was told the parts are (vor ordered) back ordered with no date of arrival. I love this truck but just don't know what to do anymore. *nm |
