| Description of the problem | 2006 nissan titan only 35,000 miles and both exhaust manifolds cracked and were leaking exhaust gases that could not be fed into catalytic converters.. Dealer replaced under emissions warranty since exhaust manifold/catalytic converter are a solid 1 piece unit. They replaced with identical defective pieces that i am positive will crack like the original ones.. Please check online titan forums and you will see it is a very common problem with almost every titan.. My local dealer says they "automatically check every titan" for this issue.. I believe this should be a recall campaign because it is so common and not from driver error/abuse, and once any titan is out of the 8 year/80000 mile coverage it is a very expensive repair totaling over 2,000 dollars! Most titan owners report a ticking sound from under the hood especially under cold start up-i didn't notice this on mine so i had no idea mine were cracked that's why i believe there should be a recall to inspect as many titans as possible for this emissions issue. |
