2006 Nissan Titan Electrical System

These units are being sold at various retailers and deceptively marketed. I purchased one with the warning label defaced. The listing stated it was a bStock item due to cosmetic damage otherwise fully functional. It was only after receiving it did I find the truth of the 2 NHTSA recalls in 2019. https://bigjeffaudio.com/products/open-box-ioxus-12v-group-31-smart-power-bluetooth-car-audio-ultra-capacitor After I brought it to their attention and a little convincing, did they add the disclaimer at the bottom of the listing. To be transparent I purchased the same item, through that specific vendor on eBay. I did capture the listing before they added the disclaimer. Ultimately they refunded the purchase and I sent the item back. The photos explicitly omit the "warning" that has large print ultracapacitor and small print, "follow this link to the the actual warning" Going further the manufacturer went as far as to post a video of an employee throwing the battery, showing that it is completely safe and instructs the viewer to hit up a distributor and go buy one now. I have captured that as well https://youtu.be/-EMm-z_WcPY As I understand it these have been sold for over a year. Big Jeff audio just added a disclaimer. It is one thing to inform the customer and quite another to sell to an unsuspecting person.

VEHICLE WAS OFF, PARKED AND VACANT WHEN THE FIRE WAS VISIBLE, BUT ONLY FOR 10 MINUTES, SO IT MAY HAVE STARTED WHEN IT ON, AND WASN'T VISIBLE RIGHT AWAY.

NISSAN TITAN (36K MILES), 2006 MODEL. THE ABS CONTROL MODULE WENT BAD CAUSING THE CAR SPEEDOMETER TO QUIT WORKING AS WELL AS THE CARS TRANSMISSION TO JUMP INTO AND OUT OF GEAR WHILE ON THE ROAD. CAUSED THE CAR TO SLOW DRAMATICALLY ON THE INTERSTATE AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO NISSAN AT RIVERGATE IN TN (THINKING THIS WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE CURRENT RECALL TIED TO THE EMC, ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE ABS CONTROL MODULE AND IT WOULD COST $1,500 TO REPAIR, WHERE THE EMC COSTS $2 TO REPAIR. MAKES ME WONDER IF NISSAN CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED THEIR CURRENT ISSUE WITH THE CARS ELECTRONIC CONTROLS, OR MAYBE THAT THEY'VE CHOSEN TO TIE THE RECALL TO A CHEAP COMPONENT AND ALLOW THE DEALER TO THEN JIG THE CONSUMER FOR THE HIGHER PRICED COMPONENT. IN EITHER CASE, I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ONCE AT A REPAIR STATION, THEY COULD NOT GET VEHICLE TO START AND I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. COULD HAVE COST ME MORE... IF THE ENGINE WERE OVER CRANKED IT COULD DAMAGE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP. SCARY EXPERIENCE TO HAVE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR
