2006 Nissan Titan Suspension

THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SHACKLE THAT HOLDS THE SPRING TO THE FRAME CRACKED OFF AND SENT THE REAR SPRING UP THROUGH THE BED OF THE PICKUP TRUCK. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN WITH 31,000 MILES ON IT. THE REAR BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING SNAPPED AT THE BEND AND SENT THE ENTIRE LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY THROUGH THE FLOOR OF MY PICKUP BED. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND WILL BE DROPPING THE TRUCK OFF TOMORROW. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. IT SEEMS THAT THE ORIGINAL SHACKLE WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH FOR NORMAL DRIVING. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL REPLACE THE SHACKLE AND TRUCK BED. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN IS LEAKING AXEL FLUID AT 45,000 MILES. I'M TOLD BY OTHER TITAN OWNERS THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR AXEL. IF NOT, THE TRUCK CAN BECOME UNSTABLE WHILE DRIVING. REPAIR SHOP (WHO DOES NOT DO THIS TYPE OF WORK) STATES THAT THE REAR AXEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

THE SPRING SHACKLES ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN ARE DEFECTIVE. ONE BROKE AT AROUND 25,000 MILES AND THE SECOND ONE AT AROUND 40,000 MILES. THE SPRINGS SHOT UP INTO THE BED OF MY TRUCK ON BOTH OCCASIONS DENTING THE BED AND CAUSING ME TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME AND HAD THE SHACKLE REPLACED AND I ASKED IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND INQUIRED IF I SHOULD HAVE THE OTHER SIDE REPLACED THEY SAID NO IT WASN'T COMMON THE SPRING SHACKLES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK, IF THEY HAD BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGHER SPEED I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE IS A BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE REAR LEAF SPRING. THE LEAF SPRING APPEARS TO BE FAULTY AND NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST BRACKET FAILED AND THE CONTACT BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND NO ASSISTANCE COULD BE PROVIDED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN REDESIGNED A NEW PART, WHICH THE CONTACT STATED WAS A MUCH BETTER DESIGN THAN THE ORIGINAL. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE BRACKET WAS ALREADY REPAIRED. CURRENTLY, THE PASSENGER SIDE BRACKET NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 65,000. UPDATED 6/8/09 *CN UPDATED 06/11/09.*JB

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE CAME APART AT THE WELD AND THE BACK OF THE LEAF SPRING PUNCHED UP THROUGH THE BED OF MY TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WAS NOT ACCOMPANIED BY ANY LOUD NOISE OR ANY INDICATION THAT SOMETHING HAD GONE DRASTICALLY WRONG. THIS IS A 4X4, OFF-ROAD/WORK TRUCK. THESE SHACKLES SHOULD NEVER BREAK, LET ALONE ONLY AFTER 3 WINTERS. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I ALSO FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE IS SHOWING SIGNS OF STRESS AND CRACKING. I HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND HAVEN'T HEARD ANY INFO FROM THEM EITHER. I HAVE HAD TRUCK TOWED OUT OF NISSAN DEALER AND HAVE OBTAINED SOME HEAVY-DUTY AFTERMARKET SHACKLES WHICH I PLAN TO INSTALL. *TR

I HAVE A 06 NISSAN TITAN SE 4X4,AND IT SEEMS THE BALL JOINTS SEEM TO BE MAKING A NOISE,ALMOST LIKE THERE LOOSE . I CHECKED THE BOLTS AND THEY WERE VERY TIGHT SO THAT MIGHT BE A RARE PROBLEM. BUT I KNOW IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF IT CAME LOOSE! WHAT SHOULD I DO. *NM

CONSUMER'S 2006 NISSAN TITAN PULLS TO THE LEFT/ RIGHT WHEN DRIVING. *TS THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT ON THE DATE OF PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER. THE CONSUMER HAD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER ON APRIL 12, 2006. AN ALIGNMENT WAS DONE ON THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS RETURNED TO THE CONSUMER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED IT STILL PULLED TO THE RIGHT. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ALIGNMENT WAS DONE TO FACTORY SPECS. THE CONSUMER MADE THE DEALER AWARE THAT THE SPECIFICATIONS WERE DIFFERENT FOR THE 2005 AND 2006 MODELS. *NM
