NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.
Odometer readings owners gave when they filed. About half of all
complaints include one.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

Recalls on the 2004 Nissan Crew
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
I'M LEASING A 2005 ARMADA. I LEASED THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER OF 2004. SINCE THEN I'VE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK 3 TIMES TO HAVE THE ROTORS RESURFACED, THIS WEEK WILL MAKE NUMBER 4. NISSAN HAS INDICATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE THE PROBLEM AND THAT I NEED TO BRING IT IN EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS AND THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON A RECALL. THE CAR SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND IS DIFFICULT TO STOP. AT TIMES IT BOUNCES AS YOU ARE APPLYING THE BRAKES WHICH HAS CAUSED ME TO GO INTO OTHER LANES OF TRAFFIC. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND APPLYING THE BRAKES THE CAR STILL GOES FORWARD EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. I HAVE TO PUT ALL MY WEIGHT DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE IN ORDER TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING. AT TIMES THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I'M IN A PARKING LOT. LAST WEEK I WAS MAKING A 3 POINT TURN AND BACKED UP. THE CAR DIDN'T STOP AND I HIT A POLE. THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY CENSORS ON THE BUMPER AND DAMAGE TO THE BUMPER. I HAVE YET TO ADVISE NISSAN BUT PLAN TO DO SO. I TRIED TO TRADE IN THIS VEHICLE FOR A DIFFERENT NISSAN AND THE SAME DEALERSHIP WAS NOT AS WILLING TO WORK THE DEAL WITH THIS CAR AS THEY HAVE THE PAST TWO CARS I'VE LEASED FROM THE SAME DEALER. IAM ASSUMING BECAUSE IT'S FALLING APART. ASIDE FROM THE MAJOR DEFECT THIS CAR HAS (THE BRAKES). ACCESSORIES ARE JUST FALLING OFF THE CAR, PLASTIC PIECES ARE COMING OFF FROM THE BACK SEATS. MY ELECTRONIC SEAT BUTTONS THAT ARE LOCATED ON THE SEATS BY THE DOORS ARE COMING OUT. THE SUNGLASS COMPARTMENT FELL OFF COMPLETELY. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT
THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE 2004 NISSAN TITAN SE 4WD PICKUPS HAVE ALL FAILED IN EVERY VEHICLE I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TRACK- AT LEAST 3 TIMES. I AM NOW IN FOR A 3RD REPLACEMENT OF THE ROTARS ON THE BACK BRAKES. MY PADS ON THE FRONT HAVE WORN 3 TIMES WITH ONLY 18000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I BELIEVE IF YOU DO A SURVEY OF THE DEALERS' SERVICE DEOPARTMENTS, YOU WILL FIND THAT THE TITANS HAVE ALL BEEN BROUGHT BACK FOR THESE REASONS. THIS SHOULD BE REPORTED AND A RECALL SENT OUT AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AT BEST. I HAVE HAD TWO ACCIDENTS RELATED TO NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP MY TRUCK. PLEASE ASSURE ME THAT THIS WILL BE DELT WITH BEFORE SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY KILLED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. KAYLA JONES

WHILE BACKING MY BOAT INTO ITS PARKING SPOT, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING, I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO UNHOOK THE BOAT TRAILER FROM THE TOW VEHICLE, LEAVING THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN. AS I TURNED THE TRAILER JACK TO LIFT BOAT TRAILER FROM THE TRAILER HITCH OF THE TITAN TRUCK, WHICH IS THE TOW VEHICLE, IT JUMPED OUT OF PARK INTO REVERSE, AND STARTED TRAVELING BACKWARDS. AS I ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE TRUCK AND PRESS THE BRAKE, THE TREE NEXT TO THE VEHICLE CAUGHT THE DRIVER DOOR. BECAUSE I WAS HOLDING ON TO AND USING THE OPEN DOOR AS LEVERAGE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE CAB TO STOP THE VEHICLE, I WAS THROWN TO THE GROUND VERY CLOSE TO BEING RUN OVER BY THE DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. THE DOOR WHILE PASSING OVER ME CAUSED A SEVERE ABRASION TO MY LEFT ARM. AS THE RESULT OF THE REVERSE MOVEMENT OF MY TRUCK CAUSED BY THE GEAR SHIFT JUMPING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, MY BOAT WAS PUSHED DOWN INTO A CULVERT, DAMAGE AT THIS POINT UNKNOWN. INSURANCE CLAIM PENDING; LIABILITY TO NISSAN CORPORATION TO BE INVESTIGATED.

AS THE WARRANTY BEGIN TO END, THE TRANSMISSION WAS MESSING UP SHIFTING ROUGHLY,JUMPING INTO GEAR EITHER WHEN SLOWING DOWN, PULLING OFF, OR EVEN WHEN PARKING. I TOLD THIS TO THE SERVICE MAN AT THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE OF THE MILES ON THE CAR THEY WOULDN'T TOUCH IT. I TOOK THE CAR TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AT A SERVICE STATION AND I WAS TOLD A FLUSH WOULDN'T HELP THIS CAR NEEDS A TRANSMISSION. BEFORE I HAD TALKED TO THE GENERAL SALES MANAGER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HE STATED THEIR WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE, BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I HAVE FOUND A LOT OF DEFECTS WITH THIS CAR, THAT WASN'T FOUND BEFORE BEING SOLD TO ME. I ASKED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THEM ASSISTING ME IN GETTING IT REPAIRED OR TRADING FOR AN OTHER MAX.NOW I HAVE A CAR SITTING AT HOME I CAN'T DRIVE THAT I STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR AND ITS NOT RIGHT.

ON 10/12/07 I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN ON THE INTERSTATE. MY BRAKES TOTALLY FAILED AND I HAD TO COAST AND USE THE TRANSMISSION TO STOP. THEIR WAS MINIMAL BRAKING WHEN I HAD THE PEDAL IN THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR THE BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD AFTER TELLING THE PERSON WHAT HAPPENED THAT MY COMPUTER HAD A GLITCH. IT TOOK HER LIKE TWO SECONDS TO COME UP WITH HOW TO FIX IT OVER THE PHONE. I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY FUNNY THAT WHAT THEY CALLED A GLITCH COULD HAVE KILLED ME AND OTHERS. THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT WHEN I TOOK IT IN. FROM RESEARCH THIS SOUNDS PRETTY COMMON WITH THIS TRUCK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT RESETTING OF THE COMPUTER WOULD FIX IT. IF IT IS THAT SIMPLE THEN NISSAN SHOULD DO A RECALL AND RESET THEM ALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR IS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

IN 2003 I PURCHASE A NISSAN MAXIMA AND THE NEXT YEAR I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE SKYVIEW. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN HEADQUARTERS TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF ME. THE REASON FOR THE RECALL WAS THAT THE GLASS WAS NOT TEMPERED CORRECTLY. MY CONCERN THEN WAS THAT THEY WOULD MESS MY CAR UP ON TOP .AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL MY WARRANTY WAS GOOD. NOW TWO YEARS LATER MY CAR HAS CORRECTION AND THE PAINT IS CHIPPING WHERE THEY REPLACED THE GLASS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE WORK PREVIOUSLY AND THEY SAY MY WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THE PAINT. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT DOESN'T COVER THE PROBLEM EITHER. AT THE PRESENT TIME NISSAN HAS GIVING ME NO HOPE OF FIXING THEIR MISTAKE. MY CAR IS ONLY THREE YEARD OLD AND I LIVE IN TEXAS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE CORROCTION ON MY CAR.MY CAR IS GARAGE KEPT MOST OF THE TIME.
