2012 Nissan Titan owner complaints

Connection used between muffler and tailpipe completely rusted away leaving the tailpipe dangling from bottom of truck. This is a manufacturing design issue in which all Nissan titan trucks since original release had a connector piece that is not galvanized for rust prevention welded to the beginning of the tailpipe and the end of the muffler pipe extension. These pieces are then bolted together with bolts that aren't galvanized. The connection pieces are flanged so they hold water and start rusting. The rusting typically starts to completely rust through after the 36 month warranty is over but before 60 months. This design has now been changed on the latest release on Nissan titans (2016 models) Nissan is well aware of the issue and even reimbursed me for a fix of the problem but wo

Tail pipe rusted off at the flange behind the muffler. The design of the tailpipe and exhaust hanger is flawed.

In colder temperatures, the door handles freeze and will not work from inside or outside. The door will also not close as the latch mechanism simply will not engage. This leaves a flapping door that won't close, or if you can close it, you can't reopen it, even from inside. Parked in the cold.

The driver side door handle stopped working on inside or outside creating a trap. Egress can only be achieved by climbing over consoles or seats to escape. Numerous online forums indicate that latches do fail in Nissan vehicles.

On [XXX], my 2012 Nissan Titan was serviced by Pep Boys in Gainesville, FL for brake-related work. After they returned the truck, the brake assembly was reinstalled incorrectly — the caliper was not secured properly and the rotors were damaged/warped as a result. This failure created an immediate and severe safety risk. My father drove the vehicle shortly afterward, unaware of the problem, which could have led to complete brake failure at speed and a serious crash or fatality. The issue was later inspected and confirmed by a Pep Boys location in Tampa, FL, which documented that the prior service work left the brake assembly in an unsafe, dangerous condition. There were no warning lamps or dashboard messages prior to the discovery of the defect. The unsafe condition was only discovered a

Vehicle would not go into gear, service advisor at chapman Nissan, claims that there's a sensor in the shifter that has a tendency to go bad. So the complete shifter had to be replaced. Cost over a $1,000. Vehicle being in a stationary position, after starting vehicle, shifter won't engage.

The tail pipe on a 2 1/2 year old 2012 Nissan titan prematurely separated at the flange in front of the rear axle. The reason the flange separated was the poor design. The flange is positioned to hold water, dirt and salt inducing corrosion. Once the flange separates the heat from the exhaust melts the rear main wiring harness in less than 100 miles of driving. The melted harness causes failure to the fuel pump circuit resulting in an engine stall situation at highway speed, which results in loss of power steering, power brake assist and anti lock brakes. The affected portion of the rear harness also controls the stop, turn and tail lamp circuits. The failure and resulting damage to the wiring has potential to create an extremely dangerous driving situation.
