Nissan IS recalling 180,664 my 2005-2006 titan, armada and infinity QX56 vehicles manufactured after march 17, 2005, that are equipped with a visteon air conditioning condenser fan motor. The fan motor may not be properly sealed allowing excessive water intrusion and inadequate drainage of moisture.

Certain hopkins aftermarket trailer brake control connection harnesses sold for use on certain models of nissan vehicles which are listed above. the internal part numbers within hopkins are: 1010476025, 1040376025, 1110476025, 1170376025, 1290376025, 1010476035, 1040376035, 1110476035, 1170376035, and 1290376035. a wire may have been placed in an…
This harness would result in power from the trailer brake controller going to the towing vehicle dash light circuit rather than the trailer brakes. this result would be the lack of trailer braking when the towing vehicle brakes were applied. it would also result in the towing vehicles dash lights being activated when the vehicle brakes were applied. the failure of the application of the trailer brake could result in reduced ability to stop and contribute to a possible crash.
Hopkins will notify owners and replace the original harness with a revised harness free of charge. the recall began august 17, 2007. owners can contact hopkins at 800-835-0129.
On certain king cab trucks, the wires in the harness were routed through the rear doors and into the body. these wires may break due to over bending of the harness as the door IS opened and closed. the harness contains wires for the driver seat belt pretensioner and for the front passenger seat belt which IS part of the occupant classification system.…
If the wires for the seat belts and speaker wires break and make contact, there IS a possibility that the pretensioner may deploy. if this happens when the seat belt IS retracted, it will not be possible to use the seat belt. if one of the wires on the right side harness for the seat belt tension sensor breaks, the passenger side front air bag will not deploy as designed in a frontal collision increasing the risk of a crash and personal injury.
Dealers will replace the wire harness cover with a different type that prevents over bending of the harness and the harness will be rerouted free of charge. the recall began on february 19, 2007. owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

My truck just stopped in the middle of the road while driving. I could not move the steering wheel and the engine would not turn over. The gas hand was registering a quarter of a tank of fuel so I did not think that I had run out of gas. After being towed to the shop the mechanic checked the vehicle and said that it was just out of gas but the gas gauge was still registering 1/4 of a tank of gas. Gas was put in the truck and it started right up. The mechanic informed me of a recall on the 2005 nissan titans that matched what was happening to my truck. When I informed nissan they told me there is a recall but that my vin number is not included in the recall. I have had the same incident where the truck just shut off 2 more times now and this should be covered by the nissan recall since this is the exact problem that is happening to my truck that is stated in the recall and my truck is the exact year. Can someone please help me to get nissan to honor this recall for my truck? Recall ID#68290

Transmission wont down shift, stuck in high gear, turn it off and back on and it will shift fine till I stop again
The feel gauge does not show accurate gasoline levels. It does this regardless of speed or whether the vehicle IS stationary. This IS very unsafe as if you were traveling at high speeds and ran out of gas you could cause a crash. The fuel gauge can show you have half a tank but you only actually have a quarter of a tank. There IS a recall for this for another model but not for mine.
I have a nissan north america recall letter addressed to me for recal 06v-459, which IS a airbag light and wiring harness recall on my drivers side. I was charged full price for the recall repair at riverhead nisaan in new york and later found my recall notice and have contacted the dealership and nissan north america and no quality assistance. My recall letter says I am eligible for reimbursements and to contact the national highway traffic and safety administration. I am doing so because nissan IS not helping me. Riverhead nissan has my repair in their system. Attached are photos of the recall of importance. Filed was claimed jan 2021 with nissan north america. Repair happened couple years ago.
Randomly, while driving anywhere I hit the brakes. The wheels almost lock up and I can hear the ABS kick in. Also the brake light IS on the dash. I shut the truck off and when restarts everything IS back to normal.
Instrument panel fuel gauge not properly reading amount of fuel in tank. This caused the vehicle to run out of gas and stall on the city street, which could have caused a crash.
I have had the truck for about 3 years and its getting worse fuel tank IS hard to fill and makes a whistling sound.
NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opened these reviews into vehicles including this one.
On may 30, 2008, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened a preliminary evaluation based on consumer complaints alleging that smoke and/or fire erupted in the engine compartment of model year (my) 2005-2006 nissan armada and titan vehicles.by letter dated june 24, 2008, nissan notified the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) that it will conduct a safety recall (nhtsa #08v284) for my2005-2006 nissan titan, armada and infiniti QX56 vehicles manufactured from march 17, 2005 to august 21, 2006 that are equipped with a 90-watt air conditioning condenser fan.the recall involves approximately 180,664 vehicles.this also includes approximately 5,689 subject condenser fans, some of which may have been installed in my2004 and pre-march 17, 2005 my nissan titan, armada or infiniti QX56 vehicles as a service replacement part.nissan dealers will install a special thermal protector kit on existing fans that will eliminate the potential for a fire to occur.nissan north america, inc. (Nissan) informed odi that the 90-watt air conditioning condenser fan was manufactured out-of-specification allowing for excessive water intrusion and inadequate drainage of moisture that may accumulate in the motor as a result of water intrusion or condensation.if sufficient moisture accumulates in the motor without adequate drainage, corrosion may occur.the corrosion can cause an increase in internal friction and an increase in the electrical current draw, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the motor that could melt its wiring insulation and other plastic components and form a gas.if two wires without insulation touch each other and create a spark, this gas could ignite and result in a fire.the action taken by nissan IS sufficient to resolve the issue raised by this investigation.accordingly, this investigation IS closed.
