Heath - It's good to hear Nissan addresses most if not all issues. My assumption is that every line item on the service work order is received by Nissan and thus the issues are logged. That said, when they address these issues, is it only the next year model or are current models updated? I hope the answer is current vehicles get an update!

black-night - thanks, I'm feeling a little better about my Titan now. Funny, and no offense meant to Chevy lovers, but I even used that as a comment to the Nissan service department that if I wanted a new truck with a list of problems like this I would have bought a Chevy (they all chucked at that one).

Speedy - really sorry to hear about all your problems. And to others - some may be due to it being a "new" model, but others are common features that should be working correctly day one on any vehicle they produce - new or old model line. So you have an entry/exit power issue also - this should indicate an implementation bug and not just a single instance and thus we should expect a fix in the future. On #9 - since you have the LE you also have the bed rail extenders (rubber strips on rails on the bottom of bed) - the banging noise sounds similar to mine and those extenders slide back and forth hitting the cab/tail gate. My dealer said they all do it - I just installed a piece of rubber gas line hose in the track at the end of each rail => no more noise! And on #10 the brakes do feel a little softer than I'm used to so this may be just the way they are designed. I also agree with #11 - the brake dust is excessive - I hope it stops soon. Might be worth flagging it as a "problem" just to get it logged with Nissan?

One other new question to fellow Titan owners with Rockford-Fosgate audio system - until I used a CD, I didn't think the subwoofer was working. Is this similar operation to your audio/subwoofer performance?

That said, I still get shits&giggles driving it especially when I need to accelerate quickly. Lots of looks from people and comments. Just wish I could give an unreservered recommendation to this truck.

I'm going to escalate the 29-35mph vibration issue and the power seat entry/exit issue to Nissan Customer Relations on Friday.

Cheers,
dagger
