What owners report
The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for tire repairs and was advised that an alignment was needed. The contact stated that the vehicle was then taken to a dealer where it was determined that the alignment could not be performed because the required bolts were missing. The alignment was not completed, and the vehicle was not repaired. The contact believed that the vehicle was sold with the missing parts. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.
The truck was parked on hill and as I unlocked it, it rolled down 2 blocks. Hit a brick wall and finally went into a yard and hit a parked car. This is the second time this truck has rolled down. First time, I was able to catch it but this time I couldn't. It was horrific to witness.
NHTSA I own a 2021 Nissan Titan. I am deeply concerned that I have defective Air Bags. I have had 2 collisions in my vehicle at high rates of speed and none deployed either time. I now fear that this vehicle will not protect me in the unfortunate case of another collision. I do understand they will not deploy under every condition, but I do expect additional protection outside of a seatbelt in a collision at a high rate of speed. In the first Collision, I was going 45 MPH. I had injuries to my neck and back. I had extensive work done to the suspension, drivers door, headlight, fender, bumper, grill, and the hood. In my second collision, a deer ran into my truck while I was traveling at 70 MPH. The head of the deer damaged the headlight and wiring harness, the bumper, grill, and hood and its body heavily damaged my passenger front door and fender. …
Factory missed weld on stabilizer bar link bracket on chassis was replacing the bushing due to the clunking noise and discovered the bracket completely tore off the chassis frame structure Nissan consumer affairs is refusing to buy back the vehicle when the vehicle was sold with a damage chassis frame after being inspected multiple times at gun Nissan on Broadway in San Antonio Texas gun Nissan technicians did 100% multi inspection and told me the vehicle was 100% clearly they missed the weld and sold me a certified pre-owned vehicle now Nissan consumer affairs is refusing to buy back my vehicle or replace the frame due to aftermarket parts I put that same day I took it to the dealer when I discovered the missed weld
The vehicle started exhibiting very loose steering behavior and a "clunking" noise from the front end. The steering wheel has play from 45deg turned to the left to 45deg turned to the right without affecting the direction of travel. The stability control would attempt to keep the vehicle moving in a straight line when turned to the left or right, regardless of speed (<25mph - 70mph) on dry, warm roads. When the stability control attempted to keep the vehicle moving straight through a turn, it was necessary to quickly apply the brakes to keep the vehicle from leaving the road surface. The vehicle in question had between 1500 and 2500 miles during this time.
Pro comp lift kit was installed by dealership. In January 29, 2018 while traveling at about 20 MPH on a flat, paved, residential city street, a "nut/bolt" came off, causing the suspension to collapse. This caused the vehicle to become incapacitated, when left rear tire was pushed into rear wheel well. There are also issues with front left tire rubbing against wheel well and "slipping" when turning to park.
While making a left hand turn onto my street I heard a loud popping sound from the right front side of my truck. While driving my truck the following week, the popping sound while turning and then squeaking started to get loud enough as to where people around the truck could hear it. I then took the truck to the dealership only to find that the strut tower bracket had separated from the frame of the pickup. I saw the damage myself and it appeared that the strut bracket was only tack welded in place. My insurance company claim was denied as there is no collision or comprehensive damage. The insurance company has claimed it to be metal fatigue due to faulty frame manufacturing. Nissan consumer affairs is working the issue on one end even though I was told by the service department the district rep said they won't work it because it is out of warranty. …
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 Nissan Titan. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle began to bounce violently. The contact was able to continue driving.

The four tires were rebalanced and a shim kit was installed. The failure recurred after the repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem in which there were no resolutions. The approximate failure mileage was 2,400.
