 I'd like to gripe about tires too but i didnt get VDC with my TITAN.

Give her some time-the aftermarket stuff'll go down in price. my ol'lady wants steps so she can get in the truck "like a lady" so i got cause to buy sidesteps atleast-maybe even get the foglights i wanted.

My gripe about my Titan is.............................................................................................................sorry ain't got a gripe thus far-I'v only had mine for bout 5000 miles- no-recall issues- my local nissan dealer reads these forums so there a little more forth-coming on TSB's and the freebies like the brakes and whatnot!

I know when I bitched about rattles, my wife said, "it's a truck... what do you expect?"

No sympathy there I am afraid.

Get the rattle kit installed at your dealer and that problem will be resolved. That's what I did.

Sure there are going to be some problems. Christ, I owned a 99 Durango and it seems every other week, some $400 part was crapping out -- this of course, immediately after it went out of warranty. If you have rusted parts, rattles, fluid leaks, etc., and you're under warranty - put it on Nissan's hands. They sold it to you, it's under warranty -- tell them to call you when it's fixed!

They did the seatbelt recall on mine last time I was in. I discovered the plastic cover that's over the nut - cracked. Called the guy out - new one ordered on the spot. Also, the red plastic deal on the + side of the battery was cracked. Had the guy order one.

Until that odometer hits 36,000, every crack, noise, leak, rattle, fart, sputter and gasp is on them.

Ditto for the 2004 Murano that sits next to it in the garage, however, knock wood, that thing's been perfect.

PS - just had tech tube nerf bars put on today. A 100% improvement over the Westins!

There is a TSB, and they will replace your in dash with a new one free of charge. Mine was replaced, and now it's great.  I think the problem is more specific to a new factory, more so than a new model.. I have had new model vehicles with not one problem.  Ironic, it was a Nissan.
