Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2008-2011 Titan, Frontier, Xterra, Pathfinder, Armada, and 2008-2009 Quest vehicles. The resin emblem on the driver's air bag cover may develop cracks and detach during air bag deployment.

THE LOWER CONTROL LINK ASSEMBLY HAS TWO CYLINDRICAL COLLARS FORMING THE INBOARD ATTACHMENT POINTS TO THE CHASSIS. DUE TO AN IMPROPER WELDING PROCESS SOME COLLARS MAY CONTAIN WELDS THAT DO NOT MEET STRENGTH
IF THE COLLAR WELD SEPARATES, THE VEHICLE HANDLING WILL DETERIORATE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2009 TITAN, ARMADA, AND INFINITI QX56 VEHICLES. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE MAY INACCURATELY DISPLAY THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY.
THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2010 TITAN, ARMADA, AND INFINITI QX56, AND MODEL YEAR 2008-2009 NISSAN QUEST VEHICLES.

WHILE DRIVING, MY NISSAN TITAN BEGAN TO ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL. I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE MOTOR WAS TOO STRONG. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND THE MOTOR REDLINED AND I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE MOTOR OFF. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAYS THEIR COMPUTER DOES NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I AM WORRIED TO PUT MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE OR LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT. *TR
DEALER DETERMINED THAT THERE IS A READ END DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. *TR
THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK WHILE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT FROM A STOP. *TR
I HAVE A LEAK IN MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND AT THIS TIME NO FUMES HAVE COME INTO CABIN YET BUT DO TO SO MANY PROBLEMS OF THIS TYPE AND WHEN YOU REPLACE THEM THE MANIFOLD ARE CRACKED AGAIN. *TR
