2011 Nissan Titan problems
The Nissan Titan is a full-size pickup truck manufactured in the United States for the North American market by Nissan. It was named after the Titans of Greek mythology.
First generation (A60; 2003)
Development of the Titan began in September 1999, with design work under Diane Allen. Giovanny Arroba's TA60 exterior was chosen in late 2000, with a final production freeze in July 2001. The design language of the future truck was previewed by the 2001 Alpha T concept shown at the 2001 North American International Auto Show, which had previously developed through November 2000.
Production began on September 21, 2003, and sales on December 1, 2003. The Titan used Nissan's new full-size F-Alpha platform. This new platform was shared with the Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX56 SUVs, with all three manufactured in Canton, Mississippi, United States. The first generation Titan continued without a major redesign through 2015.

Common 2011 Nissan Titan problems
The Nissan Titan, particularly the 2011 model, has faced several common problems based on complaints from its owners. These issues include fuel pump failure, transmission problems, rear-axle seal leakage, and faulty interior accessories.
- Fuel Pump Failure: The Nissan Titan has been known to experience fuel pump failure, often caused by clogged fuel filters. This issue can lead to trouble starting the vehicle and can even damage the catalytic converter, potentially causing the engine to shut down. Drivers have reported hearing whistling sounds from the filler neck while the fuel tank is being filled, which is a common symptom of this problem.
- Transmission Problems: Transmission issues are prevalent in the Nissan Titan, particularly in the 2016 model. Drivers have reported hard shifting, and some have been stranded due to the transmission stopping abruptly during a drive. This problem has affected a significant number of 2016 Titan owners, with no recall made to correct the issue.
- Rear-Axle Seal Leakage: The rear axle seals in the Nissan Titan are prone to leakage, which can lead to transmission fluid leakage. This issue is often caused by a lack of ventilation or overheating. If left unchecked, excess transmission fluid leakage can cause damage to the axle bearings, differential assembly, and transmission system. It is recommended to replace the entire differential assembly to fix the issue rather than replacing only the problematic rear differential or component.
- Faulty Interior Accessories: The Nissan Titan has faced several issues with its interior accessories. The driver and passenger seats are known to shake or separate from the seat frame after only two years of usage. The dash lights on the truck can turn dim in daylight, making it hard to tell which warning is up. Some drivers have also reported a disappearing starter button, smoke wafting out of the engine compartment, loud engine sounds, and busted nail indicators causing rod knock and other sounds coming from the engine.
These issues have contributed to the Titan's poor reliability ratings, with its reliability dropping well below average for the past five model years.
What is the most common problems with the Nissan Titan?
And let's get. Started transmission delay when starting to move forward after coming to a stop many people have noticed a sizable delay. This has led to a number of close calls when overtaking.
Do Nissan Titans have transmission problems?
These are two common Nissan Titan transmission problems, and they're caused by two separate issues. 1: Slipping on the 4-5 shift is typically caused by a failed solenoid, worn transmission bands, or using the wrong type of ATF. 2: Harsh 2-3 shifts are usually the result of a worn clutch pack.
Are there any recalls on a 2011 Nissan Titan?
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.
Is the Nissan Titan a reliable vehicle?
When it comes to reliability, the Nissan Titan is leading the way compared to the Ram 1500. In fact, in 2022, J.D. Power awarded the 2022 Nissan Titan a "Great" Quality and a Reliability score of 85 out of 100.

- VIN: 1N6AA0EC7BN
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: IN 2017 AT 60,062 MILES THE TAIL PIPE CORRODED FELL OFF. A REPAIR WAS MADE AT THE EAU CLAIRE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WERE THE CUT AND CLAMPED IT BACK TOGETHER. AGAIN AS I WRITE THIS THE TAIL PIPE HAS CORRODED AND FELL OFF. I HAVE SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP IN EAU CLAIRE AS WELL AS NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. CASE # 41900823. SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE FILING A DEALERSHIP COMPLAINT BUT REAL ISSUE FALLS ON NISSAN FOR BUILDING AN INFERIOR VEHICLE. A SAFETY THREAT IS POSED WHEN THE RUSTED EXHAUST COMPONENTS FALL OFF AND BECOME ROAD HAZARDS. ADDITIONALLY, IF THE BROKEN TAILPIPE DOESN'T CLEAR THE VEHICLE IT COULD GET CAUGHT CAUSING DAMAGE TO OTHER VITAL COMPONENTS LIKE BRAKE LINES AND/TIRES IF IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I THINK THE EARLY FAILURE OF THE TAILPIPE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE NOT ONLY DOES IT POSE A SAFETY THREAT, I HAVE READ THIS IS AN ISSUE AND NISAN SHOULD NOT BE PASSING THE COMPLAINTS TO ITS DEALERSHIP WHEN THIS IS A DESIGN AND/OR QUALITY OF MATERIALS USED ISSUE.

THE ENTIRE DASH HAS TO BE REMOVED TO ACCOMPLISH THE REPAIR. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THE (BCM) BODY CONTROL MODULE. THIS MODULE CONTROLS ALL THE ACCESSORY ELECTRONICS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE (TPMS, DOOR LOCKS, HORNS, LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, WINDOWS, TRAILER HITCH ETC.) NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE HUNDREDS OF POST ONLINE ABOUT VARIOUS MODELS OF THEIR VEHICLES WITH BCM ISSUES. HOWEVER THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE HUNDREDS MANY THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES THAT DON'T HAVE WORKING ELECTRONICS BECAUSE NISSAN HASN'T DONE A RECALL AND THE PARTS OF TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THE CUSTOMERS TO FIX. MY VEHICLE IS A 2011 WITH 58000 MILES AND NONE OF THE DOOR LOCKS WORK WHEN TRYING TO USE THE KEY FOB. THE TPMS COMES AND GOES WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. I'VE HAD THE SYSTEM REPROGRAMMED AND THE ISSUES STILL REMAIN.

Hey there! I wanted to share that I recently purchased my second Titan on Saturday. I decided to trade in my 2006 Titan SE for a loaded LE with Technology Package. I looked at every full-size truck before making my decision, but the Nissan Titan was the perfect fit for me. Even though I wanted to buy American, I just couldn't find a truck that I liked as much as the Titan. The fact that it's made in Tennessee is just the cherry on top! Also, Nissan is currently offering some amazing incentives that make the Titan unbeatable. Have you considered checking it out?

Hello! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share my experience with the Titan. After my 2005 Titan XE hit 135000, I decided to upgrade to luxury and take advantage of the sale tax credit. I must say, the Titan drives better than any truck on the market right now, including the new Ram. The power is phenomenal, and with about $1500 aftermarket upgrade, you'd have a monster in your hands to play with. I chose the 4X2 model for performance reasons. My last Titan gave me 19-20 MPG at 70-75 MPH. This one has yielded 17 so far due to the 20

As a former Chevy enthusiast, I initially overlooked the Titan due to its age. However, after test driving and comparing it to other models, it became clear that it was the best choice for the money. While the Ford F150 and Toyota Tundra Platinum 4x4 were both impressive, the new Dodge had the best ride. Despite initial doubts about Dodge building a truck for Nissan, the 2010 Titan has proven to be a keeper with its excellent build quality, smooth handling, and no buyer's remorse.

Are you having problems with your 2011 Nissan Titan?
Jaiden Price 2024-04-04
I purchased my Nissan PRO4X super duper four wheel drive in December 2010 to use on my farm. Unfortunately, after 8 months and 22,000 miles, I experienced some issues with the front end suspension, interior, and radiator mounts. Despite these challenges, I am hopeful that the dealership will be able to assist me with these concerns. I have heard mixed reviews from other owners in my small town, but I am confident that Nissan will stand behind their product and provide the necessary support. While the trade-in value has decreased, I am still considering my options and hope to find a solution that works for me. Thank you for your understanding.

After many trips to the dealer for a/c defrost repairs, the issue still persists. Additionally, the sun roof works intermittently. Based on my experience, I would not recommend purchasing this truck due to the numerous problems. There are too many issues to list.
