#554 of 644 Disappointed in Nissan Customer Service by jmj57 Nov 07, 2008 (5:56 pm)
Last week a rim on my 2006 Titan broke. The lug nuts and studs stayed in place, but the rim broke. Because the truck was out of warranty (mine had 46K instead of the 36K warranty number), Nissan said I had to pay. They said that rims break. "Sometimes it happens" said the dealer. The regional rep agreed. Any other Nisaan owners have the same issue? Or others have bad customer service issues with Nissan? We currently own 2 Nissans which we bought new that have the same rims..."That sometimes it happens" that the rims break... Good thing mine broke at 10-15 mph and not 60...otherwise I wouldn't be telling you this today.   I'd never buy another Nissan again...   Comments anyone?

I have a 1997 Nissan PU with 105,000 miles on it. It has been a good truck, I have had problems lately in getting any power when I have to downshift to go up a hill. It seems that I am constantly in fourth gear even when I down shift say to second. No power to go up the hill. It seems that it will not engage first or second grear.

#556 of 644 95 Nissan pick-up won't start by byrd2 Nov 17, 2008 (9:46 pm)
Hi,   My sister has a '95 Nissan, as I recall, small pick-up with the 4 cylinder engine in it. It would only start and barely run with no power after I replaced the plugs, wires, distribuitor cap, and rotor. Cylinder compression is good, adn fuel pressure is also good. After replacing those tune up components, I hgot it started only after setting turning the distributor up against on of the stops, counterclockwise. But as soon as you put it in gear, the engine would die. Hence no power. It has a timing chain, and has 160,000 miles on it. Could it be any f the camshaft/crankshaft position sensors have failed? Or the ignition module, as no check engine light comes on? Or a stretched timing chain, or bad tensioner. It sort of did make a racket from the fron of the engine. A broken timing chain would not allow the engine to start at all, but a loose one would sure throw everything off. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Replying to: kemojr (Nov 07, 2008 6:28 pm) It sounds like your timing chain has jumped a few teeth. This usually happens on the Nissan Pickup during the startup of the engine. You will hear a loud rattle as the chain tensioner inflates with oil pressure. During this time of low oil pressure, the chain is somewhat loose. If your guides are worn or broken, it will allow the chain to jump the sprocket and knock the cam out of time with the crankshaft. If you check your timing it will indicate good but actually the valves are out of sync with the firing of the pistons. The only fix is to replace the timing chain and guides with a good QUALITY replacement kit. Don't do as I did and buy a cheap kit, you will just end up doing it all over again in a very few miles......   Good Luck! Gary
#558 of 644 Nissan 4x4 190,000 plus miles by ivantherussian Nov 21, 2008 (9:59 pm)
My truck is a 1989. It runs fine. I work on it some here and there. The shop has done bigger repairs. I have replaced some parts on it. What kind of track history do these vehicles have? It was tuned up in the shop and the compression was acceptable. Mine has the Z24 Engine with the 5 speed.. The engine, clutch, and transmisson are original. It has been a very dependable vehicle, but I am thinking and wondering should this vehicle be replaced?

Replying to: ivantherussian (Nov 21, 2008 9:59 pm) I'd say they have a fairly good track record. My cousin had one and he had it 'till the body just wasn't any good anymore. I would seriously condsider checking the clutch for wear to see if it needs to replaced, and if so, replace it. And if the body is still decent, and with today's economy, you should probably keep it. 'Cause gas will only go back up, etc. I had a 1992 Ford F-150 I would have kept if the body was in very good shape. It had 260,000 miles on the engine and it showed it. It only ran on 7 cylinders, and the manual tranny had some flukes, but it started every time. I just didn't want to put the money in it, 'cause the body was so bad, and you'd never get your money back out of it. But it was paid for, and everything worked on it.

#560 of 644 1991 Nissan Pickup Distributor cap problem... by Greycat Nov 22, 2008 (5:36 pm)
Total newb here. I replaced the distributor cap on my 4 cylinder 1991 nissan pickup. Wasn't paying attention when I took it off and I'm not sure which way to put it BACK. There's a total of five ports for the spark plug wires. Four make a box and then the fifth in the middle. Theres also a little 'nub' that I'm not sure goes on the top or bottom. The manual I have doesn't show how the cap goes on for my model. So I'm not sure which way to put it on, not to mention I now have to get the firing order right and I have NO IDEA how to do that. Theres a number '1' on the cap itself, but I'm not sure where the one starts. If anyone has any info or photos of what it's supposed to look like, I'd greatly appreciate some advice!

Replying to: byrd2 (Nov 21, 2008 10:51 pm) It runs and suits my purposes. It is beat up pretty bad. It totaled in 2000. The bed box is pretty ugly. The speedometer does not work very well; it is sticky. I have spent some money on it but for normal stuff and minor stuff to keep it running. It still gets 25 mpg on the freeway, even 30 at 55mph. The beautiful thing about this truck is that cant hurt anymore. I have thought about taking the bed off and placing a flatbed on it, that would remove 95% of the body damage. Do you think I could find a flatbed used from a junkyard with some sort of nationwide parts search to fit this truck?

Replying to: ivantherussian (Nov 21, 2008 9:59 pm) I have an 86.5 2 x 4 with 187,000. Also with Z24 and 5 speed and original engine, transmission and clutch. Like you have done most of the minor maintenance myself. Has a starting issue on warm rainy mornings when parked outside, but otherwise still running fine every day. Paid for and still averaging 23-25 mpg. I plan to keep it running. Have known two individuals with 300,000 on the original engine that 'outlived' the body. My daughter in college is driving a 94 Altima with 150,000. My experience with Nissan vehicles has been very positive. Replies to this message: wise1 (Dec 03, 2008 10:55 am)

Replying to: plantpotter (Nov 24, 2008 9:20 am) ny water or condensation in the dist. cap could be a problem. I have an 1986-1/2 pickup with the 2.4i engine and would like to know if any of you have had a problem with the engine not downshifting when you floor it for passing?? It's an automatic tranny of course but it bucks like a wild horse when you try to pass a slower vehicle. This truck only has 70000. miles on it and it was my late fathers truck so I'm trying to get things worked out little by little. Also what brand of brake shoes work well on this truck?? The brakes squeel when they are applied.
