New to edmunds and I just bought a 07 titan with chrome package and the wheels look chrome but they are chrome plastic covers. does anyone have these and have you had trouble with them. I have raised cain with the dealership with no luck and I have seen real chrome wheels on other trucks that I have looked at and they look the same but one is chrome and one is plastichrome and the window sticker says the same thing on all of them as far as chrome wheels go. Any input or advice would be great. I have had the truck for 3 weeks and I am wondering if is there is anything that I can do legally to get this made right.

Good luck with your plastic Nissan just avoid anything metal or rock. I think the 2008 Nissan Titan models will be inflatable plastic, just add air and enjoy. They'll probably come with one patch kit in case you get a hole. However, one advantage is you'll be able to goto Toy's R Us to buy a brand new 2008 Nissan Titan.

No luck as of yet I just think if Nissan is gonna do this they should at least put it on the window sticker. I have talked to the dealer and to Nissan consumer affairs and one blames the other for this so I dont think they will make it right. If they cant make it right I think this truck is gonna be sold or traded and I will never buy of refer anyone to buy a nissan of any kind ever. It would be nice if that survey made a difference. I will be honest when I fill it out but it's not gonna be good. If Toy's R Us starts to sell these at least I can return for a full refund as long as I keep the ticket

I highly doubt what you are saying... I have seen the 6 spoke wheels that come with the chrome pkg and they certainly are not plastic... they're chrome plated. If you have any questions related to the Titan, you should go to www.clubtitan.org. There's tons of information on the Titan. Currently, there are about 9,000 members registered.

I believe you. A company with a 54% quartly loss has to make up ground some how. The competetion is too much for them to handel so they probably pawned the orginal chrome wheels and put on some recycled plastic wheels.

In reality, Nissan's profit dropped 54% in the first quarter. That's not a loss. Nissan is envied in the auto industry, the American Big Three would love to be the success Nissan has become. Apparently, you've had some problems with one of your vehicles? Welcome to reality. I now own a Nissan truck, sold my Toyota Van, one of the supposed sludge mobiles. Never happened to me, it did to some others though. Mine had electrical glitches. Others didn't. I'm not going to bad mouth Toyota. And I'm not brand loyal. All manufacturers make fine products, all make some that have shortcomings. That's just the way it is.

A 54% drop in profit is a loss in my book because it means you lost over half of your market share to other competitors. My two Nissans, in which I purchased in 2004 were repaired over 60 times, both lemons. Actually Nissan Titan was rated well below average by consumers report in terms of reliability. So there are differences in brand, and Nissan has developed a poor reliability rating, and poor customer service performance. Bottomline customers are holding Nissan accountable, and they will continue to suffer losses until they develop a quality product with quality service.

It all depends on how you want to look at the numbers my fine feathered friend. #1 Toyota just registered a drop in profits. Big deal.
My business profits can go up or down or sideways quarter to quarter, I'm still very successful.
Phil Edmonston (Lemon-Aid) recommends the 2006 Titan, his highest rating. I put every bit as much emphasis on his writings as I do on CR'S.
Your blanket generalizations make no sense.
My family (immediate and extended) own 4 Nissans dating from 1997 to 2007, and all are good vehicles, costing little to maintain.
Our local Nissan dealer offers good customer service. That is who we deal with. We have no complaints.
That is my reality.

Not me, two Nissans, both lemons, and even worse customer service at both Nissan dealerships in town. I'm talking the worst customer service you could imagine. Basically, ignoring saftey concerns, and not just that but would deny a problem would exist and turn around and call me a lair. Versus honoring the written warranty. Also, when you actually did get them to acknowledge a problem, they wouldn't fix it properly. I remember taking my Nissan Titan in after the instrument cluster lost power while driving and the truck wouldn't come out of drive. They had the vehicle for 3 days ..... "unable to replicate fault" of course they didn't even look at it and just returned it to me. Next thing you know same fault, stuck out in the middle of nowhere on christmas day. I'm glad to see that customers are taking their business elsewhere and Nissan experienced a 54% loss for the quarter.

A 54% drop in profits, not a loss. Nissan is a fine company.
The last time I checked, dealers were independent franchises.
I don't think they like you.
I took my business elsewhere, bought a brand spankin' new Nissan Frontier. Runs like a charm.
Mine is our family's fourth Nissan and we still own all 4 dating back to 1997.
All ( I mean all ) car companies make good products, and some less so.
Of all 7 cars/trucks I've owned, all have been good.
What do you have to say about Ford, or Mazda, or Volvo, or Honda, or Toyota, or a 63 Rambler Classic.
I'm goin' for a drive.
