    Love it, I also own a Titan 2015 pro 4X. At 101,000 km I replaced my forth set of front shocks they would not warranty the fourth set though there is obviously a problem with the Rancho garbage they put on them. Replaced them with bilstiens and have had no issues. Every heatsheild rattles, exhaust fell off, replaced wheel bearings front wheels. Rear brake job from dealership drove to Quebec the next day and heard some grinding noises, removed back wheels and my pads springs sliders and whatever else was in there fell out onto the ground. Had to get flatbedded to Magog Nissan and they where awesome fixed everything properly no charge and in a couple hours, seriously the best dealership I have been to. Sliders weren’t greased ,springs in wrong holes looked like my old pads and rotors where just cleaned up and put back on. This happened at the Smiths Falls Nissan dealership in Ontario. Between my wife and I we have owned 8 nissans and an Infinity, we will never buy a Nissan product after we trade these last 2 in and unless it is a recall or warranty repairs we won’t let a Nissan tech touch our vehicles.
    Always finding ways to fix things myself, this is my third hinge return spring replacement and I will make the shims myself,thanks to your channel.

      I haven't had as many problems with mine but I haven't been happy with dealership service or parts prices. I started doing as much work as I can on my own truck because of it. I tried buying new skid plate bolts and they were $10 each! I bought a box of 100 stainless bolts off Amazon for $20.

      My Titan runs smooth as a Swiss watch. Love it. Previously was a Ford fanboy. Talk about trouble.

    Thanks for sharing. I would hate to give away money for something that should have never broken in the first place. Using garbage to make it work is very fitting for the QC they put into that component.

      No I've never had one off.

    So that stopped the tailgate from making the bumping sound driving over rough pavement?

    Question what did they say was wrong with the airbag because I’m having that same problem and it’s stopping me from getting my 2012 Nissan titan inspected

      Mine was inflator not functioning properly, but there is also one on the emblems becoming projectiles.

      I also drive a 17 RAM daily for work and it has had more issues than my 14 Titan.

    Worst tailgate design ever. Piston is seized in place and hinge also screwed. Bushing are made of Lego. Bought new aluminum bushing and had to hammer in.
