Nissan: Couple Problems that I have noticed about my Titan...

Couple Problems that I have noticed about my Titan...
I have a Titan SE Crew 4x4, power captains, and bed package. I have had it for about a month and it has less the 1000 miles on it. At 900 miles I noticed that when you turn on the heat to the 2 or above setting, A high pitched humming noise comes from the vents. Also, the plastic part of the tailgate on the right side below where the keyhole is is starting to come apart from the rest of the tailgate. The non key side is firm, but the key side is loose. Anyone else having any Titan problems?

Devin James Gray:
It sounds like your problems could be solved quite easily, and under
warranty.
I have the same beast, 600 miles. The only problem so far is that the
heater only puts out serious heat with the switch in the "MAX AC"
position. If I set the temp at its highest setting and turn the "Air
flow control dial" to the foot-well position my legs and feet freeze.
We've had very cold temperatures in Maryland daily since I bought the
truck, and this is a problem. I compare this to my trusty '91 Toyota V6
Xtra-Cab, where the heater will set your socks on fire if not turned
down a bit.
As for the bed, I have the sliding bed divider, the tray (or "bed pan,"
as I call it), the bed extender, and the sliding overhead rack. This is
waaaay too much junk! I've already removed the "bed pan," but I haven't
figured out how to remove the plastic tracks to which it mounts, which
will soon get broken, I'm sure. They don't slide out because they hit
the tailgate, which is higher than the bed when open. And the bed
divider's travel is very limited by the overhead rack. Something's
gotta go, but I won't know what until I get to know the truck a bit
better -- and the weather warms up enough that I can go outside and
stare at it for a bit.
Smooth sailing!

This sorta makes sense because until you go to max/AC you are trying to heat
cold outside air.
This is not normal. It should be "less hot" but I can't imagine it should be
cold. I rarely keep my vents open to the outside air on any of my vehicles so
I don't notice how cold it gets when the heater is on.

Hmmmm. Unless I misunderstand the controls (and unless they work
differently to those used in other vehicles with which I am familiar),
I can select "Recirculate" via the pushbutton in the center of the Fan
Speed Control Dial without regard to position of the Air Flow Control
Dial. Am I mistaken?
Yes, I know it's not normal! That's why I posted it in response to the
OP's question "Anyone else having any Titan problems?"! But--repeating
myself--as far as I know, my vents are not open to the outside air,
either. No nastisness intended--if my understanding of the
"Recirculate" button is incorrect, I want to know about it!

Hi,
my heater is nothing to brag about either. It seems to take .5hr. before it
really gets warm. It's noisy as well. Sometimes it lets off a hiss every
minute, like one of the air motors is releasing excess vacuum.
No exterior problems but a bit of loose weatherstrip at the bottom of the
rear pass. door (king cab).
Lemmee know if you want to sell the racks! I could use them, and I'm not too
far away.

You are about to learn what I learned. I noticed that when driving behind some
stinky diesel or oil burning vehicle I still got a lung full of sick air even
when the recirc was on. It was noticible in heat and off but especially
noticible when in defrost position.
I called Nissan and was told that by law even though the recirc is on, there
must be some outside air coming in. I hate this. No vehicle is completely
airtight so this should not be needed.
We have a trash pile along the interstate that stinks especially when the wind
is blowing certain directions and when I drive by I cannot shut it off.
I could with all my other vehicles.
