Some Nissan Titan owners report experiencing persistent vibration issues despite multiple attempts to diagnose and resolve them. These vibrations are often noted around 45 mph and have been linked to inherent problems with the torque converter in certain models, such as the 2008 Titan. In cases of severe engine vibrations, some owners find it necessary to manually shift to keep the revs above 2,000 rpm, suggesting potential engine-related concerns. Vibration problems have also been reported at various speeds, including 25-30 mph and 60-65 mph, with some owners installing tapered shims to correct the pinion angle as recommended by Nissan representatives. Additionally, replacing tires has been suggested as a remedy for vibrations, particularly at higher speeds. However, some owners note that even after driveshaft replacements, vibrations can persist, indicating that standard maintenance may not fully resolve the issue. Successful resolutions have been achieved by "clocking" the rear driveshaft, which alleviated vibrations after other methods failed. There are also concerns about potential transmission issues, with reports of visible metal debris in the transmission and worsening vibrations at low speeds, necessitating further inspection and repairs to prevent future failures. Given these varied experiences, it is advisable for owners to explore different diagnostic and repair options, consulting knowledgeable mechanics or Nissan service centers familiar with these recurring vibration issues to identify and address the root cause for a smoother driving experience.
