REAR AXLE IS LEAKING OIL FROM IT. ITS GETTING THE REAR BRAKES WET, WITH THE OIL IS MAKING IT HARDER TO STOP. I FIRST NOTICED THIS THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT BECAUSE I COULD NOT STOP. MY NISSAN TITAN IS A 2006 XE. 74500 MILES. I HAVE ONLY TOWED A TRAILER WITH THE TRUCK A HAND FULL OF TIMES AND NEVER EXCEEDED 5000 LBS OF TRAILER WEIGHT WHICH INCLUDES THE WEIGHT OF THE TRAILER. THERE IS ALSO A TOW PACKAGE INSTALLED IN THE TRUCK. I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING IN TO PARTS AND PRICES OF REPAIRING THIS LEAK. IF THIS COULD CAUSE BRAKES TO FAIL HOW COME THIS ISN'T A RECALL? AND IF IT DOES BECOME A RECALL WILL THEY ALSO COVER ANY PAINT DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR FROM THE OILS ON THE TAIL GATE? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
2006 NISSAN TITAN SE KING CAB 4X4 OFFROAD BIGTOW. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON MY TITAN CRACKED AND 3 SEPARATE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WOULDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE MANAGERS WOULD CLAIM THAT THEY DID NOT OR COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THESE PARTS ARE COVERED UNDER THE 8 YR/80,000 MILE LONG-TERM EMISSION SYSTEM DEFECTS WARRANTY AND MY TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 69,XXX MILES. THE 3 VISITS TO THE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS SPAN FROM WHEN I GOT THE TRUCK IN 2009 TO 2011. ON MY OWN DIME, I HAD A SHOP REPLACE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND THEY CONFIRMED BOTH WERE CRACKED. I HAVE THEM SITTING IN MY GARAGE FOR FURTHER PROOF. I'M CONSIDERING MAKING A CLAIM W/ NISSAN HQ BUT I KNOW IT'LL BE IN VAIN. THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS OF CRACKED MANIFOLDS ONLINE. MAYBE THIS WARRANTS A RECALL OR NISSAN CAN PRESS THEIR DEALERS TO HANDLE THIS IN A MORE PROFESSIONAL MANNER. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN SE KING CAB 4X4 OFFROAD BIGTOW. THE DRIVER'S SIDE LEAF SPRING SHACKLE UNRAVELED AT THE WELD AND THE LEAF SPRING SHOT THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE BED AND CREATED A BIG HOLE. I CONTACTED NISSAN HQ TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK PRE-OWNED W/ 44,XXX MILES. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES ONLINE AND ON THE NHTSA SITE. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE WEAK SHACKLES FOR MODEL YEAR TITANS 2004-2007 BECAUSE THEY REDESIGNED AND STRENGTHENED THE SHACKLE IN 2008 AND UP MODELS. I HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACE THE SHACKLES W/ 2008+ TITAN SHACKLES AND PLUG/WELD THE HOLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NISSAN TITAN (36K MILES), 2006 MODEL. THE ABS CONTROL MODULE WENT BAD CAUSING THE CAR SPEEDOMETER TO QUIT WORKING AS WELL AS THE CARS TRANSMISSION TO JUMP INTO AND OUT OF GEAR WHILE ON THE ROAD. CAUSED THE CAR TO SLOW DRAMATICALLY ON THE INTERSTATE AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO NISSAN AT RIVERGATE IN TN (THINKING THIS WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE CURRENT RECALL TIED TO THE EMC, ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE ABS CONTROL MODULE AND IT WOULD COST $1,500 TO REPAIR, WHERE THE EMC COSTS $2 TO REPAIR. MAKES ME WONDER IF NISSAN CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED THEIR CURRENT ISSUE WITH THE CARS ELECTRONIC CONTROLS, OR MAYBE THAT THEY'VE CHOSEN TO TIE THE RECALL TO A CHEAP COMPONENT AND ALLOW THE DEALER TO THEN JIG THE CONSUMER FOR THE HIGHER PRICED COMPONENT. IN EITHER CASE, I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK, THE REAR PINION SEAL WAS REPLACED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS FAILED AGAIN AT 72250 MILES. I AM HEARING SOME PLAY IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, CAUSED BY LACK OF OIL FROM THE LEAKING SEAL. IT TOOK AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FLUID TO REFILL THE DIFFERENTIAL, TELLING ME IT HAD BEEN LEAKING FOR A LONG TIME, THE SECOND TIME. FAILURE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL WOULD MEAN A ROADSIDE BREAKDOWN OR A VEHICLE CRASH. MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT. *TR

I NOTICED THAT MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN WITH 54,000 MILES WAS LEAKING OIL FROM THE RIGHT REAR AXLE THE OTHER DAY. I CALLED MY NISSAN DEALER AND HE TOLD ME MY WARRANTY ENDED IN JANUARY AND THE REAR AXLE SEALS WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THE DEALERSHIP KNEW ALL ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAID 450 DOLLARS. THEY CALLED IT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THEY OFFERED EVEN TO SELL ME A NEW TITAN. I DECLINED. I HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED WITH A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR 300 DOLLARS. AFTER FIXING MY TITAN, I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2004-2008 NISSAN TITANS. I FOUND THAT EVEN AFTER YOU REPLACE THE REAR AXLE SEAL, THE PROBLEM OCCURS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. NISSAN SHOULD MAN UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PROBLEM. I EVEN FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED BY NISSAN ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. SO THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY LOCAL MECHANIC TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY THAT THE LEAKING OIL DIDN'T GET INTO THE BRAKE PADS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
LEAKING MANIFOLD; THIS PART WAS RECALLED BY NISSAN BUT UPON COMPLETION OF FORM, I WAS INFORMED THEY CALCULATED THE MILEAGE TO BE BEYOND THEIR WARRANTY. THE LEFT SIDE MANIFOLD WAS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. NOW THE RIGHT MANIFOLD HAS CRACKED ALSO AND IS LEAKING EXHAUST FUMES. NISSAN IS AWARE THAT I HAVE THE LEFT SIDE MANIFOLD FOR THEIR INSPECTION AND THEIR LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, CONFIRMED THE RIGHT IS ALSO CRACKED. THIS IS A DANGER AND DEFINITE HAZARD DUE TO THE EXHAUST FUMES AND POSSIBLE FIRE YET NISSAN HAS DECLINED ANY ASSISTANCE IN REIMBURSEMENT OR ASSISTANCE IN REPLACING THE RIGHT SIDE MANIFOLD DUE TO THEIR CALCULATION THAT THE MILEAGE WAS BEYOND THEIR WARRANTY COVERAGE. I COULD NOT FIND RECORDS AS TO THE MILEAGE WHEN I REPLACE THE LEFT MANIFOLD. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME WHEN HE REPLACED THE LEFT SIDE MANIFOLD THAT HE WOULD EXPECT THAT THE RIGHT TO DO THE SAME.

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SUSPENSION
I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT AND HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH IT UP UNTIL NOW. LONG STORY SHORT; I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLOSE TO WHERE I LIVE (STANLEY NISSAN) TO GET A RECALL DONE ON IT AS WELL AS HAVE IT LOOKED AT FOR MY ABS AND SLIP LIGHTS BEING ON CONSTANTLY AS WELL AS MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WHICH WAS ON BEFORE. A FEW DAYS BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT MY TRUCK STARTED DRIVING WEIRD AND DISENGAGING ITSELF OUT OF 4WD AND I WOULD LOSE CONTROL AT TIMES OR MY TRUCK WOULD STOP GOING FORWARD AND WOULD START TRYING TO GO SIDEWAYS, BUT THE RPM'S STILL WENT UP, BUT TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCEL FORWARD. IT ALSO STARTED MAKING A BANGING NOISE IN THE REAR, ALWAYS SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE. DROPPED IT OFF AT DEALERSHIP AND HEARD FROM THEM THE FOLLOWING DAY. SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT MY REAR BRAKE SHOES HAD BROKE AND SPUN AROUND IN THE BRAKE HOUSING AND DAMAGED MY BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, ROTORS AND THEN MADE IT INTO MY REAR AXLE HOUSING AND DAMAGED MY ENTIRE REAR HOUSING AND DIFFERENTIAL. I AM A MECHANIC MYSELF AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT PIECES FROM THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT INSIDE AN ENCLOSED REAR HOUSING ASSEMBLY. THEY TOLD ME I NEED MY ENTIRE REAR AXLE AND DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED ALONG WITH OTHER PIECES FOR THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY AND REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT ALL OF THIS WAS CAUSE BY BRAKE SHOES AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHICH I NEVER USE. THEY ARE QUOTING ME $4,200 FOR THE REPAIRS AND WON'T COVER ME UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I AM STILL UNDER 60,000 MILES AND I CAN'T BE COVERED BY MY PLATINUM PACKAGE EXTENDED WARRANTY AS WELL WHICH COVERS ME UP TO 100,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN ON NUMEROUS SITES WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THE FACT THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO WORK US ALL OVER AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP HONOR THE WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH THIS MANY REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS. *TR
