I HAVE NOTICED MY REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING FOR A WHILE AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE. I HAVE NOW RECENTLY NOTICED WHEN I USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE AND REAR BRAKES THEY HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE LEAKING FLUID. I WAS WONDERING IF THIS IS AN ISSUE THEY SHOULD ADDRESS, OR IS IT JUST REGULAR MAINTENANCE. I HAVE BEEN READING FORUM COMPLAINTS ABOUT PEOPLE WITH THE SAME TRUCK AND THEY HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM LOW IN MILE. MY TRUCK IS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN SE CREW CAB 4WD. I HAVE NOTICED THE SEALS LEAKING SINCE ABOUT 40K MILES AND NOW HAVE AROUND 56K. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STEERING
I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 CREW CAB SINCE DEC 2006 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHILE BRAKING. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER IN 2008 MILES 10, 850 THEY TURNED THE ROTORS AND APPLIED GREASE. TOOK TRUCK BACK TO DEALER ON JULY 9TH 2010 AND THEY AGAIN SAID ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 27,980 MILES. THE SERVICE MAN SAID THE ROTORS WERE NO LONGER COVERED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HAVE ROTORS TURNED. I WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE GOOD FOR 30,000 MILES. I THINK IT'S STRANGE THAT THE ROTORS NEED TO BE TURNED EVERY 10,000 TO 15,000 MILES. SERVICE MAN ACTED LIKE THIS WAS A COMMAND THING AND THAT IT WAS THE DRIVERS FAULT NOT THE COMPANY'S. I ASKED ABOUT RECALLS AT THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT ME I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE DEALER SINCE. NISSAN NEEDS TO SEE THIS AS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND MAKE A RECALL. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
I PLACED MY TRUCK ON A LIFT TO INSPECT THE UNDERBODY AND CHANGE MY OIL. DURING THE PROCESS, I SAW LIQUID STREAKS DOWN THE INSIDE OF MY LEFT REAR WHEEL HUB AND ROTOR. I HAD DETERMINED THE REAR AXLE SEAL WAS THE LEAKING CULPRIT, ENABLING AXLE FLUID TO DRAIN ONTO THE WHEEL HUB AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY. ALTHOUGH BRAKE PERFORMANCE WAS NOTICEABLY DEGRADED, THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BECOME FAR WORSE. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SEAL ASSEMBLY, BUT I AM NOT CONFIDENT THIS WILL CORRECT THE ISSUE. NUMEROUS INCIDENTS SIMILAR TO THIS NATURE HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON NISSAN TITAN AUTO CLUBS, SUCH AS WWW.TITANTALK.COM/FORUMS. THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY HAD A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (WITH A THIRD REVISION DATE OVER 3 YEARS BEING OUT IN SERVICE) - THIS TELLS ME THAT NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AXLE, BUT WILL NOT RECALL THE VEHICLES AND FIX THEM PROPERLY. *TR

REAR AXLE SEALS BEGAN TO LEAK AT 75000 MILES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY AT ALL TIMES. THE NISSAN DEALER NOTICE THE LEAK DURING AN INSPECTION. NUMEROUS FORUMS HAVE COMPLAINTS OF THE AXLE SEALS FAILING DUE TO IMPROPER VENTING. LEAKAGE OF GEAR OIL ONTO REAR BRAKES PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD TO MY FAMILY. REQUEST NISSAN REPLACE AXLE SEALS AND DO A RECALL TO REENGINEER A NEW VENTING SYSTEM FOR AXLE SEALS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
THE REAR AXLE SEALS (BOTH) ON MY 2004 STARTED LEAKING AT 56,000 MILES. THE LEAK OCCURRED AT 5 YEARS AND 4 MONTHS SO THE DEALER DENIED ANY WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS VEHICLE IS USED FOR MOSTLY FOR LOCAL TRIPS WITH OCCASIONAL TRAILER TOWING THAT IS WELL WITHIN THE DESIGN LIMITS AS ADVERTISED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IN REPLACING THE SEALS IT WAS NOTED THAT THEY APPEAR TO SPIN IN THE AXLE HOUSING THUS WEARING OFF THE OUTER SEALING SURFACE. IT APPEARS THAT THE ONLY PROVISION TO PREVENT THIS IS THE CLAMPING ACTION OF THE BEARING RETAINER THAT SANDWICHES THE SEAL BETWEEN IT AND THE BEARING WHICH IS THEN FORCED AGAINST A SHOULDER IN THE AXLE HOUSING. PREVIOUS DESIGNS OF THIS AXLE, AS USED BY OTHER MANUFACTURERS, PRESSED THE SEAL INTO THE RETAINER AND THEN SEALED THE RETAINER TO THE HOUSING WITH A GASKET. LEAKS SUCH AS I EXPERIENCED WERE ALMOST NON-EXISTENT. WHILE THE LEAK IS MOSTLY ANNOYING, IT DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CONTAMINATE THE BRAKES THUS IMPAIRING THE STOPPING ABILITY OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE BRAKES ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 1.5 YEARS. NISSAN ADMITS THERE IS A PROBLEM, AND PROVIDED AN UPGRADE KIT THE CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR. I HAVE THE UPGRADE KIT THE LAST 3 TIMES THE BRAKES WERE CHANGED, AND THEY STILL GO BAD. THIS MORNING WITHOUT WARNING THE CALIPER DOVE IN THE ROTOR, AND I NEARLY WENT' THRU AN INTERSECTION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE VEHICLE NOW. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BRAKES ON THESE TRUCKS. WHEN WILL THE DOT MAKE NISSAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? *TR
