AT 16,000 FIRST AXLE SEAL LEAK. THEN AT 74000 MILES SECOND LEAK. FIRST WAS FIXED BY NISSAN AND SECOND LEAK WAS TOLD COULD NOT BE FIXED,COMPLETE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD TO BE REPLACED OIL GETTING ON BRAKES AND REARS THAT COULD POSSIBLY BREAK EASILY COULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SOME TITAN TRUCKS. THIS IS THE FIRST REAR DIFFERENTIAL I HAD GO IN 48 YEARS OF DRIVING AND ATTRIBUTE THIS TO A BAD DESIGNED AND COST CUTTING BY NISSAN. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 REAR DIFF FAILURE AT ABOUT 53K, WAS REPLACED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE THE NEW DIFF WAS PUT IN, NOISE AND THUMPING CAN BE HEARD AND FELT WHEN STOPPING AND GOING COMING FROM THE REAR. WHEN PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE FROM PARK YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL THE DRIVE SHAFT BANG WHEN IT GOES INTO GEAR, THERE IS TOO MUCH SLACK IN THE REAR AND THE DEALER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WHEN THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG. I FEEL THAT THE REAR WILL AGAIN FAIL. *TR

THIS IS MY 2ND NISSAN TITAN IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS! I TRADED IN A 2005 WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES BECAUSE OF 3 FULL TIRE SET REPLACEMENTS AND NEW BRAKES AT 6,000 MILES AND PROBLEMS THAT THE DEALER STATED ARE CURRENTLY FIXED IN THE NEW 2007 MODELS. MY NEW 2007 AT 1200 MILES DEALER REPLACED DEFECTIVE RIMS WITH A NEW SET OF DEFECTIVE RIMS THAT ARE A AFTER MARKET PLASTIC HUBCAP GLUED TO THE STEEL RIM WHICH IS CLICKING AND POPPING WHILE IN MOTION AND AFTER 15 MINUTES DRIVING WHEN I PARK THEY STILL POP AND CLICK UNTIL THEY COMPLETELY COOL DOWN WHICH IS ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER. I ALSO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW GO DOWN BY ITSELF AND STOP EXACTLY AT 3 INCHES AFTER I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE IT, MY AC DOES NOT COOL AT ALL AND OFTEN DOES NOT COME ON EVEN WHEN MY GPS SCREEN SAYS IT IS SET ON HIGH AND RUNNING I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN OFF TRUCK THEN RESTART TRUCK TO GET AC TO COME ON. DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A TSB ON IT THAT I GAVE THEM! DEALER SAID WINDOW PROBLEM IS DUE TO GEORGIA HEAT, IT IS DOING WHAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO DO BUT MY OTHER 3 WINDOWS DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM! MY RIMS THEY STATED THAT THEY WANT TO PUT MORE GLUE A TSB TECH TO FIX THE PROBLEM! THAT IS NOT A REPAIR THAT IS A BAND AID THAT WILL NOT HOLD WITH THE HEAT TIRES PUT OFF! AS OF NOW I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANY NISSAN EVER AGAIN AND I WILL BE BUYING NEW RIMS FOR MY TRUCK AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS NOT HELPED AT ALL WHAT SO EVER ONLY TELL ME TO DO THE TSB GLUE REPAIR AND EVEN THOUGH I PAID 1800.00 EXTRA FOR CHROME RIM PACKAGE THEY WILL NOT REFUND OR PURCHASE NEW RIMS AT ALL SO I AM ON MY OWN. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, SEATS
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE EXTEND CAB WITH OFF ROAD PACKAGE AND TOWING PACKAGE. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKES LOOKED AT ABOUT EVERY 20K MILES. I CURRENTLY HAVE 67K ON IT, AND I HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR 3 DAY WHILE WAITING ON NISSAN CORP TO DECIDE IF THEY WOULD STILL COVER THE BRAKE DEFECT. THE DEALER TOLD US THEY COULD ONLY TURN THE ROTORS AND REPLACE THE PADS, WHICH THEY DID 2X'S. NOW IT NEEDS NEW ROTORS AND PADS, AND SUDDENLY THE RECALL IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT, SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY OVER $500 TO GET THIS DONE. I REFUSE, AND I AM STILL WAITING ON NISSAN CORP TO CALL ME. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN, THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 24,000 MILES NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL. AS THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WE WILL NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN SE CREW CAB 4X4. I WAS LOOKING AT MY NEW TIRES WHEN I NOTICED FLUID LEAKING AT THE END OF THE AXLE WHERE IT JOINS WITH THE WHEEL. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO FAILURE. I TOOK IT 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD TO CENTRAL VALLEY NISSAN UPON NOTICING THIS PROBLEM (I WAS DOWN THERE WITHIN 30 MINUTES). THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ON TITANS BEFORE. HE SAID IT IS A REAR AXLE SEAL THAT HAS FAILED. I WAS TOLD THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE THE AXLE WARPS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS FIXED THE NEXT DAY (I AM GOING DOWN FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING). I AM HOPEFUL THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN WITH MY VEHICLE. BASED ON INTERNET SEARCHES, THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD. SINCERELY, MICHAEL JAMES *TR

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT
AFTER APPROX 38,000 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SEAL REQUIRED REPLACEMENT DUE TO EXCESSIVE LEAKAGE. AT 43,600 MILES THE REAR AXLE HAS FAILED, ONE MECHANIC THOUGHT IT WAS AS SIMPLE AS THE CLUTCH PLATES STICKING WHICH CAUSED THE REAR TIRES TO TURN THE SAME SPEED WHEN TURNING CAUSING THE INSIDE TIRE TO SPIN OUT. LOUD BANGING STARTED TO OCCUR ABOUT 60 MILES BEFORE TOTAL FAILURE, IN 40 MILE BEFORE, WHEN LEAVING A GAS STATION THE TRUCK HAD SHAKEN VIOLENTLY ON TAKE OFF THEN SUBSIDED AS ACCELERATION INCREASED. WITH ANY SMALL TURN, THE LOUD BANGING RETURNED. ON SHARP TURNS THE TRUCK SEEMED TO PULL IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, EVEN AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 20 MPH. I DECIDED TO PUT THE TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE, WHICH HELPED SOMEWHAT, PROBABLY TAKING SOME OF THE LOADING OFF THE REAR AXLE, BUT THE DRIVE WASN'T EASY. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT MY TITAN AND AFTER RAISING THE REAR END AND SPINNING THE TIRES HE SAID THE SPIDER GEAR WAS SHOT AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER 50 MILES AWAY, DROPPED THE TRUCK OFF BECAUSE THEY WERE CLOSED BUT DID HAVE THE CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EARLIER. THE SERVICE REP GUESSED THE REAR OF MY TRUCK BEFORE I COULD SAY ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY REAR AXLE. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY THE SERVICE REP CALLED ME AND SAID THE REAR AXLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, WHEN THE FIRST MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM, I NOTICED BOTH SEALS ON THE AXLE WERE LEAKING, THE DRIVER SIDE EXCESSIVELY. I USE MY TITAN FOR EVERYDAY COMMUTE AND OFTEN TOW MY 4,000 POUND TRAVEL TRAILER. WHEN TOWING AND TURNING SHARPLY, SOMETIMES THE INSIDE WHEEL WOULD SPIN OUT, I THOUGHT THIS MAY BE NORMAL BUT I GUESS WHEN UNDER LOAD THE DIFFERENTIAL DOES NOT RELEASE PROPERLY CAUSING THE SPIN. WHEN FINAL FAILURE OCCURRED, THE REAR END WOULD SLIP OR SKIP AS IF GEARS WERE MISSING. WHEN I PARKED THE TRUCK FOR THE LAST TIME IT HAD MOVED SEVERAL INCHES BACK UNTIL ANOTHER GEAR ENGAGED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PAINT WAS MORE GRAY THAN BLUE AROUND THE DOOR JAM AREA OF THE VEHICLE. HE STATED THAT THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE THREE LAYERS OF PAINT IN THAT AREA. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY OFFERED HIM A TRADE AT THE COST OF $3,000. THE CONTACT DECLINED THEIR OFFER. THE DEALER REQUESTED THAT NISSAN SEND THEM PICTURES. ONCE THE PICTURES WERE RECEIVED, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. HOWEVER, THEY DO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN, BUT THE FAILURE BEGAN WITHIN WEEKS OF THE VEHICLE BEING PURCHASED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,000.
