TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A 30K MILE CHECK UP AND THEY FOUND THE REAR AXLE SEAL TO BE LEAKING. THE SEAL WAS REPLACED BUT WITH THE SAME PART AS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED SO I WORRY THAT I WILL HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN ONCE OUT OF WARRANTY.

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
2005 NISSAN TITAN LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE. ON THE MORNING OF 8-21-2007 I NOTICED OIL INSIDE MY LEFT REAR WHEEL. I CLIMBED UNDER THE TRUCK AND COULD SEE CLEARLY WHERE IT HAD LEAKED OUT THE END OF THE AXLE. THE PREVIOUS DAY I HAD BEEN TRAVELING BACK TO MY HOME FROM A 6 HOUR TRIP. I FILLED UP WITH GAS ABOUT 3 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME-I DID NOT SEE ANY OIL IN REAR WHEEL (GAS CAP IS NEXT TO WHEEL). PROBLEM HAD TO HAPPEN AFTER FILL-UP-THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM BECAUSE I WAS TRAVELING AT NIGHT,70 MPH ON INTERSTATE. IF ALL FLUID HAD OF LEAKED OUT ,THAT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC AT THAT TIME. ALSO I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS SAFE FOR DIFF OIL TO BE LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE DISKS. I KNOW THAT NISSAN IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE SEALS ON TITAN TRUCKS AND THINK THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO COME UP WITH A LASTING REPAIR BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED OR INJURED. MY LOCAL DEALER REPLACED THE LEAKING SEAL. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
MY NISSAN TITAN CREWS BRAKES WERE NOT PERFORMING WELL ON A TRIP I TOOK. AFTER GETTING HOME I NOTICED OIL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AT BOTH REAR BRAKES. THE REAR DIFF. WAS LEAKING ALL OVER THE BRAKE BACKING PLATE TO THE EXTENT THAT OIL WAS BEING SLUNG THROUGHOUT THE WHEEL WELL. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER YET SINCE I JUST FOUND THIS PROBLEM BUT I AM AT 38,000 MI. JUST 2000 MI. OUT OF WARRANTY. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING, FLUID LEAKING ONTO BRAKE ASSEMBLY; LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL SEEPING. SEALS HAD BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE. ALL PROBLEMS FIXED BY DEALER, BUT NISSAN SHOULD USE AN IMPROVED AXLE SEAL, AND A DIFFERENT AXLE VENT SYSTEM. THE VENT DOES NOT ALLOW AIR PRESSURE TO RETURN INTO THE AXLE HOUSING WHEN THERE IS A NEGATIVE PRESSURE SITUATION. A LONG VENT HOSE RUN UPWARDS IN THE BODY WITH A FILTER IS A SUGGESTED SOLUTION ON WWW.TITANTALK.COM, AND PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS AXLE SEAL FAILURES HAVE PERFORMED THIS FIX AND NO LONGER EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL ALL TITANS AND PATHFINDERS WITH THIS AXLE VENT SYSTEM AND REPAIR THE VENT WITH SOMETHING BETTER. UNTIL THIS IS PERFORMED, AXLE SEALS WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL AND FLUID WILL CONTINUE TO POTENTIALLY LEAK ONTO BRAKE ASSEMBLIES. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A 7 WAY TRAILER PLUG ADAPTER WAS PLUGGED UPSIDE DOWN INTO A 2007 NISSAN TITANS RECEPTACLE SOCKET AND IT CAUSED THE CHASSIS WIRING HARNESS, THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS AND THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS TO ALL MELT DOWN. OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE ALSO PROBABLY DAMAGED. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROPERLY DESIGNED CIRCUIT TO LIMIT THE DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR IT MALFUNCTIONED. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE DID NOT CATCH FIRE, THE PLASTIC COATING ON THE WIRING WAS MELTED DOWN, THE PLUG ADAPTER WAS VERY HOT AND IT POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FIRE IF THE PLUG WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT IN LONG ENOUGH. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THIS DEFECT BE INVESTIGATED BY NISSAN. *TR

FAILURE OF DIFFERENTIAL ON MY 2005 NISSAN SE CREW CAB P/U. THE DIFFERENTIAL JUST FAILED AFTER ENGAGING THE 4WD ON THE FLY GOING ABOUT 25MPH ON A LEVEL SERVICE NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY, IT JUST FAILED. MY VEHICLE HAD HARDLY EVER BEEN USED OF ROAD AND ONLY HAS A 35,000 MILES ON IT. I DON'T DRIVE IT HARD AND IT IS EXCEPTIONALLY MAINTAINED. THIS MAKES ME WONDER IF I SHOULD HAVE PURCHASED A TOYOTA TUNDRA OR A CHEVY SILVERADO. *TR
