OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN 5.6 LE 4X4 OFFROAD AND TOW PACKAGE. ON 5/29/07, I WAS PULLING MY TRAVEL TRAILER AND MADE A TURN, THE REAR END MADE A LOUD AND TRUCK SHUDDERING THUMP. AFTERWARDS, EVERYTIME I ACCELERATED OR TURNED, THE REAR END WOULD THUMP AND SHAKE THE ENTIRE TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE REAR END NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. I WAS IN RICHMOND, VA BUT LIVE IN NJ, SO I DECIDED TO TRY TO GET IT HOME. PUT IT IN 4X4 HI MODE AND MADE IT. DROPPED IT OFF TO NISSAN DEALER IN NJ, THEY ARE REPLACING THE REAR END NOW, UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
DURING THE MOST RECENT OIL CHANGE, I WAS DIRECTED BY THE TECHNICIAN TO THE BACK SIDE OF THE REAR WHEELS, BOTH SIDES. FROM THIS VANTAGE POINT, YOU CAN EASILY SEE THAT LUBRICATION FROM THE REAR AXLE IS LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKE ROTOR ASSEMBLY VIA THE AXLE END SEALS. I IMMEDIATLEY CONTACTED NISSANUSA AND HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO GET ANSWERS FROM THEM AS TO WHAT, IF ANYTHING THEY WILL DO TO RECTIFY THIS CONDITION. MY EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN HAS RECENTLY EXPIRED. ACCORDING TO INTERNET FORUMS FOR NISSAN TITANS, THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS AND IT APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD. NISSANUSA CONTINUES TO GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND BY AVOIDING ANY DIALOGUE.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
NOTICED ROAD NOISE THAT INCREASED WITH MILEAGE. THEN SLIGHT VIBRATION OVER TIME. HAD TIRE ROTATIONS BY OIL CHANGERS AND DEALERSHIP. THEY NOTICED NOTHING ABOUT TIRES. WHEN CONDITION GOT MORE NOTICEABLE,I WENT TO 2 TIRE SHOPS. THEY FIRST TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO GO TO A GOODYEAR SHOP BECAUSE I HAVE TIRE SEPARATION. THE SECOND WAS A GOODYEAR STORE THAT TOLD ME THAT I HAD TREAD SEPARATION AND TWISTED BELTS WHICH WERE MANUFACTURED DURING THE STRIKE AT GOODYEAR AND MADE BY OFFICE PERSONNEL. SINCE THIS WAS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE TIRE, IN MY EYES, I FELT THAT GOODYEAR SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXPENSE OF NEW TIRES. THE GOODYEAR SHOP STATED THAT THEY WILL SUBMIT THIS AS ROAD NOISE AND GET A MINIMUM L REFUND BACK TO HELP OFFSET THE COST OF NEW TIRES THAT I MUST BUY AT THE TUNE OF $700.00. OF COURSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO PUT THE SAME TIRE BACK ON THE TRUCK. ALSO THESE TIRES HAD 26,300 MILES ON THEM. I HAVE DONE NOTHING EXCEPT CHECK PRICING AT OTHER TIRE PLACES TO SEE IF I AM GETTING ANY DISCOUNT AT ALL. TOTALLY FRUSTRATED I FELT THAT GOODYEAR SHOULD PAY FOR THESE TIRES TO BE REPLACED. ALSO THEY OF COURSE WILL CHARGE ALL THEIR OTHER CHARGES, BALANCE,TIRE DISPOSALS,TIRE CHARGES,BALANCE. EVEN THOUGH CLEARLY THIS IS A GOODYEAR FIASCO. I WAS CERTAIN THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE GOODYEAR SHOP KNEW ALL ABOUT THIS DEFECT. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
DURING A RECENT OIL CHANGE, THE TECHNICIAN POINTED OUT THE AXLE END SEALS WERE LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKE ROTOR ASSEMBLY ON MY SE KING CAB. THIS REDUCES THE BRAKE'S ABILITY TO STOP. I CURRENTLY HAVE 81,000 MILES ON THIS 2005 MODEL. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 75,000 MILES JUST ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO AND THIS PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY HAPPENING DURING THE WARRANTY BUT I DIDN'T NOTICE IT AS I CHANGE MY OWN OIL MYSELF MOST OF THE TIME. AFTER LOOKING OVER THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THE TITANS. NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AS THEY DID THE BRAKE PROBLEM. *AK

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
2004 NISSAN TITAN 4WD. AT 54,000 MILES THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL GEARS BLEW APART WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS DESTROYED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND CAUSED $3000 WORTH OF REPAIRS. THE REAR AXLE SEALS ON BOTH SIDES WERE LEAKING AT THE TIME THE GEARS FAILED. APPARENTLY, THIS WAS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM/DEFECT WITH MOST NISSAN TITAN ,THOUGH SO FAR NISSAN SEEMS TO BE IGNORING THE PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH THE REAR END GEAR FAILURE DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IF THE GEARS FAILED AND LOCK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THEY COULD CAUSE THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *AK

THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE VEHICLE COMES TO A JERKY STOP. THE DEALER DUPLICATED THE FAILURE, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 32,998.

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
I WAS CHANGING REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL FOUND LEAKING FORM THE DRIVER SIDE AXLE SEAL AND PINION GEAR SHAFT FRONT SEAL. IF AXLE SEAL LEAK GETS WORSE IT MIGHT GET ON TO THE ABS SENSOR AND BRAKE DISK AND EMERGENCY BRAKE (LITTLE DRUM DISK) AND CAUSE SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. ALSO IF I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS AND KEPT DRIVING THIS AXLE ONLY HOLD ABOUT 2 QUARTS OF GEAR OIL, ALL OIL CAN LEAK OUT AND CAUSE DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE PROBLEM SUDDENLY AND IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ALSO. LEAKING OIL IS ALSO A ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDED. SO MANY PEOPLE SEEMS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, BY RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET. *JB

1) THROUGH NORMAL USE, THE REAR AXLE SEAL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 GAVE OUT AND STARTED TO LEAK ONTO THE BRAKE. I WAS ABLE TO CATCH THIS FAILURE EARLY. 2) EVENTUALLY, ENOUGH GEAR OIL WOULD HAVE LEAKED OUT, CAUSING EXCESSIVE HEAT AND EVENTUAL FAILURE OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. 3) I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER AND THEY REPAIRED THE LEAK BY REPLACING ALL PARTS ASSOCIATED WITH SEALING THE AXLE.*JB

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE. FAILURE OCCURRED AT 27,470 MILES (NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE). ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID WILL LEAK SLOWLY AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID, CAUSING FAILURE. NISSAN HAS REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN. AS SUCH, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO OWNERS WILL NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
WE OWN A TITAN AND ARE SATISFIED BUT HAD SOME ISSUES AS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED VEHICLE. EACH HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF UNDER WARRANTY FROM OUR DEALER ALAN JAY OF SEBRING FLORIDA, A VERY PROFESSIONAL OPERATION I MIGHT ADD. THE ONE MOST RECENT OF CONCERN CAUSED BRAKE INTERRUPTION AND WHEN I INSPECTED THE BRAKE SYSTEM ONE OF THE REAR BRAKES APPEARED TO BE LEAKING, WHICH I SUSPECTED THAT TO BE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A REAR AXLE SEAL AND REPLACED BOTH THE SEAL AND THE BEARING WHICH HAD BECOME DAMAGED. AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A QUITE COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED. WE USE THIS VEHICLE DAILY FOR BUSINESS AND ALREADY HAVE 44,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS NOT YET TWO YEARS OLD. MY CONCERN IS MY WARRANTY WILL RUN OUT WITH EXCEEDED MILES BRFORE THE TIME LIMIT AND THE OTHER AXLE CAN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY DID THEY ONLY CHANGE ONE? I WOULD LIKE THE OTHER SIDE CHANGED AS THEY ARE IDENTICAL IN DESIGN. PLEASE RESPOND TO MY REQUEST, THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GAS MILEAGE WAS FAR FROM WHERE THE STANDARDS SHOULD BE ACCORDING TO NHTSA, WHO STATED THAT THE STANDARDS SHOULD BE 18 MPG, BUT THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS AT 13.8 MPG ON A FLAT HIGHWAY. WHEN THERE WAS STIFF WIND THE READING INDICATESD14.1 MPG. WHEN HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER THEY STATED THAT NO FAILURE WAS PRESENT, AND IT WAS NHTSA'S RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THEY MANDATED THE RULING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE SHOP, AND NO FAILURES WERE FOUND ONCE AGAIN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 3,326, AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,226. *AK

2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK. I WAS LOOKING ON THE WEB WHEN I CAM ACROSS A LOT OF OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE 04 I HAVE HAS 28K MILES ON IT AND THE AXEL SEALS ARE LEAKING. THIS GEAR OIL IS NOW ON THE BRAKE ROTORS AND MAY CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING MY TRUCK UNTIL THESE SEALS ARE FIXED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN RELATED ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE OTHER AUTOS THAT I HAVE DRIVEN THRU OUT THE YEARS. I CAN SEE THIS LEAD TO A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND IT MAY BE. *JB
