POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
I WAS MAKING A TURN IN THE 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH OFF ROAD PACKAGE WHEN I HEARD A CLANK IN THE REAR END SO I DROVE IT HOME AND IT WAS GETTING WORSE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP , AND THEY SENT A ROLLBACK TO PICK IT UP. THEY CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND SAID MY REAR END IS SHOT AND SINCE I HAVE 61,312 MILES ON THE TRUCK THEY SAID I MISSED WARRANTY BY 1312 MILES, AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. WHAT GETS ME IS I DON'T EVEN HAVE A HITCH ON THE BACK, SO I HAVE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR END SO I THINK THEY SHOULD FIX IT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN . *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
ON APRIL 16, 2007 THENISSAN TITAN' DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR CAUGHT ON FIRE. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE DOOR POCKET THAT COULD HAVE IGNITED, JUST A BOTTLE OF WATER, AND THE KEYS WERE OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE FIRE APPEARED TO HAVE STARTED AROUND THE SPEAKER AREA AND SPREAD TO THE REST OF THE DOOR PANEL. I GOT THE FIRE PUT OUT BEFORE IT SPREAD TO THE REST OF THE TRUCK, BUT THE REAR SEAT AND DOOR WERE DESTROYED. *AK

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, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 8000 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. NISSAN REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WEOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
TWO DIFFERENTIAL FAILURES WITHIN 60,000 MILES ON MY 200 NISSAN TITAN. BOTH FAILURE INVOLVED WHEEL SEAL LEAKING AND LOUD NOISES FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL. MY THIRD DIFFERENTIAL INSTALLED BY NISSAN IS THE SAME NISSAN STOCK NUMBER SO I EXPECT A FAILURE WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES. IF I DON'T TRADE MY TITAN IN BEFORE THE 12,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE NEW DIFFERENTIAL IS UP, I WILL HAVE TO PAY THE $ 3000 + TO REPLACE IT. I SEE NEW STOCK NUMBERS ON THE NEW 2007 MODELS BUT NISSAN REFUSED TO GIVE ME ONE OF THOSE UNLESS I PAID FOR IT. BET YOU CAN FIGURE THAT ONE OUT. NISSAN NEEDS TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THESE DIFFERENTIALS. *JB

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT
EARLY DECEMBER 06 - I NOTICED FLUID UNDER FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THAT STUB SHAFT (WHICH BOLTS TO FRONT CV) HAD PULLED OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. PUSHED IT BACK IN BUT OIL SEAL HAD BEEN DAMAGED SO IT WAS STILL LEAKING. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY WOULDN'T COVER UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO AFTERMARKET LIFT (EVEN THOUGH THEY SELL A VERSION OF MY TRUCK WITH THIS LIFT INSTALLED BY THE FACTORY). PAID $380 TO GET A NEW SEAL INSTALLED. LATE DECEMBER 06 - 2 WEEKS AFTER REPAIR I FOUND FLUID UNDER THE TRUCK AGAIN. PUSHED IT BACK IN AND LEAK STOPPED. JANUARY 07 - WHILE IN MEXICO, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING 4WD ON HARD PACKED SAND. I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK I FOUND THAT THE SAME SHAFT WAS OUT AGAIN. TURNS OUT THE SHAFT HAS SPLINES AND A SMALL CIRCLIP TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. THE CIRCLIP IS UNDERSIZED SO IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT 1 POUND OF FORCE TO SEPARATE THE 2 PIECES. THIS MOST RECENT TIME OCCURRED UNDER LOAD SO WHEN THE SHAFT SHOT OUT, THE SPLINES GOT DAMAGED. SINCE I WAS A DAY'S DRIVE SOUTH OF THE BORDER I HAD TO FILE AND THEN HAMMER THE SHAFT BACK INTO PLACE. NISSAN DENIED MY WARRANTY, AGAIN BLAMING THE LIFT FOR THE PROBLEM. I FOUND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, MOST WITHOUT LIFTS. I TALKED TO A TECHNICIAN AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN OREGON AND HE CONFIRMED THAT HE HAS SEEN SEVERAL FRONT DIFFERENTIALS WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE SUSPECTED THAT THE CV JOINTS DON'T STRETCH AS WELL WHEN WEATHER IS COLD THEREBY PULLING THE STUB SHAFTS OUT WHEN THE WHEELS ARE TURNED. MOST VEHICLES HE HAD SEEN WERE STOCK. HE ALSO SAID THAT NISSAN HAD A REDESIGNED DIFFERENTIAL THAT THE TECH'S ARE SUPPOSED TO INSTALL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A FACTORY REP. NISSAN FINALLY AGREED TO DO A ONE-TIME FRONT DIFFERENTIAL REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY. *JB
