POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
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:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
HAD BEEN HEARING A 'CLANK' WHEN PUTTING VEHICLE INTO GEAR, SIMILAR TO WHEN A U-JOINT IS FAILING. WHILE TOWING MY BOAT TRAILER (BOAT WAS IN THE WATER), HAD THE VEHICLE IN 4WD, AND TURNED HARD LEFT TO EXIT THE PARKING SPOT. HEARD A LOUD SNAP IN THE REAR END, THEN HEARD ANOTHER ONE. USED TRUCK TO PULL THE BOAT OUT, BUT THEN DISCONNECTED THE TRAILER AND HAD MY FRIEND TOW THE BOAT HOME. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP NEXT MORNING, AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY UNDER WARRANTY (THANK GOD!). *TR

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

I GOT THE FIRE PUT OUT BEFORE IT SPREAD TO THE REST OF THE TRUCK, BUT THE REAR SEAT AND DOOR WERE DESTROYED. *AK

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
