I WAS AT A GAS STATION FILLING MY TRUCK. I PLACED IT INTO REVERSE AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BROKE CAUSING ME TO ONLY BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK AT 20 MPH AT 5000 RPM. I CALLED GREG AT PRG PRODUCTS AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THE 2004 AND 2005 NISSAN TITANS HAD A DEFECTIVE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF TITANS WITH FAULTY REAR DIFFERENTIALS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ITEM. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB, WHICH I PURCHASED IT IN NOVEMBER OF 2005. AFTER, APPROXIMATELY 30DAYS OF OWNERSHIP AND 500 MILES OF TRAVEL; THE FRONT BRAKES BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE COMPLICATIONS (THEY WOULD SHUDDER WHILE BRAKING AND CREATE AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF BRAKE DUST.) I QUICKLY RETURN TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, FOR SERVICING. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE ROTORS. DURING THE SUMMER OF 2006, I BEGAN TO NOTICE A MUSTY ODOR EMITTING FROM THE FLOOR AND CARPETING OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND REQUESTED THE MECHANIC TO INSPECT THE TRUCK FOR THE CAUSE OF THE ODOR. THEY COULDN'T LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE ODOR. I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS, DURING THE SUMMER OF 2007 ODOR REAPPEARED; THEY REPLACED THE RUBBER GASKET AROUND DOOR WINDOWS IN HOPES OF RESOLVING THE ISSUE. MEANWHILE THE FRONT BRAKES ROTORS WERE REPLACED AGAIN AND THE GAUGES (FUEL, OIL, TACH ,VOLTMETER) ACTING ERRATICALLY. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE BRAKES UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY & PRORATED MY PURCHASE OF A NEW NISSAN AUTO BATTERY; ACCORDING TO SERVICE DEPT. THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE GAUGES MALFUNCTION. THEN AGAIN IN2008, I WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WERE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THE MUSTY ODOR WAS CAUSED BY WATER COMING INTO THE CABIN VIA A SMALL VOID IN THE WINDOW SEALANT AROUND THE "FACTORY INSTALLED WINDSHIELD' UPON HEARING THIS, I CHOSE TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC DUE TO NISSAN MECHANIC INABILITY TO RESOLVE THE BRAKE ISSUE & LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE WATER. THIS YEAR 2009, THE REAR END WAS REPAIRED DUE THE SEALS LEAKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PREVENTIVE REPLACEMENT ON THE PASSENGER SEALS. HOWEVER, A FEW OLD ISSUES ALONG WITH NEW ONES THAT STILL EXIST. MY NEW MECHANIC TOLD ME THE SOURCE OF THE WATER & ODOR ISSUE IS THE A/C CONDENSER LEAKING INTO THE CABIN, THE BLINKING AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS DUE TO A HARNESS NEEDING REPLACING IN THE REAR DOORS. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR, STEERING
LEFT & RIGHT REAR SEALS LEAKING ON MY KING CAB 05 NISSAN TITAN. I HAD THE 60,000 MILE SERVICE DONE IN EARLY JULY 2009, AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE APPROXIMATE MILEAGE ON MY TRUCK AT THAT TIME WAS AROUND 66,000 MILES. UPON COMPLETING THE JOB, THE NEXT DAY, MOST OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED OUT OF MY TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP CAME TO MY HOUSE AND REPAIRED THE LEAK AND TOPPED OFF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A FAILED HOSE CLAMP. THEY TOOK MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK IT OVER TO CONFIRM THAT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS OK. THEY ALSO CHECK ON A FAN RECALL THAT WAS PENDING. THEY TOLD ME THAT NO REPAIRS WERE NECESSARY. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID APPEARED TO BE LEAKING AGAIN FROM THE FRONT END. I TOOK MY TRUCK IN EARLIER THIS WEEK AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A LEAKING TRANSMISSION HOSE AT NO CHARGE. THEY INFORMED ME AT THIS TIME THAT MY LEFT AND RIGHT REAR SEALS WERE LEAKING VERY BAD. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE A POWER STEERING LEAK. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THESE ISSUES WERE NOT ADDRESSED IN JULY WHEN THE 60,000 MILE SERVICE WAS DONE UNLESS IT JUST RECENTLY STARTED. THEY TOLD ME HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO DO THE REPAIRS AND ADVISED THAT I TAKE CARE OF IT ASAP! *TR

DURING VISIT FOR OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION, A SERVICE CENTER POINTED OUT THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAL AXLE SHAFT SEAL WAS LEAKING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD 68,000 MILES ON IT, THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE BACK-SIDE OF THE ROTOR WAS SATURATED WITH DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. ADDITIONALLY, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOES WERE COMPLETELY SATURATED WITH DIFFERENTIAL FLUID, REDUCING THE ABILITY OF THE PARKING BRAKE TO HOLD THE VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIR WHICH INCLUDED REPLACEMENT OF THE AXLE SHAFT SEAL, AXLE SHAFT BEARING, AXLE SHAFT BEARING SPACER, AND PARKING BRAKE SHOE & LINING. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE REAR PINION SEAL FAILED AT 16,700 MILES AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
