TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OVER A POTHOLE, THE CONTACT HEARD LOUD NOISES COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AGO, WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD A MUCH LOUDER NOISE AND THE VEHICLE DROVE AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO GET AWAY. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, SHE DISCOVERED THAT THE LEAF SPRING PUNCTURED THROUGH THE TRUCK BED. THE CONTACT HAS PHOTOS AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000. UPDATED 12/11/08. *LJ UPDATED 12/11/08. *JB

2005 NISSAN TITAN REAR END GEARS WENT OUT. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE RING AND PINION GEARS ALONG WITH THE SPIDER GEAR SET UP. BASICALLY REBUILD THE ENTIRE REAREND. I HAVE READ SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ISSUE TO THIS WEBSITE. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT. I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE REAREND LOCKED UP AND I SLID OFF THE ROAD. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME WHEN I SLID OFF THE ROAD OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN, BOTH OF MY REAR AXLE SEALS FAILED WITH ONLY 48,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE FLUID LEAKS AXLE LUBRICANT BY THE REAR WHEELS, WHICH GETS ONTO THE REAR DISK BRAKES, WHICH MAKES THE REAR BRAKES INEFFECTIVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING A TRAILER. NISSAN REPLACED THE SEALS, HOWEVER THE POPULAR BELIEF OF THE CAUSE OF THIS IS A 1-WAY VALVE VENT THAT ALLOWS THE PRESSURE WITHIN THE AXLE TO ESCAPE, BUT DOESN'T LET AIR BACK INTO THE AXLE. THIS OCCURRENCE CAUSES A VACUUM INSIDE THE AXLE, WHICH PULLS ON THE AXLE SEALS AND CAUSES THEM TO AGE PREMATURELY. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING OUT OF A TURN, I HEARD A NUMBER OF LOUD CLUNKS AND FELT TRUCK KICK. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED. CONVENIENTLY, THIS WAS AT 66K MILES, JUST 6 OUT OF WARRANTY. I WAS QUOTED NEARLY 4K TO REPAIR, BECAUSE NISSAN DOES NOT SELL THE PARTS TO REBUILD, JUST THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY, TIRE TO TIRE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL UNDER BRAKING. NISSAN HAS IDENTIFIED THAT 2004 AND EARLY 2005 TITANS WERE BUILT WITH BRAKE ROTORS THAT ARE TOO SMALL, RESULTING IN THE ROTORS WARPING DUE TO OVERHEATING. NISSAN CALLS THIS ISSUE BRAKE JUDDERING AND HAS ISSUED THREE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING FIXING THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING AN UPGRADED (BIGGER ROTORS) BRAKE KIT. NISSAN EXTENDED THE BRAKE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE TO 36 MONTHS/36,000MILES. I AM UNDER THE MILEAGE LIMIT (31,000) BUT HAVE EXCEEDED THE TIME LIMIT BY ONE MONTH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THEY NEED TO BE WILLING TO REPLACE THE ROTORS FOR ANY VEHICLE ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED WITH THE UNDERSIZED ROTORS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT MY ROTORS ARE WARPED AND RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER IT, I SAW FLUID LEAKING DOWN FROM THE AXLE AREA ONTO THE BRAKE HEAT SHIELD. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A LEAK IN THE REAR RIGHT AXLE SEAL. SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD 40,000 MILES ON IT, IT WAS REPLACED UNDER THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. *TR

BASICALLY I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN INTO THE POST OFFICE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD, CLANKING-TYPE OF NOISE. I KNEW RIGHT AWAY SOMETHING WAS HAPPENING WITH THE REAR-END OF MY 05 TITAN 4X4, AND BEFORE I COULD STOP IT MADE THE HORRIFIC NOISE ABOUT 4 MORE TIMES. I FULLY EXPECTED TO LOOK INTO MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SEE PARTS AND FLUID ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY, BUT FORTUNATELY NOTHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED. I PARKED THE TRUCK AND A MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED ME ABOUT THIS SITE AND THE PROBLEMS NISSAN WAS HAVING WITH REAR-ENDS. *TR

AT JUST OVER 60,000 MILES, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED!!! I HAVE NEVER HAULED ANYTHING OVER 1100 LBS. I 'D PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW IN 2005 AND ALSO HAVE THE TOW PACKAGE. I DON'T DRIVE OFF ROAD. MY WARRANTY WAS UP @ 36,000 MILES. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AND THE RPMS WENT INTO THE "RED" WHEN I HAD PULLED AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN. I WAS GOING ONLY 15MPH. THEN THE TRUCK FREE SPUN AND GRABBED AT A HIGHER RPM DAMAGING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. AS I DROVE DOWN THE STREET, KNOCKING SOUNDS OCCURRED. THE TRUCK WILL BE TOWED ON MONDAY TO A MECHANIC TO BE REPAIRED. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AND I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A MAJOR WRECK IF THERE HAD NOT HAVE BEEN A SHOULDER TO COAST ONTO! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THE DEALER REPAIRED THE ROTORS AND OTHER BRAKE RELATED FAILURES. AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE CONTACT HEARD METAL GRINDING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. HE RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE FINE. THE CONTACT CLAIMS THAT THE DEALER WAITED FOR THE WARRANTY TO EXPIRE SO THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VIN AND MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.
