I CURRENTLY OWN A 2004 TITAN CREW CAB WITH TOW PACKAGE AND I HAVE 80,000 MI. ON THIS TRUCK. THROUGHOUT THE OWNERSHIP IT HAS BEEN RELIABLE FOR WORK AND PLEASURE. I DO TOW A TRAILER, AVG. WEIGHT IS 4000 LBS.. I HAVE HAD FRONT BRAKE ISSUES, NISSAN TOOK CARE OF UNTIL IT WAS 3YR.S OLD, HOWEVER SINCE I HAVE INSTALLED AMERICAN MADE DRILLED ROTORS. THE REAR WAS REPLACED AT 71K, IT IS A DANA REAR AND USES GEARS MADE IN CHINA. IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER IT WILL NOT LAST LONG AGAIN. THE PROBLEM IS NOT DESIGN ITSELF IT IS THE QUALITY OF THE METAL BEING USED FOR THE GEARS. ANY CLUNKING, POPPING SOUNDS FROM REAR IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED! OTHERWISE IT IS A GOOD TRUCK FOR THE MONEY. *JB

MY NISSAN TITAN CREWS BRAKES WERE NOT PERFORMING WELL ON A TRIP I TOOK. AFTER GETTING HOME I NOTICED OIL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AT BOTH REAR BRAKES. THE REAR DIFF. WAS LEAKING ALL OVER THE BRAKE BACKING PLATE TO THE EXTENT THAT OIL WAS BEING SLUNG THROUGHOUT THE WHEEL WELL. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER YET SINCE I JUST FOUND THIS PROBLEM BUT I AM AT 38,000 MI. JUST 2000 MI. OUT OF WARRANTY. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING, FLUID LEAKING ONTO BRAKE ASSEMBLY; LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL SEEPING. SEALS HAD BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE. ALL PROBLEMS FIXED BY DEALER, BUT NISSAN SHOULD USE AN IMPROVED AXLE SEAL, AND A DIFFERENT AXLE VENT SYSTEM. THE VENT DOES NOT ALLOW AIR PRESSURE TO RETURN INTO THE AXLE HOUSING WHEN THERE IS A NEGATIVE PRESSURE SITUATION. A LONG VENT HOSE RUN UPWARDS IN THE BODY WITH A FILTER IS A SUGGESTED SOLUTION ON WWW.TITANTALK.COM, AND PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS AXLE SEAL FAILURES HAVE PERFORMED THIS FIX AND NO LONGER EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL ALL TITANS AND PATHFINDERS WITH THIS AXLE VENT SYSTEM AND REPAIR THE VENT WITH SOMETHING BETTER. UNTIL THIS IS PERFORMED, AXLE SEALS WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL AND FLUID WILL CONTINUE TO POTENTIALLY LEAK ONTO BRAKE ASSEMBLIES. *JB
