TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AUTOMATICALLY TOUCHES THE FLOOR AND A GRINDING NOISE IS AUDIBLE. THE FAILURE OCCURS AT ANY SPEED. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE VEHICLE COMES TO A JERKY STOP. THE DEALER DUPLICATED THE FAILURE, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 32,998.

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
1) THROUGH NORMAL USE, THE REAR AXLE SEAL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 GAVE OUT AND STARTED TO LEAK ONTO THE BRAKE. I WAS ABLE TO CATCH THIS FAILURE EARLY. 2) EVENTUALLY, ENOUGH GEAR OIL WOULD HAVE LEAKED OUT, CAUSING EXCESSIVE HEAT AND EVENTUAL FAILURE OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. 3) I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER AND THEY REPAIRED THE LEAK BY REPLACING ALL PARTS ASSOCIATED WITH SEALING THE AXLE.*JB

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. FAILURE OCCURRED AT 27,470 MILES (NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE). ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID WILL LEAK SLOWLY AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID, CAUSING FAILURE. NISSAN HAS REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN. AS SUCH, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO OWNERS WILL NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK. I WAS LOOKING ON THE WEB WHEN I CAM ACROSS A LOT OF OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE 04 I HAVE HAS 28K MILES ON IT AND THE AXEL SEALS ARE LEAKING. THIS GEAR OIL IS NOW ON THE BRAKE ROTORS AND MAY CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING MY TRUCK UNTIL THESE SEALS ARE FIXED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN RELATED ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE OTHER AUTOS THAT I HAVE DRIVEN THRU OUT THE YEARS. I CAN SEE THIS LEAD TO A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND IT MAY BE. *JB

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

PARKED WITHIN 2 MILES OF HEARING IT AND FOUND FLUID LEAKING OUT OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AT THE POINT WHERE THE DRIVE SHAFT CONNECTS. THERE WAS ALSO A VERY STRONG ODOR OF BURNING DIFFERENTIAL OIL. TOWED TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE REPLACING THE ENTIRE REAR END. *JB

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

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
POST THAT I SUBMITTED TO NISSAN: MY NISSAN 2004 TITAN CREW CAB HAD A VERY SCARY BRAKE PROBLEM TODAY. I LOST MOST OR ALL OF THE BRAKING CAPABILITY IN THE TRUCK. IT HAD A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TRYING TO APPLY BRAKES. THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. I STOPPED THE CAR. CK'ED FLUIDS (ALL OK) AND RESTARTED. PROBLEM WENT AWAY AFTER RESTART. PRETTY CERTAIN THE DEALER WILL NOT FIND A PROBLEM, THEY RARELY DO UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY BROKEN. I HAVE 51K MILES AND SEVERAL BRAKE PROBLEMS. FIRST: IS THIS COVERED BY MY 60K MILE POWER TRAIN WRNTY AND IS THERE A FIX? I HAVE LEFT IT AT THE DEALER TODAY BUT I NEED TO KNOW WHERE THE MANUFACTURER STANDS (IN WRITING OR A REPLY TO THIS EMAIL). SECOND, SINCE THIS IS SUCH A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE WE WILL ASSUME THAT NO REPLY TO THIS EMAIL WITHIN 24HRS MEANS THE CAR IS OK FROM THE MANUFACTURER POINT OF VIEW AND NO ISSUES KNOWN TO THE MANUFACTURER EXISTS THAT DEAL WITH BRAKES OR BRAKE FAILURE. THE D&T OF THIS SUBMISSION IS 3:30 PM FEB 25TH 2007. CC OF THIS SUBMISSION HAS BEE SENT TO THE CPSC AND THE NHTSA. TKS FOR YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION. JOE. *NM
