I STARTED MY TRUCK, PUT IN GEAR AND IT MADE A VERY UGLY NOISE IN THE REAR. I TRIED DRIVE AND REVERSE AND IT DID THE SAME THING IN BOTH GEARS. I CALLED NISSAN, HAD THEM TOW IT AND THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE ENTIRE REAR END. I ONLY HAD 30K ON MY TRUCK WITH MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES.*JB

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT
EARLY DECEMBER 06 - I NOTICED FLUID UNDER FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THAT STUB SHAFT (WHICH BOLTS TO FRONT CV) HAD PULLED OUT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. PUSHED IT BACK IN BUT OIL SEAL HAD BEEN DAMAGED SO IT WAS STILL LEAKING. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY WOULDN'T COVER UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO AFTERMARKET LIFT (EVEN THOUGH THEY SELL A VERSION OF MY TRUCK WITH THIS LIFT INSTALLED BY THE FACTORY). PAID $380 TO GET A NEW SEAL INSTALLED. LATE DECEMBER 06 - 2 WEEKS AFTER REPAIR I FOUND FLUID UNDER THE TRUCK AGAIN. PUSHED IT BACK IN AND LEAK STOPPED. JANUARY 07 - WHILE IN MEXICO, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING 4WD ON HARD PACKED SAND. I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK I FOUND THAT THE SAME SHAFT WAS OUT AGAIN. TURNS OUT THE SHAFT HAS SPLINES AND A SMALL CIRCLIP TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. THE CIRCLIP IS UNDERSIZED SO IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT 1 POUND OF FORCE TO SEPARATE THE 2 PIECES. THIS MOST RECENT TIME OCCURRED UNDER LOAD SO WHEN THE SHAFT SHOT OUT, THE SPLINES GOT DAMAGED. SINCE I WAS A DAY'S DRIVE SOUTH OF THE BORDER I HAD TO FILE AND THEN HAMMER THE SHAFT BACK INTO PLACE. NISSAN DENIED MY WARRANTY, AGAIN BLAMING THE LIFT FOR THE PROBLEM. I FOUND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, MOST WITHOUT LIFTS. I TALKED TO A TECHNICIAN AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN OREGON AND HE CONFIRMED THAT HE HAS SEEN SEVERAL FRONT DIFFERENTIALS WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE SUSPECTED THAT THE CV JOINTS DON'T STRETCH AS WELL WHEN WEATHER IS COLD THEREBY PULLING THE STUB SHAFTS OUT WHEN THE WHEELS ARE TURNED. MOST VEHICLES HE HAD SEEN WERE STOCK. HE ALSO SAID THAT NISSAN HAD A REDESIGNED DIFFERENTIAL THAT THE TECH'S ARE SUPPOSED TO INSTALL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A FACTORY REP. NISSAN FINALLY AGREED TO DO A ONE-TIME FRONT DIFFERENTIAL REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN APPLYING BRAKE FORCEFULLY THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES DOWN FURTHER THAN EXPECTED. WHICH IN TURN, CAUSES THE CONTACT TO ALSO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE TRYING TO JUST APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN TITAN WHO DETERMINED THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5000, AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,000.*AK THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. UPDATED 04/05/07. *JB

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
WHILE TURNING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, MULTIPLE LOUD CLUNKS CAME FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND THE TRUCK HESITATED AS IF THE REAR AXEL WAS BINDING. UPON REVIEW IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS BINDING WHENEVER THE WHEELS BECAME OUT OF SYNC (STEERING LEFT OR RIGHT EVEN SLIGHTLY). THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS IF OCCURRING IN THE STREET AND NOT A PARKING LOT. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO PROMPT NISSAN TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND FIX IT. THIS IS A DEALER REPAIR ONLY ISSUE AS NO AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT PARTS CAN BE FOUND. WITH NISSAN REPLACEMENT DIFFERENTIALS AT $3000.00 EACH, I'M SURE NISSAN WOULD NOT MIND KEEPING A LID ON THIS ISSUE SO WE CAN KEEP BUYING THEIR PARTS. IT'S TIME SOMETHING WAS DONE BEFORE ANYONE SERIOUSLY GETS HURT WHEN THEIR VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPS IN HARMS WAY DUE TO A KNOWN COMMON FAILURE IN THE DRIVELINE. *NM

MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 CREW CAB LE HAS 26,000 MILES ON IT. EXTREMELY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND NEVER DRIVEN HARD. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP AND MADE AN HUGE BANG NOISE. ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE REPLACING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY. IF YOU SEARCH ON THE INTERNET, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE FRONT AND REAR DIFFERENTIALS BLOW UP ON THE 2004-2005 NISSAN TITANS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *NM

I BOUGHT MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB 4X4 LE NEW IN MAY OF 2005. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY BRAKES/ROTORS REPLACED AND RESURFACED 3 TIMES DO TO SEVER BRAKE VIBRATION. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT 7500 MILES, SECOND WAS AT 15000 MILES AND NOW AT 25000 MILES. THIS IS HORRIBLE AND VERY DANGEROUS. THE BRAKES ARE OBVIOUSLY UNDERSIZED FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS ADVERTISED TO TOW 10,000 LBS, AND I AM HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITHOUT EVER TOWING ANYTHING. *NM

WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY,THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BEGAN SHUDDERING VERY BADLY,MAKING LOUD METALLIC SNAPPING NOISES. THE TRUCK WOULD BARELY MOVE OUT OF THE INTERSECTION(10 MPH MAXIMUM).VERY,VERY SCARY CONSIDERING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC!DEALERSHIP SAID "THE ENTIRE DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED"AND THEY WOULD "EMERGENCY OVERNIGHT" AN ENTIRE NEW REAR-END. THAT WAS 2 DAYS AGO, AND THE DEALERSHIP CALLED TODAY AND SAID IT MIGHT BE READY TOMORROW. I HAVE ONLY 20K MILES ON MY TRUCK ,AND IT HAS LED A RATHER EASY LIFE(NO ABUSE,TOWING,ETC.),THE DEALERSHIP STILL WON'T TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE,OR IF I WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE OLD PARTS. *JB
