POWER TRAIN
AT AROUND 60,000 MILES BOTH MY REAR SEALS AND PINION SEAL BLEW DUE TO A BAD AIR VALVE OR INFERER SEALS, CAUSEING THE REAR BRAKES TO PREMATURLY FAIL, DUE TO THE OIL THAT HAD BEEN SPILLING ON TO THEM, THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE ACCURED ON A VEHICLE WITH MINAMAL MILES AND NO TOWING OR HAULING ... *TT

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
REAR AXLE SEALS HAVE NOW FAILED FOR THE 3RD TIME. NISSAN DEALERS TELLS ME NISSAN WILL NOT PERMIT THEM TO REPLACE SEALS ALONE. NISSAN CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS FIX IS TO REPLACE ENTIRE AXLE ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $800 EACH AXLE. NISSAN IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF A DESIGN PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT TAKE THE LEAD TO FIX, BUT PUT THE COST OF A DEFECTIVE DESIGN ON THE BACK OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. NISSAN SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THERE IS A FLAW IN THE MATERIALS USED IN THE DIFFERENTIAL AND DIFFERENTIAL IS NOT VENTING PROPERLY THUS CAUSING THE SEALS TO PREMATURELY FAIL. I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED SINCE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON NISSAN TITAN TRUCKS THAT NISSAN WILL NOT FACE. SOUNDS LIKE NISSAN IS HAVING A TOYOTA MOMENT AND BURYING THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND. *KB

SUSPENSION
AT 38,000 MILES THE DRIVE SIDE REAR AXLE SEAL ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN STARTED LEAKING SPREADING GREASE ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL. THIS WAS NOT IN ANY WAY DUE TO NEGLECT OF THE VEHICLE, OFF ROAD 4-WHEEL DRIVE DRIVING OR VIA AUTO ACCIDENT AS I DRIVE EXCLUSIVELY ON PAVED ROADS AND THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THIS COULD EASILY HAVE COVERED MY BRAKES WITH GREASE AND OIL AND CAUSED LONGER STOPPING DISTANCES WHICH OF COURSE COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB TRUCK. I HAD HEARD A CLICKING WHILE TURNING A WEEK PRIOR BUT DID NOT HERE IT AGAIN. A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN ALMOST HOME I TURNED THE CORNER AND HEARD A LOUD CLANKING SOUND IN THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. AS I GOT RIGHT AT MY STREET THE BACK END STARTED TO FREEZE UP AS THE TIRES STARTED TO LOCK UP I PARKED THE TRUCK ON SIDE OF ROAD. TRIED TO MOVE IT AFTER I LOOK UNDER THE TRUCK BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHERE I FOUND OUT THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ON IT AT A COST OF $4000.00!!!! I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN IS TELLING ME THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. I JUST THANK GOD THAT I WAS NEXT TO MY HOUSE AS I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL / GOT HURT / OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE IF IT LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I CURRENTLY AWAITING IT TO BE FIXED. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO? *TR
