2004 Nissan Titan

AT AROUND 106,00 MILES THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO DESTROY ABS SENSOR AND PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY. 2,000 MILES LATER PASSENGER SIDE REAR SEAL BLEW OUT AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL TOTALLY LOCKED UP. THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN DEFECT THAT NISSAN SIMPLY WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE. THIS REPAIR ENDED UP COSTING AROUND $4,100 TO REPAIR AT MY EXPENSE, ON TOP OF THE $900 PAID PREVIOUSLY TO REPAIR ORIGINAL SEAL FAILURE. *LN

DRIVING WHEN I HEARD NOISES FROM BACK OF TRUCK 2004 NISSAN TITAN STOPPED AND CHECKED , CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND FOUND OUT I HAD BLEW REAR AXLE SEAL AND THE PIN FROM THE REAR END AND NOW I NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR END CALLED NISSAN THEY SAID 2006 WAS CORRECTED AND TO LOOK FOR ALUMINUM COVER ONES BECAUSE THE STEEL COVER ONES WERE THE OLD VERSION. YES THERE ARE 339 COMPLAINTS ON HERE FOR POWERTRAIN ISSUES FOR 2004 TITAN. THANKS. *TR

1. HEARD A POPPING / GRINDING NOISE ONCE PUT IN GEAR AND WHILE MOVING UP TO 50 MPH. 2.BOTH REAR AXLE BEARINGS AND SEALS ON 2004 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB BAD WAS TOLD COULD DAMAGE REAR END GEARS AND POSSIBLY WHEELS FALLING OFF IN TRANSIT. 3. REPLACED BOTH REAR AXLE BEARINGS AND SEALS TO ALSO INCLUDE RING-SNAP, AXLE SPACER, LEFT REAR WHEEL SENSOR. *TR

THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE REPLACED WITH OEM 2 YEARS AGO. THEY ARE NOW LEAKING AGAIN ALLOWING GEAR LUBE TO RUN DOWN THE TUBES ONTO THE REAR BRAKES AND TIRES. RENDERING THE REAR BRAKES AND PARKING BRAKES USELESS AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS MAKES THE PARKING BRAKE USELESS PUTTING THE WHOLE TRUCKS WEIGHT CONSTANTLY ON THE PARK PIN OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS REAR BRAKE LOSS CAUSED BRAKE FADE OF THE FRONT BRAKE COMING OFF AN INTERSTATE NEARLY REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. I SAW ON THE FORUMS AND YOUR OWN COMPLAINT SEARCH THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON AND DANGEROUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. THE PROBLEM MUST LAY IN THE AXLES AND NOT THE SEAL THEMSELVES TO BE GOING SO OFTEN. I TOW SOMETIMES AND THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER SO I MUST FIX THE PROBLEM ASAP. I HAVE TO REPLACE BRAKES AND ROTORS ALL THE WAY AROUND ALONG WITH PARKING SHOES AXLE SEALS AND BEARING RETAINERS. THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JULY 2006 WITH 51, 100 MILES AND DISCOVERED BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING. NISSAN REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE IN JULY 2006. NOW 5 YEARS AND 39,000 MILES LATER THE PROBLEM RETURNED. *TR
