2004 Nissan Titan

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 WAS DRIVING A 2004 NISSAN TITAN APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THE MOTOR CUT OFF AND I COASTED TO A STOP. THE MOTOR RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND I ATTEMPTED TO GET TO A REPAIR SHOP. AFTER DRIVING APPROX 3 MILES, THE MOTOR CUT OFF AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND DROVE APPROX 1 MILE TO A REPAIR SHOP. AFTER LEAVING THE REPAIR SHOP, I CALLED TWO NISSAN DEALERS AND BOTH SAID THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE A RECALL THAT NISSAN HAD PLANNED FOR EARLY DEC 2010. ONE OF THEM SUGGESTED THAT I HAVE THE REPAIR SHOP RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TO SEE IF ANYTHING SHOWED AS A PROBLEM. IF NOTHING SHOWED THEN IT WAS PROBABLY RELATED TO THE SCHEDULED RECALL. I CONTACTED THE REPAIR SHOP AND RELAYED THE INFO. AFTER RUNNING THE DIAGNOSTIC, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO WARNINGS. I HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS ABOUT DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH AN ENGINE THAT WILL JUST CUT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WHEN I ASKED THE TWO DEALERS WHAT COULD BE DONE, I WAS TOLD NOT MUCH SINCE THE RECALL ISN'T DUE TO GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL DEC AND THAT THEY (THE DEALERS) HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED TO NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL DEC. IT APPEARS THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT CHOOSES TO IGNORE THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEALS (LEFT AND RIGHT) SHOWING SIGN OF LEAKAGE AT 90,100 MILES. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. 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

FAILURE OF CRACKED MANIFOLD EXHAUST WITH BUILT IN CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAVE CRACKED 3 MANIFOLD EXHAUST DUE TO THE FACT THAT NISSAN DID NOT INSTALL FLEX PIPES IN THEIR EXHAUST SYSTEM. IT IS HAPPENING ON ALL THE TITAN TRUCKS...LOOK AT THE FORUMS AND MY DEALER HAS CONFIRMED IT. EXHAUST IS LEAKING INTO THE CAB AREA. IT COST OVER $900 TO JUST REPAIR THE PART. THEY WILL NOT FIX IT! IT IS LEAKING STRAIGHT EXHAUST FUMES.
