REAR AXLE ON MY NISSAN TITAN IS LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ALL OVER MY BRAKES FOR THE 3RD TIME. IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE NISSAN SETUP IS NOT DOING A GOOD JOB (BAD SEALS OR BAD VENTING CAUSING PRESSURE TO DESTROY THE SEALS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE OIL SEEPS ONTO THE BRAKES ONCE THE SEALS HAVE LET GO. *TR

THE AXLE SEALS ON THE NISSAN TITAN BEGAN TO LEAK AND MANY OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. MINE BEGAN TO LEAK AT 36K MILES BUT I HAVE SEEN OTHERS LEAK AS EARLY AS 18K MILES. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED PROPERLY AND FIXED. THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID THAT LEAKS OUT, LEAKS ONTO THE BRAKES AND CAN CAUSE THEM TO FAIL. I NOTICED MY AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING AFTER MY BRAKES STARTED TO SQUEAK, GRIND, AND JOLT THE TRUCK BACK AND FORTH WHILE BRAKING. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR IN NEWER MODELS. I LOVE THE TRUCK BUT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED PROPERLY. RIGHT NOW I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE SEAL THROUGH MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRONE TO HAPPEN. *TR

REAR DIFF WENT OUT ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN. IT WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND IT WENT OUT AT 87K MILES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT NISSAN WILL NOT STEP UP AND PAY FOR THE ITEM THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT. LOOK AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS. I THINK IT IS TIME FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *TR

I HAD DRIVEN FROM MY COLLEGE TO MY CHIROPRACTORS OFFICE WITHOUT ANY INCIDENTS. WHEN LEAVING MY CHIROPRACTORS OFFICE I WAS BACKING OUT OF PARKING STALL WITH WHEELS TURNED TO THE RIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A LOUD POP. BEING A MECHANIC I THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT HAVE UJOINT ISSUES. I CLIMBED UNDER AND CHECKED MY DRIVELINE AND EVERYTHING WAS IN GOOD ORDER. I THEN DROVE BACK TO MY COLLEGE WHERE I COULD GET MY TRUCK ONTO A LIFT AND CHECK IT OUT. IN THE 12 MILES FROM THE CHIROPRACTORS OFFICE TO THE COLLEGE IT HAD PROGRESSED TO THE POINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE. IT WOULD BIND WHEN TURNING LEFT AND DRAG WHEELS AS THOUGHT LIMITED SLIP WAS OUT. OR WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT IT WOULD SOUND AS THOUGH SOMEONE HAD TAKEN A 20 POUND SLEDGE HAMMER AND HIT THE TAIL SHAFT OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE REAR AXLE SEALS AND BEARINGS WERE REPLACED AT 50,000MI UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. AFTER REVIEWING MANY CLAIMS ON THIS DIFFERENTIAL THIS WAS AN INDICATION AS TO THE REAR DIFF GOING OUT. CURRENTLY I HAVE 67,000MI ON IT AND ON THE DEALER LEVEL THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE. HAVE A PHONE INTERVIEW WITH A NISSAN NORTH AMERICA DISTRICT REP TOMORROW AND HOPE TO HAVE THIS CLEARED UP. IF NOT THE QUOTE TO GET A NEW REAR END ASSEMBLY, SINCE YOU CANNOT JUST ORDER THE PUMPKIN, IS $3400.00. I SEE THAT THERE IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH THIS AND HOPE THAT NISSAN WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS. MY TRUCK IS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN LE CREW CAB 4X4 WITH OFFROAD AND TOW PACKAGE. NO MODS HAVE BEEN DONE TO TRUCK WITH EXCEPTION OF PUTTING ON NERF BARS. EVERYTHING ELSE IS WHAT NISSAN SENT IT OUT THE DOORS WITH. THANK YOU *TR

WHILE ROLLING FROM A STOP DRIVING A NISSAN 2005 TITAN TRUCK WITH 84,200 MILES ON IT, I HEARD A NOISE AND SUBSEQUENT CLANGING SOUND. LATER THAT DAY I INVESTIGATED THE SOUND AND DETERMINED IT WAS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER WHO LATER DETERMINED THAT THE PINION GEAR LOSS A TOOTH/TEETH. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I DETERMINED THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM WAS TO INSTALL THE WHOLE REAR END ASSEMBLY INCLUDING HOUSING, GEARS, AND AXLES COSTING $3100 AT THE NISSAN DEALER. THERE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH NISSAN WHICH NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 6, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2009 TITAN, ARMADA, AND INFINITI QX56 VEHICLES. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE MAY INACCURATELY DISPLAY THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL SENDER UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW IMPROVED SENDER CARD. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
NISSAN IS RECALLING 180,664 MY 2005-2006 TITAN, ARMADA AND INFINITY QX56 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER MARCH 17, 2005, THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH A VISTEON AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAN MOTOR. THE FAN MOTOR MAY NOT BE PROPERLY SEALED ALLOWING EXCESSIVE WATER INTRUSION AND INADEQUATE DRAINAGE OF MOISTURE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE CORROSION IN THE MOTOR LEADING POSSIBLY TO OVERHEATING AND A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A 'THERMAL PROTECTOR KIT' AND TEST THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAN MOTOR AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 2, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
ON CERTAIN KING CAB TRUCKS, THE WIRES IN THE HARNESS WERE ROUTED THROUGH THE REAR DOORS AND INTO THE BODY. THESE WIRES MAY BREAK DUE TO OVER BENDING OF THE HARNESS AS THE DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED. THE HARNESS CONTAINS WIRES FOR THE DRIVER SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER AND FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WHICH IS PART OF THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. WIRES FOR THE REAR AUDIO SPEAKERS ARE ALSO CONTAINED N THE HARNESS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE WIRES FOR THE SEAT BELTS AND SPEAKER WIRES BREAK AND MAKE CONTACT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE PRETENSIONER MAY DEPLOY. IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS RETRACTED, IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO USE THE SEAT BELT. IF ONE OF THE WIRES ON THE RIGHT SIDE HARNESS FOR THE SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR BREAKS, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AS DESIGNED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH AND PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIRE HARNESS COVER WITH A DIFFERENT TYPE THAT PREVENTS OVER BENDING OF THE HARNESS AND THE HARNESS WILL BE REROUTED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 19, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
