2004 Nissan Titan complaints

I OWN A 2004 TITAN WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. ON 12/3/09 MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL BROKE. I NEVER TOWED ANYTHING WITH THIS TRUCK. I NEVER EVEN HAULED ANYTHING HEAVY IN THE BED. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FAILED DIFFERENTIAL AT MY EXPENSE SINCE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE MY FRONT DIFF BREAKING. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN 4X4. I HAD THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAIL WHILE DRIVING ON A SNOW PACKED ROAD. WHEN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED THERE WAS A SECOND OR TWO WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THEN RELEASED .IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. MY SPEED AT THE TIME WAS ABOUT 15 TO 20 MPH. THE FRONT HAD FAILED AND WAS REPLACED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. *TR

DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. THIS HAS FORCED ME TO DRIVE WITH MY DOOR OPEN NUMEROUS TIMES...HOW IS THIS NOT A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN? WHEN TRYING TO CLOSE THE DOORS THEY BOUNCE BACK OPEN AND DO NOT LATCH. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND HAVE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS. THERE IS 51000 MILES ON IT AND AROUND 22,000 MILES I PUT A LIFT ON IT. EVERYTHING WAS FINE WITH THE TRUCK UNTIL I GOT AROUND THE 35,000 MILE RANGE. WHEN I WOULD DRIVE THE TRUCK I WOULD NOTICE LOUD NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I TOOK IT TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP 2 OR 3 TIMES AND THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THAT IT WAS JUST MY SUSPENSION THAT WAS MAKING THE NOISE. NOW IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 15,000 MILES LATER AND I NOTICED A LEAK COMING FROM AROUND THE FRONT AXLE SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST $2300 TO FIX IT. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM ALOT WITH NISSAN TITANS. WHEN I GOT HOME I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND CLOSE TO 100 PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE THE ONE TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE IS COVERED IN MOLD AND NOW RUST HAS APPEARED. THIS INCLUDES CARPET, SEATS, STEERING WHEEL AND MORE. FRONT RIGHT WHEEL IS ALSO RUSTED.

THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE OCCURRED YESTERDAY 11/1/09 AS I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND PUT ON MY BRAKES AND THE BRAKES BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND A SPRING LIKE NOISE OCCURRED. IN ADDITION THE BRAKES WERE SOFT AND SCRAPING SOUND OCCURRED WHEN APPLIED. THIS OCCURRED EACH TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES FOR THE NEXT 4MILES UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ON THE ENTIRE TIME UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TODAY, MONDAY. LATE SATURDAY, I HAD TO MOVE MY VEHICLE AT HOME AND NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY WITHOUT ANY SOUND OR SOFTNESS.THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. AT THAT TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND LEFT THE VEHICLE WITH THE DEALER OVERNIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS LATE IN THE DAY NEAR CLOSING.. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER SAID THEY TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A TEST DRIVE AND IT REACTED NORMALLY AND "IT PROBABLY WAS SOME DIRT/DUST IN AND AROUND THE BRAKES CAUSING THE BRAKES TO STICK'.. THERE WAS NO WORK DONE ON THE VEHICLE. TODAY, THE SAME DEALER LOOKED AT MY VEHICLE AND RAN SOME TESTS AFTER I INSISTED THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE SAME THING HAS OCCURRED. THIS TIME THE DEALER FOUND A DEFECTIVE/WORN DELTA SPEED SENSOR AND RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE WARRANTY EXPIRED 1/1/09.

PULLED SLOWLY FROM A MCDONALD'S DRIVE THROUGH INTO HALTED TRAFFIC (RED LIGHT). AS I PULLED OUT OF DRIVE THROUGH, HEARD BIG BANG AND FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED. TRIED TO ACCELERATE, TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE, AND I COULD HEAR AN AUDIBLE CLICKING NOISE AT WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN TIRE ROTATION SPEED. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER. CHARGED $3,798.22 TO REPLACE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WAITING TO HEAR BACK FORM NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WILL REIMBURSE FOR AT LEAST COST OF PART(3223.00.) *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN SE. TWO YEARS AGO MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT. I PAID $4000 TO GET IT FIXED AT NISSAN OF PANAMA CITY CAUSE THEY SAID IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT OFTEN.

2004 NISSAN TITAN - 50,000K MILES. NOTICED A REAR SEAL LEAKING ONTO BY TIRES AND ON MY BRAKES FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UNIT HAS NOT FAILED AS OF DATE BUT SERVICE DEPT SAYS ANY DAY IT WILL. GRENADA NISSAN OFFERED TO REPLACE BECAUSE OF KNOWN ISSUES, BUT NISSAN HEADQUARTERS HAS NOT HONORED WARRANTY TO DATE, B/C IT IS 6 MONTHS TOO LATE. WILL NOT HONOR WARRANTY. CONCERNED IF IT FAILS AT INTERSECTION OR GOING DOWN ROAD AN ACCIDENT WITH BODILY INJURY CAN OCCUR. THE FLUID ON BRAKES MAY ALSO CAUSE SLIPPAGE WHILE BRAKING. VERY DANGEROUS. NISSAN QUOTED REPAIR NEAR 3500$. HAS BEEN KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN AND NHTSA. OVER 70 COMPLAINTS FILED, LUCKILY NO INJURY TODATE. THIS FAILURE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN NA, AND HAVE YET TO FIX FLAW ON THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE BEWARE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO NOT ONLY THE VEHICLE'S DRIVER AND PASSENGER, BUT TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN HAS BEEN HAVING PERIODIC COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 7-8 TIMES. STARTED ABOUT 25,000 MI, CURRENTLY AT 34,000 MI. TOOK TO DEALER ON 8-1-09, DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER, SAID IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABS AND VDC CONTROLS AND THAT THIS WOULD FIX IT, YESTERDAY ON 8-22-09 IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER NORMAL DRIVING AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY, VERY SCARY. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS, IF YOU SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART, THE BRAKES ARE BACK AND SEEM TO BE WORKING FINE, THEY CAN GO FOR A WHILE WITH NO PROBLEM, THEN ONE DAY THEY WILL JUST NOT BE THERE, PUMPING THE BRAKE GIVES LITTLE BRAKE EFFECT AND A NOISE EMITS FROM UNDER THE HOOD, A STRANGE SOUND I HAVE NEVER HEARD COME FROM A VEHICLE BEFORE, BRAKES WILL GO TO FLOOR AND WILL NOT STOP IF HELD, HAVE TO PUMP LIKE CRAZY AND RESORT TO EMERGENCY STOPPING METHODS SUCH AS E-BRAKE, DOWNSHIFT AND RUBBING TIRES AGAINST CURB OR DRIVING INTO SOFT SAND TO STOP VEHICLE. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH TITANS AND ARMADAS (SAME EXACT VEHICLE MECHANICALLY). THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, I AM USED TO OLD CARS THAT HAVE PROBLEMS, THIS REALLY CATCHES YOU OFF GUARD. I WISH TO FILE A COMPLAINT AS THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR ROAD. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK ON 2004 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 CREW CAB WITH ONLY 47,000 MILES. REAR AXLE FLUID WAS LEAKING ONTO THE LEFT REAR BRAKE BACKING PLATE, IT WAS STARTING TO RUN ONTO THE BRAKE DISC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT 52,000 MILES THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE DIFFERENTIAL SEAL FAILED. ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2009 HE NOTICED A LEAK FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.

HAVEN'T REPAIRED YET WILL NOT FILE UNDER EXTENDED COVERAGE, 2004 NISSAN TITAN CREWCAB 5.6 LITER, REAR END HOUSING AND AXLE SEALS LEAKING, NOTICED IT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, HAD TO ADD SOME FLUID TO REAR DIFFERENTIAL, ON MY OWN. *TR

I AM A OWNER OF A 2004 NISSAN TITAN WHO HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS IN THE PAST. HOWEVER, I ALMOST GOT INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT YESTERDAY, AS I HAD NO BRAKING ON MY REAR WHEELS. AFTER INSPECTING THE REAR BRAKES AND WHY THEY FAILED, I NOTICED THAT MY SEALS ON THE REAR AXEL IS LEAKING OIL ONTO MY BRAKES PADS. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN CREWCAB SLE -2 WHEEL DRIVE. FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, COMING TO A STOP SIGN I PUT ON THE BRAKES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY BRAKES. HEARD LOUD NOISES LIKE THE ABS WAS KICKING IN AND OUT AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARDER TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL I GOT THE TRUCK HOME. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET WITH NISSAN TITAN WEB FORUMS I FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE WITH TITAN'S HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS. FROM WHAT I GATHER IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AT FAULT. ALSO I FOUND OUT THAT ONCE YOU TURN OFF THE IGNITION THE SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE BACK TO NORMAL. I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING AND RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. NISSAN WANTS $850 OR MORE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER (TRUCK OUT OF WARRANTY). NISSAN NEEDS TO COME CLEAN AND REALIZE THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TITAN'S BRAKE BOOSTER. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN; REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING: 1. IN SHOP FOR TIRE ROTATION, MECHANIC SAW FLUID FROM REAR AXLE ON INSIDE OF MY WHEELS. 2. NOT SURE HOW LONGS ITS BEEN LEAKING. APPEARS TO BE AN ON GOING PROBLEM FOR OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS (MULTIPLE SEAL REPLACEMENTS). CONSEQUENCES ARE FLUID CAN LEAK ONTO BRAKES CAUSING A BRAKING FAILURE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH AND POSSIBLE DEATH. 3. NOTHING DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. CONTACTING MECHANIC TODAY. *NISSAN NEEDS A RECALL ON THIS* *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE ON NISSAN 04 TITAN COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE BY LEAKING ON PAD AND ROTOR. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE. FIRST NOTICE OIL LEAKING FROM BOTH AXLE SEALS WHEN CHANGING SHOCKS AT 41,000 MILES. BROUGHT TO DEALER WAS TOLD AXLE SEALS HAD FAILED AND WERE GOING TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, AT 44,400 MILES WENT TO GET INSPECTION STICKER AND THE PARKING BRAKE FAILED, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATING THIS WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SEALS HAD FAILED AGAIN AND SLUNG OIL ALL OVER THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM I WOULD THINK THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS TIME THEY FIXED THE SEALS BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE FAILING DUE TO THE FACT OF A PROBLEM WITH THE AXLE, NOW I AM OVER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY AND THERE TELLING ME IT MY NOT BE COVERED STILL WAITING TO HEAR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED TO BE FIXED AT NISSANS EXPENSE. ONE TIME THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND SOMEONE'S BRAKE ARE GOING TO FAIL FROM THE OIL AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH! SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE BEFORE ITS TO LATE. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN WILL NOT SHIFT DUE TO A FAULTY/ SHEARED WIRE IN THE COLUMN SHIFTER. WHILE TOWING IT CREATES A HAZARDOUS CONDITION DUE TO THE INABILITY TO SHFT GEARS. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN BRAKE FAILURE. POWER BOOSTER SENSOR IS GOING OUT AND CAUSES MUSHY AND VIOLANT BRAKE PEDAL -- UNABLE TO STOP SAFELY. SOMETIMES IT WORKS, SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. DEALER FLASHED THE BRAKE COMPUTER...IT DID NOT WORK. SAID THAT THE POWER BOASTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $900 PLUS...I THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. XTREME SAFETY ISSUE. THERE SEEMS TO BE A TSB OUT ON IT..BUT NO RECALL. NEED A RECALL...PEOPLE COULD BE KILLED. *TR

BRAKES GO INTO IN ABS MODE FOR NO REASON, TRUCK BECOMES HARD TO STOP; ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY- 80 DEGREES AND SUNNY. I WAS COMING HOME FROM THE NISSAN DEALER BECAUSE OF A BRAKE, SLIP, VDC LIGHT (ANYTIME) AND BRAKE LIGHT - ABS COMING ON (ONLY DURING BRAKING), BOTH ARE INTERMITTENT. THE FRIDAY BEFORE I HAD NISSAN LOOK AT THIS VERY CONDITION(S) THEY AGREED I HAD A PROBLEM, AND UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE. 2 DAYS LATER THE LIGHT STILL CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE TRUCK AND RESTARTING, THE LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON, SOMETHING THAT DID NOT USE TO HAPPEN. . . NISSAN HAS A BRAKE ISSUE, I'VE SEEN MANY OF COMPLAINTS THAT ARE THE SAME AS MINE- LOSS OF BRAKING BECAUSE THE ABS KICKS ON (BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS) AND WILL NOT CORRECT/STOP IT-SELF UNTIL THE ENGINE IS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. RESTARTING THE TRUCK WHEN THE ABS IS HAMPERING THE STOPPING ABILITY IS NOT VERY PRACTICAL, AND VERY DANGEROUS IN MOST DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME I CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT AND SWERVED TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. SINCE THE 2ND VISIT TO NISSAN I HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER WITH STABILITY CONTROL OPTION REPLACED, THAT WAS THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDATION AFTER THEY DOWNLOADED THE CODES(X2), THEY STATED THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED. COST FOR REPAIR WAS QUOTED AT $650.00. *TR

REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING CAUSING DIFFICULT BRAKING, GRINDING NOISE AND TAKE OFF PROBLEMS. VEHICLE IS AN 2004 TITAN WITH 58500 MILES. ALL STOCK, NO TOWING. DEALER WILL LOOK AT IT BUT WON'T WARRANTY WORK. *TR

REAR SHACKLE IN 2004-2008 NISSAN TITAN IS WEAK DESIGN, PRONE TO FAILURE. I HAVE PROOF OF SEVERAL DOCUMENTED CASES IN WHICH THE REAR SHACKLE UNFOLDS AND THE LEAF SPRING SLAMS THROUGH THE BED OF THE TRUCK, WHICH CAN RESULT IN SUDDEN LOSS OF CONTROL. IT HAS HAPPENED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, AS WELL AS WHEN TOWING, OFF-ROADING, ETC. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BEFORE IT HAPPENS, ALL THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS TO REPLACE THE SHACKLES BEFORE THEY FAIL AND BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN. IF THE SHACKLE FAILS, IT MUST BE REPLACED, AND THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED FOR SAFETY, AND THE BED MUST BE REPLACED. *TR

NOTICED REDUCED BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS, LOOKED UNDER VEHICLE AT REAR BRAKES, FLUID HAS BEEN LEAKING FROM FAULTY REAR AXLE SEALS, CAUSING FLUID TO CONTAMINATE BRAKE PARTS, CREATING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK. 3RD FAILURE OF SAME SEAL IN 6 MONTHS. FAILURE RESULTS IN DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ONTO BRAKES RESULTING IN BRAKING LIMITATIONS AND FAILURE, POTENTIAL FOR FIRE. DEALER IS PRESUMABLY GOING TO REPLACE SEAL... AGAIN. *TR

REAR AXLE IS LEAKING ON BOTH ROTORS AS OF NOW. *TR

THE SIDE AIR BAGS OF MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN DEPLOYED AS I WAS DRIVING. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30MPH ON A ASPHALT SURFACED ROAD WHEN THE AIR BAGS JUST DEPLOYED. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY GOING 30MPH SO I DID NOT CRASH. NISSAN HAS BEEN CONTACTED BUT IT SEEMS THAT THEY'RE GOING OUT OF THEIR WAY TO TRY AN PROVE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS IN A WRECK. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED AND HAS A CLEAN CARFAX AS WELL AS AN AUTOCHECK. *TR

BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS REPLACED ONCE ALREADY. WHEN THE SEALS LEAK THE GEAR OIL SPREADS ONTO THE BRAKE BACKING AND INTERIOR OF THE WHEEL CAUSING POTENTIAL BRAKE PROBLEMS. *TR

REAR AXLE SEALS LEAK CAUSING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID TO SEEP OUT ONTO THE BRAKE ROTORS. BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES HAVE HAD PROBLEMS. *TR

DURING ROUTINE SERVICE CHECKS, NOTICED REAR END LUBE LEAKING FROM THE REAR, PASSENGER SIDE OUTER SEAL. LUBE WAS LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKE ALSO CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. REPLACED SEAL AND BRAKES ON REAR OF VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH A DANA REAR AXLE. I WAS NOTIFIED BY A NISSAN DEALER THAT THE AXLE SEAL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE AXLE FLUID WAS DRAINING DOWN THE REAR BRAKE WHICH COULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE BRAKING PERFORMANCE AND RESULT IN AN UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION. *TR

REAR WHEEL SEALS CONTINUE TO LEAK EVEN AFTER BEING REPLACED,DIFFERENTIAL AND AXLE HAVE TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE PUMPKIN AREA,CAUSING THE SEALS TO BREAK. THE DEALER HAD MY TRUCK FOR (14) DAYS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AFTER DISASSEMBLING THE DIFFERENTIAL DUE TO A CONFLICT BETWEEN THEM AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ON WHO WAS GOING TO PAY FOR THE ($3,000.00) REAR. THIS HAS LEFT ME IN LIMBO SO I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER TO DISCUSS THE MODIFIED REAR THAT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM ON THESE 2004 TITANS AND HAVE A MODIFIED REPLACEMENT REAR,THEN WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL?SHOULDN'T THE MANUFACTURER BE RESPONSIBLE AND HAVE DECENCY TO CORRECT THEIR PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. HE DROVE TO HIS RESIDENCE AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MAKE A CLANKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE REAR AXLE AND THE GEARS INSIDE THE AXLE FAILED. THE CONTACT PAID APPROXIMATELY $3,300 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 67,400.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TOTAL REPLACEMENT. DEALER INSPECTION NOTED THAT IF VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN ANY FURTHER A TOTAL LOCK UP OR INABILITY TO BE DRIVEN WOULD OCCUR. APPEARS TO BE A LONG LIST OF REAR AXEL/DIFFERENTIAL FAILURES WITH THIS VEHICLE. DEALER NOTED IT ALSO APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED NOT JUST ON HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLES. VEHICLE REQUIRES TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF REAR AXEL. THE VEHICLE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF FAILURE. THE GEARS IN THE DIFFERENTIAL BREAK APART. *TR

LEAKING REAR AXLE SEAL ON PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND NISSAN HAS HAD ME AND MANY OTHERS IN ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS TO REPAIR THE FRONT BRAKES. THE FRONT WHEEL WOULD SHAKE WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES. JUST BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT THEY SAID THEY HAD A FIX. THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE ROTORS BECAUSE THE WERE TO SMALL FOR THE TRUCK. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE REPAIR, THE THIRD REPAIR, THE HAD COME UP WITH ANOTHER FIX THEY SAID AND IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I DID NOTICE THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT FUNNY. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT, BUT IT ALMOST FELT LIKE IT WAS APPLYING MORE PRESSURE TO THE REAR BRAKES TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE ON THE FRONT END. ANYWAY, SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE A COMPANY VEHICLE AND I HAVE ONLY PUT 16K MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE FRONT END IS SHAKING AGAIN WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. THE MORE THE SPEED AND THE HARDER YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE MORE IT SHAKES. ALSO, I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE BRAKES WERE SHAKING THE FRONT END TO SHAKE, SOMETHING IN THE FRONT END POPS, LIKE WHEN YOU TOP A HILL. IT HAS GONE AWAY EVERY TIME THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE BRAKES, BUT WHEN THE SHAKING STARTS BACK SO DOES THE POPPING. I'M NOT TO CONCERNED ABOUT THE POPPING, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SHAKING. THE LAST THING, TWO OF THE THREE TIMES THEY ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE BRAKES, THEY HAVE ALSO TURNED THE ROTORS. ROTORS CAN ONLY BE TURN A COUPLE OF TIMES AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I FEEL THEY CHEAPED OUT ON THE REPAIR BY PATCHING THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. I WISH YOU GUYS WOULD LOOK I
