Differential Unit Problems of Nissan Crew

The rear axle seals on my 2004 Nissan titan are leaking and allowing differential oil to coat my rear brakes causing unsafe braking conditions.

2004 le 4x4 offroad-big tow package with 62,900. Miles. I was leaving my apt. Made a right turn, started to increase speed to 25-35 mph when a clunk noise came from my rear end. I stop to check it out and did not notice anything out of place. Started back up and it continued. So I went straight to the dealership. After they looked at it, they show me metal peaces and how the gear was skipping. There recommendation was replacement of the whole rear end. I'm an easy driver, have not pulled any loads with my truck. 60 months 60,000 miles is the warranty. I'm just outside that by close to 3,000. I would hope this helps, Nissan needs to look into this matter as I have net work and found that this has been a problem with 04-06 tatin.

1. No warning 2. Loud ticking, then thumping under truck 3. Nissan replacing rear differential and axle assembly.

Truck now has 50,000 miles on it. First noticed the rear differential leaking about a year ago. Had Nissan dealer seal it again along with the 3rd brake kit replacement. Noticed a high pitched whine when accelerating and at high speeds. Took it back to Nissan dealer who checked out rear differential and said it needed to be replaced. Truck came with big tow"package. We towed a 3500 lbs. Boat locally during the summer, but it made a once-a-year-round-trip , towing boat between freehold and bassett, va.

Rear end to be replaced, once under warranty and once eight thousand miles after warranty.

I own a 2004 Nissan titan, I have had several issues involving the brakes having a severe vibration problem and have had them fixed at least 3 different time at the dealer, the dealer says the problem is fixed and should not return but it does 6-12 months later. Now the rear differential is going out and the truck is only 2 1/2 years old. I took it to the dealer only to be told it would cost over 3000. 00 dollars to repair. The dealer rep that I spoke to said it was a common problem on this model,I took it to a reputable mechanic in my area to be told it could br repaired for around 1200. 00 dollars. My mecanic did his own research speaking to several area Nissan dealers to be told it was a common problem and it could be repaired but it would most likely happen again and that the entire rear axle should be replaced. I do like the truck and all I want is to have my rear replaced at no cost to me. The truck has not been used for any towing or hauling purposes and has only been in 4 wheel drive when is was a severe snow. It has been used for light four wheel drive use.

Rear electronic locking differential failed, solenoid stuck engaged, rear end popping and hopping.

My 2004 titan le (tow package) had 32000 (+or-) miles when I heard a loud whining noise from the rear end. The dealership examined the truck and advised they had to replace the entire rear end. Now 3500 miles later (total mileage 37000) it has gone out again. Tonight, it's in the shop. Will it go out again? after reading this site, my guess would be an intelligent, yes!.

2004 Nissan titan rear differential failure. Dealer replaced rear end.

Rear differential on my 2004 Nissan titan le replaced after original differential burned up while pulling 6000 lb trailer. While on freeway a bad smell became evident in the cab of the truck , differential was smoking and making noise. Wiring harness burned up going to differential.
