2005 Nissan Titan complete rear end failure. No warning just locked up while going down the road.
Discovered leak in the rear axle seal.
Brought Nissan Titan to mechanic to have brakes checked. Upon replacement of brakes found that the rear seal had failed and grease had covered the right wheel well and tire rim. Seals and bearing had to be replaced.
I own a 2005 Nissan Titan that has had the rear end diff and axle replaced twice by Nissan at 98,000 miles Nissan discovered the rear seals leaking, and did nothing about it, I tried to secure a lawyer, the cost was astronomical, at 102,000 miles the valve body in the trans has failed, as a result I contacted Nissan north America spoke to gordon middleton, whom on behalf of nna after a sixweek discovery advised me that nna would not be able to assist me, even after promising repairing the rear seal in earlier conversation, later refused to lift a hand, costing me six weeks of car rental cost, and the agonizing pain of waiting on a decision that would never come anyway. Please assist me in this matter my 2005 Nissan Titan le is still not fixed.
Manual shift button does not work on Nissan Titan.
Transmission cooler line leaks due to poor factory clamps. This has been reported on many other fellow Titan owners. I had to pay the dealership to fix this since the truck is not out of warranty.
Nissan failed to replace a transmission under the 60k powertrain warranty. The truck is currently at 56k miles, and has been out of use since November 11th. The vehicle falls under the north carolina lemon law: as with other lemon laws, it is required that automobile manufacturers repurchase or replace a vehicle that has not been properly repaired within a "reasonable number of attempts". In north carolina, this reasonable number is four attempts or if the car has been out of service waiting repair for a cumulative total of 20 or more business days during any 12-month period of the warranty. It has been out since November 11th, and they still want me to pay for the cost of the transmission when they should cover it no questions asked.
Rear end of truck gave out.
To the best of my knowledge the manual shift button simply stopped working. It fails to engage the manual shifting mode for the vehicle transmission which causes excessive rpm in the 4-wheel drive low configuration. A local Nissan service dealer reviewed the issue and offered a fix that was not guaranteed to alleviate the problem. The initial fix was estimated to be approximately $500.
(1)rear end brakes no movement while driving (2)fortunately incident happened at night with not a lot of traffic and no accident happened, however if this happened during the day it could have caused a major accident. The vehicles rear end, driving force, failed causing the vehicle to stop while driving and roll backwards while gas pedal is pressed. (3)vehicle was put into 4hi to get home, this occured Saturday night, have to wait till Monday to have vehicle towed to Nissan dealership.
We purchased a truck from Nissan in October of 2004. It has been in the shop many times and in December of 2004, it was there over 30 days. The transmission and the rear end have both gone out, windows don't roll up and down correctly, rattling in the cab where the visor and garage door openers are held. The brake, vdc, tow, and abs switch stay on all the time. The brakes are going out and the whole truck shimmies. Now in addition to the transmission being replaced once, it's slipping again. Nissan stated they would pay for the rental on the 30 days, but that was a lie. They socked me with an $283. 00 bill. $181. 00 was to fill up the tank with gas!!!!!!! there are also missing valves on the tires they themsleves took off and didn't replace and the alarm goes off by itself when no one is around. Give me a break. . . Nissan states this does not qualify for the lemon law. I need help in this situation.
