On a recall for a faulty ecm (engine control module). The vehicle stalled and would not start again, had it towed to dealer. Nissan covered this ecm. During the repair the mechanic noted that the rear axle seals were leaking and recommended that they be repaired as soon as possible. The cost to repair was estimated at $750. 00. While web surfing for the repair process for the seals I ran across many complaints concerning this problem with the Nissan Titan including models from 2004 to present (2012). Based on the feedback from other Titan owners, this is a common flaw with the vehicle and a costly one at that. Also this is the first time I have ever witnessed rear axle seals failing in a vehicle. Most seem to last the life time of the vehicle. I believe this is a manufacture's responsiblity due to a defective parts creating an unsafe and useless means of transportation.
2006 Nissan Titan se rear left seal leaking fixed under warranty. Now the same issue on the left rear seal is leaking again and also the right rear seal is starting to leak. Based on all my research I have done this seems to be an ongoing issue and should be continued to be covered after the warranty has expired. What are my options. My truck is now at the dealer and I should not have to pay for repairs. My truck has only 88,000 miles.
Rear axle seals leaking fluid. Safety issue due to fluid possibly leaking onto break pads and lack of lubrication fluid could lead to axle locking while in motion.
I have taken this avenue due to the fact that the phone numbers they gave me on my recall notice went no where. It seemed the 2 numbers I did call were no help so I am resorting to the internet process they offered. In my notification it states that the Nissan Titan/armada's - 2005-2006 models - that the air conditioner condenser fan motor have been manufactured out of specifications, that inadequate water drainage allows moisture to build-up leading to increased temperatures in the motor which in turn could cause wiring to melt the insulation and other plastic components and ultimately result in a fire. Now there solution is to install a special protector kit to eliminate a potential fire to occur. My complaint is that if indeed these have been manufactured out of spec's then they need to be replaced not modified. I would hope that they would stand up and take responsibility and do the right thing, after all we paid a good sum of money for these vehicles and expect these items when they arrive to be handled in a professional manner, not by some rinky-dinky part installed to get them out of this problem that has risen. All I ask is that this be looked into, I'm not saying the part they wish and have already installed from my information on vehicles already wouldn't suffice but that is not what I paid for. Thank-you.

So of these issues are just now popping. Only 2 of the issues have been taken care of. Per the dealership I would be contacted and have not received any calls to get these matters taken care of. I feel this vehicle is unsafe since the issues have not be addressed.
The vdc [vehicle dynamic control] kept shutting off. This is a safety feature to regulate motion and speed of the 4 wheels. The vdc would not turn back on with the vdc dash button. The dealer stated the rear differential bearings had failed and the Titan was unsafe to drive. It's been at the dealer waiting for a new rear differential for 2 weeks. The truck was not delivered with the power folding - auto dim exterior mirrors; the xm radios did not work; bed extender not installed; gas tank wasn't full as promised.
