2 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 02/17/2012

Both rear axle seals started leaking all over my brakes and inside the wheel well causing poor breaking ability. I called the Nissan dealer and they told me this is a common problem with Titans and that they no longer recommend replacing just the seals but instead the whole axle. The tech (who told me he had 20 yrs with Nissan) said that when they used to just replace the seals people would have to come back 6 months later because the seals would blow again. All of the posts online say that it is a result of an improper venting system that does not allow for the release of negative pressure. If this is such a common problem, and Nissan knows that it is, why don't they do a full recall? this is a very dangerous problem that can cause brake failure.

4 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 07/29/2009

Rear axle seal failure. I noticed a driver-side rear seal leak yesterday (7/29/2009). Rear seal is leaking differential fluid over rear brakes causing hazard of a brake failure. The vehicle is a 2006 Nissan Titan king cab xe 2x4 with approximately 25000 mi. Vehicle was purchased new in 2/2007 from dealer. Vehicle has never towed or been off-road. This is a safety concern due to a low mileage vehicle with no abuse having a mechanical failure that could affect a safety feature such as the brakes.

6 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 04/23/2008

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Titan. The contact experienced brake failure. He took the vehicle to a mechanic and was informed that the brakes were underrated (too small) to provide adequate stopping ability for a vehicle of that size. As a result, the brakes dug into the rotors and caused massive damage to the point that they had to be replaced along with the brakes. The dealer stated that the contact would have to pay for the brake repair because the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The failure and current mileages were 12,850.
