My rear differential has failed under normal operating conditions, almost causing me to wreck. Apparently, this is not a new issue with these trucks. I was driving 50mph when the rear end made a pop and I lost the ability to drive.
Rear axle seal has a leak. This leak is caused to incredibly poor ventilation of the rear differential. The check valve allows water into the case and does not allow for proper ventilation. This, in turn, causes overheating and seals to fail. This repair has happened on this truck for the second time now, with no acknowledgement form the manufacturer.
Rear differential axle seals are bad and leaking rear differential fluid on emergency and rear brake pads.
Rear differential is leaking oil on passenger and driver sides. The oil leak has the potential to deteriorate my brakes and cause an accident.
I noticed a whining nose from 45 to 70 mph. It got real loud ad 60-65 mph. My Titan is regularly serviced with differential fluid changes, and all maintenance. The truck has 112,000 miles on it. I was just told that they need to replace the rear differential on the truck, at a cost of $2448 plus tax on a vehicle that is very well maintained and taken care of. No excuse for it, and ridiculous.
Passenger side rear axle seal failed. Fluid is leaking on the back side of brake shield on to wheel. May be leaking inside the rotor drum on the emergency brake also. 4x4 oem e-locker on rear differential oem wheels and tires differential fluid changed twice original owner.
The rear axle seals leak and the rear differential fluid is all over the brakes. This needs to be recalled as it is a known defect with this vehicle and has been reported many times.
Rear axle seal leak on my 2007 Nissan Titan xe. Differential oil on rear brakes caused major safety problem.

We purchased the Nissan Titan new in 2007. The first repair for the rear differential (axle bearing was leaking) was on 1/13/2010 34,617 miles. The second repair for the same issue was 3/29/2012 with 79,010 miles. The vehicle has now again been diagnosed with the same rear differential problem at 115,000 miles. This has been a consistent reoccuring issue every 35 - 40,000 miles and it is now recommended that a full replacement of the rear differential is needed to fully fix the problem. This is a huge problem that Nissan needs to address from both a safety perspective should the vehicle lock up and the expensive repairs.
1. Clunking noise on slight takeoff in drive or reverse, driveline vibration at highway speeds, excessive slop or play in the drivetrain. 2. If the diff had failed completely, could seize locking the rear wheels, could cause you to lose power to drive wheels while merging 3. Entire rear axle assembly and driveshaft replaced.
Vehicle bought brand new and after 3500 miles continual clicking noise from drivetrain, took to dealer and had for 2 weeks and got it back and started doing it again within a day. Took back in and dealer said it was the rear differential and replaced entire rear axle at 9230 miles.
