At 16,000 first axle seal leak. Then at 74000 miles second leak. First was fixed by Nissan and second leak was told could not be fixed,complete rear differential had to be replaced oil getting on brakes and rears that could possibly break easily could be a safety concern. Seems to be a common problem with some Titan trucks. This is the first rear differential I had go in 48 years of driving and attribute this to a bad designed and cost cutting by Nissan.

I was making a turn in the 2004 Nissan Titan with off road package when I heard a clank in the rear end so I drove it home and it was getting worse.

They called the next day and said my rear end is shot and since I have 61,312 miles on the truck they said I missed warranty by 1312 miles, and I have to pay for it. What gets me is I don't even have a hitch on the back, so I have never towed anything. The dealership said they have had problems with the rear end so I think they should fix it.

The rear axle seals on the Nissan Titan years 2004-current have a severe and persistent problem with leaking. I have had my 2006 Nissan Titan in the shop once to replace the right rear axle seal at 18,000 miles and now at 20,000 miles it is leaking again. The location of the leak is what worries me. When the axle seal fails, it sprays gear oil on the brake components (rotors, calipers, pads) and I am worried that the pads will become contaminated and not work effectively when to stop my truck in case of a sudden stop.

Exited off of toll way, and came to a stop at the end of the exit. Accelerated to merge with traffic. Suddenly heard what sounded like an explosion felt bucking then the engine revved up but there was no response from the vehicle. Pulled over, stopped the vehicle and attempted to accelerate again with no response. Put vehicle into 4x4 mode and was able to drive the vehicle home. Had the vehicle towed to dealership, where they ordered and installed a new complete rear end.

Pulled up to stop sign with no previous indication of problem. When I proceeded to turn left, the rear differential started making loud clunking noises and slipped in and out of engagement.

They can give me no estimate as to when I will get my vehicle back.
