Axle Assembly Problems of Nissan Titan - part 2

At approximately 7000 miles I noted that all of the paint had burned off the rear axle, took truck to the dealer for advise, they told me there was no defect. Over the next few months the rear end began to make excessive noise and I returned truck to dealer. They advised me I needed a new rear axle assembly. After installation of the new rear axle the vehicle developed a vibration at 25-30 mph. The vehicle had been in the repair shop 2 separate visits over 3 days to solve this problem. Dealer said they didn't know what to do, and I am to live with it. Several other trucks had rear axles replaced.

Rear end in my new (2500 miles) Nissan Titan was on its way out(humming). Complained to dealer they said that the humm and metal shavings in the diff were normal. Had to threaten to park truck in their showroom through the window to get them to even look at it. When they did they kept the truck for 5 days to replace rear end that was "normal"according to their tech.

Loud clunk when accelerating, slack in drive line when shifting. Dealer replaced entire rear end.

Rear end failure (many failures have been reported) I have children that ride with me and am concerned if rear end went at speed. Mine was not a total failure, yet. Whinning noise and dash lights made me bring it in. They did some testing and advised me that they would order a new rear end. Told me to drive it till the new one comes in. I think this could be a dangerous situation.

1--nothing/none 2--rear end gears broke, had to be towed 3--replacement of rear end.

Rear differential failure.

I own a 2004 Nissan Titan. The rear end has come apart twice. The first rear end was replaced before it stranded me. The second was replaced after it came apart and the rear end lost all motion. If this would have happened while at interstate speeds, it would most likely caused a wreck.

Rear axle leaked. As a result, the brake pedal slammed to the floor. Consumer had to pump the brake pedal several times in order for the brakes to work.
