36 Wheel problem of the 2005 Nissan Titan

Failure Date: 05/31/2011

Back in may of 2011 I was driving my Nissan Titan truck down the highway with my two girls 6 & 7 year old when I heard the truck making a noise out of the rear . I slow down and immediately pulled over to the side of road not knowing what had happened. I drove the vehicle back to my home and called the dealership. When I took my 2005 Nissan Titan to the dealership in vineland new jersey they stated that the problem with my truck was the rear and needed to be replaced. They stated that the repair cost for the whole rear was $3,800 in order for it to be repaired. They stated that my truck was out of warranty by 2 months even though I only had 38,836 miles on it. I asked why couldn't the pumpkin in the rear be fixed and Nissan stated they do not just fix the pumpkin. They would have to replace the whole rear in the truck costing me $3,800. 00. I cailed eaton and spoke to ryan divine. Eaton rep stated that he has never heard of this problem, part (tt913a582) eaton posi. Ryan stated to me that they make this rear for Nissan. Ryan stated that Nissan engineers, engineer part and they only make it for them. I took the vehicle to a local shop to be repaired which stated that the repairs would cost me $1,358. 90. The auto repair center that I took my Nissan titian to, stated that there was many many many complaints about the rears in the Nissan Titans starting from 2005 to 2010. It was actually being reported online search. As I looked online I could see many complaints about the Nissan Titan rears with the same problem. So my question to the government supervisor paid by taxpayers, does it take 30 people to die in order to fix the problem and blame it on Nissan just like you did to gm. Fix the problem. So go online and read. Take matters seriously!! I extricate people out of vehicles for a living when they are in car accidents dead or alive. Thank you t. S.

37 Wheel problem of the 2006 Nissan Titan

Failure Date: 10/23/2010

Both rear axle seals are leaking on my 2006 Nissan Titan. The passenger side is so bad the gear oil has slung all over the wheel and the parking brake shoes are dripping wet.

38 Wheel problem of the 2004 Nissan Titan

Failure Date: 07/01/2010

Rear axle seals on my Nissan 2004 Titan have been replaced 4 times in the last 2 years, I just had them replaced and the new seals are leaking. This is due to a poorly designed axle by Nissan; of course they will not stand behind their poor design. The bulletin put out by the car manufacture is to replace the axle's being both sides in the rear at a cost of thousands should Nissan do the work. I find this very disturbing as do thousands of other 04, 05, 06 model year Titan owners. The real problem is if gone undetected by some, the rear can lose all of its oil causing the rear to lock up! this could and would kill people if the accident were bad enough. The second issue here is and I quote, “c'mon Nissan, stand behind your product and recall what could be a fatal situation here” unquote”. As much as I like the Titan, this issue has sickened me to the point that I will shop elsewhere when the time comes. Talk about passing the buck! I have seen the axle removed and rust pits form under the seal causing the leak. It is as though the metal used is from china.

39 Wheel problem of the 2005 Nissan Titan

Failure Date: 03/17/2009

My 2005 Nissan Titan's rear wheel seals are leaking and have had to have the seal, bearing and spacer replaced twice. They begin leaking and run down on the rear brakes and cause them to slip. There must be a defect in design here. I know of many other Titan owners are having the same problem.

40 Wheel problem of the 2006 Nissan Titan

Failure Date: 04/24/2008

Nissan Titan pickup truck- 5 spoke wheel spoke cracked. As the vehicle was driven to the dealership, the crack did worsen and caused increased vibration in the steering wheel. The dealership inspected the wheel for impact damage, non was observed. The 18in alloy wheel was replaced by dealership. No other wheel components, spokes had any damage. This is a mechanic breakdown of a tire-wheel component which will cause fatalities.

41 Wheel problem of the 2004 Nissan Titan

Failure Date: 09/01/2005

I have same problem as everyone else with cracked exhaust manifolds starting around 65000 miles. Expensive to replace so I have no choice but to listen to a horrible exhaust leaks. Next is the rear axle seals first around 65000. Replaced 2x. After talking to Nissan tech who is a friend apparently its a very common problem. The axle tubes tend to warp causing a leak all over tires n brakes and eventual failure of gears inrear pumpkin if not caught. Just waiting for it to happen again. Brakes have always been a problem. Every 7000 brakes n rotors r shot and need replacing. Pedal always has a mushy feel when u occasionally need to slam on the break. Goes all the way to the floor even when brakes r good.
