“My 2004 titan le (tow package) had 32000 (+or-) miles when I heard a loud whining noise from the rear end. The dealership examined the truck and advised they had to replace the entire rear end. Now 3500 miles later (total mileage 37000) it has gone out again. Tonight, it's in the shop. Will it go out again? After reading this site, my guess would be an intelligent, yes!”

Now the rear differential is going out and the truck is only 2 1/2 years old. I took it to the dealer only to be told it would cost over 3000.00 dollars to repair. …”

NHTSA complaint #10138605, filed 2005-10, 19,900 miles“I own a '04 Nissan titan that I purchased new in dec. '04. A rear end hum alerted me (after further inspection) to a leaky passenger side axle seal. After further inspection, the left axle seal was leaking as well. The truck has 93,500 miles on it and the passenger side leak is so bad, that the entire rear wheel hub and portions of the rear brake system are covered in rear end fluid. I was fortunate to have located the problem before more extensive damage or an accident occurred.”

We have had to change the brakes more than six times. The back brakes are constantly going out.

I then took the car to aaa for a motor vehicle diagnostic inspection. …”
