“My entire rear axle had to be replaced at 31,500 miles on my Nissan Titan. It started howling and smoking when driving to moab. The dealer replaced the entire rear axle. Thankfully I was not at highway speeds when the rear end failed. In addition, the vehicle has had 4 sets of brakes/rotors/calipers on the vehicle and is starting to exhibit signs of needing the fix again.”

“The stereo fm stations continuously fade into mono type sound and weak radio reception particularly after engaging bumps in road or making a turn. The sound tends to correct itself temporarily when on smooth road surface or stopped. Dealer blamed the issue on local weak fm broadcast of radio stations. Also stated, nothing can be done and wait for recall.”
