Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Rear end axle seals are leaking, after looking into this and several hours I found I could be caused from the axle vent not working properly, this causes the rear seals to be pushed out and fluid to leak onto the brakes, seems to be a huge problem and safety concern, I was pulling a small trailer at the time and nearly avoided a car that pulled out in front of me.”
NHTSA complaint #10700631, filed 2015-03, 110,500 miles“I was rotating my tires and noticed gear oil on the inside of my rear wheels. The gear oil has seeped out of a failed oil seal and covered my brake pads and rotor. This oil could cause decreased braking ability and increase the likelihood of a failed brake related accident.”
NHTSA complaint #10371207, filed 2010-12, 87,000 miles“I purchased the truck in oct 2006. The truck has been back to the dealer four times in less than a year and is going for the fifth time 11/23/07 with brake problems. I was just told by my dealer that there is no fix for the problem I will just have to live with the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10209646, filed 2007-11, 7,381 miles“During the last two months I have total brake failure on my 2006 Titan le. When I checked with the local dealer, he inform that they have other trucks with the same problem. Before long, this situation is going to kill somebody.”
NHTSA complaint #10291981, filed 2009-11, 26,459 miles“Brakes - replaced 3 times within 16000 miles. Would have been more or sooner if I had known how to identify the problem earlier. There are no specific events that lead to the these warranty replacements. I was reassured that my normal driving did not contribute to the problems. Rear axle replacement - 15800 miles. This was also not due to my normal driving, as reassured by the Nissan service station. I was literally shaken off the road. …”
