“Was driving down the road at 50mph went to slow down and there where no brakes so finally I pulled I've and looked around and oil was dripping out of the axle housing almost a bad situation. Come to find out on the Nissan Titan talk forum there are many many more of these like mine this should defiantly be a recalled item very dangerous.”
NHTSA complaint #10550817, filed 2013-11, 87,000 miles“My rear differential has failed under normal operating conditions, almost causing me to wreck. Apparently, this is not a new issue with these trucks. I was driving 50mph when the rear end made a pop and I lost the ability to drive.”
NHTSA complaint #11257666, filed 2019-09, 185,000 miles“I recently had my valve body replaced in my trans, I was driving to san diego on the 5 southbound and when I was merging on to the freeway from an on ramp and as I applied the gas pedal the truck did not move. I looked under at the drive shaft, while in gear the truck's drive shaft was spinning and making a screeching noise.”
NHTSA complaint #10334248, filed 2010-06, 78,000 miles“I noticed a whining nose from 45 to 70 MPH. It got real loud ad 60-65 MPH. My Titan is regularly serviced with differential fluid changes, and all maintenance. The truck has 112,000 miles on it. I was just told that they need to replace the rear differential on the truck, at a cost of $2448 plus tax on a vehicle that is very well maintained and taken care of. No excuse for it, and ridiculous.”
NHTSA complaint #10435005, filed 2011-11, 112,000 miles“My passenger side rear axle seal is leaking. From what I have read, this is an extremely big problem on Nissan Titan's. The leak is affecting the following parts: - passenger side rear brake components - passenger side rear tire (sidewall) - entire rear axle assembly.”
