This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Rear end axle seals are leaking. Took to my mechanic because the ABS sensor was on. He advised that the rearend oil was leaking onto the rotor causing the ABS sensor to fail.
Driving on freeway - heard moderate bang from back of truck and then howling began. Dealership diagnosed as rear differential failure and quotes $2000 to replace. Service manager showed me a pile of Titan axles in one service bay awaiting pickup by Nissan. He was amazed that mine lasted as long as it did (104560 miles). Even though this is a well known problem inside the Nissan world, Nissan is not willing to make any concessions or fixing this at a discount.
Rear differential failure. Attempting to cross traffic when rear differential broke internally and had to have vehicle towed from scene (nearly hit by oncoming traffic). This is a known consumer problem, that has been seriously denied by the manufacturer. Several people have complained of having these units replaced several times!! the potential exists to have the rear wheels to become locked up in the event of a failure!!!!!! why has no investigation been opened?? several consumers have gone to aftermarket equipment replacement because of the high failure rate. This problem is happening in 2004-2006 model year vehicles!!!!
As I was leaving my home 8/05/2008 my 2004 Nissan Titan pu came to an complete stop because the rear axle locked up. Dealership stated the rear seals gave out because of corrosion near seal area. The parking brake shoes came apart on both sides and lodged in the wheels causing them to lock up.
1. 2004 Nissan Titan le 4X4, "slip" light illuminated and remains on. Vehicle has 24,300 miles and had prior warranty repair of leaking rear differential cover gasket. 2. the obdii shows no codes. The :slip" light remains on which disables the vehicle anti-slip, vehicle stability control system. 3. inspected undercarriage and found left rear axle seal leaking coating rear brakes and wheel assemblies. Researching manufacturer's history and suggestion for permanent repairs.
Rear differential started to pop and bind while turning under slight throttle. It occurred every time I turned. The dealership replaced the whole rear axle under the power train warranty. I wish it were a real fix and not waiting game until it fails again.
Rear axle seals leaking - diff. Fluid was collecting on rear brake discs. Nissan dealer ship ordered parts (warranty), did not clean oil buildup from brake rotors. They sent me to drive this vehicle for 2+ weeks while waiting for parts.
2004 Nissan Titan 4WD. I have had two axle seal leaks from normal driving and occasional use on a dirt road. First one at 59,000 and the second at 66,000 miles. The first one was taken to the dealer-the second blew so badly that I had to go to a local shop to get it done at my expense.
1 - I noticed oil leaking inside passenger rear wheel. 2 - I called the dealer, and I got the truck in before any road issue occurred. 3 - from the dealers service print out: Cause: F ne15aa rpl both axle shafts/bearings 857 wpn 2 43252-7S200 seal-oil R 2 40210-7S210 bearing-re 2 43070-7S200 spacer axl 1 43082-7S210 cage rear 1 999mp-AH000 service
The axle housing seals were leaking on my 2004 Titan so I brought it to a Nissan dealer to have them replaced. The service member informed me that replacing the seals would not correct the problem. They had already tried on numerous other trucks and the new seals continued to leak. Pence Nissan replaced the entire rear end unit as they did with other trucks with the same problem. The replacement unit was not the same that came on the truck. I asked the service member why and he stated the original unit has been problematic.
Grinding noise from the rear of my 2004 Nissan Titan caused me to have it towed to the dealer. The dealer states that the differential is blown, and that new bearings and seals are needed to fix. The truck has only 71,000 miles, regularly serviced and has never towed a thing.
