Upon accelerating, the truck felt like it went into neutral. It now jerks after coasting when adding power, and clicks/thumps very loudly while turning in both directions from the rear, more so when there is power while turning.
2004 Nissan Titan 4WD. At 54,000 miles the rear differential gears blew apart while I was driving. This destroyed the rear differential and caused $3000 worth of repairs. The rear axle seals on both sides were leaking at the time the gears failed. Apparently, this was becoming a common problem/defect with most Nissan Titan, though so far Nissan seems to be ignoring the problem. Although the rear end gear failure did not cause an accident I was told by a mechanic that if the gears failed and lock at highway speeds they could cause the rear wheels to lock which could cause an accident.

While driving started hearing a roaring sound from the rear of the truck. Parked within 2 miles of hearing it and found fluid leaking out of the rear differential at the point where the drive shaft connects. There was also a very strong odor of burning differential oil. Towed truck to the dealer who said that they would be replacing the entire rear end.
