2006 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN WITH 69K MILES ON IT. THE REAR AXEL SEALS ARE LEAKING FLUID WHICH COULD CAUSE THE REAR END TO LOCK UP DURING COMMUTE AND CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. IT IS LEAKING ONTO THE BRAKES ALSO. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN,,,AXLE SEAL FAILURE...4TH ONE, LEAKING OIL ALL OVER THE BRAKES. *TR

ON SATURDAY AUG. 7 I NOTICED A PUDDLE OF WHAT APPEARED TO BE OIL AT THE RIGHT REAR OF MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN.THE ENTIRE WHEEL WAS COVERED IN OIL,AFTER INSPECTING, I FOUND I HAD A LEAK FROM THE SEAL ON THE AXLE. WHILE TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW AND WHY, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN . WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL. THIS COULD BE AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR TO ANY OWNER. NISSAN NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

06 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 SE W/ OFF ROAD PACKAGE. THE LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL FAILED AT 65,000 MILES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LEFT SEAL AND AXEL. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4, REAR AXLE SEALS FAILING CAUSING OIL TO LEAK ON REAR DISK BRAKES. SEEMS TO BE PRETTY COMMON ON TITANS. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED MY REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING FOR A WHILE AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE. I HAVE NOW RECENTLY NOTICED WHEN I USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE AND REAR BRAKES THEY HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE LEAKING FLUID. I WAS WONDERING IF THIS IS AN ISSUE THEY SHOULD ADDRESS, OR IS IT JUST REGULAR MAINTENANCE. I HAVE BEEN READING FORUM COMPLAINTS ABOUT PEOPLE WITH THE SAME TRUCK AND THEY HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM LOW IN MILE. MY TRUCK IS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN SE CREW CAB 4WD. I HAVE NOTICED THE SEALS LEAKING SINCE ABOUT 40K MILES AND NOW HAVE AROUND 56K. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 CREW CAB SINCE DEC 2006 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHILE BRAKING. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER IN 2008 MILES 10, 850 THEY TURNED THE ROTORS AND APPLIED GREASE. TOOK TRUCK BACK TO DEALER ON JULY 9TH 2010 AND THEY AGAIN SAID ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 27,980 MILES. THE SERVICE MAN SAID THE ROTORS WERE NO LONGER COVERED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HAVE ROTORS TURNED. I WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE GOOD FOR 30,000 MILES. I THINK IT'S STRANGE THAT THE ROTORS NEED TO BE TURNED EVERY 10,000 TO 15,000 MILES. SERVICE MAN ACTED LIKE THIS WAS A COMMAND THING AND THAT IT WAS THE DRIVERS FAULT NOT THE COMPANY'S. I ASKED ABOUT RECALLS AT THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT ME I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE DEALER SINCE. NISSAN NEEDS TO SEE THIS AS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND MAKE A RECALL. *TR

I PLACED MY TRUCK ON A LIFT TO INSPECT THE UNDERBODY AND CHANGE MY OIL. DURING THE PROCESS, I SAW LIQUID STREAKS DOWN THE INSIDE OF MY LEFT REAR WHEEL HUB AND ROTOR. I HAD DETERMINED THE REAR AXLE SEAL WAS THE LEAKING CULPRIT, ENABLING AXLE FLUID TO DRAIN ONTO THE WHEEL HUB AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY. ALTHOUGH BRAKE PERFORMANCE WAS NOTICEABLY DEGRADED, THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BECOME FAR WORSE. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SEAL ASSEMBLY, BUT I AM NOT CONFIDENT THIS WILL CORRECT THE ISSUE. NUMEROUS INCIDENTS SIMILAR TO THIS NATURE HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON NISSAN TITAN AUTO CLUBS, SUCH AS WWW.TITANTALK.COM/FORUMS. THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY HAD A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (WITH A THIRD REVISION DATE OVER 3 YEARS BEING OUT IN SERVICE) - THIS TELLS ME THAT NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AXLE, BUT WILL NOT RECALL THE VEHICLES AND FIX THEM PROPERLY. *TR
