2006 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE, LEAKS OIL ONTO REAR BRAKE ROTOR. CAUSING POOR BRAKING. *TR

AXLE SEALS FAILED AT 51,000 THEN AT 53,100 AND 53,300...NISSAN IS REPLACING THE REAR END (WHATEVER PARTS THAT INCLUDES) FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE AT 51, 000 THE WARRANTIED DIFFERENTIAL WOULD NOT WORK WITH THE TRUCK ON THE GROUND BUT WORKED ON THE LIFT...WHAT A POS....AXLE SEALS 7/31,9/4,9/9 WAITING FOR REAR END. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN IS LEAKING AXEL FLUID AT 45,000 MILES. I'M TOLD BY OTHER TITAN OWNERS THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR AXEL. IF NOT, THE TRUCK CAN BECOME UNSTABLE WHILE DRIVING. REPAIR SHOP (WHO DOES NOT DO THIS TYPE OF WORK) STATES THAT THE REAR AXEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

2006 REAR AXLE SEALS MAJOR FAILURE AT 51,000 MILES AND AGAIN LESS THAN 2000 MILES LATER. SAME SEAL. *TR

I HAVE OWNED A 2006 NISSAN TITAN SINCE MARCH 17, 2006 AND HAVE HAD A SEVERE REAR AXLE LEAK TWO TIMES IN LESS THAN 32,000 MILES. THE FIRST LEAK WAS DUE TO A FAULTY LEFT SIDE AXLE SEAL AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE LATEST LEAK, WHICH WAS COMMUNICATING DIFFERENTIAL OIL OVER THE ENTIRE UNDERBELLY OF THE TRUCK INCLUDING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND REAR BRAKE ROTORS WAS DETERMINED TO BE A FAULTY PINION SEAL WHICH WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL BE A RECURRING ISSUE THAT MAY HAVE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE OR UNSAFE VEHICLE OPERATION DUE TO OIL REACHING THE BRAKE ROTORS AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. *TR

I NOTICED OIL LEAKING FROM THE TRANSFER CASE. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO SANTA MONICA NISSAN FOR INSPECTION. DEALERSHIP VERIFIED THE TRANSFER CASE, LEFT AND RIGHT REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING. DEALERSHIP IS REPLACING PARTS TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THIS IS AN ONGOING FAILURE FOR ALL YEAR MODEL NISSAN TITANS. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILED: 1. NOTED OIL ON REAR WHEEL. 2. I AM TOLD THAT MANY FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED. 3. AGENCY REPLACED THE PART AT NO COST; VEHICLE WAS IN SHOP 2 DAYS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN AND BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR DRIVE AXLES LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. I HAD THE FIRST PROBLEM HAPPEN AROUND NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. MY RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE AXLE WAS LEAKING SO I REPLACED THE SEAL, SPACER, AND BEARING ON THAT ONE SIDE ONLY. NOW, MY LEFT SIDE AXLE STARTED TO LEAK AROUND APRIL. I STARTED TO NOTICE WHEN MY REAR BRAKES STARTED SMOKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE PARKED SINCE THEN AND IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE SEAL ON IT. *TR

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES START DURING NORMAL BRAKING. TRUCK MUST BE STOPPED, PUT IN PARK AND THE IGNITION SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED TO CORRECT BRAKING PROBLEM. THIS PROCESS SOMETIMES HAS TO BE REPEATED 2 TIMES BEFORE THE BRAKES PERFORM CORRECTLY. NISSAN WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED AND THE INTERNAL COMPUTER SHOWS NO SIGN OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE. I NOTICED A DRIVER-SIDE REAR SEAL LEAK YESTERDAY (7/29/2009). REAR SEAL IS LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID OVER REAR BRAKES CAUSING HAZARD OF A BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB XE 2X4 WITH APPROXIMATELY 25000 MI. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2/2007 FROM DEALER. VEHICLE HAS NEVER TOWED OR BEEN OFF-ROAD. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE WITH NO ABUSE HAVING A MECHANICAL FAILURE THAT COULD AFFECT A SAFETY FEATURE SUCH AS THE BRAKES. *TR
