2006 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

PASSENGER SIDE REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK OBSERVED ON 2/3/2008. FLUID LEAK COVERED BOTTOM PORTION OF BRAKE ROTOR. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND AXLE SEAL WAS REPLACED UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE AS DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ON BRAKES COULD IMPACT BRAKE FUNCTION AND LEAD TO FAILURE. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT EXPLAINED THAT SEVERAL OF THESE SEALS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE (BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES), BUT THEY HAVE LITTLE EXPLANATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

PASSENGER REAR AXLE SEAL FAILED AT 37,000 MILES. NISSAN IS REPALCEING UNDER WARRANTY, WITH THE SAME PART THAT WILL PROBABLY NOT LAST LONG EITHER...*CN

I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN OCT 2006. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR AND IS GOING FOR THE FIFTH TIME 11/23/07 WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS. I WAS JUST TOLD BY MY DEALER THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM I WILL JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM. *TR

REAR SEAL FAILURE ON A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE SEAL CAUSES LEAKS ON THE REAR END. *TR

RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 24,000 MILES NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL. AS THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WE WILL NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN SE CREW CAB 4X4. I WAS LOOKING AT MY NEW TIRES WHEN I NOTICED FLUID LEAKING AT THE END OF THE AXLE WHERE IT JOINS WITH THE WHEEL. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO FAILURE. I TOOK IT 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD TO CENTRAL VALLEY NISSAN UPON NOTICING THIS PROBLEM (I WAS DOWN THERE WITHIN 30 MINUTES). THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ON TITANS BEFORE. HE SAID IT IS A REAR AXLE SEAL THAT HAS FAILED. I WAS TOLD THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE THE AXLE WARPS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS FIXED THE NEXT DAY (I AM GOING DOWN FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING). I AM HOPEFUL THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN WITH MY VEHICLE. BASED ON INTERNET SEARCHES, THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD. SINCERELY, MICHAEL JAMES *TR

NOTICED GEAR OIL ON RIGHT REAR AXLE DUST COVER AND BRAKE COMPONENTS. RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING. FIRST NOTICED THE LEAKING SEAL AT 25,600 MILES.
