2006 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

HAD BEEN HEARING A 'CLANK' WHEN PUTTING VEHICLE INTO GEAR, SIMILAR TO WHEN A U-JOINT IS FAILING. WHILE TOWING MY BOAT TRAILER (BOAT WAS IN THE WATER), HAD THE VEHICLE IN 4WD, AND TURNED HARD LEFT TO EXIT THE PARKING SPOT. HEARD A LOUD SNAP IN THE REAR END, THEN HEARD ANOTHER ONE. USED TRUCK TO PULL THE BOAT OUT, BUT THEN DISCONNECTED THE TRAILER AND HAD MY FRIEND TOW THE BOAT HOME. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP NEXT MORNING, AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY UNDER WARRANTY (THANK GOD!). *TR

I WAS CHANGING REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL FOUND LEAKING FORM THE DRIVER SIDE AXLE SEAL AND PINION GEAR SHAFT FRONT SEAL. IF AXLE SEAL LEAK GETS WORSE IT MIGHT GET ON TO THE ABS SENSOR AND BRAKE DISK AND EMERGENCY BRAKE (LITTLE DRUM DISK) AND CAUSE SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. ALSO IF I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS AND KEPT DRIVING THIS AXLE ONLY HOLD ABOUT 2 QUARTS OF GEAR OIL, ALL OIL CAN LEAK OUT AND CAUSE DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE PROBLEM SUDDENLY AND IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ALSO. LEAKING OIL IS ALSO A ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDED. SO MANY PEOPLE SEEMS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, BY RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET. *JB
