MY TRUCK SOUNDED SLIGHTLY LOUDER THAN NORMAL ON MY SHORT DRIVE HOME. I WAS DRIVING ON A 35MPH ROAD AND SOMETHING DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT. IT SOUNDED LIKE MY TIRES WERE OUT OF ALIGNMENT. I DROVE THE HALF MILE HOME ON THE 35MPH ROAD IN 2WD. I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AND LOOKED AT MY TIRES AND UNDER MY TRUCK. EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL. THE NEXT MORNING I NOTICED SOME OIL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I SAW IT WAS COMING FROM MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AXLE SEAL. MY AXLE WAS PULLED LOOSE FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL BECAUSE SOME WEAK CLIP THAT HELD THE ASSEMBLY TOGETHER HAS BROKEN. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO GET AN ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A ONE OF A KIND PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME IT WOULD BE SEVERAL DAYS TO GET PARTS AND REPAIR THE DAMAGE. THEY ESTIMATED THE COST WOULD BE BETWEEN $350-$600 TO REPLACE THE FRONT RIGHT AXLE, AXLE SEAL, AND CLIP. ADDITIONAL COST AND PARTS WOULD BE NECESSARY IF ANY FURTHER DAMAGE WAS FOUND IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE LEAKING ON TO REAR BRAKE, IN 2005 AND NEWER NISSAN PUT A DIFFERENT REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL COVER ON TO COOL THE AXLE FLUID. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE THE DATE IT WAS PURCHASED. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND THE BRAKING POWER WAS LOST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ROTORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM (ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS) HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES SINCE THE ORIGINAL FAILURE DATE. WHEN ADULTS USE THE REAR SEAT SAFETY BELTS, THEY BECOME TIGHTER AS THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED. THE SEAT BELTS CAUSE A GREAT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO THE NECK AND CHEST AREA AND HAVE TO BE RELEASED AND RECONNECTED FOR SAFETY. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

I BOUGHT A NISSAN TITAN NEW IN MAY OF 2004. PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES WERE IMMEDIATE. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE BRAKES, ROTORS, ETC. A COUPLE OF TIMES DUE TO DEFECTS. THEY NOW SAY THAT THE BRAKES ARE OUT OF WARRANTY SO I AM DOING IT ON MY OWN AND OFTEN. THIS PAST WEEKEND I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. I WENT AND BOUGHT ANOTHER SET OF BRAKES AND ROTORS. WHILE CHANGING THEM, NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES CALIPERS WERE CRACKED AND RUSTED. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER, WAITING ON A DECISION FROM THEM TO SEE IF THEY WILL FIX THEM. TRUCK IS UNDER WARRANTY, AND EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED FROM NISSAN. THESE WERE SUPPOSE TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER BEFORE, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY DID. I AM PAYING A TRUCK PAYMENT EVERY MONTH FOR A TRUCK THAT BASICALLY SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. WE NEVER KNOW IF THE BRAKES WILL WORK. NISSAN DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ADMITTED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM DESIGN. I FEAR THAT SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED IF NISSAN DOESN'T STEP UP AND PUT AN END TO THE BRAKE ISSUE. *TR
