2006 NISSAN TITAN Power Train Problems

So back in October 2023 ,I noticed a lot of things go wrong at once lime the radiator had to be replaced because it was leaking everywhere. The steering went bad and started leaking. The rear main seal started leaking. The clock spring went bad. there isntons of water always in the passenger floorboard and passenger door. The fuel gauge is all over the place and never reads right. The oil pressure gauge always has been on high. The engine light, air bag light slip light, and abs light have always been on. The right rear window stopped going up and the controls on the drivers door sometimes work and sometimes don't. The Manuel shifter has never worked and I cannot put the transmission in 2,3, or 4th gear from a stand still. Always been weird knocking sound in the suspension

The contact's son owns a 2006 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while his son was driving approximately 35-45 MPH, the vehicle stalled inadvertently. The contact was unsure whether there were any warning lights illuminated. The contact's son was able to restart the vehicle and continued to drive; however, the failure reoccurred several times while driving. The vehicle was taken to Pep Boys and diagnosed the failure as a vehicle dynamic control switch, acceleration, and power train systems failure. The vehicle was not repaired. Additionally, the contact stated that the instrument cluster had failed. The dealer was not notified of the failures. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in any recalls. The failure mileage was approximately 153,000.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSFER CASE 2 TIMES, MY FRONT DRIVE SIDE HUB ASSEMBLY 2 TIMES IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS. I HAVE REPLACE FRONT AXLE AND AND REAR. NOW MY PASSENGER SIDE LEAKS OUT FROM UNDER THE GLOVE BOX EVERY TIME IT RAINS INTO MY FLOOR KEEPING IT WET. JUST YESTERDAY MY TRANSMISSION WENT ITNO LIMP MODE AND I KNOW IT CAN BE A NUMBER OF THINGS . I LOOK AT THE 04 THRU 07 TITANS AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES LIKE HAVE BUT HAVEN'T LISTED THEM ALL, BUT THE ISSUES IAM HAVING ARE NOT ON RECALL LIST FOR MY 2006, BUT ARE FOR THE OTHER YEARS??? THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP DROPPING $ INTO IT. BACK DRIVER WINDOW MOTOR STOPPED AND WINDOW FELL AND BROKE, MANIFOLD TICKING IS A RECALL FOR THE 2005, BUT NOT MY 2006. I COULD KEEP GOING BUT I AM GETTING SO FRUSTRATED. I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 45 MHP WHEN IT JUST WENT INTO LIMP MODE, SO I PULLED OVER TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON THEN IT WOULD WORK FOR ABOUT 3 MIN. STOP DO IT AGAIN TO GET HOME. IT WILL GO INTO GEAR, AND THE RPM'S REV AND GO UP ,BUT I AM NOT GETTING VERY FAR AT ALL. MY TRANS FLUID IS GOOD. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. ALL FUSES ARE GOOD AND CODES RESET AND IT STILL GOES LIMP MODE.

REAR END LOCKED UP AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. OVER THE YEARS, THE REAR SEALS WOULD CONSTANTLY LEAK AND WERE REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS USUALLY BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION DURING OIL CHANGES/INSPECTIONS. I GUESS THEY DIDNT CATCH IT LEAKING AND CAUSED MY REAR END TO LOCK UP WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I WAS HEADING TO WORK AROUND 4-5 AM IN THE MORNING AND ALL MY LIGHTS ON MY TRUCK CAME ON KIND OF FELT LIKE I BLEW A TIRE AND STARTED PULLING VERY HARD. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD RATHER QUICKLY AND HAD IT TOWED. I KNOW PLENTY OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUES WITH THE EARLY MODEL NISSAN TITANS. BESIDES THAT THOUGH I HAVE BEEN PLEASED WITH MY TITAN. I HAVE OVER 500K MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. FYI THIS HAPPENED YEARS BACK BUT I WAS READING A FORUM THAT WE SHOULD TRY TO GET THIS RECALLED AND IT DID COST ME ALOT TO HAVE THE REAR END FIXED.

TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN STUCK IN 4TH GEAR WHILE IN DRIVE. IT. WILL SWITCH INTO PARK, REVERSE AND NEUTRAL. WHEN THE TRUCK IS PUT ON THE COMPUTER THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES SHOWING THAT WOULD REQUIRE REPAIR THEREFORE NISSAN REFUSES TO SUBMIT ANY DOCUMENTATION HIGHER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THIS STANDARD TRANSMISSION IN ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES. ON A SIDE NOTE, I'VE HAD 2 OTHER NISSANS WITH A CENTRAL VARIABLE TRANSMISSION THAT HAVE ALL DONE THIS AS WELL. I'VE SINCE BEEN ABLE TO GET RID OF THOSE VEHICLES, BUT I AM STUCK WITH THIS ONE.

I BOUGHT THIS TITAN AT TRI-STATE NISSAN IN WINCHESTER, VA. MY BRAKE ROTOR WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED DUE TO BAD METAL USED - I HAD TO REPLACE THEM AT 30,000 MILES. MY LEFT REAR WHEEL SEAL WAS DEFECTIVE AND STARTED STARTED LEAKING FLUID AT 70,000. HAD TO REPLACE EVEN THOUGH I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY. CATALYTIC MANIFOLDS WENT BAD AND THEY KNEW IT WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY - BUT THEY DIDN'T REPLACE THEM. PAINT PROBLEM WHEN THE TRUCK IS COLD - BIG GIANT SPOTS IN THE CLEAR COAT. THE MANIFOLDS MANIFOLDS NEED TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE THE EXHAUST IS ENTERING THE VEHICLE.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS LEAKING GEAR OIL OUT OF BOTH ENDS OF MY RWD TRUCK. CONTACTED NISSAN DEALER AND THEY REFERRED ME TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. FILED A CLAIM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY SO THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN TITAN TRUCKS, PARTICULARLY BETWEEN MODELS YEARS 2004-2006. I HAVE NEVER TOWED WITH THIS TRUCK AND HAVE CHANGED THE GEAR OIL FREQUENTLY. ALSO, I HAVE REPLACED THE BREATHER PERIODICALLY AS WELL. NOW THE FLUID IS FLOWING OUT WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.

I DROVE MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN LE TO MCDONALD'S ON ELK STREET WHICH IS LIKE 5 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE WHEN YOU GOT FOOD CAME BACK TO MY HOUSE WHICH IS 1700 SWANSON DRIVE SPACE 43 WHEN INSIDE CAME BACK OUT RADIATOR BLEW OUT THE BOTTOM REPLACED RADIATOR AND THEN TRANSMISSION STARTED GOING OUT ELECTRICAL UNITS RELAYS GOING OUT REPLACED BUT STILL TRUCK IS ACTING UP REALLY BAD I HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR TRANSMISSION BRACKET TONS AND TONS OF FLUIDS A BUNCH OF ELECTRICAL FUSES REALLY TIRED OF WORKING ON MY TRUCK TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM WHEN IT ALL OCCURRED AT ONE TIME I HAVE THIS TRUCKS FINANCED I STILL OWE $17,000 ON IT AND IT BARELY RUNS I WOULD LIKE TO PROCEED ON MAYBE FIGURING OUT A WAY TO HELP ME GET A NEW TRANSMISSION OR GETTING A DIFFERENT VEHICLE.

AFTER MANY, MANY HOURS OF RESEARCH ONLINE TO FIND A RECALL ON THE NOTORIOUS REAR END AXLE PROBLEM WITH THE 2004, 2005, AND SOME 2006 NISSAN TITAN'S THERE IS LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING AND NISSAN HAS YET TO PUT A RECALL OUT DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THEIR REAR ENDS IN THESE PICK-UPS. THE PROBLEM IS THE REAR AXLE SEALS GOING BAD. THE PROBLEM STARTS AT THE TOP OF THE REAR END WITH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. THE VENTILATION SYSTEM ALLOWS MOISTURE AND WATER TO ENTER THE REAR END ASSEMBLY WHICH CAUSES THE AXLE SEALS TO LEAK WHICH THEN IN TURNS GEAR OIL LEAKING ALL OVER THE REAR BRAKES, WHICH IN TURN LEAKS ON TO THE HIGHWAY. THE FIRST SET OF SEALS COST ME ALMOST $1,200 I AM ON MY 3RD SET OF SEALS, AND THEY ARE LEAKING AGAIN. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR 3 YEARS AND THE VEHICLE HAS 136,XXX ON IT. THE FIRST SET OF SEALS WENT AT UNDER 20,000 MILES. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM DUE TO THE FACT OF THE REAR END GEAR OIL LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKES AND OUR HIGHWAYS. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT A RECALL ON THESE REAR ENDS OF THESE VEHICLES, BEFORE SOMEONE'S LIFE IS TAKEN UNEXPECTEDLY.

ON 05/22/2015, TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT OR NEAR POSTED SPEED IN MILD SUNNY WEATHER. THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF IN LANE OF TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO HESITATION, NOISE, ALARM, WARNING LIGHTS JUST SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. PULLED VEHICLE OVER TO RH SHOULDER AND TRIED TO RESTART IT WITH OUT SUCCESS.ON 05/18/2015, I HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED AND INSPECTED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS ROAD TRIP. THE TRUCK PASSED DEALER INSPECTION. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER SERVICE CENTER AND AFTER SEVERAL DAYS THE DEALER TOLD ME THE ECM HAD FAILED AND SHORTED OUT THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE REPAIR BILL WAS A LITTLE OVER $1400. I AM NOT OBJECTING TO THE COST OF REPAIR....I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRUCK JUST STOPPING ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING. IF THIS BREAKDOWN WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OR DRIVING LANES OF A NEARBY FREEWAY, OR ON A STEEP INCLINE WITH TURNS THE RESULTS MAY HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE SHORT AND FAILURE OF THE ECM WERE A RESULT OF A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM (SAME ONE THAT PASSED INSPECTION) AND HEAT SHORTED THE WIRING HARNESS. I FEEL THE WIRING HARNESS MAY BE TOO CLOSE TO THE HEAT OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND COULD HAVE BEEN ISOLATED AS NOT TO CAUSE FAILURE. UPDATED 8/31/15*CN UPDATED 10/23/2017*CN

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH TRANSMISSION DROPS OUT OF GEAR AND TRUCK ENGINE NEARLY RED LINES. WAS UNABLE TO GET COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD. AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW MINUTES WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE TRUCK A FEW FEET TO GET COMPLETELY OUT OF TRAFFIC. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT I HAD AN INTERMIX OF COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THEY SEE AND THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 80,000 MILES BUT I AM NOT COVERED. THEY QUOTED ME $8700 TO REPAIR. SPOKE TO A FEW TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND THEY ALL INDICATED THAT THEY ENCOURAGE THEIR NISSAN CLIENTS TO BYPASS THE INTERNAL TRANNY COOLER IN THE RADIATOR WITH AN EXTERNAL ON WHEN THEY REACH 80,000 MILES. THEY SAID THE COST TO DO THIS IS LESS THAN $300.00. NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS AND EVEN LOST A CLASS ACTION SUIT BUT HAS NEVER INFORMED ANYONE. FOR A $300 FIX I AM NOW OUT A TRUCK AND OR $9000.00!!!!

TRAVELING 20 TO 25 MPH, UP A HILL, IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD "BANG". THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED TO THE RIGHT, STRIKING A TREE. NEVER WOULD YOU EXPECT A VEHICLE TO BRAKE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO THROW YOU INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I BELIEVE THAT THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL ISSUED. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND TRANSFER CASE HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE FRONT AXLE HAD BACKED OUT RESULTING IN FLUID LEAKING OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT HAD BEEN REDESIGNED. *TR

SITTING OVERNIGHT WITH TEMPERATURE IN THE 40'S, WHEN PUTTING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE,IT WOULD KEEP DROPPING OUT OF GEAR. THE TRUCK DROVE FINE WHEN MANUALLY SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS. PROBLEM CONTINUED FOR MOST OF A YEAR BUT DID NOT GENERATE AN ERROR CODE. FINALLY DEVELOPED AN ERROR CODE INDICATING PROBLEM IN FIRST GEAR OF THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY WITH TCM. THIS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF VALVE BODY INTERNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH HAD BEEN CONTAMINATED BY AN UNDETECTABLE RADIATOR TO TRANS COOLER LEAK ALSO REQUIRING THE RADIATOR TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM, FOR WHICH NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING, OTHER THAN PUTTING A SPECIAL COATING ON BOLTS INTERNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION TO DETECT THE PRESENCE OF COOLANT. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. IT COULD BE EASILY PREVENT BY THE INSTALLATION OF A SEPARATE TRANSMISSION COOLER. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN TITAN WITH 47000 MILES. PARTIAL VIN "1N6BA07A0" WHILE TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL MIDAS SHOP FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE MECHANIC POINTED OUT A LEAK ON LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL. THEY QUOTED ME WITH $350.00 TO REPLACE THE SEAL. HOWEVER THEY ALSO SUGGESTED TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPT TO REPLACE UNDER A RECALL/ WARRANTY... THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED $1900.00 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR AXLE UNDER THE GUIDANCE FROM THEIR TECHNICIANS AND IT BEING OVER THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY AND/OR NO RECALL. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A RIPOFF. HERE IS A QUOTE I FOUND ON THE CLUB TITAN FORUM SITE. HTTP://WWW.CLUBTITAN.ORG/FORUMS/ARCHIVE/INDEX.PHP/T-32631.HTML "LEFT 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 8000 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. NISSAN REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200).

FIRST OF ALL ,I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT MY TRUCK HAS HIGH MILES.I PURCHASED IT NEW, DEALER SERVICED ONLY.IN FACT MY TRUCK WAS SERVICED BY A DEALER IN MIAMI ON 3-28-13 FOR OIL CHANGE ,THE DAY BEFORE I LOST MY TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF ,WHAT I NOW KNOW TO BE COMMON PLACE, A $5 COOLING TUBING THAT GOES TO THE TRANSMISSION. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS MAYBE THE TECH AT THE DEALER BROKE THE TUBING SINCE ITS INCHES AWAY FROM THE OIL FILTER AND MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED THERE HOURS BEFORE I LOST ALL MY FLUID,THEREFORE BURNING UP MY TRANSMISSION, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE DEALERS WOULD CHECK THE TUBING SINCE ITS RIGHT IN THE TECH'S FACE WHILE CONDUCTING OIL CHANGES. OH WELL ,MY TRUCK WAS WELL MAINTAINED,STILL LOOKS GREAT,TOTALLY LOADED LE, MY TRANNY WENT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING,THIS WILL COST ME AROUND $6000.I`M A NISSAN MAN,I JUST PURCHASED THE NEW 2013 PATHFINDER FOR MY WIFE BACK IN DECEMBER BEFORE IT EVEN APPEARED ON THE STREETS, SHOULD I HAVE FEARS ABOUT DEFECTS WITH THIS ONE ?

AFTER CHECKING THE WEB I REALIZED IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY (80000 ON EXHAUST EMISSIONS) MY TRUCK ONLY HAD 65K. THEY REPLACED BOTH MANIFOLDS AS THEY WERE BOTH CRACKED. THIS REPAIR WOULD HAVE COST ME 2500.00! AFTER SEEING THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TITAN TRUCKS, I THINK THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. ALSO THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I HAD A FRONT DIFFERENTIAL LEAK WHICH WAS THE PINION SEAL, THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME 300-500.00. OF COURSE ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY THIS. AFTER SEEING THIS IS ALSO A COMMON PROBLEM, I FEEL NISSAN NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM FOR BOTH ME AND FELLOW MOTORIST. MY TRUCK HAS 65,000 MILES AND IS BABIED!

THE TECH (WHO TOLD ME HE HAD 20 YRS WITH NISSAN) SAID THAT WHEN THEY USED TO JUST REPLACE THE SEALS PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK 6 MONTHS LATER BECAUSE THE SEALS WOULD BLOW AGAIN. ALL OF THE POSTS ONLINE SAY THAT IT IS A RESULT OF AN IMPROPER VENTING SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE RELEASE OF NEGATIVE PRESSURE.

NEARLY EVERY TITAN EXPERIENCES THIS SEAL FAILURE AT SOME POINT. SOME WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, (WHICH TYPICALLY GET REPAIRED BY NISSAN) BUT AS FOR THE REST OF US WHO ARE BEYOND OUR WARRANTIES, WE ARE LEFT WITH THIS HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND A BIG REPAIR BILL. **THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, OR AT LEAST REPAIRED BY NISSAN AT THEIR EXPENSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CRACKED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH AND CAUSED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID TO LEAK FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOR THE SAME FAILURE BUT TO NO AVAIL.

MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAS AN AXEL SEAL FAILURE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR, DIFFERENTIAL FLUID IS LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKES CAUSING REDUCED BRAKING AND ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR AXLE/DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. NISSAN REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS DESIGN FLAW. THEY HAVE A RE-ENGINEERED REPLACEMENT AXLE SHAFT AND SEAL AT A COST OF ABOUT $800 PER SIDE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL NOT $1600 OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX.

I JUST WENT INTO THE DEALERSHIP LAST THURSDAY THE 27TH OF SEPTEMBER TO HAVE A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE PERFORMED. AS PART OF THE INSPECTION THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT MY REAR AXLE SEALS ON MY TRUCK WERE SEEPING/LEAKING AGAIN. THE DEALER HAD REPLACED THE REAR AXLES AND SEALS UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AT 46520 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE TRUCK NOW HAS A LITTLE OVER 54K MILES AND THEY ARE GOING OUT AGAIN. SO ESSENTIALLY 14 MONTHS AFTER THE DEALER REPLACED EVERYTHING IT IS OUT AGAIN. I AM GOING TO CONTACT NISSAN DIRECTLY AGAIN TO GET THIS REPAIRED EVEN THOUGH I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BY LESS THAN A MONTH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR BOTH MY FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AS THESE SEALS CAN LEAK OIL ONTO THE BRAKES AND COULD CAUSE A REAR END FAILURE AT DRIVING SPEED WHICH COULD ENDANGER LIVES. THIS TRUCK HAS LOW MILES FOR A 2006 AND TOWS A LIGHT TRAILER WITH ATVS A FEW TIMES A YEAR. ALL MANUFACTURE MAINTENANCE IS PERFORMED ON TIME BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. I WAS ON VACATION WITH MY WIFE AND GRANDDAUGHTER THIS PAST WEEK WHEN I NOTICED THE BRAKING ON MY TRUCK FELT WRONG. IT TOOK MUCH FURTHER TO STOP THAN IT SHOULD. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I PULLED OVER TO A REST AREA AND NOTICED A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I CHECKED THE FLUIDS AND EVERYTHING LOOKED OK. I WENT TO A GARAGE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME WHERE THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID INTO THE BRAKE DRUMS ON BOTH REAR WHEELS AND SPINNING FLUID INTO THE WHEELS. THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO GET IT OVER TO THE NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH TITANS. THEY CONSIDER IT SAFE. BUT THEY TELL ME I NEED TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY. THE REAR BRAKES HAVE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING INTO THEM. WHICH MEANS I MAY EVEN HAVE TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING DAMAGED! THEY ALSO TOLD ME THE REAR AXLE COULD LOCK UP CAUSING MORE DANGER AND DAMAGE. THEY ADMIT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE BUT THEY WILL NOT LET THE OWNERS KNOW IN WRITING. THAT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY WOULD RATHER THE OWNER ENCURE THE HUGE EXPENSE OF REPAIRING THIS ISSUE AFTER THEIR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER THIS A RECALL. I WILL HAVE TO SPEND $3000 TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE. I AM FURIOUS AND DISAPOINTED THAT NISSAN WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE I SEE HUNDREDS OF POST.WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED? IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN FIVE YEARS YET SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I AM ONLY AT 85,000 MILES. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEIR PATHETIC RESPONSE AND REFUSAL TO FIX THIS ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE.THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE NISSAN!

I HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED WITH A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR 300 DOLLARS. AFTER FIXING MY TITAN, I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2004-2008 NISSAN TITANS. I FOUND THAT EVEN AFTER YOU REPLACE THE REAR AXLE SEAL, THE PROBLEM OCCURS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. NISSAN SHOULD MAN UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PROBLEM.

I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT AND HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH IT UP UNTIL NOW. LONG STORY SHORT; I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLOSE TO WHERE I LIVE (STANLEY NISSAN) TO GET A RECALL DONE ON IT AS WELL AS HAVE IT LOOKED AT FOR MY ABS AND SLIP LIGHTS BEING ON CONSTANTLY AS WELL AS MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WHICH WAS ON BEFORE. A FEW DAYS BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT MY TRUCK STARTED DRIVING WEIRD AND DISENGAGING ITSELF OUT OF 4WD AND I WOULD LOSE CONTROL AT TIMES OR MY TRUCK WOULD STOP GOING FORWARD AND WOULD START TRYING TO GO SIDEWAYS, BUT THE RPM'S STILL WENT UP, BUT TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCEL FORWARD. IT ALSO STARTED MAKING A BANGING NOISE IN THE REAR, ALWAYS SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE. DROPPED IT OFF AT DEALERSHIP AND HEARD FROM THEM THE FOLLOWING DAY. SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT MY REAR BRAKE SHOES HAD BROKE AND SPUN AROUND IN THE BRAKE HOUSING AND DAMAGED MY BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, ROTORS AND THEN MADE IT INTO MY REAR AXLE HOUSING AND DAMAGED MY ENTIRE REAR HOUSING AND DIFFERENTIAL. I AM A MECHANIC MYSELF AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT PIECES FROM THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT INSIDE AN ENCLOSED REAR HOUSING ASSEMBLY. THEY TOLD ME I NEED MY ENTIRE REAR AXLE AND DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED ALONG WITH OTHER PIECES FOR THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY AND REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT ALL OF THIS WAS CAUSE BY BRAKE SHOES AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHICH I NEVER USE. THEY ARE QUOTING ME $4,200 FOR THE REPAIRS AND WON'T COVER ME UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I AM STILL UNDER 60,000 MILES AND I CAN'T BE COVERED BY MY PLATINUM PACKAGE EXTENDED WARRANTY AS WELL WHICH COVERS ME UP TO 100,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN ON NUMEROUS SITES WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THE FACT THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO WORK US ALL OVER AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP HONOR THE WARRANTY.

THE PROBLEM IS MINE HAVE PROBABLY BEEN LEAKING SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT IS NOW TOO LATE BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND YOU CAN'T TELL THAT THEY ARE LEAKING UNTIL IT HAS BEEN LEAKING LONG ENOUGH TO GET GEAR OIL TO A VISIBLE SPOT. I HAVEN'T HAD IT FIXED YET AS I AM WEIGHING OUT THE BEST OPTION FOR ME AS FAR AS REPLACING THE SEALS OR THE WHOLE AXLE ASSEMBLY.

I TOOK THE TRUCK TO NISSAN AND THEY CHECKED IT, BUT THEY STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY THEN PERFORMED THE 30000 MILE MAINTENANCE FOR APPROX $600. THE NISSAN SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT I MUST HAVE PUSHED THE GAS AND THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME TO CAUSE THE ACCIDENT.

I ENDED UP GETTING RID OF THE TRUCK BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID IF THE TRUCK SPED FORWARD ON ITS OWN AGAIN AND I COULD NOT STOP IT I MIGHT GET HURT OR KILLED.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN AND JUST BEFORE 60,000 MILES THE REAR END FAILED. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 65MPH. THE REAR STARTED TO MAKE NOISE SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO TAKE A LOOK. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK THERE WAS DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ALL OVER THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND UNDER. SO I CALLED A TOW TRUCK. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED I PULL MY TRUCK UP TO THE FLAT BED, WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WENT TO PULL MY NISSAN UP ON THE FLAT BED THE REAR END WAS LOCKED UP, I HAD IT IN NEUTRAL AT THE TIME. I STARTED MY TRUCK AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE, I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO NOTICE MY DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN OFF AND WAS ON THE GROUND. THIS WAS VERY UPSETTING, I JUST KEPT THINKING WHAT IF I HAD THE MUSIC ON OR SOMETHING AND DIDN'T HEAR THE NOISE WHEN I DID. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. A LOCKED UP REAR END OR A DRIVE SHAFT FALLING OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THERE ARE QUITE A BIT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I LOVE MY TRUCK AND HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT, DID ALL MY REQUIRED SERVICES. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I STILL FELL UNDER THE 60,000MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, I HAD ABOUT 56K AT THE TIME, AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR END ASSEMBLY. I WOULD ASSUME THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE FOUND, AND SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THE 2008 TITAN HAS A NEW REAR AXEL DESIGN THAT HAS ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY, NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY ADDRESSED THE ISSUE IN THE LATER MODELS.
