Rear axle seal leaking again in less than 3 yrs. I have had two rear ends in my 2004 Nissan Titan and it is now leaking on the left rear. I have had the rear replaced last year and now it is just over the yr. Warrenty for another replacement and Nissan is saying I need to have the entire rear replaced and it is costly.

I have a 2004 Titan crew cab 4X4 with 61,000 miles. April of 2009 I checked my air conditioner and found it not to be cooling. I took it in the my local dealership who informed me I had a leak in the high pressure ac hose. Charges for repair $450. Ok no problem. In the following month of may after returning from a trip I found oil below the right axel. Again I took it to my dealership. I was informed that the high pressure hose for the transmission and the high pressure hose for the power steering was both leaking. The mechanic informed me that the hose brackets on that model were bad and that along with new hoses he put on the new type of brackets. He didn't say why the hoses leaked other than "you know the truck is five years old." By the way the cost for that repair $859. So in the span of 30 days I have spent over $1300 to have all of the high pressure hoses replaced. I have never had to replace hoses like this on any vehicle I've ever owned and some I kept for up to ten years. Is it the hoses that are sub-standard or is it the clamps that wore through the hoses? either way all the hoses should not have needed replacement in such a short time. It doesn't matter I was looking buying a new Titan until this came up. No new Titan for me.

My 2004 Nissan Titan leaks profusely onto by emergency brakes. My emergency brakes do not work at all on a hill. The Nissan mechanic has pointed this out to me while the truck was up on the rack. He stated that the left rear axle seal was and still leaking. I would have to replace the seal spacer and bearing, for a grand total of $171 for parts, and almost $200 for labor. This has happen repeatedly on all Nissan Titan trucks. There should be a recall on this item. Owners should be compensated for their expenses on such a defective part.

I own a 2004 Nissan Titan. I have had this vehicle in the shop for brake failure numerous times. I recently had a car accident in the vehicle because of brake failure. This vehicle was damaged, and the vehicle I hit was also damaged, and sustained injuries. This vehicle was now out of warranty, and the dealer will not repair it, I have stacks of service records, where the truck has been in the shop for brake failure since 2004 when I bought it new. Now I am looking at repairing the vehicle and the person I hit and the insurance company was giving me problems because they didn't believe that this vehicle was known for its brake failure.

My entire rear axle had to be replaced at 31,500 miles on my Nissan Titan. It started howling and smoking when driving to moab. The dealer replaced the entire rear axle. Thankfully I was not at highway speeds when the rear end failed. In addition, the vehicle has had 4 sets of brakes/rotors/calipers on the vehicle and is starting to exhibit signs of needing the fix again.

Front brake pads, and rotors, are being redone again, at 11700 miles. This was done before at around 7000-800 miles. I am worried, that they will go out again, and that I will have to replace them again in another 10000 miles, and I will then have to pay for them, especially if this is a known problem.
