Titan 8-cyl

  • 150,000 miles
Rear axle seals on my Nissan 2004 Titan have been replaced 4 times in the last 2 years, I just had them replaced and the new seals are leaking. This is due to a poorly designed axle by Nissan; of course they will not stand behind their poor design. The bulletin put out by the car manufacture is to replace the axle's being both sides in the rear at a cost of thousands should Nissan do the work. I find this very disturbing as do thousands of other 04, 05, 06 model year Titan owners. The real problem is if gone undetected by some, the rear can lose all of its oil causing the rear to lock up! this could and would kill people if the accident were bad enough. The second issue here is and I quote, "C'mon Nissan, stand behind your product and recall what could be a fatal situation here? unquote". as much as I like the Titan, this issue has sickened me to the point that I will shop elsewhere when the time comes. Talk about passing the buck! I have seen the axle removed and rust pits form under the seal causing the leak. It is as though the metal used is from china.
