Titan 8-cyl

  • 47,000 miles
My '05 Titan 4X4 xe has had two rear axle seal failures in the past 20K miles. The first one occurred at 47K miles and was covered under warranty, now at 67K miles the same seal has failed again and now I have to pay out of my own pocket. The fact that oil gets all over the breaks should be reason enough to recall this item and get a permanent fix put in place.
