| About a month ago i notice a weird noise coming from underneath my truck whenever i would slow down and sometimes speed up. as the week went by i notice the noise getting lounder. it started out with a clicking sound then it intensified with a clucking sound. after having a local shop look at my truck they found fluids by the right break, which indicated that a seal had gone bad and they also told me that the clucking and clicking noises are from the gears in the differential. peices of the gears had broken off. they estimated a job like this would run about $3500!!! i do not have the kind of money! i have read all the treads posted by people who have this same problem and have contact nissan's consumer affairs department and got nowhere! please advise me how i can have nissan pay for this!!! | |||

| 06 titan le crew cab - stereo just stops - no audio, no power, nothing. this has occurred twice in less than 3 months with complete head unit replacement by the dealership. dealer states they can not remove the cds from the changer and must wait for factory to do so - i have not had any cds returned to date. pending other options - persue small claims suit for reimbursement of cds, one more incident of same item will meet il lemon laws under for impact to material value of the vehicle... i like the truck and it functions well except for this more simplistic item and the difficulty in getting repair from a dealer that i did not purchase the vehicle and the number of failures of the same item. nissan usa has not been materially helpful, only to document but no action. 2nd tires 285/70/r17 - reported to michelin (for bf goodrich rugged trail - oem) tires - have less than 6/32s tread remaining with only 6k miles on tires - michelin will not replace or compensate until 2/32s, though they acknowledge a problem given original tread was 13/32s so more than half tread life is gone in 6k miles. *jb | |||
