| While driving the truck in 2wd i heard a very loud clunking (metal on metal) noise coming form the front of the truck. after reaching home, i realized that the front axle was falling out of the front differential. i jacked the truck up and dropped the front diff pan. this is where i realized that the clips hold in the front axle have failed and broke in two. this is a huge safety concern, had i been traveling down the highway i could have been killed if the wheel came off. i researched online and discovered this a common problem. *tr | |||

| Within a period of 14-15 months both rear axle seal assemblies failed, one each on passenger and driver side of the rear axle. according to national tire & battery the entire axle assembly is required to repair or replace a seal that is leaking, at a cost of approximately $1000.00 each time. this seems quite unreasonable and excessive to replace an axle that is in perfect operating condition when the only issue is with a rubber boot (seal) that is leaking fluid. *tr | |||

| Had truck in shop for exhaust pipe falling off and it was brought to my attention that both the left and right rear axel seals and bearings are bad and need to be replaced. the axel had been leaking fluid onto my tires and brakes which could have resulted in brake failure or fire. nissan will not warranty the rear axel repairs. this is the second new nissan factory axel to be installed on this vehicle since purchased new in 2006. it is currently having the rear seals and bearings replaced at my expense. this seems to be a common problem with the nissan titan model and should be recalled. *tr | |||

| Noticed the drivers side rear axle seal is leaking fluid. could potentially cause the axle to seize and/or brakes to fail. this is a major safety issue and should be recalled. luckily i had a mechanic notice it before i got into an accident. this is a dangerous and expensive problem that should be covered by the manufacturer due to poor quality parts. | |||

| I noticed an exhaust leak on my truck. took it to a reputable exhaust shop, they told me their was a crack in the converter and i needed to take it to the dealership. 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 coursre 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! total repairs would be around 3000.00 for the manifolds and the differential, i feel something needs to be done as this is an ongoing issue. | |||

| Both rear axle seals started leaking all over my brakes and inside the wheel well causing poor breaking ability. i called the nissan dealer and they told me this is a common problem with titans and that they no longer recommend replacing just the seals but instead the whole axle. 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. if this is such a common problem, and nissan knows that it is, why don't they do a full recall? this is a very dangerous problem that can cause brake failure. | |||

| 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. will nissan and ntsb wait until there are fatalities before they address this common issue with the nissan titans? | |||

| Just replaced the rear seals for a nissan titan 2006. problem began at 65,000 miles. i was told that lack of fluid due to leaking could cause the vehicle to lock-up while driving. the internet is filled with complaints regarding this issue. this seems to be a major safety problem. also had tailpipe issues (dropping from the truck) which is also well documented on the internet and, again, a safety problem. needs to be recalled. | |||

| 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 manfaucture maintenance is perfromed on time by a certified mechanic. | |||

| Driver side rear axle seal leaking oil and faulty axle bearing at 50k miles. very common failure in early mileage life of vehicle, many owner complaints. replace seal an bearing at cost over $700. the driver side rear axle failure is most common and is not the dominant drive wheel. now the passenger side axle showing signs of leakage. vehicle does not tow anything and does not carry heavy loads. dealer advised not to drive it any further or catastrophic damage may occur to rear differential assembly especially at highway speeds. repairs have been done. | |||

| 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 will never buy a nissan again if they don't resolve this issue at their expense. | |||

| On my 2006 nissan titan truck, the rear pinion seal was replaced once under warranty and has failed again at 72250 miles. i am hearing some play in the rear differential, caused by lack of oil from the leaking seal. it took an excessive amount of fluid to refill the differential, telling me it had been leaking for a long time, the second time. failure of the differential would mean a roadside breakdown or a vehicle crash. many people have complained of this problem and nissan needs to address it. | |||

| I noticed that my 2006 nissan titan with 54,000 miles was leaking oil from the right rear axle the other day. i called my nissan dealer and he told me my warranty ended in january and the rear axle seals would not be covered. the dealership knew all about the problem but would not fix the problem unless i paid 450 dollars. they called it normal wear and tear. they offered even to sell me a new titan. i declined. 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 even found a service bulletin issued by nissan addressing the problem. so they know there is a problem but wont do anything about it. my local mechanic told me i was lucky that the leaking oil didn't get into the brake pads. | |||

| 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. this should be a recall with this many rear differential problems. | |||

| Both sides of the rear axle have begun leaking badly and there are only 105,000 miles on the vehicle. the vehicle has not been altered in any way and is used for regular use, not a work truck. the leak is so bad that the oil has saturated the inside of the wheel well and the rear brake pads. when i called the dealership about the issue they tried to sell me the entire assembly(axles, seals, bearings, etc) claiming that mechanics haven't been pressing the bearings correctly. upon further research online, it looks like a lot of titan owners have been having problems with the rear ends leaking even at much earlier intervals. based on my conversation with the dealership it sounds like nissan is aware of this and trying to sell the fix when people come to the dealership. | |||

| Right rear axle seal blew out and leaked differential fluid. differential fluid leaking on rear brake rotors which could cause brake failure. also, the rear differential oil will slowly leak and cause the rear differential to lose fluid and fail. as this seemed to be a very common problem with the nissan titan, nissan should address this issue and offer a permanent fix to this safety issue. | |||

| Noticed a small grinding noise underneath my 2006 nissan titan le. a friend tells to check the bearings. i bring it the dealer, dealer tells me i need to replace the rear bearings and seals - $900.00. they also tell me my brakes and emergency brakes shoes are shot due to bearing fluid leaking all over them, they wanted $1600.00. replaced all the brakes myself, which were totally fine....i then notice the same grinding noise plus another under my drivers side floor. bring it back to dealer asking them why. i come to find out the front differential is shot along with the transfer case. this truck has highway miles, only driven in 4x4 for snow. how can this happen? i then proceed to look for answers on the internet and find out that there are many other titan owners with the same problems. nissan has actually changed the part numbers for the axle due to the issues that are related. the new repairs will cost between $3600-$4000 which i cannot afford at the moment. drive safe titan owners... | |||

| I took my titan in to have the rotors turned and was informed that the rear axle seals were leaking. according to what i have read and been told this is very common to the titans and can ruin your brakes as well. some people have reported having to replace them 2 or 3 times. nissan now recommends changing out the entire axle at your expense unless it is still under warranty. the porblem 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 ca'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. this is very dangerous due to the possible ramifications to he brake system. | |||

| The hub seals on my 2006 nissan titan have failed.. and are leaking fluid. in my online research it appears to be a issue that returns due to a axle ventilation issue. i have contacted nissan usa and they have not provided a resolution or reply as the dealer says the entire axle now requires replacement. titantalk.com has several reports from other owners experiencing the same issue. please investigate. my truck presently has 70900 miles on it and was purchased in august of 2008 nwith 58000. the driver use is under 6k miles per year so this appears to be greater concern. | |||

| I have a 2006 nissan titan pickup that has had the rear axle seals replaced two times and had it in for a third time and was told it was residual oil from the previous repair and nsent on my awy wewll it was leaking again and now has to go back for a fourth time in about 3000 miles. the truck has only 28000 miles on it. this leak has the potential to get gear oil all over the rear disc brakes causing poor braking, also if the rear end siezed up from lack of oil it could cause you to go out of control. | |||

| I have a 2006 nissan titan 4wd. last year, after a long trip, i took it to get an oil change, and the mechanic told me the rear axel was leaking. this was in july of 2008, and the vehicle had 48,813 miles on it. i got it fixed. then 11 months later, again after a long trip, the same thing happened. this was in june of 2009, and the vehicle had 63,914 miles on it. i went online to see if anyone else was having this problem, and apparently it is an ongoing problem that is happening to a large number of nissan titan owners. some are reporting that the oil is leaking onto the rear brakes, causing them to fail. i have not noticed this yet, but each time i caught my leak early. 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. this is a very dangerous problem, and nissan should recall the earlier models to rectify the situation. *tr | |||

| Right 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). as this seemed to be a very common problem with the nissan titan, nissan should address this issue and offer a permanent fix so would not be faced with the safety issue in the future. *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 will never buy a nissan again if they don't resolve this issue at their expense. | |||

| I had an accident in my 2006 nissan titan in july 08. i was pulling into a parking spot when the engine roared the truck quickly moved forward and i was unable to stop the truck. the only thing that stopped the truck was a cement spindle fence. i destroyed 10 feet of fence and my insurance had to pay for the damages. 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 then took the truck to an open field and pushed the brake and the gas pedal at the same time and the tires just spun and the truck did not move. i tried the same thing in an empty parking lot, the tires spun and the truck did not move. 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 believe that there is some type of defect that caused the engine to roar and cause the truck to speed forward. i filed a police/accident report with the local police. *tr | |||

| My vehicle is a 2006 nissan titan se crew cab 4x4. i was looking at my new tires when i noticed fluid leaking at the end of the axle where it joins with the wheel. fortunately, there was no failure. i took it 2 miles down the road to central valley nissan upon noticing this problem (i was down there within 30 minutes). the service manager said they have seen this on titans before. he said it is a rear axle seal that has failed. i was told this happens because the axle warps. i made an appointment to have this fixed the next day (i am going down first thing tomorrow morning). i am hopeful that this problem will not occur again with my vehicle. based on internet searches, this problem seems to be fairly widespread. sincerely, michael james *tr | |||

| I own a 2006 nissan tittan which has had two rear axle seals leak. both were fixed under warranty by my local nissan dealer. my understanding is that this is a common problem with nissan titans and poses a safety issue since the leaks allow rear differential oil to leak on the rear brakes. | |||

| 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 | |||

| There was not a crash, but there was a problem that could have led to one. the rear axle seals leak on almost all nissan titan pickup trucks. i've had mine replaced 3 times in 75,000 miles. when this happens, oil from the axle covers the rear brake rotors, affecting braking ability. *tr | |||

| Routine inspection of rear axle revealed axle seal leak on passenger side. 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 53675 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). as this seemed to be a very common problem with the nissan titan, nissan should address this issue and offer a permanent fix so weould not be faced with the safety issue in the future. | |||

| I have owned a 2006 nissan titan since march 17, 2006 and have had a severe rear axle leak two times in less than 32,000 miles. the first leak was due to a faulty left side axle seal and was replaced under warranty. the latest leak, which was communicating differential oil over the entire underbelly of the truck including the exhaust system and rear brake rotors was determined to be a faulty pinion seal which was repaired under warranty. i am afraid that this will be a recurring issue that may have potential for fire or unsafe vehicle operation due to oil reaching the brake rotors and the exhaust system. *tr | |||

| I have a 2006 nissan titan and been having problems with the rear drive axles leaking differential fluid. i had the first problem happen around november of last year. my right hand side of the axle was leaking so i replaced the seal, spacer, and bearing on that one side only. now, my left side axle started to leak around april. i started to notice when my rear brakes started smoking while driving down the highway. i've had my vehicle parked since then and in the process of replacing the seal on it. *tr | |||

| Rear axle seal failure. i noticed a driver-side rear seal leak yesterday (7/29/2009). rear seal is leaking differential fluid over rear brakes causing hazard of a brake failure. the vehicle is a 2006 nissan titan king cab xe 2x4 with approximately 25000 mi. vehicle was purchased new in 2/2007 from dealer. vehicle has never towed or been off-road. this is a safety concern due to a low mileage vehicle with no abuse having a mechanical failure that could affect a safety feature such as the brakes. *tr | |||

| I continue to have a constant whining sound coming from the rear differential unit at 55 & 60 mph. the unit was replaced by the dealer at 29335 miles because it was whining at 55 mph. the new unit was quit when new but now is as loud as the previous one at 60mph. this sound is annoying & never goes away while driving these speeds. i am concerned it is a design flaw & will either fail when it is out of warranty or cause me to be stranded. i hear a lot about axle seal leaks & diff. units failing on the titans. the current mileage on the truck is approx. 35k. *tr | |||

| Had been hearing a 'clank' when putting vehicle into gear, similar to when a u-joint is failing. while towing my boat trailer (boat was in the water), had the vehicle in 4wd, and turned hard left to exit the parking spot. heard a loud snap in the rear end, then heard another one. used truck to pull the boat out, but then disconnected the trailer and had my friend tow the boat home. took truck to dealership next morning, and they replaced the entire rear axle assembly under warranty (thank god!). *tr | |||

| I was changing rear differential oil found leaking form the driver side axle seal and pinion gear shaft front seal. if axle seal leak gets worse it might get on to the abs sensor and brake disk and emergency brake (little drum disk) and cause serious safety problem. also if i did not know about this and kept driving this axle only hold about 2 quarts of gear oil, all oil can leak out and cause differential failure problem suddenly and it is a serious safety issue also. leaking oil is also a environmental hazarded. so many people seems to have this problem, by researching on the internet. *jb | |||

| Ever since i bought my titan (3-3-06) i noticed a whining noise at speed when i let off of the gas. i always thought it was tire noise. well on november 15, 2006 i noticed a real bad grinding/whining noise when i decelerated. there was only 6900 miles on the truck. i took the truck to the dealership and a mechanic rode with me up the street and back and said that my truck had problems. i left the truck at the dealership overnight and they replaced the entire rear end. the mechanic said that my truck had problems before i even bought it and that the whining noise i always heard was the rear end and not the tires. *nm | |||

| I was driving the vehicle down a city street approximately 40 mph, when a loud, banging, clanking noise erupted from the rear end. the truck began to shake and the rear tires momentarily seized up putting the vehicle into a skid, which i was able to correct. the rear end then began to free wheel and i pulled to the side of the road. only by temporarily putting the vehicle into 4wd was i able to get safely off the roadway. i had vehicle towed to nissan dealership for diagnosis and repair. truck is under warranty with nissan. dealer diagnosed a complete failure of the rear differential and replaced entire rear axle under warranty. *jb | |||
