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. *TR
2006 NISSAN TITAN AXLE SEAL FAILURE. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND AXLE SEAL REPLACED AND THE SECOND TIME THE PINION SEAL HAS BEEN REPLACED ON A TRUCK WITH ONLY 73000 MILES. THE COST IS PROHIBITIVE AND THE FAILURE CAUSES GREASE TO DRIP ON THE REAR BRAKES. *TR

REAR AXLE IS LEAKING OIL FROM IT. ITS GETTING THE REAR BRAKES WET, WITH THE OIL IS MAKING IT HARDER TO STOP. I FIRST NOTICED THIS THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT BECAUSE I COULD NOT STOP. MY NISSAN TITAN IS A 2006 XE. 74500 MILES. I HAVE ONLY TOWED A TRAILER WITH THE TRUCK A HAND FULL OF TIMES AND NEVER EXCEEDED 5000 LBS OF TRAILER WEIGHT WHICH INCLUDES THE WEIGHT OF THE TRAILER. THERE IS ALSO A TOW PACKAGE INSTALLED IN THE TRUCK. I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING IN TO PARTS AND PRICES OF REPAIRING THIS LEAK. IF THIS COULD CAUSE BRAKES TO FAIL HOW COME THIS ISN'T A RECALL? AND IF IT DOES BECOME A RECALL WILL THEY ALSO COVER ANY PAINT DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR FROM THE OILS ON THE TAIL GATE? *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 6, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL SENDER UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW IMPROVED SENDER CARD. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

WIRES FOR THE REAR AUDIO SPEAKERS ARE ALSO CONTAINED N THE HARNESS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE WIRES FOR THE SEAT BELTS AND SPEAKER WIRES BREAK AND MAKE CONTACT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE PRETENSIONER MAY DEPLOY. IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS RETRACTED, IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO USE THE SEAT BELT. IF ONE OF THE WIRES ON THE RIGHT SIDE HARNESS FOR THE SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR BREAKS, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AS DESIGNED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH AND PERSONAL INJURY.
