THERE IS AN ONGOING FAILURE OF REAR AXLE SEALS AND BEARINGS IN OUR 2007 NISSAN TITAN. THIS RESULTS IN THE SLIP AND BRAKE LIGHT BURNING CONTINUOUSLY AS WELL AS THE REAR AXLE LEAKING OIL. WE HAVE HAD THIS REPLACED TWICE UNDER WARRANTY BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. THEY WERE CHANGED AT 34,712 AND 58,205 MILES RESPECTIVELY. THE LIGHTS ARE ON AND THEY ARE LEAKING AGAIN AT 75,209 MILES. THERE IS A NISSAN TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM WITH 2004-2007 TITANS. WE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WILL NOT COVER A PROBLEM OUT OF WARRANTY THOUGH IT IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. IT APPEARS TO US THEY PUT CHEAP REPAIRS IN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED THEY WANT THEIR CUSTOMERS TO HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THEIR DESIGN FLAW CORRECTLY. WE HAVE CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WERE GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND THEY WERE GOING TO INVESTIGATE AND LET US KNOW IF THEY COULD HELP. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS WE WERE TOLD NISSAN WOULD NOT HELP US RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE LEAKING OIL PRESENTS A DANGER WHEN IT GETS ON THE BRAKES AND MAKES IT UNSAFE AS WELL AS THEY POSSIBILITY OF PARTS FAILURE IN THE REAR END. I HAVE BEEN ON MANY TITAN FORUMS ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM. WE ARE ALSO SENDING THIS INFORMATION TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA. *TR
