TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES BROKE AND SPRAYED TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL OVER. ENGINE WOULD BARELY TRANSFER POWER TO TRANSMISSION CAUSING VEHICLE TO BARELY BE DRIVEABLE. AFTER BEING TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, NOT ONLY THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT ALSO THE RADIATOR HOSES AND THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING LINE. NEITHER OF THOSE TO MY KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO BE FIXED WHEN BROUGHT IN BUT WAS TOLD THEY WERE CRACKED OR SLOWLY LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER 2 WEEKS AND 1500 DOLLARS LATER I FINALLY HAVE MY TRUCK BACK. *TR

WE PURCHASED THE NISSAN TITAN NEW IN 2007. THE FIRST REPAIR FOR THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL (AXLE BEARING WAS LEAKING) WAS ON 1/13/2010 34,617 MILES. THE SECOND REPAIR FOR THE SAME ISSUE WAS 3/29/2012 WITH 79,010 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOW AGAIN BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM AT 115,000 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT RECURRING ISSUE EVERY 35 - 40,000 MILES AND IT IS NOW RECOMMENDED THAT A FULL REPLACEMENT OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS NEEDED TO FULLY FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS FROM BOTH A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE SHOULD THE VEHICLE LOCK UP AND THE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. *TR
REAR AXLE SEAL HAS A LEAK. THIS LEAK IS CAUSED TO INCREDIBLY POOR VENTILATION OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THE CHECK VALVE ALLOWS WATER INTO THE CASE AND DOES NOT ALLOW FOR PROPER VENTILATION. THIS, IN TURN, CAUSES OVERHEATING AND SEALS TO FAIL. THIS REPAIR HAS HAPPENED ON THIS TRUCK FOR THE SECOND TIME NOW, WITH NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT…
