| Description of the problem | My nissan titan crews brakes were not performing well on a trip i took. After getting home i noticed oil on my garage floor at both rear brakes. The rear diff. Was leaking all over the brake backing plate to the extent that oil was being slung throughout the wheel well. I have not taken it to the dealer yet since i just found this problem but i am at 38,000 mi. Just 2000 mi. Out of warranty. I checked online and this appears to be a common problem. I feel nissan should be forced to recall this potentially dangerous manufacturer defect. *jb |
