| Description of the problem | On the afternoon of feb. 25th, 2010 my nissan titan rear differential made a loud boom noise. After wards, the whenever the vehicle rolled a loud whirling noise could be heard in the rear of the vehicle. I towed the vehicle to my mechanic where he said the rear differential is shot. As he was backing up from the tow truck the truck made a second loud pop noise. My vehicle has only 40k miles on it. I do not tow anything. I do not constantly lug heavy items on it. I don't push my truck to the limit at all. But this happens. And worst of all it happens when the warranty expires. This is ridiculous and unacceptable especially from nissan. This should be a recall and should be fixed. I have three options from my mechanic. Used for a thousand dollar. Rebuild it for 1,200. 00 dollars, or over 2000 for new. And this does not guarantee if it would happen again. I am very upset at this situation. |
