| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 nissan titan, and i noticed oil on my rear wheels, and on the floor below both of my rear brakes. The oil was leaking from the rear differential at both ends of the axle. The oil was leaking all over the brake backing plate. I took it to the dealer and they replaced both rear wheel bearings and seals. I turned this into nissan,and they re-embersed me for the repair. I found that this problem is common on the 2004 nissan titan, and i feel this is a safety issue as the rear brakes do not operate well now that the oil was on the brakes. At the time, i had approximately 75000 miles on the truck, and don't tow or use for heavy use. I drive this as i would a car. Anyhow, the passenger side wheel seal has started leaking again, and i have 90,000 miles on the truck now. I feel nissan should be forced to recall this potentially dangerous manufacturer defect. |
