| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 nissan titan. My rear axel seals are leaking. This truck only has 85k, as of 6/10/11. I rarely pull trailers, or any heavy load. This is my daily driver. I do mostly city driving. I noticed there was a problem when my brakes started acting up. Ex. I was driving near my house when, i pressed my brakes and it almost went to the floor. It also kicked in the abs, when i was only doing about 10mph. The emergency brake light came on flashing. Every time i pressed the brake(only two times) it did this. I pulled over and turned the truck off. Got out looked around and did not see anything wrong. I got back in the truck and drove straight home. It did not do this again until about 15k miles later. I then took it straight to nissan and they told me this was the problem. They told me only one was bad. About a week later i put the truck on a lift myself. I noticed both were leaking! I dont understand why this would happen unless it was a manufacturing default. There is never a hard strain on my drivetrain. It is 2wd and my work truck in the city. I have also read on the forums that this is a known problem. My radiator also busted last week. Up till now i have never had any problem with this truck. |
