| Description of the problem | Hello. I recently bought a 2004 nissan titan. When having the vehicle checked for safety, we noticed that one of the rear axle seals on the passengers side were leaking. The seal looked to have lead a fairly large amount of oil that was saturating the rim and also soaked the emergency break on the passenger side. After looking at the car fax in noticed that this same vehicle had a rear axle seal replace in january. I cannot be certain this seal was the same seal as the one in january. The vehicle has 68000 miles on it. After doing some research on titan talk. Com i noticed that this is a common problem from this truck. I am not sure if anything can be done about it but i do feel like this could turn into a safety issue considering not only that this seems to be a common problem, but that when this problem does occur, it saturates the rims, tires and brakes with oil. |
