| Description of the problem | It was around 3:30 pm and i was just getting off of school. There was a good amount of snow on the ground so i decided to put it into 4 wheel drive. I drove for about 4 miles to get onto interstate 69. I started to accelerate and as soon as i got up to around 45mph, i heard a loud bang from the front end. The truck jerked to the left, i grabbed the steering wheel with both hands preventing from slamming into a semi in the lane beside me. Luckily i didn't get hurt. I know it is the differentials are completely trashed. I have an appointment at the nissan dealership to get it diagnosed. I believe that i should not have to pay for the damage since this has been a major problem in the titans. I bought a nissan because i heard they were very reliable, and the company is willing to help. I sure do hope they help me out with this major defect in my truck. I really hope that this becomes a recall before someone really gets hurt, or even worse, killed. |
