| Description of the problem | Pass rear axle seal blew out and leaked differential fluid. Differential fluid leaking on rear brake rotors which could cause brake failure, which was a major safety concern to me. At time of failure no suspension modifications had been done to vehicle. Also, the rear differential oil will slowly leak and cause the rear differential to lose fluid and fail. As this seemed to be a very common problem with the nissan titan, nissan should address this issue and offer a permanent fix so we would not be faced with the safety issue in the future. |
