| Description of the problem | Driveshaft failure, leading to differential lock. While driving down the highway, the driveshaft came loos and fell out of the truck. No one was behind me so no one was hurt! The pinon yoke that slides onto the pinon gear shaft of the ring and pinon differential assembly using a spline shaft. The pinon nut has completely unthreaded off the pinon shaft,but there was no damage to the threads on the spline. As soon as the pinon nut began to back off it would all the pinon gear to move against the ring gear in a forward and rearward motion against the shims. There is a wide range of complaints of the 04 titan forums that have indicated the rear differential and drive shaft problems and that nissan has covered some of them under a good will warranty. If they are knowing about all these problems and covering some of them why are they not recalling this. If anyone would have been behind me they could have been killed if this went through these window. Sd lyons (5083369393) has seen this happen and a woman been paralyzed for life as the drive shaft went through her window and took off her roof and slice her head. How many more people before nissan will have to recall this! |
