| Description of the problem | No prior events leading to failure. The vehicle was driven normally according to manufacturers recommended procedure. The rear differential of my 2004 nissan titan broke 4 times, first time was at 6,000 miles, then every 3,000 miles there after. Nissan then replaced free of charge with a 2005 in which the rear differential has now broke 1 time. When the differential breaks the vehicle is immobilized and sometimes left in harms way (i. E. Unable to get out of the middle of an intersection, towing downhill and the differential breaks making the vehicle very hard to stop) nissan has replaced 3 rear differentials in the 2004 vehicle. They then gave a new 2005 nissan titan to me. Nissan has repaired 1 rear differential in this vehicle. I do not trust this vehicle and feel unsafe driving it as i am not sure when the next failure will happen. The incident date below is the most recent one.*jb |
