| Description of the problem | Own a 2005 nissan titan 5. 6 le 4x4 offroad and tow package. On 5/29/07, i was pulling my travel trailer and made a turn, the rear end made a loud and truck shuddering thump. Afterwards, everytime i accelerated or turned, the rear end would thump and shake the entire truck. I took it to a dealer and was told the rear end needed to be replaced. This was a known issue. I was in richmond, va but live in nj, so i decided to try to get it home. Put it in 4x4 hi mode and made it. Dropped it off to nissan dealer in nj, they are replacing the rear end now, under powertrain warranty. |
