Description of the problem | Loud pop coming from underneath truck during backing up and turning. Later same day notice repeated loud pops during tight turns to the left. Drove slowly to nissan dealer this morning with pops happening driving straight. Dealer listened to pops and without any further diagnosis told me they will order new differential under warranty. Failure of rear differential in my opinion at only 52,221 miles is unacceptable. My power train warranty will run out at 60,000. Dealer will provide 12 month 12,000 mile warranty on new differential and claims that it will be covered until 64,221 miles. I am now worried that the new unit could fail unexpectedly and cause future excess damage and a possible stranding or worse an accident at speed. I hope that it doesn't take my death or someone else? S to have the failure rates looked at by your organization. *jb |
