Description of the problem | Comment on rear-end failure: rear differential failed leaving a gas station at 10 mph with no trailer disabling driver from having proper control of vehicle with intermittent drive/power-train capabilities and distracting popping/grinding sounds of failed components in rear differential. Upon removing rear differential internal gears found both spider gears had numerous teeth broken off while all other internal gears looked "normal". Nissan1 (case/file#6346683) and my local dealer/service manager offered no warranty replacement help after it was requested. Repair from nissan was quoted at $3,604. 67 for complete axle assembly replacement and only offers a 12,000 mile x 12 month warranty! Vehicle had 69,960 miles at time of defect/malfunction. Rear differential upgraded to a detroit truetrac (limited slip differential) at owners expense but to lack of confidence in the nissan rear axle assembly/components and reported failure cases with minimum nissan cooperation! This is a known defect that nissan should be responsible for on all titans. Please help! |
