| Description of the problem | I am complaining about a problem that has developed in my 2005 nissan titan. Both rear axle seals are leaking, oil is getting onto the rear wheels braking system thereby posing a potentially dangerous situation for the occupants and the vehicle. This problem occurred just around 50,000 miles on my 2005 nissan titan, which is very surprising for any vehicle with this small amount of mileage. I have found on other websites that hundreds of other titan owners have had the same problem with leaking rear axle seals, with mileage as low as 8,000 miles, 25,000 miles, 40,000 miles; yet still, nissan continues to ignore this problem, as far as a recall is concerned. This problem is very costly to be corrected, ranging from $1,000 to as high as $3,000, depending on the dealer's estimation. I would strongly recommend, for the safety of persons and vehicles, that nissan be compelled to come up with a recall of these faulty axle seals on nissan titans. Thank you. |
