| Description of the problem | I was driving home from work in my 2005 nissan titan (se crew cab 4x4 off-road edition with tow package) and started hearing a loud metal on metal sound from the rear of the truck. I also could feel a large jolt when accelerating and braking. I took the vehicle to the local nissan dealership the next morning and they said i needed a new rear differential, and that i also needed to replace the seal on the front differential. They told me that it would cost $3,500 to replace the rear differential and $400 to fix the front differential. The truck has only 67,000 miles on it, and is out of warranty. I have had all the recommended services on the vehicle, and do not use the vehicle for off-roading, nor do i use the vehicle to tow. Nissan said they would only contribute a thousand dollars toward the repair. The dealership ordered the parts today. This is yet another titan to add to the rear differential problems list. |
