| Description of the problem | Continuing problems with 2005 nissan titan. Current issue is failing rear axle. I have complained numerous times about this problem i. E. Whinning, clunk but have been told that this is normal as vehicle ages. Indicated to local dealer problems reported with failing axles, and axle seals and axle breather problems. They indicated they were unaware of very many such problems. Noise and clunk became worse and i began to investigate via web and through my organization membership (club titan) and discovered a large number of customers with similar issues. Back to local dealership who finally admitted known issues with axles. Past warranty at this point, they recommended contacting nissan north america. Called and described issues, they assigned file # and asked me to obtain additional diagnosis (which i had to again pay for) and information about any previous nissan vehicles owned. Before i was able to obtain the requested information, nissan called back and denied any assistance citing age/mileage of vehicle. I indicated that this has been an ongoing problem, not just something that has occurred after the warranty. They called back several days later and indicated that there is no record anywhere of any complaints on my part regarding the axle problem. Seems strange that other history exists (brake problems, recalls, etc.) on my vehicle, but oddly "nothing" about axle problems. We are moving soon, and i cannot afford the out of pocket repairs, but i cannot put my family at risk of serious injury or death. |
