| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2005 nissan titan crew cab truck. I had heard a clicking while turning a week prior but did not here it again. A few days later when almost home i turned the corner and heard a loud clanking sound in the rear of the truck. As i got right at my street the back end started to freeze up as the tires started to lock up i parked the truck on side of road. Tried to move it after i look under the truck but it would not move. I had it towed to the local nissan dealer where i found out that the rear differential needs to be replaced on it at a cost of $4000. 00!!!! I have looked online and seen hundreds of complaints on the same issue. Nissan is telling me that they have never seen this before. I just thank god that i was next to my house as i would have lost control / got hurt / or hurt someone else if it locked up while driving down the highway. I currently awaiting it to be fixed. Not sure what to do? |
