| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 nissan titan which i purchased used at 23,000 miles. Two years ago (2013) i heard a loud noise coming from the front differential. I took it to a mechanic and i was told that the u-joints failed which cost $1400 dollars. Now, march 2015, i again heard a loud noise coming from the front differential. I found that the right axle had popped out. I took it to a mechanic and i was told that the front differential failed which cost $2300 dollars. I was told by my mechanic that both of these incidents could have caused me to crash and that i was lucky. I have had several other issues with this vehicle (fuel pump, brakes, exhaust system). I was also contacted by an attorney who informed me that he was conducting a law suite and wanted to know what issues i have had. The attorney informed me that my vehicle was deemed a "lemon" by the first owner. |
