Description of the problem | I was recently driving my truck down interstate i-95 in philadelphia when i out of no where i heard a low pitched howeling noise, i was passing threw a construction zone so i couldn't pull onto the shoulder and look for a issue. A few seconds later i hear a loud series of thumping and my truck in the blink of an eye is traveling sideways at round 45mph, i swerved and missed several cars and managed to just miss the guard rail and come to a stop. If i was traveling anything over 45mph, it wouldn't have been pretty for a lot of people. I then inspected the vehicle to find that the rear axle had locked up the rear wheels and the drive shaft had torn out of the rear axle. Do to the rear wheels suddenly becoming locked, made the truck near impossible to steer and very dangerous when you consider the size of the vehicle. I had it towed to find that the rear axle had filled with moisture do to a defect in the seal & vent of the set up. I have come to find out that this is a common issue in the nissan titan world. |
