| Description of the problem | Both rear axle seals leaked at 38,xxx in 9/2009 and were replaced under warranty. No issues for two years. In 8/2011 driver side is leaking again. Tried to express my concerns to nissan and was rejected because of "warranty" issues. Seems to be an inherent problem experienced by a lot of 04-07' titan/armada owners. Tsb issued by nissan to replace entire axle assembly 5 months after my first leak, but they don't feel it's their responsibility to notify owners who experienced the issue prior to the bulletin. Was told by a nissan rep. That the tsb is a guideline for tech's. To properly fix an issue if it arises. I had the issue but it was 5 months before they figured out how to do a "proper" fix, and according to them it doesn't apply to me unless the part or labor or drivetrain was still under warranty. Was told that if this was a widespread issue they might offer good faith credit. Curious as to how many it will take for them to not turn the blind eye to an obvious problem with what i feel is a safety issue. If there is a problem with the drive axle of a vehicle, i believe that should qualify as a safety issue or recall. |
