 Description of the problemI have a 2006 nissan titan and just before 60,000 miles the rear end failed. I was on the highway doing about 65mph. The rear started to make noise so i pulled off the road to take a look. When i looked under the truck there was differential fluid all over the rear of the truck and under. So i called a tow truck. When the tow truck arrived i pull my truck up to the flat bed, when the tow truck driver went to pull my nissan up on the flat bed the rear end was locked up, i had it in neutral at the time. I started my truck and put it in drive and there was a loud noise, i looked under the truck to notice my drive shaft had fallen off and was on the ground. This was very upsetting, i just kept thinking what if i had the music on or something and didn't hear the noise when i did. If this had happened at highway speeds i could have been killed. A locked up rear end or a drive shaft falling off at high speeds is a very serious safety issue. I have done some research on this matter and found that this is not an isolated incident. There are quite a bit of people having this same issue. I love my truck and have taken very good care of it, did all my required services. When this happened i still fell under the 60,000mile powertrain warranty, i had about 56k at the time, and they replaced the entire rear end assembly. I would assume that nissan is aware of this issue, due to the number of complaints that i have found, and should do something about it before someone is killed.
