| Description of the problem | After many, many hours of research online to find a recall on the notorious rear end axle problem with the 2004, 2005, and some 2006 nissan titan's there is literally thousands of people with the same problem i am having and nissan has yet to put a recall out due to the poor design of their rear ends in these pick-ups. The problem is the rear axle seals going bad. The problem starts at the top of the rear end with the ventilation system. The ventilation system allows moisture and water to enter the rear end assembly which causes the axle seals to leak which then in turns gear oil leaking all over the rear brakes, which in turn leaks on to the highway. The first set of seals cost me almost $1,200 i am on my 3rd set of seals, and they are leaking again. I have owned the truck for 3 years and the vehicle has 136,xxx on it. The first set of seals went at under 20,000 miles. This is a serious problem due to the fact of the rear end gear oil leaking onto the rear brakes and our highways. There needs to be something done about a recall on these rear ends of these vehicles, before someone's life is taken unexpectedly. |
