| Description of the problem | Both sides of the rear axle have begun leaking badly and there are only 105,000 miles on the vehicle. The vehicle has not been altered in any way and is used for regular use, not a work truck. The leak is so bad that the oil has saturated the inside of the wheel well and the rear brake pads. When i called the dealership about the issue they tried to sell me the entire assembly(axles, seals, bearings, etc) claiming that mechanics haven't been pressing the bearings correctly. Upon further research online, it looks like a lot of titan owners have been having problems with the rear ends leaking even at much earlier intervals. Based on my conversation with the dealership it sounds like nissan is aware of this and trying to sell the fix when people come to the dealership. |
