| Description of the problem | My 2006 nissan titan has an axel seal failure on the drivers side rear, differential fluid is leaking onto the rear brakes causing reduced braking and also the potential for axle/differential failure. Nissan refuses to address this design flaw. They have a re-engineered replacement axle shaft and seal at a cost of about $800 per side. This should be a recall not $1600 out of my pocket to fix. Will nissan and ntsb wait until there are fatalities before they address this common issue with the nissan titans? |
