| Description of the problem | 2006 with 2000 miles; rear differential made a loud gear whine sound when in un-loaded de-cel. Took titan back to dealer. Dealer replaced differential under warranty (2000 miles, one month after purchase). At 115,000 miles in july of 2011, replaced rear axle seals (no warranty). Now, september 2012, at 133,000 miles. The slip and brake lights illuminate when differential gear oil is cold. Once warmed up, lights go out and stay out after titan is shut down and restarted warm. Changed differential oil every 7500 miles with 75w 140 synthetic oil per maintenance guidelines. No additives called for or used with gear oil changes. According to the owner's manual the lights (slip and brake) indicate that the anti-lock brakes and limited slip are not operational when lights are on. Differential repair/replacement required to re-gain abs and lsd features. Not sure if the ultimate failure mode is 'graceful' or not. |
