| Description of the problem | Noticed a small grinding noise underneath my 2006 nissan titan le. A friend tells to check the bearings. I bring it the dealer, dealer tells me i need to replace the rear bearings and seals - $900. 00. They also tell me my brakes and emergency brakes shoes are shot due to bearing fluid leaking all over them, they wanted $1600. 00. Replaced all the brakes myself, which were totally fine.... I then notice the same grinding noise plus another under my drivers side floor. Bring it back to dealer asking them why. I come to find out the front differential is shot along with the transfer case. This truck has highway miles, only driven in 4x4 for snow. How can this happen? I then proceed to look for answers on the internet and find out that there are many other titan owners with the same problems. Nissan has actually changed the part numbers for the axle due to the issues that are related. The new repairs will cost between $3600-$4000 which i cannot afford at the moment. Drive safe titan owners... |
