| Description of the problem | On a recall for a faulty ecm (engine control module). The vehicle stalled and would not start again, had it towed to dealer. Nissan covered this ecm. During the repair the mechanic noted that the rear axle seals were leaking and recommended that they be repaired as soon as possible. The cost to repair was estimated at $750. 00. While web surfing for the repair process for the seals i ran across many complaints concerning this problem with the nissan titan including models from 2004 to present (2012). Based on the feedback from other titan owners, this is a common flaw with the vehicle and a costly one at that. Also this is the first time i have ever witnessed rear axle seals failing in a vehicle. Most seem to last the life time of the vehicle. I believe this is a manufacture's responsiblity due to a defective parts creating an unsafe and useless means of transportation. *tt |
