Problems with 2007 Nissan Titan POWER TRAIN

Rear differential falilure on a 2007 nissan titan. *tr

Rear axle seals leaking on 2007 nissan titan 4wd pickup with 23,500 miles. rear axle grease was leaking onto wheel and rear brake disk... potentially causing a failure of the brakes to stop adequately, had i not found the leak as quickly as i did. i understand that this is a frequent failure on the nissan titan. nissan replaced the seals under warranty with identical seals. i did not keep the old parts. here is one link to a forum that is tracking axle seal failures among its members: http://www.titantalk.com/forums/titan-engine-transmission-drivetrain/42837-rear-axle-seals-leaks-please-report.html there appears to be 350 nissan titan rear axle seal failures reported on this one website alone since august of 2008. *tr

Power train went needed to be replaced. only 27,000 miles on car. seals needed to be replaced after new power trained installed. *tr

Rear axle seal leaks rear axle seal blew out and leaked differential fluid. differential fluid leaking on rear brake rotors which could cause brake failure, which was a major safety concern to me. *tr

I have had both rear axle seals replaced on my nissan titan, they almost didn't cover the driver side because i was 300 miles over my warranty. i just felt since this has happened to both sides, what will keep it from happening again? i want to make sure nissan recognizes this problem and it is in need of a recall to fix it. the worse part is that it leaks axles grease onto the rear brakes causing them not to work. *tr

One rear axle already leaked and we had to repair it. now the other rear seal is leaking and we have to replace it. also the shocks are bad. *tr

There is an ongoing failure of rear axle seals and bearings in our 2007 nissan titan. this results in the slip and brake light burning continuously as well as the rear axle leaking oil. we have had this replaced twice under warranty but it keeps happening. they were changed at 34,712 and 58,205 miles respectively. the lights are on and they are leaking again at 75,209 miles. there is a nissan technical bulletin on this problem with 2004-2007 titans. we contacted nissan and they will not cover a problem out of warranty though it is a manufacturers defect. it appears to us they put cheap repairs in while under warranty and now that the warranty has expired they want their customers to have to pay to fix their design flaw correctly. we have called nissan corporate about this problem and were given a case number and they were going to investigate and let us know if they could help. after several weeks we were told nissan would not help us resolve the problem. the leaking oil presents a danger when it gets on the brakes and makes it unsafe as well as they possibility of parts failure in the rear end. i have been on many titan forums on the internet and this is a very big problem. we are also sending this information to the attorney general of the state of west virginia. *tr

2007 nissan titan le, complete rear end failure in the middle of an intersection with an 18' bass boat in tow. i had to be drug about 100 yards to a safe area to get the truck and boat disconnected, ruined a new set of rear tires as the rear end was locked up. truck currently in shop for new rear end/ hopefully root cause of failure. luckily no one was hurt. *tr

I noticed a popping in the rear end everytime i changed gears. i took it to my dealer and they ordered me a new rear end, and replaced it. *tr

1. clunking noise on slight takeoff in drive or reverse, driveline vibration at highway speeds, excessive slop or play in the drivetrain. 2. if the diff had failed completely, could seize locking the rear wheels, could cause you to lose power to drive wheels while merging 3. entire rear axle assembly and driveshaft replaced. *tr

No events leading up to failure, was driving down the road heard a pop, when making a hard left turn. went to the shop, turned in again, hard right, loud pop come from rear end. put truck on lift in shop, drained diff fluid, gear pieces came out. advised dealer in the morning, was told not to bring it in, they would check with nissan to see if it would be replaced under goodwill. was denied on 11/16/2007. *tr

Vehicle bought brand new and after 3500 miles continual clicking noise from drivetrain, took to dealer and had for 2 weeks and got it back and started doing it again within a day. took back in and dealer said it was the rear differential and replaced entire rear axle at 9230 miles. *tr

Had to have a new rear axle put in my 07 nissan titan with only 4,500 miles on it. truck would click and pop when i would take off in forward or reverse. *tr
