This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Rear seals on my Titan leaked all of the fluid out. I had filled my tires with air several days before and noticed nothing. All of the gear oil was gone.
During routine inspection, I found that the right rear axel seal was leaking so much that it had actually moistened the brake caliper and rotor. This is causing my truck to pull to the left during normal braking applications.
2004 Nissan Titan. The rear end is about to fail or has failed. There seems to be play in the drive line when you accelerate causing a slight bump. No thing has been done at this time.
2004 Nissan Titan brakes not seeming to work as they should. Found rear axle seal has failed spraying differential fluid on brake rotor. Will have to have seal replaced.
Rear axle seals defective. Leaking is bad whereas it is covering brakes. I have had it checked twice by 2 separate mechanics and the dealer and it was verified. I also conducted my own personal survey and found that 3 out of five Titan and armadas owners had to have this repaired.
I hear a clunk from the rear end whenever I shift from reverse to drive, kind of like if a U-joint was going out. I also hear a low pitch whine at acceleration 50-60 mph, but don't hear it upon deceleration. I also have a rear axel leak on passenger side, and noticed that my rear diffs paint is peeling which looks to be from excessive heat.
2004 Titan pickup; I had front end alignment problems from the time of purchase and four alignments and three sets of tires later I finally got the alignment right with a private business. The rear axle seal began leaking I think before the warranty ran out but the dealer servicing the truck did not make me aware of the problem until the warranty expired.
I nearly rolled my truck yesterday at 75mph. The rearend locked up and I nearly lost control of the vehicle. I have since done some research only to find out that this is a huge issue with the 04 Nissan Titans! this could have cost me or another innocent person their life! now I am left to face a repair bill of $3500 for a new dana rearend, Nissan and dana Corp need to be held accountable for these cheap, unreliable rearends!!! please help!
Failure of rear end differential on 2004 Nissan Titan 4X4 SE 63,113mi. Normal driving conditions. Requires entire new rear end approximately $3,500 repair cost.
Left & right rear axle seals 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. At time of failure at 85000 miles no suspension modifications had been done to vehicle. Also, the rear differential oil will slowly leak and cause the rear differential to lose fluid and fail. Nissan refuses to replaced spacer axle (43070-7S200), bearing (40210-7S210), and seal (43252-7S200). As this seemed to be a very common problem with the Nissan Titan, Nissan should address this issue and offer a permanent fix so would not be faced with the safety issue in the future.
First time pulled a trailer and rearend burnt the gears up 12-13-04. Second time 12/12/05 pulled away from stop sign and rerend just broke if I had ben in traffic I probably would have ben hit because the truck just stoped they replaced the whole rearend but dont seem willing to show the old parts or the oil out of the thing.
