At just over 60,000 miles, the rear differential failed!!! I have never hauled anything over 1100 lbs. I 'd purchased the truck new in 2005 and also have the tow package. I don't drive off road. My warranty was up @ 36,000 miles. The rear differential failed and the rpms went into the "red" when I had pulled away from a stop sign. I was going only 15mph. Then the truck free spun and grabbed at a higher RPM damaging the rear differential. As I drove down the street, knocking sounds occurred. The truck will be towed on Monday to a mechanic to be repaired. This should not have happened and I could have been in a major wreck if there had not have been a shoulder to coast onto!
The right rear axle seal is leaking really bad to where its going down the back of the brake rotor and dripping on the rim. It has cause my brake, slip light to come one. From what I have been reading online this is happening to a lot of Titan owners. I M afraid that it will get onto my brakes and cause them not to work. I have 76K miles on my truck and had to pay to have it fixed.
Bought used 2005 Titan from car lot with 58K miles. Drove less than 2K miles and both seal are leaking and it is going to cost a fortune to repair. This should not happen at this mileage.
Axle seals are leaking causing grease to cover the rear brake assembly resulting in a safety concern due to reduced brake power. Brakes are warping again! manufacturer has issued a tsb but a recall should be directed.

I observed a leaking rear seal on the driver's side of my trucks rear axle. The vehicle is currently at the dealer getting a new differential. The service technician stated it was differential fluid. The differential gets too hot and the pressure of the heated liquid forces the seal at the end of the axle to fail. The service technician stated that a new differential had been designed to fix this problem and would be installed on my truck when the new parts arrived. This slick fluid could have impacted braking on this truck due to the rear disc brake rotors being exposed. I caught the leak early and no fluid had contacted the rotors.
At 39,000 miles rear end seal and bearing were replaced for the second time. The first time was 11/06 at 18,000 miles. The parts were replaced under warranty. The warranty expires @ 60,000 miles. At that time I will be responsible for the $350 repair.
Rear axle seals have failed on my 2005 Nissan Titan. The first time at 41,000 miles (August 07). Dealer replaced seals under warranty. They failed again in May 2008 at 56,000 miles. This time the leak soaked the parking break shoes with oil. I was warned by the dealer that the parking break may be ineffective while I waited for parts to be ordered. Luckily the leak was caught before the rear disc brake pads were soaked. Dealer replaced bearings, axle spacer, snap ring, breather, parking brake shoes, and a gasket under warranty.
I bought a car on 08/06/2005 the sales person told me that it was a purchase and he ask me to sign the blank forms and they were supposed to fill them up and send them to my home address when I received the papers I never checked the information. I have been paying till now but now I tried to talk to the sales person to check my car he told me that I had to pay because I had a lease that was why I called to the Nissan motor acceptance corporation and they did not have any information about me they only had information about santos romero. That is why I want to cancel this lease agreement because I didn't want to lease a car I wanted buy a car and they lied me.
