Upon pulling out into traffic from a gas station the rear differential or my 05 Nissan Titan failed. I was able to drive directly to the dealership being careful not to accelerate to fast. The spider gear failed and the entire rear axle was replaced in week.

I was driving down the road, when the rear-end, locked up, and there was a loud bang followed by a violent jerking motion. All I could hear was metal on metal grinding and my transmission grinding to a halt. Since the rear end has failed, the transmission has a shuddering to it between 30-35 mph and the steering has been off in the truck as well. It is hard to maintain control sometimes, and the dealer does not want to help fix the problem. The dealer has replaced the rear-end, but the shuddering and steering problems are still prevalent, and the answers I seem to be getting from the dealer is that it is my fault, my problem, and that I am looking for things for them to fix!!!!

Was sitting on a slight uphill waiting to make a left turn into a driveway. Had 2 motorcycles in the back. Hit the gas, heard a loud clunk that shook the whole truck. Pulled into parking lot and discovered it was the diff. After that I drove it to the dealership. Anytime I turned or accelerated the diff would go clunk clunk clunk. Dealer paid up to $35 for a rental car but because I had the dirt bikes I had to pay $10/day out of pocket to rent another truck. Repairs not completed yet.

Started noticing a whining from the rear end, soon my "slip and ABS" lights were lighting on the dash. Dealer told me it was only a sensor and replaced my complete rear end (for a sensor?).

I have a 2005 Nissan Titan 4X4 that seems to be bugged by parts failures (gremlins as the dealer likes tp call them). The first problem (brakes) happened at about 2 weeks old or 1000 miles. The dealer immediately fixed the problem(so they said). About 1 month later the same problem occurred. Again the dealer fixed it. At about 5 months old (8000 miles) the rear end seems to fall apart. When I brought it to the dealer they said it is a common problem. That when they fix it, they will put the upgraded rear end in, which took about 2 weeks to have done. At about 7 months old (14000 miles) while on vacation in Florida, the steering column decided to fall apart, causing me to loose steering and almost crash. Now I had to bring it to a new dealer down in Florida (who did not want to take the truck in for repair, but after a long conversation with Nissan of North America took it in, for 3 weeks to fix the problem). Now after 10 months (16000 miles) of owning the truck, the rear end has broken again. It is at the dealer once again, where I was told the parts are (vor ordered) back ordered with no date of arrival. I love this truck but just don't know what to do anymore.

Rear differential failure (2005 Nissan Titan, 12,800 miles) - there were very few signs leading up to the failure of the read differential. I noticed some loud thuds coming from the drivetrain as I accelerated. Then within about 0.5 miles of driving, the thuds were louder and much more frequent, and the truck was noticeably struggling to move. I immediately parked it and had it towed to the dealership. They are replacing the rear axle assembly (the damage is in the rear differential, but apparently Nissan just replaces the entire rear axle assembly). The axle assembly is back ordered for 2 weeks.

- Farmington, MN, USA

Pulled up to stop sign with no previous indication of problem. When I proceeded to turn left, the rear differential started making loud clunking noises and slipped in and out of engagement. I was able to put truck in 4 wheel drive to get it to dealership. The problem has not yet been corrected as Nissan states I need a new rear differential and they are on national back order. They can give me no estimate as to when I will get my vehicle back.

2005 Nissan Titan. Pulling onto a highway on ramp from a stop the rear differential broke. Truck was still drivable, but by no means safe to drive. Was able to drive to dealership and drop off.

1. was turning out of parking lot and in the middle of the turn I heard a clank, then loss of power. I regained power momentarily, but was not sure what exactly had happened. I then drove home, about 1/2 a mile, and called the dealership. The dealership then asked me to take my truck to them, about 4-5 miles away. The dealership recognized that something was wrong, but soonest available time to look at it was after the weekend. I left the truck at the dealership because I did not feel comfortable driving it the way it was then. 2. the failure ended up being the rear differential and since there has been a national back-order it has left me without transportation until the dealership could receive the parts and install them. I would not be able to get to the store to buy food. 3. the dealership ordered replacement parts for what was broken and they paid for myself to have a rental car while I wait for the parts to come in and get put in.

- Montegut, LA, USA

Rear differential failure during normal driving. Vehicle had 9,000 miles. Upon taking a right turn a loud clank was heard by myself and passengers from the rear of the vehicle. On my way home I realized that one tire was not maintaining traction even through slow turns, and the clanking recurred every so often. Took vehicle to the dealer the next day and he agreed that rear differential would be replaced. They did an excellent job of replacing the unit in 8 days, however it was a major inconvenience to be without the car for that period.
