Rear axle seal failure both sides. Contaminated brakes causing failure of rear brakes. Replacement of seals and brake components necessary for repair. Accident avoided.
Driver side rear axle seal leaking oil and faulty axle bearing at 50K miles. Very common failure in early life of vehicle, many complaints. Replace seal an bearing at cost over $700. The driver side rear axle failure is most common and is not the dominant drive wheel.
2006 Nissan Titan axle seal failure. This will be the second axle seal replaced and the second time the pinion seal has been replaced on a truck with only 73000 miles. The cost is prohibitive and the failure causes grease to drip on the rear brakes.
Rear axle is leaking oil from it. Its getting the rear brakes wet, with the oil is making it harder to stop. I first noticed this the other day when I went through a red light because I could not stop. My Nissan Titan is a 2006 xe. 74500 miles. I have only towed a trailer with the truck a hand full of times and never exceeded 5000 lbs of trailer weight which includes the weight of the trailer. There is also a tow package installed in the truck. I am currently looking in to parts and prices of repairing this leak. If this could cause brakes to fail how come this isn't a recall" and if it does become a recall will they also cover any paint damage that may occur from the oils on the tail gate"
1. noticed "4 wheel low" indicator light was on even though never engaged, ABS indicator light on and a loud "clunk" emanating from the rear axle. Truck began to pull to one side. 2. rear axle gears destroyed, rear ebrake "shoes" and all associated parts destroyed. 3. dealer wanting to replace entire braking assembly, rear axle assembly at customer expense. Customer is below the man. Warranty dictated miles/months. Dealer does not want to cover it under the manufacturers warranty and a platinum warranty from "the mechanic" aka "the warranty group".

Right rear brake full of oil from defective axel seal.

2006 Nissan Titan rear axle seal leaking. The oil change guy said it was leaking on my rear brakes yesterday.googled it and found lots and lots of others said theirs went out as early as 22,000 miles.
06 Nissan Titan 4X4 rear end failure. There was a clicking from the driver side rear on my way home from a vacation, a few miles down the road I stopped at a stoplight. When I began to accelerate there was a pop and I lost all power to the rear end. My axle somehow snapped almost dislodging it from the vehicle and now the dealership tells me I need to pay for an entire new rear end. This truck was never abused and saw mild offroad usage. I am very concerned as I could have lost my rear wheel while traveling down the highway at high speeds. This is not the only incident of Nissan Titan owners that I have heard. I believe it is becoming a serious issue.
I have a 2006 Nissan Titan with 69K miles on it. The rear axel seals are leaking fluid which could cause the rear end to lock up during commute and cause and accident. It is leaking onto the brakes also.
On Saturday Aug. 7 I noticed a puddle of what appeared to be oil at the right rear of my 2006 Nissan Titan.the entire wheel was covered in oil, after inspecting, I found I had a leak from the seal on the axle. While trying to find out how and why, I found out that this is a common problem with Nissan. Why is there not a recall. This could be an expensive repair to any owner. Nissan needs to stand behind their product.
I placed my truck on a lift to inspect the underbody and change my oil. During the process, I saw liquid streaks down the inside of my left rear wheel hub and rotor. I had determined the rear axle seal was the leaking culprit, enabling axle fluid to drain onto the wheel hub and brake assembly. Although brake performance was noticeably degraded, the situation could have become far worse. The Nissan dealership replaced the seal assembly, but I am not confident this will correct the issue. Numerous incidents similar to this nature have been reported on Nissan Titan auto clubs, such as www.titantalk.com/forums. the dealership already had a technical service bulletin (with a third revision date over 3 years being out in service) - this tells me that Nissan knows there is a problem with the axle, but will not recall the vehicles and fix them properly.
Passenger rear axle seal leaking. No towing, no hard use. Axle oil leaks on brake and could possibly cause fire or loss of brakes. Stock vehicle, no modifications. Second time this seal has failed.
I own a 2006 Nissan Titan which has had two rear axle seals leak. Both were fixed under warranty by my local Nissan dealer. My understanding is that this is a common problem with Nissan Titans and poses a safety issue since the leaks allow rear differential oil to leak on the rear brakes.
