Was driving down the road at 50mph went to slow down and there where no brakes so finally I pulled I've and looked around and oil was dripping out of the axle housing almost a bad situation. Come to find out on the Nissan Titan talk forum there are many many more of these like mine this should defiantly be a recalled item very dangerous.

Yet another Titan with leaking rear seals. If it leaks enough the brakes get covered in diff fluid and the rear end blow up.

My passenger side rear axle seal is leaking. From what I have read, this is an extremely big problem on Nissan Titan's. the leak is affecting the following parts: - passenger side rear brake components - passenger side rear tire (sidewall) - entire rear axle assembly.

problem #20

Nov 012011

Titan 4WD 8-cyl

  • 66,000 miles
Rear axle seal leaked on drivers side at 66,000 miles. Gear oil all over brakes which is a major safety concern. No modifications - truck is full stock. Nissan dealer database reveals this issue happened also at 29,000 miles and entire rfd was replaced under warranty for previous owner. Now happens again at 66,000 miles. I am told there is a tsb for this issue, but since vehicle is out of warranty(6,000 miles ago) that this is my problem. Dealer told me that this problem could very well have been going on without my notice for longer than 6,000 miles. A little research reveals this to be a very common problem with these trucks. Nissan needs to acknowledge that they have a faulty design in the rfd, and they need to step up and issue a recall for this issue due to it being a major safety concern!

I noticed a whining nose from 45 to 70 mph. It got real loud ad 60-65 mph. My Titan is regularly serviced with differential fluid changes, and all maintenance. The truck has 112,000 miles on it. I was just told that they need to replace the rear differential on the truck, at a cost of $2448 plus tax on a vehicle that is very well maintained and taken care of. No excuse for it, and ridiculous.

Titan 8-cyl

  • 85,000 miles
While driving on flat road under normal road conditions I heard a loud thump from the rear of the truck followed by a several more intermittent thumps. The truck still drove, but with the thumping. Upon inspection I discovered that the cross shaft for the spider gear slipped out and got in between the pinion and ring gear causing it to bind. It broke several teeth off of the ring gear, damaged the cross shaft and marred the pinion gear.

At around 60,000 miles both my rear seals and pinion seal blew due to a bad air valve or inferer seals, causeing the rear brakes to prematurly fail, due to the oil that had been spilling on to them, this should not have accured on a vehicle with minamal miles and no towing or hauling...

I recently had my valve body replaced in my trans, I was driving to san diego on the 5 southbound and when I was merging on to the freeway from an on ramp and as I applied the gas pedal the truck did not move. I looked under at the drive shaft, while in gear the truck's drive shaft was spinning and making a screeching noise.

Right rear axle seal failure. Second failure within a 90 day period. Seal replaced by dealer again. These seal failures pose a very real safety hazard if the lubricant reaches the brakes. They will fail!
