2006 Nissan Titan owner complaints

Rear axel passenger and driver leaking oil, discovered during routine differential oil change. *js

While performing a tire rotation, it was noticed that the passenger side rear axle seal was leaking. *tr

Power train:axle assembly:axle shaft:r/passenger side seal leaks onto brake rotor dust shield , potential for brake failure which could result in vehicle crash causing possible injury or fatality. *tr

Truck has right rear axle leak. Nissan dealer wants $470 for repair. *tr

Traveling 20 to 25 MPH, up a hill, in 4 wheel drive road conditions when there was a loud "bang". The rear of the vehicle immediately shifted to the right, striking a tree. Never would you expect a vehicle to brake in such a way as to throw you into oncoming traffic. I believe that this defect should be immediately investigated and a recall issued. Dealer service department determined that the front differential and transfer case had to be replaced due to catastrophic failure. The front axle had backed out resulting in fluid leaking out. I was told that this was a known defect that had been redesigned. *tr

My 2006 Nissan titan has an axel seal failure on the drivers side rear, differential fluid is leaking onto the rear brakes causing reduced braking and also the potential for axle/differential failure. Nissan refuses to address this design flaw. They have a re-engineered replacement axle shaft and seal at a cost of about $800 per side. This should be a recall not $1600 out of my pocket to fix. Will Nissan and ntsb wait until there are fatalities before they address this common issue with the Nissan titans? *tr

2006 Nissan titan le rear end started making roaring noise, took it to dealer. Turned rotors,(85% on them) continued to make noise. Drove it for several weeks , it got louder. Took it back to dealer, service advisor stated gears, and bearings defected, replaced rear end under warranty. *tr

At 69,000 driver rear axle seal is leaking. Replace with new bearing and now at 81,000 passenger side is leaking. *tr

Rear axle seal failure destroyed parking brake shoe parking brake will not engage. *tr

Front pinion seal leaking possibly get on exhaust and cause a fire and destroy electrical wiring. *tr

Rear differential failure. Can cause vehicle to loose traction. Did not in my case. Gears were replaced under warranty at about 30k miles. *tr

2006 Nissan titan 4x4, while driving on trip with young daughter heard loud bang from rear of truck. Observed road for any debris I may have hit, found nothing. Performed quick inspection on side of road & saw nothing, continued trip & noticed bad ride from suspension. Reinspected after arriving home & found that one of the leaf spring shackles had snapped in two and threw the leaf spring into the bed of the truck causing a hole in the bed. The failed shackle also caused excessive pressure to the shock absorber causing it to fail also. Replaced the shackles and shocks but still have a bad rattle coming from rear end. Aarg!!!! *tr

2006 Nissan titan le driverside leaf spring hanger cracked and broke sending leaf into bed floor, also making load on trailer shift and lost control. Trailer came unattached and flipped, total loss of trailer. *tr

I drive daily on unlit roads, and this problem frequently occurs. My 2006 Nissan titan's air conditioning/heating controls response to change is slow with headlights on (10-15 seconds to move from floor to defrost), causing a safety problem when needing to defrost at night. Nissan indicated this safety problem is the result of poor design for titans since the engineers chose to use the variable voltage from the instrument panel light rheostat to power the HVAC controls. This 15 second delay causes a safety problem since when driving at night since the driver may be unaware that the windshield is fogged until oncoming traffic comes into view. When switching between modes (in this case, heat to defrost), by the time air begins to blow over the windshield, the truck has traveled 1100 feet wit

I found my truck has 3 recalls that need to be done. But my exhaust manifold is also cracked I have heard of this bing a known problem as well. It has been cracked and leaking for a while but I haven't been driving it to much seens it's been leaking.

I was rotating my tires and noticed gear oil on the inside of my rear wheels. The gear oil has seeped out of a failed oil seal and covered my brake pads and rotor. This oil could cause decreased braking ability and increase the likelihood of a failed brake related accident. *tr
