The rear axle seals on my 2007 Nissan titan continue to leak gear oil. I have replaced the seals three times including purchasing and replacing the entire axle shaft, seal and spacer assembly on the third time. These were 2 axle shaft assemblies which cost me over $1000. I have also installed a breather tube on the rear axle and insured it is allowing air to get in and vent the rear axle. It's been a few months after installation and the seals are leaking again. My rear brakes and parking brake are soaked with oil and the parking brake no longer holds the truck in place when parked on a incline/decline.

11/29/2011 66,000 mi ODI #10437657.0

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 sa

Rear axle seals leaking on 2007 Nissan titan pickup. Rear axle grease was leaking onto wheel and rear brake disk... Potentially causing a failure of the brakes to stop adequately, had I not found the leak as quickly as I did. I understand that this is a frequent failure on the Nissan titan. Here is one link to a forum that is tracking axle seal failures among its members: http://www.titantalk.com/forums/titan-engine-transmission-drivetrain/42837-rear-axle-seals-leaks-please-report.html. *tr

I drove my Nissan out of the driveway, it started slipping, grinding. The transmission fluid check light would not come on at all, ever since I had it. Turns out transmission fluid tank empty. I was on major highway, could go 40 miles an hour, jerked out of gear with traffic behind me. Had tow it to transmission shop and transmission burned out. Faulty transmission light failed to warn me of problems. Nissan owners manual does not instruct you to check transmission fluid. It directs you to dealership. Had no warning light to alert me. Could have gotten killed. *tr
