Rear seals on my titan leaked all of the fluid out. I had filled my tires with air several days before and noticed nothing. All of the gear oil was gone.
During routine inspection, I found that the right rear axel seal was leaking so much that it had actually moistened the brake caliper and rotor. This is causing my truck to pull to the left during normal braking applications.

2004 nissan titan. The rear end is about to fail or has failed. There seems to be play in the drive line when you accelerate causing a slight bump. No thing has been done at this time.

Driving on freeway - heard moderate bang from back of truck and then howling began. Dealership diagnosed as rear differential failure and quotes $2000 to replace. Service manager showed me a pile of titan axles in one service bay awaiting pickup by nissan. He was amazed that mine lasted as long as it did (104560 miles). Even though this is a well known problem inside the nissan world, nissan is not willing to make any concessions or fixing this at a discount.
2004 nissan titan brakes not seeming to work as they should. Found rear axle seal has failed spraying differential fluid on brake rotor. Will have to have seal replaced.
Rear differential failure. Attempting to cross traffic when rear differential broke internally and had to have vehicle towed from scene (nearly hit by oncoming traffic). This is a known consumer problem, that has been seriously denied by the manufacturer. Several people have complained of having these units replaced several times!! The potential exists to have the rear wheels to become locked up in the event of a failure!!!!!! Why has no investigation been opened?? Several consumers have gone to aftermarket equipment replacement because of the high failure rate. This problem is happening in 2004-2006 model year vehicles!!!!
As I was leaving my home 8/05/2008 my 2004 nissan titan pu came to an complete stop because the rear axle locked up. Dealership stated the rear seals gave out because of corrosion near seal area. The parking brake shoes came apart on both sides and lodged in the wheels causing them to lock up.

I hear a clunk from the rear end whenever I shift from reverse to drive, kind of like if a u-joint was going out. I also hear a low pitch whine at acceleration 50-60 MPH, but don't hear it upon deceleration. I also have a rear axel leak on passenger side, and noticed that my rear diffs paint is peeling which looks to be from excessive heat.
2004 nissan titan 4wd. I have had two axle seal leaks from normal driving and occasional use on a dirt road. First one at 59,000 and the second at 66,000 miles. The first one was taken to the dealer-the second blew so badly that I had to go to a local shop to get it done at my expense.

The axle housing seals were leaking on my 2004 titan so I brought it to a nissan dealer to have them replaced. The service member informed me that replacing the seals would not correct the problem. They had already tried on numerous other trucks and the new seals continued to leak. Pence nissan replaced the entire rear end unit as they did with other trucks with the same problem. The replacement unit was not the same that came on the truck. I asked the service member why and he stated the original unit has been problematic.
Grinding noise from the rear of my 2004 nissan titan caused me to have it towed to the dealer. The dealer states that the differential is blown, and that new bearings and seals are needed to fix. The truck has only 71,000 miles, regularly serviced and has never towed a thing.
2004 titan pickup; I had front end alignment problems from the time of purchase and four alignments and three sets of tires later I finally got the alignment right with a private business. The rear axle seal began leaking I think before the warranty ran out but the dealer servicing the truck did not make me aware of the problem until the warranty expired.
