Rear axle seals are leaking causing difficult braking, grinding noise and take off problems. Vehicle is an 2004 titan with 58500 miles. All stock, no towing. Dealer will look at it but won't warranty work.
Rear axle seal leak. 3rd failure of same seal in 6 months. Failure results in differential fluid leaking onto brakes resulting in braking limitations and failure, potential for fire. Dealer is presumably going to replace seal... Again.
Noticed reduced braking effectiveness, looked under vehicle at rear brakes, fluid has been leaking from faulty rear axle seals, causing fluid to contaminate brake parts, creating a major safety concern.
Rear axle is leaking on both rotors as of now.
Both rear axle seals are leaking on my 2004 nissan titan. The drivers side was replaced once already. When the seals leak the gear oil spreads onto the brake backing and interior of the wheel causing potential brake problems.
Rear axle seals leak causing differential fluid to seep out onto the brake rotors. Both front and rear brakes have had problems.

I have a 2004 nissan titan with a dana rear axle. I was notified by a nissan dealer that the axle seal on the drivers side was leaking and needed to be replaced. The axle fluid was draining down the rear brake which could significantly reduce braking performance and result in an unsafe driving situation.
Rear wheel seals continue to leak even after being replaced,differential and axle have too much play in the pumpkin area,causing the seals to break. The dealer had my truck for (14) days doing absolutely nothing after disassembling the differential due to a conflict between them and my extended warranty on who was going to pay for the ($3,000.00) rear. This has left me in limbo so I contacted the manufacturer to discuss the modified rear that the dealer told me that the manufacturer had to resolve the problem. I am currently waiting to hear back from the manufacturer. They know about the problem on these 2004 titans and have a modified replacement rear,then why is there not a recall?shouldn't the manufacturer be responsible and have decency to correct their problem free of charge to the consumer?
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 nissan titan. While driving 5 MPH, the contact heard a loud banging noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. He drove to his residence and the rear of the vehicle continued to make a clanking noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the rear axle and the gears inside the axle failed. The contact paid approximately $3,300 to repair the vehicle. The current and failure mileages were less than 67,400.
Rear differential failure. Rear differential needed total replacement. Dealer inspection noted that if vehicle was driven any further a total lock up or inability to be driven would occur. Appears to be a long list of rear axel/differential failures with this vehicle. Dealer noted it also appears to be a major problem that has occurred not just on high mileage vehicles. Vehicle requires total replacement of rear axel. The vehicle showed no signs of failure. The gears in the differential break apart.
Leaking rear axle seal on passenger side.
My 2004 nissan titan kc se 4x4 has had rearend problems 3 months after I purchased my truck. I have had axle seals replaced, differential issues, and now for the 3rd time, the dealership has my truck over 4th of july weekend! The spider gears literally fell apart inside my differential. My warranty has expired and I have only 85,000 miles on it! This is something that shouldn't break! I do not tow, I rarely use 4-wheel drive! I heard a thumping noise coming from my rearend, so while getting another recall issue resolved had the dealership take a look....$3,500 worth of work! Hudson nissan has been great through my ownership! They do all of my titan's maintenance, and they are the best! However, nissan needs to fix this issue....my truck is nearly paid off and to fix this is more than half what I owe left on the truck!
I have an 04 nissan titan purchased 05 with 86,000 miles on it. The rear end started jerking around and causing the vehicle to be rendered useless during transport.

I own a 2004 nissan titan le 2 wheel drive with 74,600 miles. I found that I had a left rear axle seal leaking. Took it to dealer to get it fix and was told that the right side should be replaced also but at $600.00 a crack to replace one side I could only afford to do the bad one. After researching the internet about other owners of titans having the same problems with their rear axle seals prematurely failing with low mileage I think niacin needs to look into this problem. It a sham that they charge you $500 to $600 to have these replaced when you can buy the bearings off the internet for $75.00....

I have a 2004 nissan titan le 4x4 crew cab with 77k miles and both rear outer axle seals leak profusely. This has been a known problem with numerous titan owners and I feel that it needs to be reported to the federal safety agency.

I own a 2004 nissan titan and in october of 2008 I was told that I needed to replace the rear axle seals and bearings and the front pinion seals.

Rear axel failure in nissan titan. Drivers side seal went out at 70k miles.
My 2004 nissan titan recently started leaking gear oil from both axles in the rear. Concurrently my brake pads starting absorbing the oil which in turn ruined my rotors, brake pads, and now is costing me a pretty penny to get it fixed. My mechanic said the local auto parts stores do not carry these bearings and seals and therefore must contact the original dealer to order them. After reading and following up on the additional complaints by many other titan owners, I am curious to find out what steps in nissan taking to recall these bad seals and bearings? Why should us the owners have to fix costly repairs when nissan knows their production efforts were not properly tested before fielding the dealerships? Please inform me how to get it fixed free of cost to me.
