Left & right rear seals leaking on my king cab 05 nissan titan. I had the 60,000 mile service done in early july 2009, at the dealership. The approximate mileage on my truck at that time was around 66,000 miles. Upon completing the job, the next day, most of the transmission fluid leaked out of my truck. The dealership came to my house and repaired the leak and topped off the transmission fluid. They said that it was a failed hose clamp. They took my truck back to the dealership to look it over to confirm that everything else was ok. They also check on a fan recall that was pending. They told me that no repairs were necessary. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that transmission fluid appeared to be leaking again from the front end. I took my truck in earlier this week and the dealership replaced a leaking transmission hose at no charge. They informed me at this time that my left and right rear seals were leaking very bad. They also informed me that I have a power steering leak. I don't understand why these issues were not addressed in july when the 60,000 mile service was done unless it just recently started. They told me how much it will cost to do the repairs and advised that I take care of it asap!
2005 Nissan Titan steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I purchased a new nissan titan from alan kurth dealership minot, nd. May of 2005. Within the year I asked several times about the "strange" braking experience. I noticed some vibration from the front brakes that also vibrated the steering column. I was told that this was normal on a titan heavy duty truck . I am not a mechanic and took their word. That dealership went out of business shortly thereafter and the only other nissan dealer was in bismark, a long way from where I lived at the time. I did take it to that dealer, bismark honda-nissan-hyundai in july of 2006 in response to a recall about another issue. Nothing was mentioned by them about any problem with the brakes. The truck was not driven that much, currently has less than 30,000 miles and the vibration has become worse and worse once I brought the vehicle to florida last fall to the point that I took it to my mechanic. I was told then after they inspected the truck on april 23rd. 2009 that nissan had identified a major problem with the brakes on this model called brake judder he suggested I call nissan to see how they were managing the problem. I telephoned nissan consumer office on april 24th and spoke with andy who opened a case file and that number is 6477694. He said I would have to begin with the local dealer to have them inspect the truck so I contacted maroone nissan in ft lauderdale and took the truck in on april 27, 2009. I dealt with the assistant service manager. When they had finally finished with their inspection he told me that "nissan would not provide a courtesy repair since they had initially extended the warranty expired in 2008. I had researched the issue and found the following that nissan failed to provide. 1. The issue was sent out to all nissan service managers on march 16, 2005. The repairs were not made prior to my purchase. 2. They were directed to supply a "legible photocopy" about the warranty extension. They did not. This was detailed in nissan advisory nnawb/05-01.
