My rear leaf spring shackle snapped punching a hole though the truck bed opening it up like a tuna can while I was on the highway and nearly lost control in a construction zone where there were quite a few people working on the side of the road. Did some investigating and it seems like a pretty common problem for the 04-07 titans and am wondering why I (or the thousands of others who've had the same problem) were not informed about this from the fine folks at nissan before people get killed. I would have paid to replace them myself had I just been told.....its not about the money...safety is number one in my book especially when I'm hauling around my 18 month old in something that the factory knows has a life threatening defect and doesn't tell anyone!!!!!!!! Sincerely pissed!!
This vehicle has more common failures than any I have seen. Both of the rear leaf spring shackles rotted out. The rear axle seals are now leaking. In 6 months I have replaced 2 oxygen sensors and now for the 2nd time I am replacing the evap canister control valve. Nissan seems to ignore all of these issues and has redesigned many of these problem areas in newer models however does not own up to fixing the issues on vehicles that are on the road.

I have a 2005 nissan titan se 4x4 off road edition. While going around a conner I heard a loud poping noise. I stopped the truck and looked under it. I noticed fluid coming from the right rear of the vehicle. I took it to nissan and they inspected it. They told me it was the right rear wheel bearing. I asked them to fix it. They put in a new part but that did not fix the problem. They did not charge me for that work. I then talked to the shop foreman of nissan and he told me that it was a dowl pin coming loose between the spider gears without pulling the cover off or anything. He said that the rear ends fail a dime a dozen with models 2004-2007. I asked how much it would be to fix it and I was told 3200 dollars. If nissan has know about this problem for some time I think that nissan needs to stand behind their product and actually issue a recall before someone gets hurt. I have the truck in storage right now due to the military, but I will eventually have to come out of pocket and get it repaired.

I have a 2005 nissan titan with only 44000 miles on it. During recent driving it sounded as if the right rear was grinding to pieces. It continually got worse so I looked under the truck to see if there was something that was caught and dragging. It was so loud that people would stare at the truck when it passed by. After it was taken to the garage they discovered that the insides of the right rear axle were almost completely torn apart. It was very fortunate that it did not cause a serious problem while driving. They also found that the left axle was leaking and would likely also break down. The cost to repair the truck was over $1700.00.

2005 nissan titan crew cab 4x4 with off-road package, within 10,000 miles there were loose bolts on the transfer case. At 38,500 miles the left front differential seal failed and leaked. At 39,800 miles the power steering hose went bad and leaked. At 51,000 miles the circular clip on the axle at front left differential deformed causing axle to begin to fall out of vehicle!!! Thankfully all has been covered under our extended warranty, and dealerships have replaced parts, but when it runs out these will come from our pocket, and no one can guarantee the new parts are not just replacements or any better. This could have resulted in death or injury to us or someone else had that axle fell from vehicle, and could occur again.
Leaf spring shackle broke at weld, and rear passenger leaf spring pushed through the body of my pickup bed . It wasn't that distinguishable, it sounded like a clunk in the rear and that was it.
