Rear end seals and axles leaking and corrosion on a 2005 nissan titan.
Parking brake failed to work due to rear differential oil leaking onto brake components from leaking rear axle seals. Rear axle seals were replaced; old seals are not available.
Rear went out of 2005 nissan titan. Was preceded by clunking, vibration. Right rear axle seal was replaced by dealer prior and under warranty for leaking at approx. 48k miles. Nissan will not replace the rear since it is over on the mileage by 12k miles even though it had to have work done to it while it was under warranty. Nothing has been to it, it sits.
Rear axle seal leaking and wetting of disc brake component at 58,000 miles.
1. Casual driving/limited towing 2. Electronic slip diff failure 3. Still at shop currently looking at $3,800 bill to fix.
During visit for oil change and tire rotation, a service center pointed out that the driver's side real axle shaft seal was leaking. Took it to the dealer and was informed that since the vehicle had 68,000 miles on it, the repair would not be covered by warranty. The back-side of the rotor was saturated with differential fluid. Additionally, the emergency brake shoes were completely saturated with differential fluid, reducing the ability of the parking brake to hold the vehicle. Took vehicle to service center for repair which included replacement of the axle shaft seal, axle shaft bearing, axle shaft bearing spacer, and parking brake shoe & lining. It should also be noted that the rear pinion seal failed at 16,700 miles and was replaced under warranty.

Defective axle seals.
Rear axle seals leaking on the rear brakes.
2005 nissan titan rear axle seals and differential failure. The rear differential failed on my nissan titan about 7 months ago. Now I'm having problems with the rear axle seals leaking. According to the local dealers this seams to be a common problem with all nissan titans from 2004-2007 with the seals and differentials breaking down.
I just had a major rear differential failure on my 2005 nissan titan truck, which will cost me around $3500 to repair. I've noted on several websites that there are many owners who've had similar problems. There should be a recall on this model truck and all repairs should be paid by the manufacturer!
Column shifter causes damage to wiring harness of the manual mode transmission button. When shifting vehicle into drive, column hits wiring harness, and over time causes wiring to the transmission manual mode button to break. Once this breaks, there is no means to down shift vehicle, causing a hazard especially when traveling roads where there are elevation changes. Was able to determine the cause of the manual mode button failure by researching nissan titan forums (club titan and titan talk). Upon removing steering column shroud immediately noticed chaffing of the wiring harness, and the broken wire. Contacted nissan, was given file number 6550464, nissan was not concerned with this issue due to the age (currently 4 years) of the vehicle.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan titan. The contact stated that the differential failed. There were no recalls and the manufacturer refused to assume liability for any repairs because the warranty recently expired. The vehicle has not been repaired. The current and failure mileages were less than 66,000.
Rear axel seal leaking on to the rear brakes and soaking the brake pad in oil. Also the rear differential is leaking in several spots.
While driving my 2005 nissan titan at approx. 45 miles an hour the rear differential locked up and I was fish tailing all over the road and was fortunate to have no hit someone or crashed the truck. 3rd member spit the driveline right out and now my mechanic is telling me nearly $4,000.00 to fix it. I only have 94,000 miles on it. Nissan should do something about this before someone gets killed.
Rear end started clunking on turns, and within 1 day worsened to the point it hardly drove. Never bound up completely, but had it could have been deadly. There are numerous complaints about this same issue. I have it at the shop right now and was told the rear differential and axle need to be replaced. Nissan has made changes to there rear diff to help the problem, but nothing to correct original bad parts. Please help, someone will get hurt.
1. 2005 nissan titan. 2. Rear end differential leak 3. Have taken to auto repair but no repairs have been done at this point. Too expensive.
1. There were no know events apparent before the failure. 2. Rear axle seal has failed on my 2005 nissan titan le 4x4 at 57,000 miles. Axle lube is everywhere on drivers side rim, tire and brake components. There is also noticeable blow by on the tailgate and I'm sure lube has been dissipated to vehicles that have been behind me on the highway. This will lead to a failure of brake effectiveness and vision issues with following vehicles. 3. I am in the process of getting the truck in the shop to fix the problem.
I was pulling out of my driveway and began hearing a popping noise around the rear end. The drive shaft started spinning in the rear end gears and lost all propulsion, leaving me stranded in the road.
Rear differential failure.
Took 2005 nissan titan pickup with 36,600 miles to dealer for rear axle seal leak. This is a huge problem with nissan!! This happens regularly. Dealer replaced ,bearing ,spacer, snap ring, seal under power train warranty. 5 years or 60,000 mi. This is a huge problem !! I think they should offer a long extended warranty for free to titan owners!!
Rear axle seal leak, had to replaced seal and rear brakes.
I noticed a knock when I was taking hard left turns. Tried driving it to work a few days later and on my way in to work (another left turn) I heard a loud pop almost like I hit a pot hole or something, but there was nothing on the road. That night on my way home(approx. 1 mile) took my final left turn - loud cracking noise and tires squealed-also slipped out of gear completely for a few seconds. Mechanic said the spyder gears in the rear diff. Have lost their teeth. Nissan will only sell the whole diff. Which costs $2000 plus tax and labor. Not cool. There were no accidents or property damage only because I was in my condos driveway and there were no cars in the parking lot.
2005 nissan titan se 4x4 offroad pkg, rear differential failure. Estimated $3500-$4000 for new rear end. Was told by parts department that none where in country and has been on back order for weeks and won't expect it for some time.
Rear differential failure after highway driving almost caused an accident at an exit due to unexpected lunge of vehicle after coming to a stop and continuing. Nissan claimed this was common when I took it in for repairs. The rear differential was replaced with the same type as before.
The rear differential on our 2005 titan le self-destructed last week at 98,000 miles.
I have a nissan titan kingcab 4x4 with 36,000 miles. It started making noises when I would turn a corner in town, this kept getting worse, and then started sounding like gears were "jumping" teeth, and the pickup would jerk when this happened. Three days latter it became extremely severe and would make a loud noise from the rearend, and jerk even with starting slowly from a start. I took it to the nissan dealer as it was still under warranty, and they told me that the rearend was bad and needed replaced. I was also told by the nissan dealer that 60 other nissan dealers in the us were waiting for rearends to fix this problem also. My pickup has been in the shop for 3 weeks and the dealer can't tell me when they will have a rearend to fix it.
Nissan titan 2005 se 4x4 with tow package 49,000 miles. Rear end broke taking off from stop sign. Dealer is having a hard time getting a replacement. It has been at the dealer since the 5th. Talked to nissan customer service and they don't want to help me. Truck is still under warranty.
Was hearing the rear end humming for a little while when on may 6, 2009 my 2005 nissan titan's rear differential gave out in the middle of making a left hand turn in a busy intersection. Got very close to getting hit on drivers side, drivers had to maneuver around me going at least 50 MPH. It kicked back in and was able to pull off the road. Continued to lock up on me afterwards, it is now in shop getting the rear differential replaced.
