2005 nissan titan left rear axle seal failure. On the morning of 8-21-2007 I noticed oil inside my left rear wheel. I climbed under the truck and could see clearly where it had leaked out the end of the axle. The previous day I had been traveling back to my home from a 6 hour trip. I filled up with gas about 3 hours away from home-I did not see any oil in rear wheel (gas cap is next to wheel). Problem had to happen after fill-up-this is a major problem because I was traveling at night,70 MPH on interstate. If all fluid had of leaked out ,that could be catastrophic at that time. Also I do not think that it is safe for diff oil to be leaking on rear brake disks. I know that nissan is having problems with these seals on titan trucks and think they should be made to come up with a lasting repair before somebody gets killed or injured. My local dealer replaced the leaking seal.

Failure of differential on my 2005 nissan se crew cab p/u. The differential just failed after engaging the 4wd on the fly going about 25mph on a level service nothing out of the ordinary, it just failed. My vehicle had hardly ever been used of road and only has a 35,000 miles on it. I don't drive it hard and it is exceptionally maintained. This makes me wonder if I should have purchased a toyota tundra or a chevy silverado.

Own a 2005 nissan titan 5.6 le 4x4 offroad and tow package. On 5/29/07, I was pulling my travel trailer and made a turn, the rear end made a loud and truck shuddering thump. Afterwards, everytime I accelerated or turned, the rear end would thump and shake the entire truck. I took it to a dealer and was told the rear end needed to be replaced. This was a known issue. I was in richmond, va but live in nj, so I decided to try to get it home. Put it in 4x4 hi mode and made it. Dropped it off to nissan dealer in nj, they are replacing the rear end now, under powertrain warranty.

During the most recent oil change, I was directed by the technician to the back side of the rear wheels, both sides. From this vantage point, you can easily see that lubrication from the rear axle is leaking onto the rear brake rotor assembly via the axle end seals. I immediatley contacted nissanusa and have been attempting to get answers from them as to what, if anything they will do to rectify this condition. My extended service plan has recently expired. According to internet forums for nissan titans, there have been numerous problems with this and it appears to be a safety hazard. Nissanusa continues to give me the run around by avoiding any dialogue.

During a recent oil change, the technician pointed out the axle end seals were leaking onto the rear brake rotor assembly on my se king cab. This reduces the brake's ability to stop. I currently have 81,000 miles on this 2005 model. My extended warranty ran out at 75,000 miles just about 6 weeks ago and this problem was probably happening during the warranty but I didn't notice it as I change my own oil myself most of the time. After looking over the internet, I have found that this is a common problem among the titans. Nissan should address this problem as they did the brake problem.

We own a titan and are satisfied but had some issues as can be expected with a newly designed vehicle. Each has been taken care of under warranty from our dealer alan jay of sebring florida, a very professional operation I might add. The one most recent of concern caused brake interruption and when I inspected the brake system one of the rear brakes appeared to be leaking, which I suspected that to be the problem. The dealer determined that it was a rear axle seal and replaced both the seal and the bearing which had become damaged. After checking the internet I have found this to be a quite common problem that has been overlooked. We use this vehicle daily for business and already have 44,000 miles on it and it is not yet two years old. My concern is my warranty will run out with exceeded miles brfore the time limit and the other axle can have the same problem. Why did they only change one? I would like the other side changed as they are identical in design. Please respond to my request, this can be dangerous situation.

I started my truck, put in gear and it made a very ugly noise in the rear. I tried drive and reverse and it did the same thing in both gears. I called nissan, had them tow it and they ended up replacing the entire rear end. I only had 30k on my truck with mostly highway miles.
