I had a 2005 nissan titan truck. The real axle seal broke and the oil came into the rear brake when I was on interstate highway from fl back to va. I had to drive so slow to make it back home and had it replace for $500. Few weeks later now I have a front drive axle seal broke and oil is leaking. I am bringing to dealer and replace today.
2005 Nissan Titan transmission complaints

2005 nissan titan se 4x4 - requires an entire rear end replacement. No known events leading up to the failure; rear differential was making major banging and grinding noises. Mechanic found it to be full of metal chunks and shards due to a gear failure. This then LED to a chain reaction damaging the majority of the rear axle components. Truck has not been repaired yet, but nissan tells me that it will require a whole new rear end costing almost $4000. I can ask that the service dept. To hold on to the old parts once the repairs are performed.
Continuing problems with 2005 nissan titan. Current issue is failing rear axle. I have complained numerous times about this problem I.e. Whinning, clunk but have been told that this is normal as vehicle ages. Indicated to local dealer problems reported with failing axles, and axle seals and axle breather problems. They indicated they were unaware of very many such problems. Noise and clunk became worse and I began to investigate via web and through my organization membership (club titan) and discovered a large number of customers with similar issues. Back to local dealership who finally admitted known issues with axles. Past warranty at this point, they recommended contacting nissan north america. Called and described issues, they assigned file # and asked me to obtain additional diagnosis (which I had to again pay for) and information about any previous nissan vehicles owned. Before I was able to obtain the requested information, nissan called back and denied any assistance citing age/mileage of vehicle. I indicated that this has been an ongoing problem, not just something that has occurred after the warranty. They called back several days later and indicated that there is no record anywhere of any complaints on my part regarding the axle problem. Seems strange that other history exists (brake problems, recalls, etc.) on my vehicle, but oddly "nothing" about axle problems. We are moving soon, and I cannot afford the out of pocket repairs, but I cannot put my family at risk of serious injury or death.
Both rear axle seals leaking. Had a complete rear end replacement at 58,000 miles. Currently have 100,000 miles and both rear seals are leaking again. I towed a 2990 lbs trailer from michigan to west virginia, the morning after getting home I noticed the leaks and popping in rear end when pulling out. First time towing with this truck. Mileage is all highway. Commuted 120 miles per day to work. I have been on forums and seen countless others with same problem. Nissan is very aware of the problem and will not even make parts available. They are just replacing the entire rear ends. This is a common problem with these trucks and I would like to know why a recall has not been issued for it. Not sure what to do other than fix it one more time and then sue under lemon law when it happens again.
I have a 2005 nissan titan 4x4 with the off road package. On the 3rd of october 2010 I noticed when I took a left turn and accelerated through the turn I heard a popping sound and the rear of the truck hopped. On the 4th I took it to the nissan dealer to trouble shoot the problem. I was told the rear differential had broken teeth and it is a recurring problem. The truck only has 44,000 miles on the odometer. My factory warranty expired in june 2010. First time failure has occurred. The extended warranty company evaluated the problem and sent a used part to the repair facility to correct the problem. I am currently waiting to have it replaced and returned to me.

I have a 2005 nissan titan le crew cab 4wd pickup truck and just experienced a dangerous failure of the rear differential. After some initial thumping sounds emanating from the rear of the vehicle during turns, I was turning into a busy intersection when the entire rear end locked up momentarily. I was able to limp to an auto repair facility about a block away. After inspecting the vehicle, it was determined that the gears in the rear differential had failed (teeth broken off). Vehicle is currently being repaired at a cost of over $3,000. I will save the failed part. After research on the web, this appears to be a very common and expensive occurrence. Given the nature of the failure (rear wheel locking), I was almost rear ended by another vehicle behind me.
2005 nissan titan differential failure happened for no apparent reason just after starting out in the morning leaving the driveway. I am told by the dealer that the differential will have to be replaced. Differential was replaced 30,000 - 40,000 miles ago by a different dealer service facility when leaky seals were serviced but not for a differential problem. I am assuming that the differential ring and pinion gears, gaskets and lub will be replaced.

I was driving home from work in my 2005 nissan titan (se crew cab 4x4 off-road edition with tow package) and started hearing a loud metal on metal sound from the rear of the truck. I also could feel a large jolt when accelerating and braking. I took the vehicle to the local nissan dealership the next morning and they said I needed a new rear differential, and that I also needed to replace the seal on the front differential. They told me that it would cost $3,500 to replace the rear differential and $400 to fix the front differential. The truck has only 67,000 miles on it, and is out of warranty. I have had all the recommended services on the vehicle, and do not use the vehicle for off-roading, nor do I use the vehicle to tow. Nissan said they would only contribute a thousand dollars toward the repair. The dealership ordered the parts today. This is yet another titan to add to the rear differential problems list.

I'm the only owner of my 2005 nissan titan crew cab and I've been happy with the truck for 105,000 miles - until this past weekend when, at highway speed, I began to hear a whining noise. After stopping and verifying that nothing was visibly wrong underneath the truck body (no leaks, etc) I drove on. I stopped a few miles down the road to check again and while pulling into a parking lot heard a loud clunk. I coasted to a stop and found my drive shaft on the ground. Carriage nissan in gainesville georgia is quoting a price of several thousand dollars for repairs. I've been diligent about maintenance on this vehicle and there is no good reason why the truck's rear end should completely fail this way. Online, I've learned I'm not the only one with this issue. Any help out there available for those of us with this problem?
I am complaining about a problem that has developed in my 2005 nissan titan. Both rear axle seals are leaking, oil is getting onto the rear wheels braking system thereby posing a potentially dangerous situation for the occupants and the vehicle. This problem occurred just around 50,000 miles on my 2005 nissan titan, which is very surprising for any vehicle with this small amount of mileage. I have found on other websites that hundreds of other titan owners have had the same problem with leaking rear axle seals, with mileage as low as 8,000 miles, 25,000 miles, 40,000 miles; yet still, nissan continues to ignore this problem, as far as a recall is concerned. This problem is very costly to be corrected, ranging from $1,000 to as high as $3,000, depending on the dealer's estimation. I would strongly recommend, for the safety of persons and vehicles, that nissan be compelled to come up with a recall of these faulty axle seals on nissan titans. Thank you.
Rear axle seals on nissan titan pickup trucks leaking and require replacement of entire axle shafts.
2005 nissan titan, 52,830 miles, purchase date of 7/23/2005. One week out of the 5-yr warranty, right rear axle seal leaking differential fluid. Fluid thrown on wheel and brake rotor from tire rotation. Right rear axle seal failed. Braking felt off when driving, which LED to initial walk-around of the truck and noticed fluid on ground. Contact 3 nissan dealerships. Would not touch the truck since technically out of warranty (1 week). Contacted nissan consumer affairs. Nissan not interested in helping.
2005 nissan titan le crew cab 4x4 with a failing rear end differential. At 58k miles, the truck rear end began to slip badly. The vehicle has not been used for anything other than commuting to work. I do not off road or have off road modification that would exceed manufactures specs and performance. Just normal driving. Nissan indicates that I am 30 days past the expiration of my warranty, but under the mileage requirement. Nissan needs to held accountable for quality controls on the manufacturing of these rear end assemblies. Typically $2500.00 repair bill....that should be shouldered by nissan.
The rear axle seals are leaking on my 2005 nissan titan. The oil is running from the axle seals on to the rear brake rotors and rear brake pads. This can result in rear brake failure and can cause a crash.
Brought nissan titan to mechanic to have brakes checked. Upon replacement of brakes found that the rear seal had failed and grease had covered the right wheel well and tire rim. Seals and bearing had to be replaced.
I own a 2005 nissan titan that has had the rear end diff and axle replaced twice by nissan at 98,000 miles nissan discovered the rear seals leaking, and did nothing about it, I tried to secure a lawyer, the cost was astronomical, at 102,000 miles the valve body in the trans has failed, as a result I contacted nissan north america spoke to gordon middleton, whom on behalf of nna after a sixweek discovery advised me that nna would not be able to assist me, even after promising repairing the rear seal in earlier conversation, later refused to lift a hand, costing me six weeks of car rental cost, and the agonizing pain of waiting on a decision that would never come anyway. Please assist me in this matter my 2005 nissan titan le is still not fixed.

Right rear axle seal leaking. Replaced once at 22,000 miles and it is leaking again at 75,000 miles. 2005 nissan titan le.
Heard my brakes squeaking and started to investigate. Saw oil residue on the inside of the wheel and it was on the brakes as well. The oil was coming from the axle. The seal is bad. No accidents yet, but this could cause an accident if I needed to stop in a hurry with oil on my brakes!!!
