On a recall for a faulty ECM (engine control module). The vehicle stalled and would not start again, had it towed to dealer. Nissan covered this ECM. During the repair the mechanic noted that the rear axle seals were leaking and recommended that they be repaired as soon as possible. The cost to repair was estimated at $750.00. While web surfing for the repair process for the seals I ran across many complaints concerning this problem with the nissan titan including models from 2004 to present (2012). Based on the feedback from other titan owners, this is a common flaw with the vehicle and a costly one at that. Also this is the first time I have ever witnessed rear axle seals failing in a vehicle. Most seem to last the life time of the vehicle. I believe this is a manufacture's responsiblity due to a defective parts creating an unsafe and useless means of transportation.

I own a 4x4 loaded 2006 titan le which is my primary family vehicle. Around 80k, ECM module went out causing car to stall out and lose all power in the middle of traffic (with my kids). Lucky not to be nailed by an on-coming car, I had the car towed to the dealership and module was replaced due to recall. One week later while vacationing in the mountains the battery randomly fried, we replaced it. However immediately following, the anti-theft alarm would randomly sound off, the dvd player wouldn't work (hasn't worked since), the sunroof was malfunctioning and wouldn't open and close properly. Once we returned, the dealership couldn't find anything wrong (except the dvd player, which no one could explain). About two weeks later the check engine light came on and we found that the first catalytic converter on the passenger side had blown..followed not long after by cracked exhaust manifolds and the drivers side catalytic converter bad..dealership wants $3000 just for the catalytic converters!!! I should not be responsible for the cost of replacement! This clearly is a manufacturers defect and not a isolated case, nissan must do something about this! I hear rumors of a class action...it is a huge safety hazard!! I'm hoping they do the right thing and just fix it, without having to get lawyers involved.
