On saturday aug. 7 I noticed a puddle of what appeared to be oil at the right rear of my 2006 nissan titan.the entire wheel was covered in oil,after inspecting, I found I had a leak from the seal on the axle. While trying to find out how and why, I found out that this is a common problem with nissan . Why is there not a recall. This could be an expensive repair to any owner. Nissan needs to stand behind their product.
06 nissan titan 4x4 se w/ off road package. The left rear axle seal failed at 65,000 miles. The dealer replaced the left seal and axel.
2006 nissan titan le 4x4, rear axle seals failing causing oil to leak on rear disk brakes. Seems to be pretty common on titans.
I have noticed my rear axle seals leaking for a while and was told by the dealership that it was not an issue. I have now recently noticed when I use my emergency brake and rear brakes they have been affected by the leaking fluid. I was wondering if this is an issue they should address, or is it just regular maintenance. I have been reading forum complaints about people with the same truck and they have also experienced this problem low in mile. My truck is a 2006 nissan titan se crew cab 4wd. I have noticed the seals leaking since about 40k miles and now have around 56k.
I placed my truck on a lift to inspect the underbody and change my oil. During the process, I saw liquid streaks down the inside of my left rear wheel hub and rotor. I had determined the rear axle seal was the leaking culprit, enabling axle fluid to drain onto the wheel hub and brake assembly. Although brake performance was noticeably degraded, the situation could have become far worse. The nissan dealership replaced the seal assembly, but I am not confident this will correct the issue. Numerous incidents similar to this nature have been reported on nissan titan auto clubs, such as www.titantalk.com/forums. The dealership already had a technical service bulletin (with a third revision date over 3 years being out in service) - this tells me that nissan knows there is a problem with the axle, but will not recall the vehicles and fix them properly.
2006 nissan titan rear axle seals leaking for the 3rd time, rear axle replaced once.
Passenger rear axle seal leaking. No towing, no hard use. Axle oil leaks on brake and could possibly cause fire or loss of brakes. Stock vehicle, no modifications. Second time this seal has failed.
At 55000 miles the rear axle seal on my 2006 nissan titan began to leak causing rear brake failure. New axle seals fixed the problem.
Rear end failure. Leaking out of both ends of the axle, causing fluid to get onto the rear brake discs causing a safety hazard.
I own a 2006 nissan titan which has had two rear axle seals leak. Both were fixed under warranty by my local nissan dealer. My understanding is that this is a common problem with nissan titans and poses a safety issue since the leaks allow rear differential oil to leak on the rear brakes.
Rear axle seal failure. Oil from the leak spilled onto brakes causing right rear brake failure.
The transmission cannot be downshifted. I was towing a large boat and limited to 10mph speed and was unable to downshift the engine.
I have a 2006 nissan titan pickup that has had the rear axle seals replaced two times and had it in for a third time and was told it was residual oil from the previous repair and nsent on my awy wewll it was leaking again and now has to go back for a fourth time in about 3000 miles. The truck has only 28000 miles on it. This leak has the potential to get gear oil all over the rear disc brakes causing poor braking, also if the rear end siezed up from lack of oil it could cause you to go out of control.
2006 nissan titan rear axel seals leak gear oil into rear brake system.
2006 nissan titan. Normal driving, the rear wheel seal on the right side is leaking fluid again at 122k miles. This will be the second time that it has to be replaced.
The engine accelerates on its own after lifting the accelerator for one to five seconds. This occurs regularly and has caused two vehicle to object accidents. This occurs in traffic, slow speeds, high speeds, forward, reverse, and is easily recreated. Dealer tech could not find anything wrong that would cause this issue.
I had an accident in my 2006 nissan titan in july 08. I was pulling into a parking spot when the engine roared the truck quickly moved forward and I was unable to stop the truck. The only thing that stopped the truck was a cement spindle fence. I destroyed 10 feet of fence and my insurance had to pay for the damages. I took the truck to nissan and they checked it, but they stated they were unable to duplicate the problem, they then performed the 30000 mile maintenance for approx $600. The nissan service person told me that I must have pushed the gas and the brake at the same time to cause the accident. I then took the truck to an open field and pushed the brake and the gas pedal at the same time and the tires just spun and the truck did not move. I tried the same thing in an empty parking lot, the tires spun and the truck did not move. I ended up getting rid of the truck because I was afraid if the truck sped forward on its own again and I could not stop it I might get hurt or killed. I believe that there is some type of defect that caused the engine to roar and cause the truck to speed forward. I filed a police/accident report with the local police.
I have a 2006 nissan titan and just before 60,000 miles the rear end failed. I was on the highway doing about 65mph. The rear started to make noise so I pulled off the road to take a look. When I looked under the truck there was differential fluid all over the rear of the truck and under. So I called a tow truck. When the tow truck arrived I pull my truck up to the flat bed, when the tow truck driver went to pull my nissan up on the flat bed the rear end was locked up, I had it in neutral at the time. I started my truck and put it in drive and there was a loud noise, I looked under the truck to notice my drive shaft had fallen off and was on the ground. This was very upsetting, I just kept thinking what if I had the music on or something and didn't hear the noise when I did. If this had happened at highway speeds I could have been killed. A locked up rear end or a drive shaft falling off at high speeds is a very serious safety issue. I have done some research on this matter and found that this is not an isolated incident. There are quite a bit of people having this same issue. I love my truck and have taken very good care of it, did all my required services. When this happened I still fell under the 60,000mile powertrain warranty, I had about 56k at the time, and they replaced the entire rear end assembly. I would assume that nissan is aware of this issue, due to the number of complaints that I have found, and should do something about it before someone is killed.
Yoke seal leaking in rear differential
While performing a tire rotation, it was noticed that the passenger side rear axle seal was leaking.
2006 nissan titan le rear end started making roaring noise, took it to dealer. Turned rotors,(85% on them) continued to make noise. Drove it for several weeks , it got louder. Took it back to dealer, service advisor stated gears, and bearings defected, replaced rear end under warranty.
Rear differential failure. Can cause vehicle to loose traction. Did not in my case. Gears were replaced under warranty at about 30k miles.
The ipdm relay in my truck is messed up, it began with having a transmission issue that caused my truck to basically not be able to gain any speed on the highway. I took the truck to the dealership, they said it was the ipdm issue and they would try to fix it. Other titan owners have had their trucks shut completely off while running down the highway because of the failure of the ipdm, nissan knows of the issue has no parts to fix the issue, and will not help us out.
Rear axle seal failed leaking oil on the brakes.
Rear axle seals leaking onto brake pads.
Right rear axle seal on 2006 nissan titan.
There was not a crash, but there was a problem that could have LED to one. The rear axle seals leak on almost all nissan titan pickup trucks. I've had mine replaced 3 times in 75,000 miles. When this happens, oil from the axle covers the rear brake rotors, affecting braking ability.
2006 nissan titan rear axle seal leaked and need replacement after 60k mile. I know of 4 other titian owners that had the same problem. Nissan should have a recall to fix this problem based on how widespread the axle seal leak is.
Routine inspection of rear axle revealed axle seal leak on passenger side. Left rear axle seal blew out and leaked differential fluid. Differential fluid leaking on rear brake rotors which could cause brake failure, which was a major safety concern to me. At time of failure at 53675 miles no suspension modifications had been done to vehicle. Also, the rear differential oil will slowly leak and cause the rear differential to lose fluid and fail. Nissan replaced spacer axle (43070-7s200), bearing (40210-7s210), and seal (43252-7s200). As this seemed to be a very common problem with the nissan titan, nissan should address this issue and offer a permanent fix so weould not be faced with the safety issue in the future.
