My rear axle seals are leaking and have been for some time. I had them replaced and need them replaced again. They leak all over my rear brakes and I am concerned that this could lead to a potential dangerous situation.

There is an ongoing failure of rear axle seals and bearings in our 2007 nissan titan. This results in the slip and brake light burning continuously as well as the rear axle leaking oil. We have had this replaced twice under warranty but it keeps happening. They were changed at 34,712 and 58,205 miles respectively. The lights are on and they are leaking again at 75,209 miles. There is a nissan technical bulletin on this problem with 2004-2007 titans. We contacted nissan and they will not cover a problem out of warranty though it is a manufacturers defect. It appears to us they put cheap repairs in while under warranty and now that the warranty has expired they want their customers to have to pay to fix their design flaw correctly. We have called nissan corporate about this problem and were given a case number and they were going to investigate and let us know if they could help. After several weeks we were told nissan would not help us resolve the problem. The leaking oil presents a danger when it gets on the brakes and makes it unsafe as well as they possibility of parts failure in the rear end. I have been on many titan forums on the internet and this is a very big problem. We are also sending this information to the attorney general of the state of west virginia.
Noticed black grease/oil on right rear rim. Dealer diagnosed as right rear axel seal leaking. Dealer replaced right rear axle shaft, bearing and seal, covered under power train warranty. 2007 titan se 4x4 with off road package. 29,500 miles.
Right rear axle seal leaking onto rear brakes in 2007 nissan titan causing poor braking.
With the service brake applied, the transmission is shifted into neutral and the parking brake is fully applied. When the service brake is released, the vehicle rolls backward when parked on a slope, even with the parking brake fully applied.
The rear axle seals leaked all over my rear brakes on my truck. Rear axle seals, bearings all had to be replaced.
2007 nissan titan driver side rear axle seal leaking. Took to dealership and stated it will be fixed under warranty. Seems to be a common problem for both sides in the vehicle along with rear differential failure.
Had informed nissan two months after purchase at 1700 miles, of loud "clunk" noise in rear axle when traveling over bumps or potholes as well as tightness and noise from the steering column. Nissan stated nothing was wrong with the rear but replaced a defective rack and pinion assembly. During a routine oil change at 34000 miles the differential was found to be leaking from both rear axle seals and the pinion seal. Nissan dealership verified the problem on 6/11/10, replaced both rear axle shaft assemblies, and replaced the pinion seal.
I recently had my valve body replaced in my trans, I was driving to san diego on the 5 southbound and when I was merging on to the freeway from an on ramp and as I applied the gas pedal the truck did not move. I looked under at the drive shaft, while in gear the truck's drive shaft was spinning and making a screeching noise.
Right rear axel seal leaking, fluid level really low, if went unnoticed could have caused rear to lock up and cause crash.
Right rear axle seal failure. Second failure within a 90 day period. Seal replaced by dealer again. These seal failures pose a very real safety hazard if the lubricant reaches the brakes. They will fail!
Right rear axle seal failure. Dealer replaced the axle seal. Right rear axle seal failed again 1/18/2010. Dealer replaced the axle seal again. These failures pose a quite real safety hazard as if the lubricant leaks into the brakes they would fail!
Rear axle seal leaks 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.
Power train went needed to be replaced. Only 27,000 miles on car. Seals needed to be replaced after new power trained installed.

I have had both rear axle seals replaced on my nissan titan, they almost didn't cover the driver side because I was 300 miles over my warranty. I just felt since this has happened to both sides, what will keep it from happening again? I want to make sure nissan recognizes this problem and it is in need of a recall to fix it. The worse part is that it leaks axles grease onto the rear brakes causing them not to work.
I noticed a popping in the rear end everytime I changed gears. I took it to my dealer and they ordered me a new rear end, and replaced it.
One rear axle already leaked and we had to repair it. Now the other rear seal is leaking and we have to replace it. Also the shocks are bad.
2007 nissan titan le, complete rear end failure in the middle of an intersection with an 18' bass boat in tow. I had to be drug about 100 yards to a safe area to get the truck and boat disconnected, ruined a new set of rear tires as the rear end was locked up. Truck currently in shop for new rear end/ hopefully root cause of failure. Luckily no one was hurt.
1. Clunking noise on slight takeoff in drive or reverse, driveline vibration at highway speeds, excessive slop or play in the drivetrain. 2. If the diff had failed completely, could seize locking the rear wheels, could cause you to lose power to drive wheels while merging 3. Entire rear axle assembly and driveshaft replaced.
Vehicle bought brand new and after 3500 miles continual clicking noise from drivetrain, took to dealer and had for 2 weeks and got it back and started doing it again within a day. Took back in and dealer said it was the rear differential and replaced entire rear axle at 9230 miles.
No events leading up to failure, was driving down the road heard a pop, when making a hard left turn. Went to the shop, turned in again, hard right, loud pop come from rear end. Put truck on lift in shop, drained diff fluid, gear pieces came out. Advised dealer in the morning, was told not to bring it in, they would check with nissan to see if it would be replaced under goodwill. Was denied on 11/16/2007.
Had to have a new rear axle put in my 07 nissan titan with only 4,500 miles on it. Truck would click and pop when I would take off in forward or reverse.
