The rear differential and axle has an inevitable failure with no warning lights or much anything else besides some possible noises! The vent designs are terrible it causes overheating and internal turmoil over time seals start leaking, bearings and internal gears Get weak from over hot /cold repeated cycles allowing moisture to build and accumulate in the 3rd member where it’s supposed to be completely sealed and dry other then gear oil to lube and maintain proper function. My personal and current experience is I’m without my truck, missing work and very . Very thankful that it didn’t lock up on the highway/freeway that I drive too and from work about 85 miles daily! The best part is there’s no fast cost efficient resolution! the differential open carrier with spider gears held in place by a shaft pin and tiny 8 mm bolt that broke causing the pin to slide back and forth (pinball effect) into the ring /pinion, side gears, spider gears untill it either gets jammed in the gears and instantly locks up or slowly fractures away untill gears held by nothing, collide causing catastrophic failure! I Happened to notice the inside of rear wheel wet because when I was exiting the highway I heard a faint sound almost like a bolt or rock or something hit underneath the truck so I took a glance at everything and noticed that wheel grease soaked and a little fluid on the bottom of transfer case.. long story short I drove it approximately 1 mile to a shop there it still sits needing complete different axle and differential or a whole new carrier and all bearings/seals spacers possibly axle shaft don’t know yet and dealership can not get any parts for it!! The parts are obsolete! None! Don’t sell them, don’t make them….. they recommend and can only replace whole unit around 3-5k thousands of dollars I wish I had!! All of the research I’ve done tells me this is a HUGE problem! Theres hundreds of thousands of people that this has happened too! Asking why isn’t there a recall??!

The contact’s friend owns a 2007 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while driving and hauling a sailboat, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop immediately and rolled to a stop. The ABS warning light was illuminated.

MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS FAILED UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK. APPARENTLY, THIS IS NOT A NEW ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS. I WAS DRIVING 50MPH WHEN THE REAR END MADE A POP AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO DRIVE.

2007 TITAN LE 4WD, WITH 72,000 MILES. IN DEC 2018 MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR WOULD FLASH ONCE AND QUIT WHILE DRIVING BUT ISSUE IS REPLICATED DRIVING OR STATIONARY, ENGINE ON OR OFF. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND HITTING THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL TRIPPED IT OFF, AS IF I'D TAPPED THE BRAKES. A WEEK EARLIER, I STARTED HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH MY BACKUP SONAR WARNING SYSTEM THEN COMPLETE FAILURE. LATER TROUBLESHOOTING THE TURN SIGNAL ISSUE, I REALIZED WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE, THE RIGHT FRONT TURN LAMP WOULD ILLUMINATE WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. I REALIZED IF I HELD OR RODE THE BRAKE PEDAL, THEN ENGAGED THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, THE RIGHT TURN LAMPS AND INDICATOR WORKED NORMAL, UNTIL I RELEASED THE BRAKE, THEN THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL LAMPS WOULD QUIT. ALSO NOTICED THAT ALL CLEARANCE LAMPS, TAIL AND STOP LAMPS FLUCTUATED A LITTLE IN SYNC WITH THE TURN SIGNAL OPERATION. I REALIZE I'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. CHECKED WHAT I COULD AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO MY CAR REPAIR GUYS. THIS MORNING, WHEN I STARTED IT FOR THE TRIP, I HAD WARNING LIGHTS ON FOR LOW TIRE PRESSURE (FLASHING, THEN STEADY, THEN FLASHING), ABS (STEADY) AND SLP (STEADY), AND SAID IT WAS IN 4WD WHEN THE DIAL WAS IN 2WD. NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN BEFORE. AFTER 5 MILES THE 4WD INDICATOR WENT OFF AND THE 2/4WD GRAPHIC WAS BACK MY SHOP FOUND A MELTED WIRE BUNDLE ABOVE MY EXHAUST WHERE THE TAILPIPE EXITS THE MUFFLER. THEY SAY IT LOOKS LIKE A HEAT SHIELD IS EITHER MISSING OR THAT ONE SHOULD BE THERE. HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC SAYS IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS SEVERAL KEY SYSTEMS WIRES PASS IN THAT BUNDLE THAT HAS INDICATIONS OF EXCESS HEAT AND MAY HAVE PARTIALLY MELTED WHICH COULD CREATE SHORTS THAT COULD MAKE OTHER VITAL SYSTEMS FAIL, OR CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE. STILL IN THE PROCESS OF DIAGNOSING AND REPAIR.

THE REAR AXLE SEALS ON MY 2007 NISSAN TITAN CONTINUE TO LEAK GEAR OIL. I HAVE REPLACED THE SEALS THREE TIMES INCLUDING PURCHASING AND REPLACING THE ENTIRE AXLE SHAFT, SEAL AND SPACER ASSEMBLY ON THE THIRD TIME. THESE WERE 2 AXLE SHAFT ASSEMBLIES WHICH COST ME OVER $1000. I HAVE ALSO INSTALLED A BREATHER TUBE ON THE REAR AXLE AND INSURED IT IS ALLOWING AIR TO GET IN AND VENT THE REAR AXLE. IT'S BEEN A FEW MONTHS AFTER INSTALLATION AND THE SEALS ARE LEAKING AGAIN. MY REAR BRAKES AND PARKING BRAKE ARE SOAKED WITH OIL AND THE PARKING BRAKE NO LONGER HOLDS THE TRUCK IN PLACE WHEN PARKED ON A INCLINE/DECLINE.

DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS STOPPED WORKING CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN CERN WHEN NEEDING TO QUICKLY EXIT THE VEHICLE. CRUISE CONTROL BUTTONS STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. VEHICLE HAS BEEN CLIPPED AND ALSO BEEN INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION WHERE ON BOTH OCCASIONS, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. VERY CONCERNING!

THE AIR CONDITIONING ACTUATORS FOR COLD/HOT AND VENT OR DEFROST BOTH CLICK NON STOP. THIS IS A PROBLEM IN A LOT OF NISSAN VEHICLES, PER BLOGS AND YOU TUBE ETC. NOT ONLY IN THE TITAN BUT IN MANY OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND DECREASED IN SPEED. EVENTUALLY, THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY.

THE CONTACT ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM, BUT THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS EXCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,264.

METAL BRAKE LINE RUPTURE AND COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. THE REAR METAL BRAKE LINE CROSSOVER FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO THE DRIVER SIDE THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE REAR AXLE JUST ABOVE THE JACKPOT COVER RUPTURED. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR EACH TIME IT WAS PRESSED WITHOUT HESITATION AND HAD NO BRAKING CONTROL AT ALL. BRAKE FLUID WAS EVERYWHERE UNDER THE TRUCK, ON THE DRIVE WHEELS, AND ON THE PAVEMENT CAUSING ITS OWN HAZARDOUS CONDITION ALONG WITH NO BRAKES. FORTUNATELY THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT WHILE I TOW MY 10,000LB TRAILER DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THAT WOULD NOT HAVE ENDED PRETTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CALIPER BOLT DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE.

HAD TRANSMISSION SERVICED AND ABOUT 5000 MILES OR LESS LATER TRUCK STARTED HESITATING AND FINALLY STOPPED. INVESTIGATED AND FOUND TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ANTIFREEZE UNDER TRUCK. HAD TOWED TO NEAREST AMMCO STATION AND THEY DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS ANTIFREEZE IN TRANSMISSION SMELLED BURNED AND SAID A COMPLETE RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION WAS RECOMMENDED SINCE ALL OF THE TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS HAD BEEN EXPOSED TO THE ANTI-FREEZE AND WERE BURNED OR OVERHEATED. TALKED WITH NISSAN OF GASTONIA NC. AND THEY STATED THEY COULD INSTALL A NEW RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR AND EXTERNAL AFTER MARKET TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER FOR 5,100 DOLLARS WITH A 12 MONTH 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. THEY SAID THEY HAD A LARGE NUMBER OF FRONTIER, XTERRA, AND PATHFINDER PROBLEMS WITH THE INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COOLER INSIDE THE RADIATOR FAILING ALLOWING ANTI-FREEZE TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYING IT. THEY SAID THEY HAD NOT SEEN THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TITANS ANS ARMADAS. THEY HAD A CAMPAIGN TO HELP OWNERS OF THE OTHER MODELS BUT NOT THE TITANS OR ARMADAS. THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR NISSAN OF GASTONIA SAID THEY COULD LOOK AT MY TRUCK BUT THERE WOULD BE A DIAGNOSE FEE IF I DIDN'T LET THEM DO THE WORK. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT AMMCO SAID HE WOULD MATCH NISSAN'S OFFER AND GIVE ME A 36 MONTH UNLIMITED MILEAGE WARRANTY COVERING PARTS AND LABOR, SO I WENT WITH AMMCO. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT AMMCO STATED HE HAD NUMEROUS TITAN AND ARMADA VEHICLES COME INTO HIS SHOP AS WELL AS THE OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE INTERNAL TRANS/COOLER LETS ANTI-FREEZE LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND IT FRIES THEM. I JUST HAD MY TRANSMISSION SERVICED AND THE RADIATOR FLUSHED AND FILLED. MY 2007 TITAN ONLY HAS 65000 MILES ON IT, AND IF NISSAN KNEW THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS THEY COULD HAVE WARNED ME AND I WOULD HAVE HAD THE RADIATOR CHANGED OUT. THIS IS REALLY BAD BUSINESS IN MY OPINION.
