2007 Nissan Titan Complaints

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL WAS DETACHING FROM ITS AXLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME AND THE AXLE WAS TAKEN TO HILL NISSAN (6401 CYPRESS GARDENS BLVD, WINTER HAVEN, FL 33884, (866) 734-8595). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FRACTURED AXLE AND ORDERED A NEW AXLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 260,000.

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 DECID...

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!
