2004 LE 4X4 OFFROAD-BIG TOW PACKAGE WITH 62,900. MILES. I WAS LEAVING MY APT. MADE A RIGHT TURN, STARTED TO INCREASE SPEED TO 25-35 MPH WHEN A CLUNK NOISE CAME FROM MY REAR END. I STOP TO CHECK IT OUT AND DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING OUT OF PLACE. STARTED BACK UP AND IT CONTINUED. SO I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER THEY LOOKED AT IT, THEY SHOW ME METAL PEACES AND HOW THE GEAR WAS SKIPPING. THERE RECOMMENDATION WAS REPLACEMENT OF THE WHOLE REAR END. I'M AN EASY DRIVER, HAVE NOT PULLED ANY LOADS WITH MY TRUCK. 60 MONTHS 60,000 MILES IS THE WARRANTY. I'M JUST OUTSIDE THAT BY CLOSE TO 3,000. I WOULD HOPE THIS HELPS, NISSAN NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS I HAVE NET WORK AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH 04-06 TATIN. *TR

I OWN A '04 NISSAN TITAN THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN DEC. '04. A REAR END HUM ALERTED ME (AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION) TO A LEAKY PASSENGER SIDE AXLE SEAL. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, THE LEFT AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING AS WELL. THE TRUCK HAS 93,500 MILES ON IT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE LEAK IS SO BAD, THAT THE ENTIRE REAR WHEEL HUB AND PORTIONS OF THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM ARE COVERED IN REAR END FLUID. I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE LOCATED THE PROBLEM BEFORE MORE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE OR AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES INVOLVING THE BRAKES HAVING A SEVERE VIBRATION PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD THEM FIXED AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT TIME AT THE DEALER, THE DEALER SAYS THE PROBLEM IS FIXED AND SHOULD NOT RETURN BUT IT DOES 6-12 MONTHS LATER. NOW THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS GOING OUT AND THE TRUCK IS ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD IT WOULD COST OVER 3000.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THE DEALER REP THAT I SPOKE TO SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL,I TOOK IT TO A REPUTABLE MECHANIC IN MY AREA TO BE TOLD IT COULD BR REPAIRED FOR AROUND 1200.00 DOLLARS. MY MECANIC DID HIS OWN RESEARCH SPEAKING TO SEVERAL AREA NISSAN DEALERS TO BE TOLD IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT COULD BE REPAIRED BUT IT WOULD MOST LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN AND THAT THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE SHOULD BE REPLACED.I DO LIKE THE TRUCK AND ALL I WANT IS TO HAVE MY REAR REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME.THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR ANY TOWING OR HAULING PURPOSES AND HAS ONLY BEEN IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN IS WAS A SEVERE SNOW. IT HAS BEEN USED FOR LIGHT FOUR WHEEL DRIVE USE. *NM

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN QUEST WHICH HAS GIVEN ME PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE NUMEROUS RECALLS AND THE CONSTANT CHANGING OF BRAKES. WE HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE BRAKES MORE THAN SIX TIMES. THE BACK BRAKES ARE CONSTANTLY GOING OUT. THEY HAVE A BURNING SMELL AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH NO ASSISTANCE. SINCE I COULD NOT GET AN ANSWER AS TO WHY MY BRAKES WERE GETTING HOT. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO AAA FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC INSPECTION. THEY STATED THAT THE MOTOR VEHICLE HAD TWO CRACKED MOTOR MOUNTS, BOTH OF LOWER CONTROL ARMS WERE DEFECTIVE, WHICH WORE OUT TWO SETS OF TIRES,AND I HAD OTHER REPAIRS THAT WERE NECESSARY TO MAKE. AAA ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THE BRAKE CALIPERS, WHICH COULD BE THE REASON THAT I WAS HAVING TO CHANGE MY BRAKES EVERY SIX MONTHS. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY DID NOT TRY TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. I ALSO CONTACTED NISSAN WHO HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE. I'M STILL TRYING TO REACH THEM. *NM
