2004 Nissan Titan Suspension

NISSAN TITAN REAR END FAILURE. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING BADLY. AXLE ASSEMBLY REPLACED DUE TO WHINE NOISE AND LEAK. *TR

OWN 2004 NISSAN TITAN SE KING CAB 4X4 PICK UP TRUCK. NOW HAVE 75,000 MILES AND THE REAR AXLE SEALS LEAK, NOT SURE HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON BUT THE INSIDE OF THE REAR DISC BRAKE SHIELDS OUR COVERED WITH THE REAR AXLE OIL. TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

RT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING, DEALER CALLED BACK AND STATED THE THERE WAS METAL IN THE REAR END LUBE AND THE ENTIRE REAR END WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

ONCE THE VEHICLE HITS 60 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 4 OCCASIONS. MANUFACTURER STATED TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER.*AK

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF OUR 2004 NISSAN TITAN ON 8/31/04, THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS BEEN OUT OF ALIGNMENT. VEHICLE WOULD IMMEDIATELY VEER TO THE RIGHT WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS RELEASED. AFTER FOUR ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE THE ALIGNMENT PROBLEM,THE NISSAN DISTRICT TECHNICAL SPECIALIST (DTS) REMOVED THE VEHICLE FROM AN AS MANUFACTURED CONFIGURATION BY GRINDING DOWN THE RIGHT CASTER ECCERTIC ADJUSTMENT BOLTS.THIS MODIFICATION WAS A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT TO NEAR SPECIFICATIONS WHILE NEGATING THE NEED AND COST INVOLVED TO IDENTIFY AND REPAIR THE ACTUAL PROBLEM PROHIBITING THE FRONT SUSPENSION FROM BEING ALIGNED PROPERLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE ORIGINAL AS MANUFACTURED CONFIGURATION. SUBSEQUENT TO THIS MODIFICATION, THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS STILL NOT WITHIN THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AND SHAKES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH. THE DEALER HAS TRIED, WITHOUT SUCCESS, TO ELIMINATE THE VIBRATION WITH WHEEL AND TIRE REPLACEMENTS. THIS SHORT CUT TYPE FIX DONE BY THE NISSAN DTS HAS AFFECTED THE INTEGRITY OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION, PUT THE VEHICLE IN AN UNSTABLE DRIVING CONDITION AND CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE ROAD.*AK

VEHICLE VIBRATES AT PARTICULAR SPEEDS. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED TIRES, REPLACED RIMS AND TIRES, VEHICLE CONTINUES TO VIBRATE AT VERY NOTICEABLE LEVELS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS CALLED NISSAN TECH LINE, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM TO DATE. *AK
