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! …
My 2007 Nissan Titan le 4x4 has experienced (3) rear axle shaft seal failures in addition to (3) front axle shaft seal failures all within about 20,000 miles of each other. The rear axle seal failures are a safety concern to me. The differential fluid leaks directly onto the rear brake rotors which causes a reduction in braking ability. It is clear after some research that this is a very common issue with multiple model year Nissan Titan trucks. Nissan should address this issue and offer a permanent solution so we would not be faced with this safety issue in the future. My first rear axle shaft seal failure occurred at 56,672 miles on 6/9/14. I had another fail at 62,930 on 11/4/14. The third on 8/23/15 at 75,000 miles. The front axle shaft seal failures occurred at 53,139 on 3/20/14, again in October 2014 (mileage not available), and then at 65,105 miles on 1/21/15. …

Driving my 2007 Nissan truck down residential road approaching a stop sign when the brake light came on. I tried to stop at the stop sign and my brake pedal went straight to the floor and grinding noise came on similar to sound of ABS brakes when activated. I had no stopping power and went through the stop sign. Luckily there was no other vehicles coming as my wife and children were with me. This is definitely a serious safety concern and near miss. I've researched this when I got home and found 1,000 of other similar cases. When will the NHTSA take action and have Nissan fix the delta stroke sensor on these vehicles before someone gets killed?
