Consumer Description

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN REAR DIFF SEALS LEAK AND HAS CAUSED A BRAKE FAILURE. I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY REAR END LOCKS UP. IT TOOK A FEW MOMENTS TO GET HER GOING AGAIN IN REVERSE. I JACKED IT UP AND REMOVED THE TIRES AND REMOVED THE ROTORS. THE PAD ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM FAIL OFF. IT STILL HAD PLENTY OF PAD LEFT ON IT. MY FATHER LOOKED AT IT AND NOTICED THE FLUID LEAKING FROM MY REAR END. HE TOLD ME THAT PROBABLY CAUSED THE FAILURE DUE TO THE CONTAMINATION. REPLACED THE PAD AND ADDED SOME OILED TO THE REAR END. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND OTHER BRAKE FAILURES ALSO. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKS ALSO. I AM REPLACING IT TOO. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TITANS. THIS MAY BE OF MORE CONCERN WITH THE EPA. THEY HAVE BEEN KNOW TO CRACK. *TR
