Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB TRUCK. I HAD HEARD A CLICKING WHILE TURNING A WEEK PRIOR BUT DID NOT HERE IT AGAIN. A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN ALMOST HOME I TURNED THE CORNER AND HEARD A LOUD CLANKING SOUND IN THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. AS I GOT RIGHT AT MY STREET THE BACK END STARTED TO FREEZE UP AS THE TIRES STARTED TO LOCK UP I PARKED THE TRUCK ON SIDE OF ROAD. TRIED TO MOVE IT AFTER I LOOK UNDER THE TRUCK BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHERE I FOUND OUT THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ON IT AT A COST OF $4000.00!!!! I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN IS TELLING ME THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. I JUST THANK GOD THAT I WAS NEXT TO MY HOUSE AS I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL / GOT HURT / OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE IF IT LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I CURRENTLY AWAITING IT TO BE FIXED. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO? *TR
