Consumer Description

NISSAN'S REAR AXLE DESIGN FOR THE FRONTIER IS FAULTY, UTILIZING A BLEEDER VALVE THAT CLOGS CAUSING SEALS TO FAIL. FAILED SEALS CAUSE DIFFERENTIAL OIL TO LEAK LEADING TO AXLE WEAR, AMONG OTHER ISSUES. OIL LEAK ALSO SPREADS ALL OVER BREAKS LEADING TO POSSIBLE BREAK FAILURE. MY AXLES WERE REPLACED IN 2012 (ALONG WITH BREAKS DUE TO OIL DAMAGE), NOW I'M BEING TOLD (2015) THAT AXLES NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I BELIEVE NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THIS PART FAILURE GENERATES REVENUE, AS THE WORK IS COSTLY, AND LEADS TO THE NEED FOR BREAK REPLACEMENT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.
