Consumer Description

BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS FAILED DUE TO A FAULTY REAR AXLE HOUSING BREATHER VALVE. GEAR OIL BEGAN LEAKING ON TO REAR BRAKE PADS CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO, SEALS AND BEARINGS COULD NOT BE REPLACED INDEPENDENTLY. A $15 PART FAILURE (BREATHER VALVE) CAUSED BOTH REAR AXLES TO BE REPLACED IN EXCESS OF $1000. NISSAN WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY CONSIDERATION OF GOOD WILL HELP UNLESS I PAID A DIAGNOSTIC FEE AT LOCAL DEALER. THIS CAME WITH NO GUARANTEE OF HELP.
