2006 NISSAN TITAN — Complaint #900808
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SUSPENSION:REAR:AXLE:NON-POWERED AXLE ASSEMBLY filed January 19, 2012
NHTSA complaint #900808 (ODI reference 10444505) concerns a 2006 NISSAN TITAN and was filed on January 19, 2012. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 17, 2012. The vehicle had 136,285 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as suspension:rear:axle:non-powered axle assembly, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN TITAN cohort independently describe similar suspension:rear:axle:non-powered axle assembly failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2006 NISSAN TITAN shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
ON A RECALL FOR A FAULTY ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE). THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN, HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER. NISSAN COVERED THIS ECM. DURING THE REPAIR THE MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING AND RECOMMENDED THAT THEY BE REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE COST TO REPAIR WAS ESTIMATED AT $750.00. WHILE WEB SURFING FOR THE REPAIR PROCESS FOR THE SEALS I RAN ACROSS MANY COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN INCLUDING MODELS FROM 2004 TO PRESENT (2012). BASED ON THE FEEDBACK FROM OTHER TITAN OWNERS, THIS IS A COMMON FLAW WITH THE VEHICLE AND A COSTLY ONE AT THAT. ALSO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER WITNESSED REAR AXLE SEALS FAILING IN A VEHICLE. MOST SEEM TO LAST THE LIFE TIME OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURE'S RESPONSIBLITY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PARTS CREATING AN UNSAFE AND USELESS MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TT
