You should report it to the NHSTA.

But I think I've driven mine hard enough to compensate for the extra mileage...

... and what exactly do you mean by, "went out"?...

It has already been reported.

According to service manager, pinion gears chewed up. Replaced the rear but just discovered, (5000 mi later), the breather isn't there so they have it ordered.

Same thing happened to me with the breather.

Is there a running total of diff failures, just a numerical value? How many have been reported to NHTSA? Answered my own question. Looks like 24 reported for 2004MY, 14 for 2005MY and 4 for 2006 MY. 42 total.

I think those numbers are pretty good considering there were only around 20 2-3 months ago. I think it helped that whiteLE had the patience to individually ask every one of us to file. The numbers have steadily climbed lately. Every time someone posts a failure, they are asked to file it. (Not sure if it's just white asking)

thanks Cheif for the kudos. I actually haven't had a chance send out emails to everyone that reported failures here initially but that haven't provided a NHSTA complaint number. I was hoping to do that this weekend but may not get a chance.

Did you report it to NHTSA?

JefeCinco · 04-14-2006, 05:37 PM

How many total to NHTSA so far?

If the answer is 42 just from the forum members then it seems significant to me.

Anyone been in touch with the case manager to ask about the probable course of action that will be taken?

Once upon a time I learned that in order to make any government agency act it's often necessary to stir the pot. Of course the opposit is true as well... if the pot becomes over-stirred it can be very counterproductive.

Put me on that list. Only 7500 miles on mine, 05 kc.
I knew it was just a matter of time, same as with the brake judder.
i'll be out of commision for a least a week till parts come in.

Result-- After a lengthy investigation, 150,000 Muranos recalled to have Alternator replaced with new fixed one. Reason-- Unsafe, could cause crash
Nissan started putting in New alternators at factory mid-2005,before recall, because of the ongoing investigation by NHTSA

Complaints filed to the Office of Defects Investigation--- NHTSA
Nissan Titan-- Rear Diff failures
2004-- 5
2005-- 4
2006-- 0
As you can see from the Murano reports it doesnt take alot to open up an investigation. So please report>>> http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/
42 reported here only 9 reported to NHSTA. I think 42 would open an investigation. Least we would know what is causing the problem

Well, I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO BE THE FIST, AND THAT WAS ME,
2006 CREW CAB. THEY WILL BE CHANGING MY NEXT WEEK.
