Hi Jay, thanks so much for responding! Here is the story in more detail. I bought the truck and saw the transmission line leak as we were pulling out of the lot, the dealer told us to bring it back the next day for repair and I did so. That was in Feb 2007. Then I got the truck back and continued with no problems until about 6 months later after I had towed my toy hauler. I do have a tow package.The transmission wanted to overheat so I had to keep downshifting (only using 4th and downshifting to 3rd) to keep it from reaching H. So I returned from my trip and brought it to a friend of mine that is a transmission mechanic and asked him if he knew anything about this scenario. He checked the fluid and well low and behold, there was NONE. I brought it back to Nissan and told them that not only did they forget to fill the fluid but I towed with it and the transmission would not stay cool and etc. They refilled it and checked it (diagnostics) and said it was fine. Is that possible??? That was in July / Aug 2007. Then inXXXXXseal (drivers side) started leaking and were replaced on warranty and now since oct / nov 2009, my rear end makes a wierd noise on take off like something is hitting it or banging, could be drive, tranny, diff..I don't know but I took the chance and went out again this weekend with my toy hauler and had serious problems again with the transmission and now the service engine light is on. I have not had the chance to check the code because I only returned last night but I am really upset with the way the transmission is reacting to hauling (especially since this truck is meant to do this) and I need to know if there is someything I can do to check if my transmission is damaged and maybe this is where the sound is coming from? I am confused by the series of events but this is what is happeneing. First the transmission fluid, then the drive seals, then the loud noise (bang like) on take off, the transmission still overheats (with filled fluid) and now the service engine soon. I will take any help I could get especially what to say to the dealership since I believe it was their fault to begin with. I do have the extended warranty. Thank you so much for any assistance.

Jay, I just crossed 60,000 this past week so I would say, 60600 or so. My VIN is 1N6AA07B54N549644. Thank you so much!

Sounds good to me, I will wait for sure. I will take it to check the codes today after work and I can tell you tomorrow what they have said. In your opinion do you think this is a damaged tranny? Thank you Jay.

Hi Jay, I went yesterday to a place here that checks codes and the first thing he said to me was, "have you had a transmission problem recently". So he told me that it was reading a problem with the transmission. Certainly I am sure that this is the problem since 2007 but now I am uncertain with how I am going to properly deal with the situation. Also, I know now that the Titans have a consistent problem with the rear drive axle (as I said my seal was changed already) but now I believe the noise I am hearing (clunk like sound on takeoff) is this same problem that hundreds of other have reported. Is this possible? Do you see rear drive axle problems quite a bit? Would this be under my warranty? Oh how frustrating. Thank you very much Jay.
