Truck started not engaging in reverse at around 50,100 miles. Took my truck to larry h miller nissan where i paid 157.00 to have them tell me that my transmission was over full.

At 27,000 miles the clutch started slipping. The vehicle was in motion on i-5 freeway. The problem caused me to pull over and get off the road as the vehicle could not go at the speed of the traffic creating danger. The next day i took it to a repair shop where the clutch and the flywheel were replaced.

I started my drive home and after 50 miles i could smell…

Both rear axles are leaking at 60,265 miles. I was told this could lead to brake pad contamination which would reduce braking capability as well as the effectiveness o the parking brake.

The vent for the rear differential clogged and a back up of pressure pushed the seals on the axle causing extensive damage to the axle and brakes. I do not drive off road or submerge the drive train.

About 18 months & 14k miles the clutch started slipping when going…
