BAD service department! It was bad under the previous owner and things haven't improved. I took my Titan in for a leak in the rear dif and they wound up fixing some seal in the rear wheels instead. Had to take it back again for them to finally fix it with no apology whatsoever. This time a leaking transmission cooler hose and a quote of $349, then $180 for flushing transmission. Two problems here other than the cost. The first is that the hoses aren't bad, the truck only has 58k. If you do a little research you'll find a service bulletin on this, reference NTB05-022a . You'll also find that a simple hose clamp on each end fixes it as the clamps Nissan uses you can't tighten which is where the leaks are. Service bulletin states new clamps are needed. The one leaking clamp sits right on top by the radiator and it was so loose I could spin it around. The second issue is with the transmission flush that they recommended. Again if you do a little research Nissan put out a service bulletin, reference number NPSB/07-027, that states "damage resulting from the effects of an aftermarket system flush will not be covered by the Nissan Limited Vechicle Warranty." more to that point in bold "Nissan North America does not advocate the use of aftermarket flushing systems and strongly advises against performing these services on any Nissan or Infiniti vehicle." It states these aftermarket flush systems have become popular due to profit. Service like this and this place will close down as quickly as the last one did. If and I mean if I have to have work done by the stealership, I'll happily drive 30 miles out of my way to do it.
