Complete Rear End Failure That Nissan Is Well Aware Of - Complaint

NATIONWIDE -- I bought a 2005 used Nissan Titan 4x4,5.6 motor.le model.Before I had put 10,000 mile on it the complete rear end was trash. Estimates from dealers run around 5,000 when all is said and done. The dealer I went to could not even tell me the gear ratio of the rear end.
The body and interior are great and I enjoy driving it, but mechanically it is so inferior, that I'm afraid to drive the truck. The rearend is trash, there are some recalls [which does not include the rear end] braking problems, fan problems, and wiring problems. Of course the most expensive ones are not on the recall lists. Nissan has to be aware of these problems, I've seen too many web pages about the rear end problem alone

Your subject line indicates Nissan is "well aware" of rear-end problems, but then you state that Nissan "has to be aware" of the problems.
That's a critical difference. If you can show they are aware, through a technical service bulletin for example, your argument would be stronger.
Buying a used vehicle is a turkey shoot, and your experience shows that. You put 10,000 miles on it, but the total mileage is more important. Also, the history - what happened before you bought the vehicle?
Can you cite websites that document your issue? I found only a few 2004MY complaints, which was the first year it was produced.
