## Narrative
Purchased a used 2004 Nissan titan truck with lower miles. Rear axel exploded and burst into flames when driving down the freeway. (Bowling Green, Kentucky) We managed to pull off to the side of the freeway without hitting anyone. Fire dept was able to put the flames out. Didn't find any recalls about the Truck when we bought it. Now I have seen reports on line  that this has happened to other consumers. Something needs to be done to warn consumers. We could have died. We could of hit others and killed them as well.  Dealership  has  completed  repairs  and  seen  the  defect. We have the  damaged  part.  There were  no  prior  warnings. Vehicle was  inspected before the  road trip  to insure  it was  safe.
