2004 Nissan Titan complaints

SEVERE SHUDDER IN FRONT BREAKS DUE TO WARPED FRONT DISKS. HAPPENED AT 5-7K MILES AFTER EACH REPLACEMENT OF ROTORS OR TURNING OF ROTORS.

CONTINUED WARPING OF FACTORY FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. ROTORS WERE REPLACED ONCE AND RESURFACED TWICE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 10,000 MILES. NISSAN HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM YET.

NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEGED THAT THE BRAKES ON NISSAN TITAN ARE INADEQUATE. THIS CAUSES THE ROTORS TO WARP UNDER EVEN THE LIGHTEST USE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE DEMAND FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS IS VERY HIGH, THEREFORE THE REMEDY IS TO GO THE DEALERSHIP, HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED TWICE BEFORE THEY WILL ORDER PARTS. I ASKED TO ORDER THE PARTS RIGHT AWAY WITHOUT TURNING THE ROTORS FIRST AND THEY DECLINED. MEANTIME, I AM DRIVING A BRAND NEW TRUCK WITH 6000 MILES ON IT WITH WARPED ROTORS. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I AM IN IMMINENT DANGER HOWEVER THIS IS A BRAKING PROBLEM WHICH IN MY OPINION IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE.

BRAKES ON THE 2004 NISSAN TRUCK ARE FAULTY. OVERHEATING ROTORS ARE CAUSING THE FRONT END TO SHAKE. STOPPING DISTANCE IS DRAMATICALLY INCREASED.

BRAKE PEOBLEMS WITH OUR 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WE HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AND ON ONE OCCATION WE HAD AN ACCEDENT AND WE BELIEVE IF THE BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY IT WOULD HAVE AVOIDED DAMAGE TO OUR TRUCK.I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THE BRAKE PROBLEM AND THEY STATED THAT I TOOK TO LONG TO REPORT THE PROBLEM TO THEM AND COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

BRAKES ON MY 004 NISSAN TITAN STARTED FAILING A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND GOT IT REPAIRED AND A FEW MONTHS AFTER IT STARTED TO HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM, SHAKING BADLY WHEN YOU TRY TO STOP. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER GOT IT FIX AND IT STARTING TO SHOW THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN ONLY A FEW WEEKS AFTER I TOOK IT BACK THE 2ND TIME.THE THING THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE RIGHT TO ME IS THAT AT THEIR GARAGE REPAIR SCHEDULING IS ALL ABOUT BRAKES . I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THIS KIND OF VEHICLE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES, AND THE BRAKE PULSE. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURED THREE MONTHS AGO AT 7000 MILES. THEN AGAIN AT 10000MILE. BOTH TIMES THE NISSAN DEALER TURNED THE ROTORS. MAY 27, 2005. NISSAN TITAN 2004 SE CREW CAB

THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS BEGAN WARPING AT AROUND 10,000 MILES ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN.WAS TOLD THAT DEALER WOULD ONLY REPAIR BRAKES UP TO 12,000 MILES.NOW THAT I AM REPLACING THEM MYSELF!!!! NISSAN IS CHARGING ALMOST 100.00 FOR THE PADS......HUMMMMM!!!

DT: NISSAN 2004 TITAN PICKUP AND FRONT BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE BRAKES ARE VIBRATING WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP DESCRIBE IT AS WARPED ROTORS ON BOTH FRONT BRAKES. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL NISSAN CAME OUT WITH A PERMANENT FIX. AS YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT HAD THE TEMPORARY FIX DONE, STILL WAITING ON NISSAN FOR THE RECALL NOTICE. THE NISSAN DEALER SAID THAT NISSAN IS WORKING ON A PERMANENT FIX. *TT *EH CONSUMER STATES THAT WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED STEERING IS HARD TO CONTROL.*SB

HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, WHEN CONTROL STALK IS TOUCHED TO DIM LIGHTS, OR USE THE TURN SIGNAL. HAS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES.

DT: VIBRATIONS IN FRONT END DUE TO BAD ROTORS. TOOK TO DEALER AND HE SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO CUT THE ROTORS AND REPLACE PADS BECAUSE OF OVERHEATING PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS. MANUFACTURER SAID THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, WAITING TO GET NEW ROTORS SO THEY CAN REPLACED. MANUFACTURER WILL EXTEND WARRANTY FOR 3 YEARS. *NM

DT: CONTACT STATES CONSUMER HAS TWO NISSAN VEHICLES AND THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON ONE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE OTHER VEHICLE IS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT'S THE ROTORS. THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITHIN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. *AK

AT 13,000 MILES, MY TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALER 3 TIMES FOR BRAKE ROTER PROBLEMS. THE ROTORS WARP AND CAUSE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKING. THE TRUCK WILL ALSO PULL TO THE LEFT WHEN BRAKING. THIS SEEMS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IT IS VERY DISSAPOINTING THAT NISSAN HASN'T FIXED THIS PROBLEM.

THE FRONT BRAKES ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AT 8100 MILES IN JAN '05. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ONLY RESURFACED THE ROTORS AND PUT ON NEW PADS. AGAIN IN APR '05 IT STARTED SHAKING CAUSING ME TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE NEW BRAKES FROM NISSAN SINCE THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT ALLOWING DEALERS TO STOCK THE PARTS. THEY HAD TO ORDER THEM BY VIN. NEARLY TWO WEEKS LATER MY PARTS ARE NOT IN AND I AM FORCED TO PUT THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD EVERY DAY CARYYING MY 22 MONTH OLD TWINS. THE DEALER AND NISSAN DON'T SEEM TO BE CONCERNED LIKE IT'S NO BIG DEAL. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING GETS DONE WITH THIS?

BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED TURNED AT 4.000 MILES AND BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR..DRIVERS WINDOW NOT ALWAYS WORKING..ANTIFREEZE SMELL AFTER DRIVING

WHILE BACKING MY BOAT INTO ITS PARKING SPOT I PUT MY VEHICLE IN "PARK", LEFT THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN, LEFT ENGINE RUNNING AND EXITED VEHICLE TO UNHITCH MY BOAT TRAILER FROM MY TRUCK TRAILER HITCH. I WAS AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TURNING THE TRAILER JACK. I WAS BEHIND THE TRUCK FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 SECONDS WHEN I HEARD A CLICK, AND MY VEHICLE STARTED MOVING BACKWARDS. I REALIZED WHAT WAS HAPPENING--THE GEAR SHIFTED FROM PARK TO REVERSE. I ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE DRIVER'S SIDE,AND OPENED DOOR TO HIT THE BRAKE. WHILE ENTERING THE DRIVER'S SIDE I WAS HOLDING ONTO THE DOOR AS LEVERAGE ATTEMPTING TO APPLY MY RIGHT FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE REVERSE MOVEMENT CAUSED THE DOOR TO COME IN CONTACT WITH A TREE. THE TREE PULLED THE DOOR FORWARD AS THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING BACKWARDS. THE DOOR'S CONTACT WITH THE TREE CAUSED THE DOOR TO PULL ME OUT AND THREW ME TO THE GROUND, CAUSING INJURY TO MY LEFT ARM AND LEG. I GOT UP AND RAN AND JUMPED INTO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. SUPPOSEDLY BEING INVESTIGATED BY NISSAN TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE.*AK

WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED VEHICLE DID NOT STOP PROPERLY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT ROTORS WERE WARPED, AND UNDERSIZED, MAKING IT HARD TO HANDLE VEHICLE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. *AK CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY CONFIRMED THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH UNDERSIZED ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. THEY WOULD NOT REPLACED UNDERSIZED ROTOR OF PADS. THEY WOULD/AND DID TURN THE ORIGINAL ROTORS AND REPLACED PADS WITH IDENTICAL UNDERSIZED PADS. WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC BRAKES BECAME LESS AND LESS AFFECTIVE POSSIBLE FROM OVER HEATING. *BF

LIKE MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS I AM HAVING CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT BRAKES GETTING SOFT AND VIBRATING. NISSAN KEEPS SAYING THAT THEY HAVE A SOLUTION COMING, BUT THEY KEEP PUSHING THE DATE BACK. THE LAST TWO TIMES I'VE BEEN IN WITH THIS ISSUE, THEIR INTERIM FIX HASN'T HELPED FOR MORE THAN A DAY. BRAKES ARE SOMETHING THAT BOTH YOU AND NISSAN SHOULD NOT BE SCREWING AROUND ON. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED MONTHS AGO.

FRONT ROTORS WARPING WHICH CAUSES POOR DRIVABILITY AND DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS. NISSAN HAS ISSUED A TSB AND VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER THIS TSB AT 4000 MILES, PROBLEM RECURRED AT 7500 MILES. NISSAN SERVICE STATES THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WILL AGAIN SERVICE AT NO COST. I AM UNAWARE AT THIS TIME IF THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. *NM

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2004, TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE SLIGHTLY WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT AROUND 7000 MILES. HAD BRAKES/ROTORS REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 11000 MILES WHEN THE SHAKING MADE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM NOW AT 17000 MILES AND THE TRUCK IS DOING THE SAME THING. STARTS OFF AS A SLIGHT SHUTTER, AND PROGRESSES TO THE POINT WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL PRACTICALLY SHAKES OUT OF DRIVER'S HANDS. *AK

BRAKES FAILED AT 2600 MILES WHILE DRIVING AT 75 MPH. BRAKES WOULD FAIL AT ANY TIME. BRAKES HAS BEEN CHANGED FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE BRAKES WERE WEARING OUT.*AK

20'04 NISSAN TITAN ON SECOND REPAIR FOR WARPED BRAKE ROTORS. FIRST REPAIR AT 5000 MILES, AND SECOND REPAIR AT 7500 MILES. *AK

THE SPRAY-IN TRUCK BED LINER HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO DISCOLOR. IT WAS ORIGINALLY BLACK, BUT HAS BEGUN TO TURN WHITE IN LESS THAT 3 MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. DEALER SAID THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. NISSAN GAVE ME THE SAME RESPONSE.*AK

TRUCK VIBRATES VERY ROUGHLY AND BRAKES PUSH DOWN LOW TO THE FLOOR WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. BRAKES WERE FIRST SERVICED AT 4,503 MILES ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2004. AGAIN TRUCK STARTED TO VIBRATE WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, AND HAD TO BE PUSHED HARD AND LOW TO FLOOR. BRAKES WERE AGAIN SERVICED AT 8,795 MILES ON JANUARY 18, 2005. TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 12,565 MILES AND TRUCK AGAIN VIBRATES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, AND BRAKES NEED TO BE PRESSED HARD AND GO LOW TO THE FLOOR. NISSAN HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND WAITING FOR CONTACT FOR SERVICE OF TRUCK. IN ADDITION, THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN NOTED WITH NISSAN: THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS (POSSIBLE DRIVE SHAFT PROBLEM), TRUCK RUNS VERY ROUGH AND LOUD (POSSIBLE BELT TENSION PROBLEM), THE RADIO HAS BAD RECEPTION AND THE DASHBOARD RATTLES. IN ADDITION, IT WAS NOTED TO NISSAN THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR REFLECTS THE DASHBOARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN LOOKING INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR IN ORDER TO CHANGE LANES.*AK

WITH ONLY 3900 MILES ON THE TRUCK, THE ROTORS ARE STARTING TO WARP BADLY!! NATIONAL CUSTOMER. SERVICE. SAYS NO RECALL IN SIGHT, BUT LOCAL DEALER HAS PAPERWORK ON RECALL COMING OUT?????? THE BRAKES SHOULD DEFINITELY BE BETTER THAN THIS FOR A VEHICLE THAT CAN TOW 9400 LBS!! BRAKES HAVE GONE BAD, EARLY, W/OUT TOWING ANYTHING!!!!!

THE RADIO COMPONENT OF THE STEREO SYSTEM IS HORRIBLE!! HAVE HAD IT CHECKED THREE TIMES, AND ALL THEY SAY IT IS IS A LOOSE ANTENNA!!!! RECEPTION SOUNDS TERRIBLE, LIKE POCKET TRANSISTOR RADIO. CD PLAYER SOUNDS TERRIFIC! BUT, FOR $1200 UPGRADE STEREO, RADIO SHOULD SOUND GREAT. RECEPTION FADES IN AND OUT, AND SOUNDS LIKE MONO, NOT STEREO.*AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

MY NISSIAN TITAN HAS BRAKE PROBLEMS, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IT HAS SERIOUS FRONT END VIBRATION. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 5 SEPERATE OCCASIONS, NEW ROTORS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON 3 OCCASIONS. THE LAST TIME WAS ON 28 FEB. THE DEALER STATED THESE WERE NEW ROTORS AUTHORIZED BY NISSIAN AS THE FIX FOR THE BRAKE ISSUE. AFTER THE NEW ROTORS WERE INSTALLED THE VIBRATION IS NOW WORSE THAN ITS EVER BEEN. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO ANSWER ANY EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE'S PASSENGER SIDE DOOR NOT LOCKING.*MR THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO ORDERED THE PARTS AND CONTACTED THE CONSUMER WHEN THEY ARRIVED. AFTER THE PARTS WERE REPLACED THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE INCORRECT PARTS WERE ORDERED/RECEIVED AND THEY PLACED A NEW ORDER. TO DATE THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONSUMER IS SEEKING FINANCIAL COMPENSATION FOR RENTAL FEES AND CAR PAYMENTS SIN THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN HER POSSESSION. *NM IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FACTORY PUT IN POWER DOOR LOCKS ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL DOOR LOCKS. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN IN NOVEMBER, AT ABOUT 2,500 MILES I NOTICED A SLIGHT SHUDDER WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE SITUATION DETERIORATED OVER THE NEXT THOUSAND MILES OR SO UNTIL I COULD FEEL THE SHUDDER WHEN I USED MY BRAKES GOING JUST A COUPLE MILES AN HOUR. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE THE PADS AND MACHINED THE ROTORS WHICH TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT LET ME KNOW THAT THERE WAS A GOOD CHANCE THIS WOULD OCCUR AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN HAD A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT SINCE THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURENCE I WASN'T ELLIGIBLE FOR THAT REPAIR.*AK

THE CONSUMER STATED HE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE BRAKES INSPECTED AFTER DISCOVERING A BULLETIN ON THE INTERNET. TWO MONTHS LATER THE BRAKES FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STRIKE ANOTHER VEHICLE AND ROLL OVER. CONSEQUENTLY, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *JB *BF

TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE ON THE FRONT BRAKES BECAUSE OF SHUDDERING AND EXCESSIVE WEAR. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE REP THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE CAMPAIGN ON THE BRAKES BECAUSE THEY WERE UNDERSIZED FOR THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIR KIT WOULD BE ORDERED TO REPLACE THE ROTORS, CALIPERS, AND PADS. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY NISSAN OF ANY DEFECT IN THE BRAKES. IT TOOK 2 MONTHS TO GET THE PARTS IN BUT NOT THE PARTS THEY HAD DISCUSSED. THEY TURNED THE ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED REPLACED A CONTROL ARM AND REPLACED THE PADS. MAKING THE ROTOR THINNER AND REPLACING THE PADS IS NOT GOING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY INDICATED ANOTHER "REPAIR KIT" WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN APRIL OR MAY. MEANWHILE I CONTINUE TO DRIVE WITH THE BRAKES BEING ADMITTEDLY UNDERSIZED FOR THIS VEHICLE.

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE VEHICLE COMMENCED TO ROLL FORWARD. ALTHOUGH THE SHIFT INDICATOR SHOWED VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY IN NEUTRAL. CONSUMER STATED, THIS CONDITIONS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OTHER TIMES, AND THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.*AK....CONSUMER CLAIMED AFTER TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION, DEALER AVOIDED TO FIND THE CAUSE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. CONSUMER FELT IT WAS THE WORST VEHICLE HE EVER OPERATED. *AK

STEERING SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. VERY HARD TO CONTROL AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. HAD IT REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP AT 9K MILES, ITS BACK AGAIN AT 13K. I CANT BELIEVE NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THIS YET - ITS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN, AND EVEN WORSE A REAL SAFETY HAZARD FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROAD.*AK

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF OUR 2004 NISSAN TITAN ON 8/31/04, THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS BEEN OUT OF ALIGNMENT. VEHICLE WOULD IMMEDIATELY VEER TO THE RIGHT WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS RELEASED. AFTER FOUR ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE THE ALIGNMENT PROBLEM,THE NISSAN DISTRICT TECHNICAL SPECIALIST (DTS) REMOVED THE VEHICLE FROM AN AS MANUFACTURED CONFIGURATION BY GRINDING DOWN THE RIGHT CASTER ECCERTIC ADJUSTMENT BOLTS.THIS MODIFICATION WAS A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT TO NEAR SPECIFICATIONS WHILE NEGATING THE NEED AND COST INVOLVED TO IDENTIFY AND REPAIR THE ACTUAL PROBLEM PROHIBITING THE FRONT SUSPENSION FROM BEING ALIGNED PROPERLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE ORIGINAL AS MANUFACTURED CONFIGURATION. SUBSEQUENT TO THIS MODIFICATION, THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS STILL NOT WITHIN THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AND SHAKES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH. THE DEALER HAS TRIED, WITHOUT SUCCESS, TO ELIMINATE THE VIBRATION WITH WHEEL AND TIRE REPLACEMENTS. THIS SHORT CUT TYPE FIX DONE BY THE NISSAN DTS HAS AFFECTED THE INTEGRITY OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION, PUT THE VEHICLE IN AN UNSTABLE DRIVING CONDITION AND CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE ROAD.*AK

I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE IN NOVEMBER OF 2004. WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED A LITTLE OVER 4,000 MILES THE BRAKES STARTED TO SHUDDER AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE AND ALSO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND GROUND THE ROTORS AND THE PROBLEM APPEARED FIXED. AFTER ANOTHER 2,000 MILES OF DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED FURTHER AND FURTHER CLOSER TO THE FLOORBOARD TO GET BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK. THEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE ALONG WITH THE PEDAL. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AGAIN APPEARING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AFTER ABOUT 200 MILES THE BRAKES BEGAN TO FADE AGAIN. THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE PEDAL HAVE NOT STARTED TO VIBRATE YET BUT GOING WITH THE PAST HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM IT SHOULD ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME. I WANT NISSAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. THE PROBLEM COULD NOT ONLY BE A SAFETY PROBLEM DUE TO NO BRAKE PEDAL WHEN APPLIED BUT ALSO VIBRATION FROM APPLYING PEDAL. LASTLY A TRUCK WITH ONLY 6500 MILES SHOULD NOT KEEP GETTING THE ROTORS TURNED OVER AND OVER. *AK

POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK UNDER RIGHT (PASSENGER-SIDE) AXLE-TO-WHEEL AREA. ALSO, A FRONT-END ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 CREW CAB INTO THE DEALER SERVICE SHOP ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS TO TRY AND GET THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK REPAIRED/STOPPED. THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN THE THEIR SHOP THEY HAD MY TRUCK FOR OVER A MONTH WAITING ON A NEW POWER STEERING HOSE PART THAT APPARENTLY WAS IN SHORT SUPPLY. THE LEAK HAS NOW STARTED AGAIN AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN AGAIN... ADDITIONALLY, EVER SINCE THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW, I HAVE ASKED THE SHOP TO FIX THE ALIGNMENT 4 TIMES AND IT'S STILL NOT RIGHT. THE STEERING SEEMS STRAIGHT UNTIL HIGHER SPEEDS (60+ MPH) THEN I HAVE TO KEEP THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT TO KEEP THE TRUCK STRAIGHT. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 7600 MILES ON IT SO FAR. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED ONCE ALREADY. BASED ON ALL OF THE BRAKE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ, I'M SURE I WILL HAVE TO GET THEM REPAIRED AGAIN SOON. WHEN SHOULD I TRY TO USE VIRGINIA'S LEMON LAW? *AK

WITH 7000 ON THE ODOMETER THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A TERRIBLE CASE OF SQUEALING BRAKES, WHERE NISSAN REPLACED BRAKES AND ROTORS. NOW, WITH 14000 ON THE ODOMETER THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED TERRIBLE SHUDDER OF STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. DEALER HAS ORDERED NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS FOR ME, WAITING FOR THEM TO COME IN.*AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATING, STEERING WHEEL AND VEHICLE VIBRATING. THE VEHICLE ALSO PULLED TO THE LEFT WHILE BRAKING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO TURNED THE FRONT ROTORS. THE PROBLEM RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. *AK THE ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 4000 MILES DUE TO WARPING. *NM

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION NUMEROUS TIMES. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND REPLACED THEM. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED.*AK

FRONT BRAKE FAILURES, FRONT ROTORS WARPED, EFFECTING BRAKING ABILITY. THERE HAD BEEN FOUR ATTEMPTD TO FIX THE FRONT BRAKE PROBLEM BY THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO SUCCESS" NO PERMANENT FIX. NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO CORRECT THE FAULTY BRAKES.*AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE , AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED , AND REPLACED THEM. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK *TC

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A FRONT BRAKE PROBLEM. OWNER HAD THE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED AFTER 7,000 MILES. WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING. OWNER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT THE BRAKES WERE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE OF A DESIGN FLAW. *AK THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. *TC

TO WHOM IT CONCERNS, I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK THAT HAS A MAJOR FLAW IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I SERIOUSLY THINK THAT I WILL BE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. I'VE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. THEY ADMITT TO THE FAULTY BRAKES SYTEM, BUT DO NOT HAVE A PERMANENT FIX. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. PLEASE CONTACT NISSAN AND FORCE THEM TO RECALL ALL THE TITANS AND FIX THIS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM. I CAN'T BELIEVE IN THE YEAR 2005 IT IS OK TO HAVE THOUSANDS OF TRUCKS ROAMING OUR HIGHWAYS WITH FAULTY BRAKES? *AK

PREMATURE FAILURE OF FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. FRONT BRAKES SHUDDER AND VIBRATE EXTREMELY BAD WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. DEALER WILL REFINISH ROTORS AND INSTALL NEW FRONT BRAKE PADS FOR A TEMPORAIRY REPAIR. I HAVE DRIVEN 9400 MILES TOTAL ON THIS VEHICLE WITH THREE SET OF FRONT BRAKES REPLACED. HAVE NOT TOWED ANY TRAILER OR VEHICLE WITH IT TO CAUSE FAILURE. BRAKING SYSTEM IS INSUFFICIENT FOR THIS VEHICLE AND TITAN TRUCKS MUST BE RECALLED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE OWNERS OF THIS PRODUCT IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY TO IT'S OCCUPANTS. NISSAN WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM TO IT'S OWNERS AND THE NHTSA MUST STEP IN AND HAVE THEM RECALLED AT ONCE.*AK

THE BRAKES FAILED EVERY TWO WEEKS. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS SEVEN TIMES FOR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

4000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIBRATE. THE BRAKE PEDDLE ALSO PULSATES WHEN BRAKES APPLIED. *JB

SAME WARPAGE OF FRONT BRAKES. DEALER SAID ALL THEY ARE DOING IS TURNING ROTORS. IF THE SHUDDER CONTINUES, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE CALIPER BRACKET BREAKS? *JB THE CALIPER SPINS AND TEARS THE BRAKE LINE LOOSE, WOW NO BRAKES. NISSON WILL BE SUED IF THIS IS NOT FIXED QUICKLY.

EXCESSIVE SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER 3 TIMES IN 16000 MILES ROTORS WERE TURNED ONCE HAPPENED AGAIN THEN ROTORS AND BRAKES REPLACED THE 2ND TIME NOW HAD TO TURN ROTORS AGAIN. *JB SOMETHING IS WRONG BUT THEY SAY IM TOO HARD ON MY BRAKES AND I KNOW THAT'S BULLS.. *JB

BRAKE KEEP HAVING PROBLEMS, SHAKE VIOLENTLY ENOUGH TO BE ON THE EDGE OF LOOSING CONTROL IN WET CONDITIONS. *NM
