SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
BAD VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING SO BAD IN FACT HAD TO LEAVE THE ROAD TO AVOID TRAFFIC. NO INJURIES TO PEOPLE, PROPERTY, OR VEHICLES. HAPPENED 2 MILES FROM HOME SO WENT HOME FIRST. A QUICK CALL TO MY ATTORNEYS OFFICE LED ME TO THE NHTS.DOT.GOV SITE. I WAS SHOCKED OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS I READ ABOUT ON THESE TRUCKS AND STILL NO RECALL? THAT'S JUST IRRESPONSIBLE! PRINTED OUT A BUNCH ON COMPLAINTS AND HEADED INTO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. WENT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER INTRODUCED MYSELF AND ASKED HIM IF THEY HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN TITANS BRAKES THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY. SO I HANDED HIM THE COMPLAINTS FROM THIS SITE AND ASKED IF HE COULD EXPLAIN IT TO ME. WITHIN MINUTES THEY ROAD TESTED MY TRUCK AND SAID YES THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WOULD FIX MY TRUCK RIGHT AWAY AND NISSAN WAS GIVING THE BRAKES ON THESE TRUCKS WARRANTIES FOR 10 YEAR OR 100,000 MILES. THEY CALLED ME A RENTAL CAR, PAID FOR IT, AND SAID THEY COULD FINISH THE WORK TODAY. WORK ORDER REPLACED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. PADS AND TORQUE MEMBERS REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACED REAR ROTORS PARTS: 2 40206-ZC00A ROTOR DISC BRAKE 1 41060-ZC027 PAD KIT - DISC 1 44060-ZC025 PAD KIT - DISC BR 4 41005-7S000 BOLT TOOK THEM A FEW HOURS TO FINISH THE REPAIRS I WAS OPTIMISTIC TO SEE THEY GOT RIGHT AFTER THE PROBLEM HOPEFULLY THAT FIXES IT. I WOULD STILL LIKE TO HAVE THAT 10Y/100K BRAKE WARRANTY IN WRITING. WE WILL SEE IF THIS IS JUST A WORK AROUND OR A FIX TIME WILL TELL. I'LL POST MORE INFO AS I RECEIVE IT. B

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN KC 4X4 WITH THE OFF ROAD PACKAGE AND CAME TO A STOP BEHIND A VEHICLE THAT WAS PACKED IN THE LANE THAT I WAS DRIVING IN. WHEN IT WAS SAFE TO MOVE INTO THE LEFT LANE I ACCELERATED AND HEARD LARGE CLANKING NOISES AND FELT MY TRUCK JERKED AS IF I WAS BEING REAR ENDED REPEATEDLY. TO MY SURPRISE I WAS NOT BEING REAR ENDED. MY DIFFERENTIAL WAS LOCKING; MY WHEELS WILL ROTATE AND THEN STOP ROTATING. THE SITUATION GOT WORSE WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE EITHER A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. RECENTLY, THE BRAKES FAILED ON THE VEHICLE AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I WAS CALLED TWO DAYS LATER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO FOR ME BECAUSE THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE COMPUTER DID NOT RECORD ANY FAULT CODES. I'VE ASKED THEM TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THEY REFUSE TO DO IT. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT ITS MY RESPONSIBILITY AND THAT IF THE BRAKES FAIL AGAIN, TO BRING IT BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I'VE CALLED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND THEY ARE NOT OFFERING ANY HELP, THEY STAND BEHIND WHAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME. IN MY OPINION, NOBODY SHOULD GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS VEHICLE. IT NOW SEEMS LIKE I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. *JB

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO HONORED THE WARRANTY AND PERFORMED THE REPAIRS.
