SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TRUCK VIN [XXX] BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR THE DEALERSHIP HAS PUT 2 MASTER CYLINDERS ON IT BUT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM THEY TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD SON WHO IS LEARNING TO DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES BUT IT DID IT TO HIM AND SCARED HIM BECAUSE HE THOUGHT HE HAD NO BRAKES. THE BRAKES ARE REAL SPONGY AND GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IF PRESSED FIRMLY. IN A HARD BRAKING SITUATION SUCH AS ON A STEEP HILL AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKES GOES TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING 2 YEARS. *JB UPDATED 07/6/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH 15,000 MILES. SOON AFTER PURCHASE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE WHEN BRAKING. NOW IT HAS PROGRESSED TO A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WHEN BRAKING, MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM PLANNING TO REPLACE THE ROTORS, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE THE BRAKING SYSTEM BECAUSE LIVES DEPEND ON AN EFFECTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM. *NM

SINCE PURCHASING MY TRUCK IN AUGUST OF 2004 I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL BRAKE RELATED ISSUES. I'VE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE SAME DEALER FOR SERVICE ON EACH FAILURE/ISSUE. THE BREAK ISSUES EXPERIENCED HAVE BEEN BRAKE LIGHTS TURNING ON, BRAKES SHUDDERING, THE TRUCK NOT BRAKING PROPERLY, BRAKES NOT WORKING UNTIL THE PEDAL WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY PRESSED. RECENTLY THE TRUCK FAILED TO STOP RESULTING IN A REAR END COLLISION. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED/RESURFACED ROTORS, BRAKE PADS AND REPLACED SENSORS DURING THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. HOWEVER, I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE ISSUE AFTER ISSUE REGARDING THE BRAKES. I HAVE HAD OTHER DEFECTS AS WELL, BUT THE BRAKE ISSUES HAVE BEEN THE PRIMARY ISSUE. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY THE DEALER. THE ROTORS WERE TURNED, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE BRAKES. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRACTION, ABS, AND DIFFERENTIAL LOCK LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE ILLUMINATION.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE
CAN NOT READ COMPUTER-GENERATED INFORMATION IN DAYLIGHT, CLOUDY OR OTHERWISE. INCLUDES GEAR INDICATOR, TOW MODE, MILEAGE, AIR CONDITIONING, ETC. HAD AN ARMY LT. COL. ON HIS KNEES TRYING TO READ THE GAUGES AS WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH LAS VEGAS, NV. PRIOR TO THIS TRIP OUT WEST, ALL OF MY DRIVING HAD BEEN LOCAL AND INFREQUENT (I USE A MORE ECONOMICAL CAR FOR IN-TOWN/LOCAL DRIVING), AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT COMPUTER GENERATED. THIS IS UNSAFE AND I DO NOT WISH TO BE KILLED TRYING TO SEE THE DASH INSTRUMENTS. I HAVE DRIVEN WITH THE RHEOSTAT TURNED ALL THE WAY UP, WITH NO EFFECT/BENEFIT. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK TO TOW MY TRAILER AND TRAVEL. I AM UNSAFE DURING DAYLIGHT AND TOWING A TRAILER AT NIGHT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE NOR PRACTICAL. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER (NISSAN) WHO DIRECTED ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER (JENKINS IN LAKELAND, FL). WHILE THE HEAD OF SERVICE (MR. DUNKIN) AGREED HE COULD NOT READ THE INFORMATION ON A CLOUDY DAY, HIS ONLY ADVICE WAS TO TURN THE RHEOSTAT ALL THE WAY UP, WHICH WAS ALREADY DONE. HE SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE. DID NOT GIVE ME ANY PAPERWORK TO PROVE I WAS THERE. CONDITION IS ON-GOING AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. A PERSON COULD EASILY TAKE FULL ATTENTION OFF OF DRIVING TO TRY TO READ THE GAUGES. THIS COULD AND WOULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THE NUMBER OF FAILURES IS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IN DAYLIGHT. *JB
