NISSAN NORTH AMERICA HAS INCORRECTLY DEFINED THE CONDITION "BRAKE JUDDER" AS STEERING WHEEL SHAKE, BODY VIBRATION OR BRAKE PEDAL PULSATION WHILE BRAKING (EMPHASIS MINE), ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MY PROBLEM MANIFESTED ITSELF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHILE NO BRAKING WAS BEING ACCOMPLISHED, AND WAS EXTREME AFTER THE PURCHASE OF NEW PREMIUM TIRES (TOYO OPEN COUNTRY H/T). WHILE A FIX HAS BEEN OFFERED FOR "BRAKE JUDDER" AS NISSAN DEFINES IT, I WAS TOLD AT TWO DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERS THAT IT WOULD NOT REMEDY MY PROBLEM. MY PROBLEM SURFACED BEFORE THE 36 MONTH/ UNLIMITED MILEAGE LIMITATION, BUT I DID NOT UTILIZE THE WARRANTY COVERAGE BECAUSE MY SITUATION DID NOT FIT THE DEFINITION. AN INDEPENDENT TIRE DEALER MECHANIC (WHO USED TO WORK FOR NISSAN) INDICATED THAT DEFECTIVE ROTORS WERE INDEED THE PROBLEM, AND INTERNET FORUMS AND LEMON LAW WEBSITES SUPPORTED HIS CLAIM. SINCE I HAD EXCEEDED THE 36 MONTH LIMIT BY 90 DAYS, I ELECTED TO LET THE LOCAL INDEPENDENT TIRE DEALER INSTALL THE NISSAN PARTS. HE WAS CORRECT! PROBLEM SOLVED (AT LEAST FOR NOW). I CALLED NISSANS CONSUMER AFFAIRS LINE TO COMPLAIN, AND TO LET THEM KNOW THAT I FELT THAT A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME SAFETY IMPLICATIONS INVOLVED--AND NOT THE COMPANY COST SAVING MEASURES OF A COUPLE OF TSBS AND A FEEBLY MODIFIED BASIC AUTO WARRANTY. NISSAN IS ACUTELY AWARE THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. SHE ASKED ME WHAT NISSAN NA COULD DO FOR ME? I REPLIED, "PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR THAT IT COST ME TO FIX MY TRUCK, WHICH TOTAL $747.65." SHE ASKED IF I HAD THE RECEIPTS FOR THE REPAIRS AND I ANSWERED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE. WHEN I DISCLOSED THAT AND INDEPENDENT TIRE DEALER HAD INSTALLED THE NISSAN PARTS (DONE BY A FORMER NISSAN TECHNICIAN), REIMBURSEMENT FOR PARTS AND LABOR WERE RESOLUTELY DENIED BECAUSE A NISSAN DEALER DIDN'T DO THE JOB (THE SAME FOLKS WHO TOLD ME I NO LONGER HAD WARRANTY COVERAGE, AND THAT THE FIX" WOULD NOT REMEDY MY PARTICULAR PROBLEM). *TR UPDATED 03/17/08

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH, EARLY MORNING, DRY CONDITIONS. I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL, BECAUSE I WAS HAVING SEVERE STOMACH PAIN. I LEANED MY HEAD BACK AND NEXT THING I MUST HAVE PASSED OUT. I AWOKE AFTER STRIKING A TELEPHONE POLE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. THE IMPACT WAS DEAD CENTER. THE LICENSE PLATE IS THE EXACT SHAPE OF THE POLE, INFACT THE SENSOR IS DIRECTLY BEHIND AND UNDER THE BUMPER FROM THE PLATE. THE SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK AND THE AIRBAGS NEITHER ONE DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE CRUISE WAS SET, AND THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS, SO I MUST HAVE HIT THE POLE GOING 30-35 MPH. THE POLE IS APPROXIMATELY 3' FROM ROAD. I SUFFERED CHEST AND BACK INJURIES, AND STILL RECOVERING. LUCKILY I'M STILL ALIVE! THE INTERIOR LOOKS PERFECT LIKE IT NEVER WAS WRECKED, ON THE OTHER HAND THE TRUCK WAS TOTALED. THE BUMPERS ENDS WHERE LITERALLY WRAPPED AROUND THE POLE. IT WAS A 2007 NISSAN TITAN, LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. I DO HAVE PHOTOS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN P/U IN WHICH THE DOOR HANDLE CABLES GET FROZEN IN THE WINTER MONTHS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS AS A RECALL! I CANNOT GET IN OR OUT OF MY VEHICLE EXCEPT THROUGH THE DOOR WINDOWS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS VEHICLE IN TO MY DEALERSHIP ON 2/15/08 TO GET REPAIRED, BUT THEY HAD TO ORDER OTHER PARTS THAT THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT THEY NEEDED. THEY DIDN'T ORDER THEM OVERNIGHT AND THERE WAS NO SENSE OF URGENCY ON THEIR PART TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM! IT STILL IS NOT REPAIRED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN TRYING TO STOP, AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THERE IS A VIBRATION FROM UNDER THE HOOD; CAN ALSO SMELL BRAKE FLUID IN THE CAB. TOOK THE TRUCK IN ONCE FOR THE VIBRATION RECALL AND THEY REPLACED THE CALIPERS, ROTORS AND PADS. THEN STARTED HAVING THE ABOVE PROBLEM AGAIN AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED REPROGRAMMED AND SOME SWITCHES ON THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED REPLACING ($550). HAVE HAD IT BACK 1 MONTH NOW AND DOING IT AGAIN. LUCKILY THIS TIME WAS CLOSE TO DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT IN AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING I NEED A NEW POWER BRAKE BOOSTER ($700). HAVE OWNED 5 OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES AND NEVER HAD THIS MUCH OF A PROBLEM, AND WONDER DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED FOR THESE PROBLEMS THAT WE ARE HAVING WITH THE BRAKES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
PASSENGER SIDE REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK OBSERVED ON 2/3/2008. FLUID LEAK COVERED BOTTOM PORTION OF BRAKE ROTOR. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND AXLE SEAL WAS REPLACED UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE AS DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ON BRAKES COULD IMPACT BRAKE FUNCTION AND LEAD TO FAILURE. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT EXPLAINED THAT SEVERAL OF THESE SEALS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE (BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES), BUT THEY HAVE LITTLE EXPLANATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
BOUGHT 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH 36,000 MILES. BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. TRUCK WAS MAKING A WHINING NOISE FROM THE REAR. DEALER SAID REAR END WAS BAD AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER DID NOT SAY WHAT EXACTLY WAS WRONG WITH IT OR WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. NISSAN NEEDS A HEAVIER REAR END FOR THIS TRUCK. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WON'T OPEN WHEN THE TEMP IS COLD. THE HANDLE COMES OUT BUT THE DOOR WON'T OPEN. WHEN I FINALLY DID GET IT OPEN, IT WOULDN'T CLOSE, THE LATCH WOULD NOT MOVE TO CATCH THE POST. I PUT IT IN MY GARAGE OVER NIGHT, AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE SOLVED, BUT THE NEXT TIME I LEFT IT OUT, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB AND WHEN THE TEMPS DROP BELOW FREEZING THE DOOR HANDLES OR LATCHES FREEZE UP AND YOU CAN NOT SHUT THE DOOR, YOU HAVE TO HOLD THEM CLOSED WITH YOUR HAND WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I DID LEADING UP THE THE FAILURE OTHER THAN MAYBE WASH MY TRUCK. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $500 OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT COULD END UP KILLING A CHILD. I TOOK A FRIEND OF MINES CHILD TO SCHOOL TODAY AND THE DOOR OPENED AND WHEN I CLOSED IT EVIDENTLY DID NOT LATCH BECAUSE THE CABLE WAS FROZE UP. GOOD THING THAT HE WAS IN A CAR SEAT AND BUCKLED IN CAUSE WHEN I TURNED THE CORNER THE DOOR FLEW OPEN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN AND DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
LOSS OF SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO A FAILED OR WEAKENED HOSE CLAMP. NISSAN DEALER INFORMED ME THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND A REPAIR KIT HAD BEEN DEVELOPED AS A FIX, HOWEVER NO CUSTOMER/OWNER NOTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM WAS MADE. WHY WASN'T RECALL ISSUED? WAS 60 MILES SOUTH OF ATLANTA WHEN DISCOVERED ONLY BY CHANCE DURING A WALK AROUND AFTER GETTING GAS. MIGHT JUST AS EASILY HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER WITH MY WIFE AND TWO LITTLE GIRLS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, TIRES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
PURCHASED 2005 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK ON 2/1/2005. ON 4/21/05 WITH 6,000 MILES, TRUCK SHOOK/SHIMMIED WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. UNDER WARRANTY, NISSAN DEALER REPLACED FRONT PADS AND RESURFACED THE FRONT ROTORS. ON 6/23/05 WITH 11,000 MILES, TRUCK AGAIN SHOOK/SHIMMIED WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. STILL UNDER WARRANTY, NISSAN DEALER REPLACED FRONT AND REAR PADS AND ROTORS AGAIN! ON 1/14/08, NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CRAPPY GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A (P265/70R18) TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE TRUCK (ALSO HAD 3 FLAT TIRES) EVEN THOUGH I ROTATED THEM REGULARLY (LESS THAN 40,000 MILES). TODAY, THE TIRE CENTER INDICATED I NEEDED NEW BRAKES. CALLED NISSAN DEALER AND AM AGAIN TAKING THE TRUCK INTO SERVICE TO CORRECT AND GET NEW ROTORS/PADS. BY THE WAY, THE WARRANTY ON MY TRUCK FOR THIS REPAIR RUNS OUT ON 2/1/08. GOING FORWARD, I WILL HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY. THIS STINKS! HOW COME THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL AND CORRECTIVE PROCEDURE IMPLEMENTED? $37,000 VEHICLE! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
I PURCHASED THIS 2005 NISSAN TITAN NEW. DURING A RECENT OIL CHANGE AND SERVICE AT 34,150 MILES I NOTICED FLUID LEAKING ONTO THE BOTH SIDES OF THE REAR BRAKE ROTOR ASSEMBLIES. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS BRAKE FLUID BUT UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION I DISCOVERED IT WAS GEAR LUBE FROM THE REAR AXLE. IT WAS LEAKING PAST THE SEALS AND DOWN THE BACKING PLATES AND DRIPPING ONTO THE WHEEL AND SOME OF THAT OIL BEING SLUNG ONTO THE BRAKE ROTORS THEMSELVES. I STOPPED DRIVING THE TRUCK SINCE I FELT THIS IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE AND CALLED THE DEALER. THEY ADVISED ME TO BRING TRUCK IN FOR INSPECTION WHICH I DID ON 1/3/08 AT 34,206 MILES. THEY CONFIRMED SEALS ARE LEAKING AND ORDERED PARTS. I ASKED THEM TO MAKE A NOTE ON THE SERVICE ORDER THAT I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING TRUCK UNLESS NEEDED. THEY THEN CALLED AND TOLD ME PARTS ARE IN AND TRUCK WAS BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIR ON 1/14/08 AT 34,361 MILES. THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ARE AS FOLLOWS; QTY-2 P/N:43070-7S200 AXLE SPACER, QTY-2 P/N:40210-7S210 REAR BEARING, QTY-2 P/N:43252-7S200 OIL SEAL, QTY-2 P/N:01541-0001U SNAP-RING AND QTY-1 999MP-DF100P SYNTHETIC DIFF FLUID. I AM VERY HAPPY THAT NISSAN REPAIRED AND COVERED THIS UNDER WARRANTY. BUT, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS TYPE OF FAILURE OCCURED AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. *TR
