NISSAN TITAN PURCHASED JAN 04, IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES NOW TO FIX THE FRONT BRAKES. AFTER ABOUT 7-9K MILES A SEVERE VIBRATION OCCURS FROM THE FRONT BRAKES MAINLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IN MY OPINION PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AS THE WHOLE TRUCK VIBRATES VIOLENTLY. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DT: WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE OWNER NOTICED A SHAKING FEELING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED FOR A STOP LIGHT. THERE WAS EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE PROBLEM BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR SERVICE IN JUNE, AND THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE FIRST BRAKE REPAIR WAS AT 20,000 MILES AND COST $1,000.00. TWO MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIRS DEALERSHIP ACTED AS IF THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. SHAKING AT STOP LIGHTS OCCURRED AGAIN. . OWNER CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED. THE OWNER ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER WHAT THE COMPANY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE OWNER WILL REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS IF IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. HE WILL CONTACT THE NATIONAL NUMBER FOR NISSAN TODAY. THE VEHICLE WAS REGULARLY SERVICED WITH RECORDS AVAILABLE. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
APPROXIMATELY FOUR MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN I GRADUALLY BEGAN EXPERIENCING A 'SHUDDER WHILE BRAKING' PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM QUICKLY ESCALATED AND BECAME GREATER AND GREATER. ON MARCH 30TH, 2005, I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO PASSPORT NISSAN OF MARLOW HEIGHTS, MARYLAND FOR REPAIRS. AT THIS POINT I LEARNED THROUGH THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE PERMANENT REPAIR KIT FOR THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF SERVICE FOR ONE DAY AND THEY RETURNED MY TRUCK INDICATING THAT THEY RESURFACED THE ROTORS AND REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS. THIS PROCEDURE WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM. APPROXIMATELY 4,000 MILES LATER THE 'SHUDDER W/BRAKING' PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED. JUST AS BEFORE THE PROBLEM ESCALATED AND BECAME GREATER AND GREATER. ON JULY 07TH, 2005, I RETURNED MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME REPAIR. ON JULY 12TH, 2005, I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND DISCOVERED THAT NO REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. THE SERVICE MANAGER INDICATED TO ME THAT PARTS WERE ON ORDER. AS OF THE DATE OF THIS REPORT, THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST AND NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A CORRECTIVE REPAIR KIT FOR THIS DEFECT. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO INDICATED THAT NISSAN OF AMERICA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON A SOLUTION. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT AND THERE PROBABLY SHOULD BE ONE. THE BRAKES ON MY TRUCK ARE TERRIBLE AND AT TIME APPEAR INEFFECTIVE, ESPECIALLY IN WET WEATHER. IN MY OPINION NISSAN HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM APPROPRIATELY. I AM AWARE OF OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NONE OF THEM HAVE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION ABOUT THIS DEFECT OR ANYTHING THAT NISSAN IS DOING TO RECTIFY THE DEFECT. *NM

I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK IN TWICE NOW FOR THE BRAKES AND THE CARPET BEING SOAKING WET FROM THE TRUCK LEAKING SOMEWHEREAND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT NOT TURNING OFF. THEY RESURFACED MY BRAKES AND SAID THE LEAK WAS FROM THE A/C. THEY ALSO TOLD US ABOUT THE BRAKE PROBLEM WITH THE 2004 TITANS AND THAT THEY WOULD PUT US ON A WAITING LIST FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. WE ARE NOW TAKING IT IN AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE FLOOR IS SOAKING WET AND WE HAVE NOT RAN THE A/C. THE BRAKES ARE SHAKING VIOLENTLY AGAIN, AND NOT TO MENTION THE NEW PROBLEM OF THE CARGO LIGHT TURNING ON BY ITSELF WHEN IT IS PARKED. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 8300 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND I ONLY DRIVE 5 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK. THESE ARE MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT ARE OCCURING IN SUCH SHORT TIME OF HAVING THE TRUCK.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
I PURCHASED A 2005 TITAN 4 DOOR 2 MONTHS AGO. AT APPROX. 3000 MILES IT BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT ANY SPEED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, WHO AFFIRMED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE, AND THAT I COULD BRING IT IN FOR A TEMPORARY FIX. THEY EXCLAMED THAT THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THEIR CLAIM, AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BY THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY CONCERNING THIS MATTER.

DT: CONTACT STATES SHE LEASED A VEHICLE FROM LIA NISSAN WITH 17 MILES ON IT IN 9-04. SHE HEARD A SQUEAKING NOISE IN THE BRAKES. ALSO , THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. SHE TOOK VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN 1-05. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER AROUND APRIL OR MAY SHE NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, AND SHE WOULD HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET THEM TO STOP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED SHE WAS TRAVELING. SHE HAS NEVER HAD ANY WARNING LIGHTS TO COME ON. HER HUSBAND TOLD HER THAT THE SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE THE ROTORS ON THE BRAKES WERE BAD. SHE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN , AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKES, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT AND THEY WOULD MILL THE BRAKES DOWN UNTIL THE PARTS CAME IN, TO HELP ELIMINATE THE SHAKING. SHE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL LETTERS. A RECALL NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE. IN LATE MAY HER HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE BRAKES MILLED DOWN AGAIN. THEY PUT THEM ON A WAITING LIST FOR WHEN THE PARTS DO COME IN. TODAY (7-15-05) WHEN SHE WENT IN, SHE WAS #18 ON THE WAITING LIST; WHERE IN MAY SHE WAS #10 ON THE WAITING LIST. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT RELINQUISH ANY KIND OF RECEIPTS OR DOCUMENTATION OF THE VEHICLE EVER BEING THERE. *AK

AT 6000 MILES, THE FRONT BRAKES VIBRATED AND PULLED TO THE RIGHT ON APPLICATION. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN AT 11,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 15,000 MILES. ON ALL OCCASIONS THE DEALER RESURFACED THE ROTORS. NISSAN ADVISES THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE ROTORS ARE TOO SMALL BUT DOESN'T CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE SO THEY ARE ONLY REPAIRING THE TRUCKS AS PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
DT: CONSUMER STATES THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CASING ON HIS 2004 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCK ARE BAD. AFTER TALKING TO SEVERAL PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET THE CONSUMER SAYS THAT WHEN HAULING OVER 100LB. THIS CAUSES THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO OVERHEAT LEADING TO LUBRICANT LEAKAGE AND OUTER CORROSION OF THE DIFFERENTIAL COVER. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CONSUMERS TO COMPLAIN THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEIZES AND CATCHES ON FIRE. HE SAYS THIS WAS DOCUMENTED IN A MAGAZINE NOT LONG AFTER THE TRUCK WAS TESTED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DIFFERENTIAL IS ACTUALLY STARTING TO RUST AND THE LUBRICANT IS STARTING TO LEAK OUT. THE DEALER REFUSES TO DEAL WITH HIM. THE MANUFACTURER SAYS THEY WILL NOT DEAL WITH HIM UNTIL THE DEALER DOES. *JB

PURCHASED A NEW 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4-DOOR PICK-UP TRUCK IN FEBRUARY 2005. BOTH THE MANUFACTURER AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP KNEW OF AN EXISTING SAFETY PROBLEM REGARDING THE BRAKING SYSTEM OF BOTH 2004 AND 2005 TITAN PICK-UP TRUCK MODELS, BUT FAILED TO ALERT MYSELF OF THE PROBLEM. I HAD TO THREATEN TO SUE THE DEALERSHIP TO PROVIDE AND INSTALL THE MANUFACTURER'S SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT PARTS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE INSTALLED LESS THAN 60 DAYS AGO, AND THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED. WHEN I SPOKE WITH 2 SEPARATE NISSAN CORPORATION REPRESENTATIVES, THEY PROVIDED ME FALSE INFORMATION, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY CONSIDERED THE MATTER CLOSED AND IF I WAS NOT SATISFIED THEN I SHOULD CONTACT A LEMON-LAW ATTORNEY! I DEMAND THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER TO REFUND MY MONEY ENTIRELY! THEY FRAUDENTLY SOLD ME A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD. ADDITIONALLY, 2 ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS REGARDING THE DRIVER'S POWER SEAT AND THE RADIO HAVE SURFACED AND THE BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS AS WELL.
