SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
BRAKE ROTORS BECAME WARPED WITH ONLY 5,000 MILES ON MY 2004 TITAN SE CREW CAB. DEALER SAYS HAVE TO BRING IT IN FOR 2 FIXES, THAT THEY KNOW DON'T WORK IN THE LONG RUN, BEFORE NISSAN WILL ALLOW THEM TO ORDER THE PARTS FOR THE PERMANENT FIX OF INSTALLING LARGER HEAVY DUTY ROTORS ALONG WITH SOME OTHER PARTS. THIS IS A VERY DISSAPPOINTING REPONSE FROM NISSAN FOR A VERY SERIOUS AND VERY COMMON PROBLEM. ALSO, I'VE SPOKEN WITH APPROX. 5 TITAN OWNERS AND ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

STRUCTURE:BODY
POOR BUILD AND ENGINEERING QUALITY OF TRUCK. MULTIPLE, UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS. FAULTY BRAKES, AC, STRUCTURE CREATE MANY ISSUES. MULTIPLE RATTLES, SQUEAKS, VIBRATION AT SPEED ETC. WIND NOISE FROM WINDOWS. DOOR WON'T OPEN INTERMITTENTLY. MIRRORS VIBRATE TO POINT OF USELESSNESS. FOUND 2 IMPACT SOCKETS WHEN I BROUGHT IT HOME, SOCKETS WERE ON BOLTS THAT WERE NOT TIGHTENED DOWN...

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
PURCHASED A NEW 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE TRUCK ON 10/23/2004 AND IT HAS SINCE HAD TO HAVE NEW BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS 3 TIMES IN 7 MONTHS WITH ONLY 19281 MILES DRIVEN ON THE TRUCK. THE FIRST REPLACEMENT WAS AT 4662 MILES ON 12/13/04, THE 2ND REPLACEMENT WAS AT 8416 MILES ON 1/26/05, 3RD REPLACMENT WAS AT 15755 MILES ON 4/26/05 AND 4TH REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED NOW. WHEN THE PADS AND ROTORS START FAILING, VERY HARSH STEERING VIBRATIONS OCCUR WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS HAS A GREAT POTENTIAL FOR CAUSING SERIOUS ACCIDENTS ESPECIALLY IN INCLIMATE WEATHER. I HAVE COMPLINED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED ALL 3 TIMES SO FAR AND I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED NISSAN'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HAVE YET TO RECIEVE ANY INFORMATION THAT THEY HAVE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM EXCEPT TO CONTINUE TO REPLACE THE PADS AND ROTORS EVERY 2000-3000 MILES, BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT AT 36000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND NOT LEFT TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES BECAUSE IF YOU GOOGLE SEARCH NISSAN TITAN BRAKE PROBLEMS ON THE WEB YOU WILL FIND NUMEROUS FORUMS OF PEOPLE DISCUSSING THE SAME PROBLEMS I AM HAVING WITH MY BRAKES. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT IS TO LATE AND SOMEONE IS KILLED.

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT SAID DEALERSHIP STATED THERE WAS A DEFECT WITHIN THE BRAKE PADS/ROTORS. THE BRAKE PADS OVERHEATED OR GOT VERY HOT AND WARPED THE ROTORS. WHEN EVER THIS HAPPENED IT CAUSED VIBRATION WHEN STOPPING. VEHICLE WAS SHAKING TREMENDOUSLY, AND IT WAS HARD TO CONTROL VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. ALSO, SAID EVERY 3000-5000 MILES THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS, AND THE ROTORS. THIS WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP INSISTED THERE WAS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THIS CAUSED WEAR TO THE TWO FRONT TIRES. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
NISSAN TITAN PURCHASED IN MARCH, WITH APPROX 4,000 MILES THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE WHEN BRAKING. THE TRUCK HAS 5,00 MILES NOW AND SHAKES SEVERELY WHEN BRAKING ON A DOWNHILL GRADE AND MANUEVERING CURVY ROADS. IT WAS DIFFICULT AND I BELEIVE UNSAFE TO TRAVEL ANY LONGER WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHEN THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED OF THE SHAKE/SHIMMY THEY INFORMED ME OF A WAITING LIST FOR PARTS AND STATED THAT THEY NEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, THAT ALL DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA HAVE A WAITING LIST FOR THIS PART AND THAT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I DISAGREE. LIVING IN AN AREA WITH HILLS AND CURVY ROADS IT IS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE. I WILL NOT BE DRIVING THE NISSAN TITAN UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. I DID NOT HEAR OF A RECALL AND WAS SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT THE SECRETARY AT THE SERVICE DESK KNEW EXACTLY WHAT MY PROBLEM WAS WITHOUT ANYONE LOOKING AT MY VEHICLE. THIS COULD ENDANGER LIVES.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
1.) TRUCK SHAKES WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED. 2.) TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED -HARD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. 3.) NISSAN TURNED THE ROTORS. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THESE TRUCKS AND THAT SEVERAL OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY WILL NOT OFFER A PERMANENT FIX UNTIL THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED TWICE BY THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER. AT THIS POINT (THE THIRD APPOINTMENT FOR BRAKES) THEY WILL INSTALL A NEW BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS SHOULD BE RENDERED BOTH UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE. SINCE THERE IS A NOTED PROBLEM, NISSAN SHOULD HAVE OFFERED A PERMANENT FIX AT THE FIRST SERVICE APPOINTMENT. NISSAN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GAMBLE WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES BY DETERRING A PERMANENT FIX ON A SAFETY COMPONENT SUCH AS BRAKES.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
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 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 .

DT: CONTACT STATES AT 2500 MILES THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE WHILE BRAKING. THE ROTORS WERE ROTATED ON THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A NEW BRAKE KIT AVAILABLE, BUT THE SERVICE DEALER AND NISSAN INDICATE THE ROTORS HAVE TO BE TURNED 3 - 4 TIMES BEFORE THEY WOULD REPLACE THE BRAKES. THE ROTORS THAT ARE MANUFACTURED FOR THE VEHICLE ARE TOO SMALL FOR THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. *AK

THE FRONT END OF THE NISSAN TITAN TRUCK SHAKES EXTREMELY VIOLENTLY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THIS IS PROBLEM ON EVERY NISSAN TITAN AND NISSAN IS AWARE OF IT AND PROVIDING A REPAIR KIT OF PARTS, HOWEVER THEY ARE DOING IT EXTREMELY SLOWLY WITH A TERRIBLY INSUFFICIENT SUPPLY OF PARTS FOR THE SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM.
