STRUCTURE:BODY
THE SPRAY-IN TRUCK BED LINER HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO DISCOLOR. IT WAS ORIGINALLY BLACK, BUT HAS BEGUN TO TURN WHITE IN LESS THAT 3 MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. DEALER SAID THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. NISSAN GAVE ME THE SAME RESPONSE.*AK

TRUCK VIBRATES VERY ROUGHLY AND BRAKES PUSH DOWN LOW TO THE FLOOR WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. BRAKES WERE FIRST SERVICED AT 4,503 MILES ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2004. AGAIN TRUCK STARTED TO VIBRATE WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, AND HAD TO BE PUSHED HARD AND LOW TO FLOOR. BRAKES WERE AGAIN SERVICED AT 8,795 MILES ON JANUARY 18, 2005. TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 12,565 MILES AND TRUCK AGAIN VIBRATES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, AND BRAKES NEED TO BE PRESSED HARD AND GO LOW TO THE FLOOR. NISSAN HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND WAITING FOR CONTACT FOR SERVICE OF TRUCK. IN ADDITION, THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN NOTED WITH NISSAN: THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS (POSSIBLE DRIVE SHAFT PROBLEM), TRUCK RUNS VERY ROUGH AND LOUD (POSSIBLE BELT TENSION PROBLEM), THE RADIO HAS BAD RECEPTION AND THE DASHBOARD RATTLES. IN ADDITION, IT WAS NOTED TO NISSAN THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR REFLECTS THE DASHBOARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN LOOKING INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR IN ORDER TO CHANGE LANES.*AK

THE RADIO COMPONENT OF THE STEREO SYSTEM IS HORRIBLE!! HAVE HAD IT CHECKED THREE TIMES, AND ALL THEY SAY IT IS IS A LOOSE ANTENNA!!!! RECEPTION SOUNDS TERRIBLE, LIKE POCKET TRANSISTOR RADIO. CD PLAYER SOUNDS TERRIFIC! BUT, FOR $1200 UPGRADE STEREO, RADIO SHOULD SOUND GREAT. RECEPTION FADES IN AND OUT, AND SOUNDS LIKE MONO, NOT STEREO.*AK

MY NISSIAN TITAN HAS BRAKE PROBLEMS, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IT HAS SERIOUS FRONT END VIBRATION. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 5 SEPERATE OCCASIONS, NEW ROTORS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON 3 OCCASIONS. THE LAST TIME WAS ON 28 FEB. THE DEALER STATED THESE WERE NEW ROTORS AUTHORIZED BY NISSIAN AS THE FIX FOR THE BRAKE ISSUE. AFTER THE NEW ROTORS WERE INSTALLED THE VIBRATION IS NOW WORSE THAN ITS EVER BEEN. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO ANSWER ANY EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN IN NOVEMBER, AT ABOUT 2,500 MILES I NOTICED A SLIGHT SHUDDER WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE SITUATION DETERIORATED OVER THE NEXT THOUSAND MILES OR SO UNTIL I COULD FEEL THE SHUDDER WHEN I USED MY BRAKES GOING JUST A COUPLE MILES AN HOUR. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE THE PADS AND MACHINED THE ROTORS WHICH TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT LET ME KNOW THAT THERE WAS A GOOD CHANCE THIS WOULD OCCUR AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN HAD A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT SINCE THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURENCE I WASN'T ELLIGIBLE FOR THAT REPAIR.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER
TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE ON THE FRONT BRAKES BECAUSE OF SHUDDERING AND EXCESSIVE WEAR. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE REP THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE CAMPAIGN ON THE BRAKES BECAUSE THEY WERE UNDERSIZED FOR THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIR KIT WOULD BE ORDERED TO REPLACE THE ROTORS, CALIPERS, AND PADS. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY NISSAN OF ANY DEFECT IN THE BRAKES. IT TOOK 2 MONTHS TO GET THE PARTS IN BUT NOT THE PARTS THEY HAD DISCUSSED. THEY TURNED THE ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED REPLACED A CONTROL ARM AND REPLACED THE PADS. MAKING THE ROTOR THINNER AND REPLACING THE PADS IS NOT GOING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY INDICATED ANOTHER "REPAIR KIT" WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN APRIL OR MAY. MEANWHILE I CONTINUE TO DRIVE WITH THE BRAKES BEING ADMITTEDLY UNDERSIZED FOR THIS VEHICLE.

STEERING SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. VERY HARD TO CONTROL AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. HAD IT REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP AT 9K MILES, ITS BACK AGAIN AT 13K. I CANT BELIEVE NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THIS YET - ITS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN, AND EVEN WORSE A REAL SAFETY HAZARD FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROAD.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
SINCE THE PURCHASE OF OUR 2004 NISSAN TITAN ON 8/31/04, THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS BEEN OUT OF ALIGNMENT. VEHICLE WOULD IMMEDIATELY VEER TO THE RIGHT WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS RELEASED. AFTER FOUR ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE THE ALIGNMENT PROBLEM,THE NISSAN DISTRICT TECHNICAL SPECIALIST (DTS) REMOVED THE VEHICLE FROM AN AS MANUFACTURED CONFIGURATION BY GRINDING DOWN THE RIGHT CASTER ECCERTIC ADJUSTMENT BOLTS.THIS MODIFICATION WAS A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT TO NEAR SPECIFICATIONS WHILE NEGATING THE NEED AND COST INVOLVED TO IDENTIFY AND REPAIR THE ACTUAL PROBLEM PROHIBITING THE FRONT SUSPENSION FROM BEING ALIGNED PROPERLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE ORIGINAL AS MANUFACTURED CONFIGURATION. SUBSEQUENT TO THIS MODIFICATION, THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS STILL NOT WITHIN THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AND SHAKES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH. THE DEALER HAS TRIED, WITHOUT SUCCESS, TO ELIMINATE THE VIBRATION WITH WHEEL AND TIRE REPLACEMENTS. THIS SHORT CUT TYPE FIX DONE BY THE NISSAN DTS HAS AFFECTED THE INTEGRITY OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION, PUT THE VEHICLE IN AN UNSTABLE DRIVING CONDITION AND CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE ROAD.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE IN NOVEMBER OF 2004. WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED A LITTLE OVER 4,000 MILES THE BRAKES STARTED TO SHUDDER AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE AND ALSO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND GROUND THE ROTORS AND THE PROBLEM APPEARED FIXED. AFTER ANOTHER 2,000 MILES OF DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED FURTHER AND FURTHER CLOSER TO THE FLOORBOARD TO GET BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK. THEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE ALONG WITH THE PEDAL. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AGAIN APPEARING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AFTER ABOUT 200 MILES THE BRAKES BEGAN TO FADE AGAIN. THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE PEDAL HAVE NOT STARTED TO VIBRATE YET BUT GOING WITH THE PAST HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM IT SHOULD ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME. I WANT NISSAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. THE PROBLEM COULD NOT ONLY BE A SAFETY PROBLEM DUE TO NO BRAKE PEDAL WHEN APPLIED BUT ALSO VIBRATION FROM APPLYING PEDAL. LASTLY A TRUCK WITH ONLY 6500 MILES SHOULD NOT KEEP GETTING THE ROTORS TURNED OVER AND OVER. *AK

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK UNDER RIGHT (PASSENGER-SIDE) AXLE-TO-WHEEL AREA. ALSO, A FRONT-END ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 CREW CAB INTO THE DEALER SERVICE SHOP ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS TO TRY AND GET THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK REPAIRED/STOPPED. THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN THE THEIR SHOP THEY HAD MY TRUCK FOR OVER A MONTH WAITING ON A NEW POWER STEERING HOSE PART THAT APPARENTLY WAS IN SHORT SUPPLY. THE LEAK HAS NOW STARTED AGAIN AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN AGAIN... ADDITIONALLY, EVER SINCE THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW, I HAVE ASKED THE SHOP TO FIX THE ALIGNMENT 4 TIMES AND IT'S STILL NOT RIGHT. THE STEERING SEEMS STRAIGHT UNTIL HIGHER SPEEDS (60+ MPH) THEN I HAVE TO KEEP THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT TO KEEP THE TRUCK STRAIGHT. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 7600 MILES ON IT SO FAR. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED ONCE ALREADY. BASED ON ALL OF THE BRAKE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ, I'M SURE I WILL HAVE TO GET THEM REPAIRED AGAIN SOON. WHEN SHOULD I TRY TO USE VIRGINIA'S LEMON LAW? *AK
