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

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC
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.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SUSPENSION:FRONT, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
WE PURCHASED A TRUCK FROM NISSAN IN OCTOBER OF 2004. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MANY TIMES AND IN DECEMBER OF 2004, IT WAS THERE OVER 30 DAYS. THE TRANSMISSION AND THE REAR END HAVE BOTH GONE OUT, WINDOWS DON'T ROLL UP AND DOWN CORRECTLY, RATTLING IN THE CAB WHERE THE VISOR AND GARAGE DOOR OPENERS ARE HELD. THE BRAKE, VDC, TOW, AND ABS SWITCH STAY ON ALL THE TIME. THE BRAKES ARE GOING OUT AND THE WHOLE TRUCK SHIMMIES. NOW IN ADDITION TO THE TRANSMISSION BEING REPLACED ONCE, IT'S SLIPPING AGAIN. NISSAN STATED THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE RENTAL ON THE 30 DAYS, BUT THAT WAS A LIE. THEY SOCKED ME WITH AN $283.00 BILL. $181.00 WAS TO FILL UP THE TANK WITH GAS!!!!!!! THERE ARE ALSO MISSING VALVES ON THE TIRES THEY THEMSLEVES TOOK OFF AND DIDN'T REPLACE AND THE ALARM GOES OFF BY ITSELF WHEN NO ONE IS AROUND. GIVE ME A BREAK...NISSAN STATES THIS DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE LEMON LAW. I NEED HELP IN THIS SITUATION. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN FULLY LOADED. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED TWICE. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. NISSAN WAS AWARE THAT THE BRAKES ON THE TRUCK HAD PROBLEMS AND NEVER TOLD ME WHEN I BOUGHT IT. NISSAN WAS AWARE THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS ALSO DEFECTIVE. THERE IS A TSB ISSUED FOR BOTH PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE BRAKES, THAT I WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BRING THE TRUCK IN ABOUT EVERY 3000 MILES AND HAVE THE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED. I WAS TOLD NISSAN IS LOOKING FOR A FIX. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS THE SAME SITUATION. NISSAN CORPORATE HAS TOLD DEALERSHIPS NOT TO FIX THE WINDOW ISSUE, THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE. THE WINDOW MAY STOP IN THE DOWN POSISTION OR IN THE UP POSITION. IN MY CASE IT HAS DONE BOTH AND FINALLY IT WOULD NOT GO UP AT ALL. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOW OPEN FOR A DAY UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO A DEALER TO BE LOOKED AT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NO FIX BUT THEY WOULD TRY THERE BEST. *AK
