2005 Nissan Titan SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

2005 NISSAN TITAN. CONSUMER HAD RECALL WORK FOR BRAKE JUDDER. THE REPAIRS WERE DONE EVEN THOUGH THE CONSUMER WAS NOT EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEMS. SOMETIME AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE NOISES . *KB THE CONSUMER STATED HE BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE OCCASIONAL SHUTTERING IN THE FRONT WHEELS WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAS CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE BRAKE PROBLEMS TO THE POINT WHERE THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. THERE WERE SEVERAL INCIDENTS, WHERE THE CONSUMER RAN SEVERAL STOP SIGNS AND INTO THE INTERSECTION. *JB UPDATED 03/1011 THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE ENGAGED WITH GREATER INTENSITY THAN THE OTHER BRAKES, WHICH CAUSED THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE TO GRAB DURING HARD BRAKING. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM ONLY SEEMED TO OCCUR WITH HARD BRAKING DURING HAZARDOUS ROAD CONDITIONS. UPDATED 05/19/11 *JB.

1. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AUG 11, 2010 WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT 65 MPH. 2.THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN I HAD TO APPLY FOOT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC CONGESTION. AS SOON AS BRAKE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL FIVE THINGS HAPPENED: A. THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT SOFTER THAN NORMAL. B. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT FURTHER DOWN TOWARD THE FLOORBOARD THAN NORMAL. C. I HEARD A POPPING/PULSATING SOUND AS I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES. D. I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND AS I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES. E. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RED BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I HAD NO CHOICE, BUT TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO AVOID CREATING AN ACCIDENT EVEN THOUGH IT SOUNDED AND FELT LIKE BRAKE FAILURE WAS OCCURRING. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS TYPE OF BRAKE INCIDENT/FAILURE HAS OCCURRED ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE PREVIOUS TWO TIMES THIS BRAKE INCIDENT/FAILURE OCCURRED AT A MUCH LOWER SPEEDS AND I COULD NOT FIND RELATION TO WHAT WAS OCCURRING WHEN I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. 3. ONCE I HAD THE VEHICLE BACK UNDER CONTROL I TURNED INTO A LOW TRAFFIC SIDE STREET AND SLOWLY TESTED THE BRAKES, BUT ALL FIVE SYMPTOMS FROM ABOVE WERE STILL OCCURRING. I ALSO TRIED GOING IN REVERSE VERY SLOWLY, BUT THE SYMPTOMS REMAINED. I COMPLETELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION KEY AND GOT OUT TO INSPECT THE TRUCK. I COULD NOT SEE ANY VISIBLE DAMAGE TO FRONT ROTORS OR CALIPERS AND I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, BUT NOTHING APPEARED TO BE WRONG. I TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON AND THE RED BRAKE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF AND THE BRAKES WERE BACK TO NORMAL. I DO NOT FEEL THAT FAILURE HAS BEEN CORRECTED AND THAT IS WHY I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I FEEL THERE IS SAFETY ISSUE AT HAND. IT APPEARS TO BE SOME TYPE OF INTERMENT ELECTRICAL FAILURE INTERCONNECTED TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM THAT CLEARS THE FAILURE WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS TURNED OFF ONLY TO REAPPEAR AT ANOTHER TIME. *TR

I BELIEVE THAT THE NISSAN TITANS HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THEIR BRAKES. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW IN 2005 WITH 14 MILES SHOWING ON THE ODOMETER. AFTER THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATED A LOT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. I NEVER LEAVE MY FOOT ON OR RIDE THE BRAKE PEDAL NOR DO I USE THE BRAKES EXCESSIVELY, MOST OF THE MILES ON THE VEHICLE ARE HIGHWAY MILES BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS USED MOSTLY FOR VACATION PURPOSES. I DO HOWEVER TOW A SMALL 6 BY 12 FOOT BOX TRAILER WITH 4 BICYCLES IN IT, WHICH MAKES FOR A LIGHT LOAD. IT HAS CONTINUED TO PROGRESS AND BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED AS THE VEHICLE AGES. AT AROUND 13,000 MILES THE BRAKES SOMETIMES GRAB OR WOULD NOT STOP WITH OUT APPLYING EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL MUCH MORE THAN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, THIS WOULD BRING THE TRUCK TO A SHAKING, ROUGH OR SOMETIMES TIRE SQUEALING STOP. AT 13,300 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, THEY SAID THEY COULD TRY MACHINING THE ROTORS FOR AROUND $440 OR REPLACE THE ROTORS WHICH WOULD COST QUITE A BIT MORE, HOWEVER THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE TRUCK STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 14,991 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I FEEL IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE OUT OF ABOUT 10 NEW VEHICLES THAT I PURCHASED WHICH HAS BRAKE PROBLEMS. *TR

I THINK THE BRAKE SYSTEM IN MY 2005 TITAN IS INADEQUATE. THE FRONT DISC ROTORS WERE BENT @ 20000 MILES AND REPLACED BY NISSAN FOR THIS DEFECT BUT AT 60000 MILES, THE FRONT DISC ROTORS WERE BENT AGAIN. MAKING STOPPING THIS TRUCK HAZARDOUS AS THE STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND IT TOOK MUCH FARTHER TO STOP. I CHECK THE DISC ROTORS AND THE BRAKE PADS AND THEY ARE NORMAL. I CONTACT NISSAN BUT THEY DIDN'T RESPONSE.*DT

ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T HAD AN "INCIDENT" YET, I WORRY ABOUT IT EVERYDAY. MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN HAS THE WORST BRAKES THAT I'VE EVER HAD IN A VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR ON EVERY STOP. SOMETIMES WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED IT "SKIPS" AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES RELEASE THEN GRAB AGAIN. THIS TRUCK WAS MEANT TO TOW UP TO 9,000LBS, BUT WHEN I TOWED ABOUT 4,000 AND TRIED TO STOP, I ALMOST RAN INTO SOMEONE. THE BRAKES ARE HORRIBLE WITHOUT TOWING AND BEYOND ACCEPTABLE TOWING ANY WEIGHT. SINCE THAT HAPPENED, I HAVE YET TO TOW ANYTHING ELSE, I'M AFRAID THE TRUCK WON'T STOP. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE BRAKES AREN'T "WHAT THEY SHOULD BE" BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO BECAUSE NISSAN HASN'T ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM. I'M HOPING THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD BE LOCKED INTO. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE NISSAN ARMADA HAS THE SAME BRAKES AND THE SAME PROBLEMS. THANK YOU AS FAR AS THE INCIDENT DATE, I'M JUST USING THE FIRST DATE THAT I CAN REMEMBER REALIZING THE PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. 57K MILES. FOUR TIME THIS WEEK (WEEK OF 21 JULY) THE ABS SYSTEM HAS GONE OUT. I HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND SHUT IT OFF AND THEN RESTART TO HAVE ABS COME BACK TO LIFE. WHEN IT GOES OUT THERE IS A CLUNKING SOUND WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A YEAR THIS HAS GONE OUT AND I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER. THIS IS A SAFETY OF DRIVING ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE PERMANENTLY FIXED BY NISSAN. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP. WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AT 30 MPH I STEPPED ON MY BRAKE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK, MY BRAKES BECAME MUSHY, THERE WAS A CLICKING SOUND, AND MY BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. BY PRESSING DOWN HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW TO A STOP. I EVENTUALLY MADE MY WAY INTO A PARKING LOT. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE, CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND IT WAS FINE. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE THE RED LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. IT IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS UNDERGOING DIAGNOSTICS. BRAKES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE IN A VEHICLE. THEY CANNOT SPONTANEOUSLY FAIL. THIS HAS BEEN A GROWING PROBLEM ON NISSAN TITANS AND ARMADAS AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THANK YOU. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL UNDER BRAKING. NISSAN HAS IDENTIFIED THAT 2004 AND EARLY 2005 TITANS WERE BUILT WITH BRAKE ROTORS THAT ARE TOO SMALL, RESULTING IN THE ROTORS WARPING DUE TO OVERHEATING. NISSAN CALLS THIS ISSUE BRAKE JUDDERING AND HAS ISSUED THREE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING FIXING THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING AN UPGRADED (BIGGER ROTORS) BRAKE KIT. NISSAN EXTENDED THE BRAKE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE TO 36 MONTHS/36,000MILES. I AM UNDER THE MILEAGE LIMIT (31,000) BUT HAVE EXCEEDED THE TIME LIMIT BY ONE MONTH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THEY NEED TO BE WILLING TO REPLACE THE ROTORS FOR ANY VEHICLE ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED WITH THE UNDERSIZED ROTORS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT MY ROTORS ARE WARPED AND RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT. *TR

FRONT BRAKE JUDDER WHEN HARD BRAKING OCCURS. VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL PULLS IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. FIXED BY DEALER TWICE FOR AFTER MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS (WARRANTY) ONCE BY ME OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. AT 55,000 AND THREE SETS OF BRAKES THE JUDDER IS COMING BACK AGAIN FOR THE 4TH TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THE DEALER REPAIRED THE ROTORS AND OTHER BRAKE RELATED FAILURES. AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE CONTACT HEARD METAL GRINDING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. HE RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE FINE. THE CONTACT CLAIMS THAT THE DEALER WAITED FOR THE WARRANTY TO EXPIRE SO THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VIN AND MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

PURCHASED A NEW NISSAN TITAN IN 2/2005. HAD THE FRONT BRAKES REPLACED AT 25,000 UNDER WARRANTY WHEN BEGAN TO FEEL VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. PRESENTLY I HAVE 57,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE SAME VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES IS HAPPENING AGAIN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A UPDATED TORQUE MEMBER KIT AND NEW FRONT PADS AND BRAKES FOR MY TRUCK AT A COST OF $756.59 BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID TO TAKE MY COMPLIANT TO THE FACTORY. I HAVE CALLED REPEATEDLY TO THE FACTORY AND AM STILL WAITING FOR A CALL BACK. DRIVING MY TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND I AM RISKING MY LIFE EVERYDAY I GET INTO IT TO DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK. MY MAJOR COMPLIANT WITH THIS ISSUE IS THAT IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE, IT IS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT IN THE TORQUE MEMBER KIT AND FRONT BRAKES AND I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW. AT 7000 MILES I STARTED EXPERIENCING SEVERE BRAKE SHUDDER WHENEVER I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT PADS AND ROTORS AND TURNED THE REAR ROTORS. BRAKES SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 7000 MILES.

BAD VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING SO BAD IN FACT HAD TO LEAVE THE ROAD TO AVOID TRAFFIC. NO INJURIES TO PEOPLE, PROPERTY, OR VEHICLES. HAPPENED 2 MILES FROM HOME SO WENT HOME FIRST. A QUICK CALL TO MY ATTORNEYS OFFICE LED ME TO THE NHTS.DOT.GOV SITE. I WAS SHOCKED OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS I READ ABOUT ON THESE TRUCKS AND STILL NO RECALL? THAT'S JUST IRRESPONSIBLE! PRINTED OUT A BUNCH ON COMPLAINTS AND HEADED INTO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. WENT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER INTRODUCED MYSELF AND ASKED HIM IF THEY HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN TITANS BRAKES THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY. SO I HANDED HIM THE COMPLAINTS FROM THIS SITE AND ASKED IF HE COULD EXPLAIN IT TO ME. WITHIN MINUTES THEY ROAD TESTED MY TRUCK AND SAID YES THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WOULD FIX MY TRUCK RIGHT AWAY AND NISSAN WAS GIVING THE BRAKES ON THESE TRUCKS WARRANTIES FOR 10 YEAR OR 100,000 MILES. THEY CALLED ME A RENTAL CAR, PAID FOR IT, AND SAID THEY COULD FINISH THE WORK TODAY. WORK ORDER REPLACED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. PADS AND TORQUE MEMBERS REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACED REAR ROTORS PARTS: 2 40206-ZC00A ROTOR DISC BRAKE 1 41060-ZC027 PAD KIT - DISC 1 44060-ZC025 PAD KIT - DISC BR 4 41005-7S000 BOLT TOOK THEM A FEW HOURS TO FINISH THE REPAIRS I WAS OPTIMISTIC TO SEE THEY GOT RIGHT AFTER THE PROBLEM HOPEFULLY THAT FIXES IT. I WOULD STILL LIKE TO HAVE THAT 10Y/100K BRAKE WARRANTY IN WRITING. WE WILL SEE IF THIS IS JUST A WORK AROUND OR A FIX TIME WILL TELL. I'LL POST MORE INFO AS I RECEIVE IT. B

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN APPLYING BRAKE FORCEFULLY THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES DOWN FURTHER THAN EXPECTED. WHICH IN TURN, CAUSES THE CONTACT TO ALSO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE TRYING TO JUST APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN TITAN WHO DETERMINED THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5000, AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,000.*AK THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. UPDATED 04/05/07. *JB

I BOUGHT MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB 4X4 LE NEW IN MAY OF 2005. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY BRAKES/ROTORS REPLACED AND RESURFACED 3 TIMES DO TO SEVER BRAKE VIBRATION. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT 7500 MILES, SECOND WAS AT 15000 MILES AND NOW AT 25000 MILES. THIS IS HORRIBLE AND VERY DANGEROUS. THE BRAKES ARE OBVIOUSLY UNDERSIZED FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS ADVERTISED TO TOW 10,000 LBS, AND I AM HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITHOUT EVER TOWING ANYTHING. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT 15-20MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE FRONT WHEELS STARTED SHAKING AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE CONTACT DOES NOT RECALL HOW THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT DURING BRAKING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED; THE VEHICLE CONTINUED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND STRUCK AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS PRIOR TO THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE POLICE FILED A REPORT AT THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SERVICE DEALER WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY BEING INSPECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED AND WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION IN WRITING CONCERNING THE BRAKES. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A KNEE INJURY.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATES. THE VIBRATIONS CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARD. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY BECOME WORSE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED. *AK

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. RECENTLY, THE BRAKES FAILED ON THE VEHICLE AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I WAS CALLED TWO DAYS LATER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO FOR ME BECAUSE THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE COMPUTER DID NOT RECORD ANY FAULT CODES. I'VE ASKED THEM TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THEY REFUSE TO DO IT. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT ITS MY RESPONSIBILITY AND THAT IF THE BRAKES FAIL AGAIN, TO BRING IT BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I'VE CALLED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND THEY ARE NOT OFFERING ANY HELP, THEY STAND BEHIND WHAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME. IN MY OPINION, NOBODY SHOULD GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS VEHICLE. IT NOW SEEMS LIKE I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. *JB

I HAD A HEAVY PULSATING OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND BRAKE PEDAL DURING ROUTINE BRAKING I INFORMED MY DEALER OF THIS AT 8500 MILES AND WAS INFORMED THIS IS NORMAL. AT 9,000 MILES I WAS INSISTENT THAT THEY LOOK AT MY TRUCK AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS, PADS, TORQUE MEMBER, REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS AND MACHINE THE REAR ROTORS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WOULD NEED TO BE DONE ABOUT EVERY 6,000 TO 9,000 MILES BECAUSE THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS TOO SMALL FOR A TRUCK THIS SIZE. *NM

AT 941 MILES, 9 DAYS AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE; THE FRONT BRAKES WOULD MAKE A SOUND WHEN STEPPING ON AND LETTING OFF THE BRAKES. IT ALSO FELT LIKE THEY WERE DRAGGING. A LOT OF BRAKE DUST WAS ALSO NOTED ON THE RIMS. IT FELT AS IF THE FRONT BRAKE PADS WERE WORN OUT. THE DEALER CHECKED ALL 4 BRAKES AND GAVE MY HUSBAND A "REASON" WHY THE PADS WERE WEARING SO SOON. BRAKES ON FRONT FOUND TO BE AT 12MM WITH NO ABNORMAL WEAR...ROTORS WERE SAID TO BE OK AS WELL. ALSO NOTED A SNAPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT , SLOW TURNS, SHARP TURNS AND WHEN WE ALMOST WOULD COME TO A STOP. DURING ROAD TEST THEY SAID THEY COULD HEAR THE ABS CLICK AND IT WAS NORMAL AS WAS ALL OTHER SUSPENSION. AND FOR SOME REASON THE STATE INSPECTION STICKER HAD NOT BEEN UPDATED PRIOR TO OUR LEAVING THE LOT. *JB

I PURCHASED MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2005. I NOTICED A VIBRATION BEGINNING IN LATE FEBRUARY 2006 WHEN BRAKING. ON MARCH 11, 2006, THE BRAKES WERE REPORTED WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS DURING REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AT 17344 MILES. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN REPORTED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND RECOMMENDED AN UPDATED BRAKE KIT IF THE VEHICLE HAD NOT ALREADY HAD IT. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT THERE WAS NO NEED TO DO THIS WORK UNTIL THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE. THE VIBRATION HAS CONSISTENTLY WORSENED SINCE THAT TIME AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK VIBRATES WHEN BRAKING. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. I HAVE OWNED MANY OTHER TRUCKS AND NEVER REQUIRED BRAKES OR ROTOR REPAIR WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF PURCHASE. I HAVE RESEARCHED DIFFERENT WEBSITES TO DISCOVER THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS IN THIS AREA. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL 30MPH ON A WET ROAD, BRAKE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED AND THERE WAS A FRONT END VIBRATION AS THOUGH THE ABS ENGAGED. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THE VEHICLE'S REAR END SLING AROUND AND STRIKING SOME BRUSH AND TREES WITH MINOR DAMAGE. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED AND THE POLICE WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY A DEALER WHICH REPLACED THE ROTORS, BUT SUGGESTED THE ACCIDENT COULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE WET ROAD CONDITIONS.

WARPED ROTORS , 4 ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR WITH LESS THAN 17000 MI. THE PROBLEM HAS JUST STARTED FOR 5TH TIME, LESS THAN 1000 MILES AFTER 4TH ATTEMPT. THE TRUCK IS ONLY USED FOR A FAMILY CAR NOT FOR HEAVY DUTY USE. *NM

I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 NISSAN TITAN LE. THE FACTORY INSTALLED BRAKES ARE UNSAFE AND INADEQUATE FOR THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE TERRIBLY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE FACTORY ROTORS WERE TOO SMALL FOR THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK NOW HAS 7,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TERRIBLE BRAKE JUDDERING IS BACK. IT MAKES THE VEHICLE MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO STOP. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. *JB
