DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPING THE BRAKE PEDAL SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO STATED THAT DURING ASSEMBLY THE DISCS AND ROTORS FOR A MAXIMA WERE PLACED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER OFFERED TO REPLACE THE DISCS AND ROTORS, BUT THE CONTACT DECLINED. THE DEALER INDICATED THERE COULD BE MULTIPLE VEHICLES PRODUCED AT THE SAME PLANT WITH THE INCORRECT BRAKING COMPONENTS.*AK

2005 NISSAN TITAN LE 5.6 4/4 KING CAB VIN# [XXX]; I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER 10/06/05 TO REPLACE A COOLING FAN THAT THEY ORDERED 3 WEEKS AGO AND CHECK MY BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN YOU ARE STOPPED OR COMING TO A STOP. YOU HAVE TO PUMP IT UP TO BRING IT BACK UP. THEY INSTALLED THE FAN AND TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AS SOME OF THE OTHER MODELS DO THE SAME THING. THE BRAKE CYLINDER FLUID WAS FULL. IT SCARES ME TO DRIVE WITH THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR. THE FLUID HAS TO BE GOING SOMEWHERE MAYBE BYPASSING THE SEALS AS THIS IS A CLOSED SYSTEM. I HAD TO CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE TO HAVE THE FAN REPLACED AND THEY SAID THERE WERE VERY FEW REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THESE TRUCKS(3WKS FOR A FAN). I NEED HELP AS I DON'T WANT TO KILL SOMEONE OR MYSELF. NISSAN DOES NOT CARE. *NM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FRONT BRAKE SHUDDER - LESS THAN 4000 MILES - REVIEWED MANY COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA SITE OF EXACT SAME PROBLEM - WILL CONTACT DEALER AND PLAY THE GAME THAT EVERYONE ELSE SEEMS TO HAVE TO PLAY - CONSTANT TRIPS TO DEALER FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF ROTOR. WOULD SAVE SERIOUS GRIEF ON ALL PARTIES IF RECALL WAS SIMPLY ISSUED AND SITUATION FIXED BY REPLACING EQUIPMENT THAT WORKS. *JB

DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCK AND HAS TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AT 2,700 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP IS THE ONE THAT CHANGED THE BRAKES. THE DEALER SAID THAT IF THEY HAD TO CHANGE THE BRAKES AGAIN TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK IN. THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED, THE BACK ROTORS WERE RESURFACED , AND THE PADS WERE REPLACED. THE TRUCK IS DRIVING FINE NOW. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT CONTACTED NISSAN. *AK

I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE "A" STATE BLACKTOP COMING INTO A SHARP CORNER AND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE FRONT WHEELS BEGAN TO SHIMMY VERY HARD. IT CAUSED THE 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TO LOSE CONTACT WITH THE HIGHWAY CAUSING IT TO LEAVE THE ROAD AND OVERTURN. THE TRUCK WAS TOTALED AND I RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES. AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT SAVED ME. NISSAN KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT A POSSIBLE BRAKE PROBLEM UNTIL IT WRECKED ME. THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RECALLING ALL THEIR TRUCKS WITH THIS PROBLEM. IF I WOULD HAVE DIED IN THE CRASH, NO ONE WOULD KNOW THE CAUSE. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY BACK THE TRUCK FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THE PROOF OF WARPED ROTORS CAUSING THE ACCIDENT. IT ALSO APPEARED THE REAR BRAKES DID NOT WORK BECAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM WAS CONFUSED? I COULD USE SOME HELP HERE. *NM

DT: 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONSUMER STATES ON AUGUST 28, 2005 WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF CONSUMER'S VEHICLE STOPPED SUDDENLY. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THE MORE THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE MORE THE VEHICLE SHOOK. CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WENT OFF ROAD. THIS VEHICLE WAS TOO HARD TO CONTROL BECAUSE OF THE SHAKING.

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

BRAKES AND ROTORS INAPT TO HANDLE VEHICLE WEIGHT AND STOPPING REQUIREMENTS. AT 6,000 MILES FRONT PADS WERE WORN AWAY AND WERE GRINDING INTO ROTOR ,REAR PADS AT 30% REMAINING.

I PURCHASED MY BRAND NEW NISSAN TITAN JUNE 16TH 2005 MY HUSBAND AND I DECIDED TO TAKE OUR FAMILY OWN A ROAD TRIP TO TEXAS FOR THE 4TH OF JULY. 2 WEEKS AFTER I RETURNED I HAD ABOUT 5,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND NOTICE THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WAS VIBRATING AS I STOPPED ON MY BRAKES, I CALLED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BRING IT IN AND WE WILL FIX IT , SO I ASKED WHAT WAS THE COMMON PROBLEM AND SHE SAID THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS BURN OUT AND THAT LAST MONTH THEY JUST RECEIVED THE NEW COMPONENT FOR THIS PROBLEM. NOW MY PROBLEM HAVE WITH NISSAN CORP. IS THAT I WAS OWN THE ROAD WITH MY 2 CHILDREN AND HUSBAND SOUNDS SCARY TO ME, IF THEY NEW THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WHY NOT DO A NATIONAL RECALL OR EVEN CALL THE CUSTOMERS WHO JUST PURCHASED A NEW TRUCK WITHIN THAT MONTH. BUT NO NISSAN IS TRYING TO COVER THERE BUTTS AND NOT PUT IT OUT TO THE PUBLIC BUT I TELL YOU ONE THING NISSAN CORP. IS LOOKING FOR A BIG FAT LEGAL MATTERS WITH THE CUSTOMERS. *NM

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
