2004 Nissan Titan

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN, WHICH I BOUGHT FROM EAST CAROLINA NISSAN. I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE THREE TIMES FOR REPAIRS TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED PARTS EACH TIME. THE BRAKES STILL DO NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. I WROTE THE MANAGER AND HE SAID HE WOULD NOT REFUND MY MONEY OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE UNDER THE FEDERAL LEMON LAW. *NM

2004 TITAN SE WITH BIG TOW PACKAGE. ASD OF 26000 MILES HAVE HAD BRAKES REPLACED FOUR TIMES, THE LAST TIME BY A NISSAN ENGINEER. ALSO A REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER. HAVE ALREADY HAD THE RECALL BRAKES, THOSE WERE PUT ON THE SECOND TIME, AT 21000 AND WERE PROBLEMS SHORTLY AFTER, SO THE RECALLED BRAKE PARTS DO NOT WORK!!! NISSAN CORPORATION TOLD US THAT THEY FELT NO RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO REPLACE OUR VEHICLE. I FEEL A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT COMING UP. AND BY THE WAY, TRUCK STRUGGLES TOWING 6500LBS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS SUPPOSE TO TOW 9500. *JB

DT: WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT NO PARTICULAR SPEED THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKES. THE BRAKES DO WORK, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL IS AFFECTED. THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER , WHO SAID THEY COULD TURN DOWN THE ROTORS, BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD RETURN. THE CONSUMER DID NOT WANT THE ROTORS TURNED DOWN, HE WANTS THEM REPLACED. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA SEVERAL TIMES, AND THEY WILL NOT RETURN CALLS OR DISCUSS THE ISSUE. THE CONSUMER FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN. NO REPAIRS OR CORRECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AT THIS TIME. THE CONSUMER FELT THIS WAS A TEMPORARY FIX. *AK

DT: WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE OWNER NOTICED A SHAKING FEELING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED FOR A STOP LIGHT. THERE WAS EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE PROBLEM BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR SERVICE IN JUNE, AND THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE FIRST BRAKE REPAIR WAS AT 20,000 MILES AND COST $1,000.00. TWO MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIRS DEALERSHIP ACTED AS IF THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. SHAKING AT STOP LIGHTS OCCURRED AGAIN. . OWNER CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED. THE OWNER ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER WHAT THE COMPANY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE OWNER WILL REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS IF IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. HE WILL CONTACT THE NATIONAL NUMBER FOR NISSAN TODAY. THE VEHICLE WAS REGULARLY SERVICED WITH RECORDS AVAILABLE. *AK

DT: A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING THE BRAKES FAILED. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST THREE TIMES. WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKES THEY WILL NOT HOLD. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME. THE BRAKES, AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD HIM THAT ROTORS NEEDED REPLACEMENT, AND THEY HAVE BEEN REENGINEERED BY NISSAN. CONSUMER HAS BEEN WAITING AT LEAST 2 MONTHS FOR THE REPLACEMENT. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 8-1-05.*AK

APPROXIMATELY FOUR MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN I GRADUALLY BEGAN EXPERIENCING A 'SHUDDER WHILE BRAKING' PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM QUICKLY ESCALATED AND BECAME GREATER AND GREATER. ON MARCH 30TH, 2005, I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO PASSPORT NISSAN OF MARLOW HEIGHTS, MARYLAND FOR REPAIRS. AT THIS POINT I LEARNED THROUGH THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE PERMANENT REPAIR KIT FOR THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF SERVICE FOR ONE DAY AND THEY RETURNED MY TRUCK INDICATING THAT THEY RESURFACED THE ROTORS AND REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS. THIS PROCEDURE WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM. APPROXIMATELY 4,000 MILES LATER THE 'SHUDDER W/BRAKING' PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED. JUST AS BEFORE THE PROBLEM ESCALATED AND BECAME GREATER AND GREATER. ON JULY 07TH, 2005, I RETURNED MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME REPAIR. ON JULY 12TH, 2005, I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND DISCOVERED THAT NO REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. THE SERVICE MANAGER INDICATED TO ME THAT PARTS WERE ON ORDER. AS OF THE DATE OF THIS REPORT, THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST AND NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A CORRECTIVE REPAIR KIT FOR THIS DEFECT. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO INDICATED THAT NISSAN OF AMERICA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON A SOLUTION. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT AND THERE PROBABLY SHOULD BE ONE. THE BRAKES ON MY TRUCK ARE TERRIBLE AND AT TIME APPEAR INEFFECTIVE, ESPECIALLY IN WET WEATHER. IN MY OPINION NISSAN HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM APPROPRIATELY. I AM AWARE OF OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NONE OF THEM HAVE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION ABOUT THIS DEFECT OR ANYTHING THAT NISSAN IS DOING TO RECTIFY THE DEFECT. *NM
