NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEGED THAT THE BRAKES ON NISSAN TITAN ARE INADEQUATE. THIS CAUSES THE ROTORS TO WARP UNDER EVEN THE LIGHTEST USE.

NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEGED THAT THE BRAKES ON NISSAN TITAN ARE INADEQUATE. THIS CAUSES THE ROTORS TO WARP UNDER EVEN THE LIGHTEST USE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE DEMAND FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS IS VERY HIGH, THEREFORE THE REMEDY IS TO GO THE DEALERSHIP, HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED TWICE BEFORE THEY WILL ORDER PARTS. I ASKED TO ORDER THE PARTS RIGHT AWAY WITHOUT TURNING THE ROTORS FIRST AND THEY DECLINED. MEANTIME, I AM DRIVING A BRAND NEW TRUCK WITH 6000 MILES ON IT WITH WARPED ROTORS. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I AM IN IMMINENT DANGER HOWEVER THIS IS A BRAKING PROBLEM WHICH IN MY OPINION IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE.

THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL NISSAN CAME OUT WITH A PERMANENT FIX. AS YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT HAD THE TEMPORARY FIX DONE, STILL WAITING ON NISSAN FOR THE RECALL NOTICE. THE NISSAN DEALER SAID THAT NISSAN IS WORKING ON A PERMANENT FIX. *TT *EH CONSUMER STATES THAT WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED STEERING IS HARD TO CONTROL.*SB

AT 13,000 MILES, MY TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALER 3 TIMES FOR BRAKE ROTER PROBLEMS. THE ROTORS WARP AND CAUSE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKING. THE TRUCK WILL ALSO PULL TO THE LEFT WHEN BRAKING. THIS SEEMS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IT IS VERY DISSAPOINTING THAT NISSAN HASN'T FIXED THIS PROBLEM.

LIKE MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS I AM HAVING CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT BRAKES GETTING SOFT AND VIBRATING. NISSAN KEEPS SAYING THAT THEY HAVE A SOLUTION COMING, BUT THEY KEEP PUSHING THE DATE BACK. THE LAST TWO TIMES I'VE BEEN IN WITH THIS ISSUE, THEIR INTERIM FIX HASN'T HELPED FOR MORE THAN A DAY. BRAKES ARE SOMETHING THAT BOTH YOU AND NISSAN SHOULD NOT BE SCREWING AROUND ON. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED MONTHS AGO.
