2004 Nissan Titan

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACE AND REPLACED IT THREE TIMES. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS AT THIS TIME. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

WHILE STOPPING TRUCK WHEEL SHAKES LEFT TO RIGHT AND GETS MORE VIOLENT THE HARDER I STOPPED. TRUCK HAD ABOUT 4000 MILES ON IT. TOOK TO DEALER HE REPLACED FRONT ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. NOW WITH 6000 MILE I NOTICE THE SAME THING STARTING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. NEVER HAD ANY VECHILES BRAKES FAIL WITH SO FEW MILES. THIS MUST BE A DEFECT FROM FACTORY.*AK

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN HAS UNDER 6,000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT, LIKE MANY OTHERS, STARTED EXPERIENCED BRAKE JUDDER/FAILURE, ESPECIALLY WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS. REPORTED TO THE DEALER, CONFIRMED JUDDER, AND WAS ADDED TO NISSAN'S LIST FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE (1 SET/2 WEEKS NATION-WIDE, I'M TOLD). RETURNING HOME FROM WORK ON A WET HIGHWAY, UNDER MODERATE BRAKING FOR AN ACCIDENT AHEAD, THE BRAKES LOCKED, SENDING THE TITAN SIDEWAYS INTO A BARRIER. I'VE DRIVEN ACCIDENT-FREE FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL AS IN THE TITAN...IT SIMPLY WOULD NOT STOP AND I WAS TRAVELLING WELL UNDER THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT IN MODERATE TRAFFIC. I HAVE NO DOUBT HAD THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKES AT THE FIRST COMPLAINT OR NISSAN INSTALLED ADEQUATE FRONT BRAKES FROM THE FACTORY, THE ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.*AK

MULTIPLE BRAKE AND STEERING SHUDDER PROBLEMS WITH 2004 TITAN NISSAN SE CREW CAB TRUCK, DEALER MAKES MFG SUGGESTED REPAIRS BUT SHUDDER RETURNS CREATING SAFETY WORRIES AND FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL OF VEHICLE. MOREOVER, TRANSMISSION COOLANT LINE REPLACED WHEREIN DEALER INFORMS ME THAT BLOWOUT COULD LEAD TO FAILURE. FRONT TIRES EXCESSIVE WEAR, VIBRATION AND SHUDDER WITH OR WITHOUT BRAKE APPLICATION. HEADLIGHT SWITCH DESIGN FLAWED, EASILY TURNED OFF WHEN TURN STALK ACTIVATED OR LIGHTS ARE DIMMED FROM HIGH TO LOW BEAM. ALL THE ABOVE PROBLEMS OCCURED AND STILL ARE OCCURING WITHIN FIRST 3500 MILES!! *AK

NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY AS OF YET. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING BRAKE JUDDER ISSUES ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN EVRY 3000 TO 5000 MILES. I CURRENTLY HAVE 10,900 MILES ON THE TRUCK, AND HAVE JUST BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE THIRD TIME FOR REPAIR OF THIS ISSUE. JUDJING FROM MY EXPERIENCE, AND THAT OF OTHER TITAN OWNERS, IT IS REASONABLY CLEAR TO ME THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH AN INFERIOR DESIGN OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THIS TRUCK AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN DEALING WITH FOR MONTHS NOW, BUT WITH NO GOOD RESOLUTION. IT HAS EVEN BEEN RUMORED FROM A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE AT NISSAN, THAT THE PROBLEM EXTENDS BACK TO A MISPLACED PURCHASE ORDER FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THE BRAKE PARTS. RATHER THAN ORDER THE RIGHT PARTS, AND DELAY SHIPMENT, NISSAN HAS ELECTED TO BUILD THE TRUCKS AND DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM LATER. I HOPE THAT THERE CAN BE SOME KIND OF INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM, WITH THE OUTCOME BEING A FORCED RECALL (NOT JUST A TSB).*AK
