2004 Nissan Titan

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH OR LESS OVER AN UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE AND ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE, THE BRAKES WOULD FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE STOPPED BY UTILIZING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD RESET INDEPENDENTLY AND WOULD NOT PRODUCE ANY FAILURE CODES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

REAR DRUM BRAKE LINER DETACHED FROM BACKING PLATE WHILE DRIVING. A LOUD BANGING NOISE WAS MADE. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY DRIVEN TO A NISSAN DEALER. A LOANER CAR WAS OFFERED TO ME. A TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE FOLLOWING; THE BRAKE LINER CAUSED NONREPAIRABLE DAMAGE TO ABS SENSOR, DRIVE SHAFT, DUST SHIELD, AND BRAKE PADS. THE TRUCK HAD 65,757 MILES ON THE TRUCK.PARTS TOOK 6 DAYS TO ORDER. THE BILL WAS $2,300. NISSAN HONORED WARRANTY ON THE DRIVE SHAFT. TOTAL BILL WAS $1,232,48. THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY THE BRAKE LINER DETACHING FROM THE BACKING PLATE, THE LOOSE BRAKE PAD CAUSED THE DESTRUCTION. OTHER WORK PERFORMED WAS REPAIR OF THE EVAP SYSTEM. *TR

I DROVE ABOUT 20 FEET WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND REALIZED I HAD FOGOT THE PARKING BRAKE ON. I TOOK IT OFF AND DROVE AWAY. THE NEXT DAY I HEARD MORE NOISE AND ONE OF MY REAR BRAKES SEEMED TO BE DRAGGING. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. ON THE HIGHWAY, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE WITH CRAZY NOISE AND GRINDING, THEN IT WENT AWAY. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE WAY TO DEALER. WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT I LIMPED THE CAR INTO THE DEALER WITH NO EMERGENCY BRAKES WORKING. THANKFULLY WE WERE ALL OKAY AND I DID NOT LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE AT LEAST $1,700 TO FIX IT AS THE WHOLE REAR AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE SEALS BLOWING OUT AND LEAKING OUT ALL OVER THE PADS. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR BRAKES, BRAKES AND MORE BRAKE ISSUES. I THINK THE E BRAKE BEING ON MAY HAVE CAUSED THE SEAL TO BLOW OUT THEN THE AXLE AND BRAKES JUST MELTED. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLES BRAKE DESIGN. IF THESE SEALS ARE KNOW TO BE BAD BY NISSAN THEY SHOULD AT LEAST RECOMMEND REPLACING THEM SO OWNERS CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES AND AVOID ACCIDENTS,

PULLING OUT OF MY APARTMENT'S PARKING LOT WHEN STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN BY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AS IF IT HAD NO PRESSURE. AS THE PEDAL HIT THE FLOOR A LOUD GRINDING SOUND CAME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF, STARTED IT BACK UP AND EVERYTHING WORKED OK. WENT DOWN THE STREET A LITTLE MORE AND BAM HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME IN TRAFFIC. IF AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER HAS THIS ISSUE THIS CAN AND WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OR PEOPLE. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FELL TO THE FLOOR AND I HEARD A GRINDING/CLICKING NOISE. THE TRUCK WAS ALMOST UNABLE TO STOP BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I PULLED BACK INTO THE PARKING LOT AND INSPECTED THE BRAKE ASSEMBLIES AND MADE SURE THERE WAS FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR. I CYCLED THE IGNITION SYSTEM A FEW TIMES AND STARTED BACK UP. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR THE TIME BEING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPLIED BRAKES , BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND METAL TO METAL SOUND HEARD IN FRONT END BRAKES, I STOPPED NOTICED BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ON . I TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED .THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO WORKING NORMAL . THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS INVOLVING THIS SAME SITUATION AND IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED ARE KILLED. I HAVE MADE APPOINTMENT WITH NISSAN DEALER. VEHICLE MILEAGE IS 40,000. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN TITAN 2004 THAT I HAD FOR 3 YEARS. THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS EVERYTHING WAS FINE, BUT THEN MY BRAKES WOULD MAKE THIS WEIRD SOUND WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I COULD NOT HIT THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY BECAUSE IT WOULD FEEL LIKE IF THEY WERE LOCK.. I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND TURN ON AGAIN ,AND THE PROBLEM WOULD FIX IT SELF. AFTER A COUPLE OF TIMES THAT IT KEPT DOING THAT , I DECIDED TO TAKE TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SENSOR LIGHT NEEDED TO BE RESTED AND THAT THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE SOLVE. A COUPLE AMONTHS LATER IT'S STARTED DRIVING IT AGAIN. IT WOULD MAYBE HAPPENS EVERY OTHER MONTH . I USED TO ALWAYS TAKE THE TRUCK TO GET MY OIL CHANGE AT THE NISSAN DEALER SHOP AND SINCE THE DOS COURTESY CHECK THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CV AXLES NEEDED SOME WORK DONE BECAUSE SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THEM. OF COURSE THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME A LOT, SO I HAD TO SAY NO. NOW I HAVE A TRUCK THAT NEEDS TO HAVE WORK DONE AND VERY EXPENSIVE. NOW I CAN SEE OIL LEAKAGE AT THE WHEEL BEARING. MY TRUCK DID NOT PASSED INSPECTION THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF THAT PROBLEM, SO REGISTER MY TRUCK AT ANOTHER CITY AND IT PASSED CUZ THEY WERE NOT CHECKING THOSE THINGS. I HAVE HEARD AND READ COUPLE OF THE SAME ISSUES THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE BACK CV AXLE SEALS AND BEARINGS. WHY WOULD I BE SPENDING MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT I WOULD LEAST EXPECTED. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THIS ISSUE BE INVESTIGATED. I GOT 2 KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF 3 AND I'M VERY CONCERN ON THEIR SAFETY. IF NISSAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS , THEY NEED TO TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE WOULD VIOLENTLY SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ROTORS WERE OUT OF ROUND. THE BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED AND THE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE RECURRED A FEW MORE TIMES AND THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED AND UNKNOWN BRAKE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR. HE STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY SEVEN TIMES FOR THE BRAKE FAILURE WHERE THE ROTORS WOULD BE RESURFACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

THE BRAKES ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 1.5 YEARS. NISSAN ADMITS THERE IS A PROBLEM, AND PROVIDED AN UPGRADE KIT THE CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR. I HAVE THE UPGRADE KIT THE LAST 3 TIMES THE BRAKES WERE CHANGED, AND THEY STILL GO BAD. THIS MORNING WITHOUT WARNING THE CALIPER DOVE IN THE ROTOR, AND I NEARLY WENT' THRU AN INTERSECTION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE VEHICLE NOW. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BRAKES ON THESE TRUCKS. WHEN WILL THE DOT MAKE NISSAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? *TR
