AT 4345 MILES, BRAKE ROTORS OVERHEATING DUE TO NON-FULL-RELEASE OF CALIPERS CAUSING ROTOR WARP, JERKING IN STEERING WHEEL, DAMAGE AND OVERHEATING OF TIRES, LOSS OF CONTROL ON WET PAVEMENT EVEN AT SLOW SPEEDS, DAMAGE TO STEERING COMPONENTS DUE TO SHAKING CAUSED BY WARPED ROTORS, BLUE OVERHEATING MARKS ON ROTORS. I RETURNED THE TITAN TO THE DEALER AT 6:30AM., CALLED BACK AT 2:15PM AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD EITHER HAVE TO LEAVE THE TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP OR PICK IT UP DUE TO NON-AVAILABILITY OF PARTS. THIS WAS OVER 2 MONTHS BACK. STILL NO PARTS, SHAKE IS STILL CONSISTENT WHEN USING THE BRAKES AT ANY PRESSURE AND SPEED.*AK
