TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V459000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WIRING HARNESS. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE SRS LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE WIRING HARNESS ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BUT ALSO STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED. THE CONTACT DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM THE DEALER AND CONTACTED THEM AFTER SOME TIME. THE TECHNICIAN THEN ADVISED THAT ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST WOULD HAVE TO BE PERFORMED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE BECAUSE THE PART HAD ARRIVED AND WAS SENT BACK.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO AVOID HITTING THE REAR END OF ANOTHER CAR WHILE IT WAS STOPPED TO MAKE A TURN. WITHOUT WARNING, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE ABS UNIT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE PEDAL ACTION CONTINUED UNTIL I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. WHEN STOPPED I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND IT WAS AT THE MAX LINE ON THE RESERVOIR. AS A MECHANIC, I LATER CHECKED THE VEHICLE FOR CODES STORED. IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE CODE "C1179" INDICATING A POSSIBLE DELTA STROKE SENSOR/SIGNAL FAULT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITH THIS TRUCK. LUCKILY, THE FIRST TIME, NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. I REALLY AM CONCERNED THAT THIS TYPE OF FAULT COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE ANY OCCUPANT(S) IN EITHER VEHICLE OR POSSIBLY A PEDESTRIAN. IT MAY PROVE TO BE FATAL IN ANY CASE. ONE POSSIBLE FIX COULD BE TO ALLOW THE ABS UNIT TO BE TURNED OFF WHEN CODE "C1179" OCCURS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I FIRST HEARD A "WHINE" OR "HOWL" COMING FROM THE REAR END 2 YEARS AGO, WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME I NEED A COMPLETE REAR END ASSEMBLY AT THE COST OF 4000$. I COULD NOT AFFORD THAT, AND THEY SAID YOU COULDN'T REBUILD THE REAR END, BECAUSE NISSAN WOULDN'T RELEASE THE PARTS FOR IT. I DROVE ON IT FOR 2 YEARS BEFORE IT WENT OUT ON ME ON THE 21ST OF APRIL, 2012. IVE READ UP ON HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS, ABOUT THE REAR ENDS ON NISSAN TITANS GOING OUT, AND NISSAN NOT HAVING A RECALL. *TR
