2004 Nissan Titan

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE VEHICLE COMMENCED TO ROLL FORWARD. ALTHOUGH THE SHIFT INDICATOR SHOWED VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY IN NEUTRAL. CONSUMER STATED, THIS CONDITIONS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OTHER TIMES, AND THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.*AK....CONSUMER CLAIMED AFTER TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION, DEALER AVOIDED TO FIND THE CAUSE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. CONSUMER FELT IT WAS THE WORST VEHICLE HE EVER OPERATED. *AK

TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE ON THE FRONT BRAKES BECAUSE OF SHUDDERING AND EXCESSIVE WEAR. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE REP THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE CAMPAIGN ON THE BRAKES BECAUSE THEY WERE UNDERSIZED FOR THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIR KIT WOULD BE ORDERED TO REPLACE THE ROTORS, CALIPERS, AND PADS. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY NISSAN OF ANY DEFECT IN THE BRAKES. IT TOOK 2 MONTHS TO GET THE PARTS IN BUT NOT THE PARTS THEY HAD DISCUSSED. THEY TURNED THE ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED REPLACED A CONTROL ARM AND REPLACED THE PADS. MAKING THE ROTOR THINNER AND REPLACING THE PADS IS NOT GOING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY INDICATED ANOTHER "REPAIR KIT" WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN APRIL OR MAY. MEANWHILE I CONTINUE TO DRIVE WITH THE BRAKES BEING ADMITTEDLY UNDERSIZED FOR THIS VEHICLE.

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF OUR 2004 NISSAN TITAN ON 8/31/04, THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS BEEN OUT OF ALIGNMENT. VEHICLE WOULD IMMEDIATELY VEER TO THE RIGHT WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS RELEASED. AFTER FOUR ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE THE ALIGNMENT PROBLEM,THE NISSAN DISTRICT TECHNICAL SPECIALIST (DTS) REMOVED THE VEHICLE FROM AN AS MANUFACTURED CONFIGURATION BY GRINDING DOWN THE RIGHT CASTER ECCERTIC ADJUSTMENT BOLTS.THIS MODIFICATION WAS A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT TO NEAR SPECIFICATIONS WHILE NEGATING THE NEED AND COST INVOLVED TO IDENTIFY AND REPAIR THE ACTUAL PROBLEM PROHIBITING THE FRONT SUSPENSION FROM BEING ALIGNED PROPERLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE ORIGINAL AS MANUFACTURED CONFIGURATION. SUBSEQUENT TO THIS MODIFICATION, THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS STILL NOT WITHIN THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AND SHAKES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH. THE DEALER HAS TRIED, WITHOUT SUCCESS, TO ELIMINATE THE VIBRATION WITH WHEEL AND TIRE REPLACEMENTS. THIS SHORT CUT TYPE FIX DONE BY THE NISSAN DTS HAS AFFECTED THE INTEGRITY OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION, PUT THE VEHICLE IN AN UNSTABLE DRIVING CONDITION AND CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE ROAD.*AK

I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE IN NOVEMBER OF 2004. WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED A LITTLE OVER 4,000 MILES THE BRAKES STARTED TO SHUDDER AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE AND ALSO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND GROUND THE ROTORS AND THE PROBLEM APPEARED FIXED. AFTER ANOTHER 2,000 MILES OF DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED FURTHER AND FURTHER CLOSER TO THE FLOORBOARD TO GET BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK. THEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE ALONG WITH THE PEDAL. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AGAIN APPEARING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AFTER ABOUT 200 MILES THE BRAKES BEGAN TO FADE AGAIN. THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE PEDAL HAVE NOT STARTED TO VIBRATE YET BUT GOING WITH THE PAST HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM IT SHOULD ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME. I WANT NISSAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. THE PROBLEM COULD NOT ONLY BE A SAFETY PROBLEM DUE TO NO BRAKE PEDAL WHEN APPLIED BUT ALSO VIBRATION FROM APPLYING PEDAL. LASTLY A TRUCK WITH ONLY 6500 MILES SHOULD NOT KEEP GETTING THE ROTORS TURNED OVER AND OVER. *AK

WITH 7000 ON THE ODOMETER THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A TERRIBLE CASE OF SQUEALING BRAKES, WHERE NISSAN REPLACED BRAKES AND ROTORS. NOW, WITH 14000 ON THE ODOMETER THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED TERRIBLE SHUDDER OF STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. DEALER HAS ORDERED NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS FOR ME, WAITING FOR THEM TO COME IN.*AK

POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK UNDER RIGHT (PASSENGER-SIDE) AXLE-TO-WHEEL AREA. ALSO, A FRONT-END ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 CREW CAB INTO THE DEALER SERVICE SHOP ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS TO TRY AND GET THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK REPAIRED/STOPPED. THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN THE THEIR SHOP THEY HAD MY TRUCK FOR OVER A MONTH WAITING ON A NEW POWER STEERING HOSE PART THAT APPARENTLY WAS IN SHORT SUPPLY. THE LEAK HAS NOW STARTED AGAIN AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN AGAIN... ADDITIONALLY, EVER SINCE THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW, I HAVE ASKED THE SHOP TO FIX THE ALIGNMENT 4 TIMES AND IT'S STILL NOT RIGHT. THE STEERING SEEMS STRAIGHT UNTIL HIGHER SPEEDS (60+ MPH) THEN I HAVE TO KEEP THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT TO KEEP THE TRUCK STRAIGHT. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 7600 MILES ON IT SO FAR. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED ONCE ALREADY. BASED ON ALL OF THE BRAKE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ, I'M SURE I WILL HAVE TO GET THEM REPAIRED AGAIN SOON. WHEN SHOULD I TRY TO USE VIRGINIA'S LEMON LAW? *AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATING, STEERING WHEEL AND VEHICLE VIBRATING. THE VEHICLE ALSO PULLED TO THE LEFT WHILE BRAKING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO TURNED THE FRONT ROTORS. THE PROBLEM RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. *AK THE ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 4000 MILES DUE TO WARPING. *NM
