Brake Disc Rotor problems of the 2004 Nissan Crew

The steering wheel shakes violently when you depress the brakes. I had the front aligned and the brakes checked. The autoshop can't remove the bolts holding the pads on both front wheels. Now I hear a loot of tapping noise plus the continued shaking of the steering wheel when I depress the brakes.

High speed braking caused the vehicle to have a hard to control braking of brake pads from the vibration from the rotors. The vehicle shook when braking and hard to control, the brake pedal pulsated, and the steering wheel shook violently. Rotors have warped, makeing it hard to turn in the rain without sliding. Police officer gave me a ticket for the front left tire crossing the middle divider line in a down hill right turn. Couldn't control vehicle in the turn due to the braking system but the police officer wouldn't believe me and wrote me a ticket anyway. Nissan put on upgrade rotors they said. Still have the same problem, it just took a little longer for it to occur again. Brake pads were put on at my expense.

2004 Nissan titan, severe brake judder began occurring at approximately 15,000 miles. Dealer has stated that no recall is in effect and that I am responsible for repairs. Brake judder in a turn is causing difficulty in maintaining control of the vehicle. Repairs to brake rotor and pads do not resolve the problem. Vehicle is unsafe to drive on curvy roads.

2004 Nissan armada severe brake problems only 13,000 miles has been in for service 6 times with same problem and unable to fix. Fear for the safety of myself and children.

I purchased a Nissan titan in April 2004. May 2004 with 1000 miles on it, it was in to have brake calipers replaced. I drove it 23 miles and the calipers went out again. Since that time it has been in 4 other times with a terrible shaking in the steering wheel when brakes were applied, worse at higher speeds. One of those times nothing was done about it. The last 3 times rotors have been turned and brake pads replaced (x2), and then this last time the front rotors were replaced, the back ones turned, brake pads replaced and bolt casings changed. The truck only has 17,500 miles on it. It lasts for approximately 3000-5000 miles before the "brake judder " begins. I pull a horse trailer with this truck and I worry of the safety of this as the problem is definitely worse with a load on the back. Other then pulling the trailer this truck has no stress with only city and highway driving.

Nissan's titan brakes, especially the front disc, failed 3 times. The rotors would build up heat, then shimmy under braking. Nissan retro fit an upgrade kit with larger, vented front disc and a different brake pad. They also machined the rear rotors and installed new pads. This was at 19954 miles. Now the vehicle has 32200 miles and the brakes grind under load. The dealer has inspected the vehicle and states that this is normal. The grinding is felt through the pedal and is able to be felt by the passenger via the floorboard. It is also audible. The dealer states that the pad material may be changed, but that the shimmy would return. The grinding indicates additional wear on the rotors, leading to more recurrent and more costly repairs. The fear of a failure is unacceptable.

Third major repair of major brake components.

Been going on for the last year or about every few thousand miles. Rotors on the front of my 2004 Nissan armada brakes are terrible and very dangerous. My wife is afraid to go in my truck. Brakes were replaced once and then cut again once. Soon I will be back again(acting up again).

I bought my Nissan titan brand new December 2003, matter of fact I was the first one to buy one in my county. We've had all sorts of interior problems with this vehicle since we bought it. Front door bolts coming lose, weather striping kept coming off, headliner attachment keeps coming off, plastic knobs coming off. June 2004 - 6 months ( 6,548 miles) after I had my titan, I had my brakes checked and all the fluids topped off. February 2005 - 8 months (16, 025 miles), vehicle started to judder in the steering wheel when braking and making noise, front brakes warped. April 2005 - 2 months later (17, 836 miles) my steering wheel started juddering when braking, front rotors were warped and my front brake pads were to thin. They replaced my brakes at that time. June 2005 - 2 months later (20,000 miles) I lost all brakes in the pouring down rain. Luckily I was in a parking lot and not driving on a highway where I usually drive. Front end sounded like it was going to fall off. Had to have the truck towed to the dealer. They have had the vehicle for 14 days and it still is not fixed. I notified Nissan north America with no results as of yet.

I will be on my 5th brake job shortly and I am still awaiting rotors, pads, calipers for the front as well as the rear. It seems that nissian north America should be required to fix all of it's vehicle's problems since they stated they have corrected it on the 2005 and noe the 2006 nissian titan trucks.

I have a 2004 Nissan titan 4x4 pickup and have been having steadily increasing problems with my brakes. They started vibrating at about 5,000 miles and continued to get worst. I brought the truck in to a Nissan dealer to get them worked on after the steering wheel began to shake really bad when brakes were used. The service writer stated Nissan was working on a recall expected in June. He had the rotors turned, did a fix kit on the calipers, and put new pads on. The are working fine now but I am afraid it is just a temporary fix. They really need to be investigated before serious problems began happening. Thanks.

Have 04 armada and had the rotors turned at 7000 miles, and just found out that I need another rotor and brake job at 14000 miles. Contacted dealership and first person I talked to denied there was a problem and said it would not be covered under a warranty-even extended. Second person was much nicer but said that they still won't be able to "fix" the problem for now. Have also taken truck in for driver side window rattle and passenger side door squeaking twice and has yet to be fixed. Dealership says that they cannot hear or "find" a problem, I don't think that they even checked it out.

Mar 2004 I purchased a 2004 Nissan titan. At 7000 miles I began having violent vibrations with braking. I retirned to the dealership and they replaced them and stated the calipers needed reinforncing with a special kit. Two months later, I experienced the same problem and the dealership did another front brake replacement. Every three months I have had the brakes replaced, and last month they replaced the rotors and the brakes. I am concerned that in the past 14 months I have replaced my brakes 4 times. This is quite extreme. The point of my complaint is to not have to complain after someone in my family dies. I love the truck, but I am worried the truck is unsafe and I have asked my family not to ride in it until this matter can be resolved in some way other than simply replacing the front pads.

It started about a month after taking ownership on a new 2004 titan. . At that time it had about 1500 miles on it . . The steering wheel started a shudder upon applying the brakes . . . I finally had the time available to get it to the dealer and was told that they would turn the rotors. . I couldn't accept that quick fix and insisted on the updated rotors. . They complied and that was yesterday. . Today the dealer called me and told me that the new rotors arrived at the dealer today. . I am scheduled for replacement in 5 days from now when I found the time to get to the dealer. . . . . Hope it takes care of the problem. . . . . . .

I was driving a Nissan 2004 armada going to north CA and in va had an accident and hit a guard rail brakes where shudder and the steering wheel was shaking hard I took it to Nissan dealer ship and a special tech came to see it and ruled out that the accident was not caused by the brakes so I lost out on 2000 then while I was taken my SUV to dealer for oil change they changed brakes now if there was nothing wrong with the brakes why did they change them it is not fare what these people did and doing to me now im having problems with my steering but I think it has something to do with the brakes damage think of it brake shudders and it affects the steering who's there to say that it wont take out the rack and tie rods inner and outer so I took it to the dealer and they told me that Nissan cant cover because I had the accident how do they know it was not there before the accident.

Safety concern regarding the front end. I've had to take my truck in for vibration of steering wheel and front end when slowing down at stop signs, lights, or parking. The vibration is only when slowing down and it feels like it radiates towards the rear end right before the complete stop. I've had to take my truck in for 4 times due to the front end. Three, because of the vibration and once in Dec. For red fluid dripping and getting all over the bottom and side of truck while coming back from a christmas trip about 7hrs away. I was told it had something to do with the rack and pinion. That was not good news to hear especially since we had driven back a few nights ago in the snow. Now, April 2005 I still have the same problem for the fourth time with the extreme vibration of the front end while braking or slowing down. I need to be inconvenienced again when I take my truck in for a check and leaving it behind several days and be without a car. The other problems are the fact that the two front windows of the truck do not always go up when the automatic button is used. It seems that the windows begin to go up then just slide back down. This has been serviced more than four (4) times with still the same problem occurring to one of the windows. It is an inconvenience when the window does not go up when it is raining or cold wind blowing while driving and my kids are at the back seat.

My front wheels and steering wheel shudder when I am braking at medium pressure.

I bought my armada in oct 2004 and it was in for repairs by Nov 2004, the front end/brakes would violently vibrate while attempting to stop, the rotors along with several other major components were replaced which temporarily fixed the problem. By the beginning Feb 2005 my armada was back at the dealership for the exact repairs which again will temporarily fix the problem. I was advised by nmac that this is a problem they are aware of and they are "working on a remedy", so for the mean time, my armada sits in my garage until Nissan come up with a "remedy" for this problem, I hope they expedite this process before tragedy strikes.

Bought car in 2004, a month later every time consumer applied brake pressure the front end shook. Sometimes the brake could be all the way to the floor. Vehicle was taken to dealer to be serviced, and a couple months this started again. Took the vehicle be serviced again, they put new brakes on, and again vehicle was hard to stop and still vibrated. This has supposed to be fixed three times already.

The Nissan titan started shimmied after 5 weeks from purchase date. It was taken in for service and discovered that the brakes were bad and a pin needed to be replaced. Following the pin replaement, the brakes were still bad and the shimmied continued. I was told by the service advisor that brake pads were needed. The pads were ordered - during the interim the brake rotors were turned. Three weeks after this the brake light came on and continued making a beeping chime to alert of the brake malfunction, it ws taken in for service once again and I was advised by the service advisor that the pads were again worn and the rotors needed to be turned again. This was done, however, upon picking up the titan from service, the brake light was still on and the shimmying was not gone. Now I have to take the vehicle in again. I feel this is unjustified - and would like to complain. -.

Where to begin. Problems started from the time we took possesion. The ignition wouldn't release, back to the dealer. The breaks shudder, back to the dealer twice!! rotors warped. Power windows work on some of the time. Steering pulses at speeds over 70. It's just been one thing after another. The biggest is the brakes though, now affecting the whole front end and safety.
