Brake Disc Pads Problems of 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.

Brakes are the problem, we have taken the titan to the dealer four times , all they do is turn the rotors and put new pads. We only had 26,000 mi. On the vehicle. As a result while vacantioning in north FL. \orida, trying to avoid a deer , slamming on the brakes they whent down to the floor we swerved into a tree. $2000. Later a rental car. The other day I tried stoping for a red light went right through. Try exsplaning that to a cop.

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.

At 5000 miles my steering wheel began to shake every time I applied the brakes. Dealer made temp. Repair and told me it would happen again. Nissan has not come up with perminate fix. Seem rotors or pads are warping.

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.

2004 Nissan titan with excessive steering wheel shudder upon brake application. Had rotors and pads replaced once at 10,000 miles and has re-occured at 15,000 miles. Waiting for Nissan recall.

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.

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.

I purchased a 2004 Nissan armada on June 18,2004. This is my third Nissan vehicle. In August, I started feeling that, when braking, my car violently pulls to one side, and steering wheel shakes. I couldn't believe that my brakes were bad after only 2000 miles. Also, my front windows squeak and do not go up smoothly. After bringing the car in for service, they told me that my rotors were warped. The rotors were cut and new brake pads installed. (bay ridge Nissan invoice #174068 sept. 17,2004). They also replaced 2 window regulators. On Nov 8, 2004 at 3750 miles my brakes failed completely. I was stopped at the light when all of a sudden my pedal went down to the floor. When I pulled up and tried to stop, all I heard was metal on metal noise and the car won't stop. When I brought the car to the dealer, I was told that this is a ongoing problem. After they checked the computer, I was told that my power brake booster failed. (bay ridge Nissan Nov. 8,2004). Originally, I was told that the part is on local backorder, but week later they notified me that it is on national backorder, and nobody knows when I'm getting my car back. Every mechanic tells me that there is a problem with brakes on these trucks, and nobody knows how to fix it. Even after this problem is fixed, I don't feel safe driving this truck. If the same problem occurs on the highway, I would not be able to stop the truck. Nissan customer service was useless and cannot provide any solutions.

Brakes too small for truck. Brake pads wear out and rotor warp every approx. 3,000. 00 miles. We have been told by the dealer it will be another 6 to 12 months before Nissan will provide a repair kit to the dealers that will resolve the problem. In the meantime the brake pads rub against the rotors, even when the brakes are not being used, and the rotors warp because of the heat.

I have a 2004 Nissan armada this is a major safety issue "break problems " I have taken my car in to get the breaks jobs 10 times in 40,000. Miles this is a serious problem! to this day I continue to have problems with the breaks and I am scared to drive the car now. I can't continue the of risk driving this car knowing that it's not safe.

My truck has 8,000 miles. 1st the main computer system malfunctioned and I had to wait a week to be replaced. Then my brakes started shaking so they grinded down my rotors. Then the brakes started shaking again so they replaced the rotors and brake pads. Then two months later the brakes went again so they replaced the rotors and brake pads again. Then on a cold day I went to open my car and the door handle broke so I couldn't close my door. The dealer replaced it. Now three weeks later the door handle broke again and my rear window wiper stopped working. Nissan tells me that they have a national back order on the door handles.
