- the contact took the 2004 Nissan Titan to the dealer in san antonio, TX for service because he could hear noises coming from the driver's side area. The dealer stated that brake line sheared off the firewall and was rubbing and hitting against the firewall and air conditioner line. They fixed the failure by repositioning the brake fluid line and reattaching it to the firewall. The contact stated that there wasn't any prior warning before failure. Updated 02/22/07.
3'rd brake line rupture. All the connectors under or around bottom of frame appear rusted. I'm getting afraid to drive it. It seems these lines should have been made from a component that would not rust. I can't be the only one with this issue.
