1 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 09/07/2012

The vehicle braking began to deteriorate so I checked each wheel, front and back. While inspecting the rear brake pads and rotors I noticed oil on both. Upon further inspection I noticed that the rear axle seal on both sides was leaking oil and it had gotten on the rotors and pads. I replaced both rotors and all pads on the rear, and inspected the rear axle vent which I found plugged. I installed a new vent but the rear axle seals are still leaking and need to be replaced. In doing research on the problem I found it to be common on this vehicle.

2 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2009

I think the brake system in my 2005 Titan is inadequate. The front disc rotors were bent @ 20000 miles and replaced by Nissan for this defect but at 60000 miles, the front disc rotors were bent again. Making stopping this truck hazardous as the steering wheel is shaking violently and it took much farther to stop. I check the disc rotors and the brake pads and they are normal. I contact Nissan but they didnt response.

3 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 06/23/2008

Purchased a new Nissan Titan in 2/2005. Had the front brakes replaced at 25,000 under warranty when began to feel vibration in steering wheel while applying the brakes. Presently I have 57,000 miles on the truck and the same vibration in the steering wheel while applying the brakes is happening again. Took the vehicle to local dealer and they informed me that I needed a updated torque member kit and new front pads and brakes for my truck at a cost of $756. 59 because the truck was out of warranty. The service manager said to take my compliant to the factory. I have called repeatedly to the factory and am still waiting for a call back. Driving my truck is unsafe and I am risking my life everyday I get into it to drive to and from work. My major compliant with this issue is that it is not a warranty issue, it is a manufactured defect in the torque member kit and front brakes and I should not be responsible for the cost.

4 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2008

Purchased 2005 Nissan Titan truck on 2/1/2005. On 4/21/05 with 6,000 miles, truck shook/shimmied when applying brakes. Under warranty, Nissan dealer replaced front pads and resurfaced the front rotors. On 6/23/05 with 11,000 miles, truck again shook/shimmied when applying brakes. Still under warranty, Nissan dealer replaced front and rear pads and rotors again! on 1/14/08, needed to replace the crappy goodyear wrangler sr-a (p265/70r18) tires that came with the truck (also had 3 flat tires) even though I rotated them regularly (less than 40,000 miles). Today, the tire center indicated I needed new brakes. Called Nissan dealer and am again taking the truck into service to correct and get new rotors/pads. By the way, the warranty on my truck for this repair runs out on 2/1/08. Going forward, I will have to be responsible to pay. This stinks! how come there hasn't been a recall and corrective procedure implemented? $37,000 vehicle!.

5 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 12/10/2006

I bought my 2005 Nissan Titan crew cab 4x4 le new in may of 2005. Since then I have had to have my brakes/rotors replaced and resurfaced 3 times do to sever brake vibration. The first time was at 7500 miles, second was at 15000 miles and now at 25000 miles. This is horrible and very dangerous. The brakes are obviously undersized for a vehicle that is advertised to tow 10,000 lbs, and I am having these problems without ever towing anything.

6 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2006

I had a heavy pulsating of the steering column and brake pedal during routine braking I informed my dealer of this at 8500 miles and was informed this is normal. At 9,000 miles I was insistent that they look at my truck and they had to replace the front brake rotors, pads, torque member, replaced rear brake pads and machine the rear rotors, I was informed that this would need to be done about every 6,000 to 9,000 miles because the braking system is too small for a truck this size.

Now my problem have with Nissan corp. Is that I was own the road with my 2 children and husband sounds scary to me, if they new that this was a problem why not do a national recall or even call the customers who just purchased a new truck within that month. But no Nissan is trying to cover there butts and not put it out to the public but I tell you one thing Nissan corp. Is looking for a big fat legal matters with the customers.

10 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 04/12/2005

Purchased a new 2005 Nissan Titan 4-door pick-up truck in February 2005. Both the manufacturer as well as the dealership knew of an existing safety problem regarding the braking system of both 2004 and 2005 Titan pick-up truck models, but failed to alert myself of the problem. I had to threaten to sue the dealership to provide and install the manufacturer's suggested replacement parts to resolve the issue. The replacement parts were installed less than 60 days ago, and the problem has resurfaced. When I spoke with 2 separate Nissan corporation representatives, they provided me false information, and they told me they considered the matter closed and if I was not satisfied then I should contact a lemon-law attorney! I demand the manufacturer and the dealer to refund my money entirely! they fraudently sold me a vehicle that is not safe to be on the road. Additionally, 2 additional problems regarding the driver's power seat and the radio have surfaced and the both the dealer and the manufacturer have done nothing to fix these problems as well.

12 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 12/16/2004

I have a 2005 Nissan Titan fully loaded. I have had the brakes changed twice. The driver side window does not operate properly. Nissan was aware that the brakes on the truck had problems and never told me when I bought it. Nissan was aware that the driver side window is also defective. There is a TSB issued for both problems. I have been told that there is no fix for the brakes, that I will have to continue to bring the truck in about every 3000 miles and have the rotors and pads replaced. I was told Nissan is looking for a fix. The driver side window is the same situation. Nissan corporate has told dealerships not to fix the window issue, they have no resolution to the issue. The window may stop in the down posistion or in the up position. In my case it has done both and finally it would not go up at all. I had to drive with the window open for a day until I could get it to a dealer to be looked at. The dealership has told me there is no fix but they would try there best.
