1 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 11/08/2017

I am the original owner 2005 Titan le. I have experienced a braking issue 8-10 times. While driving in normal traffic conditions on the freeway traffic begins to slow, I applied the brakes. The entire truck began to violently shutter, the red brake icon on the dash came on, and the brake peddle went almost all the way to the floor. I had to pull to the right to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me. The harder you push the more the brakes seem to fail and the truck shakes harder. The only thing that fixes the issue is to stop the truck and turn it off and restart it. Everything goes back to normal as if it didn't happen. This has happened to me 8-10 times since owning this truck as new. I have read many incidents online in blogs etc. That are almost exactly as I have described. The dealer said it was an isolated incident. I whole heartily disagree with them. This is an issue that is ultimately going to cause injury or death. This has happened to me at freeway speeds, normal residential speeds (25mph) and everywhere in between. Last incident occurred on 11/8/2017.

After the repairs, the contact heard metal grinding when the brakes were applied. He returned to the dealer and they stated that the brakes were fine. The contact claims that the dealer waited for the warranty to expire so that he would have to be responsible for the repair costs. The VIN and mileages were unknown.

3 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 09/23/2006

I have a 2005 Nissan Titan. Recently, the brakes failed on the vehicle and I was unable to stop. I had the vehicle towed to the local Nissan dealership. I was called two days later and was told that there is no problem with the brakes and that there was nothing more they could do for me because they cannot recreate the problem and the vehicle computer did not record any fault codes. I've asked them to tow the vehicle to another dealership for a second opinion and they refuse to do it. I've been told that its my responsibility and that if the brakes fail again, to bring it back into the dealership. I've called Nissan directly and they are not offering any help, they stand behind what the dealership has told me. In my opinion, nobody should get behind the wheel of this vehicle. It now seems like I have no choice but to drive the vehicle until it happens again.
