Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2006 Nissan Titan

I was rotating my tires and noticed gear oil on the inside of my rear wheels. The gear oil has seeped out of a failed oil seal and covered my brake pads and rotor. This oil could cause decreased braking ability and increase the likelihood of a failed brake related accident.

I have owned my 2006 Titan crew cab since 2008 and have had multiple brake service requests performed for "brake judder". Previous solution was to turn the rotors back to true until rotors can no longer be turned and new oem rotors are acquired that will start the whole process over again. This is a temporary fix for the larger problem. Brake rotor size and material selected for the 2006 Nissan Titan model is inadequate to provide enough surface area and venting for proper heat dissipation to prevent warpage of the oem brake rotors. This brake rotor turning service was performed 10,000 miles ago, 5,000 miles ago and the vehicle is currently in need of the same service. A vehicle with less than 50,000 miles that is driven less than 12,000 miles per year should not have had 3 brake service issues for the same manufacturers defect. My personal solution (because Nissan has failed to recognize this as a defect in need of a recall) is to upgrade the oem brake hardware with aftermarket performance slotted and dimpled rotors and ceramic brake pads to provide for adequate heat dissipation and prevent rotor warpage.

Rear axel seals leak oil onto the rear brake pads.

Bought 2006 Nissan Titan in November 2006. Immediately had vibration in steering when I applied the brakes. Dealer refused to change the rotors. I had the vehicle in 3 times. By 15000 miles, vehicle would vibrate violently when braking was applied. I had to change the front rotors and pads. At 27000 miles, the same has occurred. Again, dealer would not changed the rotors. They told me had I came in earlier, they would have. This is the 3rd set of front rotors. Vehicle shakes violently, and seems out of control when braking in tight turns, such as on/off ramps of highways.

The vehicle had warped front rotors from day of purchase. The steering wheel shook from side to side during test drive after applying the bake at about 50 to 60 miles per. I had to take it back to Nissan dealer to replace the brakes and rotors under warranty the truck had 632 miles at the time. That was in 2006. Just recently I had the brakes replaced again the pads were not worn out completely but the rotors were warped at 33,673 miles. I paid another Nissan dealer to have pads and rotors replaced for $600 that seem to be the minimum charge.

I noticed my steering wheel would shudder when braking. I have 12,500 on the vehicle. After calling the dealership what up they said they get back with me. . .
