At 13,000 miles, my truck has been to the Nissan dealer 3 times for brake roter problems. The rotors warp and cause violent shaking of the stering wheel when braking. The truck will also pull to the left when braking. This seems extremely dangerous and it is very dissapointing that Nissan hasn't fixed this problem.

Brakes and rotors needed turned at 4. 000 miles and brake pedal going to the floor. . Drivers window not always working. . Antifreeze smell after driving.

Purchased vehicle in August 2004, truck started to shake slightly when brakes were applied at around 7000 miles. Had brakes/rotors replaced at approximately 11000 miles when the shaking made the vehicle unsafe to drive. I am now at 17000 miles and the truck is doing the same thing. Starts off as a slight shutter, and progresses to the point where the steering wheel practically shakes out of driver's hands.

20'04 Nissan Titan on second repair for warped brake rotors. First repair at 5000 miles, and second repair at 7500 miles.

Brake rotors became warped with only 5,000 miles on my 2004 Titan se crew cab. Dealer says have to bring it in for 2 fixes, that they know don't work in the long run, before Nissan will allow them to order the parts for the permanent fix of installing larger heavy duty rotors along with some other parts. This is a very dissappointing reponse from Nissan for a very serious and very common problem. Also, I've spoken with approx. 5 Titan owners and all have the same problem.

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.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. The contact stated when the brakes were applied, the vehicle would violently shake. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the rotors were out of round. The brake pads were replaced and the rotors were resurfaced under warranty. The failure recurred a few more times and the manufacturer issued and unknown brake recall. The vehicle was repaired under the recall but the failure continued to recur. He stated the vehicle was taken to the dealer approximately seven times for the brake failure where the rotors would be resurfaced. The failure continued to recur. The failure mileage was 3,000 and the current mileage was 49,000.

Contact states consumer has two Nissan vehicles and the rotors have been replaced on one vehicle. Also, the other vehicle is in need of replacement's the rotors. The Nissan manufacturer stated that there was a problem within the brake system.

With only 3900 miles on the truck, the rotors are starting to warp badly!! national customer. Service. Says no recall in sight, but local dealer has paperwork on recall coming out?????? the brakes should definitely be better than this for a vehicle that can tow 9400 lbs!! brakes have gone bad, early, w/out towing anything!!!!!.

Approximately four months after purchasing my 2004 Nissan Titan I gradually began experiencing a 'shudder while braking' problem. The problem quickly escalated and became greater and greater. On March 30th, 2005, I took the truck into passport Nissan of marlow heights, maryland for repairs. At this point I learned through the service manager that Nissan was aware of the problem but they did not have permanent repair kit for the problem. My truck was out of service for one day and they returned my truck indicating that they resurfaced the rotors and replaced the brake pads. This procedure was only a temporary solution for the problem. Approximately 4,000 miles later the 'shudder w/braking' problem re-occurred. Just as before the problem escalated and became greater and greater. On July 07th, 2005, I returned my 2004 Nissan Titan to the same dealership for the same repair. On July 12th, 2005, I picked up my truck and discovered that no repairs had been made and the problem still existed. The service manager indicated to me that parts were on order. As of the date of this report, the problem still exist and Nissan does not have a corrective repair kit for this defect. The service manager also indicated that Nissan of America was aware of the problem and that they were working on a solution. To my knowledge there has been no recall for this defect and there probably should be one. The brakes on my truck are terrible and at time appear ineffective, especially in wet weather. In my opinion Nissan has not addressed this problem appropriately. I am aware of other Nissan Titan owners who are experiencing the same problem and none of them have received notification about this defect or anything that Nissan is doing to rectify the defect.

I purchased a 2004 Nissan Titan in November, at about 2,500 miles I noticed a slight shudder when I applied my brakes at higher speeds. The situation deteriorated over the next thousand miles or so until I could feel the shudder when I used my brakes going just a couple miles an hour. The dealership replaced the the pads and machined the rotors which took care of the problem, but let me know that there was a good chance this would occur again. I was told that Nissan had a permanent fix for the problem, but since this was the first occurence I wasn't elligible for that repair.

With 7000 on the odometer the vehicle developed a terrible case of squealing brakes, where Nissan replaced brakes and rotors. Now, with 14000 on the odometer the vehicle has developed terrible shudder of steering wheel when brakes are applied, worse at higher speeds. Dealer has ordered new brakes and rotors for me, waiting for them to come in.

When brakes were applied vehicle did not stop properly. Took vehicle to dealer, and consumer was informed that rotors were warped, and undersized, making it hard to handle vehicle when applying the brakes. Contacted Nissan customer service and they confirmed the vehicle had been manufactured with undersized rotors and brake pads. They would not replaced undersized rotor of pads. They would/and did turn the original rotors and replaced pads with identical undersized pads. While in stop and go traffic brakes became less and less affective possible from over heating.

: the contact stated the brakes became soft and spongy, and then the front end began to vibrate. The dealership determined the rotors were warped and turned the rotors. The problem recurred and the vehicle is currently at the dealership. The contact stated the rotors are not the correct size for the vehicle. Updated 03/17/06.

While applying the brake pedal vehicle vibrated uncontrollably. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the rotors needed to be replaced.

To whom it concerns, I own a 2004 Nissan Titan truck that has a major flaw in the braking system. I seriously think that I will be causing an accident if this problem is not fixed. I've been back to the dealership 3 times to have this problem fixed. They admitt to the faulty brakes sytem, but do not have a permanent fix. I am very concerned for the safety of my family. Please contact Nissan and force them to recall all the Titans and fix this well known problem. I can't believe in the year 2005 it is ok to have thousands of trucks roaming our highways with faulty brakes?.

4000 miles on the truck and the brake rotors are warped causing the steering wheel to vibrate. The brake peddle also pulsates when brakes applied.

Front end of vehicle has terrible vibration while braking caused by overheated and warped front disc brake rotors. Front brakes rotors and pads have been replaced by the dealer twice (at roughly 6,000 and once at 11,093 miles). The replacement rotors at the 11,093 mile service are redesigned rotors intended to fix the recurring problem. At 17,752 miles the problem recurred and the new redesigned rotors had to be resurfaced by the dealer.

Major brake problem new rotors and new brake pads increased the problem now a major pull to center. They turned the rotor on the back brakes.

Warped rotor. Normal use. 6k miles. 2004 Nissan Titan truck. Dealers "fix" is to turn the rotor and make it thinner rather than replacing it with a heaver part.

Consumer complained about a front brake problem. Owner had the rotors and pads replaced after 7,000 miles. When driving, the vehicle shook violently when braking. Owner contacted the manufacturer, and was told that they were aware that the brakes were defective because of a design flaw. The consumer took the vehicle in for service several times but the problem was not fixed.

Same warpage of front brakes. Dealer said all they are doing is turning rotors. If the shudder continues, what happens when the caliper bracket breaks? the caliper spins and tears the brake line loose, wow no brakes. Nisson will be sued if this is not fixed quickly.

Brakes have terrible vibration/shudder. Replace at 5000, 9,000, 15000, & now 20000 miles.

I purchased a 2004 Nissan Titan le in November of 2004. When the vehicle reached a little over 4,000 miles the brakes started to shudder and the steering wheel would vibrate and also the brake pedal. The local Nissan dealership replaced the brake pads and ground the rotors and the problem appeared fixed. After another 2,000 miles of driving the brake pedal had to be pushed further and further closer to the floorboard to get brakes to stop the truck. Then the steering wheel began to vibrate along with the pedal. The truck was taken back to the local dealership again and the rotors were turned again appearing to solve the problem. After about 200 miles the brakes began to fade again. The steering wheel and the pedal have not started to vibrate yet but going with the past history of the problem it should only be a matter of time. I want Nissan to fix the problem immediately. The problem could not only be a safety problem due to no brake pedal when applied but also vibration from applying pedal. Lastly a truck with only 6500 miles should not keep getting the rotors turned over and over.

I have a 2004 Nissan Titan se and it requires new brakes at 5667 miles due to a faulty brake design. The truck shkes excessively every time I step on the brakes. I am concerned this is a potential problem that may cause an accident.

1-knocking sound, sounds like a diesel engine. 2-body & steering wheel vibration at idle. 3-hissing sound when heat or ac is on. 4-rotors replaced 3 times. Still having some problem. 5-when idle in gear (idle drops below 500 steering start to vibrate. 6-vibration on brake pedal. 7-emergency brake not holding when in park.

Nissan 2004 Titan pickup and front brake problems. The brakes are vibrating when you come to a stop. The Nissan dealership describe it as warped rotors on both front brakes. The Nissan dealership said they would temporarily fix the problem until Nissan came out with a permanent fix. As you apply the brakes the steering wheel will shake violently. The consumer has not had the temporary fix done, still waiting on Nissan for the recall notice. The Nissan dealer said that Nissan is working on a permanent fix. Consumer states that when brakes are applied steering is hard to control.

Numerous problems have arisen with my leased 2004 Nissan Titan king cab. Including serious vibration problems that occurred upon braking to the point the vehicle was parked until the dealer finally agreed to at least 'turn' the rotors. Eventually brakes were replaced by dealer 6 months after the initial problem. Currently facing problems including a noise at startup that everyone can hear except the dealer mechanics, an overflow problem with gas tank even though just a few liters have been put in an empty tank. Additionally major problems with driver side door refusing to open from both the inside and outside. Dealer has realigned door numerous times but problem continues. Dealer states the door problem is due to a poor design with a heavy door on inadequate hinges. Occasionally have had to drive while holding door closed. Extremely dangerous considering weight of door. This truck is barely one year old and problems just keep piling up with little dealer support offered.

1 normal driving 2 brake rotor warp (aka brake judder) 3 turn rotors not replaced.

While stopping truck wheel shakes left to right and gets more violent the harder I stopped. Truck had about 4000 miles on it. Took to dealer he replaced front rotors and brake pads it fixed the problem. Now with 6000 mile I notice the same thing starting to happen again. Never had any vechiles brakes fail with so few miles. This must be a defect from factory.

While applying the brake pedal vehicle vibrated uncontrollably. Driver was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer for inspection numerous times. Mechanic determined that the rotors needed to be replaced and replaced them. However, the problem recurred.

I've gone through 3 sets of rotors and brakes in 8 months.

Brakes overheated, causing violent shaking of the steering wheel. This occured 4 times within 14000 miles, leading to multiple fixes by dealer which did not work. This could potentialy lead to a failure of the braking system which could cause a fatal accident.
