When in motion, vehicle brakes occasionally fail. Dynamic control off light, brake light, and slip light turn on at same time that brake pedal loses all resistance and is easily pushed all the way to the floor. Brake power significantly reduced and need to be actively pumped to slow down and come to a stop. At a stop, vehicle can be turned off and back on then warning all lights will go off and brakes operate as normal. Dangerous situation when attempting to slow down, especially at higher speeds. Occurs 6-7 times per year.

The brake lights signal turns on and a light grinding noise can be heard and brakes go out. I have to stop for a few minutes and turn off my truck. After a few minutes, I turn on the truck and the brake lights turns off and my brakes start working again. This has happened more than twice. Thank god that the times it has happen there has been hardly any traffic. Although, one day it happened on the freeway so I calmed down, release the gas pedal and cruised to the next exit and pulled into a gas station. All this time the brake fluid reservoir is full so after turning off the truck and turning it back on again, that solves the problem. This is very scary because we've been trying to take vacations on the truck and I don't feel safe driving it like this, especially with my three kids in the back. Another issue that I have is the airbag light just stays on and flashing. I've tried having it reset but it doesn't work. We have a 2007 Nissan armada also and it has the same issues as my Titan. We thought that by buying Nissan we wouldn't have any issues, but we were wrong.

Takta recall I have recently had many malfunctions with my truck. Shift interlock, ipdm, brakes are locked. Transmission wont shift, no brake lights, stereo does not work, ac system not working properly, back doors don't want to open, air bag light flashes backed truck in drive way. Got out for a few minutes. Got back in to move it and it would not go in gear. Then I noticed all of these other problems.

The brake light in my vehicle came on while I was driving home on the highway 235 (MD) road. When I applied the brakes it made what seems to be grinding noise. The brakes went soft luckily the I was near a shoulder and avoided a near rear end with another vehicle. I was close to a gas station. I pulled into the gas station with the grinding noise. I went outside to see if there were an brake leaks or any brake issues and noticed nothing. I turned on the truck and the brake light was gone and the brakes were normal. I took the truck to my dealer and sheehy Nissan stated it was the power brake vacuum booster. Nissan dealer stated they had a notice on this issue. Due to safety concerns. I had it fixed - well $1,428. 45 later. The sad part - this truck only has 15647 miles and lightly used. Seems that there are similar issues with the brakes on Nissan Titans on the NHTSA website. Invoice of the services performed are uploaded. Did remove personal information per instructions on the NHTSA website.

Brake pedal goes to the floor unexpentently; intermittent condition;; while driving any speed and depressing on brakes; pedal will go to the floor; red brake light comes on; makes grinding noise when problem occurs; shut off key and restart; light goes out and brake pedal resumes normal position and noise goes away.

On the way to work with heavy traffic, I lightly applied brakes to slow down, I felt loud grinding and shaking and brake light came on. Tried to stop the car and pressed brake pedal but it was pushed down all the way to the floor. Pumped pedal numerous times , it stopped. The speed was about 15 mph when it occurred and I was able to stop the car. Shut off the engine and restarted the engine, it looked everything turned out to be normal, acts like nothing happened. Called Nissan company, but they did not have any recall on this issue. I goggled it and found out many people having the same issue but Nissan company did not do anything on this. This is very dangerous. If I was driving with high speed, I could run into other car since brake not working momentarily.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. While attempting to stop the vehicle, the braking system malfunctioned. The brake pedal extended to the floorboard and the stopping distance increased. The brake sensor light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 145,000.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. While driving 35 mph, the brake warning light illuminated. While approaching a stop light, the brake pedal failed when depressed. In addition, the vehicle made a loud grinding noise when the brake pedal was depressed. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the delta regulator failed and needed to be reprogrammed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 161,000.

Pulled out of the gas station by our house and all of a sudden my brake light came on and a weird noise would sound anytime I would tap my brakes . Pulled over restarted the car and everything was fine again and still is !.

Applied brakes and brake light came on. Pedal was soft and made a grinding sound. Brakes still worked but not very well. Cleared the problem by turning off engine and restarting. This has happened before. I video taped with my cell phone before resetting. Had this checked several years ago and dealer reset something. He said it may or may not fix the problem. It didn't fix the problem. He said the cost to replace the faulty part would be approx. $900. 00. I feel this should be a recall as it is a potential hazard if braking had to be done suddenly at a high rate of speed.

Brake light came on when brakes were applied. Pedal was soft and made a grinding noise. Brakes worked but not very well. Took a video of it with my cell phone. This has happened multiple times. I took it in to the dealer several years ago and they reset something. They said it may or may not fix the problem. It didn't. They said the repair would cost $900. 00. I think it should be free. This is a potential hazard. Turning truck off and on fixes the problem but not permanently.

The abs light, vdc light, slip light and brake light illuminated and the brake pedal went to the floor accompanied by abs actuator sounds. The braking effort did not slow the vehicle effectively. Recycling the ignition switch returned the brakes to a satisfactory condition. After my wife drove the vehicle home, I scanned the abs for fault codes: c1179. I am an ase certified master automobile technician with 28 years of experience. This device measures the travel of the brake booster and is a necessary component of a vehicle with stability control (Nissan calls it vehicle dynamic control [vdc]). This vehicle has done this 4 times in the ten years that I've owned it. The frequency of failure is very random, duplication of the fault is extremely difficult and it occurs without any warning at all.

Driving my 2007 Nissan truck down residential road approaching a stop sign when the brake light came on. I tried to stop at the stop sign and my brake pedal went straight to the floor and grinding noise came on similar to sound of abs brakes when activated. I had no stopping power and went through the stop sign. Luckily there was no other vehicles coming as my wife and children were with me. This is definitely a serious safety concern and near miss. I've researched this when I got home and found 1,000 of other similar cases. When will the NHTSA take action and have Nissan fix the delta stroke sensor on these vehicles before someone gets killed?.

Brake pedal became mushy. Brake light and abs light came on. Coasted to a stop, turned vehicle off and restarted. Lights went off and brakes worked properly again. This is approximately the sixth time this has happened in this truck. Brake pads and rotors are new. It first began happening approximately six months ago. This is dangerous and Nissan should have recalled this vehicle due to this issue, which they have been aware of since 2004.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while traveling approximately 30 mph, the brake light sensor illuminated and upon pressing the brake pedal it sank to the floor. The contact had to apply force to ensure the vehicle stopped. The contact was able to turn off and restart the vehicle which reset the computer and the sensor. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop who diagnosed that the anti-lock brake system needed to be reset. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who diagnosed that the master cylinder needed to be replaced and that the abs actuator was making the loud noise but it was unclear if it needed to be replaced at the moment. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 10v072000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

My 2004 Nissan Titan has had numerous instances of the brake warning light coming on while driving at different speeds. When this happens, the pedal goes to the floor and the brakes make a loud grindind sound. Several times I have had to go onto the shoulder of the road to avoid rear ending the vehicle in front of me. Once I get the vehicle stopped I can turn the engine off and the brakes reset and work correctly. However, these incidents are occuring more frequently now and sometimes I have to restart the engine several times to get the reset. This is a very critical safety flaw and I have read many other Titan owners having the same problem. Nissan needs to recall these trucks and fix the problem before there is a serious injury or a fatality. I bought this truck new and it has been serviced at proper intervals.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that the brakes stopped functioning while driving 65-70 mph. The contact was able to regain control after the vehicle was pulled to the side of the road and moved 900 yards. Also, the brake light warning indicator was illuminated. Once the vehicle was restarted, it operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the vcu chip and the vacuum canister malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred twice. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

I have been experiencing a brake / abs problem with my 2004 Nissan Titan. On several occasions as I was driving, the brake light would come on and as I attempted to push the brakes under normal braking conditions, I have almost not been able to stop the truck in time. It felt as though the abs system is activating and brake pedal is fluctuating, vibrating and grinding. I brought it to the dealership on 7/17/14 they said it was a programming issue. I paid about $100 for them to upload a new program. They told me the new program didn't take and then told me the delta sensor in the brake booster was most likely the issue. But unfortunately the the entire brake booster assembly must be purchased since they don't sell the delta sensor separately, and the cost is $950 to replace. I called and filed a complaint with Nissan consumer affairs the next day 7/18/14. Today 7/24/14, I finally received a call back from Nissan consumer affairs letting me know that they were unwilling to help me with this problem. I was told that because it¿s out of warranty, Nissan north America will not pursue any further action in regards to my case & considered the matter closed.

When applying brakes with out a warning ,brakes made a spring popping noise and total brake pressure loss,brake light came on ,after pulling over and checking for oil leaks or loose parts nothing was found when re starting vehicle brake light reset and brakes work normal.

While taking a exit ramp at approximately 45 mph brake light came on and when the brakes were applied due to stopping traffic pedal went to the floor with a grinding sound. I had to swerve to the right to avoid the car in front of me and went past 2 cars before stopping in the emergency lane. I turned the engine off and when I restarted the light was gone. Reported this to the Nissan dealer . . . . They stated they have never heard of it before. . . . . There are hundreds of reports on the internet and also filed with NHTSA. According to the dealer they will do nothing until a recall. I certainly hope no one dies from this as the class action lawsuit that will follow will be very embarrassing to NHTSA, dot, and Nissan as you have all been made very aware of this. . . .

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan titian. The contact stated that the brake warning light illuminated when the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle would not stop. The contact would shut off the engine and once restarted, the vehicle would resume normally. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic, who performed a diagnostic but was unable to generate a failure code. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that the vehicle would need to be diagnosed before any repairs would be performed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000.

While driving the slip, vdc and brake lights all illuminated on the dash. I stepped on the brakes and the brakes went almost to the floor. The truck eventually did stop but I came close to hitting the vehicle in front of me. I have read and researched thoroughly about this issue and it is well documented that this is a known issue. There is currently a class action lawsuit in California regarding this issue. This has happened to me approximately 4 times over the past year where I have almost completely lost my brakes. Nissan needs to make this right. I believe the problem may be a delta stroke sensor that is housed within the brake booster. I have not replace this yet as I am not sure if this will fix the problem and it is quite expensive. This is very unsafe and there are many complaints regarding this issue out there.

When driving down a residential road, the brake light illuminated for no apparent reason. Then, when slowing to turn, brakes shuddered violently and did not feel as if they would succeed in stopping the vehicle. I slowed enough to turn, then proceeded slowly to make 2 more immediate turns before reaching my house. The brakes shuddered and were not 100% effective each time the pedal was pressed. Fluid levels are normal, brake components look good. After turning truck off and back on, problem was not able to be replicated. However, after doing online research, this appears to be a known issue that the manufacturer has as yet refused to address, even though it could lead to collisions and fatalities.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. The contact was driving 45 mph when the brake warning light illuminated. The contact abnormally depressed the brake pedal into the floorboard but the vehicle failed to respond. The anti-lock braking system also activated erroneously but was the only functioning brake system on the vehicle at the time. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised the contact that the computer needed to be reset. The computer was reset however failure recurred three weeks later. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and offered to assistance with the contact with the cost of the computer reset. The current and the failure mileage was 106,771.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that a tire detached from the vehicle ahead of his. The contact depressed the brakes but the vehicle would not come to a complete stop and the contact crashed into the vehicle preceding his. The brake warning light was also illuminated. There were no injuries. A police report was filed. The manufacturer and dealer denied any assistance with repairs to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 83,000.

Leaving work at 5:00 pm. Started truck and got to stop sign everything was fine. Turned left onto major street and when approaching first stop light brake peddle went almost to floor. It felt really spongy and made a grinding noise. Had to run up on curb to avoid going into intersection. Car did come to a stop and I noticed brake light was on. I turned truck off and started again. Brakes were back. Did a search for this description of failure and found several threads with tons of trucks having the same issue. It seems to be a bad delta sensor. Nissan knows about this but does nothing. Hopefully it doesn't take a serious accident for them to do something about it. Just search for Nissan Titan delta sensor and you will see all the vehicles with problems. I was referred to this site by Nissan. They said they couldn't do anything until they were told to by NHTSA.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that the brake sensor light illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer, who repaired the sensor but the failure recurred. When the failure occurred, the vehicle failed to start. The failure mileage was 61675.

Brakes minimally effective without prior brake light indicating a problem. Brake pedal chattered. Noise produced associated with chatter from engine compartment. Brake light illuminated after problem started.

Just driving down the road the brake light comes on in the dash and the brake pedal goes to floor. You have very little brakes and it makes a grinding noise. If you turn off the vehicle it goes away. It has happened three times in the last year or so. Im taking it to a Nissan dealer next week and they say its going to cost me 100 dollars to reprogram the computer. I have read hundreds of reports of other people having the same problem. If its that big of a problem shouldn't there be a recall on this and Nissan have to pay for it?.
