Service Brakes Problems of Nissan Titan - part 2

I went in to get a truck on July 11th. . . They had to get the truck started by jumping the battery that they said would be replaced. While rushing us without offering a test drive insurring the truck was sound and mechanically stable. We then drove off in the 2004 Nissan Titan and all the lights on the dash came on shortly after. Vrd abs and brake as well as check engine light. The brakes then went out on us as we reached out home. The next day we informed them of what happened, they said it was just water on the brakes to give it a day and see what it does. It happened again and when we took it back they said the mechanic was gone to come back. Thats when we noticed the cara registration was for another vehicle and started to wonder if they had taken the car to emmisions at all. Check engine light was om since we left the lot. Before our first payment I spent $900 on parts had roadside called 4 times and replaced the battery. The truck didnt last to the first payment. Completely lost all braking power. This truck was taken to a mechanic that told us it would not have passed emissions when we got it because the history on the check engine light showed it was only cleared and not addressed.

Break sign appears on dashboard while driving the vehicle. Strange noises come from brakes and breaks does not apply properly. It happened many times in the past and I pull over safely, turn the engine off and turn the engine on break sign is gone and breaks start working ok. Then it happens again and again. Very unsafe to pull the car on side of busy highway, then turn the engine off and on.

I own a 2005 Nissan Titan pickup which I drive mainly in the winter due to my job requiring me to go into work in every snow storm. I have only 128,000 mi on my truck. The truck sits in the summer to save on gas. After the truck sat for three months this summer had to change a leaky oil pan from rust. Once that was fixed I took it out to ready it for inspection. While driving came to a stop sign brake pedal went to floor. Tried pumping pedal and had no brakes at all. Engaged the e brake and had very little yet next to no stopping from that. Ended up constantly pumping brakes with no secondary circuit engaging. I continued to go through 2 more stop signs before I was able to coast to a stop. Luckily it was later at night and there wasn't many cars on the road or I would have been in a bad accident. After getting the truck towed home I had pulled the left front inner fender liner out to discover 2 junction blocks with 3 lines coming in and going out. All three lines had burst at the same time causing me to loose all brakes. I took a picture of this so everyone can see. Nissan should provide an extra covering or something to keep the road salt from getting to these lines because as these trucks get older I am sure people will experience the same thing as me but, may not be as lucky to avoid a bad crash.

Brakes went out and pedal went to the floor. Abs brakes came on. Not a hard brake at all. Couldn't stop in time pulling into parking space and hit fence pole damage to front bumper center and passenger side fender. This could of been life or death situation if on road way if had to stop for traffic or pedestrians.

Our 2016 Nissan Titan xd was idling on a level carport with the parking brake engaged. No one was in the cab of the truck. I was unloading tools from the back of the truck. After about 5-7 minutes, while I was standing in the bed of the truck, the engine revved and the truck began to roll very slowly backwards. It rolled over a small concrete bump (intended to prevent cars from rolling off the carport), down about a 6 inch step down, across another 10 feet or so of concrete and into the brick wall at the back of the carport. I did not have time to safely jump down, open the truck door and engage the brake. The total distance the truck rolled was less than 10 yards. The tailgate of the truck was damaged badly when it hit the brick wall, but it helped to stop the truck. When I got into the truck to drive it back up onto the parking area of the carport, the parking brake was still engaged. I disengaged it to shift into drive. We have had issues in the past with the engine revving and extremely hard shifting between gears. There is also a heavy smell of exhaust inside the cab of the truck very often. The smell is strong enough to cause headaches. We usually have to crack the window when this happens. It happens intermittently, but often. I am not sure if what happened today was a brake problem, engine problem or transmission problem, but this is an extremely concerning safety issue.

On street, traveling between 30 and 40 mph needed maximum braking, after pushing extremely hard on brake peddle the vehicle did not respond, foot seemed to go to floor, minor slowing with one break (right side)momentarily locking up about five feet from impact, no idea what the cause.

Cruise control will stop when hitting a bump fuel spills out whilst trying to put gas into the truck. Certain times the brakes want work until you put the truck in the parking position.

The tail pipe on a 2 1/2 year old 2012 Nissan Titan prematurely separated at the flange in front of the rear axle. The reason the flange separated was the poor design. The flange is positioned to hold water, dirt and salt inducing corrosion. Once the flange separates the heat from the exhaust melts the rear main wiring harness in less than 100 miles of driving. The melted harness causes failure to the fuel pump circuit resulting in an engine stall situation at highway speed, which results in loss of power steering, power brake assist and anti lock brakes. The affected portion of the rear harness also controls the stop, turn and tail lamp circuits. The failure and resulting damage to the wiring has potential to create an extremely dangerous driving situation.

The truck stalled out no power had to crash into shoulder of road and embankment. Glad we survived the bumpy crash, I just had suspension work done that saved us. We read the ipdm board or ecm relay is bad and causes this stalling to happen. Part number for ecm relay 284b7-cw29.

Emergency brake and rear brakes got covered in gear oil because the rear differential seal leaking. It started spewing all over the place and when I tried to come to a stop it took way longer than normal forcing me to swerve to miss a pedestrian and hitting the curb and a bush. This should be a safety recall because the differential leaking on the brakes is definitely a safety concern.

I recently bought a 2007 Nissan Titan and I love the truck. I was driving along and I started smelling brakes burning, I pulled over and my rear passenger wheel was smoking. I looked on the back side and rear end dope was on the back of my wheel. The wheel seal has went out. Come to find out looks like the rear diffrential has been sealed up before. So, its a problem with the Nissan Titan rear end seals and diffrential seal. It creates a safety hazard getting on the brakes. The wheel could catch on fire.

Attempted to stop while traveling down parking garage ramp. When brake pedal was depressed it went to the floor and the audible sound of the anti-lock brake system (abs) pump cycling. At this point there was no braking power. Pedal was lifted and brakes where applied again. Again, the pedal dropped to the floor and the audible abs pump could be heard. At this point driver had to deiced to crash the car into a concrete column to prevent larger accident into payment booth. Driver continued into a concrete column at approximately 15 - 20 mph and crashed. Airbags deployed. Vehicle had to be towed from scene. After accident, mechanic repairing vehicle informed the driver of technical service bulletin (TSB) 452131 pertaining to this same issue, "antilock brake system (abs) code c1179. Intermittent brake pedal supposedly goes to the floor. Tech has not experienced".

Wheel seal leaking onto rear driver side breaks. Seems to be a issue with this vehicle from postings I have read. Nissan should have a recall to replace since it involves . The brakes getting gear oil on them and not working properly.

My rear axle seals failed, began leaking. It happens to every single Titan, it needs to be recalled. Just search online, nearly every owner has this issue. Nissan needs to do what's right and help people that have their great trucks.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while driving down a hill at approximately 45 mph the vehicle failed to decelerate. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.

When to stop as entered freeway entrance, brake pedal dropped about 1/2 way and no initial brake power. Then vehicle dynamic control kicked in and got limited braking back as vehicle shuddered and twisted slightly. Restarted and worked ok. Also happened July 12. Happened again on 8/17 while towing. Can't trust the brakes!! other times brakes work fine.

Abs system engauged front brakes and pitched front end down abruptly at low speed with a load noise.

They have been making Titan ics since 2004 and there have been re calls due to the trailer brake control circuit failing due to bad body control modules. I believe all Titan ics need to be re called for this issue. My Titan ic will not work with 2 different brake controllers by 2 different manufacturers. Best to not attempt to tow anything that requires a brake control due to this on going problem for any year Titan ic. 2 bad for me it is out of warranty by a few months and the re sale value is very low for all Nissan due to poor quality.

Was driving down the road at 50mph went to slow down and there where no brakes so finally I pulled I've and looked around and oil was dripping out of the axle housing almost a bad situation. Come to find out on the Nissan Titan talk forum there are many many more of these like mine this should defiantly be a recalled item very dangerous.

The manufacturer stated the recall repair and the brake solenoid was unrelated. The contact did not have the solenoid repaired. The failure mileage was 122,000.

Had my vehicle inspected and was told the rear rotors are rusted and flaking away.

Just last Friday (03-15-2013) afternoon,while looking over the truck- I decided to look underneath it to give it a once over. Earlier in the week I had noticed the brake pedal kind of spongy(especially in the morning). I thought there might be a problem with the brakes. To my surprise I found that both rear axles were splattered with fluid(axle grease). I had read that this was a problem with early model Titans. I went into a Titan forum and found there were a lot of folks,that owned these trucks-having the same problem. In the forum there was this very site to report this issue. So thus this writing.

I am an a. S. E. Certified technician, and have discovered the rear axle seals on both sides of the vehicle are leaking , in which can cause fluid to be slung on to brake linings , also if too much leaks can lead to differential lock up .

Axle seal failure resulting in oil on the inside of both rear wheels and oil soaking rear brakes rendering rear brakes useless.

Rear axel seal is leaking for the third time, which can compromise the rear brakes with axel fluid. Nissan made the first repair at 30,000 miles under warranty. I paid for parts and made repairs myself the second time. Now at the third I have contacted Nissan consumer affairs, and they have refused, with no explanation, to help with this repair, even though they issued an internal service bulletin in 2010, to replace the complete axel with bearing and seal. So Nissan is aware that they have an issue with the early model Titans. I guess they are waiting for someone to be seriously injured or die before they address this issue.

The rear axle oil seal leaks onto the rear brakes causing them to not work.

2004 Nissan Titan truck - rear axle seals are leaking so badly oil is getting on the rear brake rotors causing them to be in-operative. This is a very serious problem experienced by many Titan owners as shown with a simple internet search.
