Heard a poping sound from the steering column. The steering would just spin and wouldn't turn the wheels. Took into to my mechanic who found that the steering wheel gear had stripped from the steering column. Both gears were round and loss total control of the steering.

I purchased a new Nissan Titan from alan kurth dealership minot, nd. May of 2005. Within the year I asked several times about the "strange" braking experience. I noticed some vibration from the front brakes that also vibrated the steering column. I was told that this was normal on a Titan heavy duty truck . I am not a mechanic and took their word. That dealership went out of business shortly thereafter and the only other Nissan dealer was in bismark, a long way from where I lived at the time. I did take it to that dealer, bismark Honda-Nissan-Hyundai in July of 2006 in response to a recall about another issue. Nothing was mentioned by them about any problem with the brakes. The truck was not driven that much, currently has less than 30,000 miles and the vibration has become worse and worse once I brought the vehicle to florida last fall to the point that I took it to my mechanic. I was told then after they inspected the truck on April 23rd. 2009 that Nissan had identified a major problem with the brakes on this model called brake judder he suggested I call Nissan to see how they were managing the problem. I telephoned Nissan consumer office on April 24th and spoke with andy who opened a case file and that number is 6477694. He said I would have to begin with the local dealer to have them inspect the truck so I contacted maroone Nissan in ft lauderdale and took the truck in on April 27, 2009. I dealt with the assistant service manager. When they had finally finished with their inspection he told me that "Nissan would not provide a courtesy repair since they had initially extended the warranty expired in 2008. I had researched the issue and found the following that Nissan failed to provide. 1. The issue was sent out to all Nissan service managers on March 16, 2005. The repairs were not made prior to my purchase. 2. They were directed to supply a "legible photocopy" about the warranty extension. They did not. This was detailed in Nissan advisory nnawb/05-01.
