| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 nissan armada with 7000 miles and the brake rotors seem to be warped already. I have a cousin who has a 2004 titan and has had plenty of brake problems also. When braking,especially at higher speeds, the steering wheel has a lot of vibration. After doing research on the internet there seems to be a lot of other people with the same problem. But nissan has yet to recall these vehicles with these problems. There are service bulletins out to replace the front and rear rotors and brake pads but after reading many of the complaints posted by other people they only want to turn the rotors which is not the solution. I would like to know what my rights are and how to get nissan to correct the problem right the first time. *jb |
