| Description of the problem | The nissan titan started shimmied after 5 weeks from purchase date. It was taken in for service and discovered that the brakes were bad and a pin needed to be replaced. Following the pin replaement, the brakes were still bad and the shimmied continued. I was told by the service advisor that brake pads were needed. The pads were ordered - during the interim the brake rotors were turned. Three weeks after this the brake light came on and continued making a beeping chime to alert of the brake malfunction, it ws taken in for service once again and i was advised by the service advisor that the pads were again worn and the rotors needed to be turned again. This was done, however, upon picking up the titan from service, the brake light was still on and the shimmying was not gone. Now i have to take the vehicle in again. I feel this is unjustified - and would like to complain. -*ak |
