| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 nissan titan and nissan has had me and many others in on several different occassions to repair the front brakes. The front wheel would shake when you apply the brakes. Just before the warranty ran out they said they had a fix. They were going to replace the rotors because the were to small for the truck. When i took it in for the repair, the third repair, the had come up with another fix they said and it would fix the problem. I did notice that the brake pedal felt funny. I don't know how to describe it, but it almost felt like it was applying more pressure to the rear brakes to relieve the pressure on the front end. Anyway, since that time i have a company vehicle and i have only put 16k miles on the truck and the front end is shaking again when i apply the brakes. The more the speed and the harder you apply the brakes the more it shakes. Also, i noticed that when the brakes were shaking the front end to shake, something in the front end pops, like when you top a hill. It has gone away every time they have attempted to fix the brakes, but when the shaking starts back so does the popping. I'm not to concerned about the popping, but i am concerned about the shaking. The last thing, two of the three times they attempted to repair the brakes, they have also turned the rotors. Rotors can only be turn a couple of times and have to be replaced. I feel they cheaped out on the repair by patching the problem instead of repairing the problem. I wish you guys would look into it. Whether it's me or someone else, somebody is going to be driving this truck 10 years from now. I do know if you're going 65 or 70 miles per hour and you hit the brakes, it will get your attention. I don't know how safe it will be if nissan is not made to really fix the problem. |
