| Description of the problem | My 2004 nissan titan has under 6,000 miles on it when it, like many others, started experienced brake judder/failure, especially when braking from highway speeds. Reported to the dealer, confirmed judder, and was added to nissan's list for replacement parts as they become available (1 set/2 weeks nation-wide, i'm told). Returning home from work on a wet highway, under moderate braking for an accident ahead, the brakes locked, sending the titan sideways into a barrier. I've driven accident-free for nearly 20 years and never experienced total loss of control as in the titan... It simply would not stop and i was travelling well under the posted speed limit in moderate traffic. I have no doubt had the dealer replaced the brakes at the first complaint or nissan installed adequate front brakes from the factory, the accident would have been avoided.*ak |
