| Description of the problem | Premature failure of front brake rotors. Front brakes shudder and vibrate extremely bad when brakes are applied. Dealer will refinish rotors and install new front brake pads for a temporairy repair. I have driven 9400 miles total on this vehicle with three set of front brakes replaced. Have not towed any trailer or vehicle with it to cause failure. Braking system is insufficient for this vehicle and titan trucks must be recalled for the safety of the owners of this product immediately. This is a severe safety issue that can cause an accident and injury to it's occupants. Nissan will not acknowledge this problem to it's owners and the nhtsa must step in and have them recalled at once.*ak |
