| Description of the problem | Purchased a new 2004 nissan titan le truck on 10/23/2004 and it has since had to have new brake pads and rotors 3 times in 7 months with only 19281 miles driven on the truck. The first replacement was at 4662 miles on 12/13/04, the 2nd replacement was at 8416 miles on 1/26/05, 3rd replacment was at 15755 miles on 4/26/05 and 4th replacement is needed now. When the pads and rotors start failing, very harsh steering vibrations occur when the brakes are applied. This has a great potential for causing serious accidents especially in inclimate weather. I have complined to the dealership where i have had it serviced all 3 times so far and i have also contacted nissan's customer service department and have yet to recieve any information that they have a fix for this problem except to continue to replace the pads and rotors every 2000-3000 miles, but what happens when the warranty runs out at 36000 miles. This problem should be addressed and not left to cause a serious accident or death. I know i am not the only person having problems with the brakes because if you google search nissan titan brake problems on the web you will find numerous forums of people discussing the same problems i am having with my brakes. Please help with this issue before it is to late and someone is killed. |
