| Description of the problem | I bought a nissan titan crew cab, new, in 2004. In june of 2006 the brakes had a complete failure and went all the way to the floor without stopping the truck. This happened several time on my way to the dealership. The nissan dealership stated the problem was that the software needed upgrading. The saleman also noted that they have had problems with the breaks in the nissan titans and armadas. They upgraded the software. The process was called " misc reprogram vdc with update" which i had to pay for. They fixed the issue for that occurence. The breaks worked until yesterday, dec 13, 2006 when the breaks did the same thing, causing me to run off the road to avoid rear ending into another car. I did not read in the owners manual anywhere , where it stated i must bring the truck in for a computer software upgrade to make the brakes work appropriately. The truck is at the nissan dealership now to figure out the problem. *nm |
