| Description of the problem | I bought a nissan titan new in may of 2004. Problems with the brakes were immediate. The dealer has replaced the brakes, rotors, etc. A couple of times due to defects. They now say that the brakes are out of warranty so i am doing it on my own and often. This past weekend i almost hit another car because i could not get the truck to stop. I went and bought another set of brakes and rotors. While changing them, noticed that the brakes calipers were cracked and rusted. Had truck towed to nissan dealer, waiting on a decision from them to see if they will fix them. Truck is under warranty, and extended warranty that i purchased from nissan. These were suppose to have been replaced by the dealer before, but i don't think they did. I am paying a truck payment every month for a truck that basically sits in my driveway because we are afraid to drive it. We never know if the brakes will work. Nissan doesn't seem to care, even though they have admitted that there is a problem with the braking system design. I fear that someone will be killed if nissan doesn't step up and put an end to the brake issue. |
