Description of the problem | Purchased 2005 nissan titan truck on 2/1/2005. On 4/21/05 with 6,000 miles, truck shook/shimmied when applying brakes. Under warranty, nissan dealer replaced front pads and resurfaced the front rotors. On 6/23/05 with 11,000 miles, truck again shook/shimmied when applying brakes. Still under warranty, nissan dealer replaced front and rear pads and rotors again! On 1/14/08, needed to replace the crappy goodyear wrangler sr-a (p265/70r18) tires that came with the truck (also had 3 flat tires) even though i rotated them regularly (less than 40,000 miles). Today, the tire center indicated i needed new brakes. Called nissan dealer and am again taking the truck into service to correct and get new rotors/pads. By the way, the warranty on my truck for this repair runs out on 2/1/08. Going forward, i will have to be responsible to pay. This stinks! How come there hasn't been a recall and corrective procedure implemented? $37,000 vehicle! |
