| Description of the problem | Although i haven't had an "incident" yet, i worry about it everyday. My 2005 nissan titan has the worst brakes that i've ever had in a vehicle. The brake pedal goes to the floor on every stop. Sometimes while the brake pedal is depressed it "skips" and it feels like the brakes release then grab again. This truck was meant to tow up to 9,000lbs, but when i towed about 4,000 and tried to stop, i almost ran into someone. The brakes are horrible without towing and beyond acceptable towing any weight. Since that happened, i have yet to tow anything else, i'm afraid the truck won't stop. I've taken it to the dealer multiple times and they acknowledge the brakes aren't "what they should be" but there's nothing that they can do because nissan hasn't addressed the problem. I'm hoping that this problem could be locked into. The dealer also told me that the nissan armada has the same brakes and the same problems. Thank you as far as the incident date, i'm just using the first date that i can remember realizing the problem. |
