Description of the problem | I am the original owner 2005 titan le. I have experienced a braking issue 8-10 times. While driving in normal traffic conditions on the freeway traffic begins to slow, i applied the brakes. The entire truck began to violently shutter, the red brake icon on the dash came on, and the brake peddle went almost all the way to the floor. I had to pull to the right to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me. The harder you push the more the brakes seem to fail and the truck shakes harder. The only thing that fixes the issue is to stop the truck and turn it off and restart it. Everything goes back to normal as if it didn't happen. This has happened to me 8-10 times since owning this truck as new. I have read many incidents online in blogs etc. That are almost exactly as i have described. The dealer said it was an isolated incident. I whole heartily disagree with them. This is an issue that is ultimately going to cause injury or death. This has happened to me at freeway speeds, normal residential speeds (25mph) and everywhere in between. Last incident occurred on 11/8/2017. |
