| Description of the problem | Steering wheel shakes when applying brakes. A few days later a loud grinding noise in the front end. Took the 2006 titan to service center and was told needed total front end brake job. The brake pads went thru the rotors. A few months later there was a recall on the truck for something else. Took it to the dealer for the recall and was told the front brake system had to be replaced. Two to three months after i just had it done. I told the service manager that i just had it done a few months ago. I asked to see the problem and they would not let me in to look at the problem myself. They just noted that i refused service. I took the truck back to the service station that did the work (because the dealer said it was not covered). There was nothing wrong with the brakes at that time like the dealer told me. Now 8/21/2014 at 53000 miles the front end brake system is gone again. I applied the brake and the truck would not stop. I had to go off the road so i did not hit the vehicle in front of me. I owned 6 nissans and never has this kind of problem before. I do not understand why nissan is waiting until someone gets killed to fix this problem. I was also told that the truck does not stop because the abs system kicks in and does not let the truck stop suddenly when needed. As of right now i can not drive the truck until i can afford to get the brake system repaired again. The truck is not safe to drive. Wake up nissan. Do not let someone die because of defects. |
