2004 le 4x4 offroad-big tow package with 62,900. Miles. I was leaving my apt. Made a right turn, started to increase speed to 25-35 MPH when a clunk noise came from my rear end. I stop to check it out and did not notice anything out of place. Started back up and it continued. So I went straight to the dealership. After they looked at it, they show me metal peaces and how the gear was skipping. There recommendation was replacement of the whole rear end. I'm an easy driver, have not pulled any loads with my truck. 60 months 60,000 miles is the warranty. I'm just outside that by close to 3,000. I would hope this helps, nissan needs to look into this matter as I have net work and found that this has been a problem with 04-06 tatin.

I purchased a 2004 nissan maxima on december 2nd of 2006,from a used cars dealership on belair road. The following saturday I had to take it back to the to the dealership to be fixed with the first problem/ ended up taking it back to the dealership for this same problem 4 times.at the time I purchased this car, it had a factory warranty of 30 days or 1000 miles.their was a problem every month with this car. I explained to her all I wanted to do was trade for another one just like it. By this time the warranty had expired and I couldn't afford the extended warranty amount all at one time. As the warranty begin to end, the transmission was messing up shifting roughly,jumping into gear either when slowing down, pulling off, or even when parking. I told this to the service man at the dealership and because of the miles on the car they wouldn't touch it. I took the car to have the transmission flushed at a service station and I was told a flush wouldn't help this car needs a transmission. Before I had talked to the general sales manager about the problem and he stated their was nothing that could be done, because the warranty had expired. I explained to him that I have found a lot of defects with this car, that wasn't found before being sold to me. I asked several times about them assisting me in getting it repaired or trading for an other max.now I have a car sitting at home I can't drive that I still have to pay for and its not right. The gm from a koons ford location did respond to my complaint, but I haven't heard anything yet on what he's going to do.I have called/sent him messages and no response yet.I need my car fixed or another one. I'm soliciting for assistance through this direction. It's been 3 weeks noe the car has been parked, I don't have $2500.00 to get this transmission fixed.

While driving at approx. Speed of 30 MPH and applying brakes there was a scraping noise and light braking. I traveled approx. 1 mile further and applied brakes with little braking action and scraping noise heard again. Turned engine off and checked vehicle. Re-started engine and all function appeared normal. A week later same action accrued again. I took vehicle to dealership where the ABS system was found to be bad. Replaced delta stokes sensor and reprogrammed ecu.

On 10/12/07 I was driving my 2004 nissan titan on the interstate. My brakes totally failed and I had to coast and use the transmission to stop. Their was minimal braking when I had the pedal in the floor and the truck shook violently. Upon restarting the car the brakes seemed to work. I contacted nissan and was told after telling the person what happened that my computer had a glitch. It took her like two seconds to come up with how to fix it over the phone. I thought it was really funny that what they called a glitch could have killed me and others. They supposedly fixed it when I took it in. From research this sounds pretty common with this truck. I have been told that resetting of the computer would fix it. If it is that simple then nissan should do a recall and reset them all before someone dies or is seriously injured.

Third brake failure! Brake lights come on and brakes are grating/grinding. Not the same issue as before- no shaking. I was not able to brake. If I turn off the car and wait 15 min.- the issue is resolved. The dealership has looked at it and noted "no problem". Unless it occurs when they have it, they cannot solve it. The last failure occurred on the highway to illinois and lasted 20 minutes. Had to restart the car several times before the waiting period worked and the brakes worked again. This is not poor brake maintenance. This is an inherent problem with the '04.

The steering wheel shakes violently when you depress the brakes. I had the front aligned and the brakes checked. The autoshop can't remove the bolts holding the pads on both front wheels. Now I hear a loot of tapping noise plus the continued shaking of the steering wheel when I depress the brakes.

Truck now has 50,000 miles on it. First noticed the rear differential leaking about a year ago. Had nissan dealer seal it again along with the 3rd brake kit replacement. Noticed a high pitched whine when accelerating and at high speeds. Took it back to nissan dealer who checked out rear differential and said it needed to be replaced. Truck came with big tow"package. We towed a 3500 lbs. Boat locally during the summer, but it made a once-a-year-round-trip , towing boat between freehold and bassett, va.

High speed braking caused the vehicle to have a hard to control braking of brake pads from the vibration from the rotors. The vehicle shook when braking and hard to control, the brake pedal pulsated, and the steering wheel shook violently. Rotors have warped, makeing it hard to turn in the rain without sliding. Police officer gave me a ticket for the front left tire crossing the middle divider line in a down hill right turn. Couldn't control vehicle in the turn due to the braking system but the police officer wouldn't believe me and wrote me a ticket anyway. Nissan put on upgrade rotors they said. Still have the same problem, it just took a little longer for it to occur again. Brake pads were put on at my expense.
