Filed Nov 5, 2007 · Brakes · 30 miles · FL

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.

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.

Brakes are the problem, we have taken the titan to the dealer four times , all they do is turn the rotors and put new pads. We only had 26,000 mi. On the vehicle. As a result while vacantioning in north fl.\orida, trying to avoid a deer , slamming on the brakes they whent down to the floor we swerved into a tree. $2000. Later a rental car. The other day I tried stoping for a red light went right through. Try exsplaning that to a cop.

2004 nissan titan, severe brake judder began occurring at approximately 15,000 miles. Dealer has stated that no recall is in effect and that I am responsible for repairs. Brake judder in a turn is causing difficulty in maintaining control of the vehicle. Repairs to brake rotor and pads do not resolve the problem. Vehicle is unsafe to drive on curvy roads.

I have a 2004 nissan quest which has given me problems since I bought the car. The numerous recalls and the constant changing of brakes. We have had to change the brakes more than six times. The back brakes are constantly going out. They have a burning smell and I have taken it to the dealership on several occasions with no assistance. Since I could not get an answer as to why my brakes were getting hot. I then took the car to aaa for a motor vehicle diagnostic inspection. They stated that the motor vehicle had two cracked motor mounts, both of lower control arms were defective, which wore out two sets of tires,and I had other repairs that were necessary to make. Aaa also stated that there was something going on with the brake calipers, which could be the reason that I was having to change my brakes every six months. I told the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and they did not try to remedy the situation. I also contacted nissan who have not responded to my request for them to replace the tires on my vehicle. I'm still trying to reach them.
