Filed Dec 17, 2006 · Brakes · 15,100 miles · CA

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 was driving a nissan 2004 armada going to north ca and in va had an accident and hit a guard rail brakes where shudder and the steering wheel was shaking hard I took it to nissan dealer ship and a special tech came to see it and ruled out that the accident was not caused by the brakes so I lost out on 2000 then while I was taken my SUV to dealer for oil change they changed brakes now if there was nothing wrong with the brakes why did they change them it is not fare what these people did and doing to me now im having problems with my steering but I think it has something to do with the brakes damage think of it brake shudders and it affects the steering who's there to say that it wont take out the rack and tie rods inner and outer so I took it to the dealer and they told me that nissan cant cover because I had the accident how do they know it was not there before the accident.

I received letter from nissan corp about recall about "brake judder'. I went to the dealership for regular maintenance and to complete recall servicing but for three months the parts were unavailable. I continued to get my vehicle serviced at the nissan dealership. In addition to the judder recall my brake system was replaced at a later date but the parts for the recall were still unavailable. I had my tire rotated and balanced at regular service intervals. After three months, the brakes were squeaking again, when I took the vehicle in for regular servicing the technician said that I needed new tire after only 40,000 miles of regular travel. They found that the vehicle was in poor alignment, something that should have been noted from my many service visits to the dealership. I called the corporate office of nissan to check the information about the brake judder, to see if it could cause alignment problems that would lead to this kind of abnormal wear. There is no proof available from nissan that the alignment issue is related to the brake judder problem. I request a thorough investigation into what the effects of the brake judder issue would have on alignment of my vehicle. The fact that problem remained unfixed on my vehicle for several months because of unavailable parts is a problem that should be addressed without delay.

I purchased a nissan titan in april 2004. May 2004 with 1000 miles on it, it was in to have brake calipers replaced. I drove it 23 miles and the calipers went out again. Since that time it has been in 4 other times with a terrible shaking in the steering wheel when brakes were applied, worse at higher speeds. One of those times nothing was done about it. The last 3 times rotors have been turned and brake pads replaced (x2), and then this last time the front rotors were replaced, the back ones turned, brake pads replaced and bolt casings changed. The truck only has 17,500 miles on it. It lasts for approximately 3000-5000 miles before the "brake judder " begins. I pull a horse trailer with this truck and I worry of the safety of this as the problem is definitely worse with a load on the back. Other then pulling the trailer this truck has no stress with only city and highway driving.

I bought my nissan titan brand new december 2003, matter of fact I was the first one to buy one in my county. We've had all sorts of interior problems with this vehicle since we bought it. Front door bolts coming lose, weather striping kept coming off, headliner attachment keeps coming off, plastic knobs coming off. June 2004 - 6 months ( 6,548 miles) after I had my titan, I had my brakes checked and all the fluids topped off. February 2005 - 8 months (16, 025 miles), vehicle started to judder in the steering wheel when braking and making noise, front brakes warped. April 2005 - 2 months later (17, 836 miles) my steering wheel started juddering when braking, front rotors were warped and my front brake pads were to thin. They replaced my brakes at that time. June 2005 - 2 months later (20,000 miles) I lost all brakes in the pouring down rain. Luckily I was in a parking lot and not driving on a highway where I usually drive. Front end sounded like it was going to fall off. Had to have the truck towed to the dealer. They have had the vehicle for 14 days and it still is not fixed. I notified nissan north america with no results as of yet.

Where to begin. Problems started from the time we took possesion. The ignition wouldn't release, back to the dealer. The breaks shudder, back to the dealer twice!! Rotors warped. Power windows work on some of the time. Steering pulses at speeds over 70. It's just been one thing after another. The biggest is the brakes though, now affecting the whole front end and safety.

It started about a month after taking ownership on a new 2004 titan..at that time it had about 1500 miles on it ..the steering wheel started a shudder upon applying the brakes ...I finally had the time available to get it to the dealer and was told that they would turn the rotors..I couldn't accept that quick fix and insisted on the updated rotors.. They complied and that was yesterday..today the dealer called me and told me that the new rotors arrived at the dealer today..I am scheduled for replacement in 5 days from now when I found the time to get to the dealer.....hope it takes care of the problem.......
