Nissan has acknowleged that the brakes on nissan titan are inadequate. This causes the rotors to warp under even the lightest use. They told me that the demand for the replacement parts is very high, therefore the remedy is to go the dealership, have the rotors turned twice before they will order parts. I asked to order the parts right away without turning the rotors first and they declined. Meantime, I am driving a brand new truck with 6000 miles on it with warped rotors. I do not feel that I am in imminent danger however this is a braking problem which in my opinion is of utmost importance.

At 13,000 miles, my truck has been to the nissan dealer 3 times for brake roter problems. The rotors warp and cause violent shaking of the stering wheel when braking. The truck will also pull to the left when braking. This seems extremely dangerous and it is very dissapointing that nissan hasn't fixed this problem.

At 4345 miles, brake rotors overheating due to non-full-release of calipers causing rotor warp, jerking in steering wheel, damage and overheating of tires, loss of control on wet pavement even at slow speeds, damage to steering components due to shaking caused by warped rotors, blue overheating marks on rotors. I returned the titan to the dealer at 6:30am., called back at 2:15pm and was told that I would either have to leave the truck at the dealership or pick it up due to non-availability of parts. This was over 2 months back. Still no parts, shake is still consistent when using the brakes at any pressure and speed.

Recently purchased 2004 nissan titan (january 10th, 04). When the vehicle had 5500 miles on the o.d. I had the front rotors replaced due to warpping. I did not tow anything with this vehicle during the initial 5500 miles. Mainly interstate driving.*ak the vehicle now in the shop with 12113 miles having the rotor replaced again. I believe that there is a defective part manufactured for this vehicle. My driving habits are not such that would cause this much excessive brake rotor warpping. These brakes are not cheap to replace, I think it is unrealistic to advertise a vehicle can tow 9400 lbs and cannot even stop with its own body weight, less any towing. The brake system in my oppinion is under sized or there is a manufacture spec that is not being met. God forbide I actually used this vehicle to tow as advertised. I could not afford to keep decent brakes on it.
