I purchased my brand new nissan titan june 16th 2005 my husband and I decided to take our family own a road trip to texas for the 4th of july. 2 weeks after I returned I had about 5,000 miles on the truck and notice that my steering wheel was vibrating as I stopped on my brakes, I called service department and they said that this is a common problem bring it in and we will fix it , so I asked what was the common problem and she said the rotors and brake pads burn out and that last month they just received the new component for this problem. Now my problem have with nissan corp. Is that I was own the road with my 2 children and husband sounds scary to me, if they new that this was a problem why not do a national recall or even call the customers who just purchased a new truck within that month. But no nissan is trying to cover there butts and not put it out to the public but I tell you one thing nissan corp. Is looking for a big fat legal matters with the customers.

Brake trouble/per nissan repair department no permenant fix and I would need to bring the truck in every 2500-4500 miles or whenever problem occuers to have brakes repaired
I purchased a 2005 titan 4 door 2 months ago. At approx. 3000 miles it began to shake violently when the brakes are applied at any speed. I called the dealership, who affirmed that this was a known defect prior to my purchase, and that I could bring it in for a temporary fix. They exclamed that this was not a safety issue. I strongly disagree with their claim, and am very disappointed by their lack of responsibility concerning this matter.
Dt: 2005 nissan titan. There was bad vibration when the brakes were applied. *ak *sc
Purchased a new 2005 nissan titan 4-door pick-up truck in february 2005. Both the manufacturer as well as the dealership knew of an existing safety problem regarding the braking system of both 2004 and 2005 titan pick-up truck models, but failed to alert myself of the problem. I had to threaten to sue the dealership to provide and install the manufacturer's suggested replacement parts to resolve the issue. The replacement parts were installed less than 60 days ago, and the problem has resurfaced. When I spoke with 2 separate nissan corporation representatives, they provided me false information, and they told me they considered the matter closed and if I was not satisfied then I should contact a lemon-law attorney! I demand the manufacturer and the dealer to refund my money entirely! They fraudently sold me a vehicle that is not safe to be on the road. Additionally, 2 additional problems regarding the driver's power seat and the radio have surfaced and the both the dealer and the manufacturer have done nothing to fix these problems as well.
Mostly highway driving since new. Current milage 4,700 miles. At about 4000 miles extreme shudder and vibration in steering and brake pedal when brakes applied at speeds above 20 miles per hour. Suspect front brake rotors are warped.
Dt: the contact owns a 2005 nissan titan. The contact said dealership stated there was a defect within the brake pads/rotors. The brake pads overheated or got very hot and warped the rotors. When ever this happened it caused vibration when stopping. Vehicle was shaking tremendously, and it was hard to control vehicle on the road. Also, said every 3000-5000 miles they would have to replace the brake pads, and the rotors. This was an ongoing problem. Dealership insisted there was no solution to the problem. This caused wear to the two front tires.
Nissan titan purchased in march, with approx 4,000 miles the truck began to shake when braking. The truck has 5,00 miles now and shakes severely when braking on a downhill grade and manuevering curvy roads. It was difficult and I beleive unsafe to travel any longer with this vehicle. When the local dealership was notified of the shake/shimmy they informed me of a waiting list for parts and stated that they new exactly what the problem was, that all dealerships in the area have a waiting list for this part and that it was safe to drive the vehicle. I disagree. Living in an area with hills and curvy roads it is not safe to operate this vehicle. I will not be driving the nissan titan until it is repaired. I did not hear of a recall and was surprised to know that the secretary at the service desk knew exactly what my problem was without anyone looking at my vehicle. This could endanger lives.
Dt: contact states at 2500 miles the vehicle began to shake while braking. The rotors were rotated on the vehicle. There is a new brake kit available, but the service dealer and nissan indicate the rotors have to be turned 3 - 4 times before they would replace the brakes. The rotors that are manufactured for the vehicle are too small for the design of the vehicle.
The front end of the nissan titan truck shakes extremely violently when the brakes are applied. According to the dealer this is problem on every nissan titan and nissan is aware of it and providing a repair kit of parts, however they are doing it extremely slowly with a terribly insufficient supply of parts for the scope of the problem.
Brakes and rotors inapt to handle vehicle weight and stopping requirements. At 6,000 miles front pads were worn away and were grinding into rotor ,rear pads at 30% remaining. Took to dealership now waiting 5-7 days for parts because of availability. Changing front rotors and pads,resurfacing rear rotors but leaving old pads on them. Not sure if old parts available
Low brake pedal since delivery. Pedal "pumps up" with frequent use and fades to floor with infrequent use (ie; highway driving. Pedal goes to floor with firm application of brakes.
I have a 2005 nissan titan fully loaded. I have had the brakes changed twice. The driver side window does not operate properly. Nissan was aware that the brakes on the truck had problems and never told me when I bought it. Nissan was aware that the driver side window is also defective. There is a tsb issued for both problems. I have been told that there is no fix for the brakes, that I will have to continue to bring the truck in about every 3000 miles and have the rotors and pads replaced. I was told nissan is looking for a fix. The driver side window is the same situation. Nissan corporate has told dealerships not to fix the window issue, they have no resolution to the issue. The window may stop in the down posistion or in the up position. In my case it has done both and finally it would not go up at all. I had to drive with the window open for a day until I could get it to a dealer to be looked at. The dealership has told me there is no fix but they would try there best.
Brakes vibrating worped rotors. This is a mojor engineering oversite. The brake system is not robust enough for the truck. It is unsafe and irritating!!
Repeated repair to brake system 4 times since purchase in jan 04 24,000 and 4 repairs.
