Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The part that failed was the delta stroke sensor i was coming home from the store and suddenly I noticed the brake light came on and when I pressed the brakes it made a grinding noise like it was trying to lock the brakes so it was almost impossible to stop
Brake light will come on and brakes will grind and crunch when trying to stop. After shutting of and restarting vehichle the problem will go away temporarily.
When in motion, vehicle brakes occasionally fail. Dynamic control off light, brake light, and slip light turn on at same time that brake pedal loses all resistance and is easily pushed all the way to the floor. Brake power significantly reduced and need to be actively pumped to slow down and come to a stop. At a stop, vehicle can be turned off and back on then warning all lights will go off and brakes operate as normal. Dangerous situation when attempting to slow down, especially at higher speeds. Occurs 6-7 times per year.

I bought this titan at tri-state nissan in winchester, va. My brake rotor were completely rusted due to bad metal used - I had to replace them at 30,000 miles. My left rear wheel seal was defective and started started leaking fluid at 70,000. Had to replace even though I had extended warranty. Catalytic manifolds went bad and they knew it when it was under warranty - but they didn't replace them. Paint problem when the truck is cold - big giant spots in the clear coat. The manifolds manifolds need to be recalled because the exhaust is entering the vehicle.
