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.

Steering wheel shakes when applying brakes. A few days later a loud grinding noise in the front end. Took the 2006 titan to service center and was told needed total front end brake job. The brake pads went thru the rotors. A few months later there was a recall on the truck for something else. Took it to the dealer for the recall and was told the front brake system had to be replaced. Two to three months after I just had it done. I told the service manager that I just had it done a few months ago. I asked to see the problem and they would not let me in to look at the problem myself. They just noted that I refused service. I took the truck back to the service station that did the work (because the dealer said it was not covered). There was nothing wrong with the brakes at that time like the dealer told me. Now 8/21/2014 at 53000 miles the front end brake system is gone again. I applied the brake and the truck would not stop. I had to go off the road so I did not hit the vehicle in front of me. I owned 6 nissans and never has this kind of problem before. I do not understand why nissan is waiting until someone gets killed to fix this problem. I was also told that the truck does not stop because the ABS system kicks in and does not let the truck stop suddenly when needed. As of right now I can not drive the truck until I can afford to get the brake system repaired again. The truck is not safe to drive. Wake up nissan. Do not let someone die because of defects.

Noticed a small grinding noise underneath my 2006 nissan titan le. A friend tells to check the bearings. I bring it the dealer, dealer tells me I need to replace the rear bearings and seals - $900.00. They also tell me my brakes and emergency brakes shoes are shot due to bearing fluid leaking all over them, they wanted $1600.00. Replaced all the brakes myself, which were totally fine....I then notice the same grinding noise plus another under my drivers side floor. Bring it back to dealer asking them why. I come to find out the front differential is shot along with the transfer case. This truck has highway miles, only driven in 4x4 for snow. How can this happen? I then proceed to look for answers on the internet and find out that there are many other titan owners with the same problems. Nissan has actually changed the part numbers for the axle due to the issues that are related. The new repairs will cost between $3600-$4000 which I cannot afford at the moment. Drive safe titan owners...

Ever since I bought my titan (3-3-06) I noticed a whining noise at speed when I let off of the gas. I always thought it was tire noise. Well on november 15, 2006 I noticed a real bad grinding/whining noise when I decelerated. There was only 6900 miles on the truck. I took the truck to the dealership and a mechanic rode with me up the street and back and said that my truck had problems. I left the truck at the dealership overnight and they replaced the entire rear end. The mechanic said that my truck had problems before I even bought it and that the whining noise I always heard was the rear end and not the tires.

Incident occurred during normal use of a 2004 nissan titan. No suspension or drive line modifications. The differential failed when turning right onto a busy street. There was a loud bang then a grinding sound. The truck would not drive after that. Every time I tried to accelerate the truck would just grind and not move. The truck was taken to royal moore auto center in hillsboro, or. Where it was purchased. The service technician looked at the truck the next day and said the differential needed to be replaced. When he made the order he said nissan would not give him a delivery date for the part because it was back ordered. It's been a week and I still do not have an estimated date for part delivery or repair.
