TO WHOM IT CONCERNS, I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK THAT HAS A MAJOR FLAW IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I SERIOUSLY THINK THAT I WILL BE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. I'VE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. THEY ADMITT TO THE FAULTY BRAKES SYTEM, BUT DO NOT HAVE A PERMANENT FIX. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. PLEASE CONTACT NISSAN AND FORCE THEM TO RECALL ALL THE TITANS AND FIX THIS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM. I CAN'T BELIEVE IN THE YEAR 2005 IT IS OK TO HAVE THOUSANDS OF TRUCKS ROAMING OUR HIGHWAYS WITH FAULTY BRAKES? *AK
