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.
