2004 Nissan Titan

I BACKED MY CAR OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND PROCEEDED APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS TOWARD THE ENTRANCE TO MY SUBDIVISION. I APPLIED BRAKES TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSED AS IF ABS WAS ACTIVE AND WENT NEARLY TO THE FLOOR. THE ROAD WAS DRY YET THE ABS ACTED AS IF I WERE ON ICE. I PUMPED THE BRAKES MULTIPLE TIMES. EACH TIME THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH ABS PULSING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP BEFORE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. A WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED - I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS BRAKE OR ABS. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. UPON RESTART THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND THE BRAKES FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. I PARKED THE VEHICLE PENDING DIAGNOSIS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ISSUES DOCUMENTED ONLINE POINTING TO THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR. IT SEEMS THAT A PROBLEM WITH THIS SENSOR COMPROMISES THE FUNCTION OF THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 TITAN, I NOTICED A BANGING AND CLANGING SOUND. I THOUGHT IT WAS A LIMB STUCK IN MY TIRE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I NOTICED OIL ON THE INSIDE REAR ROTOR, PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS ALREADY MILES FROM HOME ON A HUNTING TRIP. I ONLY HAVE 79,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. AFTER HUNTING, I LIMPED MY TRUCK ABOUT 30 MILES HOME, TRAVELLING ABOUT 35 MPH, WHILE IT IS BANGING AND CLANGING, SOUNDING AS THOUGH THE WHEEL IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. I MADE SEVERAL STOPS ON THE WAY HOME TO MAKE SURE THE WHEEL WAS STILL SECURE. I FEEL BLESSED TO MAKE IT HOME AS THE WHEEL STARTED TO BIND WHEN I HIT THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER TALKING TO SEVERAL MECHANICS, THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE ALOT. THE REPAIR WILL COST SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $3,000 TO $4,000. APPARENTLY THE AXLE SEAL BLEW WITHOUT WARNING AND NOW THIS HAS CHEWED UP THE GEARS INSIDE AND DESTROYED THE HOUSING. THE MECHANICS SIMPLY SUGGESTED TO BUY THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE AND REPLACE. THEY ALSO STATED THE ORIGINAL DESIGN WAS PISS-POOR. OF COURSE, THIS HAPPENS AFTER PLACING $2,000 REPLACING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT WERE UNDER WARRANTY FOR 80,000 MILES AND 10 YEARS OLD. MINE WERE 11 YEARS OLD AND THE TRUCK HAD 79,000 MILES ON IT. THE LOCAL GARAGE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP. IT WAS MORE THAN 10 YEARS OLD. I WOULD HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING YOU COULD DO TO MAKE THE MANUFACTURER LIABLE FOR THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

THIS IS A FINANCE VEHICLE SAW THE 2004 NISSAN TITAN REALLY LIKE IT FOR THE WORK THAT I DO AND MY HUSBAND AGREED TO PARTIALLY FINANCED IT. THE FIRST DRIVING OFF THE CAR LOT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN WE GOT HOME I CALLED BACK THE DEALER TO LET HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED, HE SAID TO BRING IT BACK THE FOLLOWING THURSDAY TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON, DURING THE SAME WEEK THE TWO FRONT WINDOWS FELL DOWN INTO THE SLOT COULDN'T COME BACK UP SO WE HAD DRIVE IN THE DEAD OF WINTER WITH THE WINDOWS DONE. FINALLY WE DROP THE PICKUP OFF AT THE DEALER, IT WAS THERE FOR 2 FULL WEEKS BEFORE WE GOT IT BACK, THINKING EVERYTHING WAS FIXED .A FEW DAYS AFTER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WE CALLED THEM AGAIN THEY IN REPLIED TELLING US THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS A USED VEHICLE.OH MY GOD. NOW I HAVE PUT OVER A $1000 IN PARTS AND NOW THE MECHANICS ARE TELLING ME IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. PLEASE I NEED HELP BECAUSE I HAVE TO BE PAYING THE FINANCE COMPANY FOR SOMETHING I CANT USE.
