I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP. WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AT 30 MPH I STEPPED ON MY BRAKE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK, MY BRAKES BECAME MUSHY, THERE WAS A CLICKING SOUND, AND MY BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. BY PRESSING DOWN HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW TO A STOP.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP. WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AT 30 MPH I STEPPED ON MY BRAKE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK, MY BRAKES BECAME MUSHY, THERE WAS A CLICKING SOUND, AND MY BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. BY PRESSING DOWN HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW TO A STOP. I EVENTUALLY MADE MY WAY INTO A PARKING LOT. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE, CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND IT WAS FINE. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE THE RED LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. IT IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS UNDERGOING DIAGNOSTICS. BRAKES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE IN A VEHICLE. THEY CANNOT SPONTANEOUSLY FAIL. THIS HAS BEEN A GROWING PROBLEM ON NISSAN TITANS AND ARMADAS AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THANK YOU. *TR

PURCHASED 2005 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK ON 2/1/2005. ON 4/21/05 WITH 6,000 MILES, TRUCK SHOOK/SHIMMIED WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. UNDER WARRANTY, NISSAN DEALER REPLACED FRONT PADS AND RESURFACED THE FRONT ROTORS. ON 6/23/05 WITH 11,000 MILES, TRUCK AGAIN SHOOK/SHIMMIED WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. STILL UNDER WARRANTY, NISSAN DEALER REPLACED FRONT AND REAR PADS AND ROTORS AGAIN! ON 1/14/08, NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CRAPPY GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A (P265/70R18) TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE TRUCK (ALSO HAD 3 FLAT TIRES) EVEN THOUGH I ROTATED THEM REGULARLY (LESS THAN 40,000 MILES). TODAY, THE TIRE CENTER INDICATED I NEEDED NEW BRAKES. CALLED NISSAN DEALER AND AM AGAIN TAKING THE TRUCK INTO SERVICE TO CORRECT AND GET NEW ROTORS/PADS. BY THE WAY, THE WARRANTY ON MY TRUCK FOR THIS REPAIR RUNS OUT ON 2/1/08. GOING FORWARD, I WILL HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY. THIS STINKS! HOW COME THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL AND CORRECTIVE PROCEDURE IMPLEMENTED? $37,000 VEHICLE! *TR

BAD VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING SO BAD IN FACT HAD TO LEAVE THE ROAD TO AVOID TRAFFIC. NO INJURIES TO PEOPLE, PROPERTY, OR VEHICLES. HAPPENED 2 MILES FROM HOME SO WENT HOME FIRST. A QUICK CALL TO MY ATTORNEYS OFFICE LED ME TO THE NHTS.DOT.GOV SITE. I WAS SHOCKED OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS I READ ABOUT ON THESE TRUCKS AND STILL NO RECALL? THAT'S JUST IRRESPONSIBLE! PRINTED OUT A BUNCH ON COMPLAINTS AND HEADED INTO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. WENT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER INTRODUCED MYSELF AND ASKED HIM IF THEY HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN TITANS BRAKES THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY. SO I HANDED HIM THE COMPLAINTS FROM THIS SITE AND ASKED IF HE COULD EXPLAIN IT TO ME. WITHIN MINUTES THEY ROAD TESTED MY TRUCK AND SAID YES THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WOULD FIX MY TRUCK RIGHT AWAY AND NISSAN WAS GIVING THE BRAKES ON THESE TRUCKS WARRANTIES FOR 10 YEAR OR 100,000 MILES. THEY CALLED ME A RENTAL CAR, PAID FOR IT, AND SAID THEY COULD FINISH THE WORK TODAY. WORK ORDER REPLACED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. PADS AND TORQUE MEMBERS REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACED REAR ROTORS PARTS: 2 40206-ZC00A ROTOR DISC BRAKE 1 41060-ZC027 PAD KIT - DISC 1 44060-ZC025 PAD KIT - DISC BR 4 41005-7S000 BOLT TOOK THEM A FEW HOURS TO FINISH THE REPAIRS I WAS OPTIMISTIC TO SEE THEY GOT RIGHT AFTER THE PROBLEM HOPEFULLY THAT FIXES IT. I WOULD STILL LIKE TO HAVE THAT 10Y/100K BRAKE WARRANTY IN WRITING. WE WILL SEE IF THIS IS JUST A WORK AROUND OR A FIX TIME WILL TELL. I'LL POST MORE INFO AS I RECEIVE IT. B

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. RECENTLY, THE BRAKES FAILED ON THE VEHICLE AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I WAS CALLED TWO DAYS LATER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO FOR ME BECAUSE THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE COMPUTER DID NOT RECORD ANY FAULT CODES. I'VE ASKED THEM TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THEY REFUSE TO DO IT. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT ITS MY RESPONSIBILITY AND THAT IF THE BRAKES FAIL AGAIN, TO BRING IT BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I'VE CALLED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND THEY ARE NOT OFFERING ANY HELP, THEY STAND BEHIND WHAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME. IN MY OPINION, NOBODY SHOULD GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS VEHICLE. IT NOW SEEMS LIKE I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. *JB

A LOT OF BRAKE DUST WAS ALSO NOTED ON THE RIMS. IT FELT AS IF THE FRONT BRAKE PADS WERE WORN OUT. THE DEALER CHECKED ALL 4 BRAKES AND GAVE MY HUSBAND A "REASON" WHY THE PADS WERE WEARING SO SOON. BRAKES ON FRONT FOUND TO BE AT 12MM WITH NO ABNORMAL WEAR...ROTORS WERE SAID TO BE OK AS WELL. ALSO NOTED A SNAPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT , SLOW TURNS, SHARP TURNS AND WHEN WE ALMOST WOULD COME TO A STOP. DURING ROAD TEST THEY SAID THEY COULD HEAR THE ABS CLICK AND IT WAS NORMAL AS WAS ALL OTHER SUSPENSION. AND FOR SOME REASON THE STATE INSPECTION STICKER HAD NOT BEEN UPDATED PRIOR TO OUR LEAVING THE LOT. *JB

Official recalls
4Oct 28, 2010
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 6, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
Mar 3, 2010
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2009 TITAN, ARMADA, AND INFINITI QX56 VEHICLES. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE MAY INACCURATELY DISPLAY THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL SENDER UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW IMPROVED SENDER CARD. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
Jun 27, 2008
NISSAN IS RECALLING 180,664 MY 2005-2006 TITAN, ARMADA AND INFINITY QX56 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER MARCH 17, 2005, THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH A VISTEON AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAN MOTOR. THE FAN MOTOR MAY NOT BE PROPERLY SEALED ALLOWING EXCESSIVE WATER INTRUSION AND INADEQUATE DRAINAGE OF MOISTURE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE CORROSION IN THE MOTOR LEADING POSSIBLY TO OVERHEATING AND A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A 'THERMAL PROTECTOR KIT' AND TEST THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAN MOTOR AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 2, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

ON CERTAIN KING CAB TRUCKS, THE WIRES IN THE HARNESS WERE ROUTED THROUGH THE REAR DOORS AND INTO THE BODY. THESE WIRES MAY BREAK DUE TO OVER BENDING OF THE HARNESS AS THE DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED. THE HARNESS CONTAINS WIRES FOR THE DRIVER SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER AND FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WHICH IS PART OF THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. WIRES FOR THE REAR AUDIO SPEAKERS ARE ALSO CONTAINED N THE HARNESS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE WIRES FOR THE SEAT BELTS AND SPEAKER WIRES BREAK AND MAKE CONTACT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE PRETENSIONER MAY DEPLOY. IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS RETRACTED, IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO USE THE SEAT BELT. IF ONE OF THE WIRES ON THE RIGHT SIDE HARNESS FOR THE SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR BREAKS, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AS DESIGNED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH AND PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIRE HARNESS COVER WITH A DIFFERENT TYPE THAT PREVENTS OVER BENDING OF THE HARNESS AND THE HARNESS WILL BE REROUTED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 19, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
