I have been having brake issues with my 2004 Titan, and after reading this message board, am worried that this repair may not be adequate. I brought the truck in for a slight pulsation, brake light flickering, and a screeching noise coming from the right front tire (3rd time for brake issues). They informed me that the right caliper was frozen/cracked and the brake pads were damaged. They replaced the caliper and pads, Nissan covered the cost for the caliper only. The dealer then informed me that the left front side also had the same problem, but Nissan would not cover the cost of those parts and they where going to charge me an additional $860.00. I called Nissan and filed a customer service report. In the end Nissan covered some of the cost, but I was charged $467.00 and went 4 days without my truck. How do both calipers fail at the same time (47K mi)? What caused them to crack, the larger pads? Why did Nissan only partially honor the warranty? Is this going to be the pattern of owning this truck, every 20K miles replacing the brake system? Note: I have the tow package but haven't towed anything with this vehicle, too afraid, especially with my wife and son in the vehicle. I guess the best option is to take the hit and trade it in. I am very disappointed with Nissan for not engineering a proper fix for this recurring problem.

Seems like your dealer wouldn't go to bat for you. Calipers are covered 3/36k warranty. Only pads and rotors are not. -mike |

| I bought my 2004 Titan at the end of this past summer and love the truck. The only thing that is driving me nuts is the dash rattle/squeek that I hear. When driving while accelerating you can hear it. If you put it in neutral, nothing, neutral and give it a little gas...nothing, put it in gear and accelerate....rattle/squeek. It is def. coming from the inside, i just have not been able to pin point where? Any ideas?? | |

| I posted this in the maintenance board also, just wanted to cover all the bases. I am just wondering if anyone is having this problem with their paint. I have an 05 SE CrewCab 4X4 Off Road w/tow package, red alert color. I noticed a few small (1/16"-1/8") blisters in the paint, some had already broken when I first noticed them exposing the primer. I did a good inspection of the truck before taking to the Nissan dealer so I would know where the blisters were and stopped counting at 20, most of them are already broken, all of these expose the primer. The dealer has not been very supportive, saying that Nissan will probably claim they are rock chips and door dings even though the location of many of them rule these possibilities out (even have some on the tailgate). Has anyone else noticed this problem? We might have to get together to get Nissan to fix this one, I will post more as my situation progresses. | |
A local U.S. newspaper is looking to interview buyers who recently purchased a half-ton truck and understand what factors you considered before making your purchase. If you are interested in being interviewed, please send an email to ctalati edmunds.com no later than Tuesday, February 6, 2007 containing your daytime contact information.
