Same warpage of front brakes. Dealer said all they are doing is turning rotors. If the shudder continues, what happens when the caliper bracket breaks? the caliper spins and tears the brake line loose, wow no brakes. Nisson will be sued if this is not fixed quickly.

problem #36

Feb 242005

Titan 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 6,000 miles
Front end of vehicle has terrible vibration while braking caused by overheated and warped front disc brake rotors. Front brakes rotors and pads have been replaced by the dealer twice (at roughly 6,000 and once at 11,093 miles). The replacement rotors at the 11,093 mile service are redesigned rotors intended to fix the recurring problem. At 17,752 miles the problem recurred and the new redesigned rotors had to be resurfaced by the dealer.

Titan 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 6,800 miles
Serious brake vibration problem, started within first 2K miles, continued to get worse. Have had the brakes replaced 4 times in 5 months. Vibration (shaking of the steering wheel gets worse after approx. 2K miles, almost un controlable by 5K miles).I have been told by dealer on every repair that this probably woudn't repair the problem. Nissans Consumer Affairs has been no help. Filed claim with the BBB auto line on 2-4-05. Day 12 and still no response from Nissan. Serious safety hazard.
