THE VEHICLE BRAKES FREQUENTLY GO OUT AND START TO SHAKE AND MAKE A SPRINGY NOISE WHEN YOU PUSH DOWN ON THEM AND THE BRAKES LOSE POWER AND CANNOT BE APPLIED SAFELY. THIS MAY LEAD TO A CRASH AND NISSAN CANNOT DIAGNOSE THIS WITH CERTAINTY SO INTERVENTION FROM NHTSA IS NEEDED. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE IS A POSSIBLE FAULTY DELTA COMPUTER SENSOR AND/OR BRAKE BOOSTER THAT NISSAN CANNOT PROBLEM SOLVE VERY WELL. THIS PROBLEM COULD OR HAS LED TO CRASHES WHEN YOU CANNOT APPLY THE BRAKES AT SPEED. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. PLEASE PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS SO THAT WAY THERE ARE NO CRASHES THAT CAN INJURY MY FAMILY OR OTHERS.

THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE SO I'M OFFICIALLY REPORTING. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 16 YEARS. IN THAT TIME, I'VE REPEATEDLY HAD ISSUES WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM AT DIFFERENT TIMES STARTING IN 2006, BUT DEFINITELY IN 2009. I'VE BROUGHT IT UP WITH DEALERS IN BOTH SACO, ME & WAKE FOREST, NC. EACH TIME THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. FINALLY AFTER THE LAST TIME THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS A BULLETIN ABOUT THE COMPUTER NEEDING AN UPDATE. WHICH COST MULTIPLE HUNDREDS TO INSTALL. THIS INSTALL DEFINITELY DECREASED THE INCIDENTS OF MULTIPLE BRAKE FAILINGS WHILE DRIVING, BUT DIDN'T COMPLETELY FIX THE PROBLEM. I'M JUST NOW LEARNING THAT IT'S A FAULTY DELTA STROKE SENSOR IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO NISSAN FOR THE TITAN AND ARMADA MODELS. I NEVER GOT THE POSTCARD ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BUT IT WOULDN'T HAVE HELPED SINCE THEY NEVER IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE OR MAYBE EVEN HID IT FROM ME DURING MY VISITS. BECAUSE OF THIS I'M OUT OF THE WINDOW FOR THE LAWSUIT AND AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. MY '04 STILL ONLY HAS 78,000 MILES AND MULTIPLE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. NISSAN JUST HAD TO PAY 25 MILLION TO A FAMILY THAT WAS HIT BY ONE OF THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES, BUT STILL WILL NOT CLAIM THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DELTA SENSOR AND BRAKE BOOSTER. PLEASE MAKE THEM FIX THIS ISSUE TO SAVE LIVES AND PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY KNOW HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THE BOOSTER CAN BE RESET AND THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY, BUT TO DO THIS YOU HAVE TO STOP THE CAR WITH THE BRAKES FLUTTERING AND NOT RESPONDING. THEN YOU SHUT OFF THE CAR FOR 10 SECONDS AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS USUALLY FIXES THE ISSUE, BUT IT CAN RETURN AT ANY TIME. USUALLY WHEN YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN DRIVING FOR AWHILE. STARTED BACK IN 2006, BUT GOT WORSE IN 2009. COMPUTER FIX LESSENED ISSUE, BUT STILL OCCURS AT RANDOM TIMES.

I HAVE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT, BLINKING I SCAN IT AND THIS CODES CAME OUT B1081 AND B1019, ALSO ABS LIGHTS PUP UP TOO

I WENT IN TO GET A TRUCK ON JULY 11TH... THEY HAD TO GET THE TRUCK STARTED BY JUMPING THE BATTERY THAT THEY SAID WOULD BE REPLACED. WHILE RUSHING US WITHOUT OFFERING A TEST DRIVE INSURRING THE TRUCK WAS SOUND AND MECHANICALLY STABLE. WE THEN DROVE OFF IN THE 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER. VRD ABS AND BRAKE AS WELL AS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE BRAKES THEN WENT OUT ON US AS WE REACHED OUT HOME. THE NEXT DAY WE INFORMED THEM OF WHAT HAPPENED, THEY SAID IT WAS JUST WATER ON THE BRAKES TO GIVE IT A DAY AND SEE WHAT IT DOES. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND WHEN WE TOOK IT BACK THEY SAID THE MECHANIC WAS GONE TO COME BACK. THATS WHEN WE NOTICED THE CARA REGISTRATION WAS FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE AND STARTED TO WONDER IF THEY HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO EMMISIONS AT ALL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OM SINCE WE LEFT THE LOT. BEFORE OUR FIRST PAYMENT I SPENT $900 ON PARTS HAD ROADSIDE CALLED 4 TIMES AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE TRUCK DIDNT LAST TO THE FIRST PAYMENT. COMPLETELY LOST ALL BRAKING POWER. THIS TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC THAT TOLD US IT WOULD NOT HAVE PASSED EMISSIONS WHEN WE GOT IT BECAUSE THE HISTORY ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHOWED IT WAS ONLY CLEARED AND NOT ADDRESSED.

BREAK SIGN APPEARS ON DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. STRANGE NOISES COME FROM BRAKES AND BREAKS DOES NOT APPLY PROPERLY. IT HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN THE PAST AND I PULL OVER SAFELY, TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND TURN THE ENGINE ON BREAK SIGN IS GONE AND BREAKS START WORKING OK. THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN. VERY UNSAFE TO PULL THE CAR ON SIDE OF BUSY HIGHWAY, THEN TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND ON.

THE BRAKES IN OUR 2004 NISSAN TITAN FAILED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT GOING FAST AND WERE ABLE TO PULL TO THE DIRT ON THE SIDE TO STOP. THERE WAS NO WARNING. WE HAD NO DEFERRED MAINTENANCE ON THE TRUCK. BRAKES WERE MECHANICALLY PERFECT.( TWO MECHANICS VERIFIED THIS ) ONCE WE TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON THE BRAKES WORKED AGAIN. FOUND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN LA FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. CONTACTED NISSAN, THEY DENIED KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. NO HELP. TOWED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DENIED KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS CHRONIC PROBLEM. TURNS OUT ITS A DELTA STROKE SENSOR PART OF THE ABS SYSTEM. NHTSA YOU NEED TO ORDER A RECALL, THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFELY ISSUE. THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE FAILURE. PLEASE PROTECT THE PUBLIC GET THESE TRUCKS OFF THE ROAD AND FIXED BEFORE ONE OF THEM PLOWS INTO YOUR FAMILY. SO SADDENED BY NISSAN, NEVER AGAIN WILL I TRUST THIS COMPANY.

3'RD BRAKE LINE RUPTURE. ALL THE CONNECTORS UNDER OR AROUND BOTTOM OF FRAME APPEAR RUSTED. I'M GETTING AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT SEEMS THESE LINES SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE FROM A COMPONENT THAT WOULD NOT RUST. I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE

THE BRAKE LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY 235 (MD) ROAD. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES IT MADE WHAT SEEMS TO BE GRINDING NOISE. THE BRAKES WENT SOFT LUCKILY THE I WAS NEAR A SHOULDER AND AVOIDED A NEAR REAR END WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS CLOSE TO A GAS STATION. I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION WITH THE GRINDING NOISE. I WENT OUTSIDE TO SEE IF THERE WERE AN BRAKE LEAKS OR ANY BRAKE ISSUES AND NOTICED NOTHING. I TURNED ON THE TRUCK AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS GONE AND THE BRAKES WERE NORMAL. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY DEALER AND SHEEHY NISSAN STATED IT WAS THE POWER BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER. NISSAN DEALER STATED THEY HAD A NOTICE ON THIS ISSUE. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. I HAD IT FIXED - WELL $1,428.45 LATER. THE SAD PART - THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 15647 MILES AND LIGHTLY USED. SEEMS THAT THERE ARE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES ON NISSAN TITANS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. INVOICE OF THE SERVICES PERFORMED ARE UPLOADED. DID REMOVE PERSONAL INFORMATION PER INSTRUCTIONS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE.

WHEN STOPPING SHARPLY TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING LESS THAN 20 MPH WHICH MADE A SUDDEN TURN IN SAME LANE BRAKES FAILED. THIS CAUSED A NEAR FATALITY. THIS IS THE 7TH TIME BRAKE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED IN THIS VEHICLE DESPITE NUMEROUS REPAIRS COSTING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS--THANKFULLY NOBODY HAS BEEN KILLED OR MAIMED --YET. AT THIS POINT AND HAVING REVIEWED SIMILAR EXPERIENCES BY MANY OWNERS AND NOTING THAT FATALITIES HAVE OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE/DESIGN FLAW I WOULD APPRECIATE ADVICE .

INCIDENT 1: I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND APPLIED THE BRAKE. ONCE THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED, THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED BACK AT ME AS IF THE ABS SYSTEM HAD BEEN ACTIVATED, AND THERE WAS A LOUD SOUND THAT I KNOW TO BE CAUSED BY THE ABS SYSTEM BEING USED. LUCKILY, WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS ABOUT TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT AND IT HAD A CURB. KNOWING THAT MY BRAKES WERE PARTIALLY COMPROMISED, I SLOWLY ENTERED THE PARKING STALL AND NEEDED MINIMAL BRAKING. I NOTICED THAT MY EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT, VDC OFF LIGHT, AND MY SLIP LIGHT WERE ALL ILLUMINATED. AT THIS POINT I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WALKED AROUND IT LOOKING FOR ANY EVIDENCE OF A BRAKE FLUID LEAK OR ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. I DIDN'T SEE ANY BRAKE FLUID OR ANY FLUIDS OR CONTAMINANTS ON THE BRAKE DISCS. I RETURNED SEVERAL MINUTES LATER AND TURNED ON THE CAR AND IT PERFORMED AS NORMAL FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND DISMISSED IT AS AN UNUSUAL ONE TIME FLUKE. ONE WEEK LATER, I HAD A VERY SIMILAR INCIDENT DETAILED BELOW. INCIDENT 2: AGAIN, I WAS GOING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AT LESS THAN 10 MPH, AND WAS ABOUT TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE. THIS TIME, IT DID NOT START UNTIL I WAS PULLING INTO THE SPACE, SO I HAD NO WARNING THAT I WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME STOPPING. LUCKILY, I HAD A CURB AT THE END OF MY PARKING SPACE. ONCE I FELT THE KICK BACK I IMMEDIATELY PRESSED ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND SLOWLY CAME TO A STOP A FEW INCHES AWAY FROM THE CURB. I THEN SAW THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS THE SAME AS BEFORE. DEALERSHIP VISIT: AT THIS POINT, I KNEW IT WASN'T A ONE TIME THING AND TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER LATER THAT DAY. THEY TOLD ME MY DELTA STROKE SENSOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED YET, AND DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS A PERMANENT FIX. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, JUST MORE SIGNIFICANT. DEFINITELY WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE I FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK AGAIN.

Mileage: 84,000

ON THE WAY TO WORK WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC, I LIGHTLY APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, I FELT LOUD GRINDING AND SHAKING AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. TRIED TO STOP THE CAR AND PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL BUT IT WAS PUSHED DOWN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. PUMPED PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES , IT STOPPED. THE SPEED WAS ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN IT OCCURRED AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, IT LOOKED EVERYTHING TURNED OUT TO BE NORMAL, ACTS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. CALLED NISSAN COMPANY, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I GOGGLED IT AND FOUND OUT MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT NISSAN COMPANY DID NOT DO ANYTHING ON THIS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF I WAS DRIVING WITH HIGH SPEED, I COULD RUN INTO OTHER CAR SINCE BRAKE NOT WORKING MOMENTARILY.

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.

EMERGENCY BRAKE AND REAR BRAKES GOT COVERED IN GEAR OIL BECAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEAL LEAKING. IT STARTED SPEWING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND WHEN I TRIED TO COME TO A STOP IT TOOK WAY LONGER THAN NORMAL FORCING ME TO SWERVE TO MISS A PEDESTRIAN AND HITTING THE CURB AND A BUSH. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE THE DIFFERENTIAL LEAKING ON THE BRAKES IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN.

THE ABS LIGHT, VDC LIGHT, SLIP LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR ACCOMPANIED BY ABS ACTUATOR SOUNDS. THE BRAKING EFFORT DID NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE EFFECTIVELY. RECYCLING THE IGNITION SWITCH RETURNED THE BRAKES TO A SATISFACTORY CONDITION. AFTER MY WIFE DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME, I SCANNED THE ABS FOR FAULT CODES: C1179. I AM AN ASE CERTIFIED MASTER AUTOMOBILE TECHNICIAN WITH 28 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. THIS DEVICE MEASURES THE TRAVEL OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND IS A NECESSARY COMPONENT OF A VEHICLE WITH STABILITY CONTROL (NISSAN CALLS IT VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL [VDC]). THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS 4 TIMES IN THE TEN YEARS THAT I'VE OWNED IT. THE FREQUENCY OF FAILURE IS VERY RANDOM, DUPLICATION OF THE FAULT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IT OCCURS WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL.

Mileage: 97,000

BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. PEDAL WAS SOFT AND MADE A GRINDING NOISE. BRAKES WORKED BUT NOT VERY WELL. TOOK A VIDEO OF IT WITH MY CELL PHONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND THEY RESET SOMETHING. THEY SAID IT MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT DIDN'T. THEY SAID THE REPAIR WOULD COST $900.00. I THINK IT SHOULD BE FREE. THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD. TURNING TRUCK OFF AND ON FIXES THE PROBLEM BUT NOT PERMANENTLY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED AROUND 55-65 IN HOUSTON TEXAS. A CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TO PUT THE BRAKES ON QUICKLY. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL MUSHED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR MAKING A GRINDING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE BARLEY SLOWED DOWN. I MADE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE BRAKES MADE AN LOUD GRINDING NOISE, AND LOST BRAKES COMPLETELY. WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED(WITH OUT GETTING HIT MY CARS) I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. I HAD TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND AS I SAT THERE I HEARD A NOISE UNDER THE DASH, LIKE SOMETHING RESET ITSELF. I START THE TRUCK UP AND MOVED SLOWLY FORWARD TO SEE IF I HAD BRAKES AND SUDDENLY THEY WERE WORKING AGAIN. THIS TRUCK HAS DONE THIS A MILLION TIMES AND IT IS JUST BY LUCK THAT I HAVE NO BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE BRAKES GO OUT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL AND NOTHING HE CAN DO WITHOUT A THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THEN HE ISN'T SURE IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM STUCK WITH THIS TRUCK AND IT CONTINUES TO LOOSE THE BRAKES. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE 2011. *TR

RANDOMLY, SEVERAL TIME A WEEK..AND THEN NOT FOR MONTHS..AND THEN THE SYMPTOM REAPPEARS. WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK, THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE. IF I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHILE THE BRAKE LIGHT IS LIT, THE PEDAL MOVES TO THE FLOOR EASILY, THE BRAKES SHUDDER AND THE FEEL OF THE POWER BRAKE SYSTEM IS GONE. THE STOPPING POWER IS DRAMITICALLY COMPROMISED. THE FIX SEEMS TO BE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF AND MAY REMAIN OFF FOR DAYS, THE BRAKE FEEL AND FUNCTION ARE FINE. THEN RANDOMLY, THE PROBLEM WILL REAPPEAR. I CAN'T FIND A CODE FOR IT. A LAWSUIT WAS FILED AND SETTLED IN CALIFORNIA FOR THIS ISSUE..SEE: THE NISSAN BRAKE / DELTA STROKE SENSOR CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FILED IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA - BANKS ET AL V. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. ET AL. BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL AND REPAIR. SCARY WHEN THIS OCCURS ON A HIGHWAY AND THE 5600 POUND TRUCK IS TRAVELING 60 MPH OR MORE. SINCERELY. *JS

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN FROM WORK WHEN COMING UP TO A STOP LEAVING THE LONG DRIVEWAY TO ENTER THE MAIN RD I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND BEGAN VIBRATING AND MAKING A GRINDING NOISE LIKE WHEN YOU STEP ON THE PEDAL VERY HARD AND THE ABS COMES ON, EXCEPT THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE. THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP. I FLEW THROUGH THE STOP SIGN IN FRONT OF OTHER COWORKERS LEAVING A BUILDING TO THE NORTH. THE ROAD ONLY WENT LEFT AND RIGHT SO I COULD NOT MAKE THE TURN SO I HAD NO OPTIONS AND WENT ACROSS THE ROAD, HIT THE CURB, WENT INTO A FIELD WHERE A MESQUITE TREE STOPPED ME. I PUT THE TRUCK INTO PARK AND SHUT IT OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED IT THE BRAKES ARE BACK AND WORKING LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I LEFT THE TRUCK THERE AND WENT HOME TO BEGIN MY NORMAL GOOGLE SEARCHES AND WHAT'S THE CAUSE AND HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM MYSELF. I'VE FOUND HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE. THE MOST RECENT NOTES ARE OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT NISSAN HAS AGREED TO PAY BECAUSE OF FAULTY PARTS THAT CAUSE THEIR VEHICLES NOT TO STOP. THEY WHERE QUOTED THAT THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL UNLESS ORDERED TO DO SO IN NUMEROUS NEWS ARTICLES. PLEASE PROCESS THIS RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE GETS HURT OR KILLED. PLEASE HELP. *TR

ATTEMPTED TO STOP WHILE TRAVELING DOWN PARKING GARAGE RAMP. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE AUDIBLE SOUND OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) PUMP CYCLING. AT THIS POINT THERE WAS NO BRAKING POWER. PEDAL WAS LIFTED AND BRAKES WHERE APPLIED AGAIN. AGAIN, THE PEDAL DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND THE AUDIBLE ABS PUMP COULD BE HEARD. AT THIS POINT DRIVER HAD TO DECIDE TO CRASH THE CAR INTO A CONCRETE COLUMN TO PREVENT LARGER ACCIDENT INTO PAYMENT BOOTH. DRIVER CONTINUED INTO A CONCRETE COLUMN AT APPROXIMATELY 15 - 20 MPH AND CRASHED. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED FROM SCENE. AFTER ACCIDENT, MECHANIC REPAIRING VEHICLE INFORMED THE DRIVER OF TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) 452131 PERTAINING TO THIS SAME ISSUE, "ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) CODE C1179. INTERMITTENT BRAKE PEDAL SUPPOSEDLY GOES TO THE FLOOR. TECH HAS NOT EXPERIENCED". *TR

WHILE DRIVING, RED "BRAKE" DASH WARNING LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON. TRUCK'S BRAKES THEN HAD LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY & WERE HARD TO USE. THEY PUSHED A WAYS DOWN, HAD CRUMMY STOPPING POWER, MADE GRINDING NOISES, AND A VIBRATION WHEN TRYING TO USE THEM. I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY STOP. I SHUT OFF TRUCK AND RESTARTED IT. THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND BRAKES ACT NORMALLY. AFTER BRAKING AGAIN A SHORT TIME LATER, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. I ONCE AGAIN WAS ABLE TO RESET THE LIGHT BY SHUTTING OFF THE TRUCK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS IT JUST SUDDENLY HAPPENS AND YOUR BRAKING ABILITY GOES TO "POOP" WHEN DRIVING. AFTER THIS HAPPENED TO ME, I SEE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON-LINE IN VARIOUS FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY NISSAN OR A GOVERNMENT RECALL. THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY FIXED THE BRAKE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. HOWEVER, A WEEK LATER, THE CONSUMERS NEPHEW WAS DRIVING WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN, AND HE DROVE INTO A DITCH. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY CLAIMED THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW PUMP/DELTA STOKE SENSOR. UPDATED 02/23/15

AT 55,000 MILES THE REAR AXLE SEALS FAILED ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE SEAL FAILURE CAUSED A LEAK WHICH SATURATED THE REAR BRAKE APPARATUS AND REDUCED ITS HOLDING ABILITY. I REPORTED THIS TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT AN UPGRADED REAR AXLE WAS INSTALLED TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PREMATURE SEAL FAILURE. AT 138,000 MILES THE REAR AXLE SEALS HAVE FAILED AGAIN DESPITE REGULAR FLUID CHANGES, AND THE REAR BRAKE APPARATUS IS ONCE AGAIN SOILED WITH GEAR LUBE. I BELIEVE THIS CONSTITUTES A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS A RECALL. THE DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY AND STATES THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD FAILURE ON THE NISSAN TITAN AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER TITAN OWNERS IN THE U.S. WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS

I HAVE SAME PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE WITH CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS STARTING AROUND 65000 MILES. EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE SO I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LISTEN TO A HORRIBLE EXHAUST LEAKS. NEXT IS THE REAR AXLE SEALS FIRST AROUND 65000.REPLACED 2X. AFTER TALKING TO NISSAN TECH WHO IS A FRIEND APPARENTLY ITS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THE AXLE TUBES TEND TO WARP CAUSING A LEAK ALL OVER TIRES N BRAKES AND EVENTUAL FAILURE OF GEARS INREAR PUMPKIN IF NOT CAUGHT. JUST WAITING FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM. EVERY 7000 BRAKES N ROTORS R SHOT AND NEED REPLACING. PEDAL ALWAYS HAS A MUSHY FEEL WHEN U OCCASIONALLY NEED TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE. GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR EVEN WHEN BRAKES R GOOD. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL BECAME MUSHY. BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON. COASTED TO A STOP, TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED. LIGHTS WENT OFF AND BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY AGAIN. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY THE SIXTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS TRUCK. BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE NEW. IT FIRST BEGAN HAPPENING APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AGO. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NISSAN SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THIS ISSUE, WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF SINCE 2004. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ATTEMPTED TO STOP AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, AND I HAD NO PRIMARY BRAKE FUNCTION. I WENT THRU AN INTERSECTION UNABLE TO STOP AND COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE. THE VEHICLE DOES THIS MULTIPLE TIMES, IF I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, RESTART THE VEHICLE I HAVE BRAKES, DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THEN NO BRAKES. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE, AND IT'S THE BRAKE BOOSTER. NISSAN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE, THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF EXACT COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN, AND I GET NOTHING FROM THEM OR ANY ASSISTANCE. PLEASE, PLEASE, DO SOME RESEARCH ON LINE ABOUT THIS AND MAKE NISSAN FIX THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLES. I HAVE THE VEHICLE PARKED IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER FOR THE $1,200.00 REPAIR AND TOWING BILL. AS A CONSUMER I NEED YOUR HELP. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN HAS HAD NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT COMING ON WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES MAKE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE HAD TO GO ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TO AVOID REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. ONCE I GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED I CAN TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND THE BRAKES RESET AND WORK CORRECTLY. HOWEVER, THESE INCIDENTS ARE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO RESTART THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE RESET. THIS IS A VERY CRITICAL SAFETY FLAW AND I HAVE READ MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THESE TRUCKS AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS INJURY OR A FATALITY. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND IT HAS BEEN SERVICED AT PROPER INTERVALS. *TR

Mileage: 93,000

WHEN TO STOP AS ENTERED FREEWAY ENTRANCE, BRAKE PEDAL DROPPED ABOUT 1/2 WAY AND NO INITIAL BRAKE POWER. THEN VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL KICKED IN AND GOT LIMITED BRAKING BACK AS VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND TWISTED SLIGHTLY. RESTARTED AND WORKED OK. ALSO HAPPENED JULY 12. HAPPENED AGAIN ON 8/17 WHILE TOWING. CAN'T TRUST THE BRAKES!! OTHER TIMES BRAKES WORK FINE. *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A BRAKE / ABS PROBLEM WITH MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AS I WAS DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND AS I ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THE BRAKES UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS, I HAVE ALMOST NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK IN TIME. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE ABS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATING AND BRAKE PEDAL IS FLUCTUATING, VIBRATING AND GRINDING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/17/14 THEY SAID IT WAS A PROGRAMMING ISSUE. I PAID ABOUT $100 FOR THEM TO UPLOAD A NEW PROGRAM. THEY TOLD ME THE NEW PROGRAM DIDN'T TAKE AND THEN TOLD ME THE DELTA SENSOR IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS MOST LIKELY THE ISSUE. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE ENTIRE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY MUST BE PURCHASED SINCE THEY DON'T SELL THE DELTA SENSOR SEPARATELY, AND THE COST IS $950 TO REPLACE. I CALLED AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THE NEXT DAY 7/18/14. TODAY 7/24/14, I FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS LETTING ME KNOW THAT THEY WERE UNWILLING TO HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE IT' OUT OF WARRANTY, NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WILL NOT PURSUE ANY FURTHER ACTION IN REGARDS TO MY CASE & CONSIDERED THE MATTER CLOSED. *TR

SUDDEN BRAKE LOSS WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30MPH. IT HAS OCCURRED BEFORE AND SEEMS TO HAVE INCREASED AFTER A FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT. I'D GUESS 10 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK NOW, I'VE KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE FOR SOME TIME AND WAS READING ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WHICH I BELIEVE ONLY COVERED THE RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA AND THE COMMENTS SUGGESTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT HERE. IT'S THE SAME THING, THE EMERGENCY LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN APPLY BRAKES THERE IS NO PRESSURE AND AN AWFUL GRINDING NOISE. ONCE YOU COME TO A SAFE STOP, TURN OFF AND BACK ON, AND THE PROBLEM IS GONE! PREVIOUSLY, IT HAD BEEN WEEKS AND EVEN MAYBE MONTHS IN BETWEEN BUT NOW IT SEEMS TO HAVE TURNED IN A DAILY TASK. ANY UPDATE ON RECALL OR NATIONWIDE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

WENT TO STOP AND HAD NO BRAKES, BRAKE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STILL DID NOT STOP. AVS, BRAKE AND SLIP LIGHTS CAME ON DASH AND AS OF TODAY 06/10/2014 AFTER NEW BRAKE BOOSTER AND MULTIPLE CYLINDER REPLACEMENTS AND TESTING AT NISSAN DEALERSHIPS THE SAME LIGHTS ARE ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WERE 107,000.

VEHICLE WOULD START TO MAKE LOUD NOISE WHEN BRAKING, AND THEN BRAKES WOULD STOP WORKING ALTOGETHER. THE FIRST FEW INCIDENTS IN THE PAST YEAR BECAUSE WE WERE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED WE COULD COAST TO A STOP. TURN OFF ENGINE, AND THEN TURN BACK ON. PROBLEM WENT AWAY UNTIL NEXT INCIDENT. WE JUST COMPLETED A FACTORY REPAIR COSTING JUST UNDER $1400 AND IT WAS TO REPLACE A MECHANISM THAT WAS FAILING TO DELIVER THE SIGNAL, OR FLUID (I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS VERY WELL ENOUGH TECHNICALLY) TO MAKE THE BRAKES STOP. THE PARTS WERE OVER $600 AND LABOR ALSO OVER $600. WHILE VEHICLE IS 10 YEARS OLD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT ISSUE AND NOT WEAR AND TEAR. I'VE READ THAT THIS IS A REPORTED ISSUE WITH NHTSB SO I WANTED TO FILE ALSO. *TR

Mileage: 50,000

WHILE DRIVING THE SLIP, VDC AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALL ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK EVENTUALLY DID STOP BUT I CAME CLOSE TO HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE READ AND RESEARCHED THOROUGHLY ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN CALIFORNIA REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR WHERE I HAVE ALMOST COMPLETELY LOST MY BRAKES. NISSAN NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM MAY BE A DELTA STROKE SENSOR THAT IS HOUSED WITHIN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I HAVE NOT REPLACE THIS YET AS I AM NOT SURE IF THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM AND IT IS QUITE EXPENSIVE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE OUT THERE. *TR

THE BRAKE ON MY 04 NISSAN TITAN WOULD QUIT WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT PULSATED AND SEEMED TO HAVE NO BRAKE. ALL THE SERVICE LIGHTS WENT ON. I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE BRAKE AT ALL. VERY SCARY FEELING. I HAD TO PULL OVER THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. IT HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW IN 04 AND STILL HAVE IT NOW 2013. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 5-7 TIMES EVERY YEAR. NISSAN NEEDS TO OWN UP TO IT AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GOT KILLED AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE A BIG LAWSUIT IN THEIR HANDS. *TR

I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT NHTSA IS FINALLY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT NISSAN TITAN BRAKE PROBLEMS. I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED NO BRAKES AT ALL WHEN THE TRAFFIC SUDDENLY STOPS IN FRONT OF YOU. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THESE BRAKES TO THE NHTSA, NISSAN, ETC, TO NO AVAIL. THE PROBLEM IS VERY INTERMITTENT AND YOU CANNOT SIMPLY TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND SHOW THEM THE PROBLEM. IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHEN THE BRAKES FAIL TO WORK, YOU PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN THE TRUCK 'S IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THE BRAKES ARE THEN RE-SET AND WORKING FINE. MY SON DISCOVERED THIS TEMPORARY FIX SOLUTION. IT IS A SERIOUS, REAL PROBLEM FOR NISSAN TITAN AND ARMADA OWNER'S. IT HAPPENS TO OUR TITAN TWO OR THREE TIMES A YEAR. MANY OWNER'S COMPLAIN OF THE SAME TROUBLE ONLINE. I'D LOVE TO HEAR THAT NISSAN TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL THESE VEHICLES AND SOLVES THIS PROBLEM FOR THEIR LOYAL OWNERS. *TR

SLOWING FOR A STOP, BRAKE PEDAL MUSHED AND A GRINDING ABS SHUDDER PRESENTED. AS SPEED WAS LOW, I WAS ABLE TO MANAGE A STOP OF THE VEHICLE. RETURNED HOME SLOWLY AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. TWO DAYS AGO THE SLACK PEDAL AND GRINDING NOISE OCCURRED AGAIN. CALLED DEALERSHIP WHO REPLIED "NO AWARENESS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. BRING IN WHEN EXPERIENCING SYMPTOMS." RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. REQUESTED A SERVICE TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR/BOOSTER COMPONENTS. CANNOT IMAGINE DRIVING THIS BIG TRUCK HOPING TO LOSE BRAKING AT A TIME WHEN, WITH NO RISK TO MYSELF OR OTHERS, THE DEALERSHIP CAN SEE/HEAR THE PROBLEM. SHOCKINGLY UNETHICAL! MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT THE NEW COMPONENTS MAY BE JUST AS FAULTY. PLEASE ADD MY VOICE TO THOSE CALLING FOR NISSAN AND/OR THE NTSB TO ADDRESS THIS BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE ... OR HAVE THEY ALREADY AND IT HAS NOT BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO THIS FAILURE?? *TT

WHILE TAKING A EXIT RAMP AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED DUE TO STOPPING TRAFFIC PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH A GRINDING SOUND. I HAD TO SWERVE TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND WENT PAST 2 CARS BEFORE STOPPING IN THE EMERGENCY LANE. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE LIGHT WAS GONE. REPORTED THIS TO THE NISSAN DEALER ....THEY STATED THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE.....THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS ON THE INTERNET AND ALSO FILED WITH NHTSA. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THEY WILL DO NOTHING UNTIL A RECALL. I CERTAINLY HOPE NO ONE DIES FROM THIS AS THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT WILL FOLLOW WILL BE VERY EMBARRASSING TO NHTSA, DOT, AND NISSAN AS YOU HAVE ALL BEEN MADE VERY AWARE OF THIS.... *TR

BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ON DASH ILLUMINATED. WHEN BRAKE PRESSURE APPLIED, PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, BRAKES MADE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND AND BRAKING EFFICIENCY WAS GREATLY DIMINISHED. HAD TO DRIVE ONTO RIGHT SHOULDER OF ROADWAY TO AVOID REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ABOUT 3 TIMES PER YEAR ON THIS 61,000 MILE VEHICLE. TOOK TO NISSAN UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE PROBLEM AND RECEIVED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THIS GOT ME OUT OF WARRANTY.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE AT AN INTERSECTION THE BRAKES FAILED. THE "BRAKE" LIGHT CAME ON, IT MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND I HAD NO BRAKES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND AFTER CHECKING THE COMPUTER FOR EMBEDDED CODES HE FOUND TWO CODE FAILURES (C1104 & C1179).

WHILE REPLACING LIFETIME WARRANTIED SUSPENSION WHICH WAS NOT HONORED BY NISSAN OR TENNECO, I FOUND THE REAR PINION SEAL TO BE LEAKING SEVERELY, AND REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING IN WHEEL ASSEMBLY. POSSIBLE SOURCE OF "TICKING" NOISE FROM DIFFERENTIAL, WHICH UNTIL THEN I THOUGHT WERE EXHAUST HEAT SHIELDS. THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE CATASTROPHIC DRIVETRAIN FAILURE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE FLUID LEAKING FROM AXLE SEAL CAN REDUCE EFFECTIVENESS OF BRAKING COMPONENTS. OTHER OWNERS HAVE DESCRIBED INADEQUATE ENGINEERING & POSSIBLE USE OF SUBSTANDARD DIFFERENTIAL MATERIALS & COMPONENTS ALONG WITH AXLE VENT ASSEMBLIES WHICH COULD CREATE INTERNAL PRESSURE CONDITIONS THAT COULD CAUSE SEALS TO FAIL. *TR

WHEN DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL ROAD, THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THEN, WHEN SLOWING TO TURN, BRAKES SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND DID NOT FEEL AS IF THEY WOULD SUCCEED IN STOPPING THE VEHICLE. I SLOWED ENOUGH TO TURN, THEN PROCEEDED SLOWLY TO MAKE 2 MORE IMMEDIATE TURNS BEFORE REACHING MY HOUSE. THE BRAKES SHUDDERED AND WERE NOT 100% EFFECTIVE EACH TIME THE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. FLUID LEVELS ARE NORMAL, BRAKE COMPONENTS LOOK GOOD. AFTER TURNING TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON, PROBLEM WAS NOT ABLE TO BE REPLICATED. HOWEVER, AFTER DOING ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS AS YET REFUSED TO ADDRESS, EVEN THOUGH IT COULD LEAD TO COLLISIONS AND FATALITIES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 45 MPH WHEN THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO AVOID HITTING THE REAR END OF ANOTHER CAR WHILE IT WAS STOPPED TO MAKE A TURN. WITHOUT WARNING, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE ABS UNIT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE PEDAL ACTION CONTINUED UNTIL I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. WHEN STOPPED I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND IT WAS AT THE MAX LINE ON THE RESERVOIR. AS A MECHANIC, I LATER CHECKED THE VEHICLE FOR CODES STORED. IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE CODE "C1179" INDICATING A POSSIBLE DELTA STROKE SENSOR/SIGNAL FAULT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITH THIS TRUCK. LUCKILY, THE FIRST TIME, NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. I REALLY AM CONCERNED THAT THIS TYPE OF FAULT COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE ANY OCCUPANT(S) IN EITHER VEHICLE OR POSSIBLY A PEDESTRIAN. IT MAY PROVE TO BE FATAL IN ANY CASE. ONE POSSIBLE FIX COULD BE TO ALLOW THE ABS UNIT TO BE TURNED OFF WHEN CODE "C1179" OCCURS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
