My 2004 Nissan Titan Crew cab 8000 miles started getting a shudder from the brakes after highway use, dealer said there was a tech bulletin on the brakes.

Replaced rotors and pads and some other stuff, were going to turn rotors on the truck per the TB, but I did not want turned rotors on my two month old truck. so they replaced rotors.

Friend has same truck same problem.

I just wanna say that if there's anything about a car that bothers me it's crappy brakes.

I have 7,000 miles on my Titan at around 2,000 miles I started getting the shaking in the steering wheel thing. So I took it to the dealer and they re-surfaced the rotors and sent me on my marry way. The truck seemed fine. Now at about 7,000 miles it's shaking again and everyday the shaking gets worse. At highway speeds it seems that if I need to I wouldn't be able to break on time. And during stop and go traffic I feel like I want to just break something. I called the Nissan dealer he asked me to come down and they'll resurface them again I said no I want new rotors apparently the factory rotors are defective he said okay but that theres a 1-2 month waiting list ....

Shuddering is not normal at 7K miles though....warranty should replace the defective parts.  Hopefully I won't have the same problems because I HATE it.  My Altima started at about 40K miles but that was to far gone for warranty.

I'm coming up on my 15k service. My dealer currently has the parts for the brake upgrade on order. I have yet to pay a single cent since signing the papers on my Titan almost a year ago. My dealer is warrenting the brakes as an engineering mistake.

Well, I had my Titan in today for the second time for the brake problem. The kick in the pants was #1 the dealer just re-surfaced the rotors and #2 tried to charge me for it. I still love my truck but this is getting old. Has anyone tried a set of cross drilled or slotted rotors? If so did it help. The last post is good to know at least they know Nissan knows they have a serious problem with the brakes, unfortunately the dealer network in my area seem to be out of the loop. I did however refer the service manager to our website in hopes of waking the fellow up to some of the problems we are having.
