Are they gonna fix brakes?

[ttammunek04]

I've took the "TANK" to two seperate dealers and they said that they haven't heard anything about the brake issue. This would be the look that follows: Is there someway I can get a copy of this TSB? Then I'll shove it in their faces and say HA! here's the problem dim wits! Seems like all service people are dumber than a box of crap when it comes to problems with new vehicles. HELLO!! its gonna happen, get with the program!!! Sorry if I offened anyone but that is just my pet -peeve, Same thing happen when I had my first year F-150. Any help on the TSB issue would be appreciated. Once again I'm sorry if I offened anyone, just on my:

my brakes aren't too bad yet, i'm just waiting for a real solution to the issue before i even bother with the J.O.'s at the dealership....

meanwhile, when i have to brake hard i just take advantage of the nice gated shifter and drop a few gears!

Go to "www.nissanhelp.com" The TSB is there and you can print it. It is the exact same information that is e-mailed to all of the dealerships.

Seems to me this is just a tempory fix anyway. Might be better to wait it out for a something more perm if there ever is. Maybe someting in the order of a bew rotor design or cermic pads. If they are warping due to excesive heat then maybe a cross drilled rotor would help.

I just bought my Titan and I have not experienced this brake problem.

[oceansize]

I have close to 10K on my titan & I don't know what to do on this subject. I think the warrenty runs out at 12K. mine are warped. what would you guys do?

[1stime]

Ceansize you should take it to the dealership where you bought it and have them install a new set of rotors and brake pads before is too late. I took mine right after it happened (warped) at 3500 mi and they replace the two front rotors and brake pads.

Dont worry about the 10,000 miles. I took mine in at 15,000 and they worked on the brakes. Didnt say fixed because I have to take it back tomorrow and have them worked on again. Took a road trip to the Florida Keys this week and put an additional 3300 miles on the beast. About half way through the trip thinks started shaking again.
Do the back ones go bad to? I was sitting in the back with one of the kids driving and I felt the vibrations behind me when she hit the brakes.

Spoke with service managers at 2 local dealerships. Both said they "just turn the rotors while on the vehicle." "... no other fix comming." "... turning seems to fix the problem as those trucks have not returned."

Swap rotors for new? I don't think that's in my truck's future till next warp.

[TuffTitan]

Just picked my Titan up from the dealership and they turned the rotors. I asked about new brake pads since it was part of the TSB and they said, "if they do it again, then they will replace those". My biggest concern is with regards to these brakes is when you are towing a heavy load. Previously, I got used to the slack in the pedal, but I never got into a panic stop situation. If I strap my 7800lb Bobcat on the a55 end and the stoping power isn't there as a result of faulty brakes, Someone is going to get a 13000lb projectile in their rear end. I hope Nissan identifies a solution because inevitably someone is going to encounter this situation. Its one thing to have enough stopping power for the weight of the truck alone, but when you start adding towing weight, it is a whole different set of tolerences.

Just scheduled my 7500 mile svc, to include the "Brake Judder" and radio issues. The svc rep was well aware of both TSB's. He confirmed that for the brake judder, they turn the rotors AND replace the pads (per the TSB). He indicated the ads were different/better than what was originally on the truck, and should fix the problem - we'll see.

I first took my Titan at 5000 miles to complain of the rotors warping. They ground them down, problem fixed. At about 12k miles took it in for synthetic oil change and to complain that I thought the rotors were warping again, although not nearly as bad as it was at 5k miles. Dealer (Earnhardt's Nissan, Mesa, Arizona) installed brand new rotors and pads, I have 15k miles, no problem. Guy at dealer told me that they were trying a new grease associated with the brakes. They are aware of this particular problem. Is this the problem that you were referring to? Very happy with dealer explanation, action, and service. Note: I bought the truck from another dealership but go to this particular since it is closer for me.

I am having a custom pushbar powdercoated, and will mount it on the truck. Will try to get pictures. The bar is totally custom hand-welded, and follows just about every contour of the bumper, grill, and headlight-foglight assembly. It weighs about 55lbs. as well.

well for all you brillant guys that are interested nissan has just released a email stating they are coming out with a proper fix for the brake issue
but nobody will have the parts for a few weeks
just so you know im one of those stupid service guys you like to mouth
you know i could help you with alot of good info the dealership i run is really big on maintaining good relations in the service dept we get most of our customers due to service
maybe you should have checked the service dept out before you bought from the delaership that saved you 100 dollars on the purchase price
SERVICE AFTER THE SALE CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE
