In owners' own words
Dt: bought car in 2004, a month later every time consumer applied brake pressure the front end shook. Sometimes the brake could be all the way to the floor. Vehicle was taken to dealer to be serviced, and a couple months this started again. Took the vehicle be serviced again, they put new brakes on, and again vehicle was hard to stop and still vibrated. This has supposed to be fixed three times already. Service brakes, hydraulic · reported at 9,000 miles
Brakes too small for truck. Brake pads wear out and rotor warp every approx. 3,000.00 Miles. We have been told by the dealer it will be another 6 to 12 months before Nissan will provide a repair kit to the dealers that will resolve the problem. In the meantime the brake pads rub against the rotors, even when the brakes are not being used, and the rotors warp because of the heat. Service brakes, hydraulic · reported at 10,000 miles
Where to begin. Problems started from the time we took possesion. The ignition wouldn't release, back to the dealer. The breaks shudder, back to the dealer twice!! Rotors warped. Power windows work on some of the time. Steering pulses at speeds over 70. It's just been one thing after another. The biggest is the brakes though, now affecting the whole front end and safety.
