The part that failed was the delta stroke sensor i was coming home from the store and suddenly I noticed the brake light came on and when I pressed the brakes it made a grinding noise like it was trying to lock the brakes so it was almost impossible to stop

WHEN IN MOTION, VEHICLE BRAKES OCCASIONALLY FAIL. DYNAMIC CONTROL OFF LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, AND SLIP LIGHT TURN ON AT SAME TIME THAT BRAKE PEDAL LOSES ALL RESISTANCE AND IS EASILY PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR.

I BOUGHT THIS TITAN AT TRI-STATE NISSAN IN WINCHESTER, VA. MY BRAKE ROTOR WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED DUE TO BAD METAL USED - I HAD TO REPLACE THEM AT 30,000 MILES. MY LEFT REAR WHEEL SEAL WAS DEFECTIVE AND STARTED STARTED LEAKING FLUID AT 70,000. HAD TO REPLACE EVEN THOUGH I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY. CATALYTIC MANIFOLDS WENT BAD AND THEY KNEW IT WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY - BUT THEY DIDN'T REPLACE THEM. PAINT PROBLEM WHEN THE TRUCK IS COLD - BIG GIANT SPOTS IN THE CLEAR COAT. THE MANIFOLDS MANIFOLDS NEED TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE THE EXHAUST IS ENTERING THE VEHICLE.

REAR END AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING, AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS AND SEVERAL HOURS I FOUND I COULD BE CAUSED FROM THE AXLE VENT NOT WORKING PROPERLY, THIS CAUSES THE REAR SEALS TO BE PUSHED OUT AND FLUID TO LEAK ONTO THE BRAKES, SEEMS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM AND SAFETY CONCERN, I WAS PULLING A SMALL TRAILER AT THE TIME AND NEARLY AVOIDED A CAR THAT PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME.

STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. A FEW DAYS LATER A LOUD GRINDING NOISE IN THE FRONT END. TOOK THE 2006 TITAN TO SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD NEEDED TOTAL FRONT END BRAKE JOB. THE BRAKE PADS WENT THRU THE ROTORS. A FEW MONTHS LATER THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRUCK FOR SOMETHING ELSE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. TWO TO THREE MONTHS AFTER I JUST HAD IT DONE. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I JUST HAD IT DONE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I ASKED TO SEE THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD NOT LET ME IN TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM MYSELF. THEY JUST NOTED THAT I REFUSED SERVICE. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE SERVICE STATION THAT DID THE WORK (BECAUSE THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED). THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AT THAT TIME LIKE THE DEALER TOLD ME. NOW 8/21/2014 AT 53000 MILES THE FRONT END BRAKE SYSTEM IS GONE AGAIN. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. I HAD TO GO OFF THE ROAD SO I DID NOT HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I OWNED 6 NISSANS AND NEVER HAS THIS KIND OF PROBLEM BEFORE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN IS WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE TRUCK DOES NOT STOP BECAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM KICKS IN AND DOES NOT LET THE TRUCK STOP SUDDENLY WHEN NEEDED. AS OF RIGHT NOW I CAN NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO GET THE BRAKE SYSTEM REPAIRED AGAIN. THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. WAKE UP NISSAN. DO NOT LET SOMEONE DIE BECAUSE OF DEFECTS.

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN TITAN WITH 47000 MILES. PARTIAL VIN "1N6BA07A0" WHILE TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL MIDAS SHOP FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE MECHANIC POINTED OUT A LEAK ON LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL. THEY QUOTED ME WITH $350.00 TO REPLACE THE SEAL. HOWEVER THEY ALSO SUGGESTED TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPT TO REPLACE UNDER A RECALL/ WARRANTY... THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED $1900.00 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR AXLE UNDER THE GUIDANCE FROM THEIR TECHNICIANS AND IT BEING OVER THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY AND/OR NO RECALL. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A RIPOFF. HERE IS A QUOTE I FOUND ON THE CLUB TITAN FORUM SITE. HTTP://WWW.CLUBTITAN.ORG/FORUMS/ARCHIVE/INDEX.PHP/T-32631.HTML "LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 8000 MILES NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL. NISSAN REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WEOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *AK"

2006 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 CURRENTLY WITH 80,200 MILES. LEFT AND RIGHT REAR AXLE OIL LEAK. AT APPROXIMATELY 65000 MILES, DURING A TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE AT A NISSAN DEALER, MECHANIC NOTICED THE PASSENGER REAR AXLE WAS LEAKING. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATED IT WOULD BE ABOUT $500.00 TO REPAIR. HE ALSO STATED THAT NO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. AFTER HAVING THE ENGINE OIL CHANGED ON JULY 2012, I NOTICED MY DRIVER SIDE REAR AXLE LEAKING NOW. SEVERAL SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE BEEN POSTED ONLINE. NISSAN SHOULD PUSH THE MANUFACTURE TO HAVE THIS HAZARDOUS ISSUE RESOLVED VERY SOON AND NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THE SEAL AT NO COST OR AT A LOW DISCOUNTED PRICE.

BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS STARTED LEAKING ALL OVER MY BRAKES AND INSIDE THE WHEEL WELL CAUSING POOR BREAKING ABILITY. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TITANS AND THAT THEY NO LONGER RECOMMEND REPLACING JUST THE SEALS BUT INSTEAD THE WHOLE AXLE. THE TECH (WHO TOLD ME HE HAD 20 YRS WITH NISSAN) SAID THAT WHEN THEY USED TO JUST REPLACE THE SEALS PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK 6 MONTHS LATER BECAUSE THE SEALS WOULD BLOW AGAIN. ALL OF THE POSTS ONLINE SAY THAT IT IS A RESULT OF AN IMPROPER VENTING SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE RELEASE OF NEGATIVE PRESSURE. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, AND NISSAN KNOWS THAT IT IS, WHY DON'T THEY DO A FULL RECALL? THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. I WAS ON VACATION WITH MY WIFE AND GRANDDAUGHTER THIS PAST WEEK WHEN I NOTICED THE BRAKING ON MY TRUCK FELT WRONG. IT TOOK MUCH FURTHER TO STOP THAN IT SHOULD. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I PULLED OVER TO A REST AREA AND NOTICED A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I CHECKED THE FLUIDS AND EVERYTHING LOOKED OK. I WENT TO A GARAGE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME WHERE THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID INTO THE BRAKE DRUMS ON BOTH REAR WHEELS AND SPINNING FLUID INTO THE WHEELS. THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO GET IT OVER TO THE NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH TITANS. THEY CONSIDER IT SAFE. BUT THEY TELL ME I NEED TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY. THE REAR BRAKES HAVE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING INTO THEM. WHICH MEANS I MAY EVEN HAVE TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING DAMAGED! THEY ALSO TOLD ME THE REAR AXLE COULD LOCK UP CAUSING MORE DANGER AND DAMAGE. THEY ADMIT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE BUT THEY WILL NOT LET THE OWNERS KNOW IN WRITING. THAT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY WOULD RATHER THE OWNER ENCURE THE HUGE EXPENSE OF REPAIRING THIS ISSUE AFTER THEIR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER THIS A RECALL. I WILL HAVE TO SPEND $3000 TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE. I AM FURIOUS AND DISAPOINTED THAT NISSAN WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE I SEE HUNDREDS OF POST.WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED? IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN FIVE YEARS YET SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I AM ONLY AT 85,000 MILES. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEIR PATHETIC RESPONSE AND REFUSAL TO FIX THIS ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE.THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE NISSAN! I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN IF THEY DON'T RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE.

I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT AND HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH IT UP UNTIL NOW. LONG STORY SHORT; I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLOSE TO WHERE I LIVE (STANLEY NISSAN) TO GET A RECALL DONE ON IT AS WELL AS HAVE IT LOOKED AT FOR MY ABS AND SLIP LIGHTS BEING ON CONSTANTLY AS WELL AS MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WHICH WAS ON BEFORE. A FEW DAYS BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT MY TRUCK STARTED DRIVING WEIRD AND DISENGAGING ITSELF OUT OF 4WD AND I WOULD LOSE CONTROL AT TIMES OR MY TRUCK WOULD STOP GOING FORWARD AND WOULD START TRYING TO GO SIDEWAYS, BUT THE RPM'S STILL WENT UP, BUT TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCEL FORWARD. IT ALSO STARTED MAKING A BANGING NOISE IN THE REAR, ALWAYS SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE. DROPPED IT OFF AT DEALERSHIP AND HEARD FROM THEM THE FOLLOWING DAY. SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT MY REAR BRAKE SHOES HAD BROKE AND SPUN AROUND IN THE BRAKE HOUSING AND DAMAGED MY BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, ROTORS AND THEN MADE IT INTO MY REAR AXLE HOUSING AND DAMAGED MY ENTIRE REAR HOUSING AND DIFFERENTIAL. I AM A MECHANIC MYSELF AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT PIECES FROM THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT INSIDE AN ENCLOSED REAR HOUSING ASSEMBLY. THEY TOLD ME I NEED MY ENTIRE REAR AXLE AND DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED ALONG WITH OTHER PIECES FOR THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY AND REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT ALL OF THIS WAS CAUSE BY BRAKE SHOES AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHICH I NEVER USE. THEY ARE QUOTING ME $4,200 FOR THE REPAIRS AND WON'T COVER ME UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I AM STILL UNDER 60,000 MILES AND I CAN'T BE COVERED BY MY PLATINUM PACKAGE EXTENDED WARRANTY AS WELL WHICH COVERS ME UP TO 100,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN ON NUMEROUS SITES WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THE FACT THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO WORK US ALL OVER AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP HONOR THE WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH THIS MANY REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS.

I WAS ROTATING MY TIRES AND NOTICED GEAR OIL ON THE INSIDE OF MY REAR WHEELS. THE GEAR OIL HAS SEEPED OUT OF A FAILED OIL SEAL AND COVERED MY BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR. THIS OIL COULD CAUSE DECREASED BRAKING ABILITY AND INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF A FAILED BRAKE RELATED ACCIDENT.

NOTICED A SMALL GRINDING NOISE UNDERNEATH MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN LE. A FRIEND TELLS TO CHECK THE BEARINGS. I BRING IT THE DEALER, DEALER TELLS ME I NEED TO REPLACE THE REAR BEARINGS AND SEALS - $900.00. THEY ALSO TELL ME MY BRAKES AND EMERGENCY BRAKES SHOES ARE SHOT DUE TO BEARING FLUID LEAKING ALL OVER THEM, THEY WANTED $1600.00. REPLACED ALL THE BRAKES MYSELF, WHICH WERE TOTALLY FINE....I THEN NOTICE THE SAME GRINDING NOISE PLUS ANOTHER UNDER MY DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR. BRING IT BACK TO DEALER ASKING THEM WHY. I COME TO FIND OUT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL IS SHOT ALONG WITH THE TRANSFER CASE. THIS TRUCK HAS HIGHWAY MILES, ONLY DRIVEN IN 4X4 FOR SNOW. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? I THEN PROCEED TO LOOK FOR ANSWERS ON THE INTERNET AND FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. NISSAN HAS ACTUALLY CHANGED THE PART NUMBERS FOR THE AXLE DUE TO THE ISSUES THAT ARE RELATED. THE NEW REPAIRS WILL COST BETWEEN $3600-$4000 WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD AT THE MOMENT. DRIVE SAFE TITAN OWNERS...

THE VEHICLE HAD WARPED FRONT ROTORS FROM DAY OF PURCHASE. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK FROM SIDE TO SIDE DURING TEST DRIVE AFTER APPLYING THE BAKE AT ABOUT 50 TO 60 MILES PER. I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO NISSAN DEALER TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AND ROTORS UNDER WARRANTY THE TRUCK HAD 632 MILES AT THE TIME. THAT WAS IN 2006. JUST RECENTLY I HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED AGAIN THE PADS WERE NOT WORN OUT COMPLETELY BUT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AT 33,673 MILES. I PAID ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED FOR $600 THAT SEEM TO BE THE MINIMUM CHARGE.

RIGHT REAR BRAKE FULL OF OIL FROM DEFECTIVE AXEL SEAL. OIL HAS LEAKED OUT OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE REAR AXLE AND ON TO THE DISK BRAKES CAUSING THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL TO LOCK UP WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. MY FAMILY WAS FORCED TO STOP DRIVING THE TRUCK AS IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND WOULD COST $1200 TO REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH HE APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO PULSATE VERY VIOLENTLY PRIOR TO DEPRESSING TO THE FLOOR. A BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD SO THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND SHUT IT OFF. UPON RESTARTING IT, THE BRAKE PEDAL OPERATED AS NORMAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE BUT ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE BRAKING SYSTEM RESETS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 64,700. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 CREW CAB SINCE DEC 2006 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHILE BRAKING. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER IN 2008 MILES 10, 850 THEY TURNED THE ROTORS AND APPLIED GREASE. TOOK TRUCK BACK TO DEALER ON JULY 9TH 2010 AND THEY AGAIN SAID ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 27,980 MILES. THE SERVICE MAN SAID THE ROTORS WERE NO LONGER COVERED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HAVE ROTORS TURNED. I WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE GOOD FOR 30,000 MILES. I THINK IT'S STRANGE THAT THE ROTORS NEED TO BE TURNED EVERY 10,000 TO 15,000 MILES. SERVICE MAN ACTED LIKE THIS WAS A COMMAND THING AND THAT IT WAS THE DRIVERS FAULT NOT THE COMPANY'S. I ASKED ABOUT RECALLS AT THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT ME I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE DEALER SINCE. NISSAN NEEDS TO SEE THIS AS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND MAKE A RECALL.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 TITAN CREW CAB SINCE 2008 AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE BRAKE SERVICE REQUESTS PERFORMED FOR "BRAKE JUDDER". PREVIOUS SOLUTION WAS TO TURN THE ROTORS BACK TO TRUE UNTIL ROTORS CAN NO LONGER BE TURNED AND NEW OEM ROTORS ARE ACQUIRED THAT WILL START THE WHOLE PROCESS OVER AGAIN. THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX FOR THE LARGER PROBLEM. BRAKE ROTOR SIZE AND MATERIAL SELECTED FOR THE 2006 NISSAN TITAN MODEL IS INADEQUATE TO PROVIDE ENOUGH SURFACE AREA AND VENTING FOR PROPER HEAT DISSIPATION TO PREVENT WARPAGE OF THE OEM BRAKE ROTORS. THIS BRAKE ROTOR TURNING SERVICE WAS PERFORMED 10,000 MILES AGO, 5,000 MILES AGO AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN NEED OF THE SAME SERVICE. A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES THAT IS DRIVEN LESS THAN 12,000 MILES PER YEAR SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD 3 BRAKE SERVICE ISSUES FOR THE SAME MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. MY PERSONAL SOLUTION (BECAUSE NISSAN HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DEFECT IN NEED OF A RECALL) IS TO UPGRADE THE OEM BRAKE HARDWARE WITH AFTERMARKET PERFORMANCE SLOTTED AND DIMPLED ROTORS AND CERAMIC BRAKE PADS TO PROVIDE FOR ADEQUATE HEAT DISSIPATION AND PREVENT ROTOR WARPAGE.
