Len Sipes of Washington, Dc DC (07/24/07) Re: How is Everyones Overall Paint ?
I have a 2006 Titan (16,000 miles), which I love, but I noticed that I keep getting paint scratches that should not be there. I really take care of this vehicle. I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 120,000 miles that has been off road that has fewer scratches than the Titan. Same with my 2001 Honda. After reading the forum posts, it seems as if Nissan has a problem with the overall paint job on the Titans. Does anyone have any suggestions? I suggest that we call the automotive and general media (newspaper consumer advocates) if Nissan does not offer a solution. If Nisson wants the same reputation for shoddy paint jobs as General Moters and other American companies, so be it. But it's a shame, the overall product is quite

Maxine of Henderson TX (03/12/07) I have also had the recurring brake problem with my truck. I had the service bulletin change out of brake drums, rotars, etc. aftger going through the 3 times of service work. Now I ma having a problem with the left from brake.
They are telling me it is a different problem and not under warranty. It does the shuddering, vibrating and over-heating. Last month when I took it in, they replaces shims, this month when the exact same thing happened, they tell me it is the caliper sticking. Est. 800+ cost. This is still a brake system problem. I am now worried if it will continue and when will the other wheel start up.
I do not feel safe driving this vehicle anymore. I have been lucky that I have been close to the dealership and able to get there without loss of the braking system. I may not be that lucky next time.

Jim of Islamorda FL (01/20/07) My Nissan Titan and thousands of others has the factory installed truck bed liner bubbling off. After three months of work with Dealer and Nissan the have not fixed it. They say the problem is so huge and they only have one vender in Miami to do the fix, they cannnot get to mine. They promised a fix in one month, it has been three and counting. They have defective truck bed liners and are not stepping up to the problem, plus we paid 1,000 extra for a special cargo system that requires the bed to not be defective.
Randy of Rocklin, CA September 26, 2006
Randy of Rocklin CA (09/26/06) I purchased the truck in April 2005. Months afterwards I received a recall notice regarding the defective rotors. When I had 7,500 miles on the vehicle I started to experience the brake judder with temporary loss of control at freeway speeds. I had the vehicle serviced at the local dealership and have had no problems until this last weekend. I was driving in a residential neigborhood, at slow speeds, thankfully. When I came to a stop sign I applied the brakes and the pedal went right to the floor. I then heard a clicking noise in the dash and then a quick shudder of the suspension, which I assume may have been something to do with the ABS. I immediately took the vehicle to the dealer. I was called two days later and was told that there was no problem with the brakes and that I should pick up the vehicle. I called Nissan Consumer Affairs and requested assistance. I heard back from them the next day, with the same story as the dealership. This all occured over 100 miles from my home. The vehicle is still sitting at the dealer, 100 miles from home. I've informed them that I refuse to put myself or others at risk because of an obvious defect in their product. I will not pick up this vehicle until they have located and corrected the problem. I am still researching the issue, any advice would be helpful.
Gregory of Fort Mill, SC July 4, 2006
Gregory of Fort Mill SC (07/04/06) I purchased an '04 Nissan Titan new. I started noticing a noise while pressing my brakes. On 06/7/05 I took the truck to Superior Nissan about the brake problem. I was told nothing was wrong and they applied Stop Squeal to the brakes. On 8/24/05 I took the truck to a tire service shop to have a flat tire repaired. They informed me that the brake pads had worn away and was starting to damage the rotor. They told me I should have had a squealing noise to warn me that the brakes were worn. I told them I did but Nissan said there was nothing wrong.
By this time the mileage on the truck had surpassed the warranty on brake pads. So I had no choice but to have the independent service center repair the brakes. About a week after that, I got a letter in the mail informing me of a brake recall on the Titan. I called Nissan and they did replace the brakes, but I told them about taking it in prior to this and being turned away by Nissan, then having to pay out of my pocket for the damage.
Customer service said they would reimburse me for the money if I provided them with copies of receipts, proof of payment and registration. I faxed all of this to them. A month or so went by and I called them. They said the proof of payment was illegible and to resend. I did so and again, month or so went by and I had to call them back. They told me they to send it again, which I did. Now several months have passed and I haven't seen a reimbursement check and am getting no response from Nissan. I am just sick of dealing with them.
Each time I call, I get someone who talks to me like they are a robot, ensuring me they will take care of it. But they never do, they don't call, I have to call them. I am so frustrated, there's no one to call. I am always directed to customer service robots who do absolutely nothing. What can I do but be a victim to an enormous company like Nissan?
