2004 NISSAN CREW Complaints

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. *AK

AT 5000 MILES MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE EVERY TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES. DEALER MADE TEMP. REPAIR AND TOLD ME IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. NISSAN HAS NOT COME UP WITH PERMINATE FIX. SEEM ROTORS OR PADS ARE WARPING.

SAFETY CONCERN REGARDING THE FRONT END. I'VE HAD TO TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR VIBRATION OF STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT STOP SIGNS, LIGHTS, OR PARKING. THE VIBRATION IS ONLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND IT FEELS LIKE IT RADIATES TOWARDS THE REAR END RIGHT BEFORE THE COMPLETE STOP. I'VE HAD TO TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR 4 TIMES DUE TO THE FRONT END. THREE, BECAUSE OF THE VIBRATION AND ONCE IN DEC. FOR RED FLUID DRIPPING AND GETTING ALL OVER THE BOTTOM AND SIDE OF TRUCK WHILE COMING BACK FROM A CHRISTMAS TRIP ABOUT 7HRS AWAY. I WAS TOLD IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RACK AND PINION. THAT WAS NOT GOOD NEWS TO HEAR ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAD DRIVEN BACK A FEW NIGHTS AGO IN THE SNOW. NOW, APRIL 2005 I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THE FOURTH TIME WITH THE EXTREME VIBRATION OF THE FRONT END WHILE BRAKING OR SLOWING DOWN. I NEED TO BE INCONVENIENCED AGAIN WHEN I TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR A CHECK AND LEAVING IT BEHIND SEVERAL DAYS AND BE WITHOUT A CAR. THE OTHER PROBLEMS ARE THE FACT THAT THE TWO FRONT WINDOWS OF THE TRUCK DO NOT ALWAYS GO UP WHEN THE AUTOMATIC BUTTON IS USED. IT SEEMS THAT THE WINDOWS BEGIN TO GO UP THEN JUST SLIDE BACK DOWN. THIS HAS BEEN SERVICED MORE THAN FOUR (4) TIMES WITH STILL THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING TO ONE OF THE WINDOWS. IT IS AN INCONVENIENCE WHEN THE WINDOW DOES NOT GO UP WHEN IT IS RAINING OR COLD WIND BLOWING WHILE DRIVING AND MY KIDS ARE AT THE BACK SEAT.*AK

WHILE BACKING MY BOAT INTO ITS PARKING SPOT, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING, I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO UNHOOK THE BOAT TRAILER FROM THE TOW VEHICLE, LEAVING THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN. AS I TURNED THE TRAILER JACK TO LIFT BOAT TRAILER FROM THE TRAILER HITCH OF THE TITAN TRUCK, WHICH IS THE TOW VEHICLE, IT JUMPED OUT OF PARK INTO REVERSE, AND STARTED TRAVELING BACKWARDS. AS I ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE TRUCK AND PRESS THE BRAKE, THE TREE NEXT TO THE VEHICLE CAUGHT THE DRIVER DOOR. BECAUSE I WAS HOLDING ON TO AND USING THE OPEN DOOR AS LEVERAGE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE CAB TO STOP THE VEHICLE, I WAS THROWN TO THE GROUND VERY CLOSE TO BEING RUN OVER BY THE DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. THE DOOR WHILE PASSING OVER ME CAUSED A SEVERE ABRASION TO MY LEFT ARM. AS THE RESULT OF THE REVERSE MOVEMENT OF MY TRUCK CAUSED BY THE GEAR SHIFT JUMPING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, MY BOAT WAS PUSHED DOWN INTO A CULVERT, DAMAGE AT THIS POINT UNKNOWN. INSURANCE CLAIM PENDING; LIABILITY TO NISSAN CORPORATION TO BE INVESTIGATED. *JB

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER WHICH I PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2004. ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE REVVED UP ON ITS OWN. THE FIRST TWO TIMES I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE ENGINE REVVED UP. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED ON APRIL 12, 2005 AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. I GENTLY APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE AND THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND LUNGED FORWARD. I APPLIED AS MUCH PRESSURE AS I COULD TO THE BRAKE, BUT THE TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THREW THE TRUCK INTO PARK IN ORDER TO STOP THE TRUCK FROM MOVING AND AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NISSAN SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. WHAT DO I DO NOW? I'M NERVOUS DRIVING THE VEHICLE.*AK

MAR 2004 I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. AT 7000 MILES I BEGAN HAVING VIOLENT VIBRATIONS WITH BRAKING. I RETIRNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THEM AND STATED THE CALIPERS NEEDED REINFORNCING WITH A SPECIAL KIT. TWO MONTHS LATER, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP DID ANOTHER FRONT BRAKE REPLACEMENT. EVERY THREE MONTHS I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED, AND LAST MONTH THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS AND THE BRAKES. I AM CONCERNED THAT IN THE PAST 14 MONTHS I HAVE REPLACED MY BRAKES 4 TIMES. THIS IS QUITE EXTREME. THE POINT OF MY COMPLAINT IS TO NOT HAVE TO COMPLAIN AFTER SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY DIES. I LOVE THE TRUCK, BUT I AM WORRIED THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND I HAVE ASKED MY FAMILY NOT TO RIDE IN IT UNTIL THIS MATTER CAN BE RESOLVED IN SOME WAY OTHER THAN SIMPLY REPLACING THE FRONT PADS.*AK

WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ,AND THE RIGHT FOOT IS ON THE ACCELERATOR YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU ARE GOING TO RIP A WIRING HARNES WITH YOUR FOOT ,IT IS ALSO DISTRACTING AND SOME WHAT CONCERNING AS IT TAKES YOU LONGER TO MOVE YOUR FOOT TO THE BRAKE PEDAL,ALSO THE SUSPENSION ON THIS VEHICLE IS NOT STURDY , THE FRONT STRUT ASSEMBLY RATTLES AS IF THE VEHICLE IS 10 YEARS OLD I HAVE SPOKEN TO NISSAN AND THEY SAY THAT SUCH IS NORMAL I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER FRONT END EXPERTS AND THEY SAY THE SUSPENSION ON THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPLACED , I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT AT COLD STARTS THE VEHICLE GIVES OF A BLUE SMOKE WHICH IS NOT NORMAL I AM A VERY METICULOUS PERSON AND TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLE ,FAITHFULL OIL CHANGES ETC. I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD REEVALUTE THIS 2004 AND MAKE CHANGES TO KEEP CUSTOMERS HAPPY. *AK

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.*AK

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 PICKUP AND HAVE BEEN HAVING STEADILY INCREASING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. THEY STARTED VIBRATING AT ABOUT 5,000 MILES AND CONTINUED TO GET WORST. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN TO A NISSAN DEALER TO GET THEM WORKED ON AFTER THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE REALLY BAD WHEN BRAKES WERE USED. THE SERVICE WRITER STATED NISSAN WAS WORKING ON A RECALL EXPECTED IN JUNE. HE HAD THE ROTORS TURNED, DID A FIX KIT ON THE CALIPERS, AND PUT NEW PADS ON. THE ARE WORKING FINE NOW BUT I AM AFRAID IT IS JUST A TEMPORARY FIX. THEY REALLY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS BEGAN HAPPENING. THANKS. *AK

IT STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AFTER TAKING OWNERSHIP ON A NEW 2004 TITAN..AT THAT TIME IT HAD ABOUT 1500 MILES ON IT ..THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED A SHUDDER UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES ...I FINALLY HAD THE TIME AVAILABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD TURN THE ROTORS..I COULDN'T ACCEPT THAT QUICK FIX AND INSISTED ON THE UPDATED ROTORS.. THEY COMPLIED AND THAT WAS YESTERDAY..TODAY THE DEALER CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THE NEW ROTORS ARRIVED AT THE DEALER TODAY..I AM SCHEDULED FOR REPLACEMENT IN 5 DAYS FROM NOW WHEN I FOUND THE TIME TO GET TO THE DEALER.....HOPE IT TAKES CARE OF THE PROBLEM.......*AK
