2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

THE THIRD SET OF FRONT BRAKES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON THE CONSUMER'S 2004 NISSAN TITAN DUE TO SEVERE SHUDDER AND VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 9400 MILES. *NM *SC *JB

WHILE BRAKING AT ANY SPEED THE STEERING WHEEL PULSATED. DEALERSHIP INFORMED/REPAIRED THE WARPED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. CONSUMER WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *AK

WHEELS SHOOK, AND THE BRAKES WERE NOT PERFORMING PROPERLY. BRAKES ROTORS WERE REPLACED ON EACH TIME WHEN VEHICLE WAS SERVICED. *AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP COMPLETELY. THIS CAUSED THE DRIVER TO COLLIDED WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A BODY SHOP FOR INSPECTION. THE CAUSE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED AT THIS TIME. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

THE TOP OF MY SHOE RUBS AGAINST THE WIRING HARNESS ABOVE THE ACCELLERATOR PEDAL. THIS IS DISCONCERTING BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES (DEPENDING ON THE EXACT POSITION OF THE HEEL OF MY FOOT ON THE FLOOR) REQUIRES EXTRA EFFORT TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELLERATOR PEDAL. IT TAKES AN EXTRA FRACTION OF A SECOND TO MOVE MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND I FEEL THIS IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY WILL NOT MOVE THE WIRES. I HAVE ALSO CALLED THE MANUFACTURER'S SERVICE NUMBER AND THEY WILL NOT RECOMMEND ANY CHANGES. I JUST WANT TO MAKE A NOTE THAT MY SHOE SIZE IS NOT PARTICULARLY LARGE (SIZE 10), AND THAT I DRIVE WITH THE HEEL OF MY FOOT ON THE FLOOR (I DON'T LIFT MY FOOT UP TO HIT THE WIRING HARNESS).*AK

WITHIN EVERY 2500 MILES FRONT ROTORS PREMATURELY WORE OUT. BRAKE ROTORS HAD BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES WITHIN ONE YEAR. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM.*AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE SOFT. THE FRONT END SHIMMIED WHEN BRAKING. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED FRONT PADS. ALSO, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT A SUB STANDARD BRAKE SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALER OFFERED TO TURN THE ROTORS AND REPLACE THE PADS WITH AN UPGRADE. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE 2004 MODELS WERE TOO SMALL.*JB

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE JERKED AND VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION NUMEROUS TIMES, AND MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

BRAKE ROTORS WERE REPLACED TWICE, AND THE BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED AND TURNED SEVERAL TIMES. HOWEVER, THEY KEPT WEARING OUT. *AK

WHILE BRAKING FOR A RED LIGHT THE CONSUMER DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL SIMULTANEOUSLY. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.*AK THIS MAY HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL ARE TOO CLOSE. *NM
