| Brakes feel like the abs has engaged and the following warning light on the dash come on; brake, vdc off, slip, and service engine. this started happening soon after i purchased the truck new. dealer ran diagnostics but couldn't find anything. this problem has happened well over 20 times while backing out of my driveway and driving at high and low speeds. once this happens the brakes feel mushy and make a loud grinding noise. the only fix is to stop the truck, put it in park and stop and restart the engine. this is dangerous when it happens on the freeway. the occurrence of this problem is very intermittent. last occurrence was on july 25th and before that july 18th. it may go a month or so before happening again. two other employees at my company also have 2004 titans and have the same problem. my local nissan dealer suggest that the next time it happens to bring it to them so that their mechanic can see the issue first hand. | |||

| Brakes go into in abs mode for no reason, truck becomes hard to stop; road conditions were dry- 80 degrees and sunny. i was coming home from the nissan dealer because of a brake, slip, vdc light (anytime) and brake light - abs coming on (only during braking), both are intermittent. the friday before i had nissan look at this very condition(s) they agreed i had a problem, and upgraded the software. 2 days later the light still came on and stayed on. the only difference was after shutting down the truck and restarting, the lights would stay on, something that did not use to happen. . . nissan has a brake issue, i've seen many of complaints that are the same as mine- loss of braking because the abs kicks on (brake light comes on when this happens) and will not correct/stop it-self until the engine is shut down and restarted. restarting the truck when the abs is hampering the stopping ability is not very practical, and very dangerous in most driving conditions. when this happened to me i came very close to hitting the car in front and swerved to the edge of the road. since the 2nd visit to nissan i had the master cylinder with stability control option replaced, that was the dealership recommendation after they downloaded the codes(x2), they stated the part had to be ordered. cost for repair was quoted at $650.00. *tr | |||
