| Purchased 2005 nissan titan truck on 2/1/2005. on 4/21/05 with 6,000 miles, truck shook/shimmied when applying brakes. under warranty, nissan dealer replaced front pads and resurfaced the front rotors. on 6/23/05 with 11,000 miles, truck again shook/shimmied when applying brakes. still under warranty, nissan dealer replaced front and rear pads and rotors again! on 1/14/08, needed to replace the crappy goodyear wrangler sr-a (p265/70r18) tires that came with the truck (also had 3 flat tires) even though i rotated them regularly (less than 40,000 miles). today, the tire center indicated i needed new brakes. called nissan dealer and am again taking the truck into service to correct and get new rotors/pads. by the way, the warranty on my truck for this repair runs out on 2/1/08. going forward, i will have to be responsible to pay. this stinks! how come there hasn't been a recall and corrective procedure implemented? $37,000 vehicle! *tr | |||

| I own a 2005 nissan titan king cab, which i purchased it in november of 2005. after, approximately 30days of ownership and 500 miles of travel; the front brakes began to experience complications (they would shudder while braking and create an unreasonable amount of brake dust.) i quickly return to my local dealership where i purchased it, for servicing. the nissan dealership repaired the rotors. during the summer of 2006, i began to notice a musty odor emitting from the floor and carpeting of the passenger side. during a routine oil change and requested the mechanic to inspect the truck for the cause of the odor. they couldn't locate the source of the odor. i returned the truck to the dealership for the same problem on several other occasions, during the summer of 2007 odor reappeared; they replaced the rubber gasket around door windows in hopes of resolving the issue. meanwhile the front brakes rotors were replaced again and the gauges (fuel, oil, tach ,voltmeter) acting erratically. the dealership repaired the brakes under my extended warranty & prorated my purchase of a new nissan auto battery; according to service dept. this was the cause of the gauges malfunction. then again in2008, i was told the brakes were no longer under warranty and that the musty odor was caused by water coming into the cabin via a small void in the window sealant around the factory installed windshield | |||

| Noticed road noise that increased with mileage. then slight vibration over time. had tire rotations by oil changers and dealership. they noticed nothing about tires. when condition got more noticeable,i went to 2 tire shops. they first told me that i needed to go to a goodyear shop because i have tire separation. the second was a goodyear store that told me that i had tread separation and twisted belts which were manufactured during the strike at goodyear and made by office personnel. since this was clearly a defective tire, in my eyes, i felt that goodyear should be responsible for the expense of new tires. the goodyear shop stated that they will submit this as road noise and get a minimum l refund back to help offset the cost of new tires that i must buy at the tune of $700.00. of course we didn't want to put the same tire back on the truck. also these tires had 26,300 miles on them. i have done nothing except check pricing at other tire places to see if i am getting any discount at all. totally frustrated i felt that goodyear should pay for these tires to be replaced. also they of course will charge all their other charges, balance,tire disposals,tire charges,balance. even though clearly this is a goodyear fiasco. i was certain that this was happening all over the country, especially since the goodyear shop knew all about this defect. *ak | |||
