NISSAN TITAN BRAKE PROBLEM

The Nissan Titan has been a troublesome vehicle particularly with brakes.  Nissan brake problems include warped rotors, repeated repairs, and reliability issues and we are representing owners of Nissan Titans with brake problems.   A writer to a Nissan Forum said, "My brakes on the New Titan were vibrating and they told me that they had defective brake pads. I got them replaced but they are still terrible with brake dust. Anyone got a solution for the brake dust? do you know of any ceramics that are available." http://www.nissanforums.com/archive/index.php/t-58981.html Here are complaints about Titan brakes filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration:
