Titan brakes have cost Nissan more money than I can imagine, and I'm not just talking the cost of repairs, which has been enormous. Think buybacks. A great many buybacks.The brake rotors intially on the trucks were too small, apparently, and would warp badly about every 4k miles. The problem was super-widespread, with lots of Titan owners pretty upset. Nissan couldn't get new and bigger parts built fast enough, so they basically gave dealers carte blanche to keep replacing pads and rotors on Titans -- like I said, if a Titan went two oil changes without developing a nasty vibration when braking, it was doing great -- until Nissan could get the correct rotors out there. Every rear-rotors-and-all-pads replacement sets Nissan back $700+. That's just to get the problem fixed. That doesn't count the multiple resurfacings-and-pads-replacements that were done to these trucks just to placate owners until the new rotors became widely available. And the rental vehicles which Nissan handed out to Titan customers who were having these concerns. Nissan, as a rule, has no rental-car program. The only way you'll get a rental under warranty is if you've purchased their Security Plus extended warranty, or if their computer system deems you a worthy candidate for goodwill-warranty consideration.We really don't see many big tranny jobs with Nissans, honestly. But the Titans have had a few. And the 350Zs. And I'm calling to mind quite a few Titan power-steering-rack replacements, which you NEVER see on the other models.And yes, we DO get Titan owners who complain about their trucks' fuel mileage. Egads -- what did these guys think the mileage would be on those huge trucks? A previous service director of mine drove a Titan for a while. He felt all warm and fuzzy inside if he could get 10 miles per gallon out of the thing.
