NHTSA Complaint #10206525 — 2004 NISSAN CREW

ON 10/12/07 I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN ON THE INTERSTATE. MY BRAKES TOTALLY FAILED AND I HAD TO COAST AND USE THE TRANSMISSION TO STOP. THEIR WAS MINIMAL BRAKING WHEN I HAD THE PEDAL IN THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR THE BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD AFTER TELLING THE PERSON WHAT HAPPENED THAT MY COMPUTER HAD A GLITCH. IT TOOK HER LIKE TWO SECONDS TO COME UP WITH HOW TO FIX IT OVER THE PHONE. I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY FUNNY THAT WHAT THEY CALLED A GLITCH COULD HAVE KILLED ME AND OTHERS. THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT WHEN I TOOK IT IN. FROM RESEARCH THIS SOUNDS PRETTY COMMON WITH THIS TRUCK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT RESETTING OF THE COMPUTER WOULD FIX IT. IF IT IS THAT SIMPLE THEN NISSAN SHOULD DO A RECALL AND RESET THEM ALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *JB
