BRAKE PROBLEM DEFECT IN TOYOTA TUNDRA,
NISSAN ARMADA AND NISSAN TITAN

Certain of theses vehicles have defects that may be considered chronic. Some owners of Toyota Tundras, Nissan Armadas and Nissan Titans (2004 - 2005) have had fairly well known brake problem defects. I have successfully brought Lemon Law claims for clients on these brake problems. I have handled eight different claims on Tundra trucks alone for the brake pulsation or vibration defect. Some Nissan Armadas and Titans are having a similar brake problem with pulsation and vibration when braking. The shaking of the vehicle can range from mild to quite severe.

The brake problems usually result in warped rotors and drums, with some vehicles needing a brake job every 5 to 10 thousand miles. One client had 8 brake jobs in 110,000 miles. There are literally dozens of complaints of brake pulsation / vibration for Tundra trucks on the National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration website. NHTSA is starting to receive similar complaints on Armadas and Titans.

Toyota has issued several Technical Service Bulletins over the years in an attempt to solve the Tundra brake defects problem, with little success. Nissan is beginning to grapple with the problem now. Both continue to sell the vehicle without any disclosure of brake problems. If you have a Toyota Tundra, Nissan Armada or Nissan Titan, with this problem please feel free to call or email our office.
