The part that failed was the delta stroke sensor i was coming home from the store and suddenly I noticed the brake light came on and when I pressed the brakes it made a grinding noise like it was trying to lock the brakes so it was almost impossible to stop
Brake light will come on and brakes will grind and crunch when trying to stop. After shutting of and restarting vehichle the problem will go away temporarily.
When in motion, vehicle brakes occasionally fail. Dynamic control off light, brake light, and slip light turn on at same time that brake pedal loses all resistance and is easily pushed all the way to the floor. Brake power significantly reduced and need to be actively pumped to slow down and come to a stop. At a stop, vehicle can be turned off and back on then warning all lights will go off and brakes operate as normal. Dangerous situation when attempting to slow down, especially at higher speeds. Occurs 6-7 times per year.
"takata recall" rear axels and differental leaking after being replaced 3 times when first discovered in 2016. Vehicle is very shakey and breaks are not responsive and oil smell is horrific
The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Titan. While driving various speeds, the ABS seized without warning and there was an abnormal noise occasionally coming from both front wheels. On several occasions, the brakes independently activated while the vehicle was being driven. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but they were unable to produce a fault code or duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 78,500.

I bought this Titan at tri-state Nissan in winchester, va. My brake rotor were completely rusted due to bad metal used - I had to replace them at 30,000 miles. My left rear wheel seal was defective and started started leaking fluid at 70,000. Had to replace even though I had extended warranty. Catalytic manifolds went bad and they knew it when it was under warranty - but they didn't replace them. Paint problem when the truck is cold - big giant spots in the clear coat. The manifolds manifolds need to be recalled because the exhaust is entering the vehicle.

Rear end axle seals are leaking, after looking into this and several hours I found I could be caused from the axle vent not working properly, this causes the rear seals to be pushed out and fluid to leak onto the brakes, seems to be a huge problem and safety concern, I was pulling a small trailer at the time and nearly avoided a car that pulled out in front of me.
Steering wheel shakes when applying brakes. A few days later a loud grinding noise in the front end. Took the 2006 Titan to service center and was told needed total front end brake job. The brake pads went thru the rotors. A few months later there was a recall on the truck for something else. Took it to the dealer for the recall and was told the front brake system had to be replaced. Two to three months after I just had it done. I told the service manager that I just had it done a few months ago. I asked to see the problem and they would not let me in to look at the problem myself. They just noted that I refused service. I took the truck back to the service station that did the work (because the dealer said it was not covered). There was nothing wrong with the brakes at that time like the dealer told me. Now 8/21/2014 at 53000 miles the front end brake system is gone again. I applied the brake and the truck would not stop. I had to go off the road so I did not hit the vehicle in front of me. I owned 6 Nissan and never has this kind of problem before. I do not understand why Nissan is waiting until someone gets killed to fix this problem. I was also told that the truck does not stop because the ABS system kicks in and does not let the truck stop suddenly when needed. As of right now I can not drive the truck until I can afford to get the brake system repaired again. The truck is not safe to drive. Wake up Nissan. Do not let someone die because of defects.
The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Titan. The contact stated after having NHTSA campaign I.D. numbers remedied on the vehicle 10V074000 (fuel system) and 10V517000 (engine). After the vehicle were repaired the power train was defective. The contact was unable to drive the vehicle off of the dealers parking lot. The vehicle would not move forward or in reverse. The dealer performed a diagnostic test that displayed a defect to the front brake solenoid. The contact called the manufacturer regarding the power train defect. The manufacturer stated the recall repair and the brake solenoid was unrelated. The contact did not have the solenoid repaired. The failure mileage was 122,000.
I own a 2006 Nissan Titan with 47000 miles. Partial VIN "1N6ba07A0" while taking it to the local midas shop for an oil change. The mechanic pointed out a leak on left rear axle seal. They quoted me with $350 to replace the seal. However they also suggested to have the dealership attempt to replace under a recall/ warranty... the dealership quoted $1900 to replace the whole rear axle under the guidance from their technicians and it being over the manufactures warranty and/or no recall. This sounds like a ripoff. Here is a quote I found on the club Titan forum site. www.clubtitan.org/forums/archive/index.php/T-32631.html "left rear axle seal blew out and leaked differential fluid. Differential fluid leaking on rear brake rotors which could cause brake failure, which was a major safety concern to me. At time of failure at 8000 miles no suspension modifications had been done to vehicle. Also, the rear differential oil will slowly leak and cause the rear differential to lose fluid and fail. Nissan replaced spacer axle (43070-7S200), bearing (40210-7S210), and seal (43252-7S200). As this seemed to be a very common problem with the Nissan Titan, Nissan should address this issue and offer a permanent fix so weould not be faced with the safety issue in the future."
2006 Nissan Titan 4X4 currently with 80,200 miles. Left and right rear axle oil leak. At approximately 65000 miles, during a transmission oil change at a Nissan dealer, mechanic noticed the passenger rear axle was leaking. The service representative stated it would be about $500 to repair. He also stated that no recall had been issued. After having the engine oil changed on July 2012, I noticed my driver side rear axle leaking now. Several similar issues have been posted online. Nissan should push the manufacture to have this hazardous issue resolved very soon and Nissan should replace the seal at no cost or at a low discounted price.
