Heat shield on bottom of 2000 Nissan Xterra SE became loose and required tightening to stop rattling on numerous occasions since bought car new in the end of 1999 from a dealership in Chicago - maybe 6-12 times. While driving on 1/17/07, brakes just gave out. When car brought to shop, it turns out the heat shield was rubbing on the steel brake line on the passenger side/bottom of the engine and vibration/rubbing had finally eroded the steel brake line to the point it began to leak.
