2004 Nissan Frontier Brakes Problems

“Traveling approximately 35mph, vehicles in front came to an abrupt stop. Nissan Frontier failed to stop in a timely manner, resulting in crash. Brake pedal went to floor without the truck stopping. Resulting crash did not deploy airbags. Vehicle was totaled. Driver was hospitalized.”

“Truck total mileage is only 55,000 as it is not used very much. 3 issues occurred approx. At 49,000miles. 1) engine started to miss. Upon checking spark plugs it was discovered that the plug cavities in the head were full of oil. The valve cover gasket seals had leaked and the oil filled spark plug holes caused it to miss. This is not covered under warranty so repairs were done at my cost. Had to replace all of the top end valve cover gasket and spark plug hole seals as well as the cam end seals. …”

“Nissan 2004 Frontier xe brakes failed without warning causing a collision into an apartment complex entry sign made out of cement blocks. The damage to the vehicle resulted in a total loss. If the vehicle had been repairable, a serious concern for driver and passenger safety due to the high probability of repeated brake failure. A total brake system repair had been done by a reputable repair shop approximately one and one-half years prior to this incident.”

“While the vehicle was off and parked it rolled down a slight incline of 50-60 feet and rolled into a ravine. Dealer and the manufacturer were notified.”

“As I approached a stop sign on a secondary paved highway entering a primary highway, the above vehicle began to skid on a thin layer of gravel laid down on the blacktop for recent ice and snow control. The road was currently clear and dry. I applied the brakes which went halfway to the floorboard without antilock action. Concurrently the accelerator maintained the current speed of approximately 20 miles per hour. The vehicle continued through the stop sign on a collision course with an oncoming vehicle from the left moving at approximately 60 miles per hour. …”
