Here is one for $3k which is what got knocked off my purchase (below dealer invoice) 6-pot AP Racing Calipers and 15" Rotors:

And this was just a quick search.

Sequoia/Tundra when it first came out had undersized brakes for 2 years, many recalls due to undersized brakes
Subaru SVX again heavier than their normal cars brakes were undersized for the vehicle
Honda Pilot/Oddesy Minivan Many many brake issues the first 2 years they were out
I could go on and on.
The problem is undersized rotors/calipers/poor pad material for the speed and weight of the vehicles. They address this with larger rotors, different pads etc.

Hot judder is usually produced as a result of longer more moderate braking from high speed where the vehicle does not come to a complete stop. It commonly occurs when a motorist decelerates from speeds of around 120-km/h to about 60-km/h, which results in severe vibrations being transmitted to the driver. These vibrations are the result of uneven thermal distributions believed to be the result of phenomena called Hot Spots. Hot Spots are classified as concentrated thermal regions that alternate between both sides of a disc that distort it in such a way that produces a sinusoidal waviness around its edges. Once the brake pads (friction material / brake lining) comes in contact with the sinusoidal surface during braking severe vibrations are induced as a result and can produce hazardous conditions for the person driving the vehicle.
Cold judder on the other hand is the result of uneven disc wear patterns or DTV. These variations in the disc surface are usually the result of extensive vehicle road usage. DTV is usually attributed to the following causes; waviness of rotor surface, misalignment of axis (Runout), elastic deflection, thermal distortion, wear and friction material transfers.
Seems they have licked it with the last upgrade done. I will start towing a 9000lb Performance Boat trailer (triple Axle) in a few weeks and will report back how it handles it and how the brakes hold up.

Your welcome to come test drive my lemon Nissan vehicle before buy-buck in a couple of weeks, if it will run; you have a 50-50 shot, you have to be careful has the transmission takes a few seconds to slip into first gear. And if the BCM faults again after having been replaced 5 times, the gauges stop working, drive carefully has you won't be able to tell your speed or RPMs, or fuel level. Also, even though I am on my 4th brake system, there is still a judder. Also my rear axle is leaking fluid because of a busted seal. It also seems mis-aligned. My 4x4 also won't engage, so please don't take it off-road. Also be careful has the window regulators have been replaced after the window fall into the door. Also my passenager door handle has broken off. I also just had my engine harness replaced.
At least the BBB agreed this was a junky vehicle when I towed the vehicle to the arbitration hearing, and so did Nissan conceding and not presenting their defense. Also on my first one, Nissan just gave up trying to fix it, and volunteerly bought it back stating "unable to repair." Two Nissan 04 vehicles and two lemons, each fully serviced through the dealership (oil changes/scheduled maintenance), each with low miles, and well taken care of.
Let's agree to disagree on the perception of Nissan, guys.

vehicle he needs it's therapy. He has won his BBB hearing and will be paid for his losses but that isn't enough in his eyes, it's his personal Jihad against Nissan and his dealer.
It is to bad that he had a truck that wasn't right for him but he has gone thru the system to get releif and the system worked but he still goes on and on and on.
These forums are meant to help us ask and share and learn but his domination of any point and question is making the forums a joke.
At this point he needs to accept the facts of what happened and also accept that anything man-made brakes. All manufactures have issues
Nissan is working to make the Titan better and the truck made today
and the 2008 has many parts and systems that are different then those from 3 or 4 years ago.
I have owned f150's and Rangers and Dodges and the Titan is the best truck i have ever owned. It has a unique look and driving personality
I have had a great dealer experience and will be getting a 2008.
But i am sure that razerthunder will responded to this message with the same tired rants that have lost any meaning. Hopefully not and we can all live in the hear and now.

It is obvious that neither of you share the same opinions or views. That is not an issue. However, what is a problem is the personal insults included with your dissenting views. If you wish to continue attacking each other, you can do so in email. You each have a CarSpace page which contains a free email account. You can also use the chat feature on CarSpace.

find very enjoyable. The looks set you apart from the crowd. The new
GMC/Chevy look bland the Toyota looks better in pictures then in person. I have had many Fords and a Dodge over the years and none
provided the same satisfying experience as the Titan.
Just one guys opinion. :shades:
roominess, and downright reliability of this beast. I did put a few power adders as well as accessories to mod this
truck but in any instance would recommend it to anyone.
You may want to check out some of the Titan forums.

I don't consider it blingage until the cost is above and beyond what any reasonable person could afford.

There seems to be alot of hope in the 2008 Titans, personally, I would base my decision on history versus hope. Although, I would expect Nissan to get something right after 4 years of engineering and consumer feedback, or would I?
Everyone is very happy owning these cars and trucks. I think mileage is somewhere in the 50,000-65,000 miles. I have a Nissan and a BMW. Have had no problems with the Nissan.
I think Nissan has had some problems in the past. But others like me have had only good things to say about Nissan. So please do not say that we are all Titan lovers. This is degrading and it brings much disrespect to this forum. Good luck to your future purchases.
Also, if anyone has installed a bed cover/tonneau top on their truck, please let me know.
