Hi,

I (mostly) love my 2004 Titan, purchased in October 2004.  There's a lot of bang for the buck, even though the 'deals' for the big 3 P/Us were better. I could have bought a $28K Ram CC for $18.5K back then, but

No 4x4
5-spd
Rubber Floor Mats
No back seat room
All seats sucked
No under back seat storage

My truck stickered at $30,300, including a 6-CD Changer, floor mats, mud guards, bedliner, and bed extender.  The only thing I wish I had that I don't is remote mirrors and steering wheel controls for the stereo.

I had some squeaks initially that were corrected.  Some of the interior materials leave a little to be desired, but I love this truck.  EXCEPT,

1. Front Brakes shudder - I found the TSB here.  Thanks, I appreciate that.  I will be getting that fixed.
2. Acceleration - I read where one person here was complaining about that, mostly about not being able to burn rubber.  Honestly, I don't care about that.  But there is a definite hesitation to this engine, sometimes a +1 second delay in throttle response.  I think this is unacceptable.  At idle, when I depress the gas, I can hear a whoosh sound prior to actual throttle response.  When depressing the gas at speed, there is nothing initially, then a lurch forward.  Anyone have a clue on this problem?  Thanks in advance.
