POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Attempted to shift vehicle into four wheel drive high mode. 4WD error message appeared in center display, as well as traction control and ABS warning indicators. 4WD was inoperative. Attempted to shift into four wheel drive high multiple times, with no success. Not sure if the traction control and ABS warning indicators are actually indicating that these systems are inoperative or not. These warnings stay on after switching back to 2WD mode, and are only extinguished after the engine is shut off and restarted. I believe the lack of 4WD can be considered a safety issue depending on the weather conditions and where the vehicle is located when this failure occurs. Dealer confirmed issue, and is replacing the transfer case, under warranty. I did a bit of research on an internet forum covering this vehicle, and found that others have had this same issue, and it has been identified as a broken shift fork in the transfer case.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while attempting to add fuel into the vehicle, the fuel overflowed from the fuel filler neck before the fuel tank was full. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the fuel tank and the fuel tank canister to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but continued to experience failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer on 3 different occasions but was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
At highway speed of 65 MPH, passenger-rear tire started to make slight thumping sound. After a few minutes, it became much louder. I pulled off the road to investigate and found that treads were completely delaminating from tire. Tire was inflated to 74 psi and they have always been properly maintained. Only 24,000 miles on tire (vehicle purchased new in Feb, 2019). No injuries but had I not pulled over right away, there is no doubt that a blowout would have occurred with potentially devastating consequences. The vehicle is a 2018 Nissan Titan XD, Platinum Reserve, purchased at Baxter, Nissan of Bellevue, Nebraska.

POWER TRAIN
My Nissan has 35 thousand miles on it it use it as a pleasure vehicle. I was driving the other day and it started shifting really high motor racing loud and not really going anywhere. It was like the transmission was slipping. It had never done this before. I thought it was a isolated incident but the next few days going to get gas and groceries (17 miles one way) it did it again this time starting in low gear the tachometer raced up to 5 -6 thousand rpm before it shifted and when it hit 2gear it did it again and 3rd gear all the time acting like the transmission was slipping. I read on some sites that this model has this problem and nobody seems to want to take accountability for this problem. I paid 33thousand dollars for this truck and it isn’t even broken in but it is broken! So help me what should I do I ask you first so you can give me guidance! Thanks Dennis Nash

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
1.The Engine Sub-Harness Assembly failed; melted, I feel due to the engine heat, because this harness insulation is not heat rated and melted off the wire. 2.The dashboard engine light came on and would not go off. 3.The Robbins Nissan Dealership I took my truck to in Humble, Tx. 77338 lied and said this failure was caused by rodent damage; which I know for a fact that my garage is very clean and I've never even seen any signs of rodents. 4.I first noticed a problem approximately in June of 2021 when the dashboard engine light came on and never went off. 5.By this dealership blaming it on rodent damage, this defective harness was not covered by the Nissan North America, Inc. Warranty, so I was charged $1,522.14 for this repair.

ENGINE
while I'm driving my truck, it has a Cummins Diesel engine, at certain times I guess that the engine goes through a regen process, when it odes this process then the cab is filled with noxious gases. This process last a few minutes and causes you to lower the windows to get rid of the toxic gases. I reported it to my Nissan Dealer twice when I took it in for it's service, they acted like they had never heard about it before and told me that there was no issue with my truck. that I had to drive it more to get it to stop ding it. Is this normal or are we being poisoned or getting cancer from these events?

POWER TRAIN
I PARKED THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLIN BACKWARDS. SECOND DAY PARKED IT AGAIN AT NIGHT AND WHEN I WOKE UP THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED DOWN AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ACCORDING TO THEM NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I WENT ON MY OWN AND DID THREE PARKING TESTS AND EVERY TIME IT ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. I FILMED THE INCIDENT AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. AT THAT TIME THEY KEPT THE TRUCK FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. THEY HAD A SPECIALIST FROM CORPORATE NISSAN COME IN AND HIS FINDINGS WERE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FINE AND THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THAT DOESN'T SOLVE THE ISSUE OF THE VEHICLE ROLLING BACKWARDS WHILE PARKED.I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 1/2 YEARS AND NO ISSUES UNTIL NOW. SNOW IS NOT A NEW SITUATION BECAUSE I LIVE IN UPSTATE NY. IT JUST STARTED ON 1/1/21 AND IT HASN'T STOPPED ROLLING BACKWARDS. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NISSAN IS NOT ADDRESSING. I DO HAVE THE VIDEOS BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO UPLOAD.

SEAT BELTS
I HAVE A 2018 NISSAN TITAN SV XD, SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW THERE IS NOW WARNING BUZZER FOR THE DRIVER SEAT IF THE SEAT BELT IS UNBUCKLED AND YOUR DRIVING,THIS ALSO APPLIES IF THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT WHO IS NOT BUCKLED UP, THE ONLY THING THAT SHOWS IS A ICON ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. AT ONE POINT WE ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT ONLY TO TELL US THIS IS NORMAL.. AS A SERIOUS SEAT BELT USER WHEN DRIVING, WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE WITH NO BUZZER WARNING OF A UNBUCKLED SEAT BELT WHILE DRIVING. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN APRIL 2019. THIS ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION IN MAY 2019.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE IS A VOX SMELL/FUMES/VAPORS FROM THE DIESEL POWER PLANT THAT KEEPS COMING INTO THE CAB CAUSING THE OCCUPANTS TO INHALE THESE POTENTIAL POISONOUS/HAZARDOUS GASES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR ME NOT DRIVING IT ENOUGH.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
1. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE BRAKED HARD ON THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID A CAR THAT FAILED TO YIELD WHILE MERGING. THE OTHER VEHICLE THEN BRAKED HARD AND I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO GET IN FRONT BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE DID NOT SHUT OFF, BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT REV THE RPM'S OR HAVE ANY RESPONSE TO THE GAS PEDAL FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS. LUCKILY A COLLISION DID NOT OCCUR. 2. WHILE TAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A STEEP INCLINE DRIVE FROM A HIGHWAY THE TRUCK ONCE AGAIN WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE TRUCK WAS JUST SITTING ON THE INCLINE FOR ABOUT THREE SECONDS BEFORE IT RESPONDED TO THE GAS PEDAL AND CLIMBED THE HILL. THERE WAS A VEHICLE FOLLOWING BEHIND INTO THE DRIVE AND HAD TO STOP TO AVOID COLLIDING INTO MY REAR END AS THE TRUCK WOULD NOT GO FOR A FEW SECONDS. I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW TO DESCRIBE THESE TWO INCIDENTS OTHER THAN IT IS A "DEAD PEDAL" FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHEN PROPULSION IS TRULY NEEDED

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2018 NISSAN TITAN PRO-4X WITH 7118 MILES. TRUCK HAS BEGUN TO REV HIGH DURING ACCELERATION, SLOWING ACCELERATION & SHIFTING. THE TRUCK ALSO RANDOMLY DOWN SHIFTS DURING HIGHWAY USE. THIS TAKES PLACE DURING NORMAL OR EXTREME ACCELERATION ON BOTH HIGHWAY & STREET USE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE LACK OF ACCELERATION THAT MAY BE NEEDED IN ORDER TO SAFELY MERGE INTO TRAFFIC.

ON NO LESS THAN 30 OCCASIONS, THIS TRUCK, UPON ENTERING AN INTERSECTION OR ENTERING A PASSING LANE WENT "PEDAL DEAD" MEANING THE ACCELERATOR FAILED TO OPERATE LEAVING ME, MY FAMILY AND THE PEOPLE IN THE ONCOMING VEHICLES IN DIRECT DANGER OF COLLISION.. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAY THEY FIND NOTHING. I HAVE FOUND 20 PLUS COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING FROM OTHER CONSUMERS. THIS TIME MY TRUCK IS NOW ON DAY 20 AT THE DEALER. WITH THIS TRUCK DYEING UPON ENTERING INTERSECTIONS AND PASSING LANES, SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. I BOTH THIS NEW, MY FIRST COMPLAINT WAS IN JANUARY OF 2109 AT 242 MILES, NOW 11 MONTHS LATER IT ONLY HAS 3300 MILES ON IT BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY GOING TO CREATE AN ACCIDENT SITUATION. THE FAULTS OCCUR WHEN TURNING ONTO A RAMP, PULLING INTO AN INTERSECTION, OR MANEUVERING INTO THE PASSING LANE. I HAVE SIGNED LETTERS FROM TWO PASSENGERS IN HAND WHO HAVE NOT ONLY EXPERIENCED IT FIRST HAND, THEY WILL NO LONGER RIDE IN THE TRUCK AS WELL AS OVER 20 CONSUMER COMPLAINTS FROM COMPLAINT.COM FOR THE SAME MATTER

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING GAS TANK IT HAS A HIGH PITCH WHISTLE AND BLOWS GAS BACK OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND ON THE GROUND CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. NISSAN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE AND HAS ISSUED A TSB BUT I FEEL IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BURNT OR KILLED THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE THE TRUCK IS FUELING AND STATIONARY THE FILLER NECK EMITS A HIGH-PITCHED WHINE NOISE. THE NOISE VARIES IN PITCH WITH RELATION TO HOW FULL THE TANK BECOMES. THE MENTIONED COMPLAINT HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE FIRST FILL UP WHEN I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT. ADDITIONALLY, I'VE MADE ATTEMPTS OF INFORMING TWO SEPARATE DEALERS OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND PROVIDED VIDEO OF THE COMPLAINT. ONE ASKED FOR A COPY OF VIDEO, AND THE OTHER SAID THE ENGINEERS ARE AWARE AND WILL RESPOND SHORTLY. THAT WAS SEVERAL MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS COMPLAINT AND STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING.
