SUSPENSION, WHEELS
PRO COMP LIFT KIT WAS INSTALLED BY DEALERSHIP. IN JANUARY 29, 2018 WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 20 MPH ON A FLAT, PAVED, RESIDENTIAL CITY STREET, A "NUT/BOLT" CAME OFF, CAUSING THE SUSPENSION TO COLLAPSE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BECOME INCAPACITATED, WHEN LEFT REAR TIRE WAS PUSHED INTO REAR WHEEL WELL. THERE ARE ALSO ISSUES WITH FRONT LEFT TIRE RUBBING AGAINST WHEEL WELL AND "SLIPPING" WHEN TURNING TO PARK.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY AND MY ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER, PUT IT IN PARK TURN THE KEY OFF THEN STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. STARTED YESTERDAY, AND DOES IT ABOUT EVERY TEN MILES. STARTS RIGHT BACK UP EVERY TIME. SOUNDS LIKE THE IPDM BUT FENTON NISSAN IN LEES SUMMIT MISSOURI SAID MY TRUCKS NOT RECALLED. PLEASE HELP! NO SPIT AND SPUTTER, IT JUST DIES OUT OF NO WHERE. IT ALMOST CAUSED A REAR END COLLISION WHILE PULLIN ON INTERSTATE. THIS RELAY PROBLEM IS VERY UNSAFE. PLEASE HELP!

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE IMPACTED ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THE REAR AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS; STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS STOPPED WORKING IN 2008, ABS LIGHT REMAINS ON, BACKUP SENSOR WENT OUT 11-17 AND MOST RECENTLY I STARTED MY VEHICLE ONE MORNING AND SPEAKERS STARTED POPPING REALLY LOUD AND IMMEDIATELY SMELLED OF BURNED WIRES AND JUST TWO DAYS LATER VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED. AFTER CHARGING WORKED FINE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT JUST REPEATED THE SAME SITUATION. THIS VEHICLE HAS GAVE ME SO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS STARTING A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE. ALSO NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE A FRAMES WELDED JOINTS IS CRACKED. I AM A CERTIFIED WELDING INSPECTOR AND CAN SAY THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURER DISCONTINUITY. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WENT OUT YEARS AFTER PURCHASE IN 2006. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. I AM THE ONE AND ONLY OWNER AND PURCHASED IT NEW WITH ONLY 17 MILES ON IT. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD SO MANY ELECTRICAL/MECHANICAL ISSUES THAT IM STARTING TO THINK I SHOULD APPLY UNDER LEMON LAW BUT I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.

AIR BAGS
THE TITAN WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON CITY STREET AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS INTERSECTION. IMPACT WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND BOTH VEHICLES SUSTAINED HEAVY DAMAGE. DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT THERE WAS WHITE SMOKE AND SMELL OF GUN POWDER INSIDE THE TRUCK JUST AFTER COLLISION. NO VISUAL SIGNS OF ANY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. NO OTHER VERIFICATION, BUT SEEMS POSSIBLE A CHARGE IGNITED BUT FAILED TO INFLATE A BAG OR OTHER FAILURE. STRAIGHT FRONT IMPACT AT 45 SEEMS LIKE PRIME PARAMETERS TO INFLATE BAG. POLICE REPORT: 2/21/18 PLANO TEXAS REPORT# 2018-32397 PICTURES INCLUDED TO SHOW DAMAGE FROM IMPACT. *TT UPDATED 10/1/18*JB

ENGINE
ON FEB 16 2018 I WAS DRIVING MY 2017 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK WITH 5000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER ALONG A RURAL TWO LANE ROAD IN MISSOURI WITH THREE OTHER PASSENGERS RIDING WITH ME. WE HEARD A NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND SUDDENLY THE POWER STEERING OF THE VEHICLE CEASED TO OPERATE AND THE TRUCK DRIFTED ACROSS THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINES OF THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY NO CARS WERE COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND I STEERED HARD TO THE RIGHT AND SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN RAPIDLY. I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE TO A GRAVEL PARKING LOT OF A CHURCH AND WE EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND COULD SEE THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS NO LONGER IN PLACE. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP 55 MILES AWAY AND WE AWAITED THEIR REPORT. SEVERAL DAYS LATER I WAS INFORMED THAT THE BELT TENSIONER BRACKET HAD BROKEN IN HALF AND NISSAN WAS GOING TO ORDER PARTS AS THEY WERE NOT IN STOCK AT THE DEALER. REMEMBER THIS IS A NEW 2017 TRUCK WITH ONLY 5000 MILES ON IT. THE SERPENTINE BELT RUNS ALL ASPECTS OF THE VEHICLE AND WITHOUT IT ENGAGED THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNDRIVEABLE. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK WITH NO MODIFICATIONS OF ANY KIND. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME THAT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE U.S. WITH THIS MALFUNCTION TO DATE. THIS PROBLEM COULD POTENTIALLY KILL.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE BACK TWO DOOR LATCHES DO NOT OPEN UNTILLED JIGGLED OR CONTINUALLY VIBRATED. THIS WOULD NOT ALLOW THE DOORS TO BE OPENED IN THE EVENT OF A EMERGENCY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO BE REPAIRED BUT TO NO AVAIL. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHILE TRYING TO OPEN DOORS. ITS THIS A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THE OCCUPANTS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE DURING A CRITICAL TIME?

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UNINTENDED ACCELERATION MULTIPLE TIMES IN MY POSSESSION. A LAUNCH FORWARD INTO ANOTHER INDIVIDUALS VEHICLE. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND TIME WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT AND FINALLY THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. YET WITH A SIMPLE UPDATE NNA CORP DECIDES THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO COME BACK INTO MY HANDS BUT THE DEALER DOES NOT FEEL THE SAME IN THIS SITUATION. I'VE BEEN WITH OUT MY VEHICLE FOR OVER 3 MONTHS NOW. AND I DON'T FEEL IT'S SAFE. *BF *TR

ENGINE
WHEN THE DIESEL ENGINE GOES INTO DPF REGENERATION MODE, THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE FILLS WITH UNPLEASANT FUMES THAT SMELL LIKE EVAPORATED DIESEL FUEL OR OTHER NOXIOUS SUBSTANCE THAT IS IRRITATING TO MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND MAY CAUSE HEALTH ISSUES. THE PROBLEM IS WORSE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT LOW SPEED OR IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC WHEN EXHAUST FUMES ARE ABLE TO COLLECT AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE MOST RECENT INSTANCE OCCURRED IN A DRIVE-THRU LINE AT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, AND WAS SO PUNGENT THAT I WAS FORCED TO ABANDON THE LINE, PARK THE VEHICLE, AND EVACUATE MYSELF TO FRESH AIR.

POWER TRAIN, STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
OUR 2016 NISSAN TITAN XD WAS IDLING ON A LEVEL CARPORT WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. NO ONE WAS IN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. I WAS UNLOADING TOOLS FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. AFTER ABOUT 5-7 MINUTES, WHILE I WAS STANDING IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO ROLL VERY SLOWLY BACKWARDS. IT ROLLED OVER A SMALL CONCRETE BUMP (INTENDED TO PREVENT CARS FROM ROLLING OFF THE CARPORT), DOWN ABOUT A 6 INCH STEP DOWN, ACROSS ANOTHER 10 FEET OR SO OF CONCRETE AND INTO THE BRICK WALL AT THE BACK OF THE CARPORT. I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO SAFELY JUMP DOWN, OPEN THE TRUCK DOOR AND ENGAGE THE BRAKE. THE TOTAL DISTANCE THE TRUCK ROLLED WAS LESS THAN 10 YARDS. THE TAILGATE OF THE TRUCK WAS DAMAGED BADLY WHEN IT HIT THE BRICK WALL, BUT IT HELPED TO STOP THE TRUCK. WHEN I GOT INTO THE TRUCK TO DRIVE IT BACK UP ONTO THE PARKING AREA OF THE CARPORT, THE PARKING BRAKE WAS STILL ENGAGED. I DISENGAGED IT TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE. WE HAVE HAD ISSUES IN THE PAST WITH THE ENGINE REVVING AND EXTREMELY HARD SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS. THERE IS ALSO A HEAVY SMELL OF EXHAUST INSIDE THE CAB OF THE TRUCK VERY OFTEN. THE SMELL IS STRONG ENOUGH TO CAUSE HEADACHES. WE USUALLY HAVE TO CRACK THE WINDOW WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT OFTEN. I AM NOT SURE IF WHAT HAPPENED TODAY WAS A BRAKE PROBLEM, ENGINE PROBLEM OR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, BUT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUE. *BF *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
WITH VEHICLE STOPPED, ENGINE OFF, THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. ALL FOUR DOORS ARE SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK, BUT DID NOT DO SO. I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE DOOR MOUNTED CONTROLS, BUT THE DOORS DID NOT UNLOCK. I TRIED TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOORS USING THE DOOR LOCKS IN THE ARMREST, BUT THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN. I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE KEY FOB REMOTE CONTROL, BUT DOORS DID NOT UNLOCK. THE DOOR LOCK LEVERS WOULD FLIP FROM THE LOCKED TO UNLOCKED POSITION, BUT THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN. I STARTED AND STOPPED THE ENGINE TO RESET THE DOOR LOCKS, BUT THE DOORS DID NOT UNLOCK. I LOWERED THE SIDE WINDOW AND ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE, BUT THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I REPEATED THE ABOVE ACTIONS SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. A PASSERBY WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. AFTER CLIMBING OUT THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR, I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE OTHER THREE DOORS FROM OUTSIDE WITH NO SUCCESS. I USED MY KEY IN THE DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVERS DOOR, BUT THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK AND OPEN. I REPEATED THIS SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. OVER SOME MINUTES OF TRYING ALL THE ABOVE FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, THE TWO REAR DOORS FINALLY OPENED. THE DRIVERS DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK AND OPEN. AFTER CLIMBING BACK INTO MY VEHICLE VIA THE PASSENGER DOOR, I STARTED TO DRIVE HOME. AFTER ABOUT 3 MILES I HEARD THE SOUND OF THE DRIVERS DOOR UNLOCK AND THE DOOR ACTUALLY CRACKED OPEN ON ITS OWN. I HAD TO PULL THE DOOR SHUT WHILE DRIVING. UPON REACHING MY HOUSE THE DRIVERS DOOR OPERATED NORMALLY. NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

SERVICE BRAKES
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ABS SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE OCCASIONALLY COMING FROM BOTH FRONT WHEELS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE BRAKES INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PRODUCE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,500.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
PART NUMBER 25060-ZQ60D HAD TO BE REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE. NOTICED THAT A CANCELLED RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE HAD REPLACED A 25060-ZQ60B. SAME DESCRIPTION HAPPENED WITH MY VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING AND GAS GAUGE WAS READING A 1/4 TANK OF GAS. THE VEHICLE SHUTDOWN WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF NO GAS IN FUEL TANK. I MADE A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AND WAS TOLD SINCE THE RECALL WAS CANCELLED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO REIMBURSE ME.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE VEHICLE INFORMATION DISPLAY SCREEN (LOCATED TO THE LEFT OF THE SPEEDOMETER) WHEN SET TO ITS BRIGHTEST (HIGHEST) SETTING IS TOO DIM TO READ, WHILE SETTING UPRIGHT BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL, DURING NORMAL DAYLIGHT HOURS. VIEWING THIS SCREEN DURING NIGHTTIME DRIVING IS OKAY. NISSAN WAS CONTACTED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE VIDS WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND CAN NOT BE MADE ANY BRIGHTER, TO BE VIEWED DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AS THE INFORMATION DISPLAYED ON THE VID SCREEN MAY ALERT THE DRIVER OF POSSIBLE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONS.
