CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. NISSAN HAS A POOR DESIGN AND I HAVE CHECKED ON LINE AND 100'S OF OTHERS HAVE COMMENTED ABOUT THE CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THESE ARE A SAFETY CONCERN AS I CAN SMELL THE EXHAUST GAS AROUND THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK, INSTEAD OF IT BEING PROPERLY TRANSFERRED OUT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AS DESIGNED. NISSAN IS NOT SUPPORTING THE REQUIRED REPLACEMENT WHICH SHOULD BE FREE. THE REPAIR COST ARE IN THE THOUSANDS NOT ACCEPTABLE WHEN IT IS NISSAN POOR DESIGN ALL ALL TRUCKS WITH THESE MANIFOLDS ARE AFFECTED.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY 235 (MD) ROAD. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES IT MADE WHAT SEEMS TO BE GRINDING NOISE. THE BRAKES WENT SOFT LUCKILY THE I WAS NEAR A SHOULDER AND AVOIDED A NEAR REAR END WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS CLOSE TO A GAS STATION. I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION WITH THE GRINDING NOISE. I WENT OUTSIDE TO SEE IF THERE WERE AN BRAKE LEAKS OR ANY BRAKE ISSUES AND NOTICED NOTHING. I TURNED ON THE TRUCK AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS GONE AND THE BRAKES WERE NORMAL. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY DEALER AND SHEEHY NISSAN STATED IT WAS THE POWER BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER. NISSAN DEALER STATED THEY HAD A NOTICE ON THIS ISSUE. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. I HAD IT FIXED - WELL $1,428.45 LATER. THE SAD PART - THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 15647 MILES AND LIGHTLY USED. SEEMS THAT THERE ARE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES ON NISSAN TITANS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. INVOICE OF THE SERVICES PERFORMED ARE UPLOADED. DID REMOVE PERSONAL INFORMATION PER INSTRUCTIONS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE.

ON NOVEMBER 22, 2016 I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY NISSAN TITAN XD TURBO DIESAL TRUCK HAD A MAJOR LOSS OF POWER AND A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON MY DASHBOARD. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE CARS WERE FLYING BY BEEPING THERE HORN AT ME. IVSAT THERE FOR 15 MINUTES WONDERING WHAT TO DO. I DECIDED TO TRY AND START THE TRUCK THE PROBLEM WAS GONE AND I CONTINUED ON MY WAY. I CALLED NISSAN SERVICE DEPT. AND SAID IF HAPPENS AGAIN BRING IT IN. ON DECEMBER 6TH THE LOSS OF POWER WARNING LIGHT REOCCURRED. I BROUGHT IT TO THE SERVICE DEPT IMMEDIATELY. THE SERVICE DEPT. REPROGRAMMED ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. THE TRUCK PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE REMEDIED. WHILE ON VACATION IN FLORIDA IN JANUARY 2017 I HAD LOSS OF POWER TWICE BUT NO WARNING LIGHT. ON MARCH 31, 2017 , I DROVE TRUCK TO DOCTOR'S APPT AND AFTER APPT DTARTED TRUCK PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND TRUCK ENGINE POWER FAILED COMPLETELY. I GOT TRUCK TO NISSAN SERVICE DEPT. AND HAS BEEN THERE SINCE. NISSAN DOES NOT KNOW WHAT PROBLEM IS AND DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO REPAIR TRUCK. I AM A 100 PERCENT DISABLED VETERAN AND AM NOT ABLE TO WALK VERY FAR. IF THIS HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE I WILL BE IN TROUBLE. I CONSIDER THIS TRUCK A LEMON AND NISSAN SHOULD MAN UP AND GIVE ME A NEW TRUCK.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
INTERMITTENTLY LOOSES POWER, TOTAL LOSS OF ACCELERATION. DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD NOT KNOWING WHEN IT'S COMING. I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH TURBO LAG, THIS IS NOT IT. USUALLY HAPPENS AROUND 1/4 THROTTLE, SQUEELING ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT, EXHAUST ODOR IN THE TRUCK, MAKES YOU NAUSEOUS, AFRAID TO LET MY KIDS RIDE IN IT! SEVERE CLUNKING IN DRIVELINE, RATTLE IN TURBOCHARGER, CHECK ENGINE FOR WASTE GATE, LEAKING WINDOW SEALS, DRIPS ON WINDOW SWITCH SURGES FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THEY SAY IT'S SHIFTING INTO FIRST, IT WILL SHOVE YOU INTO AN INTERSECTION! RADIO HAS LOUD POPPING, THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED FIXES MANY TIMES TO NO AVAIL. NISSAN RESPONSE "ITS NORMAL"

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE HAD MY 2016 NISSAN TITAN XD PLATINUM RESERVE DIESEL FOR 1 MONTH AND HAVE DRIVEN IT ABOUT 450 MILES. ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN I HAVE GOTTEN A DEAD PEDAL. WHILE ACCELERATING REASONABLY (NOT MASHING THE ACCELERATOR) FROM A STOP SIGN TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION THE TRUCK WOULD ROLL FORWARD ABOUT 6-8 FEET THEN NOTHING (NO ACCELERATION, NO RPM REV, JUST DEAD) FOR 4-6 SECONDS. THEN WITH THE PEDAL STILL ABOUT 1/2 WAY DOWN THE TRUCK WOULD RESPOND AND TAKE OFF LIKE A ROCKET. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS A DRIVER SHOULD EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THIS CAUSED ONE VERY NARROW NEAR MISS BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE AS I SAT DEAD IN THE WATER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION FOR 5 SECONDS. THE OTHER 2 OCCASIONS THERE WERE THANKFULLY NO ONCOMING VEHICLES. I NOW HAVE TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NO OTHER VEHICLE IN SIGHT TO FEEL SAFE IN CROSSING AN INTERSECTION OR PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILL, IF THAT HAS NOT ALREADY HAPPENED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE ISSUE IS.

DRIVESHAFT FAILURE, LEADING TO DIFFERENTIAL LOCK. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE DRIVESHAFT CAME LOOS AND FELL OUT OF THE TRUCK. NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME SO NO ONE WAS HURT! THE PINON YOKE THAT SLIDES ONTO THE PINON GEAR SHAFT OF THE RING AND PINON DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY USING A SPLINE SHAFT. THE PINON NUT HAS COMPLETELY UNTHREADED OFF THE PINON SHAFT,BUT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE THREADS ON THE SPLINE. AS SOON AS THE PINON NUT BEGAN TO BACK OFF IT WOULD ALL THE PINON GEAR TO MOVE AGAINST THE RING GEAR IN A FORWARD AND REARWARD MOTION AGAINST THE SHIMS. THERE IS A WIDE RANGE OF COMPLAINTS OF THE 04 TITAN FORUMS THAT HAVE INDICATED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND DRIVE SHAFT PROBLEMS AND THAT NISSAN HAS COVERED SOME OF THEM UNDER A GOOD WILL WARRANTY. IF THEY ARE KNOWING ABOUT ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND COVERING SOME OF THEM WHY ARE THEY NOT RECALLING THIS. IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND ME THEY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THIS WENT THROUGH THESE WINDOW. SD LYONS (5083369393) HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN AND A WOMAN BEEN PARALYZED FOR LIFE AS THE DRIVE SHAFT WENT THROUGH HER WINDOW AND TOOK OFF HER ROOF AND SLICE HER HEAD. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE BEFORE NISSAN WILL HAVE TO RECALL THIS!

WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ALWAYS RESPOND IMMEDIATELY. ON AT LEAST 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I HAVE BEEN STOPPED, PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED INTO AN INTERSECTION, BUT I WASN'T ABLE TO ACCELERATE FOR ABOUT 3-4 SECONDS. I WAS ESSENTIALLY SITTING IN AN INTERSECTION BLOCKING TRAFFICE WAITING ON THE TRUCK TO RESPOND.

POWER TRAIN
TITAN XD WITH CUMMINS DIESEL AND AISIN TRANSMISSION HAS 4-10 SECONDS OF UNRESPONSIVENESS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COAST FROM 10-25MPH. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC LEAVING US FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. THE PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSIVENESS FROM THE TRUCK. NO DOWNSHIFT, NO ENGINE REVVING, NO ACCELERATION. IT WAS LIKE I HAD NOT EVEN PRESSED THE PEDAL. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO NISSAN AND MY DEALERSHIP WITHOUT RESOLUTION. ALSO THEIR IS A DELAY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS FROM 40-50MPH. THIS DELAY LAST 3-6 SECONDS AND THEN THE TRUCK WILL DOWNSHIFT TO THE WRONG GEAR, NOT ACCELERATING FOR AN ADDITIONAL 3-5 SECONDS, AND THEN WILL FINALLY DOWNSHIFT AGAIN TO THE CORRECT GEAR AND BEGIN ACCELERATING FOR A TOTAL DELAY FROM ACCELERATION COMMAND TO ACTUAL ACCELERATION OCCURRING OF 6-11 SECONDS. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE (ASSUMING ON COMING TRAFFIC TRAVELING AT 55MPH) A 4-10 SECOND DELAY MEANS THAT THE DRIVER (ME) MIS-JUDGES THE SPACE AVAILABLE TO MERGER BY 322-806 FT. WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME BECAUSE I EXPECTED THE MY TRUCK TO ACCELERATE WHEN I TOLD IT TO AND NEARLY CAUSED ME TO HAVE A DRIVER SIDE COLLISION WITH HEAD ON TRAFFIC. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS (ASSUMING BOTH VEHICLES ARE DOING 55MPH) A 6-11 SECOND DELAY MEANS THE DRIVER (ME) MIS-JUDGES THE SPACE AVAILABLE TO PASS BY 968 - 1775 FT <-- THAT IS GREATER THAN 1/4 MILE OF GROUND CLOSED BETWEEN ME AND ON COMING TRAFFIC BEFORE THE TRUCK EVEN BEGINS TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS ALSO LEAD TO A NARROWLY AVOIDED HEAD ON COLLISION ON A RURAL HIGHWAY. BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS ARE EASILY REPEATABLE AND ARE NOT INTERMITTENT PHENOMENON.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE THAT I DRIVE IS A 2016 NISSAN TIITAN 4X4 XD (THE DIESEL VERSION). MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 4000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND AT SOME POINT WHILE DRIVING IT, A SMALL PEBBLE ENTERED THROUGH THE GRILL OF THE TRUCK AND CAME INTO CONTACT WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER. THE RESULT OF THIS CONTACT POKED A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER AND CAUSED THE FREON TO LEAK OUT, WHICH RESULTS IN DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT. THE MECHANIC WHO WORKED ON MY VEHICLE HAS STATED THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT AND IT IS A RESULT OF FAULTY WORKMANSHIP ON THE PART OF NISSAN IN THE GRILL THAT THEY CHOSE. THE GRILL HAS GAPS THAT ARE TOO LARGE AND ALLOWS FOR SMALL PIECES OF DEBRIS TO PASS THROUGH THEM WHICH CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY THE VEHICLE OR THE PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BECAUSE "IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT." THE MECHANIC FOR NISSAN SUGGESTED THAT I PLACE A MESH SCREEN BEHIND MY GRILL TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM AND SO THAT CONSUMERS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PAY $1,100 TO FIX THEIR AIR CONDITIONER BECAUSE OF FAULTY WORKMANSHIP ON THE PART OF THE MANUFACTURER
