ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
We were not told of a recall, however the service department said we requested a check for recall back in 08/2019 when vehicle was taken in for oil change. Our next visit was due to an engine light coming on, nothing was found & removed from dash. The vehicle then had to constantly be jumped, dealership changed battery. Vehicle still had problems starting, dealership changed starter. A month later vehicle still not starting, parking sensor light flashed real fast, dash screen kept showing “no key detected, key system error, lights flickered & radio made a loud popping sound, passenger seat kept going forward/back, up & down, making funny sound under hood, gauges going up & down, wipers going off.Upon charging battery again, moments later won’t start again. I am afraid this all has to do with the recall they had on the alternator harness wiring, but dealer keeps saying there is no recall because there is currently no open recall on the vehicle. Is there anything I can do about this? Have been in contact with dealership and Nissan Consumer. Nissan Consumer informed they are not able to purchase the vehicle back or offer another source of transportation because there is no recall. Vehicle is currently being sent to dealer again…will not start.

ENGINE
I was driving from San Antonio Texas to Tulsa Oklahoma for work when I heard a ticking sound. So I instantly pulled over and checked under the hood to see if I could determine the problem. I couldn’t determine the problem so I had the vehicle towed to the nearest Nissan dealership (Fenton Nissan - Mc Alester, Ok). The following day they called me back to tell me the engine is blown and the crank is broken. After researching the past couple days this seems to be a consistent problem with the Nissan Titan Xd 5.0 Cummins. I am extremely diligent with the maintenance of my truck.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Unknown - while driving my vehicle several warning lights started popping up all at onces the lights on the dash where glitching. Then all the power to my dash an possibly other parts of vehicle lost connection. Vehicle wouldn't even show speed or what gear I was in. While I was driving with 2 small children in the truck. I immediately pulled over. I have since taken my vehicle to a dealership where it's been for a couple weeks. They where unable to give me an exact diagnosis so my warranty won't cover repairs yet. I now have to tow my vehicle 96 miles to a different dealership in hopes of getting it fixed. My 2017 truck will not even start now!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that since AT&T disconnected the 3-G service from his vehicle, the center display that warned of vehicle safety issues such as service brakes, radiator, transmission and oil pressure malfunction was no longer operating as designed. Additionally, the contact stated that the warning light would not illuminate on the instrument panel and would only be displayed on the center display that was no longer operating as designed. The contact also stated that the SOS button that would allow him to call for assistance in the event of a crash was no longer operable. The contact stated that he was afraid that the removal of AT&T 3G service from his vehicle caused a risk to his safety. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist as AT&T was responsible of the issue. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.

I purchased my 2017 Nissan Titan SV in 2018 from a dealership in Conyers Georgia. I have taken great care of the truck and performed all regular and millage maintenance to the truck from day 1. I noticed in 2019, while driving on the roadway to merge onto interstate I85 that the vehicle had a lag in acceleration causing an RPM surge which delayed the vehicle from accelerating onto the interstate properly almost causing an accident. The truck would not properly get up to speed causing me to have to pull over to the side of the road and evaluate and re start the truck.The check engine light became displayed. The truck continued to display the same behavior with the surging of RPMs and drag during acceleration. I took the vehicle to Mall of Georgia Nissan, where they took the vehicle in and diagnosed it. I was advised by Nissan that they contacted Nissan Corporate to get advise on the issue and to seek a resolution, in which they performed some type of re flash of the transmission and several other transmission related fixes, but stated that the transmission was fine. I picked up the vehicle and it seemed to be running better than before, however a lag during acceleration was still noticeable. I noticed in January 2022 that the check engine light came on once again after the vehicle stalled while accelerating causing the truck to jerk and me once again pull over on the side of the road. I have been advised by my local mechanic after diagnosing the truck that there is a large amount of metal in the transmission fluid and that the vehicle will most likely need a new transmission. My truck has 122k miles and is in great shape, and also paid for with hopes to continue driving it well past 122k miles. This issue with the transmission which occurred within warranty was not properly diagnosed and fixed in 2019 causing a continuing safety hazard on the roadway. Nissan corporate is refusing to take responsibility of this issue and acknowledge the transmission issues.

Bought my 2017 Nissan Titan brand new, as soon as I drove it from the lot , check engine came on, took it to dealer and dealer fixed a recall, then at about 30,000mi check engine turned on again and they said it was some sensor for the transmission, at 99000mi before my warranty expires check engine turned on again and its pulling a code P0780 and a P0780 pending. My mechanic told me that Nissan just erased the code instead of fixing it due to warranty. And now they said that it may be a part inside the transmission and that they will the cost has to come out of my pocket when I still under warranty.

SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING FROM STOP, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I HAVE TO MANUALLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE WHILE THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE AFTER 20-25 MPH, THE TRUCK STOPS ACCELERATING UNTIL I MANUALLY PUT THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE. IT USUALLY TAKES ME A SECOND OR TWO TO NOTICE THAT I'M NO LONGER ACCELERATING AND TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY MANUALLY SHIFTING INTO DRIVE. MEANWHILE TRAFFIC IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING. THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAS TO SLOW DOWN. SOMETIMES THE APPROACHING TRAFFIC WILL HONK BECAUSE I'M AN UNEXPECTED OBSTACLE TO THEM. I'VE TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. IT'S DIFFICULT FOR ME TO JUDGE THE FREQUENCY, BUT I'D GUESS THIS OCCURS SEVERAL TIMES PER MONTH. THIS HAD OCCURRED SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER SEVERAL TIMES THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.
