ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I'M WRITING TO MAKE AWARE OF THE DELAY IN ACCELERATION OF MY 2016 NISSAN TITAN XD. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE EITHER TRIED TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC OR MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND HAVE HAD NO POWER DUE TO A DELAY IN THE TURBO KICKING IN. IT'S QUITE SCARY. HOPEFULLY THIS CAN BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE
UPON PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM THE DEALER, A STRONG DIESEL EXHAUST ODOR WAS NOTED WITHIN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. AFTER BRINGING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WITH THE COMPLAINT, I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE SIMPLY NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. AFTER RECEIVING THE VEHICLE BACK FROM THE DEALER, AND HAVING THE SOFTWARE UPDATE PERFORMED, THE VEHICLE STILL PRODUCED STRONG DIESEL EXHAUST ODOR WITHIN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. SINCE THAT FIRST ATTEMPT TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE, I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (4+ TIMES). NO DEALER HAS BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND GET RID OF THE DIESEL EXHAUST ODOR WITHIN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. FINALLY, I LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITHIN THEM FOR OVER 2 MONTHS NOW, BUT THEY ARE LITTLE HELP. THEY KEEP DELAYING ADDITIONAL EXPERTISE ON THE ISSUE AND HAVE DENIED MY CLAIM FOR A "BUYBACK", ASKING NOW THAT I REPLICATE THE ISSUE WITH A 3RD NISSAN DEALER. I HAVE LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THEIR ABILITY AND/OR WILLINGNESS TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND POTENTIALLY BREATHING IN UNSAFE LEVELS OF CARBON MONOXIDE (OR OTHER TOXIC GASES ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONG DIESEL EXHAUST ODOR CONTINUING TO BE RELEASED INTO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK). AT ONE POINT LAST WEEK, I HAD TO STOP DRIVING THE TRUCK ENTIRELY, AS THE HEADACHES ASSOCIATED WITH DRIVING THE VEHICLE DID NOT WARRANT CONTINUING TO USE THE VEHICLE FOR REGULAR TRANSPORTATION. THE DIESEL EXHAUST ODOR IS VERY STRONG UPON COLD START-UP AND CONTINUES TO BE EMITTED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN (ALBEIT NOT AS STRONG AS UPON START UP). REGARDLESS, THE ODOR IS PREVALENT WITHIN THE VEHICLE AND I BELIEVE THAT DRIVING THE VEHICLE INTRODUCES A SIGNIFICANT HEALTH RISK TO BOTH THE DRIVER AND ANY PASSENGERS.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I MERGING INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND LOST MOST ALL ENGINE POWER. I PULLED OVER ONTO SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND UNDER TRUCK FOR SIGNS OF WHY. I SAW A WATERFALL OF FLUID GUSHING OFF OF TRANSMISSION CASE. SMELLED DIESEL FUEL I TURNED OFF ENGINE AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. I HAD SEVERAL GALLONS OF FUEL THAT HAD POURED OUT OF INJECTOR THAT CAME LOOSE AND OVER ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO DEALERS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY INCIDENT IN TWO WAYS FOR PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON HIGHWAY. TEMPERATURE WAS 90 PLUS DEGREES AND SUNNY. VERY HOT.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE TAKING MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER SO MANY TIMES TO BE TOLD THE DEF SYSTEM GAUGE CAN NOT BE FIXED. ALL THE TRUCKS HAVE THIS ISSUE. I APPLIED FOR THE LEMON LAW AND WAS REFUSED. NOW THE LATEST WAS THE COOLANT WAS CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LOOSE POWER BECAUSE AS I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER IT'S NORMAL FOR IT TO EVAPORATE A HALF A GALLON IN 18 MONTHS. SEEMS A LITTLE STRANGE TO ME. IN THE MEANTIME I STILL HAVE TO PACK AROUND DEF BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH I HAVE. THE TRUCK HAS MANY ISSUES. ALSO THE RUNNING BOARDS WAS NEVER INSTALLED ON THE TRUCK. THE DEALER ACTUALLY CHARGED ME FOR A SET WHICH IS NOT THE OEM SET THEN REIMBURSE FOR THE CHEAPER SET.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
VDC SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON INDICATING A SYSTEM ERROR. THE RESULT IS HARD SHIFTING TO THE POINT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD AT SLOW SPEEDS. IT IS HARD ENOUGH THAT THE OCCUPANTS GET SLUNG ETHER BACK OR FORWARD AND CAN BE HARD TO CONTROL EAT SLOW SPEEDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE SHUT OFF TO RESET THE SYSTEM. ONLY HAPPENED WHILE MOVING. 2 TIMES WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE ONCE IN A PARKING LOT AND TWICE WHILE TOWING A RV.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DIESEL FUMES IN CAB, NISSAN IS AWARE OF PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT FIX DUE TO VEHICLE BEING OUT OF WARRANTY, EVEN EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER PART NEEDED TO KEEP FUMES OUT OF CABIN AREA. THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARDOUS EFFECT, COULD CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE POISON WHILE DRIVING, OR IN IDLE, CAUSES HEADACHES, NAUSEA, THIS HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING EVEN SHORT DISTANCES AND ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPING FOR LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS, EVEN ON INTERSTATES AFTER EXITING,

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE GETS STUCK AT APX 30RPM. IT WILL STOP COMPLETE ACCELERATION FOR APX A MINUTE AND THEN WILL PICK UP SPEED. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND HAS ALMOST PUT ME IN TWO ACCIDENTS GETTING HIT AT INTERSECTION AND ENTERING ON TO A RAMP, AND STALLING IN TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STREET. I HAVE REPORTED TO WEST TEXAS NISSAN AND CORPORATE. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED ONCE TO ME WITHOUT CORRECTING IT AND IT DID IT AGAIN WITH A MECHANIC TEST DRIVING WITH ME. IT IS CURRENTLY IN DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THE LAST 40 PLUS DAYS WITH THEM SAYING THEY CANT DETECT WHAT IT IS. I WOULD MENTION A NEW ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED ON THIS TRUCK WITH IN A MONTH OF NEW PURCHASE. THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY CONCERN YET NISSAN CONTINUES TO SAY THEY CANT PICK UP A CODE FOR IT. I HAVE VIDEOS OF IT HAPPENING AND A NISSAN MECHANIC THAT DROVE IT WITH ME.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, I LOST ALL POWER STEERING IN MY TITAN XD. AFTER PULLING OVER AND LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD THE SERP BELT WAS SHREDDED AND ALL TANGLED UP. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE 3 BOLTS THAT HOLD THE POWER STEERING PUMP BRACKET TO THE ENGINE HAD ALL BROKEN OFF. THERE WERE MULTIPLE OTHER REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE ON THE TITAN XD FORUM. NISSAN DID NOT WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH I FELT THIS WAS A LARGE SAFETY HAZARD LOOSING POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. THIS TRUCK IS VERY HARD TO STEER WITH NO ASSIST.
