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.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I LEASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A NISSAN DEALER LAST YEAR. THEY LEASED IT TO ME AS A NEW VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT HAD ALMOST 5,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS JUST RECENTLY TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT PRIOR TO THE LEASE. THE DEALER DID NOT TELL ME THAT IT WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. SHOULD I HAVE BEEN TOLD OF THE ACCIDENT PRIOR TO SIGNING THE LEASE PAPERS? I MIGHT HAVE BACKED OUT OF THE LEASE IF I KNEW ABOUT THE ACCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
DRIVING FROM NEVADA TO LOS ANGELES CA ON HIGHWAY 395. THREE TIMES WHILE AT SPEED MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF FOR THREE TO FIVE SECONDS. I LOST POWER STEERING, REAR TIRES FELT LIKE THEY LOCKED UP. CAR WOULD THEN POWER BACK ON AND I WOULD REGAIN POWER STEERING AND CONTINUE DOWN THE ROAD. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN 40 MILES TODAY. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM WHERE THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

STEERING
ON OCT 7 2016 I WAS DRIVING UP A WINDING MOUNTAIN CANYON ROAD AT ABOUT 45 TO TO 50 MPH I WAS ON AN INSIDE TURN WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK JUST JUMPED INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE , I WAS ABLE TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL AND PULLED OFF ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING THE OTHER WAY AT THAT TIME ,OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT AS IT JUMPED 3 OR 4 FEET INTO THE ONCOMING LANE . I VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER WHAT I COULD SEE OF THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION SAW NOTHING AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE SLOWLY TO THE NEAREST TOWN BUT THE STEERING WAS REALLY SLOPPY SO HAD IT TOWED FROM THERE TO A NISSAN DEALER,FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, CASE #28569379. THEY SENT ENGINEERS FROM THE MANUFACTURING PLANT THEN I NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN.THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE PITTMAN ARM HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE CENTER LINK AND THEY FIXED IT TO MY SATISFACTION BUT I DONT BELIEVE NISSAN IS GIVING THE MATTER THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES AS MY EXPERIENCE COULD EASILY HAVE ENDED IN AN INJURY/DEATH TYPE OF ACCIDENT, HAD TRAFFIC BEEN COMING THE OTHER WAY OR HAD I BEEN ON AN OUTSIDE TURN THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A CRASH OR POSSIBLY A LONG FALL TO THE STREAM BED BELOW. ALL THE REPAIR INFO CAN BE OBTAINED FROM NISSAN OF RENO, NEVADA, AND ONCE MORE THERE IS A CONSUMER AFFAIRS CASE #28569379

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
"DEAD PEDAL" SOMETIMES THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE TRUCK IS RESPONSIVE AND TIME WHERE THERE IS A FEW SECOND DELAY IN RESPONSE. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC. THE PEDAL RESPONSE IS DIFFERENT EVERY TIME YOU PRESS IT. RPM JUMP. AT TIMES WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR AT A STOP THE RPM'S WILL JUMP UP FOR NO REASON CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LUNG FORWARD.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE WE PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND TRUCK WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL FOR SOMETIMES UP TO 5 MINS AND THAT'S WITH US TRYING TO GET THE TRUCK TO GO. WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES AND WE HAVE SMALL CHILDREN THAT RIDES IN THE TRUCK. WE SMELL FUMES IN THE CAB IN WHICH I HAVE ASTHMA AND AGAIN SMALL CHILDREN WHICH IS DANGEROUS TO SMELL. SHIFTS HARD AND NOT ALWAYS THE SAME, EITHER TAKES LONGER TO SHIFT OR SHIFTS QUICK. VERY JERKY WHEN IN TRAFFIC. THE DAY WE GOT HOME WITH THE TRUCK WE HEARD A GRINDING NOISE WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKES.IT HAPPENS RANDOM LIKE THE NO ACCELERATION. ON FREEWAY WHEN ACCELERATING AND SLOWING DOWN BACK TO ACCELERATING THERE'S A HORRIBLE LAG.OUR GAUGE DOESN'T MATCH WITH WHAT MIKES WE HAVE LEFT IN THE TANK.WHEN I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THERE'S NO WAY AND THAT I MUST BE IMAGING IT.THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE AND I DREAD PUTTING MY KIDS IN THE TRUCK.OUR LIVES AND SAFETY ARE AT RISK.SCARED DEALERSHIP WILL ACT LIKE THEY CHECKED THE PROBLEMS BUT REALLY DIDN'T.CONSITANTLY HAVING TO REFILL DEF WHICH A FRIEND SAID IT SHOULDN'T DROP THAT FAST. OUR FUEL MILEAGE HAS GOTTTEN WORSE SINCE WE HAD IT. DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T COVER OUR WINDSHIELD THAT CRACKED OUT OF NO WHERE EVEN THOUGH WE PAID FOR THAT PARTICULAR EXTRA OPTION. DEALERSHIP LIED ABOUT IT ALL INCLUDING OUR WARRANTY WHICH THEY TALKED US DOWN TO THIS TRUCK. ALSO WHEN TURNING INTO A SPOT OR ON A STREET THE TRUCK MAKES A WEIRD NOISE AND THE WHEEL ONLY TURNED UP TO 3/4 OF THE WAY. ALSO WHEN STARTING SOMETIMES IT TAKES THE TRUCK LONGER TO START UP.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED NEW 2016 NISSAN TITAN XD HAD SEVERE DOWNSHIFT PROBLEM WHERE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT SO ABRUPTLY IT WOULD FEEL LIKE YOU SLAMMED ON BRAKE PEDAL. TODAY WHILE TURNING LEFT FROM STOP LIGHT A GAS TRUCK IN FIRST LANE FAILED TO STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HIT THE ACCELERATOR TO PULL AWAY AND NO THROTTLE RESPONSE AT ALL. HAD THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER TRUCK NOT BROUGHT HIS VEHICLE TO STOP INJURY OR DEATH WOULD HAVE SURELY RESULTED. I'VE OWNED NEARLY 100 NEW CARS OF ALL MAKES MODELS TYPES ETC AND HAVE DRIVEN WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT FOR OVER 40 YEARS. I'VE NEVER FELT MORE UNSAFE IN A NEW CAR AND I'VE CONTACTED DEALER WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THIS HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE! ONCE AGAIN CAR MANUFACTURERS WOULD RATHER WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES THAN FIX THE PROBLEM!

A LOW SPEED ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG EXPLODED RATHER THAN INFLATE, LEAVING ME WITH NO PROTECTION. THE GAS AND PARTICULATE FILLED THE CABIN INSTANTLY LEAVING ME WITH NO VISION IN OR OUTSIDE THE TRUCK UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR. THE SMELL WAS SIMILAR TO BURNT GUNPOWDER. A DEBRIS SCORCHED A HOLE IN FRONT OF MY SHIRT. THE PASSENGER BAG ONLY PARTIALLY INFLATED. SPEED 30MPH. DIRECT HEAD ON COLLISION TO SIDE OF OTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE PICTURE BUT CANNOT UPLOAD RIGHT NOW. THIS AIRBAG SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS AND DEFECTIVE.
