Summary

Attempted to shift vehicle into four wheel drive high mode. 4WD error message appeared in center display, as well as traction control and ABS warning indicators. 4WD was inoperative. Attempted to shift into four wheel drive high multiple times, with no success. Not sure if the traction control and ABS warning indicators are actually indicating that these systems are inoperative or not. These warnings stay on after switching back to 2WD mode, and are only extinguished after the engine is shut off and restarted. I believe the lack of 4WD can be considered a safety issue depending on the weather conditions and where the vehicle is located when this failure occurs. Dealer confirmed issue, and is replacing the transfer case, under warranty. I did a bit of research on an internet forum covering this vehicle, and found that others have had this same issue, and it has been identified as a broken shift fork in the transfer case.

Summary

At highway speed of 65 MPH, passenger-rear tire started to make slight thumping sound. After a few minutes, it became much louder. I pulled off the road to investigate and found that treads were completely delaminating from tire. Tire was inflated to 74 psi and they have always been properly maintained. Only 24,000 miles on tire (vehicle purchased new in Feb, 2019). No injuries but had I not pulled over right away, there is no doubt that a blowout would have occurred with potentially devastating consequences. The vehicle is a 2018 Nissan Titan XD, Platinum Reserve, purchased at Baxter, Nissan of Bellevue, Nebraska.

Summary

My Nissan has 35 thousand miles on it it use it as a pleasure vehicle. I was driving the other day and it started shifting really high motor racing loud and not really going anywhere. It was like the transmission was slipping. It had never done this before. I thought it was a isolated incident but the next few days going to get gas and groceries (17 miles one way) it did it again this time starting in low gear the tachometer raced up to 5 -6 thousand rpm before it shifted and when it hit 2gear it did it again and 3rd gear all the time acting like the transmission was slipping. I read on some sites that this model has this problem and nobody seems to want to take accountability for this problem. I paid 33thousand dollars for this truck and it isn’t even broken in but it is broken! So help me what should I do I ask you first so you can give me guidance! Thanks Dennis Nash

Summary

1.The Engine Sub-Harness Assembly failed; melted, I feel due to the engine heat, because this harness insulation is not heat rated and melted off the wire. 2.The dashboard engine light came on and would not go off. 3.The Robbins Nissan Dealership I took my truck to in Humble, Tx. 77338 lied and said this failure was caused by rodent damage; which I know for a fact that my garage is very clean and I've never even seen any signs of rodents. 4.I first noticed a problem approximately in June of 2021 when the dashboard engine light came on and never went off. 5.By this dealership blaming it on rodent damage, this defective harness was not covered by the Nissan North America, Inc. Warranty, so I was charged $1,522.14 for this repair.

Summary

while I'm driving my truck, it has a Cummins Diesel engine, at certain times I guess that the engine goes through a regen process, when it odes this process then the cab is filled with noxious gases. This process last a few minutes and causes you to lower the windows to get rid of the toxic gases. I reported it to my Nissan Dealer twice when I took it in for it's service, they acted like they had never heard about it before and told me that there was no issue with my truck. that I had to drive it more to get it to stop ding it. Is this normal or are we being poisoned or getting cancer from these events?

Summary

I PARKED THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLIN BACKWARDS. SECOND DAY PARKED IT AGAIN AT NIGHT AND WHEN I WOKE UP THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED DOWN AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ACCORDING TO THEM NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I WENT ON MY OWN AND DID THREE PARKING TESTS AND EVERY TIME IT ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. I FILMED THE INCIDENT AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. AT THAT TIME THEY KEPT THE TRUCK FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. THEY HAD A SPECIALIST FROM CORPORATE NISSAN COME IN AND HIS FINDINGS WERE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FINE AND THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THAT DOESN'T SOLVE THE ISSUE OF THE VEHICLE ROLLING BACKWARDS WHILE PARKED.I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 1/2 YEARS AND NO ISSUES UNTIL NOW. SNOW IS NOT A NEW SITUATION BECAUSE I LIVE IN UPSTATE NY. IT JUST STARTED ON 1/1/21 AND IT HASN'T STOPPED ROLLING BACKWARDS. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NISSAN IS NOT ADDRESSING. I DO HAVE THE VIDEOS BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO UPLOAD.

Summary

1. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE BRAKED HARD ON THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID A CAR THAT FAILED TO YIELD WHILE MERGING. THE OTHER VEHICLE THEN BRAKED HARD AND I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO GET IN FRONT BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE DID NOT SHUT OFF, BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT REV THE RPM'S OR HAVE ANY RESPONSE TO THE GAS PEDAL FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS. LUCKILY A COLLISION DID NOT OCCUR. 2. WHILE TAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A STEEP INCLINE DRIVE FROM A HIGHWAY THE TRUCK ONCE AGAIN WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE TRUCK WAS JUST SITTING ON THE INCLINE FOR ABOUT THREE SECONDS BEFORE IT RESPONDED TO THE GAS PEDAL AND CLIMBED THE HILL. THERE WAS A VEHICLE FOLLOWING BEHIND INTO THE DRIVE AND HAD TO STOP TO AVOID COLLIDING INTO MY REAR END AS THE TRUCK WOULD NOT GO FOR A FEW SECONDS. I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW TO DESCRIBE THESE TWO INCIDENTS OTHER THAN IT IS A "DEAD PEDAL" FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHEN PROPULSION IS TRULY NEEDED

I BROUGHT TRUCK BACK INTO THE DON DAVIS NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON 7/17/18 BUT THE DEALERSHIP JUST SHRUGGED IT OFF SAYING IT MIGHT BE A FLAT SPOT IN THE TIRE AND DID NOTHING.
