2017 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

Nissan Titan xd diesel trucks have a defective warning system for engine malfunctions the engine icon displayed on the dash in the owners manual do not exist on the diesel model this can cause confusion and possible engine damage I notified Nissan case #42645370 in January of 5 separate places in the owners Manuel that had the wrong information they admitted it was wrong but have never notified owners of these diesel trucks of the defect leaving us all to be confused and stranded on the road this can cause a safety issue

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and was towed to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed that the diesel particulate filter had black sud and the sensor located near the particulate filter had melted into the particulate filter and the particulate filter, sensor, dual turbo, EGR valve and glow plug were all replaced. Reprogramming was done to the vehicle's computer as well. However, the failure recurred and the vehicle could not get out of limp mode. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and was awaiting the service record from the dealer. The failure mileage was 48,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED, WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MIKE ERDMAN NISSAN (4640 FL-520, COCOA, FL 32926) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE TURBO CHARGER NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED FOUR TIMES PRIOR TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,000.

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.

I WAS DRIVING TO LOCAL FOOD PLACE 70 MILES AWAY GOT LESS THEN 45 MILES FROM HOME. TRUCK CUT OUT SO I TRIED TO PULL OVER SAFELY TO A CALL BOX ONLY SAFE SPOT TO PULL OFF HIGHWAY. ENGINE BLOWN THEY SAY AS WELL AS BATTERY DIED. HARNESS LOOKS FRIED. SAME ISSUE AS 2020 TITAN XD RECALL. TOWED TO NISSAN SUBARU SHOP.

FUEL LIFT PUMP PREMATURE FAILURE. LOSING PRIME AND HESITATION WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. HAVE HAD IN DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS FOR THIS ISSUE. DIAGNOSIS FINALLY OCCURRED AFTER WARRANTY PERIOD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5-10 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND NOTICED THAT THE HOOD RAISED WAS RAISED, AND THERE WAS SMOKE AND FIRE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE FILLED UP WITH SMOKE. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO INJURY SUSTAINED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FRE AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE. SANDY SANSING NISSAN LOCATED 5705 PENSACOLA BLVD, PENSACOLA, FL 32505, (850) 479-4700, WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 0 AND 40 ALLOWING EXCESS RPMS BEFORE SHIFTING RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN FIRST ACCELERATING AND CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME. THE DEALER HAS REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE AND STILL INTERMITTENT AND ERRATIC SHIFTING STILL REMAINS.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE AN AUDI WAS TOTALED AND CLOBBERED MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THIS INCIDENT WAS ALREADY REPORTED DUE TO A THROTTLE ACCELERATION ISSUE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO SPEED UP. I WAS HIT PRETTY HARD AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK A LONG DISTANCE YESTERDAY AND WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED, APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS AFTER KILLING THE ENGINE TO GET FUEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH AT THE TIME. SHORTLY AFTER, A WARNING CAME UP ON MY DISPLAY STATING "ENGINE POWER DEGRADED". I WAS ON A MOUNTAIN PASS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND NOTICED THE THROTTLE WAS VERY SLOW, I COULDNT SPEED UP AND THAT WAS VERY SCARY SINCE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD TO COAST TO THE NEAREST DEALER IN AUBUN WA WHICH WAS ABOUT 25 MIN AWAY. AS SOON AS I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE TO SLOW DOWN, THE ERROR CLEARED AND I REGAINED THROTTLE AND POWER. WHEN I GOT THERE TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT THEY SAID THEY HAD NO DIESEL MECHANICS TO LOOK AT MY TRUCK UNTIL 2 WEEKS AND THAT I SHOULD LEAVE IT. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY HAD NO LOANERS, BASICALLY TELLING ME TO GET A CAB HOME. I LIVE IN TACOMA, OVER AN HOUR AWAY FROM AUBURN. MY TRUCK HAD MY DOG AND ALL MY BELONGINGS INSIDE SINCE I JUST CAME HOME FROM A ROAD TRIP, CABS WERE REALLY NOT AN OPTION. I BEGGED THEM TO PLEASE JUST HOOK UP DIAGNOSTICS AND TELL ME IF I CAN MAKE IT HOME. THEY SAID IT ONLY SHOWED "LOW VOLTAGE". THEY CRANKED MY TRUCK AND I DROVE HOME. CURRENTLY IT IS STUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WILL NOT START. IT WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED TO NISSAN IN TACOMA WHENEVER THEY CAN ACTUALLY FIND A DIESEL MECHANIC. IMPORTANT TO NOTE THIS OCCURRED AFTER THE CAR WRECK I WAS IN THAT WAS LIKELY RELATED TO THROTTLE NOT KICKING IN. EITHER WAY, I HAVE NO VEHICLE AND NISSAN SEEMS TO THINK THIS IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. IT HAS BECOME A SAFETY NIGHTMARE AND I AM AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE THIS TRUCK EVEN IF IT WAS WORKING.
