2017 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR WILL LOCK. YOU CAN NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE KEY, PUSHING ANY BUTTONS, USING THE FOB, NOR CAN YOU UNLOCK IT FROM THE INSIDE. YOU MUST USE THE MASTER BUTTON ON THE DRIVERS DOOR AND IN DOING SO YOU MUST LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS DOZENS OF TIMES AND ONLY THEN IT MAY WORK THE REAR DOOR. YOU DO NOT NEED TO LOCK THE DOOR FOR THIS TO OCCUR. THE DOOR WILL LOCK ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE CAN BE UNLOCKED, SITTING FOR A DAY, AND I CAN GO OUT TO USE THE VEHICLE AND THE REAR DOOR WILL BE LOCKED. YOU CAN BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE REAR DOOR WILL SIMPLY LOCK ITSELF. IF YOU LOCK THE VEHICLE (AND IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE HOW YOU DO IT) THE REAR DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH THE OTHER DOORS. MY CONCERN IS THAT WITH A REAR PASSENGER (USUALLY A CHILD) AND WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ENTERING OR EXITING THE VEHICLE FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR WOULD BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE LOCKING DOOR. A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF FIRE WERE INVOLVED.

AFTER RAIN STORMS I NOTICED WATER ON THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT AFTER DELIVERY OF VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP THEY DETERMINED THE REAR WINDOW SEAL TO BE FAULTY AND THEY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR WARRANTY REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT AT AND REPAIRED AT BENTON NISSAN OF OXFORD, ALABAMA.

RIGHT SIDE AIR BAG HAS GONE BAD TWO SEPARATE TIMES. ADVISED THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

I CAN'T READ THE VEHICLE INFORMATION SCREEN WHILE DRIVING IN DAYLIGHT BRIGHTER THAN HEAVY OVERCAST. THIS IS WITHOUT SUNGLASSES. ADDING SUNGLASSES MAKES IT WORSE. I MUST LEAN FORWARD AND SHIELD THE SCREEN, AND THEN SQUINT TO READ THE DATA DISPLAYED. I KNOW ONE SHOULD PULL OFF THE ROAD WHEN A WARNING CHIME AND MESSAGE APPEAR, BUT YOU KNOW HOW HUMAN NATURE IS. NISSAN SAYS IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. IT IS FOR ME.

MY TITAN CAME WITH 20" CHROME WHEELS BUT WHEN I PURCHASED THE TRUCK I ADDED A NISSAN APPROVED LIFT KIT AND TIRES/WHEELS. THE DEALER DID NOT RETURN ANY OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT YESTERDAY I HAD WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A BLOW OUT THE TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE SIDE WALL LUCKILY I COULD GET OFF THE INTERSTATE WELL SINCE I ADDED THE LIFT AND TIRES AND DID NOT GET THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT BACK THE LUGS DO NOT FIT THE SPARE TIRE SO MY TRUCK HAD TO BE LIMPED IN THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT DO NOT GIVE BACK THE ORIGINAL LUGS AND ARE NOT CONCERNED THAT THIS SPARE TIRE COULD EASILY COME OFF GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I WAS GOING DOWN INTERSTATE 20/59 WHEN THIS HAPPENED

THIS IS THE SECOND TITAN XD WITH THE SAME ISSUE "DEAD PEDAL" OR NO ACCELERATION WHEN PEDAL IS PRESSED THIS IS WHEN THE TRUCK IS BEING DRIVEN AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. NISSAN HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX WITH NO KNOW REPAIRS AT THIS TIME.

LOUD RATTLE/GRIND/CHATTER FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA THAT IS CLEARLY HEARD FROM INSIDE THE CABIN DURING UP AND DOWN SHIFTS AT RANDOM TIMES. MOST COMMONLY OCCURS WHEN THE ENGINE IS BEING USED AT HIGH RPM UP TO 40 MPH THEN THE ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED ALLOWING THE 4-5 AND 5-6 SHIFT TO OCCUR AT LIGHT LOAD. THE GRIND IS MOST NOTICEABLE ON THE 4-5 UP-SHIFT. THIS HAPPENS IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS, TOWING, OR UNLOADED. SOME FACTS: RATTLES IN ALMOST ANY GEAR. HEARD FROM THE FRONT OF THE TRANNY AREA. HAPPENS WHEN GOING FROM A HIGH RPM SITUATION TO A LOW RPM SITUATION. DOES IT IN BOTH REGULAR AND TOW MODES. SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS HOT. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING (NOT REVVING IN NEUTRAL). HAPPENS BOTH WHEN I DRIVE OR MY SPOUSE DRIVES. SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE THROTTLE IS PARTIAL OR LESS THAN HALF WAY. SOME SHIFTS ARE VERY HARD AND SOME SHIFTS ARE VERY SOFT. THE NOISE COMES AND GOES AND CAN BE VERY LOUD OR VERY QUIET. IT COINCIDES EXACTLY WHEN THE SHIFT OCCURS. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SLIPPING. THE NOISE IS ABNORMAL AS I DROVE OTHER IDENTICAL VEHICLES ON THE DEALER LOT AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ATTACHED IS THE ENTIRE SAGA WITH NISSAN AND AT PRESENT NISSAN HAS DECIDED TO DO NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW 500 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ODOR OF ANTI-FREEZE IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS: BENTON NISSAN OF HOOVER (1640 MONTGOMERY HWY, HOOVER, AL 35216, (205) 938-6103) AND JACK INGRAM NISSAN (227 EASTERN BLVD, MONTGOMERY, AL 36117, (334) 270-6000) WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THERE WAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE OR A LEAK THAT COULD PROGRESS DUE TO THE STRONG ODOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 500.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I WAS DRIVING WITH SLIGHTLY LESS THAN 1/4 TANK OF GAS AND STOPPED TO PARK ON A HILL WITH VEHICLE ON IDLE. WHILE IN IDLE ON THE HILL THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT. I TRIED TO RESTART BUT THE ENGINE JUST CRANKED WITH NO START AND A LOW PRESSURE FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED TO PUSH IT DOWN THE HILL ON FLAT GROUND AND TRIED TO START AGAIN WITH JUST CRANKING NO START. I THEN HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE WITH THE HELP OF MY NEIGHBORS INTO A GUEST STALL AND CALL FOR A TOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TONY NISSAN TO BE LOOKED AT WHERE THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES AND HE REVIEWED ALL THE FUEL SYSTEM AND NO ISSUES WERE FOUND. HE INFORMED ME HE LET THE VEHICLE CRANK OVER UNTIL THE PUMP WAS ABLE TO PICK UP FUEL AND PURGE THE LINE OF AIR AND THE CAR STARTED. THE SERVICE ADVISOR INFORMED ME OF THE FUEL TANK BEING LONGITUDINALLY PLACED IN THE TRUCK WITH FUEL PUMP IN THE CENTER WHICH STOPPED TO IDLE ON A HILL MAY HAVE CAUSED THE PUMP TO GO DRY AND PUMP AIR. I INFORMED HIM THAT THIS COULD BE AN ISSUE IF I WAS DRIVING UP OR DOWN A HILL WITH MY FAMILY AND THEN STOP AND IDLE WHEREBY THE TRUCK STALLS OUT ON A HILL OF SUCH MAGNITUDE LIKE IN SAN FRANCISCO OR WILHEMINA RISE IN HONOLULU, HI. HOPEFULLY THIS IS REVIEWED BY THE ENGINEERS AT NISSAN MOTOR WHICH THIS EMAIL IS ALSO BEING FORWARDED TO NHTSA. INVOICE NUMBER, I BELIEVE, FROM TONY NISSAN IS 653922. *TR

I NOTICED AN ARCHING SOUND COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. UPON INSPECTION I NOTICED A BRIGHT WHITE ARC EVERY 30-32 SECONDS COMING FROM THE FUEL LINE TO THE TOP OF THE FRAME RAIL. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, NISSAN CAME BACK AND SAID THAT THIS WAS A "NORMAL CONDITION DUE TO A STATIC BUILD UP IN THE FUEL SYSTEM, NO REPAIR NECESSARY". IF THIS IS NORMAL WHY DIDN'T MY TRUCK DO IT WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT? ALSO, IF IT IS NORMAL WHY DON'T THEY ALL DO IT? IT WILL DO THIS DURING ALL MODES OF OPERATION AND WILL EVEN CONTINUE AFTER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN SHUT OFF IF THE IGNITION IS TURNED BACK ON.
