2017 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

PRO COMP LIFT KIT WAS INSTALLED BY DEALERSHIP. IN JANUARY 29, 2018 WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 20 MPH ON A FLAT, PAVED, RESIDENTIAL CITY STREET, A "NUT/BOLT" CAME OFF, CAUSING THE SUSPENSION TO COLLAPSE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BECOME INCAPACITATED, WHEN LEFT REAR TIRE WAS PUSHED INTO REAR WHEEL WELL. THERE ARE ALSO ISSUES WITH FRONT LEFT TIRE RUBBING AGAINST WHEEL WELL AND "SLIPPING" WHEN TURNING TO PARK.

ON FEB 16 2018 I WAS DRIVING MY 2017 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK WITH 5000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER ALONG A RURAL TWO LANE ROAD IN MISSOURI WITH THREE OTHER PASSENGERS RIDING WITH ME. WE HEARD A NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND SUDDENLY THE POWER STEERING OF THE VEHICLE CEASED TO OPERATE AND THE TRUCK DRIFTED ACROSS THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINES OF THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY NO CARS WERE COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND I STEERED HARD TO THE RIGHT AND SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN RAPIDLY. I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE TO A GRAVEL PARKING LOT OF A CHURCH AND WE EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND COULD SEE THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS NO LONGER IN PLACE. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP 55 MILES AWAY AND WE AWAITED THEIR REPORT. SEVERAL DAYS LATER I WAS INFORMED THAT THE BELT TENSIONER BRACKET HAD BROKEN IN HALF AND NISSAN WAS GOING TO ORDER PARTS AS THEY WERE NOT IN STOCK AT THE DEALER. REMEMBER THIS IS A NEW 2017 TRUCK WITH ONLY 5000 MILES ON IT. THE SERPENTINE BELT RUNS ALL ASPECTS OF THE VEHICLE AND WITHOUT IT ENGAGED THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNDRIVEABLE. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK WITH NO MODIFICATIONS OF ANY KIND. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME THAT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE U.S. WITH THIS MALFUNCTION TO DATE. THIS PROBLEM COULD POTENTIALLY KILL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING, THE ODOR OF DIESEL FUMES WAS PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN OF LAS CRUCES (1801 S MAIN ST, LAS CRUCES, NM) WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE ODOR RETURNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 600. *TT *TR

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION MULTIPLE TIMES IN MY POSSESSION. A LAUNCH FORWARD INTO ANOTHER INDIVIDUALS VEHICLE. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND TIME WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT AND FINALLY THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. YET WITH A SIMPLE UPDATE NNA CORP DECIDES THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO COME BACK INTO MY HANDS BUT THE DEALER DOES NOT FEEL THE SAME IN THIS SITUATION. I'VE BEEN WITH OUT MY VEHICLE FOR OVER 3 MONTHS NOW. AND I DON'T FEEL IT'S SAFE. *BF *TR

WHEN THE DIESEL ENGINE GOES INTO DPF REGENERATION MODE, THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE FILLS WITH UNPLEASANT FUMES THAT SMELL LIKE EVAPORATED DIESEL FUEL OR OTHER NOXIOUS SUBSTANCE THAT IS IRRITATING TO MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND MAY CAUSE HEALTH ISSUES. THE PROBLEM IS WORSE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT LOW SPEED OR IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC WHEN EXHAUST FUMES ARE ABLE TO COLLECT AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE MOST RECENT INSTANCE OCCURRED IN A DRIVE-THRU LINE AT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, AND WAS SO PUNGENT THAT I WAS FORCED TO ABANDON THE LINE, PARK THE VEHICLE, AND EVACUATE MYSELF TO FRESH AIR.

THE VEHICLE INFORMATION DISPLAY SCREEN (LOCATED TO THE LEFT OF THE SPEEDOMETER) WHEN SET TO ITS BRIGHTEST (HIGHEST) SETTING IS TOO DIM TO READ, WHILE SETTING UPRIGHT BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL, DURING NORMAL DAYLIGHT HOURS. VIEWING THIS SCREEN DURING NIGHTTIME DRIVING IS OKAY. NISSAN WAS CONTACTED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE VIDS WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND CAN NOT BE MADE ANY BRIGHTER, TO BE VIEWED DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AS THE INFORMATION DISPLAYED ON THE VID SCREEN MAY ALERT THE DRIVER OF POSSIBLE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONS.

THE TRUCK I HAVE PURCHASED ON NOV 24TH, 2017 HAS THE CUMMINGS DIESEL ENGINE. THE TRUCK IS KNOWN NOT TO START IN WEATHER BELOW 12 DEGREES F. NISSAN TECHS TELL ME NOW (AFTER THE SALE) THAT THIS ENGINE NEEDS AN ANTI FUEL GELL ADDIDATIVE IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO START IN COLD WEATHER. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN ROBBED OF THE $50,645 I SPENT ON A NEW VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT AT ALL AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER TO ME. I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET K3500 WITH A CHEVROLET DURAMAX DIESEL THAT IN 12 3/4 YEARS HAS NOT HAD ONE DROP OF ANTI GEL FLUID PLACED IN IT, & HAS NEVER FAILED TO START NOT ONE SINGLE TIME WITH 235,000 MILES ON IT!!! I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE, & DEMAND SOME SORT OF ACTION BE TAKEN. I BOUGHT A VEHICLE IN THE GOOD FAITH IT WAS GOING TO LAST. INSTEAD I HAVE BOUGHT SOMETHING I HATE NOW; NEVER KNOWING WEATHER OR NOT IT WILL START. VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO START ON MULTIPLE DAYS. ABOUT 6 DAYS TOTAL SO FAR SINCE CHRISTMAS OF 2017. FILLED A CASE #: 29386597... NISSAN CLOSED IT AFTER SAYING THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO! ALSO FILLING A COMPLAINT WITH THE INDIANA STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, & BBB!

I PURCHASED A NEW 2017 NISSAN TITAN XD FROM TIM DAHLE NISSAN - SOUTHTOWNE ON 11/25/17. PRIOR TO PICK UP I REQUESTED THE DEALER COMPLETE AN OPEN SAFETY RECALL REGARDING THE REAR SEAT BELTS. THE RECALL IS 17V-268. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN COMPETED PRIOR TO DELIVERY TO ME. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER I WAS INFORMED BY NISSAN CORPORATE THAT THE ABOVE NOTED RECALL HAD NOT BEEN COMPLETED AS I HAD BEEN TOLD. IT IS ILLEGAL FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO SELL A NEW VEHICLE WITH AN OPEN SAFETY RECALL. THIS IS A CLEAR VIOLATION OF EXISTING FEDERAL LAW. THE DEALER HAS BEEN MADE AWARE AND MADE ZERO ATTEMPT TO RECTIFY THE MATTER OR OFFER TO COMPLETE THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V268000 (SEAT BELTS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (CLAY COOLEY NISSAN, 39690 LYNDON B JOHNSON FWY, DALLAS, TX 75237) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 800-424-9153 ON OCTOBER 25, 2017 AND WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE NEXT WEEK. THE CONTACT WAITED OVER A MONTH AND CALLED THE MANUFACTURER BACK AT THE SAME NUMBER, BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. CASE NUMBER: 28651546 WAS PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CAN POP OUT OF GEAR. SAW IT HAPPEN FIRST WITH GOING FROM DRIVE AND SWITCHING TO NEUTRAL. RECENTLY EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES IT GOING FROM PARK TO REVERSE. HAPPENS WHILE SHIFTING THE SHIFTER. AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE THE ALARM LETS YOU KNOW CAR IS IN GEAR. IF YOUR LUCKY THE TRUCK DOES NOT ROLL YOU OVER WITH THE OPEN DOOR. HAS BACKED INTO A BUILDING AND BUSTED OUT THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHTS AND CRUSHED SIDE OF THE BED.
