2018 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

2018 NISSAN TITAN PRO-4X WITH 7118 MILES. TRUCK HAS BEGUN TO REV HIGH DURING ACCELERATION, SLOWING ACCELERATION & SHIFTING. THE TRUCK ALSO RANDOMLY DOWN SHIFTS DURING HIGHWAY USE. THIS TAKES PLACE DURING NORMAL OR EXTREME ACCELERATION ON BOTH HIGHWAY & STREET USE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE LACK OF ACCELERATION THAT MAY BE NEEDED IN ORDER TO SAFELY MERGE INTO TRAFFIC.

ON NO LESS THAN 30 OCCASIONS, THIS TRUCK, UPON ENTERING AN INTERSECTION OR ENTERING A PASSING LANE WENT "PEDAL DEAD" MEANING THE ACCELERATOR FAILED TO OPERATE LEAVING ME, MY FAMILY AND THE PEOPLE IN THE ONCOMING VEHICLES IN DIRECT DANGER OF COLLISION.. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAY THEY FIND NOTHING. I HAVE FOUND 20 PLUS COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING FROM OTHER CONSUMERS. THIS TIME MY TRUCK IS NOW ON DAY 20 AT THE DEALER. WITH THIS TRUCK DYEING UPON ENTERING INTERSECTIONS AND PASSING LANES, SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. I BOTH THIS NEW, MY FIRST COMPLAINT WAS IN JANUARY OF 2109 AT 242 MILES, NOW 11 MONTHS LATER IT ONLY HAS 3300 MILES ON IT BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY GOING TO CREATE AN ACCIDENT SITUATION. THE FAULTS OCCUR WHEN TURNING ONTO A RAMP, PULLING INTO AN INTERSECTION, OR MANEUVERING INTO THE PASSING LANE. I HAVE SIGNED LETTERS FROM TWO PASSENGERS IN HAND WHO HAVE NOT ONLY EXPERIENCED IT FIRST HAND, THEY WILL NO LONGER RIDE IN THE TRUCK AS WELL AS OVER 20 CONSUMER COMPLAINTS FROM COMPLAINT.COM FOR THE SAME MATTER

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK IT HAS A HIGH PITCH WHISTLE AND BLOWS GAS BACK OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND ON THE GROUND CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. NISSAN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE AND HAS ISSUED A TSB BUT I FEEL IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BURNT OR KILLED THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

AS I WAS PUMPING GAS THE FUEL TANK BEGAN TO MAKE A HOWLING SOUND AND BEGUN TO SPIT THE GAS BACK OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES, AND HAS BECOME WORRISOME.

WHILE THE TRUCK IS FUELING AND STATIONARY THE FILLER NECK EMITS A HIGH-PITCHED WHINE NOISE. THE NOISE VARIES IN PITCH WITH RELATION TO HOW FULL THE TANK BECOMES. THE MENTIONED COMPLAINT HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE FIRST FILL UP WHEN I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT. ADDITIONALLY, I'VE MADE ATTEMPTS OF INFORMING TWO SEPARATE DEALERS OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND PROVIDED VIDEO OF THE COMPLAINT. ONE ASKED FOR A COPY OF VIDEO, AND THE OTHER SAID THE ENGINEERS ARE AWARE AND WILL RESPOND SHORTLY. THAT WAS SEVERAL MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS COMPLAINT AND STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ATTEMPTED TO JUMPSTART THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HENDERSON NISSAN (295 AUTO MALL DR, HENDERSON, NV 89014) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT ALL THE ELECTRICAL HARNESSES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO RODENT DAMAGE. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FROM JUNE 2, 2019 UNTIL AUGUST 6, 2019. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WERE MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V495000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,916.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS NISSAN TITAN AND WAS NOT IN FORMED OF THIS { TAKATA RECALL}...AND WHAT IS PERMAPLATE SOUNDGARD ITS UNDER THE DEALERS APPEARANCE PLAN . ITOLD THEM I DID NOT WANT THINGS THAT THE MANUFACTURE HAS ALREADY PUT ON THE TRUCK SUCH AS PAINT PROTECTION SEAT PROTECTION CHEMICALES.. I ONLY DROVE IT FROM THE DEALER TO HOME SO NOTHING HAS HAPPENED THAT I CAN SAY FOR SURE EXCEPT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING DOORS SEEMED DIFFERENT AND CRUSE SEEMED TO WORK AND NEXT TIME I FOUND IT TOOK A WHILE FOR ME TO GET IT TO WORK

ON DATE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED, BEFORE WE DROVE TRUCK OFF LOT, CENTER CONSOLE HAD UPDATE ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED (SEE IMAGES). NOTHING ON CENTER CONSOLE WOULD WORK, BUT VEHICLE WOULD RUN FINE. BLIND SPOT DETECTION WOULD NOT WORK. SYSTEM WOULD TRY TO REBOOT ITSELF FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE SYSTEM WOULD COME BACK ONLINE AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE NORMAL, INCLUDING BLIND SPOT DETECTION. NEXT DAY, I TOOK TRUCK TO WORK AND CONSOLE WENT OUT AGAIN AS I WAS DRIVING. BLIND SPOT DETECTION NO LONGER WORKED AGAIN. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP. THEY CONFIRMED IT HAD THE LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATE AND DETERMINED HEAD UNIT WAS BAD AND ARE REPLACING IT NOW.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN JULY 2018. WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER SHIP TO BE DIAGNOSED. I WAS TOLD "THEY WERE AWARE OF ISSUES WITH SOME OF THESE ENGINES AND 2 OTHER VECHICLES HAVE ALREADY REQUIRED THE MOTORS BE REPLACED BY THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I DECIDED TO GET A SECOND OPINION SO I WENT TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER. THIS DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT THEY HAVE A FACTORY NOTICE STATING THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THIS MOTOR. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLLING ME THEY CAN NOT PERFORM THE FACTORY REQUIRED TEST FOR THREE WEEKS AND IF IT IS DETERMINED IT IS A DEFECTIVE ENGINE IT WILL BE ANOTHER 3 TO 4 WEEKS UNTIL THE ENGINE CAN BE REPLACED. IN THE MEAN TIME I AM STILL DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IN THE EVENT THAT THIS ENGINE FAILS AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF STEERING AND LOSS OF BRAKES. CURRENTLY THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY RECALLS OR NOTICES SENT OUT TO THE CONSUMER AND FROM WHAT I AM TOLD IT IS UNKNOWN HOW MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ARE DEFECTIVE AND CURRENTLY ON THE ROAD.

WHEN FLOORING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL (AS TO PULL OUT ON ENTRANCE RAMP) IT HAS DIESEL LAG RESPONSE (JUST TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO ACCELERATE) AND ALSO TRANSMISSION HAS SHIFTING ISSUES DURING THIS TIME. SOMETIMES INTERMITTENT I HAD A NEAR MISS EXPERIENCE WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM THE ENTRANCE RAMP..
