Nissan TITAN XD problems and owner complaints

ON NOVEMBER 2, 2016, I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 NISSAN TITAN XD (DIESEL) ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES). I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE IT REMAINS TO THIS DAY (NOVEMBER 30). THE DEALERSHIP, ALONG WITH ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN, HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR OR RESTART THE VEHICLE TO DATE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE FUEL HAS BEEN TESTED AND WAS DETERMINED TO BE CLEAN DIESEL AND PROBLEM FREE. THE FUEL RAILS WERE…

TITAN XD WITH CUMMINS DIESEL AND AISIN TRANSMISSION HAS 4-10 SECONDS OF UNRESPONSIVENESS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COAST FROM 10-25MPH. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC LEAVING US FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. THE PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSIVENESS FROM THE TRUCK. NO DOWNSHIFT, NO ENGINE REVVING, NO ACCELERATION. IT WAS LIKE I HAD NOT EVEN PRESSED THE PEDAL. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO NISSAN AND MY DEALERSHIP WITHOUT …

INTERMITTENTLY LOOSES POWER, TOTAL LOSS OF ACCELERATION. DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD NOT KNOWING WHEN IT'S COMING. I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH TURBO LAG, THIS IS NOT IT. USUALLY HAPPENS AROUND 1/4 THROTTLE, SQUEELING ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT, EXHAUST ODOR IN THE TRUCK, MAKES YOU NAUSEOUS, AFRAID TO LET MY KIDS RIDE IN IT! SEVERE CLUNKING IN DRIVELINE, RATTLE IN TURBOCHARGER, CHECK ENGINE FOR WASTE GATE, LEAKING WINDOW SEALS, DRIPS ON WINDOW SWITCH SURGES FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THEY SAY IT'S SHIFTING INTO FIRST, IT WILL SHOVE YOU INTO AN INTERSE…

BAD TRANSMISSION, SLIPPING AND ERRATIC SHIFT, AT DEALERSHIP 30 DAYS STILL NO ANSWER ABOUT FIXING IT. POWER STEERING TOO HARD AND MAKES NOISE WHEN TURNING TURBO IS MAKING NOISE. THIS IS DIESEL ENGINE WITH DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID, NOT WORKING PROPERLY, DOESN'T BURN ANY DEF, IT IS REQUIREMENT ON ALL DIESEL ENGINES TO HAVE THIS EXHAUST CLEANER.

FACTORY HEADLIGHTS HAVE A BALLAST THAT CONTROLS LOW BEAMS AND DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS THAT IS RETAINING WATER AND CAUSING HEADLIGHTS TO EITHER STAY ON OR NOT WORK AT ALL. I HAVE HAD A NISSAN DEALER LOOK AT IT AND THEY DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AS WE USE THE TRUCK AT NIGHT AND DAY AND ONLY HAVE HIGH BEAMS. IT ALL STARTED AFTER WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND WASHED IT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF AND THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM STAYED ON FOR 17 HOURS. REPLACED THE BALLAST WITH A USED ONE AND IT WORKED BUT ANY TIME IT RAINED OR WASHED TH…
