THIS IS ESPECIALLY PROBLEMATIC WHEN CAR IS FOGGIN UP ON THE INSIDE AND THE DEFROST WON'T BLOW ANY HOT AIR. CABIN OF TRUCK IS ESPECIALLY COLD NOW AS IT WON'T BLOW ANY HOT AIR. THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TYING TO TURN THE AC/HEATER CONTROL KNOB, LIKE THE BLOWER DOOR IS STUCK OR THE MOTOR CAN'T TURN THE DOOR TO LET THE HOT AIR IN.

2010 NISSAN TITAN PRO-4X UNCONTROLLABLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT, RESULTING IN A COLLISION. I WAS DRIVING DOWN AN AISLE IN A PARKING LOT AND BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AND TURN LEFT INTO A PARKING STALL. JUST AS MY VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO COME TO A STOP AND PARK, THE ENGINE REVVED (IT FELT/SOUNDED LIKE FULL THROTTLE), THE TIRES SQUEALED AND LAUNCHED THE VEHICLE FORWARD RESULTING IN A COLLISION WITH A VEHICLE PARKED IN THE OPPOSITE STALL. BECAUSE MY FOOT WAS ALREADY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL I MANAGED TO QUICKLY DEPRESS IT ALL THE WAY AND AT LEAST REDUCE THE SEVERITY OF THE IMPACT. TO DATE, THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY OCCURRENCE OF A PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL/ACCELERATOR.

THE HEATER FAILED TO WORK. ON COLD FROSTY MORNINGS, I COULD NOT USE MY FRONT WINDOW DEFROSTER BECAUSE IT FAILED TO BLOW HOT AIR. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE A DRIVER CANNOT SEE OUT A FROSTED WINDOW. THE WATER VALVE THAT CONTROLS MOVEMENT OF HOT ENGINE COOLANT INTO THE HEATER CORE NEEDED REPLACED TO WORK PROPERLY. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN ADMITTED THAT HE HAS A TO REPLACE MANY OF THESE ELECTRONIC WATER VALVES. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM WITH ELECTRONIC WATER VALVES FAILING....UPDATED 12/03/15 *BF UPDATED 05/21/18*JB

CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM DASH WHEN SWITCHING FROM DEFROST TO VENT, THEN AGAIN AFTER VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF (LAST 10-20 SECONDS WORTH OF "TICKING" NOISE ), HAS DONE THIS SINCE I HAD PURCHASED IT. NOW THERE IS NO HEAT WHEN HEATER IS TURNED ON, BLOWS COLD AIR. IN READING FORUMS, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I SAW THE VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN, BUT IN TALKING WITH MY NISSAN DEALER, THEY SAY THIS ONLY GOES UNTIL 72K. KIND OF CONVENIENT WHEN IM AT 73K.
