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.
