The vehicle is available for inspection immediately by all parties. While driving down the highway, the truck started a vibration, without any warning indicators. The vehicle was taken to the next travel center truck shop. The writer acknowledged the vibration like a misfire, but no codes were present. He recommended another shop or dealer. A detour was made to the nearest Nissan dealership. On the way, the truck stumbled with a violent vibration and shut down on the road without warning lights. There was a complete loss of power from the engine on the highway, giving way to the risk of being hit by other motorists and blocking traffic. Since the engine shut down, there was also a loss of power steering, giving high risk to the possibility of an accident. The truck was unable to restart. The vehicle shut down in the middle of the desert, exposing my family to unsafe environmental conditions. The truck was towed the remaining way to the dealer. The next business day, the technician got the truck started and verified the concern. The tech requested additional time for teardown which was approved to remove the oil pan for inspection. I was quoted over $37,000 to repair “catastrophic engine failure.” There were metal shavings found in the oil pan “the size of a computer mouse” from somewhere on the crankshaft. The dealer found that the check engine light came on during service but did not provide the codes. Nissan refuses to assist with repair due to warranty time and secondhand ownership. Nissan was offered to inspect the vehicle but has declined.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK A LONG DISTANCE YESTERDAY AND WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED, APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS AFTER KILLING THE ENGINE TO GET FUEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH AT THE TIME. SHORTLY AFTER, A WARNING CAME UP ON MY DISPLAY STATING "ENGINE POWER DEGRADED". I WAS ON A MOUNTAIN PASS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND NOTICED THE THROTTLE WAS VERY SLOW, I COULDNT SPEED UP AND THAT WAS VERY SCARY SINCE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD TO COAST TO THE NEAREST DEALER IN AUBUN WA WHICH WAS ABOUT 25 MIN AWAY. AS SOON AS I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE TO SLOW DOWN, THE ERROR CLEARED AND I REGAINED THROTTLE AND POWER. WHEN I GOT THERE TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT THEY SAID THEY HAD NO DIESEL MECHANICS TO LOOK AT MY TRUCK UNTIL 2 WEEKS AND THAT I SHOULD LEAVE IT. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY HAD NO LOANERS, BASICALLY TELLING ME TO GET A CAB HOME. I LIVE IN TACOMA, OVER AN HOUR AWAY FROM AUBURN. MY TRUCK HAD MY DOG AND ALL MY BELONGINGS INSIDE SINCE I JUST CAME HOME FROM A ROAD TRIP, CABS WERE REALLY NOT AN OPTION. I BEGGED THEM TO PLEASE JUST HOOK UP DIAGNOSTICS AND TELL ME IF I CAN MAKE IT HOME. THEY SAID IT ONLY SHOWED "LOW VOLTAGE". THEY CRANKED MY TRUCK AND I DROVE HOME. CURRENTLY IT IS STUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WILL NOT START. IT WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED TO NISSAN IN TACOMA WHENEVER THEY CAN ACTUALLY FIND A DIESEL MECHANIC. IMPORTANT TO NOTE THIS OCCURRED AFTER THE CAR WRECK I WAS IN THAT WAS LIKELY RELATED TO THROTTLE NOT KICKING IN. EITHER WAY, I HAVE NO VEHICLE AND NISSAN SEEMS TO THINK THIS IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. IT HAS BECOME A SAFETY NIGHTMARE AND I AM AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE THIS TRUCK EVEN IF IT WAS WORKING.

ON MAY 29, 2020 AFTER PLACING MY TRUCK IN DRIVE, IT SLOWLY ACCELERATED. THE RPM READING WAS AROUND 1K EVEN WITH ME FLOORING THE PEDAL. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WERE ILLUMINATED. I THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THE WARNING LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 0.1 MILES. THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I AGAIN TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON. TRACTION CONTROL REMAINED ON. I ATTEMPTED TO CROSS A BUSY MAIN SIX LANE PARKWAY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. POWER WAS LOST AS I ENTERED SECOND LANE TRYING TO CROSS TO OPPOSITE SIDE OF PARKWAY. THE VEHICLE COASTED STRAIGHT ACROSS PARKWAY AT AROUND 1K RPM. I PARKED THEN ALLOWED IT TO COOL FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. IT CRANKED AGAIN WITH TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STILL ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE HOME APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY. VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY DEALERSHIP AS HAVING A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. MILEAGE IN/MILEAGE OUT 43,937/43,940 DEALER NOTES - CAUSE: P2101 ECT FUNCTION, PERFORMED VOLTAGE TESTS AT ECM/HARNESS ALL OKAY, STATES TO REPLACE ETC REPAIR - REPLACED THROTTLE BODY AND ORING, PERFORMED CLOSED THROTTLE POSITION AND IDLE AIR RELEARN IF I HADN'T FALLEN FOR THE FINANCE MANGER'S SALES PITCH TO PURCHASE A WARRANTY, I WOULD HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH SEVERAL THOUSANDS IN COSTS ON A VEHICLE WITH UNDER 50K MILES. I GUESS THEY KNOW THEIR VEHICLES ARE DOOMED TO FAIL EARLY AND OFTEN. ON SAME VISIT, I HAD TO HAVE A $1,500 SLIDING REAR WINDOW REPLACED. NOT A SAFETY CONCERN AT THIS POINT, BUT THANK YOU MISTER FINANCE MANAGER FOR THE HEADS UP ON VEHICLE QUALITY. LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO AUTHORIZE REPAIRS, NISSAN CORPORATE TOOK A LONG TIME TO APPROVE COSTS. MY TRUCK WAS IN SHOP FOR 2.5 WEEKS.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD CODE CHECKED AT CLOSEST AUTO PARTS STORE, IT WAS AN EVAP CODE. LIGHT WENT OUT, BUT TOOK IT TO DEALER TO BE CHECKED. NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE LIGHT WAS OFF. OTHER SENSOR LIGHTS CAME ON..PARKING AND FUEL CAP, TOOK BACK TO DEALER, GAS CAP AND O RING CHANGED. DEALER SAID NOT TO WORRY IF LIGHTS AND SENSOR WARNINGS CAME ON, THAT TRUCK WAS SAFE TO DRIVE, AND IT WAS SUGGESTED I TAKE PICTURES EACH TIME ONE CAME ON. A COUPLE DAYS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT AND SENSOR WARNINGS KEPT COMING ON. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER, SAID IT WAS A WIRING HARNESS FROM ENGINE TO DRIVER'S DOOR. 2-3 WEEKS LATER WAS TOLD THE WIRING HARNESS WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER, WHICH TELLS ME A LOT OF TITANS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS SOMETIMES STATIONARY AND SOMETIMES GOING DOWN THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY..NO RHYME OR REASON FOR TIMING OF ISSUE.

WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN DRIVE AND STOP AT STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE IDLE RPM DROPS LOW 6 OUT OF 10 TIMES. THE LOWEST I EXPERIENCED WAS ~300 RPM AND THE TRUCK SHAKES. THERE WERE TIMES IT DROPPED TO ~400 RPM, THE TRUCK DID NOT SHAKE. THING IS, IT ONLY DROPS FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND GO BACK UP TO 625-675 RANGE. THEN I TAKE OFF, TRUCK DRIVES NORMAL. NOTE THAT AC IS ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IF NOT HEAVY ON BRAKES IT WILL PULL THROUGH THEM AT A COMPLETE STOP.

SOMETIMES THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING. THEN IT REDUCES MY TITAN TO 10MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION AND I WAS GOING LESS THAN 30MPH BOTH TIMES. THE TRACTION LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON WHEN I DRIVE SOMEWHERE AND LET MY CAR SIT IDLE. USUALLY WHEN THAT HAPPENS ALL THE LIGHT APPEAR. I'LL TURN IT OFF AND ALL THE LIGHTS WILL DISAPPEAR EXCEPT FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME THIS EVER HAPPENED WAS WHEN WE WERE SITTING IDLE IN A PARKING LOT AND AT FIRST IT WOULDN'T EVEN GO ANYWHERE.

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

THE VEHICLE STARTED EXHIBITING VERY LOOSE STEERING BEHAVIOR AND A "CLUNKING" NOISE FROM THE FRONT END. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS PLAY FROM 45DEG TURNED TO THE LEFT TO 45DEG TURNED TO THE RIGHT WITHOUT AFFECTING THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. THE STABILITY CONTROL WOULD ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE MOVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHEN TURNED TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, REGARDLESS OF SPEED (<25MPH - 70MPH) ON DRY, WARM ROADS. WHEN THE STABILITY CONTROL ATTEMPTED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE MOVING STRAIGHT THROUGH A TURN, IT WAS NECESSARY TO QUICKLY APPLY THE BRAKES TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM LEAVING THE ROAD SURFACE. THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAD BETWEEN 1500 AND 2500 MILES DURING THIS TIME.
