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
2018 Nissan Titan transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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..
When making a left turn onto a four lane road with median separating the opposite direction lanes, I began to pull out and when part way across was faced with an emergency with a car racing at me in the second lane. Flooring the accelerator, the truck failed to accelerate or downshift through the turn. This is brand new 2018 titan xd diesel 2000 miles on it. First trip to dealer told no codes all firmware up to date. "you need to drive some more for it to learn" symtoms still evident after 600 miles. Dealer found nothing and nissan said release to customer. "unable to replicate customer concern." filed case with nissan consumer affairs. Told to take to different dealer for second opinion. Same answers. Nissan scheduled engineer to meet me at dealer. Duplicated delay / lack of drive over to meet engineer. Test drove for 30 minutes where engineer duplicated hard shifts but not delays. My opinion but he never tried to mimic conditions for delay. Report " no problems found, everything to maunfactures design specifications. " took back to first dealer and test drove with tech who immediately and repeatedly repeated problem of delay / no acceleration for multiple seconds with accelerator floored. Said nissan never came up with fix, they all do it. Also, offered his own situation where on a test drive almost got rear ended by a semi after making a turn on a highway feeder road. This is a safety issue and nissan is aware of the problem and has done nothing to fix it after 3 years.
Truck has bad hesitation when automatic transmission is shifting from gear to gear and the rpms fluctuate badly. No low end power. This condition is worse when towing. Dealer said they all do this. I have owned 4 titans including my 2018 none of my other trucks did this. Wish I didn't trade in my 2013
In a rolling stop vehicle hesitates/lags/stalls 2nd visit they did a software up grade problem still continues not fix was told takes 2000 miles for truck to get used to new software now at 11000 miles same issue
My job requires me to travel a lot and in doing so when I'm either merging onto the interstate or needing to pull out at intersections from a dead stop . It's as tho my truck stalls and my throttle response goes dead . Leaving the other cars do come close in rear ending me . It's scary especially when I have my wife along with my three kids ranging from 8 to 12 months of age .
