We were not told of a recall, however the service department said we requested a check for recall back in 08/2019 when vehicle was taken in for oil change. Our next visit was due to an engine light coming on, nothing was found & removed from dash. The vehicle then had to constantly be jumped, dealership changed battery. Vehicle still had problems starting, dealership changed starter. A month later vehicle still not starting, parking sensor light flashed real fast, dash screen kept showing -€œno key detected, key system error, lights flickered & radio made a loud popping sound, passenger seat kept going forward/back, up & down, making funny sound under hood, gauges going up & down, wipers going off.Upon charging battery again, moments later won-€™t start again. I am afraid this all has to do with the recall they had on the alternator harness wiring, but dealer keeps saying there is no recall because there is currently no open recall on the vehicle. Is there anything I can do about this? Have been in contact with dealership and Nissan Consumer. Nissan Consumer informed they are not able to purchase the vehicle back or offer another source of transportation because there is no recall. Vehicle is currently being sent to dealer again-€¦will not start.

Unknown - while driving my vehicle several warning lights started popping up all at onces the lights on the dash where glitching. Then all the power to my dash an possibly other parts of vehicle lost connection. Vehicle wouldn't even show speed or what gear I was in. While I was driving with 2 small children in the truck. I immediately pulled over. I have since taken my vehicle to a dealership where it's been for a couple weeks. They where unable to give me an exact diagnosis so my warranty won't cover repairs yet. I now have to tow my vehicle 96 miles to a different dealership in hopes of getting it fixed. My 2017 truck will not even start now!!

  • 61,000 miles
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that since AT&T disconnected the 3-G service from his vehicle, the center display that warned of vehicle safety issues such as service brakes, radiator, transmission and oil pressure malfunction was no longer operating as designed. Additionally, the contact stated that the warning light would not illuminate on the instrument panel and would only be displayed on the center display that was no longer operating as designed. The contact also stated that the SOS button that would allow him to call for assistance in the event of a crash was no longer operable. The contact stated that he was afraid that the removal of AT&T 3G service from his vehicle caused a risk to his safety. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist as AT&T was responsible of the issue. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.

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.

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.

Engine fan clutch makes excessive engine noise. Sounds like a jet engine. Dealer claims it is as designed, however, it is excessively loud, and causes extreme drope in overall fuel economy. This is a known failure that the selling dealer refuses to fix.

Error code P0527. Fan speed sensor. When A/C is on and this sensor fails, engine goes into high RPM too incorrectly cool off motor/trans. When accelerating, vehicle performs poorly (barely moves). This happened while waiting at a traffic signal to and from our destination and of course while driving. Driver is left in a precarious situation as you accelerate truck barely moves all due to a bad sensor. Sensor tells vehicle its overheating which isn't the case as temperature gauge / range is normal. Would have a better design if a) a second level verification occurred comparing truck temp before entering safe (limp) mode and 2)error code appeared on dash informing the driver and dealer of the issue. If code had appeared on dash, dealer could have looked up code when I called and simply stated "turn of A/C to resume to normal driving". dealer was baffled upon arrival with no prior reports and with no indication on where to start troubleshooting this issue. Truck had to be towed. Would have been an awful situation in areas where no cell coverage exists and 125 miles from home. Luckily we had planned to ride in someone else's vehicle that day or this actually would have occurred. End users should have a booklet of error codes and possible remedies. Turning off the A/C was the solution and an end user quick fix vs. Leaving the driver in a dangerous situation. Truck has only 11,200 miles and is a 2017 model.

The drivers side rear door will lock. You can not unlock the door with the key, pushing any buttons, using the fob, nor can you unlock it from the inside. You must use the master button on the drivers door and in doing so you must lock and unlock the doors dozens of times and only then it may work the rear door. You do not need to lock the door for this to occur. The door will lock on its own. The vehicle can be unlocked, sitting for a day, and I can go out to use the vehicle and the rear door will be locked. You can be driving the vehicle and the rear door will simply lock itself. If you lock the vehicle (and it makes no difference how you do it) the rear door will not unlock with the other doors. My concern is that with a rear passenger (usually a child) and were involved in an accident entering or exiting the vehicle from the drivers side rear door would be nearly impossible because of the locking door. A very dangerous situation if fire were involved.

The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was uncertain if there was an internal failure or a leak that could progress due to the strong odor. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was approximately 500.
