2016 Nissan Titan XD Diesel Platinum Reserve 4dr Crew Cab SB (5.0L 8cyl Turbodiesel 6A)
Nissan Titan XD Sucks!!!
 Purchased brand new 2016 Nissan Titan XD Platinum Reserve my second diesel truck first Nissan.  All I can say is wow!!  I'm now only at 7K miles on the odometer!!  This is my sixth Nissan/Infiniti up till now every vehicle has been bullet proof.  Have to say every single issue being reported about this vehicle seems to be absolutely true.  Transmission abrupt shifting, diesel odor in cabin, clunking noise in front end, power cut off when turning, and electronic issues!!  Transmission shifting hard up and down.  On the way home from the dealership in TN headed to OH the vehicle was barely drivable.  It shifted so hard down that I was seriously concerned it would damage itself so I had to drive it at constant speed making trip intense to say the least.  Note this was after the TN dealership supposedly completed the "transmission update".  I limped vehicle into dealership in Dayton OH.  Dayton Nissan dealer completed transmission update and advised vehicle good to go.  Picked up vehicle and drove it off lot...first lot clunk!  All day long...downshift clunk!...upshift pop!.  Oh man now I'm really getting concerned.  I'm so concerned about transmission damaging itself that I'm overlooking the other problems.  But lets talk about those.  My next main concern is the loss of power when turning.  You turn and hit the gas to accelerate and there is nothing there!!  I'm not talking turbo lag I'm talking literally the power goes to zero!  Then equally bad when after it goes to zero it lags big time then abruptly comes on.  I've been trying different driving habits to see if it does this in straight aways or if it is strictly on turns.  It is most definitely more pronounced when turning.  Talk about dangerous!!  Just today pulled out at major intersection and gas truck coming towards light in first lane...pull out quarter way when I realize man this guy can't stop.  Turning left.  Hit gas to get away as smoke is billowing out from under his truck and nothing!!  Thank Jesus as the truck was going to smack me broadside power kicked on and I escaped major incident if not death.  Wow!!  Had I been driving my BMW X5 diesel under same circumstances it would have jetted me away so quick I wouldn't have even thought about it later in the day.  This thing is a potential death trap!  Ok so enough drama.  The odor enters the cabin while idling, driving slow, and occasional a waft or two while tooling down the highway.  My friend the other day while idling was like "dude seriously this thing is making me nauseous".  I'm like well you get used to it after awhile.  He was like hurry up and get me to our destination I don't know how you are driving this like this.  Electronics are full of gremlins on this baby.  Get in fire her up and on comes the screen stating tran data is being transmitted...shift into R and camera should kick on ...would be nice...but instead screen doesn't change!  Good thing I didn't back up because a kid was standing behind my truck and well...hmm...accident!!  Are you kidding me?!!  What good is a back up camera on a vehicle if it isn't reliable?!  It is more unsafe might as well disconnect it!!!  Ok so lets talk about more issues that are nuisance but not going to cause bodily injury or death.  Back up and get to bottom of drive and springs in front compress as wheel is turned and squeak squeal creak groan.  Is this a new Nissan Titan XD Premium or a 1952 Ford?  I would argue the 52 Ford pickup wouldn't make these many noises when simply backing up!  Embarrassing to say the least.  I could keep going but I'm tired now of hating this vehicle already.  I've owned probably 75 different vehicles mostly new and never anything remotely like this beast.  Right now it is a beast of burden.  Going back into the shop next week I'll keep you posted.  Expectations very low at this point based on the fact Car and Driver just rated Nissan Titan XD they have at 30K and it most definitely is a lemon!!
