Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I left my home on a 1300-mile round trip from ar to ky. About 100 miles into my trip while pulling an enclosed 16' trailer at 70mph on a flat 4 lane highway the warning reduced engine power and the check engine light came on. The reduce engine power warning went out, but the check engine light stayed on. During the next 550 miles the reduced power warning came on and went out about every 100 miles. I was able to continue to ky that day. The light went out the next morning. …”

NHTSA complaint #11338482, filed 2020-07, 57,300 miles

“While merging into traffic on hwy 98 there was a significant lag in acceleration, almost causing me to be rear ended. As I turned to merge and pressed the accelerator there was no response for 5-6 seconds, I never experienced this lag in my 2011 Nissan titan.”

NHTSA complaint #10992875, filed 2017-06, 2,680 miles

“I have had my 2016 Nissan Titan Xd platinum reserve diesel for 1 month and have driven it about 450 miles. On 3 separate occasions when accelerating from a stop sign I have gotten a dead pedal. While accelerating reasonably (not mashing the accelerator) from a stop sign to cross an intersection the truck would roll forward about 6-8 feet then nothing (no acceleration, no RPM rev, just dead) for 4-6 seconds. Then with the pedal still about 1/2 way down the truck would respond and take off like a rocket. …”

NHTSA complaint #10970646, filed 2017-04, 250 miles

“From stopped position: 1-3 second or greater delay (lag) in acceleration to movement of vehicle. While driving: 1-3 second or greater delay (lag) in acceleration to response of vehicle. Jerking motion between gears. No predictability of applying acceleration while moving or stopped creating safety concerns. Nissan is aware and is stating this is normal. Occurs while driving all speeds including attempting to cross intersections or pass on highway.”

NHTSA complaint #11031821, filed 2017-10, 20,100 miles
