“My vehicle is a 2004 Nissan Titan pickup truck and when I'm driving and I start to slow down to stop when I get about 40 miles per hour it wants to speed up real fast on me and I'm trying to stop at when it's doing it when it drops down to 25 it does it again and then again at 5 or 10 miles an hour does it is very very very dangerous because of almost wrecked several times it's so bad that it's messed up my brakes because now my my pads are making noises rotors it does it every single time you drive the vehicle”

“Imagine driving down a mountainous road in idaho state. You are going down a hill in a pick-up truck pulling a camper. All of a sudden your vehicle goes into limp mode - it won't rev over 1000 RPM. You look to pull over but there is only a small shoulder. Vehicles are skidding trying to avoid an accident as your vehicle is disabled and only partially off the road. After fixing the problem, I realized the truck should never have gone into limp mode. It is a critical design flaw with the vehicle. I was put in harms way for no reason. …”

“During routine recall for ECM module the dealer informed me that both exhaust manifolds are cracked as this has been a recurring issue with this model vehicle causing exhaust fumes to enter the cabin and also cause poor performance with the vehicle. Dealer quoted this as a $3200.00 repair and will not assume any portion of the repair. Dealer beaverton Nissan has informed me that this issue is due to the poor quality of the exhaust manifolds any possible faulty welds on the product combined with material that is too thin to start with. …”

“When trying to backup the truck the column gear shifter moved into reverse but the vehicle was still moving forward. Fortunately I didn't run over anyone but it could have easily happened in a busy parking lot. The gear shifter was moving up and down into every position but it was continuously engaged in drive. I drove home and parked. The shifter is still moving up and down; the gear indicator shows that the transmission is in d - drive but the vehicle is rolling as if it was in neutral and can't be started. There is a Nissan recall no. Ru403 but Nissan says my truck is not affected.”
