Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving home the truck revved and lost power, I took my foot off the accelerator the truck regained power and I was able to slowly drive the truck home. It happened twice more on that same drive home. I took it down to the dealership where they told me it was the transmission. I explained it only had 22,000 miles on it and it has never been abused in anyway. There is no reason for the transmission to break. We use it mainly for the dogs to travel in and when guess are in town we have an extra vehicle run to the store and back. …”
NHTSA complaint #10494750, filed 2013-01, 22,000 miles“We just took our 2008 Nissan Titan into have oil changed we had just gotten the vehicle a couple days before and found out that the exhaust manifolds were cracked with only 66k miles on it! This truck is in excellent condition with no tow package and not used for hauling or heavy work. We had no idea this was a problem with the vehicles or we wouldn't have bought one. There are many people online complaining about this now that I have looked up the exact problem which I didn't know existed. Please make this a recall. I have heard that their fix doesn't work and will crack again.”
