I saw a lemon (lemon law that is)

I have had Nissan trucks back when the first ones were the D-50 pick up truck from the 90's. I've had quite a few of them for my business and they held up very well. The all new designed Titan XD diesel first came out in 2016 and I just had to have it. Looked great. Unfortunately mine was a lemon. I took the gamble being the first year they came out and lost. In the shop for air conditioning going out 6 times, transmission really jerky shifting, acceleration was almost non existent from a complete stop (serious safety issue in my opinion), and diesel smell in the cabin almost every time it "regenerates". The diesel smell happened about every 2-3 days for about 5 minutes each time. When it did happen it was almost gagging. Have to have the windows down till it cleared out. I've had the truck for 1 1/2 years and decided that was long enough and plenty of time for Nissan to try to fix the problems. With that many problems it was a candidate for the lemon law. With the help of an attorney, Nissan bought back the truck (1/5/2018) and paid me back every penny the truck cost, minus taxes, tag, etc. I have to give credit to Nissan for the buy back without any hassles at all and I feel they were more than generous to complete the transaction. I did speak to the general manager at my local dealer and he said the newer 2017 model diesels have not changed and were possibly going to have problems like I had. I didn't give up on Nissan and purchased a 2017 (new) regular Titan Platinum Reserve edition, GAS engine. I've only had a couple hundred miles but this truck drives like a Cadillac! Extremely smooth riding. Nissan has there work cut out on the Titan XD Diesel trucks still. I've even checked online in the Titan forums and there are hundreds there alone with mostly the diesel smell in the cabin and about half with transmission issues. It's also a very stiff ride (like a tank) compared to the Titan. The biggest problem is this was the first truck that I practically fell in love with, but with some relationships it was time to part ways and say good bye.

This truck has its own niche. It's creature comforts are abundant and well thought out. I love the cummins diesel. Remarkably easy to drive around town despite its size. After using the blind spot detection, around view monitor, and front and rear sonars, I don't think I could drive a truck like this in the city without them. I constantly use the bed tracks, and side boxes. The truck seems expensive, but I thing you get a lot in the bargain when you tally up the features..

This is a great buy if your looking for an all around truck for work and leisure. Gives you the feel of a 3/4 ton yet handles like a 1/2 ton. Very spacious and comfortable. Not great on gas, but it is a big truck built for hauling.

I wish I would have read reviews about the 2016 diesel model!! I had a 2006 gasoline Titan and it drove great I had over 200k on it when I gave it someone else. There is something seriously wrong with the new diesel models. Randomly the truck runs ruff and the cab fills with chokingly strong fumes. The truck is averaging 10.5 MPG and the dealership says there nothing they can do! The transmission sucks and shifts horribly!! The parking sensors randomly go off. The DEF sensor has something wrong with it you have to get under the truck to tap it for the alert go off before it shuts the truck down! I am the 3rd owner of a 2016 with less than 10k miles. Dealership says they cant find anything and consumer affairs has stopped responding. We will have to get a lawyer involved!! It is a LEMON DO NOT BUY THEM!!!!

I've been test driving lots of Trucks, I'm not ready yet. (i'm one of those shoppers sales guys hate). I've reviewed a lot of the Trucks I've test driven including some of the Diesels and some gas engines. This one is at the top of my list. It's definitely not cheap, but after test driving it I learned why and YES, I'm willing to spend the extra $$$ on this one when my time comes. It's as smooth as any of the gas engines I drove including the Tundra and Silverado, but has the torque of a Diesel. In fact, I think it's smoother than the Silverado. What I noticed about it is the suspension is so soft and smooth. I don't have to have a 10K lb trailer behind me to give me a smooth ride like I would in a Duramax or Powerstroke. It's your every-day diesel. I can't think of anything negative about it. Sure it's not cheap, but good things never are. Worth a test drive.

Titan XD tows like a beast.

I am A retired Quality Engineer and have owned a 2011 Ram (Cummins) Mega Cab Laramie and a Silverado (Duramax) LTZ and the Titan XD. The Titan XD is hands down has a better ride quality, Handles better, and actually tows by 32 foot Keystone easily. The Cummins diesel is no joke. On the Highway this thing moves with fuel mileage for the first 2200 miles at 18 Hwy and 15 City. The interior comfort on the SL is comparable to the LTZ. Driving this truck is easy and you do not have to fight the wheel like the chevy and ram. The factory goose neck setup is great, The Electrical connector in the bed can run an electric impact wrench, The wheel to wheel lit running boards allow easy entry for me and the wife who complained about the Chevy and Ram. The two issues that can be improved are the Fuel tank size and adding Passenger Lumbar control. I can add a auxiliary tank and a tuner later on. The dealership has been great with a couple of small issues. Overall this truck is exactly what I needed. WIth the Ram Recalls and the Chevrolet vibration issues Titan XD is an excellent option. I did drive a Tundra Platinum and liked the truck but the leather seats were just a tad bit (Not Much) softer than the seats Fred Flintstone had in his car.

So this truck was purchased as a dual use vehicle. Needing a truck to handle the day to day business and when needed be able to tow big loads. Now driving it quite a bit it's been in the shop 4 times already. Right off the bat the engine acceleration was terrible, to the point it almost caused an accident trying to merge with highway traffic. In the mileage put on its used roughly 6 gallons of def fluid. Nissan informed me the engine adds fuel to try and burn emissions "soot" then if that fails it will use the fluid. I've seen the truck get 17-18 mpg under certain circumstances. I've had the truck back just to verify there was no emission or driveability issues. My recommendations? I would only recommend this truck if your pulling huge loads all the time. Anything else your wasting huge amounts of fuel.

I have owned the truck for 2 weeks now so cant speak about reliability but this thing is incredible to drive. I went in for a Frontier and loved the ride and agility but the back seat wasn't going to get it done for family outings. Test drove the Titan XD and was hooked immediately! I have to say I was intimidated at first, this thing is huge compared to the sedans and suv's I have had over time, but this beast drives smooth and quiet with plenty of room for the gang. Not sure what it was about the personality of the car but it just kinda spoke to me (buy me) not sure if it was the Cummins diesel badge or the 4x4 or the quality of the ride or the reliability of Nissan (owned several including Infinity). I have read some complaints about cost or power, I guess because I dont know much about trucks but this thing could pull over 12k, Dang a 30ft Eliminator speed boat ways about 5k lbs. whoever complains about its towing capacity is just looking at and apple when the obviously need a orange. The other negative I have seen is comparable trucks are cheaper, I just dont think this is true. someone compared a loaded SV against a stripped version of a 2500 and said it was too expensive, just silly. I got 7k off Pro4x, this beast is just sexy people would hard pressed to find a cummins diesel 4x4 with all that comes with this truck for less than 47k after discount.

Bought a Titan XD and had some problems with the truck. A collapsed or "seized up" control arm on a truck with less that 15k miles, diesel fumes in the cab and squeaking (again, less than 15k miles)10 days to repair and the squeaking and diesel fumes in the cab were not fixed. At least they replaced the control arm in 10 days. Nissan flew out a special mechanic but Reliable didn't have an "equivalent" loaner vehicle. When I expressed my frustration to the general manager, he responded, "Anyway...I'm not going to be able to help you." If you need a truck (and don't just "want" a truck) I'd stick with Ford, RAM or Chevy. Nissan tried with the Titan XD with Cummins engine, but they don't have a handle on quality control and their dealerships (at least Reliable) doesn't treat customer like they appreciate them purchasing vehicles. I was treated as an inconvenience and won't go back to Reliable or ever buy another Nissan. BUYER BEWARE!!!
