I bought a 2016 Nissan Titan XD diesel truck. I have 30,000 miles on it when the engine went. Nisan has my truck which is under guaranty for over 6 weeks now investigating and taking samples while bull shiting me every time I call. Not only the truck has major problems but Nisan it’s self is not the company that would stand behind its product. I have no other alternative but to keep on calling and wait. Stay away from Nisan.

great truck!!! Never had an issue with it, and the 100000 mile warranty is a great safety net. No complaints at all!!!!

2016 Titan XD problems and buyer beware!

Trans shift very hard from 3-4, did re-flash at 8K it helps a bit on the 1-2-3, down shift from 4-3-2 sometime still resulted a strong knock on the truck which felt like another car bump into your truck. I was driving today at 45 miles hours and the truck suddenly slow down to crawling at 2-5mph, the pedal not responding at all, and I had to limb to safety. I turn off the engine and check oil and fluids and everything are where it supposed to be. I turned the truck back on and the engine light was on but the truck won't move on D or R, it will limp at 2 mph but that's it. I waited for 30 mins, call Nissan dealer and they provide the Nissan roadside assistant number for towing it into the dealer. I did not call, but gave it another try and it moved normally and the engine light was still on. I took it into dealer and they will look at it. I am so frustrated with this truck transmission, and this problem involving safety and could be life threatening. What if I was on a high way in front of large truck and it lost power like that? When it comes to safety issue that could endanger life, I am out of it. I have shown up at the dealer multiple times to fixed the trans issue, but it is not helping much.

Where are the headrests?

I love this truck and would buy it in a heartbeat if they only had headrests for all seats. How can a brand new vehicle still come out with no headrests in the center positions for both rows? This is unacceptable for my kids. That is the only thing keeping me from buying this truck. Toyota and Ford have this figured out with 3 point restraints and headrests for the front and rear middle seats. What a terrible oversight. I plan on making a purchase in the next 6-12 months and hope that Nissan figures this out with the next model year, otherwise I'll purchase a Toyota even though this is really the truck I would like

Below zero stars. In 60,000 miles the gas engine failed 3 times. Dealer did not recognze warranty on suspension even though warranty company did. Dealer was dishonest on vehicle history - didn't fix inherent issues before selling and failed to tell me they had already replaced over 30 engines on 2016 to 2021's due to known factory defect on Cyl #7. Ball joints were worn out - new tires severely damaged after 5000 miles. $5700 to replace headlamp - Insane! Misaligned doors, broken heater. Horrible fuel mileage - gas engine is way underpowered, rev's way too high, transmission ratios no good, very poor acceleration despite 3.93 axle. No inventory of parts left in NA. Nissan head office wouldn't help. Although it has a huge amount of room and rides very well, it is very heavy for the underperforming drive train. Never ever buy a Nissan vehicle of any kind. Newer models of other manufacturers have same issues. KEEP YOUR OLD TRUCK UNTIL ITS DROPS DEAD and ALSO DON'T BUY THE FANCY NEW CENTRAL COMPUTER DISPLAY CONTROL SYSTEMS ON THE NEW VEHICLES WHICH ARE PRONE TO CONTSTANT FAILURE. I kick myself and highly regret trading in my 2009 Ford which ran 150,000 miles with no major issues other than normal maintenance wear! It got far superior city and towing fuel mileage even at this old age (Old guys rule, young boys drool)

It was a great truck. No issues with it. Ran great. It’s comfortable. Unfortunately it was time for another vehicle. 2016 Nissan Titan XD was a great truck.

These motors have to be broken in before full power comes on. I have the gas v8 and the diesel and I will say the top end on the diesel is insane. I accidentally went 105 so I don’t know how they are saying no passing power lol.

I have driven a lot of race cars both asphalt and dirt 200 mph and less. I would really like to become an r and d driver for the titan truck This is how much I like this titan xd I bought. By far the best truck I have ever purchased I didn't like the dealer that I bought it from poor sales staff but the best truck ever. 19.3 mpg on a trip I have no complaints but I could help the company develope an even better one
