This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
On May 29, 2020 after placing my truck in drive, it slowly accelerated. The RPM reading was around 1K even with me flooring the pedal. The traction control light and check engine light were illuminated. I then turned the vehicle off. The warning lights turned off and the vehicle accelerated normally for about 0.1 miles. The warning lights came back on. I again turned the vehicle off and back on. Traction control remained on. I attempted to cross a busy main six lane parkway to make a left turn. Power was lost as I entered second lane trying to cross to opposite side of parkway. The vehicle coasted straight across parkway at around 1K RPM. I parked then allowed it to cool for about 5 minutes. It cranked again with traction control light still on. I was able to drive vehicle home approximately 10 miles. The vehicle was towed the following Saturday. Vehicle was diagnosed by dealership as having a defective throttle body. Mileage in/mileage out 43,937/43,940 dealer notes - cause: P2101 ect function, performed voltage tests at ECM/harness all okay, states to replace etc repair - replaced throttle body and oring, performed closed throttle position and idle air relearn if I hadn't fallen for the finance manger's sales pitch to purchase a warranty, I would have been stuck with several thousands in costs on a vehicle with under 50K miles. I guess they know their vehicles are doomed to fail early and often. On same visit, I had to have a $1,500 sliding rear window replaced. Not a safety concern at this point, but thank you mister finance manager for the heads up on vehicle quality. Local Nissan dealership was not able to authorize repairs, Nissan corporate took a long time to approve costs. My truck was in shop for 2.5 weeks.
When I'm cruising the RPM flutters and the truck seems to be confused as to what gear it should be on. Acceleration sometimes is hesistant and delayed. The gas pedal needs to be almost full depressed for the truck to accelerate. The front bumper is crooked. I checked for any give on the structure but there were none. There was no collision involved.
When the truck is in drive and stop at stop sign or red light, the idle RPM drops low 6 out of 10 times. The lowest I experienced was ~300 RPM and the truck shakes. There were times it dropped to ~400 RPM, the truck did not shake. Thing is, it only drops for a couple of seconds and go back up to 625-675 range. Then I take off, truck drives normal. Note that ac is on when this happens. If not heavy on brakes it will pull through them at a complete stop.
When the ac is engaged on the vehicle and I attempt to slow to a stop. Occasionally it will surge in power prior to stopping, resulting in a surge of distance occasionally strong enough to push through the amount of applied braking. Causing the vehicle to cross into crosswalks or traffic. This has happened multiple times.
This is the second Titan xd with the same issue "dead pedal" or no acceleration when pedal is pressed this is when the truck is being driven at various speeds. Nissan has attempted to fix with no know repairs at this time.

Unintended acceleration multiple times in my possession. A launch forward into another individuals vehicle. Brought it back to the dealership for a second time with the same complaint and finally they were able to duplicate the problem. Yet with a simple update nna Corp decides that the vehicle is safe to come back into my hands but the dealer does not feel the same in this situation. I've been with out my vehicle for over 3 months now. And I don't feel it's safe.
1) acceleration delay from standstill or while driving including when making left or right turns. 2) transmission shift delay between gears and confusion with whether to up or down shift.
When pushing on the gas pedal, the vehicle does not always respond immediately. On at least 3 separate occasions, I have been stopped, pressed the gas pedal and the vehicle rolled into an intersection, but I wasn't able to accelerate for about 3-4 seconds. I was essentially sitting in an intersection blocking traffice waiting on the truck to respond.
