I bought this truck new. I have a clunking and looseness in the steering. It started around 14,000 miles. I have had it to the Nissan dealer 3 times for this. The last time the mechanic road with me at 20430 miles and he acknowledged the problem. Two days later when I picked up the truck, the service writer told me it was a normal characteristic for the truck to clunk and be loose. I then made a customer complaint to Nissan corporate. They told me it was normal to be loose, and clunk. While driving in less than perfect conditions 6/28/2019 interstate 40 going through the mountains it almost caused me to wreck. I was pulling a 20 foot gooseneck trailer totaling about 6,000 pounds. I had the cruise set at 45 mph. I have not had a ticket in 25 years. This extra weight and the curvy rough roads caused the loose driving to be a real problem. It is dangerous. There are many post also on the Titan xd forum about this problem. I am not the only one.

Traveling at 25-30 mph on a dry, grass covered road, applied the brakes to slow down, no braking occurred; I then pushed on the brakes as hard as I could, I felt the ABS pulsating, began to hear a "clunking" sound and feel a clicking in my brake pedal matching the timing of the clunking sound. Since the brakes were not responding I then turned the wheel to the left attempting to turn the truck, it did not respond; I then turned the steering wheel to the right, no response. The truck continued straight into a tree, head on collision. Not watching the speed I assume I was doing 20-25mph when the truck hit the tree, no airbags deployed. After the collision, when preparing for the tow, it was observed the drive shaft was disconnected at mid-way of the truck, not snapped, just off. This seemed a strange result with a head-on collision; the tow driver made the same observation.

The vehicle started exhibiting very loose steering behavior and a "clunking" noise from the front end. The steering wheel has play from 45deg turned to the left to 45deg turned to the right without affecting the direction of travel. The stability control would attempt to keep the vehicle moving in a straight line when turned to the left or right, regardless of speed (<25mph - 70mph) on dry, warm roads. When the stability control attempted to keep the vehicle moving straight through a turn, it was necessary to quickly apply the brakes to keep the vehicle from leaving the road surface. The vehicle in question had between 1500 and 2500 miles during this time.
