Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2016 Nissan Titan. The vehicle was a dealer sale. The contact later discovered a mileage discrepancy. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 31,190. When the vehicle was later taken to a dealer for an engine failure, the dealer informed the contact that the mileage was 226,000.
This car becomes completely undriveable due to an unspecified def error. The error it turns out seems to be tied to an electrical wiring harness which costs about 8000$ dollars to repair btw and seems to be chronic due to a design flaw on all the titan xds. It becomes damaged by water due to a design flaw in the tail light oddly enough. Look at the Nissan Forum for more info.

Loud noise and engine kept running but was unresponsive. Was traveling about 70 mph just coasted off the interstate. Was pulling my pontoon boat back to the lake during rush hour if I hadn’t been at an exit might have turned out different. Had it towed to nearest Nissan dealership and was told right away camshaft was broken and engine would have to be replaced.
Faulty Turbo Actuator Vehicle would stall stall without check engine light in traffic. I could Cycle the key and vehicle would run again no check engine light. It did this at least 4-5 times in traffic and on freeways. Nissan also is not providing support as actuator was on back order for over 6 months. Vehicle stall I f with no warning and cycling key to restart. I replaced it and once had it repaired and vehicle still runs poorly.
ENGINE LOSES POWER, SLOWS DOWN TO A CREEPING 5-10 MPH DURING PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC OR TURNS-OFF COMPLETELY. INSTRUMENT PANEL READS EXHAUST FILTER OVERLOAD/REDUCED SPEED. AFTERWARD, VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT TIMES OR WILL START BUT RESUMES 5-10 MPH SPEED OF TRAVEL. HAD MANUAL RESET PERFORMED; ONLY 44 MILES LATER TO HAVE SAME ENGINE TROUBLE BESET THE VEHICLE AGAIN.
ONCE WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHUT OF WITH OUT NOTICE. THERE IS SOME HESITATION OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING AND HAS ALSO STOPPED RUNNING WHILE SITTING STILL. TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AND PAID TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTICS TEST AND THEY SAID NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ELECTRICAL OR FUEL COMPONENTS. NO ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. *TR
ON 05-01-2020 I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME ON I-59 NORTH AND I LOST THE POWER STEERING, ALTERNATOR AND A/C. I CONTINUE DRIVING BECAUSE I STILL HAVE MECHANICAL STEERING CONTROL I GET HOME AND I NOTED THE SERPENTINE BELT AND THE BELT TENSIOMETER WAS BROKEN, I ORDERED AND CHANGED AFTER REPAIRED I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON 05-07-2020 AND I NOTICE THE CAR IS NOT WORKING GOOD, I CHECK AND 1 OF THE BOLTS FROM THE STEERING PUMP ADAPTER WAS BROKEN, I TAKE TO THE DEALER AND AFTER A WEEK AND BE TALKING WITH NISSAN CASE NUMBER 40163453, WITH THE CAR INSIDE OF THE WARRANTY THEY SAY THE BOLT IS A HARDWARE AND IS NOT COVER BY THE WARRANTY, ALSO THE DEALER SAY IS GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE REPAIR BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO REMOVE THE RADIATOR, I CHOOSE TO DO THE REPAIR BY MYSELF, I'M AN AIRCRAFT INSPECTOR WITH 39 YEARS' EXPERIENCE REPAIRING AIRPLANES. I FIX IN THE BEST WAY I KNOW, BUT THIS SITUATION CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT SEE ATTACH PICTURES, ALSO THE ADAPTER PUMP HOLES ARE LITTLE BIG OF THE DIAMETER OF THE BOLTS WITH THE VIBRATION OF THE ENGINE (DIESEL) CAN CAUSE THIS BOLTS TO BE LOOSE. *TR
FACTORY HEADLIGHTS HAVE A BALLAST THAT CONTROLS LOW BEAMS AND DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS THAT IS RETAINING WATER AND CAUSING HEADLIGHTS TO EITHER STAY ON OR NOT WORK AT ALL. I HAVE HAD A NISSAN DEALER LOOK AT IT AND THEY DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AS WE USE THE TRUCK AT NIGHT AND DAY AND ONLY HAVE HIGH BEAMS. IT ALL STARTED AFTER WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND WASHED IT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF AND THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM STAYED ON FOR 17 HOURS. REPLACED THE BALLAST WITH A USED ONE AND IT WORKED BUT ANY TIME IT RAINED OR WASHED THE TRUCK IT WOULD STOP WORKING AND NOW IT IS COMPLETELY OUT AND TODAY 5/26/20 HAD TO REPLACE BOTH BATTERY'S DUE TO THE HEADLIGHTS BE GROUNDED OUT AND DRAWING POWER. REPLACED BOTH BATTERY'S AND TOOK THE TRUCK DOWN THE STREET TO THE CORNER STORE AND CAME BACK HOME AND THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT ALMOST CAUGHT FIRE AND FILLED WITH CONDENSATION FROM THE BALLAST HOLDING WATER AND HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY'S TO STOP IT FROM PULLING POWER. I HAVE A SCREEN SHOT FROM THE DEALER SAYING THE TRUCK HAS A 5 YEAR/100K MILE BASIC WARRANTY BUT NISSAN IS TELLING ME IT ONLY HAS A 3 YEAR/36K MIKE WARRANTY AND WILL NOT COVER IT AS THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY'S ARE $1200 EACH PLUS INSTALLATION. I HAVE ALREADY GOT A TICKET FOR THE LF HEADLIGHT BEING OUT AND A TICKET FOR DRIVING WITH HIGH BEAMS ON. CONSTANTLY HAVE A ERROR MESSAGE ON MY DASH AND ONLY HAVE FOG LIGHTS OR HIGH BEAMS. *TR
