2017 Nissan Titan Power Train

Truck was fine and then went to pull out in traffic and it would not shift past 3rd gear, was dangerous because traffic was moving quickly and no lights appeared on the dash but the transmission just stopped shifting past 3rd. Had to limp it back off the road which was scary because people were traveling at higher speeds than we were able to even though just 2 minutes prior we had come from that same road and we were traveling just fine. Was told by dealer that the valve body went out and is costing $3400 to replace, no metal shavings found inside the transmission but this incident almost caused a wreck and is costing a serious fortune. Seems to be a serious and common issue from the research I’ve done, unfortunately it’s something that’s just becoming known because I would have never bought it expecting danger and expenses like these.

Car went into limp mode on the highway and would not exceed 40 mph where the speeds were around 70 putting me at risk with a code of P0720 which usually points to a valve body or transmission.

My 2017 Nissan Titan automatic transmission started acting up. After a two hour highway drive it started to hesitate and then jump forward alternatively. Then vehicle would not shift up from first gear to the next for about a mile to then jump up with a vigorous forward sudden motion. This is dangerous when vehicles or pedestrian are in front of me because I risk to hit them .

We are having a transmission slipping issue caused by a Torque Converter which Nissan says will be $8000 to repair

Bought my 2017 Nissan Titan brand new, as soon as I drove it from the lot , check engine came on, took it to dealer and dealer fixed a recall, then at about 30,000mi check engine turned on again and they said it was some sensor for the transmission, at 99000mi before my warranty expires check engine turned on again and its pulling a code P0780 and a P0780 pending. My mechanic told me that Nissan just erased the code instead of fixing it due to warranty. And now they said that it may be a part inside the transmission and that they will the cost has to come out of my pocket when I still under warranty.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and was towed to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed that the diesel particulate filter had black sud and the sensor located near the particulate filter had melted into the particulate filter and the particulate filter, sensor, dual turbo, EGR valve and glow plug were all replaced. Reprogramming was done to the vehicle's computer as well. However, the failure recurred and the vehicle could not get out of limp mode. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and was awaiting the service record from the dealer. The failure mileage was 48,000.

SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING FROM STOP, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I HAVE TO MANUALLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE WHILE THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE AFTER 20-25 MPH, THE TRUCK STOPS ACCELERATING UNTIL I MANUALLY PUT THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE. IT USUALLY TAKES ME A SECOND OR TWO TO NOTICE THAT I'M NO LONGER ACCELERATING AND TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY MANUALLY SHIFTING INTO DRIVE. MEANWHILE TRAFFIC IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING. THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAS TO SLOW DOWN. SOMETIMES THE APPROACHING TRAFFIC WILL HONK BECAUSE I'M AN UNEXPECTED OBSTACLE TO THEM. I'VE TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. IT'S DIFFICULT FOR ME TO JUDGE THE FREQUENCY, BUT I'D GUESS THIS OCCURS SEVERAL TIMES PER MONTH. THIS HAD OCCURRED SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER SEVERAL TIMES THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 0 AND 40 ALLOWING EXCESS RPMS BEFORE SHIFTING RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN FIRST ACCELERATING AND CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME. THE DEALER HAS REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE AND STILL INTERMITTENT AND ERRATIC SHIFTING STILL REMAINS.

SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE PADDLE SHIFTER DOWNSHIFTING ON ITS OWN WHILE I AM ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD TWICE NOW AS IT IS ALARMING. IT GOES FROM D TO GEAR 1-6 AT A HIGH SPEED AND THE REVS OVERLOAD. I RECENTLY NOTICED IT MIGHT BE RELATED TO MY PHONE? I KEEP MY PHONE NAVIGATION ATTACHED TO A VENT CLIP BEHIND THE PADDLE SHIFTER. SEEMS LIKE WHEN I REACH FOR MY PHONE, IS WHEN THE GEARS SUDDENLY CHANGE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED. NISSAN TOLD ME NOTHING, BESIDES "THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN" OR "MOVE YOUR PHONE AWAY FROM THE PADDLE SHIFTER".

3 TIMES TO DEALERSHIP TO COMPLAIN ABOUT TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES. 1ST TIME THEY HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PROGRAM UPDATE TO INSTALL. I NOTICED NO DIFFERENCE. 2ND AND 3RD TIME TO DEALER TO INFORM THEM THAT TRANSMISSION DOESN'T KNOW WHICH GEAR TO BE IN AT CITY SPEEDS OF 20-40 MPH. ALSO WHEN FULL THROTTLE DESIRED ENGINE SPEED DOESN'T INCREASE FOR 2-3 SECONDS . . ALSO ON SLOWING DOWN COASTING FOR STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN TRANSMISSION CLUNKS AS IT DOWNSHIFTS INTO EITHER 1ST OR 2ND. . ALL THIS IN NORMAL TRANSMISSION MODE. TOW MODE APPEARS TO BE NO ISSUES. NISSAN DEALER MECHANIC CANNOT DUPLICATE. ON MY DRIVE WITH MECHANIC I HEARD IT CLUNK DURING DRIVE AND MECHANIC DIDNT. AS USUAL NO HELP. I REQUESTED THE TRANSMISSION BE RESET TO RELEARN MY DRIVING TO CHANGE SHIFT PATTERNS AND WAS TOLD THEY DIDNT HAVE THAT CAPABILITY. CUMMINS 5.0 DIESEL WITH AISIN TRANSMISSION

LOUD RATTLE/GRIND/CHATTER FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA THAT IS CLEARLY HEARD FROM INSIDE THE CABIN DURING UP AND DOWN SHIFTS AT RANDOM TIMES. MOST COMMONLY OCCURS WHEN THE ENGINE IS BEING USED AT HIGH RPM UP TO 40 MPH THEN THE ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED ALLOWING THE 4-5 AND 5-6 SHIFT TO OCCUR AT LIGHT LOAD. THE GRIND IS MOST NOTICEABLE ON THE 4-5 UP-SHIFT. THIS HAPPENS IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS, TOWING, OR UNLOADED. SOME FACTS: RATTLES IN ALMOST ANY GEAR. HEARD FROM THE FRONT OF THE TRANNY AREA. HAPPENS WHEN GOING FROM A HIGH RPM SITUATION TO A LOW RPM SITUATION. DOES IT IN BOTH REGULAR AND TOW MODES. SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS HOT. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING (NOT REVVING IN NEUTRAL). HAPPENS BOTH WHEN I DRIVE OR MY SPOUSE DRIVES. SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE THROTTLE IS PARTIAL OR LESS THAN HALF WAY. SOME SHIFTS ARE VERY HARD AND SOME SHIFTS ARE VERY SOFT. THE NOISE COMES AND GOES AND CAN BE VERY LOUD OR VERY QUIET. IT COINCIDES EXACTLY WHEN THE SHIFT OCCURS. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SLIPPING. THE NOISE IS ABNORMAL AS I DROVE OTHER IDENTICAL VEHICLES ON THE DEALER LOT AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ATTACHED IS THE ENTIRE SAGA WITH NISSAN AND AT PRESENT NISSAN HAS DECIDED TO DO NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW 500 MILES.
