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
As i was driving on the road at red traffic light, when the light turned green, i started to move, the engine started to make loud noise and the engine shut off. this happened when the vehicle was at 56k miles. later on, found out at dealer that the crank shaft was broken. the engine got replaced under warranty. it is not a guarantee that this does not happen again. there are lots of other same model truck had this happened. 2017 titan xd 5.0 cummins diesel
Transmission shifter can pop out of gear. saw it happen first with going from drive and switching to neutral. recently experienced several times it going from park to reverse. happens while shifting the shifter. after exiting the vehicle the alarm lets you know car is in gear. if your lucky the truck does not roll you over with the open door. has backed into a building and busted out the right tail lights and crushed side of the bed.
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.
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.
