What Nissan quality are you referring to?Who else has been thinking of creative ways to find info?
I have even tried with multiple online insurance quotes to see if I can get some info there, as far as value. But nothing yet.
My dealer has been great and giving me whatever they get. Last week I get an email at 9pm to call them asap. So I did and was told some ordering has opened up and what is my pick.
When I got rid of my 2012 titan I had full intentions of getting an ecodiesel. But we had just had our coldest winter in a long time and we had alot of documented issues with the ecodiesel in ontario. The other thing that interested me was the new F150 with the 2.7. So I went that route. I have grouched on here in a few posts about the F150. To sum it up the 2.7 is my favorite gas engine to date, the rest of the truck I have no faith in. To the point after 8 mths of ownership it's going to be gone. The titan xd has been my first choice but the delays are taking its toll. My plan B if pricing doesn't come in where I want is back to the ecodiesel considering I can pretty much get $15000 off right now.
But a big part of me still being patient and waiting on the xd. I know the Nissan quality and I'm one of those guys who wants something that's a little different and not what everyone else has.
Holy Smokes! I had the F150 as my 2nd choice if I didn't like the Titan XD. I am hoping that this Titan will be a similar situation to what Toyota did when they first came out with the Tundra. From the very first truck manufactured in 2000 until 2007, they really hit it out of the ball park. I just have this feeling that this is what Nissan is shooting for with the XD. I don't want to spend a ton of money on a disposable truck, I'm going for quality.What year was yours?
I do know about the axle issues in the first couple of years. And the rear diff vent mod my dealer did from new.
Mine was flawless. Actually I know a few guys that bought 2012's and 13's when they were being aggressive with pricing and say the same thing as me. But all grouch about economy. There is also a survey company I know up north that gets into pretty remote areas that bought a few titan's for their fleet. Those things go through **** with terrain and employee abuse. So far they have stood up the best compared to other brands. Alot less downtime.
My titan was an sv with a few less features then yours but I do feel your pain as I'm going through alot of those issues with my 2015 f150 with 25000km
Panoramic roof drain tube kinked from factory, one morning cup holders full of water.
Panoramic roof panels rattle so much.
Doors clunk and rattle bumpy road.
They have spent 15 hours trying to align body panels and every door takes two tries to close.
The warmer it gets out the more the dash warps in two area's
110v inverter works speriodic
Inside box gaps when standing inside the box the colder it gets the more you can see the ground, great for winter road salt. Dealer's response was because every truck on the lot is like that it's considered a normal part of production.
Tranny has this down shift every once in a while that you swear it's falling out.
The funny part 3 of 4 Centre wheel caps ford symbol has peeled off.
Some more personal dislikes is least stable truck I have owned for towing. And hands down the most uncomfortable seats I have ever sat in. I drive 3 hrs one way to my property regularly and within one hour I develope this bad leg pain I can't shake rest of the way.
haha what'd you do, google "nissan titan problems" and just compile a list? guess what, thats true of every vehicle ever. they all have issues. Nissan didn't fix the rear diff (also dana quality control screwed them over with the dana rear ends) also nissan refused to fix the exhaust manifolds.What Nissan quality are you referring to?
Slipping transmission, broken shackles, body rusting through the paint, cracked dash, peeling and cracked leather, rattling sun roof, creaking suspension, leaking gas tank, faulty fuel pump, broken door handles, slow window motors, faulty CD player, faulty transfer case, exhaust that fell off, broken fog light mounts, failed DVD player after 3 movies, and horrendous brakes that fade after 3k miles.
But does it ride like a half ton???^^ I was just going to say, why are you on this forum if you dislike Nissan and the quality so much? I think Nissan overall is top notch quality and performance. Yes, just like all the manufacturers they try to get cheap and ends up burning them in the long run. I wish they would just figure that out, but that's the economy we live in. I just got done training on the new Titan XD and Cummins engine. I finally got to drive it and all I can say it was everything I expected it to be. It drives very similar to the 3/4 ton with the tough solid feeling and that big hood in your view. It is overall quite but still gives you that diesel satisfaction. If you guys have any questions let me know, I love it and would love to buy one but it is way over my price range right now regardless of price.
Well it's funny, the complaints of a few. With a bit of preventative maintenance the current Titan will last and last ...

Really? My maintenance is probably better than most. I have my own shop for my hobby and work on cars/motorcycles often.
Which of those items listed were lack of maintenance items?

this x200000I was really impressed with the initial announcement...enough that I waited on buying a truck. I'm pretty tired of waiting to get solid info on the 2016 XD, though.
I have a 2001 2500HD and I have to say it rides like a 3/4 ton. Obviously much nicer than my 2001 but a very solid heavy duty feel. The transmission is an Aisin 6 speed that is used in 2500 and 3500 trucks. I loved the way it shifted and when coming to a stop, the transmission helped with slowing the truck down very nicely. The brake system uses the same brake assist as the NV and stops like it could slow down anything its towing without trailer brakes. I like how the trailer brake was built into the vehicle giving it a more appealing look. I got to say, Cummins spends an abundance of time research and developing there engines and it shows with this easy to work on V8 5.0. If it ever needed service which I cant see happening, it is very easy to work on and is engineered for service, I wish Nissan would think more like thatBut does it ride like a half ton???
whens training start for the gasser non XD's????
my current titan is over 100k and still on the original radiator, rear end, and manifolds (i have an exhaust leak, so one is likely cracked) lol its a rare one.
I would consider a slipping transmission a good possibility on lack of maintenance, depending on when you did your first fluid exchange and if you used Matic S. As far as the other complaints, it sounds like a hard worked work truck. Leather seats ripped? I have not seen that yet and I am sure it cant be worse than a GM lol. Noisy suspension? probably have loose ball joints and there is a certain way to check those. Rattly sunroof? who cares, you should be able to fix that. Not saying that your'e like the rest, but from my experience it is the guy that does his own maintenance that has the one of the worst trucks that comes through my shop. Not trying to beat up on this topic, but I think if you wait another month and see what happens with this new Titan you may be impressed, good things come to those who wait :smile2:Well it's funny, the complaints of a few.

The problems are not persistent, but happened. Under warranty, I take it in. Had the roof rattle off of the lot, brought it back 5 times, never fixed it. I did later. Trans was intermittent, yes on Matic S. Noisy suspension is with new ball joints/control arms (it's squeaky, not popping or clunking). I happens in the leafs when unloaded around a turn. Lubricating the leaf springs will probably make it go away...but yet another thing. The seats really surprised me...and I conditioned them every now and then.
I'm sure your right on what you see at your shop. I restore cars as a Hobby...not a pro, but I'm pretty anal. I do run my vehicles hard, but maintain them well. GM is the absolute worst (and I'm a chevy guy). The F150 was run harder and held up better. And true the salt air surely added to some of the corrosion issues on worn parts.
But for a 40k "luxury" truck. It fell apart rapidly after about year 6 or 7. I'm just comparing it to 2 GMs and Ford, I've used. I hoped Nissan would have lasted better, longer.
