NHTSA Complaint #11258737 — 2016 NISSAN TITAN

DURING NORMAL DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY AND THE ENGINE GOES INTO LIMP MODE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THERE IS NO ACCELERATION AND YOU TYPICALLY CANNOT GET ABOVE 15 MPH. TODAY WAS THE FOURTH TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER HAS A NEW TURBO ON ORDER BUT IS NOT CONFIDENT THIS WILL CURE THE ISSUE. THE PREVIOUS EPISODE NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BY A DISTRACTED DRIVER WHEN I COULDN'T ACCELERATE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION LEFT TURN WITH PLENTY OF SPACE AND TIME. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS NO RESPONSE TO THE ENGINE AND THERE IS NO PRIOR WARNING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT ILLUMINATE. TODAY THE ENGINE WENT INTO LIMP MODE WHEN ACCELERATION FROM A DEAD STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. THE TRUCK NEVER ACHIEVED MORE THAN 10 MPH AND WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE DIED. LUCKILY I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND IT WAS DOWNHILL SO I COULD COAST THROUGH THE INTERSECTION TO THE SHOULDER. I PLACED THE TRUCK INTO PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT TO MY HOME.
