Description of the problem | Immediate recall needed on all nissan titans with limp mode for def expiration. Deadly consequences possible and not avoidable. I have recently discovered that the titan is a deadly vehicle in several ways. Most recently i discovered the fact that def fluid ages to the point of causing the vehicle to go into a limp mode of 5mph with no disabling the limp mode. Unsuspecting diesel owners have no way of knowing if the def they purchased has expired or the def in their tanks has gone bad. If the vehicle is in an area that has drastic climates such as sub zero or extremely hot, driver and occupants of vehicle may die of exposure. There is no warning for the def failure for impending failure of the emission system as i have just experienced. I believe that not making nissan and others to not recall this dangerous built in child killer would be a tragic mistake by the safety commissions. |
