Description of the problem | I have had my 2016 nissan titan xd platinum reserve diesel for 1 month and have driven it about 450 miles. On 3 separate occasions when accelerating from a stop sign i have gotten a dead pedal. While accelerating reasonably (not mashing the accelerator) from a stop sign to cross an intersection the truck would roll forward about 6-8 feet then nothing (no acceleration, no rpm rev, just dead) for 4-6 seconds. Then with the pedal still about 1/2 way down the truck would respond and take off like a rocket. This is a huge safety issue as a driver should expect the vehicle to accelerate when pressing the accelerator. This caused one very narrow near miss by an oncoming vehicle as i sat dead in the water in the middle of an intersection for 5 seconds. The other 2 occasions there were thankfully no oncoming vehicles. I now have to make sure there is no other vehicle in sight to feel safe in crossing an intersection or pulling out into traffic. This issue needs to be resolved before someone is kill, if that has not already happened. The dealership has no idea what the issue is. |
