| Description of the problem | My 2017 nissan titan xd started maing this strange odor in the cabin that occurs when i drive over 30 minutes on the highway. It is a sweet burning chemical smell. When i pull over, you can smell it outside the vehicle. I have 80,000 miles on it and it started at around 60000 miles. I took it in for service and they replaced the cabin filter. I still smell it though. Over the last year of driving, i notice i get very bad headaches and lately my lungs feel weak. I have been coughing for nearly a month and do not have a fever. I also feel dizzy when i drive. I stopped driving the vehicle now for reasons beyond just this. I called nissan and they claim it is unheard of. I tried to get a mechanic in a rush, but apparently they do not have anymore diesel mechanics. To make matters worse, i cant get to work now, nissan refuses to offer me a loaner car in the meantime while i wait for repair. Reading forums online, i see this is an issue with this same year and model . I am now stuck with a truck that is toxic to drive and am not being helped at all by the manufacturer. When i do call them and tell them my vin#, they hesitate to respond to my claims and hang up. They finally took a claim after i told them i might contact an attorney. When i ask why the vehicle was discontinued last year, their response is that it was for financial reasons. I feel like this truck is a complete death trap and making me sick, they ignore the fact it is causing harm and i need assistance please. |
