While towing 8,000 lbs, the engine made a horrible knocking sound and then stopped, causing me to lose power and the ability to adequately control my load, placing the traveling public and myself at a grave risk of harm.

Faulty Turbo Actuator Vehicle would stall stall without check engine light in traffic. I could Cycle the key and vehicle would run again no check engine light. It did this at least 4-5 times in traffic and on freeways. Nissan also is not providing support as actuator was on back order for over 6 months. Vehicle stall I f with no warning and cycling key to restart. I replaced it and once had it repaired and vehicle still runs poorly.

Engine loses power, slows down to a creeping 5-10 mph during peak hour traffic or turns-off completely. Instrument panel reads exhaust filter overload/reduced speed. Afterward, vehicle will not start at times or will start but resumes 5-10 mph speed of travel. Had manual reset performed; only 44 miles later to have same engine trouble beset the vehicle again.

Once while driving, the vehicle shut of with out notice. There is some hesitation occasionally while driving and has also stopped running while sitting still. Took it to a Nissan dealer and paid to have a diagnostics test and they said nothing could be found. I don't know if it's electrical or fuel components. No engine light comes on the instrument panel.

Factory headlights have a ballast that controls low beams and day time running lights that is retaining water and causing headlights to either stay on or not work at all. I have had a Nissan dealer look at it and they don't want to do anything about it as we use the truck at night and day and only have high beams. It all started after we bought the truck and washed it the headlights would flicker on and off and the driver side low beam stayed on for 17 hours. Replaced the ballast with a used one and it worked but any time it rained or washed the truck it would stop working and now it is completely out and today 5/26/20 had to replace both battery's due to the headlights be grounded out and drawing power. Replaced both battery's and took the truck down the street to the corner store and came back home and the passenger headlight almost caught fire and filled with condensation from the ballast holding water and had to disconnect the battery's to stop it from pulling power. I have a screen shot from the dealer saying the truck has a 5 year/100K mile basic warranty but Nissan is telling me it only has a 3 year/36K mike warranty and will not cover it as the headlight assembly's are $1200 each plus installation. I have already got a ticket for the lf headlight being out and a ticket for driving with high beams on. Constantly have a error message on my dash and only have fog lights or high beams.

On 05-01-2020 I was driving back home on I-59 North and I lost the power steering, alternator and A/C. I continue driving because I still have mechanical steering control I get home and I noted the serpentine belt and the belt tensiometer was broken, I ordered and changed after repaired I was driving to work on 05-07-2020 and I notice the car is not working good, I check and 1 of the bolts from the steering pump adapter was broken, I take to the dealer and after a week and be talking with Nissan case number 40163453, with the car inside of the warranty they say the bolt is a hardware and is not cover by the warranty, also the dealer say is going to be expensive repair because they have to remove the radiator, I choose to do the repair by myself, I'm an aircraft inspector with 39 years' experience repairing airplanes. I fix in the best way I know, but this situation can cause a accident see attach pictures, also the adapter pump holes are little big of the diameter of the bolts with the vibration of the engine (diesel) can cause this bolts to be loose.

Coming off a highway at around 50 mph the yellow check engine light came on and the engine started making a "popping" sound and jerking as if misfiring. Connected a code reader to truck and 5 issues were found. Engine codes P0544, P244D, P242D & P242C were listed stating "exhaust gas temp sensor" and "exhaust temp high for dpf" along with code P0204 "number 4 fuel injector circuit open". had vehicle towed to dealership and the diesel mechanic stated the "graved connector F131 on cylinder #4 was at fault and that the connector "spread terminals were causing poor contact with injector". stated the engine control harness (wiring harness), needed replacing. Vehicle had only ~62500 miles on it at the time.

I'm having fed back through the speakers periodically. 2or3 times a month. With or without radio on. The driver (me ) move my left foot around this causes fed back/ static sound come over to radio. I've turned it in to Nissan and they claim nothing is wrong. They've claimed to remove the seat to check for wires. Bolts were not touched?? also claimed no wires under floor board.

Driving from Nevada to los angeles ca on highway 395. Three times while at speed my vehicle turned off for three to five seconds. I lost power steering, rear tires felt like they locked up. Car would then power back on and I would regain power steering and continue down the road. This occurred three times in 40 miles today. This vehicle has been back to the dealer I bought it from where they could find nothing wrong with it.
