Please help me, I am getting alot of hesitation when i give it the gas. I am tired of dealing with the dealer. All they say is that its fine thats normal. My other two trucks sure dont do it. This is my first nissan and I just dont understand why this would be normal. Please someone help. Please let me know if this can be corrected and how.

Can't wait for a reprogrammer to come out for the Titan! Unfortunately, it's normal. If you floor the pedal from a complete stop, the Titan won't start pulling until around 2500 rpm. Try 1/2 to 3/4 throttle and then floor it. Try tapping the throttle, your head should snap into the headrest as the Titan has a heavy tip-in, but if you floor it, nothing. Damn engineers trying to make the world safe.
Do you have a floor shifter or Column. I notice with my Colmun shifter, if you do not click into drive (D), even thought it shows you are in (D) you actually are still in neutral.
I am pretty sure that the Titans are throttle-by-wire, and for that matter, respond like any computer controlled mechanism. Kind of like in a fly-by-wire aircraft, the computer senses the amount of input the pilot (driver) is requesting, but will only give the amount that it feels is safe for the system. Hence, when you floor it the ECM basically says "yeah right" and only gives you the maximum amount it feels is safe for the engine.

Yes, the Titan has the fly-by-wire setup, but let me tell you, give it some time and the hesitation will be gone. I had the same complaints, now at over 5000 miles there is NO hesitation at all.

I am approaching 4000 miles, and I have noticed the hesitation has decreased.
Kind of like this 'throttle-by-wire' approach. Pretty high tech...

Do you have VDC, if so turn it off, see if its better. VDC is pretty intrusive espcially when you nail it from a stop, if your making a right turn and nail it to get out into traffic it won't move, sits there for a precious second then goes. With it off however I find myself doing way to many uninteded burnouts. It would be nice to have the VDC switch on the steering wheel as I find myself frequently turning it off and on.

The lag when heavy throttle is applied is native to the drive by wire throttle set-up. I actually experienced a different kind of hesitation while towing. I had a 500lb quad in the bed and I was pulling a 10 foot utility trailer with a 400lb quad and a Dirt bike on it. Couldn't have been more than 3,000lbs total. While lightly accelerating up a Frwy on-ramp I got a pulsating sensation which promptly went away if I let off the gas or got on it a little more. Anyone had this problem??? I thought maybe it was detonation and the computer compensating or something??? I run Unocal 76 Unleaded '87 Octane religiously. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Was it hot out? Maybe your problem was related to heat soak.

Hesitation During Acceleration
Over time the hesitation should improve once it "learns" your driving habits.
