I have been had a sporadic misfire problem with my 2008 Nissan Titan since week #2 of ownership.... I'm looking for any advice.... It broke down and stranded my family and I today while towing our camper home from vacation...

I have put together a web page of the whole problem...including a video of the engine shudder it has...

Any help would be great...

My Bad Nissan Titan

Thanks... I have spoken to Nissan USA...and they offered no solutions. What has been extremely frustrating is that every time i have taken it in for the exact same symptoms since the warranty has expired...they want to charge me to even run the diagnostics...and they say the see a misfire. I did not realize until last year that they had stopped documenting it on my paperwork every time I complained. Last month I refused to pay for the rest of my service until they reprinted the paperwork documenting the issue.

When it runs great...I love the truck...and this is my second Nissan (drove a 2002 Frontier for 6 years 80K miles)... but this has been a bad experience.

Thanks for the input... I should know more today once the dealer opens...

They are replacing cat under warranty..that and the exhaust manifold... the service rep (Dorschel Nissan of Rochester) tried to use that as the reason for my symptoms....but I find it hard to believe that was faulty at 600 miles when this whole thing started.

I'm not sure how the whole Lemon Law thing works here in NY....will have to research.

So...the saga continues... Back when I first got the truck...the would tell me that unless the CEL stayed on...they could not do much...but if it did that would give them codes to diagnose... well it started staying on...but that was not enough... so then they would tell me that the truck had to reproduce the symptoms..which it never has for them...until now... but now they say it is not reproducing them long enough for them to figure it out.

...on top of that...the head of service at the dealer said they'd hook me up with a loaner if it was going to be in the shop more than 1 day...well that has come and gone...and he has not returned a call since Tuesday. The service writer has also gone silent.... unbelievable service.....

I did speak to my rep at Nissan USA yesterday and she was supposed to be talking to them...but I did not hear back from her either.

So... it's now been 21 days and my truck is still in the shop...

They can get it to reproduce the problem...but can't figure it out. Last I knew they were moving parts from cylinder to cylinder to rule out plug, injector, etc. vs wiring harness... but I have not had an update in about 5 days...and won't get one unless I bug them.

Nissan USA won't do much.. they will give me a big $750 towards a new Titan.... But the dealer won't give much of a deal even though they claim to want to help me and make no money off of me. They had the nerve to tell me my trade was not worth as much because it has engine problems....what??? ... that's why I've been there to begin with...

It's been a bad bad experience....

RB's Titan... It happens at various speeds.

So...after 28 days in the shop. I got it back today. They ended up replacing the wiring harness....we'll see how that goes. Nissan is supposedly offering some sort of warranty coverage to 100K miles.

When I picked up the truck...they were nice enough to wash it and fill the tank. Got inside it to find it was dirty, they put nearly 600 miles on it, and whoever was driving it left trash in it.... so nice!!!!!
