Well 3 days ago, I picked up my new Titan, A silver king cab LE 4x4, with Tow, and splashguards. Dealer threw in free sliding bed extender, and bed divider because the dealer he traded with wouldn't take them off. I drove to the Chicago area from Wisconsin, and was very happy with the dealer. So if anyone needs advice on a dealer in the Chicago area, let me know. Truck is great, and I love it. Not being a previous truck owner, all I got to say is, it is BIG!!
Well on to my problem: As I was driving in 2wd over ther first 2 days I would notice the green 4LO light flash on, and the Icon with all the wheels flash off. This would happen real sporadically, with no change in the drive. I then tried stopping, and putting it into 4LO, an drove a small distance. I then switched back to 2wd, and it seemed to go away for a while. The next day it started to do it again (4LO flashing while driving freeway speeds in 2wd). So again I stopped, in park, switched to 4LO drove a small distance, then parked and switched back to 2wd.
Well it wouldn't come out of 4LO. the knob was turned to 2wd, but the vehicle stayed in 4LO. Kept stopping and trying to switch between modes. Nothing the 4LO light would flash, and I was stuck in 4LO. Then red ATP light came on solid. I was able to finaaly get it to switch into 4Hi, then it went back to 2wd. 4LO light would still flash on then off very intermitently on the drive home.
I called the dealer down in Chicago, and we decided it would be easier for me to take it to a local dealer. He was very helpful though, and stated, that if I had any problems, to call him. So yesterday I took it in. I was not to encouraged, when the dealer stated "This is the first Titan we have worked on so please be patient with us"
I called at the end off the day, of course they could not reproduce the problem. They called Nissan, who said they believe it is possibly a "sensor in the transmission". Nissan supposedly stated the will be sending a TSB to all dealers about this sensor. They would have to order this part, with no time frame. They said it was ok to drive my truck in the meantime.
I am a little skeptical, as wheter this is truly the problem. Not knowing a great deal, it seems to me some sort of electrical problem with communcation with the transfer case, not the transmission, unless the sensors somehow communicate with each other. If not I will be at the dealers everyday. :crying:
I will keep you updated. If anyone hears anything, or has similar problem, let me know. No regrets, YET.
