Our 2016 nissan titan xd was idling on a level carport with the parking brake engaged. No one was in the cab of the truck. I was unloading tools from the back of the truck. After about 5-7 minutes, while I was standing in the bed of the truck, the engine revved and the truck began to roll very slowly backwards. It rolled over a small concrete bump (intended to prevent cars from rolling off the carport), down about a 6 inch step down, across another 10 feet or so of concrete and into the brick wall at the back of…
I have taking my truck to the dealer so many times to be told the def system gauge can not be fixed. All the trucks have this issue. I applied for the lemon law and was refused. Now the latest was the coolant was causing the truck to loose power because as I was told by the dealer it's normal for it to evaporate a half a gallon in 18 months. Seems a little strange to me. In the meantime I still have to pack around def because I never know how much I have. The truck has many issues.
