Nope. Firmware was up to date by Nikon before i received the camera.
No bracketing either.

Just looking at the first 3 images, as you were cycling from multi-seqment, to center-weighted, to spot metering. When you hit spot metering, and exposure locked somewhere on or near the black truck, it did just what auto-exposure is supposed to do... it tried to make the black truck a medium gray.
If you use spot metering and lock exposure on a white door, it will try to make it medium gray also. I'm very surprised you don't have similar results with your other cameras. Stick with matrix metering, or compensate based on the metered target area. And, even matrix metering may not always render an image you want without compensation.

Press this button and tell what you see in the control panel.

In each set of three, each image was using different metering. Usually, in order...pattern then center/weighted/ave...., then spot. The over exposed ones seem to be on spot, with the biggest contrast between garage door (white) and truck (black).
The house seems to be more consistent even though the metering mode was different on each one (less lighting contrast).
I am not familiar with the 750, but it seems you are somehow changing the metering mode between shots.
I would bet my last dollar that it's not the camera at fault.

I agree with what Rick36203 said. I downloaded and looked at the data for the 3 pictures. You used 3 different methods of metering with no other compensation. When you do that with out making any adjustments you will get different results and what those 3 images show are about what I would expect the results to be. I think your camera is perfectly OK.
You might want to read up on what conditions the different metering methods are designed to be used under.

Have you considered its not the camera but you!
A D750 is a complex machine and you have to learn to properly use it.

He has a D800, too.
