This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Titan. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V671000 (Power Train) and 22V457000 (Power Train) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, for a routine recall repair where it was diagnosed that the transfer case needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The mechanic informed the contact the repair would be at her expense. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
When driving under normal road conditions and slowing down to stop at a light or stop sign the transmission shifts down abruptly to 1st gear and lunges forward like you have been hit in the rear end. Been doing this since new and dealer cannot diagnose or repair the issue. Seems common on these new Titans. Just had to adjust my driving habit to keep on the brakes as slowing down to a stop.
Please also reference NTB21-028, NTB21-073. The failed system appears to be the engine/transmission power control. My safety and passenger safety was at risk. A dealer did inspect in May of 2021 and was not able to duplicate and did not perform any corrective action. The problem is twofold. First the vehicle can fail to accelerate during a rolling stop (i.e. entrance into a traffic circle) and because there is no power can roll slowly into oncoming traffic. Second, the vehicle can shift erratically and is slow to shift into the next gear (high RPM before shifting) and can sometimes flair during shifting. I am now aware that Nissan is and has been aware of this issue however this issue is not currently identified as a recall. Bottom line, I think the hesitation/delayed acceleration is a safety issue and wanted to be sure the NHTSA is informed. Thank you
The problem I am writing about concerns this vehicle and recall #PC773 EGI HARNESS. Reference must also be made to Nissan #NTB20-89 dated December 8, 2020. I purchased this vehicle from Bates Nissan (5501 East Central Texas Expressway, Killeen TX 76543, 254-781-3837) on February 18, 2021 used with 5448 miles. I was told that it had been owned by an employee at the dealership. It is my understanding, as described in NTB20-89, that a Nissan initiated "stop sale" was put into effect in December of 2020. However, Bates Nissan failed to complete this recall prior to selling it to me and did not inform me that there was an open recall on this vehicle. On July 22, 2022 I had a Nissan dealer (LeBrun Nissan, 396 Grant Ave, Auburn NY 13021, 315-253-7700) attempt to perform this recall. The technician did not find any evidence of visible damage on or near the transmission power wires OEM splice, however step 25's "continuity test" of the transmission power wire failed. I am a highly skilled engineer and have reviewed NTB20-89, and find that the transmission power wire continuity test to battery ground is flawed for the following reasons. 1) The process does not isolate (disconnect all ends) the transmission power wire. Therefore, it quite likely that some DVOM's will show continuity to battery ground causing a false positive. 2) Since the recall is to determine if this wires insulation has failed, a continuity test is not appropriate since it cannot measure the integrity of the wire insulation. Therefore, this test could also test as a false negative and allow vehicles to return to service with insulation that is still compromised/weak. Instead, an insulation dielectric test should be performed on this wire. Issue #2 is concerning, since vehicle safety may be at risk and is the primary reason I am informing NHTSA. My hope is that NHTSA has technical people that can review NTB20-89 and discuss with Nissan. I have no confidence that Nissan can fix this issue.
I was sitting at a light waiting to turn left. The engine started to idle at almost 2000 toms. I went to accelerate to turn left and I had complete loss of power in the intersection. The engine would not go above idle speed of about 1100 RPM. The check engine light came on. I had to pull over. The code reader says the idle air controller has a fault. This is the second time this has happened but the first time it happened.in a dangerous intersection.
