All Forward Collision Avoidance Complaints (36)
“System fault” see owners manual. Forward emergency brake assist not working , reverse emergency brake assist not working. As well as the traction control was not working. Forward/Reverse Safety is a concern because if a vehicle cuts me off or person jumps in front or walks behind of my vehicle it will cause accident. The dealership confirmed the problem. As well as many people state they have had the same problem with same vehicle. Yes there were warning lights etc. this is not the first time this has happened atleast 20 times. I uploaded a picture of the event not the prior ones. I also found a post online about it.

CRUISE CONTROL SURGING VEHICLE BEYOND INITIAL SET LIMIT. I recently purchased my 2022 Nissan frontier 4x4 crewcab from a Texas dealership. After driving it for a week or so, I noticed that while the "Cruise Control" is engaged, any sort of incline ahead of the vehicle will cause the transmission to down shift and Rev up the engine to 5k+ rpms which causes the vehicle to Surge and speed up way above the set speed (ie: cruise set to 45mph, the consequence is the vehicle will surge up to 60mph at times and then let the vehicle slow back down to the 45mph speed set in the original setting.) I found that very unsafe and that my nissan frontier is not the only one that experiences this behavior. The internet has had a few reports/complaints on this very issue. According to some of these owners, there's a software update to address this issues. However, some dealerships will charge for this software update if your vehicle has gone past the 36k warranty date to the sum of $600 plus out of pocket. Meanwhile without that software update, the vehicle will surge unnecessarily and dangerously above the intended speed set initially. Respectfully, 2022 Nissan frontier 4x4 crewcab
Driving down the highway my abs and traction control lit up then it said front collision sensor malfunction and system fault.

my truck has been warning malfunction on cluster cause can't let me pedal push to go and can't let me on control cruise over 100 times. I went to Nissan dealership to check my truck. thy said need new engine. I felt they scammed me nine still fine and drive good. I told them to disgontic analysis my truck. still said ned replace new engine. 89,000 miles short time engine. when malfunction warning light will stop me go pedal or control cruise. I hav to turn off engine 10 mins then start to go working good until 1 hr again malfunction warning on cluster to prevent me go control cruise and pedal.
While driving multiple lights go off on the dash including ABS, traction control, and collision warning. The dash has a message that states system fault see owners manual. If you turn the truck off the system will reset and clear the faults. This does not stop the truck from faulting again in the future.
Climbing a hill the cruise control goes crazy and the RPMs suddenly exceed 5000+. Scared the hell out of me and could certainly be dangerous especially on rainy roads. Many owners are reporting this issue on the Nissan Frontier Owners forum - example here: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
When using adaptive cruise and there is a slight hill and it loses around 1-3 mph it will change 2-4 gears and get as high as 6500rpm just to make up those lost mph. On one occasion I hit a small patch of gravel on a repaired spot on the highway and temporarily lost control of my truck. This is a major safety issue.
The forward collision warning sensor will not reset after activation due to the bumper having imperfections interfering with operation of the sensor. There is no visible damage to the sensor itself.

1. Case #[XXX] filed with Nissan. The vehicle 'ADAS' is unreliable and a safety hazard. Warning indicators illuminate for no apparent reason. Sometimes for a brief period, and sometimes the indicators remain illuminated until the vehicle is turned off. Standard and Adaptive cruise controls will not function. When standard and adaptive cruise control is used the shifting in the vehicle is atrocious. The unit will downshift and the engine RPM displays 5000. Up shifting continues with 4000, 3000, 2000, and finally 1850 RPM respectively and the set cruise speed is obtained. 2. Integrity of the 'ADAS', 'Standard cruise', and 'Adaptive cruise' are unreliable. As an operator the actions of the unit are in consistent and endanger the operator. 3. Two dealers have addressed the 'ADAS' issue. One installed a fix. The second further serviced the unit. Uftring Nissan Service Invoice '[XXX]'. 4. No manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others have inspected the vehicle. 5. Warning lamps, messages, and other symptoms have been present since delivery.

When cruise control is active vehicle ramps to 6000 rpm to gain 1-2 mph going up slight inclines and even straight away. This also occurs when going around another vehicle while cruise control is active. This is a major safety issue as this could cause loss of control of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and was inspected by a mechanic. The mechanic stated there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. I was told this on 2 occasions when bringing this to the dealerships attention. This has been happening each and every time cruise control is active.
UNKNOWN. HAD THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR FOR SUDDEN "SYSTEM FAULT" warning along with check engine, collision avaoidance and braking disabled, TCS OFF, ABS, and several other lights. I have been told the dealer could not find the problem, which is odd because nissan connected services logs data from my truck and emails me when there is a fault, like abs system failure see dealer, I have had the truck to the dealer no less than 4 times when it was actually check and a few other they refused to even look at it. The last visit i had the warning lights all come on and i took it to another dealer and demanded they scan it with out shutting it off which would cause the system to reset and then they could find the fault again. This is frankly dangerous I have had the system fail in low traction / high wind areas where it was dangerous to be drving like that.

Driving up a mountain road to a ski resort, my ABS, Traction Control, Forward Collision warning, and rear collision warning lights all turned on at the same time. My ABS and traction control systems turned off, as evidenced by increased sliding around and no ABS present when attempting to stop. I took the vehicle in for an oil change, recall repair, and asked the service managers to look at the safety systems. They informed me that they needed to "order parts" to rectify the issue and they did not have an estimated delivery date for the parts. A week later, I called the service department and was told they needed to order a "rear axle" and that it was backordered with no estimated delivery date. I have filed a complaint with Nissan Consumer affairs.
While driving I heard a couple beeps and the display said "System Failure". Then all the warning lights (ABS, Forward Collision, andRear Collision) were on. This will be the third time it has happened. The dealer looked into it and determined it might be the condition when driving like rain or fogg or now, but at the time it happened, it was a clear day. No fix or solution was done to the truck.

Dealer preformed NTB22-084 due to ABS lights. Since this TSB was preformed the ICC fails to brake the vehicle when it is approaching another car. Current stored DTC is C1A13-72. When the Frontier needs to brake automatically to maintain distance from the car ahead, the dash gets the following warning messages. Rear Automatic Braking System Fault see owners manual, Automatic Emergency Braking System Fault see owners manual, Cruise Control Malfunction. During this fault the following systems are disabled: Vehicle to vehicle distance control Conventional Cruise Control Automatic Emergency Braking Intelligent Forward Collision Warning Rear Automatic Braking This creates an unsafe driving condition which may lead to a collision.
8/21/2022 While driving on IH 30 eastbound during a heavy rain storm the Adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning system, anti-lock brakes and traction control light came on. The loss of the anti-lock brakes and traction control systems make driving this Nissan truck hazardous as braking distance is now increased during in-climate weather and traction control loss on a truck which is already light in the rear unsafe as any accumulation of water on the roadway will decrease traction increasing likelihood of a spin out of this truck more likely to occur. Adaptive cruise control and lane departure systems may be optical and heavy rains may render them inoperable. This shouldn't effect the anti-lock brakes and traction control systems for this truck. When I Google the symptoms others have posted that this is a common occurence for the 2022 Nissan Frontier SV model.

I am unsure which components, but have had more than 1 issue with this vehicle. First, was the scariest. Iwas backing out of driveway onto the roadway, and the back up alarm went of and brakes locked up as the onward traffic was coming towards me. I was barely able to move in time. There was no cars or pedestrians near the back of truck to even set it off. Still scared to back it up for fear of not being lucky enough the next time it happens. Computer system issue?? While driving, seatbelt alarm goes off 60% of time while I am wearing mine and only one in vehicle. I tried getting video of this issue since it does not happen consistently. The other issue, while driving, all the lights on dash came on and it flashed 2 different messages about the system failure. This truck is 3 months old and I am scared to drive it!! Just want to see if there have been any other people with similar experience in their Nissan.
On September 16, 2022 My 2022 Nissan Frontier equiped with 997.00 dollar optional rear automatic braking parking assist failed to work. I was backing out of Somerset, KY shopping center position when a adult woman pushing shopping cart passed by behind, I observed her in mirror and stopped before impact. My truck issued no beep or auto braking as vehicle was supposed to do. In the past 6000 miles driven I have observed the failure of AEB/beeping when backing close to tree or other car, and other times it will beep and auto brake when your backing up to a concrete parking curb that is just 5 inch tall designed to put your tire against. I paid extra for this backing assist due wife and I are near 70 yrs old and suffer from stiff necks. I will take in for service and mention this failure. I would warn others this option is waste of money as I don't trust it, I look around and check mirrors as I back.
Went on vacation 9-11-22, at the cabin neighbor call said the truck had rolled back into garage causing hood damage, received no notice at transmission recall, then it happen9-13-22 at place of employment lucky no one was injured. Transmission all of sudden start hunting for gear having hard time at highway speeds want to shift down 7th gear, AEB LOCK THE BRAKES UP WHEN NOTHING was in front of around the vehicle fortunately night time vehicle unsafe dealer has no parts to fix it, lemon vehicle
Vehicle has repeatedly automatically applied the brakes when using cruise control at highway speeds. It happens when going under an underpass that is casting a strong shadow. First time it happened I reported it to Nissan USA. They told me to take it to the dealership. I did and they found nothing wrong. Next time it happened they said they'd have a regional consumer affairs person call me. They did, but in so many words they told me "tough."

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH, the Forward Collision Avoidance system suddenly activated causing the vehicle to abruptly stop although no other vehicles or objects were nearby. Also, while operating the vehicle the collision avoidance system warning message and display continued to erroneously appear on the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who cleared the failure codes but was unable to determine the cause of the failure. Also, the contact indicated that the door chimes would not always alarm when needed and the front driver’s side and passenger’s side door latches would malfunction and the doors could not be immediately opened from inside the cabin of the vehicle. In addition, the battery randomly lost power and the vehicle could not be restarted. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 1,000.
Mileage: 1,000
The forward collision warning system has engaged multiple times for no reason. The occurrences have each happened during low light accompanied by a light fog at 35-40 MPH causing the vehicle to slow.
June 24, 2022 driving the vehicle at average speed 52-54 in highways when i pressed the brake it didnt respond, the automatic emergency braking did not activate or stop the vehicle. The air bag's also didn't were deployed, or engaged. The vehicle stop with the back section of the close vehicle in front. Thanks GOD, NOBODY WAS HURT PHYSICALLY.
The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that the vehicle was displaying messages that the cruise control had failed, along with a system failure. The vehicle also showed a system fault error with the traction control and Forward Collision Avoidance warning lights illuminated. The failure occurred at various speeds. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who was able to obtain a code from the vehicle regarding the failures; however, the contact was not made aware of the exact error or cause. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 3,200.
Mileage: 3,200
While driving on an open stretch of highway at around 70mph, the AEB system engaged. This caused a hazard as my vehicle rapidly decelerated on a highway when there was no obstacle in the road. The vehicle has not been brought in for service yet
1. Drivers power seat back changes position, seemingly by itself overnight. Dealer says it's a known "Engineering Issue." Service personnel said a fix is coming but not sure when. Some people think that those affected are accidentally hitting the power seat switches but I have doubts about that. It's an ongoing problem, on and off, since purchasing vehicle 11-9-21. 2. Cruise control is not smooth at all. The truck may lose two mph then the engine may shift down a bunch of gears and the engine needlessly races too much in getting back to speed. It's the worse cruise control I've ever experienced in my life. I reported this to the dealer and they noted it. Nothing was done to correct the problem which has been ongoing since purchasing vehicle 11-9-21.
On 2 recent occasions the truck's warning lights flashed on the dash and the vehicle applied the brakes for no apparent reason. The first occurance the dealer in Fairfield, Ohio, guessed there may have been debris blocking the camera eye. On the second occurance the dealer in Springdale, Ohio, could find no recalls or reason for the malfunction. Our concern is this malfunction will happen when the vehicle is going 70 MPH on an interstate.
I bought my 2022 Nissan Frontier Pro-X on 09/12/2021. Since day 1 it had something loose under the hood and was making cracking sounds. Had to bring it in and they tightened something and then had to do a full re-alignment. And before I even hit 1k miles my aerial / backup camera stop working and I’m now waiting on a whole new camera control assembly unit that is on back order and they claim could take months. Also my AEB sensor is not working and after doing research I see a lot of people have had issues with that too and the vehicles making unexpected AEB lock engagement in the middle of driving on the highway. In addition I’ve also had a 4th issue, the steering seems very off balance and vehicle sways too easily. I feel like this truck has had too many issues for being brand new and not only has been very inconvenient but I also feel it is a safety hazard at this point.
