My Titan had no real indicators or trouble codes but failed into limp mode and began to smoke and caught on fire! Nissan refused to investigate as they claimed the 2021 was unaffected but shares the same manufacturer plant and engine harness from the 2020.

My vehicle when slowing to a stop down shifts a bit harshly then upshifts suddenly making a loud click and lurches forward abruptly. This has gotten worse with time. I have 8,156 miles as I write this. The 2 recalls were complied with Friday 12/02/2022 at Orr Nissan Bossier City, La. I initially ca...
The front door windows have both automatic down and automatic up. It has been my experience in the past when vehicles have the automatic up feature, they have a pressure/resistance sensor which stops the window from going any further and therefore not getting anything caught up in the window. These ...

Transmission issue. The transmission is sluggish when trying to accelerate when at a complete stop. It's almost like it doesn't downshift properly after coming to a complete stop. I have had several instances when I am trying to clear an intersection and have to apply more acceleration than normal t...
Downshifting during braking causes sudden and unpredictable forward jumping. During normal braking, the truck will jump two to three feet forward without warning or any way to prevent it.
I have been dealing with a transmission issue with a 2021 New Nissan Titan since Jul 26 with no resolution. I brought my Nissan Titan HD in for service at Bayou Nissan on July 26 for a Transmission Issue. The truck jerks when downshifting, the jerk can throw you forward with a hard downshift when c...
The vehicle will not move between lower level gears and will not accelerate when it is stuck. The vehicle will rev up very high but not switch gears even if you dig all the way in on the gas pedal. In fact, if you do that the engine makes a chirping noise. This defect prevented me from accelerating ...

Truck lags when taking off and has a severe downshift from 2nd to first gear. This causes the truck to jump forward when braking.
The transmission would jerk and clunky when coming to a stop and vibrate, shifting hard upon acceleration. Dealership refuses to acknowledge the problem.
Severe lag/hesitation on acceleration, hard shift lime being hit at around 10 mph and same issue when slowing down as it downshifts. Has happened intermittently for the last 2 months.
Transmission downshifts hard from 2nd, to 1st, gear. When this happens, the truck jerks forward, and I have to now keep a big distance between me and the cars ahead of me.
The gears shift rough causing the vehicle to jerk or down shifting early causing a stall when imcreasing accelaration. It is dangerous when you cant accelarate at times to avoid cars or merging on to the highway. I took it in and Nissan said this was fine and everything seemed normal.
Transmission lags, and clunks. Will downshift unexpectedly upon deceleration causing the truck to lurch forward. Acceleration lags because vehicle does not shift correctly.This could put myself and others at risk. My truck only has 7,000 miles on it but the truck has done this since I got it brand n...

Transmission issue: *Taking off from a complete stop at a traffic light or stop sign the truck is sluggish unless I give it about 1/4 throttle then it takes off slow it feels like its not in 1st gear. This is dangerous if trying to avoid incoming traffic while turning on a busy intersection. *Ther...
The transmission lags, slips gears, shift’s harshly. When slowing down shifting from second to first gear around 15th, there is a very noticeable clunk in the transmission.
My 2021 Pro4x Titan with 6,400 miles has on numerous occasions not shifted up and out of 1st gear despite being in typical Drive, automatic transmission. I have owned the truck for just over 1 year and I have noticed this 10+ times when moving at slower speeds. I generally shift into Neutral and ent...
Purchased vehi le with 2000 miles on it. Vehicle shifts very rough. When the transmission downshifts to stop it will bump or lerch forward. If you are not expecting it the truck will go forward. There is a lot of lag while accelerating. Dealer looked over vehicle and worked with Nissan to check seve...
I have a 2021 that is prone to harsh downshifts and jerking just before coming to a complete stop. I have taken the truck to the dealership and they informed me that their technician could not find anything wrong. The problem still continue to happen
2021 Nissan Titan is having major transmission problems jerking when down shifting. This has become a serous issue when try to maintain speed. I have taking the vehicle to the dealership to which I am told, "Nissan is fully aware of the issue and is working on a fix". This has been on going for c...
The truck is prone to harsh transmission shifting. It is abrupt and harsh enough when coming to a stop to create a safety issue. If one is not hard on the brakes at the time, the truck will lurch forward with the last downshifts, with the potential to strike pedestrians or the car in front. My Tita...
The emergency braking driver assist is panic braking going over railroad tracks. It is "seeing" the railroad tracks as a vehicle and emergency braking with no cars around. The problem is even when slowing to a crawl under 5mph it slams on the brakes. Any car following behind may hit the car as ther...

My 2021 Titan, which I bought new in June of 2021 had a sidewall crack while driving. I did read, when I googled Continental/General tires that there has been a recall on Titan and Altima tires due to sidewall blowouts and cracks. The dealership said they never received anything about tires, howeve...
The infotainment screen has a very bad glare to it. When backing up and the sun hits it you cant even see the display. While driving and the sun hits the screen the glare is so bad that you cant see anything on the display. My side windows are tinted and that doesn't help. I took it to the dealershi...
The digital readout for miles to empty never resets after a fill up and the fuel gauge takes an excessive amount of time to show full after a fill up. Not trusting what the fuel gauge says I have in the tank. Sound like the sending unit or the float is sticking but not accurate.
Truck shows a message when started and while driving/running. (Key System Error) Also the warning light icon stays lite but sometimes it does go off, other times not
