“EMERGENCY CONSUMER PROTECTION COMPLAINT: ILLEGAL COERCION & PUBLIC SAFETY RISK I am filing an emergency complaint against Nissan North America and its authorized dealership. On August 21st, 2026, my husband was nearly killed when our 2023 Nissan Titan suffered a total engine stall at 75 MPH on a major interstate, forcing a semi-truck to violently swerve to avoid a fatal rear-end collision. Despite a documented history of nine (9) warranty repair attempts for same issues starting at 23,145 miles and now at 43,000 and still not resolved (including replacement of the ECM, updating transmission, multiple Mass Air Flow Sensors and throttle body) and over 110 days out of service, Nissan Corporate and the dealership forced us into picking up this unfixed, unsafe dangerous vehicle, even after we stated to them MULTIPLE times we did not feel safe picking up this truck. They threatened to charge us immediate daily storage fees and demanded the instant revocation of our loaner vehicle forcing us to pick up this truck and once again put the safety of our family and others in jeopardy. The vehicle has suffered multiple further failures since the August situation and has…”

Engine

3 reports1 crash
“The contact owned a 2023 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while driving in stop-and-go traffic, the contact allowed a vehicle to make a left-hand turn. When the contact depressed the accelerator pedal, the vehicle accelerated independently and rear-ended the vehicle in front, where it came to a stop. The vehicle the contact rear-ended was pushed into the vehicle in front, and that vehicle was pushed into the vehicle in front of it. No warning lights were illuminated. The driver-side air bag deployed; however, the steering wheel cover popped out, and the air bag did not inflate, falling onto the contact's lap. The knee air bag did not inflate, and the passenger-side air bags did not deploy. The contact suffered minor injuries to the neck, possibly whiplash. The contact had a prior medical condition related to his back. A police report was filed. There were no passengers in the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The insurance company was contacted and deemed the vehicle a total loss. The insurance company referred that contact to the manufacturer. Nissan consumer affairs was made aware of the failure and suggested that the contact tow the…”

“The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for tire repairs and was advised that an alignment was needed. The contact stated that the vehicle was then taken to a dealer where it was determined that the alignment could not be performed because the required bolts were missing. The alignment was not completed, and the vehicle was not repaired. The contact believed that the vehicle was sold with the missing parts. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.”

“I have a 2023 Nissan Titan XD 4x4. Recently I have experienced a major malfunction with the automatic braking system. While driving the vehicle I have experienced several times that the front left wheel is locking up briefly and pulling me sharply to the left. I have almost slid into other vehicles and guardrails during this malfunction. I immediately brought it to my local Nissan dealer,(Coggin Nissan) in Jacksonville Fl. and reported the problem on three occasions. They offered no findings or solutions to correct the problem. They take it for a short test drive and state everything is working properly. I explained this is a random problem and usually occurs when taking right hand curves and has caused me to lose control of the vehicle. Nothing has been done by the dealer to remedy the problem though most online forums point to a wheel speed sensor. I have also relayed that when its raining and this happens the front crash detector symbol illuminates briefly and I've shown them a picture taken from my cell phone. I feel any further driving of this vehicle puts myself, my family and other drivers at risk.”

Forward collision avoidance

3 reports
“Bought my 2023 Nissan Titan Pro-4x from dealership May of 2023. Never been involved in a collision. So there should be no reason it feels as if something is loose on the underside. There have been similar reports of this vibration/shaking such as this one: “Nissan Titan Pro-4X 4WD was bought new from dealership. Have had issues with the truck downshifting hard when slowing down since purchase. The truck lurches forward under 5MPH - 10MPH and feels like you are being rearended by another vehicle. Identical issue to NHTSA complaints 11578467 and 11539769.” I have also had it happen once so far. I have been driving no more than maybe 10MPH and it recognized something in front of the sensor and the truck slammed on the brakes to a stop. Mind you I was in an empty parking lot. On long drives, my forward collision sensor will randomly illuminate for no reason. It was do it in all season but more frequently in the winter. I used to own a 2017 Nissan Titan SV. Never once had an issue. I’m not sure what’s going on with Nissans quality control but this is insane. I would honestly like some sort of remedy before I have no other choice than to trade the truck in..”

“I currently have a 2023 Nissan Titan Pro-4X 4WD that intermittently when slowing to a stop between the speeds of 0-7mph it will, at times, feel as though the transmission is dropping from 3rd gear to 1st gear without cycling into 2nd gear properly creating almost a bumping effect to where it feels like you are almost being bumped from behind. Like being rear-ended at a very slow speed. There is a difference in slowing to a stop and it cycles properly which this truck will do the majority of the time and then when it does this hard skipping of the gear and feeling like it is being bumped. I have taken it to the dealership on numerous occasions and reported the concern and let them know that it feels that on the occasions that it shifts hard into that bump it will move forward a bit and that I do not feel comfortable that it may not be an issue with the brakes as well. The dealership has not been able to replicate it to the extent that we are reporting it because it can be so intermittent, and you would need to drive it a bit see when it happens that they keep telling us that they cannot replicate it and it is fine. They had a Nissan engineer come take a look and…”
