Power train

9 reports
“The automatic transmission in my 2024 Nissan Titan PRO-4X intermittently malfunctions when slowing to a stop. As the vehicle decelerates to about 1–2 mph, there is a distinct “bump” or “lurch” as if the truck has been lightly rear-ended. The sensation occurs most often at traffic lights or rolling stops. •Component/system failed: Power Train – Automatic Transmission (9-speed). Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. •Safety risk: The unexpected jolt can cause distraction and abrupt braking. It raises concerns about long-term durability and could increase the risk of a rear-end collision in traffic. •Reproduced/confirmed: Yes. I reported this under warranty to a Nissan dealer. The dealer replaced a transmission bracket, but the issue persists. The downshift/lurch can still be reproduced. •Inspected by others: The dealer service department has inspected it. Manufacturer has not provided a lasting fix. •Warning lamps/messages: No warning lights or diagnostic messages appear before, during, or after the issue. •First appearance: Issue began when I purchased the vehicle (at approx 4700 miles) and continues intermittently (currently 19000 Miles). •Similar…”

Forward collision avoidance

1 report
“The vehicles front Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system, part of the Safety Shield 360 suite, has activated several times without any obstacle, vehicle, pedestrian or hazard present in the roadway. This is commonly known as phantom braking. The system triggers unexpected braking during normal driving conditions, which creates a risk of read end collision from following traffic and loss of vehicle control response time. In my specific case the issue happens during bright sunshine when the sun casts a shadow from the overpass at [XXX] and highway [XXX] in the [XXX] area. This has happened several times to me at that location and the vehicle locks the brakes and traffic behind me must quickly brake to avoid hitting my vehicle. I temporarily remedy the problem by disabling the front emergency brake using the vehicle menu before my commute but that menu resets when the vehicle is turned off and i have on occasion forgot to disable the front emergency braking. This malfunction will also occur at higher speeds but the vehicle does not have time to react and all that I get is a bright flashing warning light on the dash indicators as I drive under overpasses at…”

Structure

1 report
“Regarding the 2024 Titan roof, the rain cutters seem to have seam bonding and no weather stripping. The seam sealant only goes 3/4 of the way along rain cutters on the roof. This is leaving a pocket where water collects and starts to rust. Nissan should repair this under it corrosion warranty . It’s also causing an issue with the windshield where the seam sealant or bonding material is coming apart and leaking into the windshield where rust could form. This is a know issue per some service techs.”

Engine

1 report
“The engine just shut off. I was in traffic moving up to a light and the vehicle just shut down. The second time when I was exiting the freeway got to the yield sign and the vehicle just shut down. The third time was turning left and the vehicle just shut down. the fourth time I was in traffic that was coming to a stop and the vehicle shut down. 5th time I was turning slow rate and the vehicle shut off. 6th and 7th time were in stop and go traffic as it was decelerating. The 8th time coming up to a stop sign and the vehicle shut off. I took the vehicle to Nissan 2 different locations and since there are no codes they can't duplicate the error. My fear is what happens if this shuts down at speed. There was no warning, no rough idle or anything significant. The vehicle has been looked at two different Nissan Dealership without being able to confirm or reproduce the problem. The worst factor is the fear my wife has about the vehicle just shutting off.”
