I was traveling on the highway doing 70 mph in the left lane when warning lights started appearing on the dash. The first light was an ABS light. 5 minutes later the truck completely died. I was able to coast across the right hand lane and make my way into the shoulder. With the vehicle completely shut down, I had lost power steering and brake effectiveness. Fortunately, traffic was light and I was able to avoid other vehicles. I was unable to restart the vehicle and had to have it towed to a Nissan dealer. It took them 2 months to diagnose and repair the issue. In the end, the cause was that a hole developed on top of the muffler. The heat escaping the hole was able to pass through an inspection hole in the frame and melt the electrical chassis wiring harness running through it. Parts replaced included:...
This truck was parked in the driveway for at least 24 hours. The battery was dead, so my fiancé got the jumper box out of the truck and popped the hood. After he lifted the hood, he got one of the clamps on the battery when the truck started to roll forward. He couldn’t get out in enough time and was run over. The truck can be inspected upon request. There was a police report and insurance report but no one inspected the vehicle.
I am reporting an issue with the audio head unit/touchscreen system in my truck. The unit consistently malfunctions by producing loud static noise when I increase the volume. In many instances, the radio completely shuts off or freezes, and I have to repeatedly press the on/off knob to get it working again. Sometimes it takes several tries before it functions normally. This problem creates a major distraction while driving, as I have to take my eyes off the road and manually reset the unit multiple times. This can be a safety hazard not only for me but also for others on the road. The issue has persisted despite normal use, and it seems to be a defect in the head unit itself. I am requesting that this issue be investigated for possible recall or repair coverage, as it affects both functionality and driver safety. This is not an isolated issue....
“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.
Classification : BR22-001 DTC C1116 and/or C1142 stored in the ABS control module.
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...
Driving down the highway my abs and traction control lit up then it said front collision sensor malfunction and system fault.
The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the driver’s seat independently moved backward and slightly tilted. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer where the contact was informed that there was a failure of the feature to adjust the seat to assist while an occupant was exiting the vehicle had operated erroneously. The dealer informed the contact that there was no way to turn off the feature and to disconnect the electrical wiring harness attached to the seat to prevent the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been made aware of the failure via email; however, the contact had not received a response. The failure mileage was 34,000.
We have had multiple occasions when the dashboard read as "System Fault"with multiple warning/indicator lights. 12/12/23, while backing out of a parking space at low speed. 9/12/2024 while at a Red Light, and lightly letting off the brake. 9/13/24 while driving 65 mph . An appt was requested at the dealership of purchase for 9/17/24. An email notification was also received from the truck stating that the ABS System may be malfunctioning. When the alert warning/indicator lights appear, the alert states on the dashboard "Warning" "System Fault" "See Owners Manual" . The system generated email states "Your vehicle's antilock braking system may require service". We only received one notification from the vehicle related to the 9/12/24 alert.On 9/19/24 the dealership could not replicate or find a code related to the ABS System Fault and we were encouraged to bring the vehicle back if it happened again so they could run...

The screen that displays the back up camera and navigation system turns off randomly and often.
Backup camera not engaging when in reverse gear. Backup camera is still visible thru the settings menu. Infotainment screen stays in normal state when switching to reverse gear.
On 8/26/23, I came upon a red light and stopped. Vehicle immediately would not go into gear, all dash lights and check engine light were flashing, and fan motors were running loudly. Error message said automatic transmission error. The vehicle could not be turned off for approx. 10 minutes. Had to push the vehicle off of the roadway. I was able to restart the vehicle after 2 hours. On 8/28,23, the exact same thing happened and I was stuck in the lane of traffic. All dash lights and check engine light were flashing. Error message said automatic transmission error. Would not go into any gear. The vehicle could not be turned off for approx. 10 minutes. I had the vehicle pulled out of the roadway, then towed to dealership on 8/28/23. The dealership contacted me on 8/29/82 and stated they could not duplicate the error and there was nothing else...
The truck's computer control system suffered a catastrophic failure after intermittent warning for ABS brakes and Emissions. After this failure the truck was left stranded in the pouring thunderstorm - it wouldn't start, waring lights for just about everything and couldn't be towed as the electronic transmission was locked in park with no manual overrides. Had it occurred on a highway it could have caused serious dangers. After 2+ weeks the dealer hasn't been able to diagnose the problems, repair or return the truck. Complaints have been filed with Nissan Consumer Affairs.
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...
I purchased the vehicle in May of 2022. Since that time, the vehicle has had all safety systems report as failed on at least 11 different occasions. The vehicle will report "System Failure", ABS Failure, Traction Control Failure, Forward & Rear Collision sensor failures. It was reported to me by the dealership that when this happens, the ABS and Traction Control do continue to work, however I have had my brakes lock up and send me sliding down the road as a result of these errors. The errors can occur in any weather or environmental conditions -- They are seemingly random. The dealership has had the vehicle since 5/22/2023 and has not been able to find anything wrong with the vehicle. This is their fifth time attempting to diagnose and correct this issue. It was first reported to the dealership around 1600 miles, and now the vehicle is sitting around...
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.
This issue has occurred once and vehicle has 8k miles. I was sitting in stop and go rush hour traffic. While driving, all the lights on dash came on and it flashed 2 different messages about the system failure. I pulled off into a gas station parking lot and turned the truck off. I waiting approx 2 minutes and started the engine. The system ran thru all of the checks and the flashing system failure message was gone. It has not come back since. Not sure if it was a fluke thing or not.
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...
my new vehicle purchased from a nissan dealer has presented me with the same error twice, the first time they solved it for me but then it continued to fail, however I am writing here because I received a report that vehicles of this model have problems, it seems to me an abuse that is excused in that there are no vehicles to charge a "market adjustment" technically this is an extortion if you want a vehicle there is no more payment, and now I receive a letter from Nissan where my vehicle may present faults and I present it from the beginning and they do not They saw nothing on the computer, so I pay almost $50,000 for a vehicle where they later tell me that it could cause an accident? I get nervous and I don't want to use it but I have to pay the installments or...
Occasionally the doors will not lock or u lock properly. On multiple occasions, when using they key fob to unlock the doors, you can hear them unlock, but the driver's side door will not. the other doors will be unlocked. I will sometimes have to lock/unlock multiple times or use they key to manually unlock. There have also been at least 2 occasions where the doors will be locked, but I was able to open a door, setting off the car alarm.
Vehicle is a new 2022 Nissan proX4.purchase date 12/13/21. No issues until February 6 (3100miles). Car was serviced 2/4/22 for initial oil change and all systems were “green light” on routine diagnostic test at time of oil change per dealer. Now various (ABS, engine light, various warning lights) appear while driving and when engine restarted they disappear, only to reappear again intermittently. I suspect an electronic problem or computer malfunction. This is a safety issue due to driver distraction. I have been told by others (facebook group) that they have had similar electronic issues with this 2022 Nissan pro 4 X vehicle that have not been resolved.
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...
