What owners say
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.
The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that the sticker that displayed the features showed that the vehicle was equipped with an Intelligent Forward Collision Warning System; however, the system occasionally failed to operate as needed. The contact stated that while the cruise control feature was activated on a hill, the vehicle downshifted the vehicle decelerating. The contact became aware of TSB: NTB 22-082a (Service Information for Brake Switch Adjustments for DTC C1142 and/or C1116 Stored). The contact also learned that the transmission control module needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in the TSB. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 3.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Back over prevention: display function
- What is wrong
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2022 Titan, Titan XD, Frontier, and 2021-2022 Rogue vehicles. The in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system may continuously reboot when the vehicle is restarted, which can result in an inoperative rearview display. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
- Risk
- An inoperative rearview camera display reduces the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- The IVI software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 18, 2022. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1‑800‑867‑7669. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R22B8, R22C1, and PC923/25.
