Check engine light by model year
What owners say
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 they could do at that time. My concern is that this happens again in a more dangerous setting.
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 the system fail in low traction / high wind areas where it was dangerous to be drving like that.
While descending my steep (20% grade) driveway with the transmission in the manual mode and selected to 1st gear when the engine speed reached approx. 2500 rpm (15 mph) the transmission shifted out of gear, the check engine light illuminated, and "automatic transmission fault" appeared on the center display. Following this moving the selector lever to different gear selections did nothing except when placed in park. To get the transmission to respond requires turning the vehicle off and back on. Dealer has looked at the vehicle and did not find anything at this time. This has happened on multiple occasions, and could result in loss of control of the vehicle resulting in a crash.
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.
