Cruise control driving system malfunctions, not engaging Vehicle not recognizing key fobs despite me & dealership replacing batteries I have been stranded multiple times traveling with and without my family as vehicle would not start and waiting on help in multiple states. I personally bought AAA & Good Sam’s over the years to supplement the need for assistance in traveling because it happen so randomly and caused great distress to me having disabilities . I have had issues with the gas mile dropping and even have email messages from manufacture that something was wrong with that vehicle system I have had issues with high beam lights not functioning properly leaving me to manually drive & hold on while driving at times because they would not function properly I have taken the vehicle to the dealership so much being told " NOT TO COME BACK UNLESS LIGHTS WERE BEING DISPLAYED " and then when I did and recorded some incidents they would say they could not duplicate ,’ I needed to drive more’ , ‘I just needed to get a new vehicle’ , ‘It was out of warranty or I would have to pay for them to even inspect it’ , only to have to replace another battery or replace some wire sometime thereafter at my expense on occasion Nissan did final inspection 3 December 2025 offered me 12,500 dollars but said they found nothing wrong

I have noticed this problem a few times, specifically in highway traffic. When getting back up to speed, i have noticed my 2022 Nissan Titan suddenly jerk as I am accelerating back up to the posted speed limit. This has happened a few times. First time I did not pay it to much consideration, but now it's something that worries me. I have also noticed my Automatic Cruise control is having issues staying on when activated. I turn it on, but when I go to set the vehicle speed, I will sometimes get a malfunction warning. I love using the Automatic Cruise Control for its safety and to set the speed limit when I drive

Erratic shifting. As an example, while attempting to pass at highway speeds, the transmission will not downshift responsively (or downshift to low gears/high rpm) leading driver to abandon the pass due to time lag, lack of confidence and power gain loss/stress. Other examples, this 7speed transmission will rev spike at low gears like it was slipping or confused, then it corrects itself. If you have cruise control enabled, the transmission seems to downshift on minor hill climbs, which is not something a normal driver would do. Overall, this transmission and TCM have had issues and recalls in the year prior to this model and in my opinion the flaws continue to exist and need a recall.

I was droving down the road with the cruise control set at 70MPH, when all of the sudden the engine lost power and stopped. It did not have a check engine light or anything on the dash to indicate that there was a problem. I coasted to the edge of the road where i attempted to restart the vehicle, but it would not even turn over. I had the vehicle towed to a repair shop where I was informed that they engine was locked solid. The mechanic suspects that they crankshaft is broken, but the entire engine will need to be replaced.

2017 57,000 miles, Very well maintained truck with turbo actuator issues (replaced 3 times). I was driving down the highway taking my kid to practice, when the truck started to act up. I took the cruise control off and started slowing down to get to a safe place off of the highway, when the truck shut off and came to a complete stop. Oil changed every 5000 mi by myself a retired military mechanic. The engine is seized up with a broken crankshaft. =This happened while driving down a very busy highway which made pulling over almost impossible. My child could have been injured or even worse if i couldn't get to the side of the road to safety. This seems to be a very

Truck was exiting highway driver tried to disengage cruise control, would not disengage. Driver put truck in neutral to slow down truck but didnt slow down enough to avoid accident. Driver and passenger are in hospital with several injuries. The air bags did not deploy during accident. Insurance is inspecting vehicle.

The driver assistance light keeps coming on. I get an error saying that the front sensors are blocked. It stops me from being able to use cruise control. I have to turn the truck of and then back on for it to go away but it always comes back.

Frequent and intermittent appearance of ABS, traction control, engine warning and 4WD Error lights on dashboard. All lights appear simultaneously and when they appear, cruise control fails, vehicle downshifts and slows substantially and engine RPMs increase 10-20% above norm for each gear. If vehicle is stopped, turned off and then restarted, conditions return to normal, only to appear again later. During a recent 3,000 mile Florida-Michigan-Florida trip, these incidents occurred a total of 56 times, all while on interstate highways driving 55-70 mph. The incidents do not occur during daily low-speed driving around town. After the recent 3k mile trip, I brought the vehicle to Nissan dealer however they would not service because dashboard lights were not on and vehicle was operating normally. Dealer advised I should wait until lights reappear, then bring vehicle into dealer service bay immediately and “DO NOT TURN OFF IGNITION” because lights will disappear. This situation is difficult because lights only appear when I am driving on the interstate, usually far from home, and they disappear upon restart. Also I would need to immediately find a Nissan dealer with an open service bay.

Airbag light is constantly flashing and nothing on the steering wheel works. Cruise control, volume for the radio, mode select and etc. This seems to be a common issue after looking at other forums with nissan titan owners complaints.
