The first issue is the A/C system. When the system is being run on the maximum setting there is a audible ticking sound. This sound has been attributed to a part inside the AC unit that's made of plastic that goes bad really quick. The result of this is no AC or no heat and a very expensive cost to repair. The entire dash has to be removed to accomplish the repair. The second issue is the (bcm) body control module. This module controls all the accessory electronics inside and outside the vehicle (TPMS, door locks, horns, lights, turn signals, windows, trailer hitch etc.) nissan knows this is an issue because of the hundreds of post online about various models of their vehicles with bcm issues. However they have not fixed the problem. There are hundreds many thousands of vehicles that don't have working electronics because nissan hasn't done a recall and the parts of too expensive for the customers to fix. My vehicle is a 2011 with 58000 miles and none of the door locks work when trying to use the key fob. The TPMS comes and goes whenever it wants to. I've had the system reprogrammed and the issues still remain.

The drivers side rear door will lock. You can not unlock the door with the key, pushing any buttons, using the fob, nor can you unlock it from the inside. You must use the master button on the drivers door and in doing so you must lock and unlock the doors dozens of times and only then it may work the rear door. You do not need to lock the door for this to occur. The door will lock on its own. The vehicle can be unlocked, sitting for a day, and I can go out to use the vehicle and the rear door will be locked. You can be driving the vehicle and the rear door will simply lock itself. If you lock the vehicle (and it makes no difference how you do it) the rear door will not unlock with the other doors. My concern is that with a rear passenger (usually a child) and were involved in an accident entering or exiting the vehicle from the drivers side rear door would be nearly impossible because of the locking door. A very dangerous situation if fire were involved.

The back two door latches do not open untilled jiggled or continually vibrated. This would not allow the doors to be opened in the event of a emergency. I have taken the vehicle back to be repaired but to no avail. Vehicle was stationary while trying to open doors. Its this a safety hazard since the occupants may not be able to exit the vehicle during a critical time?

Door latch assembly freezes and no door can be opened. Truck was parked overnight outside. Doors cannot be opened from outside, if entry is gained doors can be opened from inside.

Door lock actuators stopped working causing a safety concern cern when needing to quickly exit the vehicle. Cruise control buttons stopped working as well. Vehicle has been clipped and also been involved in a rear end collision where on both occasions, the air bags did not deploy. Very concerning!

The driver side door handle stopped working on inside or outside creating a trap. Egress can only be achieved by climbing over consoles or seats to escape. Numerous online forums indicate that latches do fail in nissan vehicles.

Doors. During colder temperatures, the door handles will stick. This also causes the door to not be able to shut properly. Only way to keep the door from swinging open is to press firmly on the handle and door while hitting the lock key. First noticed the issue with the door when I was stationary. Took to nissan right after. Noted also other 2017 titans had been brought in for the sams issue.
