EMERGENCY CONSUMER PROTECTION COMPLAINT: ILLEGAL COERCION & PUBLIC SAFETY RISK I am filing an emergency complaint against Nissan North America and its authorized dealership. On August 21st, 2026, my husband was nearly killed when our 2023 Nissan Titan suffered a total engine stall at 75 MPH on a major interstate, forcing a semi-truck to violently swerve to avoid a fatal rear-end collision. Despite a documented history of nine (9) warranty repair attempts for same issues starting at 23,145 miles and now at 43,000 and still not resolved (including replacement of the ECM, updating transmission, multiple Mass Air Flow Sensors and throttle body) and over 110 days out of service, Nissan Corporate and the dealership forced us into picking up this unfixed, unsafe dangerous vehicle, even after we stated to them MULTIPLE times we did not feel safe picking up this truck. They threatened to charge us immediate daily storage fees and demanded the instant revocation of our loaner vehicle forcing us to pick up this truck and once again put the safety of our family and others in jeopardy. The vehicle has suffered multiple further failures since the August situation and has been grounded at the dealership since October 15, 2026. I request immediate state intervention into Nissan's deceptive and reckless business practices. This vehicle is not only placing our family in danger but all other drivers on the road as well. They refuse a buyback as they do not see this as a serious safety defect that could have caused an accident numerous times but the August by far the utmost and highly crucial one to date. We are not willing to take the chance any longer. They have neglectfully disregarded the severity of this issue and also putting us at risk for major and catastrophic liabilities if we continue to leave this truck on the roads.

MANUFACTURING DEFECT: 2020 Nissan Titan roof ditch seam sealer failure. Factory sealer cracked/peeled under roof moldings, allowing heavy rainwater ingress into vehicle cab. FAILED WARRANTY REMEDY: Authorized Nissan dealer completed a $0.00 warranty repair on 12/30/2025 at 36,678 miles. Vehicle purchased used on 01/16/2026 at 36,777 miles (17 days/99 miles post-repair). On 08/12/2026 at 43,133 miles, a certified Nissan facility diagnosed total failure of the previous repair. The factory defect failed again in under 8 months and 6,455 miles. ELECTRICAL SAFETY HAZARD: Water channels directly down A/B-pillars onto vital electronic modules, causing severe component short-circuits. Requires complete electronic module/wiring harness replacements. Leaking onto active electrical components poses an imminent risk of sudden dashboard blackouts, complete vehicle stalling while in motion, or short-circuit electrical fires if left unrepaired. ENVIRONMENTAL/HEALTH HAZARD: Continuous un-remedied flooding can cause rapid, extensive toxic black mold growth throughout the headliner and interior cabin, creating an immediate severe respiratory health hazard for occupants. The prior repair replaced the headliner due to this exact issue. CURRENT STATUS: Certified Nissan facility issued a $3,000 estimate, explicitly noting more damages will be found upon teardown. Nissan Consumer Affairs formally denied coverage because the calendar warranty period recently expired, refusing to honor or correct their own failed, incomplete warranty repair. The manufacturer is leaving a severe, documented safety and health hazard completely unaddressed. Due to continued rain, un-remedied repairs, and refusal from Nissan to help mitigate costs from the failed warranty repair the rust is ongoing. This is a known issue with these trucks and Nissan refuses to issue a recall to help repair the vehicles leaving many owners with costly repair bills and vehicles that are unsafe.

Vehicle has on a handful of occasions stalled or has no throttle response, when taking off from a stop light. The last 2 times this happened the truck engine was till running, but had no throttle response. I had to shift to neutral and pump gas with no input to throttle. Vehicle is very dangerous to drive. Dealership has had numerous repair attempts while vehicle was still under WT. I still don't trust vehicle as it still has very little throttle input idle is terrible and truck lurches on take off's. There is a Nissan Consumers affairs case open on truck with a settlement of $1700 dollars with me taking all the risk. Vehicle is now out of warranty as of a few weeks ago.

Torque Converter- The torque converter on my 2019 Nissan Titan -4X failed at approximately 68,000. Symptoms began as cold-start shudder lasting several minutes, progressing to pronounced shudder under light throttle acceleration between 25–50 MPH, erratic shifting at the 3-4 and 4-5 gear transitions, and TCC (torque converter clutch) slip. These symptoms created unpredictable drivetrain behavior at highway speeds, presenting a safety risk to myself and other drivers. The problem was diagnosed and confirmed by an independent service center using live PCM data. TCC slip readings of -27/748 RPM were recorded during a test drive, matching the failure criteria specified in Nissan Technical Service Bulletin NTB22-099A, which Nissan issued to address this exact torque converter defect in this model. The repair — torque converter remove and replace transmission using OE parts — is currently underway. The failed component is available for inspection upon request. This is a very serious safety concern when pulling out vehicle stalls and can cause serious damage and injuries and or death to myself and others

Imminent catastrophic engine failure on 2018 Nissan Titan. The engine has developed severe cylinder wall scuffing and loss of compression (150psi vs 264psi spec) on multiple cylinders. This defect can cause loss of power and potential stalling at highway speeds, presenting a safety risk. The failure matches Nissan TSB NTB19-057 (knock/scuffing). Despite a perfect maintenance history, Nissan is denying warranty coverage by claiming there was no oil change service record because the maintenance was not done at a Nissan dealership. The local Nissan dealership confirmed the issue matches the TSB and an independent inspection confirmed the defect is mechanical (piston/cylinder clearance).

I am experiencing engine stalling. I have also experienced dome light flickers or not turning on on occasion along with radio and phone charge connection not always working, like a short of some sort. Also the mirror button allowing the driver and passenger side mirrors to open close sometimes fails as if wiring is OK sometimes and other times not There is not an exact date for the issues as they have occurred on and off since 2019 I did take the truck into Nissan 11/2023 as the radio blacked out and would not turn on. I was told the Main Harness had a shorted out wire and a jumper wire should be installed. Nissan installed a jumper wire for the radio. Occasional flickering lights, charging connections, mirror operations, and engine stalling still remained.

Alternator harness is defective in my 2019 Nissan Titan. My truck has stalled on me twice while running and my air conditioner compressor has stopped working and radio is not working properly, and it is draining my battery, there is a delay when starting my vehicle as if it does not have enough power. I replaced the air conditioner compressor and vehicle battery. After replacing the air conditioner compressor it stopped working after two weeks. I can hear the air conditioner struggling when it is turn on, my radio and back up camera stop working all of sudden as if it is not getting enough power, then it will start working again. Radio turns on and off by itself. My vehicle omits a burnt smell from the engine. A research of the issues with my vehicle I located a recall with similar issues (19V495000) that affected 2017-2019 Nissan Titans.

While driving my car would almost stall on the highway, if I gave it gas while merging onto the highway it doesn't respond and then almost stall, but then respond after 2 seconds when it was not as clear to merge on the highway. I have had to replace the battery twice and been stranded in the last 3 years, the engine would pretend to start but not kick over. I have seen that this is a common problem when looking into Nissan TItan Forums

I stopped to get diesel and pulled onto the interstate. Within 2 miles of being on the interstate, the engine felt as though it downshifted, lost power, and stalled in a construction one lane zone with no way to get out of traffic. The engine would no longer turn over and the truck would not start. This was a danger, not only to me, but to other drivers on the interstate. Had taken 90 miles away to a certified diesel nissan dealership who said all of the fluids were good and the motor was locked solid. It was not covered by warranty ans was estimated to cost $32,000.00 to replace motor.
