Please also reference NTB21-028, NTB21-073. The failed system appears to be the engine/transmission power control. My safety and passenger safety was at risk. A dealer did inspect in May of 2021 and was not able to duplicate and did not perform any corrective action. The problem is twofold. First the vehicle can fail to accelerate during a rolling stop (i.e. entrance into a traffic circle) and bec…
After replacing the truck frame and one day after returning the truck to me the transmission slipped out of gear while driving 75mph on the freeway. While attempting to brake the transmission seemed to lock up. When I slowed the truck down enough I hit the brakes and shifted the transmission into park. By doing this I was able to stop before hitting other vehicles and a guard rail. Nissan replaced…
The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Titan. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V671000 (Power Train) and 22V457000 (Power Train) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available.

I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT WAITING TO TURN LEFT. THE ENGINE STARTED TO IDLE AT ALMOST 2000 TOMS. I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO TURN LEFT AND I HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER IN THE INTERSECTION. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE IDLE SPEED OF ABOUT 1100 RPM. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER. THE CODE READER SAYS THE IDLE AIR CONTROLLER HAS A FAULT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT T…
The issues I'm experiencing with this vehicle is delayed pedal response and a whole slew of transmission problems. There are no codes or check engine lights on. When coming to a stop and the vehicle downshifts you can visibly see the RPMs go up with each down shift and sometimes the downshift is so harsh going to 1st gear that it feels like another vehicle has bumped me from behind causing the tru…
When driving under normal road conditions and slowing down to stop at a light or stop sign the transmission shifts down abruptly to 1st gear and lunges forward like you have been hit in the rear end. Been doing this since new and dealer cannot diagnose or repair the issue. Seems common on these new Titans. Just had to adjust my driving habit to keep on the brakes as slowing down to a stop.
