Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“From a stand still, when accelerating to enter into traffic. Depressing the accelerator, the truck only moves into traffic but then the truck fails to accelerate. There is a flat spot. No acceleration at times. I have to pedal the accelerator to try to get the truck to move. Meanwhile I am stuck with traffic rapidly approaching because I cannot get out of the way. This problem happens intermittently and always at the worst time like when trying to enter onto a highway. I have had near collisions twice due to this problem. Nissan dealer has found nothing. …”
NHTSA complaint #11361728, filed 2020-09, 58,000 miles“Set cruise control at 55 MPH on an interstate highway. When going down a slight hill, speed increases and the cruise control will disengage. At the bottom of the hill, speed drops approximately five (5) miles below set speed before cruise control reengages. I have also tested a 2015 Nissan Frontier with lead mechanic and the same problem occurred. I am concerned about the safety issue. After the dealership ran diagnostics, they saw no problems. Nissan USA is aware of this.”
NHTSA complaint #10638629, filed 2014-09, 100 miles“The cruise control will not coast down hill without decelerating up to 5 miles below set speed, so 55, if your set at 60, etc. The truck has the small 2.5 4cyl engine, but it will climb the first hill perfectly fine without missing a beat, just when it starts coming down the backside of the hill you can physically feel a drag like the throttle plate is completely closed. On very hilly terrain it will decelerate down the first hill, and upon reaching the second hill, accelerate sometimes violently (4 to 5k RPM) too catch up with itself. …”
