2015 Nissan Frontier Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“Brake and accelerator pedal placements and operation are dangerous.

A boot or wide shoe can overhang the edge of the brake pedal and engage the accelerator before braking becomes effective.

Once the cycle starts you must use the emergency brake or throw it into neutral to prevent forward motion. …”

“Engine light came on, and vehicle accelerated, then lost acceleration while revolutions increased. Diagnosis indicates Bad TCM.

The caller had to put the gear in neutral and then park but was uncertain as to what was causing the rear to be unstable when releasing the accelerator pedal. No dealer had been able to replicate and diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired so the contact was uncertain if the failure may result in a catastrophic crash. …”

“Dangerous lurching and sometimes with not engage. Other Nissan models have the same problem. The diagnostic code is U0101 bad communication between TCM and Vehicle.”
