“When using adaptive cruise and there is a slight hill and it loses around 1-3 mph it will change 2-4 gears and get as high as 6500rpm just to make up those lost mph. On one occasion I hit a small patch of gravel on a repaired spot on the highway and temporarily lost control of my truck. This is a major safety issue.”

“I bought my 2022 Nissan Frontier Pro-X on 09/12/2021. Since day 1 it had something loose under the hood and was making cracking sounds. Had to bring it in and they tightened something and then had to do a full re-alignment. And before I even hit 1k miles my aerial / backup camera stop working and I’m now waiting on a whole new camera control assembly unit that is on back order and they claim could take months. …”

NHTSA complaint #11442197, filed 2021-11

“Vehicle has repeatedly automatically applied the brakes when using cruise control at highway speeds. It happens when going under an underpass that is casting a strong shadow. First time it happened I reported it to Nissan USA. They told me to take it to the dealership. I did and they found nothing wrong. Next time it happened they said they'd have a regional consumer affairs person call me. They did, but in so many words they told me tough.”
