“Twice after a rain I've found substantial amount of water leaking from the driver side, left side dashboard near the ebrake peddle and under steering wheel. The inside padding around the frame is soaked. It appears it could be broken windshield seal or leaking sunroof. I also have video.”

“After about a year and a half, my truck either won’t want to start or won’t start. I purchased my truck new in early 2022 and I am on my 3rd new battery. Now in late 2026, they are telling me that I shouldn’t take short trips because the “smart charger” won’t have enough time to fully charge the battery. I have read that people are disconnecting something on the truck and it fixes the problem. I am not a mechanic and I don’t feel like I have to regulate what trips I take in my fairly new vehicle. …”

“2021 Nissan Titan XD was being driven. I was listening to an audio book through android auto. I began to hear a noice I can best describe as a beep or squeal like you might hear from an electronic toy with a battery about to die. I thought the sound was coming from the center console and was trying to identify the source when I observed flames erupt behind the passenger door speaker grill. I exited the vehicle and opened the passenger side door where I patted the speaker grill and was able to extinguish the flame. I called 911. …”

“The infotainment screen has a very bad glare to it. When backing up and the sun hits it you cant even see the display. While driving and the sun hits the screen the glare is so bad that you cant see anything on the display. My side windows are tinted and that doesn't help. I took it to the dealership and they acknowledged the issue but said there was no resolve for the issue. I have contacted Nissan customer service and they say there is nothing they can do for it. …”

“I am filing this complaint due to persistent and repeated failures of the vehicle’s head unit infotainment system and rear backup camera, and mirror controls on my 2021 Nissan Titan. These failures have occurred multiple times despite repairs covered under an extended warranty. The issues severely impair vehicle safety and usability. The infotainment head unit screen is completely black and unresponsive. The rear backup camera fails to activate when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, eliminating a federally mandated safety feature. …”
