Adaptive Cruise Control problems of the 2022 Nissan Frontier

Cruise control surging vehicle beyond initial set limit. I recently purchased my 2022 Nissan Frontier 4x4 crewcab from a texas dealership. After driving it for a week or so, I noticed that while the "cruise control" is engaged, any sort of incline ahead of the vehicle will cause the transmission to down shift and rev up the engine to 5k+ rpms which causes the vehicle to surge and speed up way above the set speed (cruise set to 45mph, the consequence is the vehicle will surge up to 60mph at times and then let the vehicle slow back down to the 45mph speed set in the original setting. ) I found that very unsafe and that my Nissan Frontier is not the only one that experiences this behavior. The internet has had a few reports/complaints on this very issue. According to some of these owners, there's a software update to address this issues. However, some dealerships will charge for this software update if your vehicle has gone past the 36k warranty date to the sum of $600 plus out of pocket. Meanwhile without that software update, the vehicle will surge unnecessarily and dangerously above the intended speed set initially. Respectfully, 2022 Nissan Frontier 4x4 crewcab.

Driving down the highway my abs and traction control lit up then it said front collision sensor malfunction and system fault.

My truck has been warning malfunction on cluster cause can't let me pedal push to go and can't let me on control cruise over 100 times. I went to Nissan dealership to check my truck.

Climbing a hill the cruise control goes crazy and the rpms suddenly exceed 5000+. Scared the hell out of me and could certainly be dangerous especially on rainy roads. . Read more...

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.

The forward collision warning sensor will not reset after activation due to the bumper having imperfections interfering with operation of the sensor. There is no visible damage to the sensor itself.

1. Case #50023765 filed with Nissan. The vehicle 'adas' is unreliable and a safety hazard. Warning indicators illuminate for no apparent reason. Sometimes for a brief period, and sometimes the indicators remain illuminated until the vehicle is turned off. Standard and adaptive cruise controls will not function. When standard and adaptive cruise control is used the shifting in the vehicle is atrocious. The unit will downshift and the engine rpm displays 5000. Up shifting continues with 4000, 3000, 2000, and finally 1850 rpm respectively and the set cruise speed is obtained. 2. Integrity of the 'adas', 'standard cruise', and 'adaptive cruise' are unreliable. As an operator the actions of the unit are in consistent and endanger the operator. 3. Two dealers have addressed the 'adas' issue. One installed a fix. The second further serviced the unit. Uftring Nissan service invoice 'nics453556'. 4. No manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others have inspected the vehicle. 5. Warning lamps, messages, and other symptoms have been present since delivery.

When cruise control is active vehicle ramps to 6000 rpm to gain 1-2 mph going up slight inclines and even straight away. This also occurs when going around another vehicle while cruise control is active. This is a major safety issue as this could cause loss of control of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and was inspected by a mechanic. The mechanic stated there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. I was told this on 2 occasions when bringing this to the dealerships attention. This has been happening each and every time cruise control is active.

Dealer preformed ntb22-084 due to abs lights. Since this TSB was preformed the icc fails to brake the vehicle when it is approaching another car. Current stored dtc is c1a13-72. When the Frontier needs to brake automatically to maintain distance from the car ahead, the dash gets the following warning messages. Rear automatic braking system fault see owners manual, automatic emergency braking system fault see owners manual, cruise control malfunction. During this fault the following systems are disabled: vehicle to vehicle distance control conventional cruise control automatic emergency braking intelligent forward collision warning rear automatic braking this creates an unsafe driving condition which may lead to a collision.

8/21/2022 while driving on ih 30 eastbound during a heavy rain storm the adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning system, anti-lock brakes and traction control light came on. The loss of the anti-lock brakes and traction control systems make driving this Nissan truck hazardous as braking distance is now increased during in-climate weather and traction control loss on a truck which is already light in the rear unsafe as any accumulation of water on the roadway will decrease traction increasing likelihood of a spin out of this truck more likely to occur. Adaptive cruise control and lane departure systems may be optical and heavy rains may render them inoperable. This shouldn't effect the anti-lock brakes and traction control systems for this truck. When I google the symptoms others have posted that this is a common occurence for the 2022 Nissan Frontier sv model.

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. ".

1. Drivers power seat back changes position, seemingly by itself overnight. Dealer says it's a known "engineering issue. " service personnel said a fix is coming but not sure when. Some people think that those affected are accidentally hitting the power seat switches but I have doubts about that. It's an ongoing problem, on and off, since purchasing vehicle 11-9-21. 2. Cruise control is not smooth at all. The truck may lose two mph then the engine may shift down a bunch of gears and the engine needlessly races too much in getting back to speed. It's the worse cruise control I've ever experienced in my life. I reported this to the dealer and they noted it. Nothing was done to correct the problem which has been ongoing since purchasing vehicle 11-9-21.
