1 Warnings problem of the 2023 Nissan Frontier

Failure Date: 04/02/2026

April 2 I was driving to an appt got off on access road and as I pulled up behind another vehicle the acceleration was faster than the pressure on the pedal warranted and the emergency stop-braking warning came on. After it was safe to proceed to my destination I proceeded to a parking spot as I turned to pull in the vehicle rapidly accelerated on its on and jumped the side walk. I attempted to brake but the pedal went to the floor with no braking and the engine was red lining as we crashed. My passenger pushed the engine off button. Front passenger tire was sheered off. No air bag deployment and vehicle likely totalled.

2 Warnings problem of the 2022 Nissan Frontier

Failure Date: 07/14/2025

“system fault” see owners manual. Forward emergency brake assist not working , reverse emergency brake assist not working. As well as the traction control was not working. Forward/reverse safety is a concern because if a vehicle cuts me off or person jumps in front or walks behind of my vehicle it will cause accident. The dealership confirmed the problem. As well as many people state they have had the same problem with same vehicle. Yes there were warning lights etc. This is not the first time this has happened atleast 20 times. I uploaded a picture of the event not the prior ones. I also found a post online about it.

5 Warnings problem of the 2022 Nissan Frontier

Failure Date: 08/27/2024

While driving multiple lights go off on the dash including abs, traction control, and collision warning. The dash has a message that states system fault see owners manual. If you turn the truck off the system will reset and clear the faults. This does not stop the truck from faulting again in the future.

6 Warnings problem of the 2023 Nissan Frontier

Failure Date: 07/02/2024

This first appeared on or about 7/2/24. Saw dealership on 7/9/2024. First driving the cruise control failed and showed malfunction. The next morning truck started but numerous things didn’t work like radio and rear emergency braking. Rear braking was a malfunction. Also trip a/b were erased. On 7/9/24. Dealer found some previous codes and said might be due to storage switch issue. But the codes seem to point at a distant sensor but stated it could have happened due to low battery volts. Now on may 29th I requested the battery to be load tested because the a/b trip meters had reset twice. Never saw the results of that test. Back in early may I put the battery on the charger due to it showing lower voltage. Battery was at 50 percent at time of charge. Truck sat on lot from Aug 23 till March 27-24 when I purchased it. Sorry about going backwards. So dealer stated on July 9th that codes found were old (3556 miles) cleared and drove truck 3 miles with no problems. On 7/11 failed again reported it to dealership. On 7/14 failed again. All failures were with forward collision system. On 7/16 dealer said no codes drove truck no issues so they wouldn’t do anything else , even though it’s a possible safety issue even though I had documented pictures and text messages sent to dealer. They needed it to happen when they drove it. 30 mins later driving home malfunctioned again called dealership immediately on the side of the freeway to report this issue again. Response was a number for a tow truck and it didn’t matter because they weren’t driving the truck. This resets every time the truck is turned off. I explained numerous times that it’s intermittent, that’s the issue and why I have everything documented. So as for now I have a system that malfunctions with cruise control on or not. Truck has 4000 miles on it. Dealer won’t do anything due to it won’t malfunction in their procession. Currently at a loss.

Failure Date: 05/14/2023

Unknown. Had the truck to the dealer several times over the last year for sudden "system fault" warning along with check engine, collision avaoidance and braking disabled, tcs off, abs, and several other lights. I have been told the dealer could not find the problem, which is odd because Nissan connected services logs data from my truck and emails me when there is a fault, like abs system failure see dealer, I have had the truck to the dealer no less than 4 times when it was actually check and a few other they refused to even look at it. The last visit I had the warning lights all come on and I took it to another dealer and demanded they scan it with out shutting it off which would cause the system to reset and then they could find the fault again. This is frankly dangerous I have had the system fail in low traction / high wind areas where it was dangerous to be drving like that.

8 Warnings problem of the 2022 Nissan Frontier

Failure Date: 01/05/2023

Driving up a mountain road to a ski resort, my abs, traction control, forward collision warning, and rear collision warning lights all turned on at the same time. My abs and traction control systems turned off, as evidenced by increased sliding around and no abs present when attempting to stop. I took the vehicle in for an oil change, recall repair, and asked the service managers to look at the safety systems. They informed me that they needed to "order parts" to rectify the issue and they did not have an estimated delivery date for the parts. A week later, I called the service department and was told they needed to order a "rear axle" and that it was backordered with no estimated delivery date. I have filed a complaint with Nissan consumer affairs.
