1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2023 Nissan Titan

Failure Date: 08/16/2025

I have a 2023 Nissan Titan xd 4x4. Recently I have experienced a major malfunction with the automatic braking system. While driving the vehicle I have experienced several times that the front left wheel is locking up briefly and pulling me sharply to the left. I have almost slid into other vehicles and guardrails during this malfunction. I immediately brought it to my local Nissan dealer,(coggin Nissan) in jacksonville FL. And reported the problem on three occasions. They offered no findings or solutions to correct the problem. They take it for a short test drive and state everything is working properly. I explained this is a random problem and usually occurs when taking right hand curves and has caused me to lose control of the vehicle. Nothing has been done by the dealer to remedy the problem though most online forums point to a wheel speed sensor. I have also relayed that when its raining and this happens the front crash detector symbol illuminates briefly and I've shown them a picture taken from my cell phone. I feel any further driving of this vehicle puts myself, my family and other drivers at risk.

2 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2023 Nissan Titan

Failure Date: 12/07/2024

Bought my 2023 Nissan Titan pro-4x from dealership may of 2023. Never been involved in a collision. So there should be no reason it feels as if something is loose on the underside. There have been similar reports of this vibration/shaking such as this one: “Nissan Titan pro-4x 4wd was bought new from dealership. Have had issues with the truck downshifting hard when slowing down since purchase. The truck lurches forward under 5mph - 10mph and feels like you are being rearended by another vehicle. Identical issue to NHTSA complaints 11578467 and 11539769. ” I have also had it happen once so far. I have been driving no more than maybe 10mph and it recognized something in front of the sensor and the truck slammed on the brakes to a stop. Mind you I was in an empty parking lot. On long drives, my forward collision sensor will randomly illuminate for no reason. It was do it in all season but more frequently in the winter. I used to own a 2017 Nissan Titan sv. Never once had an issue. I’m not sure what’s going on with Nissans quality control but this is insane. I would honestly like some sort of remedy before I have no other choice than to trade the truck in. .

The vehicles automatic emergency braking system falsely triggers under certain conditions. It most commonly occurs when the the vehicle travels under bridges in sunny, clear conditions.

After this happened three times in a 20 mile stretch, the vehicle displayed a warning light saying that the system had malfunctioned and automatically turned the forward collision system off. The problem still occurs to this day when driving under the conditions previously described and has nearly caused a number of accidents. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

10 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2021 Nissan Titan

Failure Date: 12/01/2020

The emergency braking driver assist is panic braking going over railroad tracks. It is "seeing" the railroad tracks as a vehicle and emergency braking with no cars around. The problem is even when slowing to a crawl under 5mph it slams on the brakes. Any car following behind may hit the car as there is no reason for the braking. Any speed going over tracks will cause emergency braking, the safety issue is if going at any speed a car following behind may without warning or reason have this truck stop for no reason. This is a major accident waiting to happen. We ha e reported it to Nissan and now the 2nd service reporting it and they have been "investigating" is for over a year now. Multiple trucks have this issue. The sutherland Nissan dealer had a tech see this happen to them. If the road is at an decline, and there are rxr tracks the metal in the tracks are seen as a car. The sensors /software need fixed. The only workaround now is to turn off the front end avoidance emergency braking (so why have it) and if there is an accident insurance will want to know why we turned it off.
