Automatic Transmission Control Module Problems of Nissan Titan

Erratic shifting. As an example, while attempting to pass at highway speeds, the transmission will not downshift responsively (or downshift to low gears/high rpm) leading driver to abandon the pass due to time lag, lack of confidence and power gain loss/stress. Other examples, this 7speed transmission will rev spike at low gears like it was slipping or confused, then it corrects itself. If you have cruise control enabled, the transmission seems to downshift on minor hill climbs, which is not something a normal driver would do. Overall, this transmission and tcm have had issues and recalls in the year prior to this model and in my opinion the flaws continue to exist and need a recall.

The contact owns a 2024 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate from a stop, the transmission was slipping, and the vehicle jolted and jerked while shifting between 4th and 5th gears. The contact stated that while attempting to stop the vehicle, there was an abnormal clunking sound coming from the transmission, with the vehicle jolting. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the tcm needed to be reprogrammed. The contact also stated that water was leaking through the sunroof. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 9,000.

The automatic transmission in my 2024 Nissan Titan pro-4x intermittently malfunctions when slowing to a stop. As the vehicle decelerates to about 1–2 mph, there is a distinct “bump” or “lurch” as if the truck has been lightly rear-ended. The sensation occurs most often at traffic lights or rolling stops. •component/system failed: power train – automatic transmission (9-speed). Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. •safety risk: the unexpected jolt can cause distraction and abrupt braking. It raises concerns about long-term durability and could increase the risk of a rear-end collision in traffic. •reproduced/confirmed: yes. I reported this under warranty to a Nissan dealer. The dealer replaced a transmission bracket, but the issue persists. The downshift/lurch can still be reproduced. •inspected by others: the dealer service department has inspected it. Manufacturer has not provided a lasting fix. •warning lamps/messages: no warning lights or diagnostic messages appear before, during, or after the issue. •first appearance: issue began when I purchased the vehicle (at approx 4700 miles) and continues intermittently (currently 19000 miles). •similar complaints: other 2024 Nissan Titan owners have reported the same problem publicly, describing the downshift bump/lurch at low speed. Earlier Titan model years (2020–2023) had recalls and tsbs for tcm/ecm software updates (e. G. , campaigns r22b1, r22a9; tsbs ntb21-028a, ntb22-085) addressing low-speed hesitation and harsh downshifts. My request: I am requesting NHTSA investigate whether the 2024 Titan shares the same transmission calibration defect as prior years and determine if Nissan must provide updated software or other corrective measures to fix this unsafe low-speed downshift behavior. Thank you.

I was driving my truck on a main road and stopped at a stop sign and when I went to accelerate my truck was barely moving, unless I put the pedal to the ground. The truck went into limp mode and after looking into it, the codes p1757 and p1759 came up for the front break solenoid valve and after examining the tcm, I noticed the pin snapped for the front break solenoid, hence making the truck go into limp mode. I researched this problem and noticed that multiple 2005 Nissan Titans have had the same problem of this pin snapping causing the truck to go into limp mode because the solenoid receives now power. I was turning onto a main road where the speed limit was 35 so I accelerated thinking it would do so normal and make it before an oncoming car was coming, when the truck was slowly moving in front of the incoming car, I had to quickly put the truck into reverse to avoid the on coming car because I was excepting to make the turn before the car would come but the truck going into limp mode cause the truck to take much longer to barely make that turn. I was lucky to reverse quick enough for I do not know if the incoming car would have stopped or slowed down in time.

Sitting overnight with temperature in the 40's, when putting the automatic transmission into drive,it would keep dropping out of gear. The truck drove fine when manually shifting through the gears. Problem continued for most of a year but did not generate an error code. Finally developed an error code indicating problem in first gear of the transmission valve body with tcm. This required replacement of valve body internal to the transmission, which had been contaminated by an undetectable radiator to trans cooler leak also requiring the radiator to be replaced. I have been told this is not an uncommon problem, for which Nissan has done nothing, other than putting a special coating on bolts internal to the transmission to detect the presence of coolant. This problem can cause complete failure of the transmission. It could be easily prevent by the installation of a separate transmission cooler.
