2022 Nissan Frontier

On July 14, 2023 at approximately 07:15 am, my 2022 Nissan Frontier SV caught on fire. I got home from work at approximately 07:05 am. There were no signs of a possibility of a fire. The front left corner of the truck was destroyed along with other things that melted from the fire. The damage at this time is approximately $27,000. The truck is being investigated as a thermal incident through Nissan USA. They say it will take approximately 8 weeks to finish. At this time it is unsure as to the cause of the fire. You will also see a picture of warning lights from May 10, 2023. I was told not to worry about them because the front sensor was probably wet. Nissan could not trace a problem code.

There has been no progress or update from Nissan on a remedy for the 2 open recalls they have for my vehicle. As stated on the NHTSA website "If the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at: 1-888-327-4236 or TTY: 1-800-424-9153 or file an online complaint with NHTSA." It has been several months since both of these recalls were reported, this is not being handled in a timeline manner by Nissan.

The truck is giving false data for gas mileage the truck is reading a lot higher gas mileage than I'm actually receiving my truck on average gets 15 miles a gallon but the truck itself States is getting 19 to 20mpg. The truck started receiving poor gas mileage after they did the TCM update to the truck in October 2022. I have an app that tracks my gas mileage and it shows the truck getting a lot less MPG than what the computer on the truck indicates. On average there's about a 4 to 5 mile per gallon deviation from reality versus with the truck indicates. The truck used to get 18 to 20 miles per gallon when I 1st purchased it in May but after the TCM update in October it no longer even gets close to 17 miles a gallon which indicates on the sticker. Full disclosure I drive 95% in the city only. Transmission shifting issues. When I drive the transmission lags has weird shifting characteristics when the transmission is cold I was able to reproduce this on a brand new Nissan frontier that had the TCM update. The truck has a slipping issue of not wanting to go under its own power when driving from a stop sign or stop light the truck acts like it doesn't want to move when you give it fuel. Talking with the service adviser at Nissan Dealership I am not the 1st person to complain about this issue. All the problems that I am discussing happened after the tcm update. I've tried calling Nissan directly and I get nowhere but the run around no one wants to take responsibility for the update issue and I've even had a long conversation with their specialist who took my vehicle out and proving to them that I was getting poor gas mileage and weird shifting characteristics and still they have yet to resolve my issue or offer a solution to my issue.

I am unsure which components, but have had more than 1 issue with this vehicle. First, was the scariest. Iwas backing out of driveway onto the roadway, and the back up alarm went of and brakes locked up as the onward traffic was coming towards me. I was barely able to move in time. There was no cars or pedestrians near the back of truck to even set it off. Still scared to back it up for fear of not being lucky enough the next time it happens. Computer system issue?? While driving, seatbelt alarm goes off 60% of time while I am wearing mine and only one in vehicle. I tried getting video of this issue since it does not happen consistently. The other issue, while driving, all the lights on dash came on and it flashed 2 different messages about the system failure. This truck is 3 months old and I am scared to drive it!! Just want to see if there have been any other people with similar experience in their Nissan.

I TRIED TO CALL THE NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS NUMBER IN THE NHTSA NOTICE AND I WAS DISCONNECTED MULTIPLE TIMES ; THEY DO NOT ANSWER ; I THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER AT NISSAN PORT CHESTER IN NY AND THEY SAID THEY "ARE RESTRICTED BY THE MANUFACTURER" AND CANNOT ADDRESS THE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE WE AND NISSAN ARE ON NOTICE OF A SAFETY DEFECT AND A RISK OF ACCIDENT AND INJURY THIS IS NOT A RESPONSIBLE POSTURE . I INTEND TO MAKE THIS PUBLIC SO I WOULD ASK THAT NHSTA TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO CAUSE NISSAN TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION WITHOUT DELAY . ANY DELAY CREATES RISK OF INJURY PLEASE ADVISE WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO THANK YOU

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."

Vehicle is a new 2022 Nissan proX4.purchase date 12/13/21. No issues until February 6 (3100miles). Car was serviced 2/4/22 for initial oil change and all systems were “green light” on routine diagnostic test at time of oil change per dealer. Now various (ABS, engine light, various warning lights) appear while driving and when engine restarted they disappear, only to reappear again intermittently. I suspect an electronic problem or computer malfunction. This is a safety issue due to driver distraction. I have been told by others (facebook group) that they have had similar electronic issues with this 2022 Nissan pro 4 X vehicle that have not been resolved.

The speed control sensor is located in the rear driveshaft passenger side. During a left turn at less than 30-miles and less than 600-miles in the odometer, the speed sensor failed to cause the ABS system, tire pressure, and other sensors to fail as well. The dealer technician determined the rear driveshaft was either damaged at the assembly line or had a defective speed sensor from the factory. There were no other warnings, messages, or symptoms prior to this failure.
