2022 Nissan Frontier

1. Case #[XXX] 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 '[XXX]'. 4. No manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others have inspected the vehicle. 5. Warning lamps, messages, and other symptoms have been present since delivery.

I do not know what caused this to happen. There were no warning lights or messages. Prior to this incident the transmission would rev/speed up on its own for a few seconds (I don't know if this is relevant). Salesperson told me about this and said it was nothing to worry about. The vehicle is equipped with a sensor that brakes if you come to close to an object. This sensor has definitely worked in the past. I was backing up down a long driveway, approximately 50 yards.When I took my foot off of the gas pedal, it did not slow down. Instead it sped up and was uncontrollable. I looked down to make sure my foot was on the brake which it was. I then used both feet to push down on the brake but that did not work either. The vehicle did not stop until it ran into a building. If somebody would have been behind me they would have died or been seriously injured. If the building would not have been there, I might have died or been seriously injured due to the vehicle accelerating at a high speed on its own and the brakes failing to stop the vehicle. This incident happened yesterday so it has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or inspected by the manufacturer or insurance. It happened on private property and will not be inspected by the police.

2022 vehicle, have owned for less than two years. All cameras stopped working, even rear view camera when in Reverse. Went to dealer, and was quoted $5000 to fix issue, replace AVM control unit (Part # 284A1-9BU1A) Not covered under factory warranty due to having too many miles. It is a common issue to that particular model (2022 Frontier Pro-x) from what I've gathered online. I think it's definitely a safety concern not having a rear view camera and outrageous I would be expected to pay $5000 to fix the issue without even being certain the problem will happen again in another two years

I was out hunting, and positioned the truck on a down hill slope to look down onto a unit I wanted to watch. When I put the truck into park it started rolling forward. Once I hit the bakes it stopped. Then obviously I moved the truck. Because of concern. Also the drivers seat lays back on its own, after use you get back into the truck, you have to activate the button to set the seat back in its previous position.

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.

On 8/26/23, I came upon a red light and stopped. Vehicle immediately would not go into gear, all dash lights and check engine light were flashing, and fan motors were running loudly. Error message said automatic transmission error. The vehicle could not be turned off for approx. 10 minutes. Had to push the vehicle off of the roadway. I was able to restart the vehicle after 2 hours. On 8/28,23, the exact same thing happened and I was stuck in the lane of traffic. All dash lights and check engine light were flashing. Error message said automatic transmission error. Would not go into any gear. The vehicle could not be turned off for approx. 10 minutes. I had the vehicle pulled out of the roadway, then towed to dealership on 8/28/23. The dealership contacted me on 8/29/82 and stated they could not duplicate the error and there was nothing else they could do at that time. My concern is that this happens again in a more dangerous setting.

Driver's side powered seatback randomly tilts backward, losing the seat settings that the driver has set. Nissan and other Frontier owners say it is because of the way the driver gets in and out of the vehicle, especially by 'heavier drivers', and claim the driver hits the controls with the back of their leg when getting in or out of the vehicle. This requires the driver to adjust the seat each time this happens. I'm one of those 'heavier drivers', and have also noticed that on a few occasions, the seatback slowly tilted back while driving. Because Nissan said it would require a redesign of the seats, my dealer, with the approval of a Nissan regional technician, installed an on/off power switch that cuts the power to the seats so once you set the seat position and turn off the power, the seat doesn't move.

The truck's computer control system suffered a catastrophic failure after intermittent warning for ABS brakes and Emissions. After this failure the truck was left stranded in the pouring thunderstorm - it wouldn't start, waring lights for just about everything and couldn't be towed as the electronic transmission was locked in park with no manual overrides. Had it occurred on a highway it could have caused serious dangers. After 2+ weeks the dealer hasn't been able to diagnose the problems, repair or return the truck. Complaints have been filed with Nissan Consumer Affairs.

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.
