Transmission shifting is abrasive particularly when coming to a stop. Vehicle lurches forward when transmission shifts from 2nd to 1st. Loss of control imminent when traveling on slick surfaces. I have brought this to the attention of my local dealership and was told there are no warning lights illuminated so the transmission is working correctly. They also stated that this is a common complaint with no remedy?

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. Have voiced my concerns to the Nissan dealership I have maintenance completed at. They cannot recreate the problem or diagnosis the issue. They cited it may be a software issue. Have voiced concerns and continued issue with every standardized oil chain/tire rotation and scheduled maintenance appointments. No resolution to the issue has been made.

The truck was parked on hill and as I unlocked it, it rolled down 2 blocks. Hit a brick wall and finally went into a yard and hit a parked car. This is the second time this truck has rolled down. First time, I was able to catch it but this time I couldn’t. It was horrific to witness.

When you come to a stop, the vehicle lurches forward like someone hit your vehicle from behind.

I currently have a 2023 Nissan Titan Pro-4X 4WD that intermittently when slowing to a stop between the speeds of 0-7mph it will, at times, feel as though the transmission is dropping from 3rd gear to 1st gear without cycling into 2nd gear properly creating almost a bumping effect to where it feels like you are almost being bumped from behind. Like being rear-ended at a very slow speed. There is a difference in slowing to a stop and it cycles properly which this truck will do the majority of the time and then when it does this hard skipping of the gear and feeling like it is being bumped. I have taken it to the dealership on numerous occasions and reported the concern and let them know that it feels that on the occasions that it shifts hard into that bump it will move forward a bit and that I do not feel comfortable that it may not be an issue with the brakes as well. The dealership has not been able to replicate it to the extent that we are reporting it because it can be so intermittent, and you would need to drive it a bit see when it happens that they keep telling us that they cannot replicate it and it is fine. They had a Nissan engineer come take a look and he could not replicate the exact "bump" feel so he said it is normal and said go ahead and drive it. I have had others in the vehicle, a salesman at the dealership, and others that have driven trucks before, and I have had numerous Titans prior to this one and none have ever done this and other say the same thing that this is an issue and likely with the transmission. I reached out to another mechanic, and he stated that it sounds like it definitely could be an issue that needs to be looked at and could cause a safety risk to myself or others if something happens and does not allow the vehicle to properly slow down or shift into gear properly. The dealership continues to tell me that since they cannot replicate the issue to just drive it. I have towing off.

purchased this vehicle new 4/3/23.specidically purchased this truck for towing as it has the built intergated goose neck for a 5th wheel attachment. recently attempted to put the fifth wheel in to tow our camp trailer, it would not drop down far enough and lock on place on the truck, contacted the dealer and as well took the truck to 4 different businesses that specialize in hitches, only to advised by everyone that there is a factory defect in the trucks system with it being installed too high when holes were drilled thru the frame, the truck is not repairable for towing a fifth wheel or goose neck trailer and if towed as is could break loose causing a accident. it is a extreme safety if this is also occuring on other trucks and less experienced people do not have the knowledge to check things out.
