2022 NISSAN FRONTIER Complaints

In December 2021, I purchased a 2022 Nissan Frontier Pro-X. The vehicle comes with built-in navigation that, according to their website, should receive map updates quarterly. Since purchasing the vehicle, brand new, there have been no updates to the navigation system nor maps. I have gone back and forth with Nissan support and the dealership only to be told there are no updates. The maps are severely out of date, making a feature that many people rely on useless. Therefore, we are not getting full value of what we are paying for. This is a complaint for numerous Nissan owners as I've found in message board forums. Nissan is not addressing the problem and will not return my messages or address my concern directly.

The screen that displays the back up camera and navigation system turns off randomly and often.

Backup camera not engaging when in reverse gear. Backup camera is still visible thru the settings menu. Infotainment screen stays in normal state when switching to reverse gear.

Infotainment Center which includes rear camera view. Sometimes up to a one minute delay in the system turning on. The dealer has updated the system several times. It may help for awhile but the problem always returns.

Climbing a hill the cruise control goes crazy and the RPMs suddenly exceed 5000+. Scared the hell out of me and could certainly be dangerous especially on rainy roads. Many owners are reporting this issue on the Nissan Frontier Owners forum - example here: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

When using adaptive cruise and there is a slight hill and it loses around 1-3 mph it will change 2-4 gears and get as high as 6500rpm just to make up those lost mph. On one occasion I hit a small patch of gravel on a repaired spot on the highway and temporarily lost control of my truck. This is a major safety issue.

The forward collision warning sensor will not reset after activation due to the bumper having imperfections interfering with operation of the sensor. There is no visible damage to the sensor itself.

I was driving southbound freeway I 35 in Oklahoma City at around 60mph lost control of my vehicle and crashed into the median barrier that divides both freeways crashed head on and the airbags. Not even one of them deployed hit my head with the steering wheel And driver passenger door window

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.
