2019 Nissan Titan Problems And Complaints

2019 Nissan Titan Problems

Electrical issues:

• Nissan Connect issues: The 2019 Titan owners have repeatedly complained about issues with the Nissan Connect system in the truck. People have reported complete malfunction of the system while driving. In some cases, the system automatically reboots and freezes. There have been frequent disconnections from smartphones, be it Bluetooth or Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
• Backup camera issues: People have reported the backup camera of the truck freezing and not displaying any rearward visual. Although the sensors were working properly, no visual affected rearward visibility. The Japanese manufacturer has issued a recall with NHTSA Campaign Number 19V654000.

Mechanical issues:

• Transmission delay: People have observed a considerable delay when accelerating from a standstill. Though not an issue per se, this has resulted in several close calls while overtaking. Sometimes this delay in gearshifting causes the motor to rev unnecessarily and wears out the clutch.
• Engine knocking sounds: Some people have reported the Titan to make engine knocking sounds at just 30,000 miles. A visit to the dealership says the sound is common in the available engines but the owners feel otherwise. 
• Noisy brakes: The 2019 Titan has accumulated many complaints regarding a grinding noise coming from the brakes. The brakes are also said to wear out excessively at very low mileage. Some owners had to get their brake setups replaced but the issue persisted.
