I bought a brand new 2026 Nissan Pro4x from a dealer in Murfreesboro, TN. The hood was misaligned (fitment), which the service department agreed need to be corrected, and there was a significant scuff below the clear coat on the hood. Nissan has refused and denied the claim, even though it is well documented. I went to other Nissan Service Departments and they refused to do the paperwork. I do not believe that Nissan North America warrants the brand new body work on their brand new vehicles. They are not honoring their warranty.

September 30, 2026Electrical System

The contact owns a 2026 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to a dealer due to ongoing electrical issues. Prior to towing the vehicle, the radio failed to turn off, and the engine failed to shut off while attempting to turn off the vehicle. Upon inspection, the dealer diagnosed the vehicle with battery failure. The dealer attempted to disable the radio, rearview camera, side-mirror warning signals, and advanced safety systems to prevent the battery drain; however, the software did not provide the option to turn off the features selectively. The dealer turned off the display screen as the fix. The contact had experienced an electrical failure with another similar ve

September 26, 2026Power Train

While driving my 2026 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X at highway speeds, the vehicle intermittently loses the ability to accelerate. The engine remains running, but pressing the accelerator produces no increase in vehicle speed or engine RPM. No warning lights or diagnostic messages appear when the condition occurs. This creates a significant safety risk because the vehicle cannot maintain or increase speed in traffic. The vehicle has been taken to an authorized Nissan dealer on three separate occasions. The dealer was able to reproduce the condition but has not identified a cause or implemented a repair. The defect remains unresolved and continues to present a safety concern.

I own a new 2026 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X equipped with the original Hankook Dynapro AT2 tires. Shortly after purchasing the vehicle, I began experiencing a noticeable vibration at highway speeds, primarily between approximately 70 and 78 mph. The vibration is most noticeable around 72-74 mph and can be felt through the vehicle, particularly through the seat. I brought the vehicle to a Nissan dealership for diagnosis. The dealer determined that one of the tires had an issue they described as a broken or defective internal belt. During road-force balancing, the affected tire measured approximately 41 lbs of road force, which is significantly higher than expected. The tire was still relatively n

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,700.
