The contact owns a 2021 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while in a grocery store parking lot, the vehicle failed to start. The contact called her husband, who replaced the battery; however, the failure recurred at a later date.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.
My 2021 Nissan Titan has rolled away on several occasions, when the shift lever is in the parked position. I needed to use the foot parking brake and wheel chucks to stop and secure the vehicle.
Vehicle has on a handful of occasions stalled or has no throttle response, when taking off from a stop light. The last 2 times this happened the truck engine was till running, but had no throttle response. I had to shift to neutral and pump gas with no input to throttle. Vehicle is very dangerous to drive. Dealership has had numerous repair attempts while vehicle was still under WT. I still don't trust vehicle as it still has very little throttle input idle is terrible and truck lurches on take off's. There is a Nissan Consumers affairs case open on truck with a settlement of $1700 dollars with me taking all the risk. Vehicle is now out of warranty as of a few weeks ago.

I have recently been leaving my truck running when I take short trips because I donât have time to wait on someone to jump me off if the truck wonât start. Also, I have been jumped
2021 Nissan Titan XD was being driven. I was listening to an audio book through android auto. I began to hear a noice I can best describe as a beep or squeal like you might hear from an electronic toy with a battery about to die. I thought the sound was coming from the center console and was trying to identify the source when I observed flames erupt behind the passenger door speaker grill. I exited the vehicle and opened the passenger side door where I patted the speaker grill and was able to extinguish the flame. I called 911. The call connected via bluetooth and I was able to hear the call through the other speakers. I pulled the door panel cover open and was able to observe the spe
