The 2013 Nissan Titan draws a thin complaint set, so no single system dominates heavily. The most-reported category is airbags, though the complaints tied to that system describe a crash event rather than a spontaneous airbag malfunction, making it a limited data point. Engine behavior shows up across a few reports: owners describe the truck shutting off unexpectedly while accelerating from a stop, then restarting normally after cycling the key in neutral. A separate electrical complaint describes the engine continuing to run after the key was removed, with all warning lights illuminating simultaneously. One owner reports a fuel line leak producing a strong raw-gas smell strong enough that the truck was deemed undriveable. A single report describes the under-vehicle spare tire mount fracturing and the spare dropping away from the vehicle while driving.

By System
The 2013 Nissan Titan has 3 recalls, the most serious being a driver's side airbag inflator that can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
A separate recall covers certain trucks built between January and February 2013 that are equipped with a steering column-mounted gear selector. The shift lever can allow the transmission to move out of park unintentionally, letting the vehicle roll away. On the brake side, the master cylinder can malfunction and reduce braking performance, extending stopping distances in a way that raises the risk of a crash.
