Fuel economy data from fueleconomy.gov (EPA / U.S. Dept. of Energy). Annual cost based on 15,000 mi/yr at 55% city driving and current fuel prices. MPG is U.S. gallons; L/100km converted.
The 2022 Titan's complaint picture is led by powertrain issues, with six reports describing jerking or lurching during acceleration, most commonly when resuming highway speed after slowing in traffic. Owners describe the sensation as a sudden jolt rather than a gradual stumble, and it recurs across multiple driving sessions. The second notable pattern involves the forward collision avoidance system, where owners report the system triggering unexpectedly, in some cases applying the brakes abruptly without an actual obstacle present. This has happened on highways and in curves. The steering system draws one report describing the wheel locking up completely while cornering, leaving the truck undriveable until a dealer replaced components. A single isolated report mentions a sunroof failure described as an explosion, though no similar reports appear in this set to establish it as a pattern.

Total Complaints
By System
The 2022 Nissan Titan has 5 recalls, the most serious being a transmission defect where the parking pawl may not engage when shifted into park, leaving the truck free to roll away.
On the restraint side, the airbag control unit on certain vehicles may be missing a spacer that keeps its mounting fastener tight. If the unit works loose, it can delay or prevent airbag deployment in a crash. The remaining two recalls both affect rear visibility. The infotainment system on some trucks can enter a continuous reboot loop when the vehicle is restarted, leaving the rearview camera display blank while reversing. A separate but related issue can occur when a SiriusXM subscription is set to "Not Subscribed," which can also trigger an infotainment reboot and knock out the rearview camera. Both conditions leave the driver without a camera image while backing up, reducing the ability to see pedestrians or obstacles behind the truck.
