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 dominant pattern in 2023 Titan complaints centers on the powertrain, particularly the 9-speed transmission. Owners frequently describe hard or erratic shifts at lower speeds, with lurching during acceleration and deceleration that shows up most noticeably in stop-and-go driving and when merging onto highways. Several owners also report the transmission skipping through its full gear range when building speed. A separate thread of powertrain complaints involves the parking pawl failing to engage, leaving the truck free to roll when parked. Forward collision avoidance draws the next-highest complaint volume, with owners describing unexpected or unintended acceleration events they associate with the system's behavior in traffic. A smaller number of engine complaints mention audible rattling traced to loose exhaust hangers. Cold-weather transmission behavior also comes up, with owners reporting sluggish engagement and erratic RPMs persisting even after the vehicle has fully warmed up in sub-5°F conditions.

By System
The 2023 Nissan Titan has 3 recalls, including a tire defect where an internal bead tear can cause a sudden loss of air pressure while driving, and a transmission fault where the parking pawl may not engage in Park, allowing the truck to roll away.
The airbag control unit on certain vehicles may be missing a spacer, which allows its mounting fastener to work loose. An unsecured control unit can prevent the airbags from deploying in a crash, reducing occupant protection.
