On the 2020-2024 Nissan Titan 5.6L VK56VD V8, multiple 2020-2024 Titan owners report rough 2-3 or 3-4 shifts, delayed engagement when selecting Drive or Reverse, shuddering under light throttle, and occasional reduced-power or fail-safe operation. Nissan issued technical service information for transmission control module and valve body related drivability concerns on trucks using the 9-speed automatic. Owners commonly describe the problem as intermittent at first, then more frequent as mileage accumulates or after towing and hot-weather use.
Diagnosis typically starts with scanning the TCM/ECM for stored transmission and ratio codes, checking fluid condition and level, and confirming whether updated TCM calibration applies. Depending on findings, repairs range from software reprogramming and adaptive relearn to valve body replacement or, in more severe cases, transmission replacement. A road test with live data is important because many complaints involve intermittent flare or delayed engagement that may not appear cold.

On the 2020-2024 Nissan Titan, a recurring owner complaint on newer Titans is parasitic battery drain after sitting overnight or for several days, leading to slow cranking or a complete no-start. Reports frequently point to the infotainment, telematics, or body control network not going to sleep properly, especially after software glitches, accessory installation, or repeated short-trip use. Some owners replace the battery only to have the drain return until the underlying module issue is addressed.
Proper diagnosis requires a parasitic draw test after all modules should be asleep, along with checking for software updates and isolating the draw by pulling fuses or monitoring current with a clamp meter. Repairs may include battery replacement if damaged by repeated deep discharge, infotainment or telematics module software updates, and in some cases module replacement. Charging system output and battery state of health should be verified before condemning control units.

On the 2020-2024 Nissan Titan, owners have reported blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert systems giving false warnings, becoming unavailable, or showing persistent malfunction messages on 2020+ Titans. The problem is often linked to rear bumper radar sensor alignment, water intrusion, impact damage from minor bumps, or calibration issues after bumper work. While not usually immobilizing, it disables a key driver-assistance feature and can create nuisance alerts.
Diagnosis includes scanning the ADAS modules for radar-related faults, inspecting rear bumper mounting and sensor brackets, checking for moisture or corrosion at connectors, and performing radar aiming/calibration if needed. Repairs may involve sensor replacement, bracket correction, harness repair, or recalibration after body work. Even a slight bumper deformation can affect radar aim enough to trigger warnings.

On the 2020-2024 Nissan Titan, owners of 2020+ Titans have reported tailgates unlatching unexpectedly or opening after closing, sometimes associated with power lock operation, key fob use, or misadjusted latch hardware. Complaints often mention cargo loss risk and repeated dealer adjustments that temporarily improve the condition. The issue appears tied to latch alignment, switch/actuator behavior, or wiring in the tailgate harness rather than a single universal failure point.
Diagnosis should include checking latch alignment on both sides, verifying striker adjustment, inspecting the tailgate release switch and harness for intermittent shorts, and confirming proper lock actuator operation. Repairs may involve latch replacement, striker adjustment, harness repair, or switch replacement. If the truck has a bed accessory or tonneau cover, verify it is not preloading the tailgate and affecting latch engagement.
