The 2014NISSANTITAN carries 12 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 3 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. For crash performance, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program gave this cohort an overall Not Rated/5 rating, with Not Rated/5 front crash, Not Rated/5 side crash, and 3/5 rollover scores derived from standardized barrier and dynamic tests.

Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2014 TITAN is service brakes with 3 filings, followed by unknown or other (2) and suspension (2). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 2 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.

NHTSA currently has 54 investigation files overlapping the 2014 TITAN, and 5 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. HE SAID THE COST TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART WOULD BE APPROX.$900.00.

TONNEAU COVER FLEW OFF BACK OF TRUCK ON BUSY HIGHWAY. CAR COMING BEHIND TRUCK HIT IT, ROLLED AND DID SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THEIR VEHICLE. ALL FOUR CLIPS WERE ON TONNEAU COVER, SO IF ONE CLIP CAME OFF, THE OTHER THREE SHOULD HAVE HELD COVER IN PLACE. SHORTLY AFTER THIS ACCIDENT, I WAS TOLD BY TWO OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED WITH THEIR TONNEAU COVER, HOWEVER, NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL THAT THE TRUCK LINER FLEW FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. THERE SHOULD BE SOME TIME OF SAFETY HARNESSES ON THESE TRUCK PARTS. THE BRACKETS THAT WERE USED TO HOLD DOWN THE TONNEAU COVER ON THE NISSAN TITAN WERE NOT USER FRIENDLY, NOR VERY ACCURATE FOR THE DANGERS THAT COULD OCCUR FROM THE COVER FLYING OFF THE VEHICLE. *TR
