Hi, my 2024 Pro 4X (4500 miles) keeps loosing power and the gas pedal does not respond synchronized with my foot , it’s totally out of control. Before this happens, I noticed the truck feels rough, like overworking, even if I the truck is not moving. If I had bubble head toys all over the dashboard, they all will be shaking.

When I turn the truck off for a minute then the gas pedal works again.

No engine light ever comes out.

If this happens again while driving on the fwy, I am screwed because it only allows me to drive at 40mph tops. I can’t drive faster cas de pedal is not responding.

Am I the only one e this problem on a 3rd gen.?
 
That’s an obvious major failure that can create a serious safety hazard. It’s still under warranty. Why would you even be asking on the internet instead of taking it straight to the dealership?
 
I am not asking for a solution. I am asking if I am the only one .
Understood. Reasonable. We see a few now and then to the contrary, but also, we are not above giving a wrong diag. Better than FB, but imperfect.

To the question, not a common failure from which to give a definitive response. We can only guess.

I though it could be a bad gasoline batch even though I always go to Chevron. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Dealer time, this isn't a common issue. RPMs max around 2500–3000 right? The ECM isn't liking something and putting you into limp mode. Weird there are no codes. Do you have a code reader?
Hi, I do but didn’t connect it because dash had no check engine light on.
RPM 1000-2000 even stepping all the way down .
Going uphill only let me go 40mph.

Got home, turned it off, and 5 minutes later worked fine again.

What worries me the most is the no engine light coming out . 😳 not even once. If Nissan tells me: “sorry we couldn’t duplicate the problem” , what should I do?

I drove it to the stealer on the streets( afraid of the fwy) but accelerated just fine. (We Frontier owners know the acceleration is not that great 🙄).

Try the reader anyways, there could be a DTC hiding in there, or for whatever reason it doesn't have enough to trigger the CEL.

If it doesn't replicate at the dealer, CONSULT may have extra insights, or they'll do a live data drive and see if it's all behaving.

Nothing you can do. The independent's will tell you the same thing and eventually be into you for hundreds with the wild goose chase.
Worst comes to worst drive if off enough distance from where you live, torch it and report it stolen to the police and file it off on your insurance.

I know, it sounds bad, I'm just trying to be straight up with you. You have to feel confidence in your vehicle, what you have described can get you killed.
If it keeps happening, I will tow it to them from farther and farther away and will make them pay for it.
They can’t say no if the truck only have 4500 miles on it.(1st owner)
 
Next time it happens pull your phone out and try to get video of it. Chances are the dealer won't be able to replicate it while you're there and there is no check engine light for them to check so you will want to have something to show them.

Sounds about right Fuzzy but as they say opinions are like -ssholes everyone has one. The dealer knows what it is, they also know Nissan ain't paying for it. You either have to replace the entire computer system or chase it down to what is causing it. We are talking 5 figures here.
Truck is under warranty. Why wouldn’t Nissan fix it for free? (Truck is 1 year old 4500 miles). 🤔

I do have a 45 seconds video showing the gauges going crazy. 😎
I might have to edit the audio of myself speaking French 🤬f}#%
