Seeking Advice on 2018 Nissan Titan's Excessive Bounce and Warning Light Issues

Hey there! I've had a similar issue with my 2016 Nissan Frontier. I'd say I have some experience with cars, tinkering on the weekends and such. Just like your Titan, my Frontier suddenly turned into a bouncing castle too, and had a warning light popping up now and then on the dash. Turned out, the drama was because of a defective cable connection. So, don't panic too soon. I took it to my trusty workshop, where they pinpointed the issue pretty quickly - bang on, it was a cable connection just as I imagined. They fixed it while I waited. Set me back about 155 Euro, but at least I rediscovered the joy of driving smoothly since. Hope this helps! But, to give more precise advice, can you share what specific warning light was showing up? And have you noticed any other issues? Like maybe weird noises or anything unusual under the hood?

Appreciate your response! It's quite helpful to know that it could be a connection problem. A related light problem I'm facing is the check engine light specific to the suspension system. As I drive more, it keeps flickering on and off. Besides, there haven't been any weird noises or any unusual activity under the hood that I've noticed. Let me give a bit more context. My Titan's last service was at 160126 KM, and since then, the bounce and the flashing light is persisting, even though it was running smoothly before the said service. I guess I'll take it to a garage soon and perhaps a cable check is in order. Not looking forward to the bill now that you mentioned it though! Cheers for the advice!

Hey, glad to help! As a fellow Nissan owner, I feel your pain. The check engine light flickering on and off is definitely concerning, especially with it being specific to the suspension system - and paired with the excessive bouncing, it's even more worrying. Given your Titan's last service and the problems that have come up since, it might be that something went wrong during the service. Maybe a part replacement they forgot to tighten, or possibly a cable that got disconnected accidentally. The excessive bounce and the warning light flickering could be linked, signaling something's amiss with the suspension or chassis system. My advice, head to the garage as soon as you can. Describe the symptoms in as much detail as possible - the bouncing, the warning light, the service history - the more info they have, the better. And while it may cost a pretty penny, remember that safety comes first! A bounce-free, light-free ride is worth the expense. Keep us updated on what you find out, and I hope the fix is a simple and affordable one for you! Stay safe and happy motoring!

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to respond, friend! Your detailed explanation makes me feel a lot better about the situation. It really seems like a trip to the repair shop is due. Like you pointed out, I'll try to provide them with the most accurate information. And yeah, ultily it's all about safety. I just hope it's not a big, complicated issue - fingers crossed! I'll be sure to keep everyone here in the loop after my Titan gets checked out. Might turn out to be useful info for someone else in the same boat. Until then, happy cranking! Cheers, and thanks again for the helpful advice!
