Common Problem
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) Malfunction
One of the most prevalent issues reported with the 2020 Nissan Terra is the malfunctioning of the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system. Owners have experienced the AEB light and malfunction warning appearing intermittently, which can be frustrating as it often doesn't affect vehicle performance but indicates a glitch in the computer system. This problem has been acknowledged by dealers as common, yet the exact cause remains unclear, potentially involving radar, sensors, or camera malfunctions.
Transmission Overheating
Another issue noted is related to transmission overheating, especially when using manual transmission mode on steep roads. The Terra lacks a transmission oil cooler, which can lead to overheating during gear hunting on mountainous terrain. It's advised to let the automatic transmission manage itself and use manual mode primarily for overtaking.
Infotainment System Glitches
The infotainment system in the Nissan Terra can randomly glitch, particularly during heavy rain. While this may not be a critical issue, it can be inconvenient for users relying on the system for navigation and entertainment.
Idling Issues
Some owners have reported fluctuating idle engine sounds without triggering a check engine light. This could be due to a vacuum leak in the intake or evap system, although fluctuations might also occur due to electrical events like AC cycling or cooling fans switching on/off.
General Reliability Concerns
While the Terra is praised for its comfort and features like cold air conditioning and wide seats , there are concerns about its reliability and maintenance costs compared to other brands like Toyota. Drum brakes on the rear are also mentioned as a potential drawback.
