Nissan TITAN hesitation during acceleration with suspected transmission issue on Nissan TITAN

Some Nissan Titan owners report experiencing hesitation during acceleration, which may be linked to transmission-related issues, particularly if the engine hesitates briefly when starting from a stop or merging onto the highway. Additionally, common causes of these acceleration problems include misfires, clogged air filters, dirty mass air flow sensors, clogged fuel filters, fuel pump malfunctions, and faulty oxygen sensors. Some owners notice that the engine cuts out under load, especially in hot weather, suggesting a specific condition may be triggering the issue. Jerking during acceleration is also reported, often associated with misfires. It is recommended that owners have their transmission system thoroughly inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve any underlying issues contributing to the hesitation.
