I have a few things going on. Going in tomorrow to get it all checked out.

1) Tire pressure monitors are not reading
2) Remote start not working
Both happened at the same time, so I'm assuming they are somehow related electronic glitches
3) I have a fairly loud squeak/chirp when going over small choppy bumps. Can't tell which end its coming from.
4) I asked them to check the transmission TSB but they are saying that there is nothing for my VIN.

What is your build date?

what is your build date?

3/17

3/17

The transmission TSB is not VIN specific. They said the same thing to me when I first mentioned it. I have a 4/17 build date. Are you unhappy with how it shifts or have you justs read about the TSB? I only ask because the TSB can actually make shifting performance worse...I found out the hard way.

Only one of my TPMs went out, the right rear I believe a couple months after I purchased the truck. They ordered a replacement part and two days later installed a new one and everything has worked fine. I had a serious rattle and that only occurred on choppy bumps and it turned out that the right side passenger step was loose and some chops were just sufficient to cause the sound.

Yes, I notice times when it feels like its a couple gears too high, and I need to really romp on it to get it to shift. That's really my only complaint. I was thinking about trying to drive around town in tow mode, but its hard to remember to do that all the time.

They said that 1 sensor was bad, and they had to overnight one in. Have not heard from them today yet. Its a fairly small dealership and I think this is probably one of the first 2017s they've worked on. They also "think" the remote start issue is related. I find it a little hard to believe that one bad TPMS sensor would take out the whole system, plus the remote start, but I guess you never know.

So my latest update:
This dealership is about 45 min away from me. My neighbor took my truck out for this service because he works there...he's a vice president in a group of about 10 dealerships, including this one.

So...on Thursday they gave him the keys and said "all set, except we couldn't find the squeak". So he handed the keys back and told them to find it and fix it. So after not being able to find it on Friday, apparently a Nissan "engineer" is coming today to look at it and approve the warranty costs of tearing it apart and finding it. I thought this was a little odd, but with a new truck, maybe they want to figure all this stuff out.

I'll keep everyone posted on the developments.....

So....the culprit of the squeak was a loose skid plate of all things!

Went to my kid's soccer game, came back and BAM! There's my truck. They delivered it back to me. I havn't seen the paperwork to see if they did the TSB. Only drove it 5 miles this morning, so I couldn't really tell.

So, did the dealership find this on their own, or did the "engineer" find it?

Apparently the engineer found it using a microphone attached in various places on the truck and headphones while driving it, which led them to 'something in the middle of the truck'.
