May 12, 2026Electrical system

ongoing electrical and ECM communication issues with my 2018 Nissan NV2500. The vehicle is experiencing serious fault codes involving loss of communication with the ECM/PCM and transmission control systems, creating a potential safety concern and reliability issue. The diagnostic scan produced the following active codes: U0100 – Lost Communication With ECM/PCM A U1000 – CAN Communication Circuit P1815 – Manual Mode Switch/Circuit / Computer Supply Voltage These faults indicate a failure in the vehicle’s electronic communication network and engine control communication system. The issue affects drivability and raises concerns about unexpected stalling, transmission malfunction, loss of power, and overall vehicle safety. The problems appear related to defective ECM communication circuitry, CAN bus communication failure, or associated wiring/electrical components. I understand similar Nissan vehicles have experienced communication and electrical system issues, and I am requesting that Nissan investigate whether this defect qualifies for recall coverage, warranty extension, or manufacturer assistance. Example. When im on the interstate and there's a slight incline the vehicle just shuts down it's still running but loses everything like it's in limp mode.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2018 Nissan Nv1500 verdict →
