2014 Nissan Nv2500 problems
The Nissan NV (Nissan Van) is a full-size van produced by Nissan from 2011 to 2021. It was developed and marketed for the United States and Canada, where Nissan had not previously been present in the full-size segment. Until the introduction of the Nissan NV, Mexico was the only country in North America selling a full-size Nissan van, as the Nissan Urvan was sold there.
The NV nameplate was previously used by a small pickup truck sold in Thailand.
Development
The NV used the same F-Alpha platform as does the Nissan Titan full-size pickup, but due to the need for a flat loading floor it is highly modified and they end up sharing mainly powertrain pieces and some of the design language. The NV was also only available with rear-wheel drive, coupled to a five-speed automatic transmission (later also a seven-speed). The NV was not targeted directly at the (mainly fleet) buyers of the Ford E-Series and Chevrolet Express, but rather at private buyers including contractors and small business owners who are looking for a vehicle that is both capable and comfortable.
The 4.0-litre V6 engine outputs 261 hp (195 kW) and 281 lb⋅ft (381 N⋅m) of torque, while the 5.6-litre V8 engine outputs 375 hp (280 kW) and 387 lb⋅ft (525 N⋅m) of torque. The V8-engined versions are also electronically limited to a top speed of 100 mph (161 km/h).

Common 2014 Nissan Nv2500 problems
The Nissan NV2500, a full-size cargo van, was introduced in 2012 and is known for its reliability and versatility. However, there are a few common problems that some owners have reported, particularly with the 2014 model year.
One of the most frequently reported issues with the 2014 Nissan NV2500 is premature tire wear. CarComplaints.com has logged 34 complaints for this model year, with premature tire wear being the primary reliability concern. The problem seems to be related to suspension issues, with some owners reporting cupped tires and alignment problems. One owner reported that the rear tires wore out on the insides and cupped, indicating an alignment issue. This can be a significant concern for commercial vehicle owners who rely on their vehicles for daily operations.
Another issue that has been reported with the 2014 Nissan NV2500 is engine problems. A post on the Nissan NV Forum mentions that a 2013 NV2500 Van had major engine problems that would cost $3,000 to fix. The engine in question is a V-6, and the van was a rental unit from a big company. Nissan had maintained updated maintenance records for the vehicle, but the engine problems still occurred.
In addition to these issues, the 2014 Nissan NV2500 may also have transmission problems. A post on JustAnswer.com mentions that the transmission in a 2014 NV2500 Cargo Van is going fast, and the owner heard a rumor that Nissan extended the Powertrain coverage for this issue. However, there is no further information available on this issue.
It's important to note that the Nissan NV2500 has a reputation for reliability, and these issues are not necessarily widespread. However, potential buyers should be aware of these common problems and consider them when making their purchasing decision. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent these issues from becoming major problems, and prompt attention to any issues that do arise can help keep repair costs down.
