I brought my 2017 NV 3500 SL to the dealer for this issue. They said Nissan does not yet have a solution for this issue but Nissan Engineering did acknowledge that the hesitation of shifting gears is the result of two computers talking to each other. I have not done my due diligence to see if the vehicle really does have two computers. I reported the hesitation to the dealer that I experienced was from 1,200 RPMs to 2,000 RPMs. They said it's the result of transitioning from one computer to another and both computers are unsure of how to handle the transition. I can't help but picture two baseball players trying to figure out who is gong to catch the pop fly and then finally one decides just before they collide.... I have the fan noise which I've posted about in another thread on this forum. I've not had a problem with the engine revving to 4,000 RPMs as someone else mentioned in this thread.

As I was signing the papers on my new NV Passenger 3500 SL back in May 2017, the dealer had their new guy run the NV through their car wash. The car wash damaged about a 2-3 foot long section of the back passenger side roof. Apparently the dealer had the upgraded heavy duty lifts and such to handle NVs but they had not yet upgraded their car wash machine. Luckily, another NV was in route to the dealer (even the same color) and replaced the damaged NV within a week. I've been hesitant to run it through any automatic car wash. I'll keep using my ladder. :)

I have the same loud fan noise issue. We bought our NV 3500 SL in May and immediately took it on a 1500 mile trip up north and back to Louisiana. I noticed the noise at highway speeds at first and it seems to be in sync with the air conditioning compressor. Turned off the a/c and sure enough the fan noise went away. Turn a/c back on and noise was present again. The noise is very noticeable at low speeds. For example driving slow through a parking lot and people are looking at us likely we're revving up the motor but it's just the fan. I took it into Nissan dealer immediately after the trip and once again later on to have them look at it and they say everything checks out fine. I even had a tech ride with me but he wouldn't comment on anything. I've also had the issue of a hesitation between 1200 and 2000 RPMs. Nissan says they are aware of the problem but do not have a fix for it. They say the hesitation is caused when the two onboard computers are trying to switch from one to another. Seems like Nissan should have figured this out before they started to sell the vehicle. Also seems like it should have showed up with all that extensive testing they advertise. My wife says there's an NV Facebook page where many people have complained about this and are sharing the same experiences. Hopefully, Nissan will get a fix soon. Love the vehicle otherwise.
