ENGINE
Driving down highway lost power, pulled over halfway off road, attempted to restart. Was able to start and move ten feet, then shut off and would not restart. There was no warning before hand. Took to independent mechanic and disassembled the engine. Crankshaft was broken in three places. Contacted dealership and was no longer warrantied. Mechanic could not find reason for failure, he thought it might be harmonic based failure. Purchased and installed a used engine. Disappointed in parts availability from Nissan.

POWER TRAIN
Early 2024, winter: Transfer case has only ever been used twice, and it failed. The entire transfer case had to be replaced. Case was replaced by an authorized Nissan dealership. This is a known problem by Nissan, just like the terrible 5.0 diesel engine.

Was driving down the road on January 1, 2022 headed home and truck seized accelerating and once I pulled over the road. Truck shut down, wouldn’t turn on. Took it to a diesel shop and they told me the crankshaft had seized. Paid over $14k to get it rebuilt at ONLY 67k miles on my 2016 Nissan Titan XD. Almost caught on fire as I tried turning on since I did not know what the issue was at first.

ENGINE
Was driving down the highway and I heard a loud banging out of nowhere from my engine. Whole truck shut off in the middle of the highway I pulled it over to side of road and called a tow truck. They took it to a dealer ship and I was told my crank was broken and they wanted 20,000 to replace whole motor. There was no warning lights nothing it just happened out of nowhere at 101,000 miles so I missed my warranty by 1,000 miles and had to pay 20,000 dollars to fix a truck that’s not even worth 20,000 any more.

ENGINE
The crankshaft broke. The truck was operating normally and is regularly driven. A loud banging noise was heard and the truck lost power while running. Smoke came from the tailpipe and the check engine light came on. The truck was operating normally until this incident. If this had occurred on the interstate it would have posed a significant safety risk to the occupants and other vehicles.

ENGINE
Driving down the highway at around 70mph. Suddenly the engine started making a loud clattering noise and shut off, leaving me without power steering and I could barely control the vehicle to get off the highway safely. When I finally came to a stop I tried to start the truck and it wouldn’t start. I had it towed to my house where it has sat for the last 7 months.

Luckily no other vehicles were around me. This is a known defect from Nissan that they refuse to acknowledge. No warning lights or engine malfunctions preceded this, very dangerous.

ENGINE
Without warning I had a loss of power while driving followed moments later by the engine completely shutting down and failure to restart causing vehicle to stop in the middle of the road because I had no power steering or breaking. Using an OBD2 scanner I was able to recover the following code "P0087 Fuel Rail Pressure/System -Too Low Bank ". Upon trying to restart the vehicle to no avail it gave this code "P00C6 Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low - Engine Cranking Bank 1". Using an Auto Agent EZ Lynk I was able to see the fuel pump was putting out 125PSI but the Injector pump has a desired output 4.5kPSI but was only putting out 0.3kPSI and wouldn't increase pressure during cranking. After talking to my local Nissan dealership service department I was told it appeared that either the injector pump or the motor had failed. The oil and filter was change on [XXX] and fuel filters were changed on [XXX]. And has always been changed at ORR Nissan in Searcy Arkansas. If this had happened as I was going down a major highway or interstate it could have resulted in a major accident with possible injury or death due to the loss of steering.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Went to pull out onto main road and the truck refused to accelerate instead it started to miss and lose power then the check engine light came on and the Reduce Engine Power warning was displayed. Shortly after that the truck died and will not start. A scan of the engine codes reveled a P0087 Fuel Rail/System pressure Too Low Bank 1 code. It appears that the Bosch CP4 Fuel Injector pump failed. Right before the engine died there was loud noises coming from the drivers side of the truck which sounded like it was coming from the engine compartment.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
While driving my 2016 Nissan Titan XD Cummins (86,000 miles) on the highway, the engine started making a loud clacking noise, followed by a loud breaking or displacement sound. The check engine light did not come on, and the truck did not go into limp mode. Possible issues might be crankshaft or bearing failure, piston or connecting rod damage, or a valve train problem. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. There were no prior warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms before this failure. The problem has not yet been inspected or confirmed by a dealer or service center.
