ENGINE
Perfectly maintained vehicle, 68,000 mikes on the Nissan Titan XD Diesel- stock - drove it to work, then swapped with my son so he could barrow the truck as his was getting serviced- he owns a Lawncare company, he calls stating the truck lost power, started vibrating, and started banging while towing his equipment. No lights. We use a Banks Data monster- checked for codes, nothing, all temps normal - I monitor egr, engine, exhaust, and several others - all normal. Parked it - appears to be a broken crank. Just changed the oil the day prior. Been changing oil for 30+ years - always triple check levels - all correct. Use Shells best T6 fully synthetic, fleet guard filter and change every 6-7k.

ENGINE
Vehicle was well maintained and only drive it around 10,000 miles per year or less. Had no issues or warning signs, my truck just bogged down while going 65mph on the highway. By the time I pulled over and cut it off I checked all fluids and tried to turn it over again, all you hear is a heavy knocking sound like the engine was struggling. Took it to a mechanic shop and found out it had a broken crankshaft, it has under 50,000 miles!

POWER TRAIN
Nissan Titan Pro-4X 4WD was bought new from dealership. Have had issues with the truck downshifting hard when slowing down since purchase. The truck lurches forward under 5MPH - 10MPH and feels like you are being rearended by another vehicle. Identical issue to NHTSA complaints 11578467 and 11539769. Have voiced my concerns to the Nissan dealership I have maintenance completed at. They cannot recreate the problem or diagnosis the issue. They cited it may be a software issue. Have voiced concerns and continued issue with every standardized oil chain/tire rotation and scheduled maintenance appointments. No resolution to the issue has been made.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that the turbo stand, the liftgate latch, and the bolt had failed and were previously repaired. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system and the EGR cooler were leaking. The dealer determined that the DEF tank and the EGR cooler needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer for over 6 months. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered to partially cover the cost of the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The vehicle lurches forward during stopping for a traffic light, stop sign, etc. Feels like a possible transmission issue, like a hard downshift, but the lurch is a safety issue. Has been happeneing since the truck was purchased, and the dealer service has been unable to resolve. Service manager drove in the truck and confirmed the jolt forward. Forums indicate this issue is occurring with other 2024 Titan trucks. The lurch forward can interfere with stopping distance since the lurch is stronger than the braking efficiency during that sudden jolt. This issue has been ongoing since November 2023 with no resolution.

POWER TRAIN
Truck (intermittently) downshifts hard and (intermittently) lurches forward when coming to a complete stop. The issue is worse when stopping at a slower rate of speed than when from stopping abruptly (maybe because this is an issue shifting from 2nd into 1st at a slow speed rather than shifting from 3rd to 1st during a more aggressive quicker stop). Feels like the transmission is fluttering between park and 1st gear and (intermittently) at very slow stopping speeds and will give a sensation similar to that of being hit from behind. (Not saying this is happening, but rather what it feels like when this is happening). Seems like a gear alignment problem or a solenoid/shift module acting erratic. It does cause some concerning safety issues because it can unexpectedly "lurch" forward when coming to a stop and you may assume your fully stopped when a burst jolting you forward happens out of nowhere. This erratic behavior also makes me concerned about premature transmission wear and premature rear end gear wear due to the abrupt "clashing" and jolting of its gears. First reported this issue to a Nissan dealership at 500 miles and was told it was normal breaking in process and to put more miles in it. It continuous to be an issue to this day now with 4100 miles on it. I feel like the issue is causing premature transmission/rear end wear in addition to a potential safety issue. This issue happens only at very slow speeds however.

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.

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.
