POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
My turbo actuator went out in 2022, paid $2,000 to get it fixed. A year later in 2023 it went out again and ruined both the low and high turbos, had to get them replaced again this time under warranty but Nissan of Dearborn in Dearborn, Michigan had my truck for 87 days before I got it back. They tried to tell me I needed a whole new engine block. I’m scared because if this happens again who is going to be held liable for it, me? Not to mention the damage it’s most likely caused on the engine block and crankshaft. The last thing I want is for that to break as I’m going down the highway.

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, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I have owned this vehicle since day one... this was meticulously maintained and serviced regularly. While sitting at an idle, with no prior warning, the vehicle just stopped running. After having diagnosed by a reputable diesel mechanic near me, it was determined that the CP4 fuel pump, known to be faulty in these and other trucks as well had failed. After extensive examination, it resulting in a catastrophic failure of the fuel system, ultimately requiring a $14, 000+ repair. (Unrealistic cost due to the current value of the truck being around $10k - $14k. Metal chards had been distributed all throughout the entire fuel system. This failure is unfortunately very common and Nissan or Cummins should be held accountable for this issue.

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
In November of 2022 we heard a knocking noise from the engine and then the low oil warning came on. Vehicle would then not start. When we towed it to the dealership they found noise from the bottom end and low oil pressure code P0524 and verified engine will not start and does make a bad knocking noise during short crank period. Determined the engine came apart internally and had large rod and main bearing material in oil pan loose metal ran through engine and engine will need to be replaced. We had all necessary warranty work done at the certified dealership and all oil changes were done as recommended, all documentation sent to dealership. Nissan would not cover the damage, we were 12,370 miles over warranty and still owed $24,000 on the vehicle. On April 4/17/2023 we paid $17,977 for a new engine on the truck. Upon our research this is a "known" issue with this engine and the crank shaft failing.

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
I stopped to get diesel and pulled onto the interstate. Within 2 miles of being on the interstate, the engine felt as though it downshifted, lost power, and stalled in a construction one lane zone with no way to get out of traffic. The engine would no longer turn over and the truck would not start. This was a danger, not only to me, but to other drivers on the interstate. Had taken 90 miles away to a certified diesel nissan dealership who said all of the fluids were good and the motor was locked solid. It was not covered by warranty ans was estimated to cost $32,000.00 to replace motor.

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.

Failure with injectors lead to broken crankshaft. Pics attached of broken crankshaft. I was driving at 70 mph and extreme vibration began to which i had to immediately pulled off the road. 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.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving on the highway at 70 mph and for no reason the emergency brake activated and stopped the truck. I am very scared because it has happened so many times. I always drive with my child on board, I am afraid that this will end in a rollover or death. At the time of the incident the truck is already done all recalls and updates softwares
