ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
1. The Crankshaft failed. The vehicle is available for inspection. Nissan has confirmed Crankshaft and engine to be unrepairable. 2. Event happened on a weekend late afternoon on a busy highway bridge. The titan was driving in the far left lane at 65-70 mph. Had to maneuver 2 lanes over down the bridge with no power to the engine. Safety for myself and many others on the highway bridge were put into danger as they had to maneuver out of my way while also driving around 65-70mph. Tow truck company also put in danger due to the busy nature of the highway when picking up vehicle. 3. Yes the problem cannot be reproduced because the vehicle is un-drivable. It has been confirmed by a dealer. 4. Yes the vehicle has been inspected at the local Nissan dealership. They stated the Crank shaft failed which led to the engine becoming unrepairable. 5. There were zero warning signs. I did not receive a single warning lamp, message or symptom. The vehicle experienced violent shaking followed by complete loss of power on the highway bridge, causing the engine to shut down. The titan had received all routine maintenance at the local Nissan dealership.

CRANKSHAFT FAILURE LUCKILY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP COULD GET IT IN AND THEN TOWED TO THE DEALEREDHIP - EXTENDED WARRANTY WON'T PAY FOR THE NEW ENGINE CLAIMING IT IS OWNERS FAULT. NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAYING IT ISN'T OWNERS FAULT IT IS A FAILURE BECAUSE THE TRUCK HAD OIL AND LUBRICATION. SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE ON THIS MODEL AND NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE THE BLAME. NOW OUT A TRUCK AND STILL HAVE A TRUCK PAYMENT CERTAINLY DON'T HAVE $35000 FOR A NEW ENGINE.

i HAVE A 2016 NISSAN TITAN XD PRO 4x. that had engine failure at 106k miles due to bearing and crank shaft damage. this is a non engine and was denied repair from Nissan. A engine should last longer than this. Took over 2 years for parts and $20k out of my pocket. Now the turbo has bearing issue that's been failing since day one and Nissan failed to remedy the issue. This truck was a lemon from day one. Thousand of customer have the same issue. Nissan needs to stand behind the product.

Good Afternoon, My brother was driving my Nissan Titan XD 5.0 Cummins Diesel from Naples, FL to Ft . Lauderdale FL , and the truck was running fine at around 70-80 mph with no issues .As soon as he proceeded to the exit in Lauderdale around 60mph, all of a sudden truck flashed all kinds of warning lights came on randomly and motor shut down . Smoke coming from starter and solenoid below the fuse box. He is an engineer for North Collier Fire and put out the flames immediately . I took the motor in to shop and they found the motor was seized up and burned harness near starter. I went to a few mechanic shops including Nissan and no one could give me a solid answer on what had happed with the truck , besides that it just seized up . No one would take blame. I was trying to do some research on these trucks and found numerous owners had the same problems as me. I hope no one gets hurts further from the malfunction of these vehicles . My brother was very lucky to get off off the road. Please look into these safety matters and find out who/or what companies should be held responsible. Thank you for your consideration with this matter, [XXX]

ENGINE
I was driving the truck down the interstate with the cruise set at 70-75 mph and without warning, the truck starts shaking violently and making very loud noises from the wngine and then the engine shuts off and power steering is lost while traveling at highway speeds in traffic. The failure was diagnosed as a crankshaft failure which snapped the crankshaft in the engine. The quote from Nissan to replace the engine out of warranty varies between 35k-42k which TOTALS this vehicle for an engine failure that they are at fault for. Nissan knowingly sold vehicles with faulty engines by putting the safety concerns and financial burden for the public to the wayside. This needs to be addressed soon before someone is seriously injured due to Nissan’s negligence and recklessness for customer safety.

I have a 2017 titan xd that has had catastrophic turbo failures 4 times now on 162,000 miles. Roughly every 40,000 miles which is absolutely ridiculous. They have refused to acknowledge a manufacturing defect at my dealer and at the national level now telling me it will be 13,000$ to fix it again with the same faulty product that I'll have to fix again next year for another$13,000 or worse a fully failed engine and unusable truck. The turbo fails with very little warning, no lights and when the turbos fail it kills the trucks power and makes maneuvering to safety very difficult.
