POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The truck down shifted twice and then shut completely off while I was driving down the interstate. I was towed to Nissan in Springfield Missouri (closest to me) and they could not figure out the issue and charged me $500. I then towed the truck to Nissan of Jefferson city, Missouri, where I bought it. They inspected the motor and told me it was a complete loss. Metal in the oil pan from internal parts. They quoted me $39k for it to be replaced and I currently owe $30k on the truck. I only had this truck for 10 months when this failure occurred and left me and my family stranded. No check engine lights, odd noises or anything. Nissan has been reluctant to help and from what I've been reading this is a very normal occurrence for these trucks. I'm not sure what I'm going to do to get through this but I don't want it to happen to anyone else, so hopefully NHTSA can sort out this issue. Thank you.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The truck's engine died while traveling down the highway around 60 mph. I lost all power and struggled to pull to the side of the road avoiding traffic. there were no warning lights or engine lights before the truck died. There was only a slight vibration and loss of power. Once I stopped on the side of the road smoke started coming out from under the hood. The truck has been maintained well and taken care of and has 59,000 miles on it. I was told by a Nissan mechanic that the motor is locked up because of a broken crank, and they are still trying to see what happened with the electrical wiring that caused the fire. The truck is out of warranty and they informed me that a new motor would cost upwards of $25,000 dollars.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My vehicle was driving down the highway at 70 mph when without any warning the engine shut off resulting in the loss of power steering. I had to navigate through traffic to get to the shoulder of the road. I had the vehicle towed to Nissan dealership after a couple weeks I was made aware that the engine needed to be replaced. The truck suffered. A broken crankshaft and main fuel components were replaced as well.

ENGINE
I recently had a crankshaft failure in my 2016 Nissan Titan XD with only 87,000 miles. Nissan did not honor the 5yr/100k mile warranty due to me being over the time limit. This cost me nearly $11,000 out of pocket to buy a used replacement engine. Nissan is fully aware of the defect because they have revised components in the 2018/2019 trucks. There are hundreds if not in the thousands of us Titan XD owners who have suffered this costly error with no help.

The crank broke while driving on a 70 mph freeway and I almost got hit as I pulled over. The truck was under warranty, so the engine got replaced by Nissan. I suspect the leaking EGR cooler as the cause. Water doesn’t compress when ingested into the engine. There was no warning as to this failure. Was completely unexpected. This was a couple years ago, so I doubt the parts would be available for inspection.

ENGINE
While driving at highway speeds the vehicle began shaking violently. As I started to pull over, I lost all power, had difficulty steering and the brakes were barely effective. As I came to a stop, the engine locked up completely. The Nissan dealer confirmed that the engine was locked up due to either a main bearing seizure or completely broken crankshaft.
