Engine failure -I was driving about 45-50 mph and as I was approaching a four way intersection with a stop sign approaching in my direction of travel. As I came to a stop, the engine locked up and could not be restarted. Leaving my truck dead in the middle of the road. After having it towed to a friend's shop I removed the oil pan, only to find a alot of copper colored metal shavings all throughout. I have an obd2 scan tool with live monitoring called a BlueDriver which connects via Bluetooth to my phone and allows me to monitor different sensors and checks for any trouble codes that the truck may currently have. I had this app open and was monitoring about 6 different sensors at the time. The truck never showed any signs of anything unusual or out of the ordinary. I also never had any warnings or the check engine light come on. After joining a few Facebook groups and online fourms, and I realized this was not a very rear occurrence and that many others have experienced similar engine failures as well.

ENGINE
The engine crankshaft failed and broke in half while driving. I was driving on the New Jersey turnpike on cruise control with a trailer and a mower and all of a sudden the motor is making [XXX] noises and I lose engine power completely. This is a huge defective part and one of the main components of a motor that should not fail and break in half like it did. It’s a major catastrophic failure that should be resolved with a recall. The danger and risk that involves this issue is ridiculous and it should be resolved immediately. I have kept up on my services like I should the truck has been well taken care of. After research I have seen there has been alot of people with the same issue with very low miles. Even with higher miles this issue should not happen. The cost of this repair is outrageous no vehicle owner should pay that on their own specially when they still owe a lot of money on the vehicle. There were no fatalities in my incident but there could have been and it could have been bad. The manufacturer needs to take responsibility with this issue and fix it and prevent future incidents and hopefully save a life if it occurs.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, POWER TRAIN
I am the owner of a 2016 Nissan Titan xd, which has a 5.0 diesel engine. I have concerns reading about the current status of a preliminary investigation by your agency regarding the crankshaft breakdown while driving without or warning. My vehicle has 57,000 miles, and while I still have not suffered breakdown I do Have concerns on the safe driving this Titan XD. I purchased this vehicle to travel towing a travel trailer, and traveling with our grandchildren. I reading what other Titan owners have indicated, I now have concern on the safety of traveling in highways and suffering such a breakdown. I also travel on mountain roads to reach vacation sites around our area, and having no control in such conditions make me unsure of the safe travels. I worry on my $52,000 investment may be non dependable, or unsafe to use. i am requesting a your agency find a conclusion to the investigation as soon as possible, as the safety of owners, and other drivers could be in danger. I welcome updates of the progress of the investigation via email [XXX] , or mail box [XXX] . I also welcome phone contact at [XXX] . Thank you for your agency service to protect the welfare and safety of Highway, and vehicle hazards.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I purchased this vehicle in 2022 with 62000 miles on it for $45000, cash first newer vehicle ever paid for in cash, 1st day i drove it, check engine light for turbo failure came on, i normally put 80-100k miles on a vehicle per year, ive owned over 200 diesel vehicles in last 25 years, never have i had one stay in the shop more than driving it. Not only does it stay in the shop, but you have to locate a shop that still has a diesel technician employed. Two turbo actuator replacements, lift pump replacement, 18 shop visits for check engine lights, 5 times in a row at buford ga nissan, drove away and light came back on before making it home. [XXX] my family and I was driving to florida , doing 55mph, No check engine lights, no noises, no warnings, motor shut down in 21 degree weather, side of [XXX] in tucker georgia for 4 hours waiting for a tow truck, only thing on screen was DEF error see dealer immediately, $550 to tow vehicle back to my house because closest dealership did NOT have a diesel tech, spent two months to find a company that would tow my truck 55 miles from gainesville georgia to roswell georgia to regal nissan, the girl called me and said it needed a starter for $900plus dollars, i laughed and said there's no way in hell a starter caused this motor to die, i informed her that if starter did Not work i was not paying, two days later she calls me back up and informs me the motor is locked up, does not know why, but pay them $178 diagnosis fee, and for $1300-$2000 they could tell me exactly what failed, if u read online, trucks like mine fail between 50000-100000 miles with no warning no nothing! i am now stuck with another $330 tow bill to pick vehicle up and store it at my shop and pray that your organization can hold NIssan accountable, Nissans recommendation was for $30000 to put the exact same unmodified garbage of a motor back in this truck, please somebody hold this company accountable!!!!!! thanks INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ENGINE
I was traveling on the freeway at 75 miles per hour, the truck began to bog down for a few seconds then started to shake violently as if a tire was falling off, a few seconds later the engine shut off at maybe 60 miles per hour. I was unable to steer or brake properly and had very little control of where I was able to pull over. I had no power at all and the truck would not start. I was stuck on [XXX] in central Utah with drivers side tires of the truck in traffic on the right lane unable to pull over more or move the truck to a safe location. My wife and daughter were in the vehicle and I made them exit the vehicle and find a somewhat safe place to sit on the side of the freeway. It failed completely without and check engine light, the engine temperature never spiked until after it failed. The vehicle was obstructing traffic for 45 minute to an hour while I waited for a small town mechanic to come and tow it. This incident occurred the end of May 2023 and the truck is still not functioning as I cannot afford the $18-22,000 engine replacement for a broken crankshaft. The vehicle has 77,000 miles on it. It failed without any warning signs and definitely put my life, my families life, and 1000's of passing motorists at risk for an hour straight as the vehicle was incapacitated and obstructing traffic. I have read 100's of forum posts an articles concerning this same issue with zero concern from Nissan. The local dealerships claim they have never heard of this issue, but it is a known issue and could cause a fatal or catastrophic accident.
