ENGINE
1. Turbo Actuator / Dealer is currently replacing the defective part. 2. When this part fails, you lose throttle control and acceleration capabilities. This part failed on me at highway speeds, and I had to drift over several lanes of high-speed traffic. I was unable to control the speed of my vehicle, with no ability to accelerate. 3. Not sure if they duplicated or are replacing the part solely by the check engine code of P00AH DTC (Check engine code). 4. It is a known issue with Nissan, and they have extended warranty coverage for 2016 and 2017 model year Titans with the diesel motor, but have refused to address it with the 2018 model, even with the same symptoms and DTC. 5.No, when the failure occurred, the check engine light came on, and the truck lost power. Occurred around September 25, 2025, mileage is 61,489. A claim was filed with Nissan North America under case # 55882533, and they have denied to cover the repair.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
I tow full-time as a working nomad. My truck has gone into limp-mode (low-power mode) onto a complete loss of power. I have been stranded on 3 difference occasions. The issue first began at 75,000 miles which I have records of. After this most recent incident, I realized there was a pattern emerging. After further research, I have discovered that there is a lawsuit out for these CP4 fuel systems. I called Nissan and opened a case number. They processed and then stated that they will not assist me since I am not over 100k miles. My odometer is currently at 105K miles. I am not sure if it is safe to drive my truck and I need to relocate soon. What options do I have? Can anything be done about this? From what I am reading online, this is a $10,000 - $15,000 to fix, let alone the thousands of dollars I have already spent on varying part replacements. Nissan/Cummins designed this truck to work with the fuel being sold in Europe. The fuel in the US does not offer the lubrication required to function properly and it’s causing friction on metal which is sending metal shavings in through the fuel system. The fuel filters cannot handle the debris. The only warning signs I received from the vehicle was a dash warning stating low power / no power mode had been engaged as I lost power and had to roll to a stop on the side of the road. Thankfully I was able to get over to safety each time. Then, I stayed stranded on the side of the road (single female traveling alone with dogs) until I was able to figure things out. Nissan refused to tow or offer any support. Existing Lawsuit: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Check engine light went on and the Truck went into low power mode. Took it to an independent service center and it was no longer throwing the code. It happened a couple more times, took it to the dealership and the diagnostic was: Setting in ECM., Actuator is Binding causing DTC and vehicle to go into Reduced Power Mode. This seams to be a very common issue in Nissan Titan XD's. Maybe should be a recall? A very pricy repair for a vehicle that only has 45000 miles on it.

POWER TRAIN, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I have noticed this problem a few times, specifically in highway traffic. When getting back up to speed, i have noticed my 2022 Nissan Titan suddenly jerk as I am accelerating back up to the posted speed limit. This has happened a few times. First time I did not pay it to much consideration, but now it's something that worries me. I have also noticed my Automatic Cruise control is having issues staying on when activated. I turn it on, but when I go to set the vehicle speed, I will sometimes get a malfunction warning. I love using the Automatic Cruise Control for its safety and to set the speed limit when I drive

POWER TRAIN
Erratic shifting. As an example, while attempting to pass at highway speeds, the transmission will not downshift responsively (or downshift to low gears/high rpm) leading driver to abandon the pass due to time lag, lack of confidence and power gain loss/stress. Other examples, this 7speed transmission will rev spike at low gears like it was slipping or confused, then it corrects itself. If you have cruise control enabled, the transmission seems to downshift on minor hill climbs, which is not something a normal driver would do. Overall, this transmission and TCM have had issues and recalls in the year prior to this model and in my opinion the flaws continue to exist and need a recall.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I am experiencing engine stalling. I have also experienced dome light flickers or not turning on on occasion along with radio and phone charge connection not always working, like a short of some sort. Also the mirror button allowing the driver and passenger side mirrors to open close sometimes fails as if wiring is OK sometimes and other times not There is not an exact date for the issues as they have occurred on and off since 2019 I did take the truck into Nissan 11/2023 as the radio blacked out and would not turn on. I was told the Main Harness had a shorted out wire and a jumper wire should be installed. Nissan installed a jumper wire for the radio. Occasional flickering lights, charging connections, mirror operations, and engine stalling still remained.

POWER TRAIN
When coming to a stop, my truck will lurch forward and will pull through normal braking, requiring increased braking pedal force to avoid a front collision. This does not happen at every stop, but often enough to be extremly concerning. This has been occurring since I bought the truck new. Truck now has just under 5,000 miles on the odometer and has not improved. I need a solution as I cannot allow anyone in my family to drive my truck for fear of accident.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I have a 2023 Nissan Titan XD 4x4. Recently I have experienced a major malfunction with the automatic braking system. While driving the vehicle I have experienced several times that the front left wheel is locking up briefly and pulling me sharply to the left. I have almost slid into other vehicles and guardrails during this malfunction. I immediately brought it to my local Nissan dealer,(Coggin Nissan) in Jacksonville Fl. and reported the problem on three occasions. They offered no findings or solutions to correct the problem. They take it for a short test drive and state everything is working properly. I explained this is a random problem and usually occurs when taking right hand curves and has caused me to lose control of the vehicle. Nothing has been done by the dealer to remedy the problem though most online forums point to a wheel speed sensor. I have also relayed that when its raining and this happens the front crash detector symbol illuminates briefly and I've shown them a picture taken from my cell phone. I feel any further driving of this vehicle puts myself, my family and other drivers at risk.

POWER TRAIN
The automatic transmission in my 2024 Nissan Titan PRO-4X intermittently malfunctions when slowing to a stop. As the vehicle decelerates to about 1–2 mph, there is a distinct “bump” or “lurch” as if the truck has been lightly rear-ended. The sensation occurs most often at traffic lights or rolling stops. •Component/system failed: Power Train – Automatic Transmission (9-speed). Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. •Safety risk: The unexpected jolt can cause distraction and abrupt braking. It raises concerns about long-term durability and could increase the risk of a rear-end collision in traffic. •Reproduced/confirmed: Yes. I reported this under warranty to a Nissan dealer. The dealer replaced a transmission bracket, but the issue persists. The downshift/lurch can still be reproduced. •Inspected by others: The dealer service department has inspected it. Manufacturer has not provided a lasting fix. •Warning lamps/messages: No warning lights or diagnostic messages appear before, during, or after the issue. •First appearance: Issue began when I purchased the vehicle (at approx 4700 miles) and continues intermittently (currently 19000 Miles). •Similar complaints: Other 2024 Nissan Titan owners have reported the same problem publicly, describing the downshift bump/lurch at low speed. Earlier Titan model years (2020–2023) had recalls and TSBs for TCM/ECM software updates (e.g., Campaigns R22B1, R22A9; TSBs NTB21-028A, NTB22-085) addressing low-speed hesitation and harsh downshifts. My request: I am requesting NHTSA investigate whether the 2024 Titan shares the same transmission calibration defect as prior years and determine if Nissan must provide updated software or other corrective measures to fix this unsafe low-speed downshift behavior. Thank you

ENGINE
V8 endurance engine has a known defect with scaring of cylinder 7 causing knocking in the engines and engines replacements. I purchased this Titan brand new in 2017. It required a brand new engine at 18,000 miles that was covered by the warranty. That engine developed another knock that required another engine replacement at 89,000 miles. Initially Nissan refused to cover as the truck was more than 5 years old even though the miles were well below 100,000 manufacturer warranty. I have found that these are bad engines that dealership is continue to install in these trucks even knowing that it could develop another knock. Other engine manufacturers refused to work on these engines due to this known defect. Nissan has thus far refused to recall this engine. The replacement cost is $18,000 without warranty.

There is a known issue by Nissan regarding many issues with the XD Diesel platform trucks. Mine is a castrophic engine failure at 76,237 miles. There was a recall previously on turbos for many 2016s & 2017s. One is not showing up for mine and as I bought the truck used can not confirm or deny my truck was one effected by this recall. I was driving and heard a light thump and had just had my tires rotated. It sounds like a tool or piece of rubber was inside the tire. I got out and made sure tires were on tight. Got back in the truck and got an engine loss of power warning and then the "oil pressure low stop vehicle" warning. I immediately pulled over and called insurance company for a tow. My truck now sits at the dealership needing a new motor and 2 turbos to the estimated cost of $39,850.
