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.

Loud noise and engine kept running but was unresponsive. Was traveling about 70 mph just coasted off the interstate. Was pulling my pontoon boat back to the lake during rush hour if I hadn’t been at an exit might have turned out different. Had it towed to nearest Nissan dealership and was told right away camshaft was broken and engine would have to be replaced.

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]

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45–50 MPH and hauling 2,000 additional pounds, the vehicle experienced a catastrophic failure with the turbo and the turbo became inoperable. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The driver was able to drive approximately 4–6 MPH to the residence. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the turbo needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. Additionally, while receiving routine maintenance, the lift pump failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no additional assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 73,646.

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.

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.

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.

I was driving down the road at 55mph when there started to become a loud knocking noise from the engine. After about a mile message came across the dash that said reduced engine power and 2 seconds later the entire engine shut off wouldn't turn back on or crank. There were about 20 different check engine codes at the time. I had the vehicle towed to the dealer where they did an inspection the following week and said the motor blew due to a snapped crank shaft and would need an entire new engine.
