ENGINE
During cruising at 70mph on the interstate, vehicle started making some noise from the engine and 5 miles later locked up completely leaving me stranded. This is a known issue with the 5.0 Cummins. My safety and the safety of others was put at risk through the vehicle being disabled on the side of the highway all of the sudden during rush hour traffic. Problem was confirmed at a dealer. No warning lamps or messages prior to complete engine failure, just some slight noise from the engine a few minutes before.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
While driving my car would almost stall on the highway, if I gave it gas while merging onto the highway it doesn't respond and then almost stall, but then respond after 2 seconds when it was not as clear to merge on the highway. I have had to replace the battery twice and been stranded in the last 3 years, the engine would pretend to start but not kick over. I have seen that this is a common problem when looking into Nissan TItan Forums

STEERING
Original Problem: 2017 Nissan Tital Truck - Miles: 82706 Issue 1) Purchased the vehicle and owner of the Nissan dealership stated it had a "bumper-to-bumper" 100,000 miles warranty on this model truck. He never mentioned the warranty expired after 5 years in December 2022. Issue 2) Power Steering pump started making a "growling" noise Went to the local Nissan dealership and they determined a seal in the pump needed to be replaced. Found out that the seal has been back ordered from Nissan Japan due to the "high demand and part failure". Local dealership wanted to replace the entire rack & pinion system at a cost of several thousands of dollars. Contacted the Nissan Corporation to help with the warranty issue and replace only the defective seal. Local dealership will not call me now that I took the issues to Nissan Corporation. Nissan is stating that there are 67 seals on back order due to the high volume of requests and I'm now with a truck I haven't been able to drive for 3 weeks. Please look into this seal failure for a recall because I cannot afford to replace the entire rack & pinion system with 9 hours of labor cost at $200 per hour plus the cost of the entire rack & pinion assembly when I only need the seal replaced!! please help

ENGINE
Recently took the truck to get serviced a month ago. Two weeks ago I was coming back home and the motor let out and had a loud banging noise which I assumed to be a bearing or crank shaft failure. Upon getting it to a dealership they inspected it and pulled the oil pan to find metal shavings all in the turbos and oil.

vehicle has 2900 miles, it has a noticeable hum/whining sound coming from rear end area. sound is very pronounced at 46-50 mph under throttle. Issue has been addressed with a local dealership. They found metal shavings in the rear end assembly. Their assessment is such that the rear differential has prematurely failed. They recomend replacing the rear differential carrier at 2900 mi, mind you. That said, they warned the vehicle has the potential of causing a "lock up" but have made no concerted effort to actually replace the part. instead, they claim the part is order

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The issues I'm experiencing with this vehicle is delayed pedal response and a whole slew of transmission problems. There are no codes or check engine lights on. When coming to a stop and the vehicle downshifts you can visibly see the RPMs go up with each down shift and sometimes the downshift is so harsh going to 1st gear that it feels like another vehicle has bumped me from behind causing the truck to jerk forward and make a clunking sound. There is also a problem when upshifting where the RPMs will jump up before shifting into the next gear. I had a situation where I was turning left on a green light with traffic coming and had plenty of time to make it but when I rolled out into the intersection and hit the gas nothing happened for over 2 seconds. The RPMs didn't move and when I pressed the gas harder the vehicle went into a low gear and the RPMs shot up to about 5000 RPMs and accelerated rapidly to just miss an incoming vehicle. Vehicle has inconsistent shifting where it shifts ok one day and other days it acts erratically. I have been to two different dealerships and both say the truck drives as designed. I have had all the software updates done on this truck that were supposed to correct these issues but they have not helped. I opened up a case with Nissan support and they admitted these transmission problems were being addressed by their engineering team and a new software update would be available some point in the future, this was a year ago.

ENGINE
The crankshaft snapped and locked up the motor. My safety was at risk as well as oncoming traffic because it could have caused an accident when locking up the motor. It has been confirmed by a local diesel mechanic. There was no warning at all, I was driving down the highway at 75 and as I started to go up an incline the truck had to downshift and it started to knock loud and then froze up and the truck came to a fast stop.

In cold weather, generally below freezing, the tailgate of the 2019 Titan will not open. When attempting to open the tailgate, the latch is lifted up, but the tailgate will not open. However, once the temperature rises to high 20's, low 30'sF, the tailgate will open on its own. I believe lifting the tailgate latch puts this sequence into motion. In the first incident, I tried to open the tailgate in cold weather, it would not open. Then, while traveling down a highway, the tailgate opened by itself resulting in several large toolboxes spilling out of the bed and onto the highway. I was not aware of this until I got to my office. The truck was taken to a Nissan dealer who replaced the electrical and mechanical tailgate locking mechanisms (under warranty) in January 2024. Now, in January 2025, with the recent cold spell in the northeast, the tailgate again would not open. And as before, later the tailgate fell open on its own (thankfully there was noting in the bed of the truck). I took the truck to the same Nissan dealership and explained that tailgate problem was not fixed. The technician looked on her computer and, I am quoting, said to me "this is a common problem". I asked if there is a safety recall on this issue and the tech told me "no". Nissan stated I would have to pay for the fix this time as it was over a year since the last time they [failed] to fixed the tailgate . This is a serious safety concern in that the tailgate can open unexpectedly while the vehicle is moving allowing the cargo to spill out into moving traffic. Please issue a safety recall immediately. Nissan knows this is a problem and will not act on it! I stopped at the local police department and explained what happen. I went to the police to see if anyone picked up any of my tools I lost and gave them to the police. Not a single tool was turned in. I lost several hundred $$ of tools due to the tailgate opening. Thankfully, I don't believe it caused any one to damage their vehicle.
