general problems of the 2016 Nissan Titan - part 1

I was driving down the freeway on cruise,when all of a sudden,the vehicle started vibrating and shaking violently. This happened in the middle of a downpour,and the tires broke loose momentarily,but I was able to gain control,and safely pull on to the shoulder. After searching the internet,this incident sounds very much like a broken crankshaft,as described in the many,many reports of this type of failure,especialy in the 2016 model years,like mine.

Emission can not get a state inspection because of a bad catalytic system Nissan will not warrantee it 2016 Nissan Titan xd 67k on it 6000k to fix not right.

Truck died while traveling at 60mph, once safely pulled over saw it shutdown due to low oil pressure. Checked the oil level and found correct level on dipstick. Attempted to start, no start. Towed to shop, they drained the oil and verified correct oil quantity cam out. Pulled the oil pan and found metal in the oil pan. Told I need a replacement engine. Engine has 95k miles with proper maintenance performed per the owners manual.

Driving down the road and engine lost power and shut off. Took it to a shop and they said my crankshaft broke.

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.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that the low fuel pressure message was displayed, and the vehicle failed to start after several attempts. The contact stated that the failure was related to emissions recall: pd128. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where the engine was replaced, but the failure recurred. The dealer informed the contact about additional diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was contacted, who opened a case, but no additional assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.

Dear sir/madam masked oil pressure warning in 2016 Nissan Titan xd (5. 0l) I am writing to report a concerning and potentially dangerous defect observed in a 2016 Nissan Titan xd equipped with the 5. 0l cummins v8 diesel engine. As a Nissan master technician with extensive experience in vehicle diagnostics and repair, I believe this specific defect could be a contributing factor to the well-documented crankshaft breaking condition prevalent in these vehicles, which NHTSA is currently investigating. The specific issue I have identified and thoroughly documented on my own 2016 Nissan Titan xd is as follows: observed defect: the engine oil pressure gauge consistently reads "normal" (approximately 1/2 scale) at all times, including with the key on, engine off (koeo). Crucially, the corresponding oil pressure warning light does not illuminate during the normal key on, engine off bulb check or at any other time, despite the engine not running. Diagnostic findings (summary): preliminary diagnostics, including unplugging the oil pressure sensor, indicate a likely fault with the oil pressure sending unit itself, causing it to send a false "normal pressure" signal. This specific sensor defect fundamentally compromises the vehicle's critical oil pressure monitoring system. ( the engine is running ok, no other symptoms) potential safety implications and link to crankshaft failure: this defect creates an immediate and severe safety risk because it completely masks any actual low oil pressure condition that the engine may develop. Documentation: I have well-documented photographic evidence of the current occurrence described condition (gauge reading, non-illuminated warning light koeo) which I can provide upon request to support this report. I urge the ntsb to include this specific oil pressure sensor/warning system defect in its ongoing investigation into the 2016 Nissan Titan xd 5. 0l cummins engine failures sincerely, [xxx] Nissan master technician ase-1104-7529 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information.

My vehicle spun a bearing, or broke the crankshaft in two, there is tons of metal in my oil, oil pan, and oil filter. The shop that is diagnosing it, and quoting me a new motor, said they have replaced at least 7 Titan xd cummins motors, and every single forum and person online that owns one reports the crank shaft breaking. Nissan or cummins needs to be held responsible for this. And the NHTSA needs to put their foot down and actually protect american consumers. They sold these trucks for at minimum 40k and the motors all blow up around 100k miles? absolutely disgusting that they can get away with this. What do expect in America I guess.

Was driving to work and engine had hiccup and almost shutoff in middle of roadway. Was able to limp truck to my destination. Engine was running rough. No fault codes or dash lights to indicate any issues. Took truck to shop and they could not figure it out. Had service shop drain oil and inspect oil filter. Metal debris was found in oil and oil filter. Had engine removed from truck and found 3 spun main bearings, crankshaft possibly broken.

Engine made a loud popping noise, shuttered and stalled in heavy traffic, I came within inches of being rear-ended. Required a tow truck. Repair shop informed me that the crankshaft is broken and this is a common problem. Being repaired at this time, I am informed this will cost about twenty thousand dollars. Thank you Nissan!.

The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart and was driven to the residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the turbocharger had failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact, that the dealer was not certified to repair the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired and was towed to lorenzo Nissan (30501 s dixie hwy, homestead, FL 33030); where the same assessment was provided. The dealer informed the contact that the manufacturer had denied the extended warranty coverage. The vehicle was repaired at the owner's expense. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 34,859. The VIN was not available.

The crank snapped at 180k miles.

Crankshaft failure, it broke driving down the interstate and it died mechanic came to my house and diagnosed problem no, it has not been inspected by a manufacturer or anyone else no, there was not any warning lights or any kind of warning whatsoever.

5. 0l cummins engine. Was driving fine then the crank shaft snapped and ruined the engine.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? fuel system/oil system catastrophic engine failure. Yes it is how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? truck shut down on highway at 70 mph with a child and wife in the truck has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? truck needs a complete motor. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? inspection was through a well know ase diesel technician were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, no there was not and when did they first appear? n/a.

Engine crankshaft broke, was cruising down the highway doing 70 in the fast lane, lost power steering then realized the truck was not running any longer, thankfully it was at night and the highway wasn't busy and was able to coast back to the right side of the highway to an exit ramp, but could have been a lot worse. Had no warning truck was running perfectly fine before hand, it did restart a couple hours later but has a loud knocking and low oil pressure light comes on it shuts down. Had to get towed. Vehicle is able to be inspected any time, I still owe on it and dealership is quoting 25k to 30k to repair and truck is not worth that. Have been told by multiply shops that this is becoming and issue with these trucks. The component has not been inspected by anybody mention above in your questions. No warning lights and no signs that it was going to shut off.

Loud rattle/knocking from engine while driving. Truck shut down with no advanced warning and would not start or turn over. Got off road and had vehicle towed. 2 different diesel mechanics suspect broken crankshaft.

. Crank shaft and bearing failure - metal in oil pan. . Stranded on side of interstate towing a boat 7 hours from home . Confirmed by dealer . No . No warnings or symptoms.

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.

Crankshaft failure.

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.

Engines blown. Needs new engine.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the crankshaft had failed, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000. The VIN was not available.

Driving down the road, truck lost all power and shut down, towed to the local Nissan dealership, needs a new engine, truck has 89k miles on it.

Driving down the interstate on cruise control at 75mph and the crankshaft snapped.

The crankshaft broke. The truck was operating normally and is regularly driven. A loud banging noise was heard and the truck lost power while running. Smoke came from the tailpipe and the check engine light came on. The truck was operating normally until this incident. If this had occurred on the interstate it would have posed a significant safety risk to the occupants and other vehicles.

Without warning I had a loss of power while driving followed moments later by the engine completely shutting down and failure to restart causing vehicle to stop in the middle of the road because I had no power steering or breaking. Using an obd2 scanner I was able to recover the following code "p0087 fuel rail pressure/system -too low bank ". Upon trying to restart the vehicle to no avail it gave this code "p00c6 fuel rail pressure too low - engine cranking bank 1". Using an auto agent ez lynk I was able to see the fuel pump was putting out 125psi but the injector pump has a desired output 4. 5kpsi but was only putting out 0. 3kpsi and wouldn't increase pressure during cranking. After talking to my local Nissan dealership service department I was told it appeared that either the injector pump or the motor had failed. The oil and filter was change on may 28 2024 and fuel filters were changed on April 10 2024. And has always been changed at orr Nissan in searcy arkansas. If this had happened as I was going down a major highway or interstate it could have resulted in a major accident with possible injury or death due to the loss of steering.

Went to pull out onto main road and the truck refused to accelerate instead it started to miss and lose power then the check engine light came on and the reduce engine power warning was displayed. Shortly after that the truck died and will not start. A scan of the engine codes reveled a p0087 fuel rail/system pressure too low bank 1 code. It appears that the bosch cp4 fuel injector pump failed. Right before the engine died there was loud noises coming from the drivers side of the truck which sounded like it was coming from the engine compartment.

While driving my 2016 Nissan Titan xd cummins (86,000 miles) on the highway, the engine started making a loud clacking noise, followed by a loud breaking or displacement sound. The check engine light did not come on, and the truck did not go into limp mode. Possible issues might be crankshaft or bearing failure, piston or connecting rod damage, or a valve train problem. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. There were no prior warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms before this failure. The problem has not yet been inspected or confirmed by a dealer or service center.

Engine suddenly shut off while on a short run with no load and couldn’t restart. Took it to the dealership and metal shaving's in the oil pan.

Driving down [xxx] between hulbert, ok and wagoner, ok. And the crankshaft broke in two. Common issue on these trucks! but it left me stranded on a narrow two lane road! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Was driving down the highway and I heard a loud banging out of nowhere from my engine. Whole truck shut off in the middle of the highway I pulled it over to side of road and called a tow truck. They took it to a dealer ship and I was told my crank was broken and they wanted 20,000 to replace whole motor. There was no warning lights nothing it just happened out of nowhere at 101,000 miles so I missed my warranty by 1,000 miles and had to pay 20,000 dollars to fix a truck that’s not even worth 20,000 any more.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that the vehicle was idling rough while being started. While driving at 5 mph, the vehicle shut off unintendedly. The vehicle failed to restart. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the wiring harness and engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The manufacturer offered to assist with the cost of the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 400.

Driving on the intersate with no warning lights engine began to run rough, pulled over and shut engine off. Trailered it to a local shop, they found lots of metal in the oil. I tried to start it to drive it on the trailer but the engine had sized due to catastrophic engine failure. It has 89900 miles.
