Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Nissan Titan - part 2

While driving on interstate 20 at a 75 mph speed in traffic, the truck began a loud knocking noise and the engine shut down. After fighting the dead truck off the roadway from the highway speeds and avoiding traffic, I was able to get the truck safely stopped. Upon attempting to restart the engine, the starter caught on fire. I was able to get the fire extinguished with minimal damage. The truck was towed by a wrecker to my home. I replaced the starter and inspected the wiring harness for fire damages. The truck did restart after sitting for several days, and the knock which was heard on the roadway the day of the failure was excessive. After other checks and inspections, the crankshaft was found to be broken in half causing loud knocking. This is a catastrophic failure with a monetary replacement of approximately $20,000-$30,000.

Perfectly maintained vehicle, 68,000 mikes on the Nissan Titan xd diesel- stock - drove it to work, then swapped with my son so he could barrow the truck as his was getting serviced- he owns a lawncare company, he calls stating the truck lost power, started vibrating, and started banging while towing his equipment. No lights. We use a banks data monster- checked for codes, nothing, all temps normal - I monitor egr, engine, exhaust, and several others - all normal. Parked it - appears to be a broken crank. Just changed the oil the day prior. Been changing oil for 30+ years - always triple check levels - all correct. Use shells best t6 fully synthetic, fleet guard filter and change every 6-7k.

Spun rod bearing/broken crank shaft - major vibration, loss off power, dangerous.

Traveling 65mph down the highway, engine started shaking extremely bad and smoke pouring from the exhaust.

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.

The bearing left go in the block causing crankshaft problems.

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.

Oil doesn’t get to the 7th cylinder causing unrepairable damage. It’s a known issue by Nissan.

My turbo actuator went out in 2022, paid $2,000 to get it fixed. A year later in 2023 it went out again and ruined both the low and high turbos, had to get them replaced again this time under warranty but Nissan of dearborn in dearborn, michigan had my truck for 87 days before I got it back. They tried to tell me I needed a whole new engine block. I’m scared because if this happens again who is going to be held liable for it, me? not to mention the damage it’s most likely caused on the engine block and crankshaft. The last thing I want is for that to break as I’m going down the highway.

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

Pulled up to a stop light my truck turned off had got towed back and turner the truck on and the engine had rod nock and is over heating and not running smooth.

Loss of motive power due to broken crankshaft with no ability to restart.

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.

The crank shaft broke.

I stopped to get diesel and pulled onto the interstate. Within 2 miles of being on the interstate, the engine felt as though it downshifted, lost power, and stalled in a construction one lane zone with no way to get out of traffic. The engine would no longer turn over and the truck would not start. This was a danger, not only to me, but to other drivers on the interstate. Had taken 90 miles away to a certified diesel Nissan dealership who said all of the fluids were good and the motor was locked solid. It was not covered by warranty ans was estimated to cost $32,000. 00 to replace motor.

I have owned this vehicle since day one. . . This was meticulously maintained and serviced regularly. While sitting at an idle, with no prior warning, the vehicle just stopped running. After having diagnosed by a reputable diesel mechanic near me, it was determined that the cp4 fuel pump, known to be faulty in these and other trucks as well had failed. After extensive examination, it resulting in a catastrophic failure of the fuel system, ultimately requiring a $14, 000+ repair. (unrealistic cost due to the current value of the truck being around $10k - $14k. Metal chards had been distributed all throughout the entire fuel system. This failure is unfortunately very common and Nissan or cummins should be held accountable for this issue.

Driving down the highway and the truck shut off. Pulled over and the engine will not crank. Suspect the engine is locked as the starter tries to turn over the engine but just starts to smoke due to engine not moving.

The vehicle is available for inspection immediately by all parties. While driving down the highway, the truck started a vibration, without any warning indicators. The vehicle was taken to the next travel center truck shop. The writer acknowledged the vibration like a misfire, but no codes were present. He recommended another shop or dealer. A detour was made to the nearest Nissan dealership. On the way, the truck stumbled with a violent vibration and shut down on the road without warning lights. There was a complete loss of power from the engine on the highway, giving way to the risk of being hit by other motorists and blocking traffic. Since the engine shut down, there was also a loss of power steering, giving high risk to the possibility of an accident. The truck was unable to restart. The vehicle shut down in the middle of the desert, exposing my family to unsafe environmental conditions. The truck was towed the remaining way to the dealer. The next business day, the technician got the truck started and verified the concern. The tech requested additional time for teardown which was approved to remove the oil pan for inspection. I was quoted over $37,000 to repair “catastrophic engine failure. ” there were metal shavings found in the oil pan “the size of a computer mouse” from somewhere on the crankshaft. The dealer found that the check engine light came on during service but did not provide the codes. Nissan refuses to assist with repair due to warranty time and secondhand ownership. Nissan was offered to inspect the vehicle but has declined.

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.

Engine locked up driving down the road. Broke crank driving 65 miles a hour.

I was driving down the interstate and my crankshaft broke. It happened suddenly and I lost all power and luckily no one ran into the back of me as I slowed down and made my way to the shoulder. There I sat for 2 hrs waiting for the tow truck. There were no signs or warning lights prior to the engine loosing all power. Nissan inspected and has confirmed it is a broken camshaft and will not warranty it.

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.

Broken crank in engine.

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.

Engine seized up on the highway in the fast lane. Broken crankshaft.

I was told by orr Nissan in shreveport, la that my crankshaft failed and I need a new engine. No warnings lights, messages or symptoms. Truck just shut down at 115k miles. It was in great shape and serviced meticulously by the dealership.

The alternator wiring harness per recall bulletin ntb19-053 has has failed multiple times impacting starting and leaving driver stranded, shuttering while being driven, locking mechanism and other electrical components working intermittingly. Vehicle was purchased used from a dealership with 17,000 miles and shortly afterwards 1st episode of not starting occurred but then worked for about 8 months, assumed it was bad gas. In 2019 Nissan advised they inspected the harness but never informed about inspection nor recall. Over the past few years the problem one come and go and once twice I replaced the battery. Took the vehicle in to Nissan may of 2024 and they advised an alternator was needed but they did not have the part and could not get the part in a reasonable time frame. I offered to accept and aftermarket part and they did not agree to do so. A local repair center provided aftermarket part with 2 year warrant and also discovered the harness recall and advised this appeared to be the problem and would cost an addition $700 to replace. I returned to Nissan regarding this findings and was told all they had to was inspect it and they did so. Nissan compliance was contacted and after their review they refused to pay for harness removal, even after getting photos showing issues with the alternator harness. Once, the new alternator was installed the same problems returned as originally diagnosed by Nissan I. E. A failing alternator (less that 12 volts). I am seeking to have the original campaign to replace the harness, as a visual inspection of wiring may not lead to observation and what they assume was safe may not in fact been safe at all. In addition the harness replacement, I am requesting a refund as related to the alternator as the one removed was fine and its the wiring harness failing that is creating the problem, based on the symptoms described in the bulletin and those documented by both repair shops. Lastly, it appears vehicle was a buy back Nissan.

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).

Vehicle was well maintained and only drive it around 10,000 miles per year or less. Had no issues or warning signs, my truck just bogged down while going 65mph on the highway. By the time I pulled over and cut it off I checked all fluids and tried to turn it over again, all you hear is a heavy knocking sound like the engine was struggling. Took it to a mechanic shop and found out it had a broken crankshaft, it has under 50,000 miles!.

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.
