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.

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.

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.
