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 to replace motor.

While towing a 30 foot 5th Wheel trailer up a steep grade on [XXX] in Washington state, the truck's engine abruptly slowed, and subsequent dashboard warning lights appeared. We were forced in to attempting a change of lanes to reach the shoulder. This was extremely difficult and traumatic, due to the steep road grade, abrupt slowing of our vehicle, fast moving upcoming traffic and the number of semi-trucks traveling in the right lanes. Because the speed limit in this area is 70 mph, most vehicles traveling at 80+ mph. But at the time when the truck started to fail, we were traveling at approximately 62 mph. This was an obvious and dangerous hazard to not only myself, but my family and other vehicles in the immediate area of traffic. Without warning or prior indication, our vehicle abruptly slowed down, which caused a great deal of vehicles following ours to quickly change lanes in order to avoid a collision with not only our vehicle/trailer, but other vehicles traveling and maneuvering around ours and other traffic. Once we were able to turn around and "limp" home(which in itself was extremely risky). I brought the truck for diagnostic testing at Advantage Nissan or Bremerton, WA. Upon testing, the fault was shown as an EGR coolant or coolant reservoir fault(s). In researching, it is obvious this is a known historical Safety issue or problem with Nissan's 2016-2019 Cummins 5.0 diesel engine equipped vehicles.

Purchased from Coparts end of March 2024 2019 Nissan Titan Xd S [XXX] ) Arrived with no keys, no batteries, other engine parts missing. we thought it would run once we got keys and battery for it because it had less than 13,000 miles on it. Connecting bar seems broke, oil pan was off so no oil. Afraid to try to turn over because of all the issues until the engine is pulled and inspected. We feel we received a lemon for it to be in such bad shape with less than 13,000 miles. Plus sold without catalytic converter, thought that was illegal. Can anything be done to help us?

I was driving with the vehicle operating perfectly normal. I turned onto a highway and was accelerating when all of the sudden without any warning lights or alarms the vehicle began to shake vigorously and lose power. I was almost rear-ended by a 18 wheeler trying to get to the shoulder. I had the vehicle towed to a nissan dealership that had it from 8/25/23 through 10/24/23 where they found that the engine crankshaft had failed. Due to this being a common issue the engine was replaced under warranty. The vehicle operated fine upon receiving it but now has check engine lights on. I have also lost all confidence in this truck as I was almost in a accident because of the failure. My resale value has completely diminished as with these nissan titans in general because of the known issues. This was also a pickup used to get back and forth to work and was expensed through my company I work for, so when it was in the shop for 2 months with no loaner I had to buy another vehicle as well as get a company vehicle and lose the expense amount I was receiving from my company for using my vehicle as transportation. This vehicle failure has made me lose all faith in this truck that I can safely get from point A to point B.

I rented vehicle from Budget rent a car system. The electrical engine computer system components malfunctioned and went out while I was driving. The rental car company sold or destroyed the vehicle upon request. My safety was compromised involving me in a accident. The Nissan Dealerships in Philadelphia & Ohio confirmed several unresolved recalls. The vehicle was inspected by Nissan Dealership after accident on behalf of Budget Rent a Car but Nissan dealership refused to fix recalls on a wrecked vehicle. When rented from airport the vehicle appeared to be fine until electrical issues caused vehicle to become powerless causing wreck.

Frequent and intermittent appearance of ABS, traction control, engine warning and 4WD Error lights on dashboard. All lights appear simultaneously and when they appear, cruise control fails, vehicle downshifts and slows substantially and engine RPMs increase 10-20% above norm for each gear. If vehicle is stopped, turned off and then restarted, conditions return to normal, only to appear again later. During a recent 3,000 mile Florida-Michigan-Florida trip, these incidents occurred a total of 56 times, all while on interstate highways driving 55-70 mph. The incidents do not occur during daily low-speed driving around town. After the recent 3k mile trip, I brought the vehicle to Nissan dealer however they would not service because dashboard lights were not on and vehicle was operating normally. Dealer advised I should wait until lights reappear, then bring vehicle into dealer service bay immediately and -??DO NOT TURN OFF IGNITION-?? because lights will disappear. This situation is difficult because lights only appear when I am driving on the interstate, usually far from home, and they disappear upon restart. Also I would need to immediately find a Nissan dealer with an open service bay.

When I try to accelerate from a stop in my 2019 Nissan xd there is a considerable lag in time from when I press the accelerator and when my truck begins to move. It makes it unsafe when trying to merge into traffic.
