FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016 Titan Diesel XD vehicles manufactured August 7, 2015, to September 1, 2016. The affected vehicles may not have had the temporary fuel tank breather tube cap removed during the vehicle's assembly and the fuel tank breather tube may not have been connected to the bed rail. As a result, the fuel tank may not have the proper ventilation, possibly causing the fuel gauge and the distance to empty meter to both display inaccurately.

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Nissan Titan, 2016 and 2018 Nissan Titan XD vehicles. Accessories installed on these vehicles reduced the load carrying capacity, however, a Load Carrying Capacity modification label was not installed, possibly allowing the vehicle to be overloaded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

The cp4.2 high pressure fuel pump failed sending metal through the system and destroying the fuel system.

POWER TRAIN

I purchased this Nissan Titan XD used in 2018 with 20,000 miles on the vehicle. Since that time, it's been driven an average of 4,000 miles per year. Current odometer reading is 53,813 miles. The truck has had all required and recommended service done on the manufacturer's recommended schedule. We were headed west on [XXX] and were approximately 18 miles west of El Centro when the engine experienced catastrophic failure from the main bearing failure which damaged the crank and pistons. There were no warning lights, or messages showing prior to the engine failure. All gauges were reading normal. We went from normal operating to the engine sounding like it was grinding a bag of hammers instantly and without warning, Our safety and the safety of other was put at risk because the engine failed so unexpectedly, we barely had time to get to the side of the roaad. I was barely able to get to the shoulder . We were then stuck there within inches of traffic moving at high speeds until a toow truck could be sent. That took hours while we stayed seatbelted into our truck in 96 degree weather waitng for a wrecker. Even the slightest bit of distarction by one of the driver coming by us cold have been catastrophis. We count oursekves lucky we weren't hit. The vehicle was eventually towed to Nissan Imperial in El Centro. The diagnosis was confirmed as a failed main bearings. I know this was investigated earlier by the NHTSA, but these trucks are still on the road and still failing at very low mileages and usages. This is obviously a defect by Nissan and Cummins as all the failures of this type I see are in 2016 year model trucks with the 5.0 Cummns diesel. Nissan has acknowledged that the failure was failed crank bearings but refuses to take any responsibility for a $69,000 vehicle that only went 53,813 miles before turning itself into a large paperweight. I need help dealing with Nissan on theis please. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ENGINE

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.

POWER TRAIN

Wow Towing very little weight on flat grade. The crankshaft broke. I was told that this was a problem with this particular vehicle, not marrying the transmission and the diesel Cummins engine up correctly. This vehicle has been sitting for over two years because of this issue the cost to repair is twice with the vehicle is worth.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2016 Nissan Titan. The vehicle was a dealer sale. The contact later discovered a mileage discrepancy. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 31,190. When the vehicle was later taken to a dealer for an engine failure, the dealer informed the contact that the mileage was 226,000.

POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Driving down the interstate 2 days in a row cruise control 72 mph and go into reduced engine power. I believe it is the EGR cooler as well as many other people’s are having the same issue.
