ENGINE

Engine failure. On rural highway with recreational traffic, engine started rattling, within 5 seconds the engine shut off, luckily I was able to get on the shoulder. My truck is currently at a repair facility 300 miles from my home. Waiting on information from shop and extended warranty company. No warning lights whatsoever.

ENGINE

My 2018 Nissan Titan has suffered two engine failures within two years, with fewer than 37,000 miles on the vehicle. Despite following all scheduled preventive maintenance, the engines failed catastrophically. One of these failures occurred with my family in the vehicle, placing their safety at serious risk. Details: The first engine failure happened at approximately [30,000], and the second at around [37,000], both requiring full engine replacements. These were not minor issues — they were sudden, complete losses of engine power. The second failure was especially dangerous, occurring while driving with my family onboard. Despite clear signs of a major defect or systemic issue, Nissan has refused to take responsibility, treating these catastrophic events as if they are routine, isolated failures. I followed all required maintenance schedules, and the vehicle was well cared for. Nissan’s lack of accountability is unacceptable and deeply disappointing. Based on this experience and their failure to stand behind their product, I will not purchase another Nissan vehicle and cannot recommend the brand to others. I am submitting this report to urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue as a potential safety and manufacturing defect that could affect more owners and put more families at risk.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I CANNOT MAKE CALLS ON MY HANDS FREE BECUSE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TCU. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY WANT THOUSANDS TO FIX IT. I CANNOT USE MY HANDS FREE IN MY TRUCK, I CAN HEAR THE VOICE OF OTHERS BUT THEY CANNOT HEAR ME. ITS A HUGE DISTRACTION WHEN MAKING AND RECEIVING CALLS. THIS TCU IS CAUSING THE MIC NOT TO WORK. NISSAN HAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON THIS. IT IS UNDER CLASSIFICATION: EL18-006 AND REFERENCE: NTB18-023=NISSAN; MICROPHONE DOES NOT WORK

AIR BAGS,SEATS

passenger seat airbag module failure

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

Component Turbocharger, power train Safety vehicle would not restart so was stranded on highway Unknown if others have had similar issues Components have not been examined at this time but are available Warnings, 1st check engine, 2nd power reduced, 3rd engine was dead Going uphill on the interstate, the check engine light came on. I then observed the turbo boost climbing to 30 PSI, dark smoke coming out of the exhaust, and white smoke. I was attempting to pull over while this happened. When I got to the shoulder of the road , the vehicle was disabled, and coolant was pouring out of the overflow onto the ground. The vehicle needed to be towed to Great Falls, where it is awaiting repair. Vehicle is still not running at this time

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

While driving my car would almost stall on the highway, if I gave it gas while merging onto the highway it doesn't respond and then almost stall, but then respond after 2 seconds when it was not as clear to merge on the highway. I have had to replace the battery twice and been stranded in the last 3 years, the engine would pretend to start but not kick over. I have seen that this is a common problem when looking into Nissan TItan Forums

ENGINE

Vehicle shut down going down the interstate. After investigating, there’s metal in the oil. Possible spin crankshaft bearing or broken crankshaft

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The truck will deplete batteries within weeks of installation.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Gas spilling out when refilling. Fuel tank had been whistling from beginning ownership in 2020 but no problem refilling. Most recently however gas will quickly overflow when attempting to fill. This has occurred several times recently, but it was never an issue before. Spillage is not dependent on tank volume. Spillage occurs when low and/ or mostly filled. I have to trickle gas from pump in order to fill, but this takes quite a while to put in several gallons. If I attempt to fill normally gas will come gushing out after a few seconds.
