2017 Nissan Titan Engine Problems

Premature turbocharger failure

My vehicle lost power driving down the road while pulling my horse trailer. The engine began to vibrate and knock then shut down completely. I did not make it off the road entirely so the police had to assist with lights to ensure other motorists would avoid collision with me. The engine will not turn over, it makes a single click and is locked up completely.

I live in [XXX] . Went on vacation to visit our son outside of Nashville Tennessee. Vehicle had approximately 80,000 miles at the time. While driving in traffic and sitting still at lights and odor was coming in the cab. When I got home, I called the dealer about Catalytic converter failure possibly they told me that it was not covered that I should take it to a reputable exhaust repair shop. I took it to Callahan’s auto repair in Pontiac Michigan. They put it on the Hoist and came and told me it had a cracked exhaust manifold which the catalytic converter was attached to and that’s where the odor was coming from. When I purchased the vehicle, I have a lifetime drive caring warranty from infinity through the dealership. I called the dealership and talked to Service and they told me to bring it in while waiting for an appointment. I was due for an oil change and canceled it and looked on Google For problems with the 2017 V8 engine and found a nine page technical service report on the failure of that particular line of engine, I was never notified at any time that my engine was subject to failure, and it had been to the dealership within the last 30 days to have a new transmission pan put underneath the vehicle which Nissan paid 60% of on their own and I paid 40. Upon taking it to the dealership and leaving it, I have to pay $181 for them to analyze the problem they have verbally told me on the phone That my truck needs a new engine because there’s a lifetime warranty on the drivetrain. I don’t feel this problem should be covered under that this is a problem Nissan should put a brand new engine in my vehicle. I would like a response to this. My email is [XXX] .

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. There was an abnormally loud sound coming from the engine. Additionally, the TPMS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with engine failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 80,100.

I was droving down the road with the cruise control set at 70MPH, when all of the sudden the engine lost power and stopped. It did not have a check engine light or anything on the dash to indicate that there was a problem. I coasted to the edge of the road where i attempted to restart the vehicle, but it would not even turn over. I had the vehicle towed to a repair shop where I was informed that they engine was locked solid. The mechanic suspects that they crankshaft is broken, but the entire engine will need to be replaced.

Driving down the road, motor locked up due to crankshaft. Unable to control or restart vehicle.

V8 endurance engine has a known defect with scaring of cylinder 7 causing knocking in the engines and engines replacements. I purchased this Titan brand new in 2017. It required a brand new engine at 18,000 miles that was covered by the warranty. That engine developed another knock that required another engine replacement at 89,000 miles. Initially Nissan refused to cover as the truck was more than 5 years old even though the miles were well below 100,000 manufacturer warranty. I have found that these are bad engines that dealership is continue to install in these trucks even knowing that it could develop another knock. Other engine manufacturers refused to work on these engines due to this known defect. Nissan has thus far refused to recall this engine. The replacement cost is $18,000 without warranty.

The truck has a broken crankshaft with only 80,000 miles on it an Nissan is aware of the defect in the engines an will not cover any repairs

Highway driving and lost power, started hearing engine rattle. 5.0L Cummins Diesel engine crankshaft is broken. Dealer verified it to be crankshaft. Insurance company denied a claim stating the crankshaft was manufacturer defect. Turns out that defective crankshaft was a known issue with the 2016 and 2017 Titan 5.0L engines that Cummins changed it for subsequent years. This should be a recall. I see daily the same issue on forums and groups in the USA. Thousands of us have a dead truck we are paying for in our yards.

Driving down the interstate at 65 mph out of the Blue Crankshaft broke. Massive steering wheel vibration hard to keep under control

Recently took the truck to get serviced a month ago. Two weeks ago I was coming back home and the motor let out and had a loud banging noise which I assumed to be a bearing or crank shaft failure. Upon getting it to a dealership they inspected it and pulled the oil pan to find metal shavings all in the turbos and oil.

Broken crankshaft

The dealership said, my crankshaft broke in many places

2017 57,000 miles, Very well maintained truck with turbo actuator issues (replaced 3 times). I was driving down the highway taking my kid to practice, when the truck started to act up. I took the cruise control off and started slowing down to get to a safe place off of the highway, when the truck shut off and came to a complete stop. Oil changed every 5000 mi by myself a retired military mechanic. The engine is seized up with a broken crankshaft. =This happened while driving down a very busy highway which made pulling over almost impossible. My child could have been injured or even worse if i couldn't get to the side of the road to safety. This seems to be a very

Engine/Crankshaft/Main Bearing excessive noise, metal shavings in oil. Crank shaft cracked or broken. Similar to NHTSA PE23-020.

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

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.
