2016 Nissan Titan XD: loss of power steering

Filed Dec 30, 2024 · Engine · IL

Engine crankshaft broke, was cruising down the highway doing 70 in the fast lane, lost power steering then realized the truck was not running any longer, thankfully it was at night and the highway wasn't busy and was able to coast back to the right side of the highway to an exit ramp, but could have been a lot worse. Had no warning truck was running perfectly fine before hand, it did restart a couple hours later but has a loud knocking and low oil pressure light comes on it shuts down. Had to get towed. Vehicle is able to be inspected any time, I still owe on it and dealership is quoting 25k to 30k to repair and truck is not worth that. Have been told by multiply shops that this is becoming and issue with these trucks. The component has not been inspected by anybody mention above in your questions. No warning lights and no signs that it was going to shut off.

Without warning I had a loss of power while driving followed moments later by the engine completely shutting down and failure to restart causing vehicle to stop in the middle of the road because I had no power steering or breaking. Using an OBD2 scanner I was able to recover the following code "P0087 Fuel Rail Pressure/System -Too Low Bank ". Upon trying to restart the vehicle to no avail it gave this code "P00C6 Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low - Engine Cranking Bank 1". Using an Auto Agent EZ Lynk I was able to see the fuel pump was putting out 125PSI but the Injector pump has a desired output 4.5kPSI but was only putting out 0.3kPSI and wouldn't increase pressure during cranking. After talking to my local Nissan dealership service department I was told it appeared that either the injector pump or the motor had failed. The oil and filter was change on [XXX] and fuel filters were changed on [XXX]. And has always been changed at ORR Nissan in Searcy Arkansas. If this had happened as I was going down a major highway or interstate it could have resulted in a major accident with possible injury or death due to the loss of steering.

Was driving at about 40 mph with cruise control on, when my passenger and I noticed extreme vibrations and noises with. Began slowing to turn into a gas station just ahead when the clunking became so violent the front of the vehicle was bouncing. As I turned into the gas station, there was a loud bang, smoke billowed from the hood, and the engine stalled leaving me with no power steering. I turned as hard as I could to avoid gas pumps and people fueling their cars, and ended up running up a curb with no power to steer away. No warning lights came on until I came to a stop. Smoke and oil continued running from the front of my truck for several minutes. I feel fortunate to have walked away from such a violent breakdown. I am told the truck needs a new engine and transmission resulting from a broken crankshaft, and have been refused any warranty or good will assistance. I was given a quote for $37,000. Thought it was a joke, but then again this whole experience has been hard to accept as reality.

Driving from nevada to los angeles ca on highway 395. Three times while at speed my vehicle turned off for three to five seconds. I lost power steering, rear tires felt like they locked up. Car would then power back on and I would regain power steering and continue down the road. This occurred three times in 40 miles today. This vehicle has been back to the dealer I bought it from where they could find nothing wrong with it.

On november 2, 2016, I was driving my 2016 nissan titan xd (diesel) on a city street when the engine suddenly shut down on me. I was able to get the vehicle safely to the side of the road (loss of power steering and brakes). I had the vehicle towed to the dealership, where it remains to this day (november 30). The dealership, along with assistance from nissan, has not been able to repair or restart the vehicle to date. My understanding is the fuel has been tested and was determined to be clean diesel and problem free. The fuel rails were first replaced, with negative results. The high pressure fuel pump was then replaced, again with negative results. My last contact with the dealership was one week ago, and I was told the nissan engineer's felt the fuel system/engine was not getting "primed" and they were going to look into that system. Still,, the vehicle remains at the dealership and they have not been able to start then vehicle or correct the problem. I am concerned other owners of this type of vehicle may or may already have experienced similar issues. This is obviously a safety issue that needs to be checked because it could result in a severe accident resulting in injury, loss of life and/or property damage.
