I received a recall notice back in Sept 2019 (19V‑495 ). I went to Antwerpen Nissan (Woodlawn, MD ) and they eroneously closed my recall ticket without completing the work. This was the second time that dealership falsified documents. Antwerpen Nissan said that they didn't see anything wrong with the wire harness. I've been having electrical problems sporadically since 2019. The problems are getting worse. My console / touch screen system is rebooting on its own while I am driving. I am still experiencing loss of power, LED driving lights will turn on and off while driving. Draining battery ( was replaced once at the dealership ). Antwerpen of Owings Mills was the last to investigate this issue. This was just before my factory warrantee expired. They replaced the radio. Electronic issues remained. I phoned Nissan USA and tried working with Nissan Rep "CHRIS";... Who refused to approve the safety repair. Feb. 2023, Antwerpen Nissan Owings Mills Rep. John said that he would re-investigate the safety recall;... But at my expense;.. Even though the investigation was initiated prior to the factory warrantee expiring. I need my vehicle to transport me safely to and from the Hospital for my cancer treatments / exams. I don't feel safe driving that vehicle,
2017 Nissan Titan engine complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 102, newest first, as owners wrote them.
We were driving on a local road doing approximately 35 MPH when we heard a loud explosion sound and then loud exhaust sound. We stopped immediately and discovered that the front catalytic converter had completely separated/broke off from the exhaust system there was no prior indication of any problem it just broker apart as per pictures. Vehicle is in very good condition. and only has 38,000 miles on it. It was clear that there were defective welds on the catalytic converter as this should not have occurred. Nissan is not taking any responsibility for this. Vehicle has not been repaired as of today and is available for inspection of needed.
On Highway leaving stoplight, with no warning truck started shaking. Would not accelerate. Got off Highway, luckily and the engine had seized.
Driving down the highway at 70mph, when the engine seized and shut down without warning. Towed to dealership and informed of “internal mechanical failure.” No warning lights on, truck only has 74,000 miles and Nissan is refusing to assist with repairs as acexpired two months ago. Hundreds of documented cases of same issue. Stuck with a blown engine that is 30k to fix, truck worth nothing and still have a 3yr note on it.
The problem comes from the turbo charger it made the car to jerk back for, it loses power an the pick up the power in a very strong way that if I have to stop it will be problem. Code P226C Turbocharger Boost Control 'A' Slow Response
Truck was just picked up from repair for a bad crankshaft sensor. Not even an hour later, truck seized up and I was stranded in the middle of the road. Broken crankshaft at 52k miles.
I was driving from San Antonio Texas to Tulsa Oklahoma for work when I heard a ticking sound. So I instantly pulled over and checked under the hood to see if I could determine the problem. I couldn’t determine the problem so I had the vehicle towed to the nearest Nissan dealership (Fenton Nissan - Mc Alester, Ok). The following day they called me back to tell me the engine is blown and the crank is broken. After researching the past couple days this seems to be a consistent problem with the Nissan Titan Xd 5.0 Cummins. I am extremely diligent with the maintenance of my truck.
engine multiple oil leaks - other owners have same problem, verified with TitanTalk (on line blog site) ** R.O. revealed Front Timing cover & upper oil pan leaking. Repaired under warranty at local Nissan dealership no cost to owner.
I purchased my 2017 Nissan Titan SV in 2018 from a dealership in Conyers Georgia. I have taken great care of the truck and performed all regular and millage maintenance to the truck from day 1. I noticed in 2019, while driving on the roadway to merge onto interstate I85 that the vehicle had a lag in acceleration causing an RPM surge which delayed the vehicle from accelerating onto the interstate properly almost causing an accident. The truck would not properly get up to speed causing me to have to pull over to the side of the road and evaluate and re start the truck.The check engine light became displayed. The truck continued to display the same behavior with the surging of RPMs and drag during acceleration. I took the vehicle to Mall of Georgia Nissan, where they took the vehicle in and diagnosed it. I was advised by Nissan that they contacted Nissan Corporate to get advise on the issue and to seek a resolution, in which they performed some type of re flash of the transmission and several other transmission related fixes, but stated that the transmission was fine. I picked up the vehicle and it seemed to be running better than before, however a lag during acceleration was still noticeable. I noticed in January 2022 that the check engine light came on once again after the vehicle stalled while accelerating causing the truck to jerk and me once again pull over on the side of the road. I have been advised by my local mechanic after diagnosing the truck that there is a large amount of metal in the transmission fluid and that the vehicle will most likely need a new transmission. My truck has 122k miles and is in great shape, and also paid for with hopes to continue driving it well past 122k miles. This issue with the transmission which occurred within warranty was not properly diagnosed and fixed in 2019 causing a continuing safety hazard on the roadway. Nissan corporate is refusing to take responsibility of this issue and acknowledge the transmission issues.

I was driving my truck a long distance yesterday and was on the interstate when this incident occurred, approximately 2 hours after killing the engine to get fuel. The check engine light came on, I was driving 70 MPH at the time. Shortly after, a warning came up on my display stating "engine power degraded". I was on a mountain pass in the middle of nowhere and noticed the throttle was very slow, I couldnt speed up and that was very scary since I was on the interstate. I had to coast to the nearest dealer in aubun wa which was about 25 min away. As soon as I pulled off the interstate to slow down, the error cleared and I regained throttle and power. When I got there to the dealer service dept they said they had no diesel mechanics to look at my truck until 2 weeks and that I should leave it. They also told me they had no loaners, basically telling me to get a cab home. I live in tacoma, over an hour away from auburn. My truck had my dog and all my belongings inside since I just came home from a road trip, cabs were really not an option. I begged them to please just hook up diagnostics and tell me if I can make it home. They said it only showed "low voltage". They cranked my truck and I drove home. Currently it is stuck in the driveway and will not start. It will have to be towed to nissan in tacoma whenever they can actually find a diesel mechanic. Important to note this occurred after the car wreck I was in that was likely related to throttle not kicking in. Either way, I have no vehicle and nissan seems to think this is not their problem even though it is under warranty. It has become a safety nightmare and I am afraid to even drive this truck even if it was working.
Bought truck new in 6/2018 . Truck is new 2017 leftover nissan titan diesel xd with 16,000 miles to date. When truck goes into regen to clean diesel particulate heavy diesel exhaust fumes fill the cabin so bad you have to roll the windows down. It causes my stomach to become upset and dizzy tired feeling and later a very bad headache. Have had coworkers experience the same issue while in the vehicle.has been replicated at the dealer and service tech and service manager are out of ideas on how to fix this but confirm the issue exist. Dealer service manager has read about this but never has heard of a fix through nissan. Nissan is sending in and engineer to look at the issue but comment made from service manager is he has heard about the situation through nissan network but never has heard of a fix for it. Truck is still in warranty but not worth continuing to be sick or possibly pass out from it. Please be very aware of this issue and report any exhaust diesel smell to your dealer and elevate it. This is an extremely dangerous health and safety hazard. You should not smell any exhaust or diesel fumes in a vehicle. Hoping this site takes note of the many other folks on forums mentioning it and elevate it to nissan. Hoping nissan fixes or gives me my money back as the truck makes me feel sick.
As I was driving on the road at red traffic light, when the light turned green, I started to move, the engine started to make loud noise and the engine shut off. This happened when the vehicle was at 56k miles. Later on, found out at dealer that the crank shaft was broken. The engine got replaced under warranty. It is not a guarantee that this does not happen again. There are lots of other same model truck had this happened. 2017 titan xd 5.0 cummins diesel
Engine fan clutch makes excessive engine noise. Sounds like a jet engine. Dealer claims it is as designed, however, it is excessively loud, and causes extreme drope in overall fuel economy. This is a known failure that the selling dealer refuses to fix.
When the truck goes into regen mode the cab fills with exhaust smell while air is on and in the fresh air position. It is especially noticeable while stopped.
The truck has develop a ticking noise from the engine bay I have gone back to the dealer several times cause its getting louder and the dealer say iys normal the truck sounds like diesel engine the truck wasnt doing that noise went I bought it it started after the 3 oil change and never go alway its a new truck bought it in 2018 and has 16322 miles on it could something be done with that noise
When making a left turn across a 2 lane highway, after slowing down to make the turn, the vehicle did not respond to depressing the accelerator pedal, nearly causing an accident with oncoming traffic, which had to slow down abruptly to avoid collision. There was ample space at the beginning of the turn maneuver to comply with traffic law. It took approximately 3 seconds for the engine to respond to depressing the accelerator pedal, and the application of power was sluggish at best. During that time, the vehicle rolled slowly across the lanes of oncoming traffic. Depressing the pedal to the floor did not cause a response by the engine. The vehicle had coasted nearly all the way across the two lanes of oncoming traffic before there was sufficient power to accelerate.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 nissan titan. While the vehicle was stopped, the contact smelled exhaust fumes inside the vehicle. West herr nissan of lockport (6069 s transit rd, lockport, ny 14094, (716) 280-6354) stated that the odor was normal. The manufacturer sent a representative to inspect the vehicle who agreed with the dealer. The failure mileage was 0.
Sometimes the traction control light will come on in the middle of me driving. Then it reduces my titan to 10mph. It has happened twice while the vehicle was in operation and I was going less than 30mph both times. The traction light will also come on when I drive somewhere and let my car sit idle. Usually when that happens all the light appear. I'll turn it off and all the lights will disappear except for the engine light. The first time this ever happened was when we were sitting idle in a parking lot and at first it wouldn't even go anywhere.

This is the second titan xd with the same issue "dead pedal" or no acceleration when pedal is pressed this is when the truck is being driven at various speeds. Nissan has attempted to fix with no know repairs at this time.

To whom it may concern I was driving with slightly less than 1/4 tank of gas and stopped to park on a hill with vehicle on idle. While in idle on the hill the vehicle stalled out. I tried to restart but the engine just cranked with no start and a low pressure fuel system service light came on. I tried to push it down the hill on flat ground and tried to start again with just cranking no start. I then had to push the vehicle with the help of my neighbors into a guest stall and call for a tow. The vehicle was towed to tony nissan to be looked at where the mechanic said that there were no issues and he reviewed all the fuel system and no issues were found. He informed me he let the vehicle crank over until the pump was able to pick up fuel and purge the line of air and the car started. The service advisor informed me of the fuel tank being longitudinally placed in the truck with fuel pump in the center which stopped to idle on a hill may have caused the pump to go dry and pump air. I informed him that this could be an issue if I was driving up or down a hill with my family and then stop and idle whereby the truck stalls out on a hill of such magnitude like in san francisco or wilhemina rise in honolulu, hi. Hopefully this is reviewed by the engineers at nissan motor which this email is also being forwarded to the federal safety agency. Invoice number, I believe, from tony nissan is 653922.
On feb 16 2018 I was driving my 2017 nissan titan truck with 5000 miles on the odometer along a rural two lane road in missouri with three other passengers riding with me. We heard a noise from the engine compartment and suddenly the power steering of the vehicle ceased to operate and the truck drifted across the double yellow lines of the highway. Luckily no cars were coming in the opposite direction and I steered hard to the right and slowed the vehicle down rapidly. I drove a short distance to a gravel parking lot of a church and we examined the vehicle and could see the serpentine belt was no longer in place. The truck was towed to a nissan dealership 55 miles away and we awaited their report. Several days later I was informed that the belt tensioner bracket had broken in half and nissan was going to order parts as they were not in stock at the dealer. Remember this is a new 2017 truck with only 5000 miles on it. The serpentine belt runs all aspects of the vehicle and without it engaged the vehicle becomes undriveable. The vehicle is completely stock with no modifications of any kind. The nissan dealership advised me that I was the only person in the u.s. With this malfunction to date. This problem could potentially kill.
When the diesel engine goes into dpf regeneration mode, the cab of the vehicle fills with unpleasant fumes that smell like evaporated diesel fuel or other noxious substance that is irritating to mucous membranes and may cause health issues. The problem is worse when the vehicle is at low speed or in stop-and-go traffic when exhaust fumes are able to collect around the vehicle. The most recent instance occurred in a drive-thru line at a fast food restaurant, and was so pungent that I was forced to abandon the line, park the vehicle, and evacuate myself to fresh air.
