Vehicle shut down while driving and would not restart. Had to get it towed to the dealership. I was informed that it was a fuel issue but once tearing down found the engine to be at fault and had to be replaced. I was lucky it happened in a neighborhood.

I was towed to Nissan dealership and was told crankshaft broken in 2 peices. I’ve done research in this 5.0 Cummins diesel engine and come to find out this is a very common failure due to faulty wiring harness that provides power to injectors.I’ve contacted corporate Nissan to report problem with no help.There is YouTube videos on this common unsafe problem

Dashboard lights flicker on and off, radio makes a popping noise when the lights start to flicker. Vehicle has completely stalled while driving down the highway, brakes locked up and then restarted itself within 5-6 seconds. I have video showing proof but it will not allow me to upload.

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.

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.
