2017 Nissan TITAN - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

"the engine started to make strange noise that sound like piston failure. i took the truck to boulder nissan in colorado. they diagnosed and confirmed scoring/cylinder wall damage in cylinder #7. this is apparently a known issue for the 5.6l v8 and there is a nissan bulletin ntb19-057. the nissan bulliten recommends replacing the short block and i was quoted $21969.60, which is more the current value of the vehicle. my truck has 113k miles, all maintenance has been completed as recommend. i did file a complaint with nissan consumer affairs the case #50592140. however, since my truck is no longer under warranty they would not pay for repairs. this issue with this process is since this failure is a known issue which would lead to complete engine failure, why would nissan not inspect these engines when they are at the dealer for service? i was told by the dealer they have seen this happen to vehicles with as little as 14k miles on them. reading other complaints about truck on the nhtsa website it seems there are major issues with this engine which would lead to safety issues when these engines fail while in use on roads and highways. plus was is available on the nhtsa website only represents a small number of actual vehicle owners, as i found even more in nissan forums and youtube. please hold nissan accountable for a known issue on the 5.6l engines"

"was driving down the highway at 65 mph truck started shaking i was stopping for a red light. as soon as i came to.a stop the truck started knocking shaking even worse i was barely able to get it off the road.had truck towed to a nissan dealer they said crankshaft broke."

"i was driving normally and the card just stopped working one of the crankshaft is damaged and damage motor stuff"

"driving down i40 between exit 57 and exit 47 when my truck started making a bad vibration and horrible noise. it was dark so i could not see if it was smoking or anything coming from the exhaust. had the truck towed to my dad's house which was closer to mine. once there we did an initial investigation on what was wrong. after pulling the dip stick and noticing there was metal material on the dip stick, we knew that something had failed in the motor. we then loaded the truck on a trailer and took to my house 50 miles away. i reached out to the dealer ship that i purchased the truck from, "nelson nissan" in broken arrow, oklahoma. they told me the truck was out of warranty by 1 month on the 5-year warranty but it only has around 98,000 miles. since purchasing this truck from them i have only done simple maintenance. i have not even changed the tires at this point. i have changed the engine oil and filter, fuel filters, and serviced the truck more than recommended. i reached out to my local dealership and they would not help either without me paying in full. i am a mechanic so i started looking into the problem. i was going to buy a motor to replace, but with them costing over $20,000 and still paying on the truck i have not. i did start to take the motor out, but after seeing all the other trucks failing on forms i am hoping and praying the nhtsa helps with this horrible problem that is affecting several people that have chose to buy these crappy trucks. thank you for your help"

"blown engine, failed crankshaft. driven under normal operating conditions."

"driving down interstate the reduced engine light came on then engine turned off , no signs of issues prior. luckily i was able to controlmthe vehicle to pull off the road into the grass. had towed to nissan in vissalia, california and they have to replace engine due to crankshaft issue and bearings found in oil pan. currently awaiting warranty approval as it will cost over $21,000 to be fixed"

"driving down the road and had crankshaft snap stopping my truck. vehicle had 28000 miles on it. it was repaired under warranty. i still wonder if it is truly repaired."

"crankshaft failed at 42,000 miles and required a new engine to fix. this occured during driving on a highway. truck was taken to a diesel engine repair center for the diagnosis and repair. there was no engine light warning when it happened."

"i have a 2017 titan xd that has had catastrophic turbo failures 4 times now on 162,000 miles. roughly every 40,000 miles which is absolutely ridiculous. they have refused to acknowledge a manufacturing defect at my dealer and at the national level now telling me it will be 13,000$ to fix it again with the same faulty product that i'll have to fix again next year for another$13,000 or worse a fully failed engine and unusable truck. the turbo fails with very little warning, no lights and when the turbos fail it kills the trucks power and makes maneuvering to safety very difficult."

"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."
