During cruising at 70mph on the interstate, vehicle started making some noise from the engine and 5 miles later locked up completely leaving me stranded. This is a known issue with the 5.0 Cummins. My safety and the safety of others was put at risk through the vehicle being disabled on the side of the highway all of the sudden during rush hour traffic. Problem was confirmed at a dealer. No warning lamps or messages prior to complete engine failure, just some slight noise from the engine a few minutes before.
Crankshaft failure, it broke Driving down the interstate and it died Mechanic came to my house and diagnosed problem No, it has not been inspected by a manufacturer or anyone else No, there was not any warning lights or any kind of warning whatsoever
The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Titan XD. The contact stated that while driving at 80 MPH, the engine was seized. There were no warning lights illuminated. There was an abnormal grumbling sound from the engine. The vehicle coasted and came to an abrupt stop. The contact stated that he experienced a catastrophic engine failure. The contact sustained a seatbelt rash and whiplash, but medical attention was not provided. The crankshaft had snapped. The driver was stranded for two hours in the desert. The vehicle was towed to his residence. The local dealer was contacted, who recommended an engine replacement. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.
The crankshaft snapped and locked up the motor. My safety was at risk as well as oncoming traffic because it could have caused an accident when locking up the motor. It has been confirmed by a local diesel mechanic. There was no warning at all, I was driving down the highway at 75 and as I started to go up an incline the truck had to downshift and it started to knock loud and then froze up and the truck came to a fast stop.
While driving at about 55 mph truck suddenly lost power engine shaking and making a lot of noise pulled over to check under the hood couldn-??t see anything obvious so I tried to make it home which was about 2.5 miles away truck would not make it so I pulled it into an empty parking lot a walked home.

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.
Loud rattle/knocking from engine while driving. Truck shut down with no advanced warning and would not start or turn over. Got off road and had vehicle towed. 2 different diesel mechanics suspect broken crankshaft.
.Crank shaft and bearing failure - metal in oil pan..Stranded on side of interstate towing a boat 7 hours from home.Confirmed by dealer.No.No warnings or symptoms
The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Titan. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the crankshaft had failed, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000. The VIN was not available.
Driving down highway lost power, pulled over halfway off road, attempted to restart. Was able to start and move ten feet, then shut off and would not restart. There was no warning before hand. Took to independent mechanic and disassembled the engine. Crankshaft was broken in three places. Contacted dealership and was no longer warrantied. Mechanic could not find reason for failure, he thought it might be harmonic based failure. Purchased and installed a used engine. Disappointed in parts availability from Nissan.
Was driving down the road on January 1, 2022 headed home and truck seized accelerating and once I pulled over the road. Truck shut down, wouldn-??t turn on. Took it to a diesel shop and they told me the crankshaft had seized. Paid over $14k to get it rebuilt at ONLY 67k miles on my 2016 Nissan Titan XD. Almost caught on fire as I tried turning on since I did not know what the issue was at first.
Was driving down the highway and I heard a loud banging out of nowhere from my engine. Whole truck shut off in the middle of the highway I pulled it over to side of road and called a tow truck. They took it to a dealer ship and I was told my crank was broken and they wanted 20,000 to replace whole motor. There was no warning lights nothing it just happened out of nowhere at 101,000 miles so I missed my warranty by 1,000 miles and had to pay 20,000 dollars to fix a truck that-??s not even worth 20,000 any more.
