2016 NISSAN TITAN Fuel/propulsion System Problems

2016 nissan titan xd faulty number 8 injector this is the third time the trucks been to nissan for this issue the truck will drive fine then drops speed and starts to surge with knocking in the motor with service light making it a danger on the highway the truck is currently at nissan and it's been there going on a month

Vehicle hesitates at acceleration. Also known as dead pedal. Going through an intersection, hit the gas pedal and nothing for 2-3 zeconds

In July 2024 after having my Bosch CP4 Injector pump and fuel system replaced by my dealership due to the injector pump failure, I went around a corner and when I went to accelerate the truck wouldn't. After several moments and the truck just coasting down the road without any power it started to respond to the accelerator pedal. It did the same thing in November of 2024 while I was towing my travel trailer only this time, I had to stop in the middle of the road turn the truck off and back on before it would accelerate under its own power. Last Thursday January 9, 2025 the truck did it several times while I was driving it each time I had to roll off the road without any power, turn the truck off wait a few moments and turn the truck back on before I could drive it under its own power. I had not driven the truck since then but today it has done it twice with lost of power while driving in traffic! Each time this has happen the check engine light has come on and I have check the codes with a code reader and it is always a "P226C Turbocharger Boost Control 'A' Slow Response". And there will be as many as four different instances of the same code.

ENGINES BLOWN. NEEDS NEW ENGINE.

Went to pull out onto main road and the truck refused to accelerate instead it started to miss and lose power then the check engine light came on and the Reduce Engine Power warning was displayed. Shortly after that the truck died and will not start. A scan of the engine codes reveled a P0087 Fuel Rail/System pressure Too Low Bank 1 code. It appears that the Bosch CP4 Fuel Injector pump failed. Right before the engine died there was loud noises coming from the drivers side of the truck which sounded like it was coming from the engine compartment.

While driving my 2016 Nissan Titan XD Cummins (86,000 miles) on the highway, the engine started making a loud clacking noise, followed by a loud breaking or displacement sound. The check engine light did not come on, and the truck did not go into limp mode. Possible issues might be crankshaft or bearing failure, piston or connecting rod damage, or a valve train problem. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. There were no prior warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms before this failure. The problem has not yet been inspected or confirmed by a dealer or service center.

I purchased this vehicle in 2022 with 62000 miles on it for $45000, cash first newer vehicle ever paid for in cash, 1st day i drove it, check engine light for turbo failure came on, i normally put 80-100k miles on a vehicle per year, ive owned over 200 diesel vehicles in last 25 years, never have i had one stay in the shop more than driving it. Not only does it stay in the shop, but you have to locate a shop that still has a diesel technician employed. Two turbo actuator replacements, lift pump replacement, 18 shop visits for check engine lights, 5 times in a row at buford ga nissan, drove away and light came back on before making it home. [XXX] my family and I was driving to florida , doing 55mph, No check engine lights, no noises, no warnings, motor shut down in 21 degree weather, side of [XXX] in tucker georgia for 4 hours waiting for a tow truck, only thing on screen was DEF error see dealer immediately, $550 to tow vehicle back to my house because closest dealership did NOT have a diesel tech, spent two months to find a company that would tow my truck 55 miles from gainesville georgia to roswell georgia to regal nissan, the girl called me and said it needed a starter for $900plus dollars, i laughed and said there's no way in hell a starter caused this motor to die, i informed her that if starter did Not work i was not paying, two days later she calls me back up and informs me the motor is locked up, does not know why, but pay them $178 diagnosis fee, and for $1300-$2000 they could tell me exactly what failed, if u read online, trucks like mine fail between 50000-100000 miles with no warning no nothing! i am now stuck with another $330 tow bill to pick vehicle up and store it at my shop and pray that your organization can hold NIssan accountable, Nissans recommendation was for $30000 to put the exact same unmodified garbage of a motor back in this truck, please somebody hold this company accountable!!!!!! thanks INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Issues with turbo actuator. The check engine light stays on and I've taken it to Nissan multiple times to diagnose but they want to change me diagnostic fee every time and still can't tell me what the issue is. The truck loses power while driving without any warning and goes into limp mode where it will not go past 5-10 mile per hour. According to boards and Nissan this is a very common problem with Nissan Titans with Cummins that Nissan has failed to fix with recall. This is a huge safety issue and could cause loss of life as it has stopped on me on the interstate multiple times. Please fix this issue asap as it's been reported over the course of last few years and someone will lose their life over this huge issue.

Faulty Turbo Actuator Vehicle would stall stall without check engine light in traffic. I could Cycle the key and vehicle would run again no check engine light. It did this at least 4-5 times in traffic and on freeways. Nissan also is not providing support as actuator was on back order for over 6 months. Vehicle stall I f with no warning and cycling key to restart. I replaced it and once had it repaired and vehicle still runs poorly.

Turbo problem caused me stop in the middle of the freeway with my children Nissan will be fixing this issue with out charging I seen a lot complaints about this same issue

IMMEDIATE RECALL NEEDED ON ALL NISSAN TITANS WITH LIMP MODE FOR DEF EXPIRATION. DEADLY CONSEQUENCES POSSIBLE AND NOT AVOIDABLE. I HAVE RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT THE TITAN IS A DEADLY VEHICLE IN SEVERAL WAYS. MOST RECENTLY I DISCOVERED THE FACT THAT DEF FLUID AGES TO THE POINT OF CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO A LIMP MODE OF 5MPH WITH NO DISABLING THE LIMP MODE. UNSUSPECTING DIESEL OWNERS HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THE DEF THEY PURCHASED HAS EXPIRED OR THE DEF IN THEIR TANKS HAS GONE BAD. IF THE VEHICLE IS IN AN AREA THAT HAS DRASTIC CLIMATES SUCH AS SUB ZERO OR EXTREMELY HOT, DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS OF VEHICLE MAY DIE OF EXPOSURE. THERE IS NO WARNING FOR THE DEF FAILURE FOR IMPENDING FAILURE OF THE EMISSION SYSTEM AS I HAVE JUST EXPERIENCED. I BELIEVE THAT NOT MAKING NISSAN AND OTHERS TO NOT RECALL THIS DANGEROUS BUILT IN CHILD KILLER WOULD BE A TRAGIC MISTAKE BY THE SAFETY COMMISSIONS.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR SLOW SPEED TRUCK LUGS OUT, LONG HESITATION FROM PRESSING ACCELERATOR TO ACTUALLY KICKING IN , THEN IT TAKES OFF LIKE A ROCKET. HAD IT IN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE . ASKED THEM IF TOOK IT ON THE FREEWAY OR HARD ACCELERATION FROM A STOP? SAID NO ROADS WERE WET AND DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING THAT. AS MY COMMUTER VEHICLE THAT IS HOW IT IS DRIVEN. AS SOON AS I LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP TO GET ON A VERY BUSY ROAD . EITHER WAY FOR EVER OR ACCELERATE HARD TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC. IT LUGGED OUT THEN AND GETTING ON THE FREEWAY TO GET HOME

I'M WRITING TO MAKE AWARE OF THE DELAY IN ACCELERATION OF MY 2016 NISSAN TITAN XD. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE EITHER TRIED TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC OR MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND HAVE HAD NO POWER DUE TO A DELAY IN THE TURBO KICKING IN. IT'S QUITE SCARY. HOPEFULLY THIS CAN BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I MERGING INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND LOST MOST ALL ENGINE POWER. I PULLED OVER ONTO SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND UNDER TRUCK FOR SIGNS OF WHY. I SAW A WATERFALL OF FLUID GUSHING OFF OF TRANSMISSION CASE. SMELLED DIESEL FUEL I TURNED OFF ENGINE AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. I HAD SEVERAL GALLONS OF FUEL THAT HAD POURED OUT OF INJECTOR THAT CAME LOOSE AND OVER ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO DEALERS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY INCIDENT IN TWO WAYS FOR PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON HIGHWAY. TEMPERATURE WAS 90 PLUS DEGREES AND SUNNY. VERY HOT.

DIESEL FUMES IN CAB, NISSAN IS AWARE OF PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT FIX DUE TO VEHICLE BEING OUT OF WARRANTY, EVEN EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER PART NEEDED TO KEEP FUMES OUT OF CABIN AREA. THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARDOUS EFFECT, COULD CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE POISON WHILE DRIVING, OR IN IDLE, CAUSES HEADACHES, NAUSEA, THIS HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING EVEN SHORT DISTANCES AND ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPING FOR LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS, EVEN ON INTERSTATES AFTER EXITING,

WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE GETS STUCK AT APX 30RPM. IT WILL STOP COMPLETE ACCELERATION FOR APX A MINUTE AND THEN WILL PICK UP SPEED. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND HAS ALMOST PUT ME IN TWO ACCIDENTS GETTING HIT AT INTERSECTION AND ENTERING ON TO A RAMP, AND STALLING IN TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STREET. I HAVE REPORTED TO WEST TEXAS NISSAN AND CORPORATE. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED ONCE TO ME WITHOUT CORRECTING IT AND IT DID IT AGAIN WITH A MECHANIC TEST DRIVING WITH ME. IT IS CURRENTLY IN DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THE LAST 40 PLUS DAYS WITH THEM SAYING THEY CANT DETECT WHAT IT IS. I WOULD MENTION A NEW ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED ON THIS TRUCK WITH IN A MONTH OF NEW PURCHASE. THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY CONCERN YET NISSAN CONTINUES TO SAY THEY CANT PICK UP A CODE FOR IT. I HAVE VIDEOS OF IT HAPPENING AND A NISSAN MECHANIC THAT DROVE IT WITH ME.

MY DIESEL TITAN HAS A DANGEROUS EXCELLERATION PROBLEM. I HIT THE PEDAL TO CHANGE LANES WHEN IN TRAFFIC OR WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO A STREET THERE IS A HUGE DELAY BEFORE IT KICKS IN. I COMMUNICATED THROUGH FORUMS AND ONLINE TO SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY COMPLAINT . THE ANSWER FROM NISSAN IS IT IS BY DESIGN? HOW IS THIS A SAFE DESIGN?

"DEAD PEDAL" SOMETIMES THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE TRUCK IS RESPONSIVE AND TIME WHERE THERE IS A FEW SECOND DELAY IN RESPONSE. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC. THE PEDAL RESPONSE IS DIFFERENT EVERY TIME YOU PRESS IT. RPM JUMP. AT TIMES WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR AT A STOP THE RPM'S WILL JUMP UP FOR NO REASON CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LUNG FORWARD.

AS BEST AS I CAN DESCRIBE IT, THE TRUCK DOES NOT GET FUEL WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PREVENTING IT FROM MOVING FORWARD. YOU CAN PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE ANYTHING STARTS TO MOVE, AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. WE'VE HAD TO PUMP THE PEDAL AND PRESS IT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS CAUSING US TO ALMOST GET HIT WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. WE'VE SPOKEN WITH NISSAN SERVICE ADVISORS AND SALES ASSOCIATES ABOUT THE ISSUE REPEATEDLY ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM IN THE WORKS EVEN THOUGH THEY'VE RECEIVED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME ISSUES FROM OTHER OWNERS. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS ONGOING PROBLEM, OCCURRING EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN.

INTERMITTENTLY LOOSES POWER, TOTAL LOSS OF ACCELERATION. DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD NOT KNOWING WHEN IT'S COMING. I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH TURBO LAG, THIS IS NOT IT. USUALLY HAPPENS AROUND 1/4 THROTTLE, SQUEELING ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT, EXHAUST ODOR IN THE TRUCK, MAKES YOU NAUSEOUS, AFRAID TO LET MY KIDS RIDE IN IT! SEVERE CLUNKING IN DRIVELINE, RATTLE IN TURBOCHARGER, CHECK ENGINE FOR WASTE GATE, LEAKING WINDOW SEALS, DRIPS ON WINDOW SWITCH SURGES FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THEY SAY IT'S SHIFTING INTO FIRST, IT WILL SHOVE YOU INTO AN INTERSECTION! RADIO HAS LOUD POPPING, THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED FIXES MANY TIMES TO NO AVAIL. NISSAN RESPONSE "ITS NORMAL"

VEHICLE LOST POWER ON HIGHWAY AND WOULD NOT EXCEED 40MPH WITH FULL ACCELERATION, WAS ABLE TO LIMP VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. WAS TOLD DPF REGEN TRIGGERED ENGINE FAIL-SAFE CAUSING LOSS OF POWER. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE VISIBLE DURING INCIDENT. DEALER DOES NOT KNOW CAUSE OF ISSUE BUT WAS ABLE TO RESET VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN SEVERAL DAYS LATER AND HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND HAS NO CLEAR FIX.

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. *TR
