2018 Nissan Titan Complaints

Cylinder 4-5 which caused catastrophic engine failure. CP4 fuel pump. Crank shaft broken, Metal flakes in oil. Differential service. Was on the road from [XXX] to [XXX] and broke down in [XXX]. Just bought the truck from Lakeland Automall on May 8th and broke down on May 31st. Was in a bad spot to pull over and from what I have gathered we were lucky the Truck didn't catch fire. The problem has been confirmed by the Nissan dealership in [XXX] and also by an independent. As of yet it has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance representatives. My next call will be to my insurance company for inspection. I was hoping I would be able to fix it on my own by to no avail. No warning lamps or messages before. It started making clanking sounds, we pulled over and then that is when the engine light came on. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My crankshaft broke on the highway. I was travelling at around 70mph. No warnings were given. I lost all power and had to limp it off to the side of the road. The engine was replaced under warranty. This is an ongoing issue for 2016-2019 Nissan Titans. Folks are left with worthless vehicles because they are outside of their warranty period when it happens.
