IllustrationThe infotainment system in my vehicle randomly crashes at various times and often happens when the vehicle is in reverse with the backup camera active which is a safety issue. Outside of the crashes, there are often lags/delays with the backup camera in the infotainment system.

Alternator harness is defective in my 2019 Nissan Titan. My truck has stalled on me twice while running and my air conditioner compressor has stopped working and radio is not working properly, and it is draining my battery, there is a delay when starting my vehicle as if it does not have enough power. I replaced the air conditioner compressor and vehicle battery. After replacing the air conditioner compressor it stopped working after two weeks. I can hear the air conditioner struggling when it is turn on, my radio and back up camera stop working all of sudden as if it is not getting enough power, then it will start working again. Radio turns on and off by itself. My vehicle omits a burnt smell from the engine. A research of the issues with my vehicle I located a recall with similar issues (19V495000) that affected 2017-2019 Nissan Titans.
In cold weather, generally below freezing, the tailgate of the 2019 Titan will not open. When attempting to open the tailgate, the latch is lifted up, but the tailgate will not open. However, once the temperature rises to high 20's, low 30'sF, the tailgate will open on its own. I believe lifting the tailgate latch puts this sequ…

In cold weather, generally below freezing, the tailgate of the 2019 Titan will not open. When attempting to open the tailgate, the latch is lifted up, but the tailgate will not open. However, once the temperature rises to high 20's, low 30'sF, the tailgate will open on its own. I believe lifting the tailgate latch puts this sequence into motion. In the first incident, I tried to open the tailgate in cold weather, it would not open. Then, while traveling down a highway, the tailgate opened by itself resulting in several large toolboxes spilling out of the bed and onto the highway. I was not aware of this until I got to my office. The truck was taken to a Nissan dealer who replaced the electrical and mechanical tailgate locking mechanisms (under warranty) in January 2024. Now, in January 2025, with the recent cold spell in the northeast, the tailgate again would not open. And as before, later the tailgate fell open on its own (thankfully there was noting in the bed of the truck). I took the truck to the same Nissan dealership and explained that tailgate problem was not fixed. The technician looked on her computer and, I am quoting, said to me "this is a common problem". I asked if there is a safety recall on this issue and the tech told me "no". Nissan stated I would have to pay for the fix this time as it was over a year since the last time they [failed] to fixed the tailgate . This is a serious safety concern in that the tailgate can open unexpectedly while the vehicle is moving allowing the cargo to spill out into moving traffic. Please issue a safety recall immediately. Nissan knows this is a problem and will not act on it! I stopped at the local police department and explained what happen. I went to the police to see if anyone picked up any of my tools I lost and gave them to the police. Not a single tool was turned in. I lost several hundred $$ of tools due to the tailgate opening. Thankfully, I don't believe it caused any one to damage their vehicle.
Back up camera is blurry and barley visible. Our family dog "Bingo" was injured while backing up in the driveway.

TRUCK HAS A SHAKE BETWEEN 45-75 MPH. DEPENDS ON RPMS AND TIRE PRESSURE. DOES NOT MATTER IF IT IS HIGHWAY OR CITY. MOST NOTABLE BETWEEN 65-72MPH. HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. 1ST TIME, THEY SAID IT WAS THE TIRES AS THERE WERE NEW AND OVERINFLATED. TOLD TO DRIVE IT A FEW HUNDRED MILES. 2ND TIME AT DEALER, THE ROAD FORCED BALANCED AND REPLACED A TIRE. NO FIX. 3RD TIME, A SERVICE TECH ACTUALLY RODE WITH ME. LET THE VIBRATIONS, NOTED THEM AS WELL. AFTER WE ARRIVED BACK TO THE DEALER, WAITED 20 MINUTES UNTIL THE SERVICE TECH CAME BACK. TECH STATED THAT THE TRUCK HAS STIFF SPRINGS AND PERFORMED AS EXPECTED. THE TECH LOOKED LIKE HE DIDN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT. I HAVE HEARD ALL THREE OF THESE SCENARIOS FOR "FIXES" FROM OTHER TITAN OWNERS. IT MUST BE THE LINE THEY SELL US. ALSO, WHY DO NOT ALL TITANS HAVE THE SHAKE? DISAPPOINTING THAT NISSAN WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE OR ATTEMPT TO REALLY FIX IT. ISSUE HAS BEEN SINCE DAY ONE OF OWNERSHIP, JULY 2019.

1PE23020 · Loss Of Motive Power Due To Broken Crankshaft With No Ability To Restart.
Opened Nov 15, 2023 · Closed Jun 27, 2025
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Engine; Engine And Engine Cooling:engine:diesel
On November 15, 2023, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation PE23020 to investigate allegations of loss of motive power in model year (MY) 2016 through 2019 Nissan Titan XD trucks equipped with 5.0L Cummins diesel engines. The complaints allege the condition was due to a failure of the engine crankshaft. The purpose of the investigation was to understand the scope, frequency, and safety related consequence of the alleged defect. During the investigation, it was found that the subject vehicles can experience a loss of motive power due to a failure of the crankshaft main bearings which can lead to a fractured crankshaft. This resulted in a loss of motive power and an inability to restart. An analysis of all complaint sources shows many vehicles exhibit knocking, vibration, malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) warnings, and/or poor engine performance prior to a total failure. Some consumers report driving their truck in for repairs only to be diagnosed with a failed crankshaft. ODI has not identified any injuries or fires attributable to this failure. ODI is aware of one complaint alleging a non-injury crash involving a curb strike. ODI is also aware of complaints of overheating starter motors and melted starter motor wiring occurring after prolonged attempts to start engines that have suffered a broken crankshaft. In its response to ODI's January 26, 2024 information request letter, Nissan provided information detailing several material and process changes involved in the production of the subject vehicle’s engine.These changes appear to coincide with incremental improvements in failure rates but there is no indication that a single factor was the primary cause of the failures. Analysis of ODI consumer complaints and manufacturer provided data found that failure rates decreased progressively for each model year. Review of failure mileage found that 50% of the failures occurred by 60,000 miles with a significant decrease in failures after 80,000 miles. Assuming average yearly mileage driven, the newest model year trucks (2019) would be near or past peak failure mileage. Given the low failure rate, the observable warnings available to the driver, and much of the fleet being past peak failure mileage, ODI is closing this Preliminary Evaluation with no further action. The closing of the investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a defect does not exist, and NHTSA will take further action if warranted by future circumstances.
