What owners report
The truck suddenly and without warning drops into an un-acceleratable 'limp mode' while traveling at highway speeds in active traffic, presenting an immediate rear-end collision hazard. Nissan acknowledges this is a Turbo Failure and replaced it in 2021 and 2023 and now the turbo, actuator and dpf have all failed in less than 10k miles since the 2023 repair and refuses to cover it under the 10yr/150k mile warranty extension for the turbo.
See attached document
My truck currently has approximately 112,000 miles. Recently, it suffered a high-pressure CP4 fuel pump failure that sent metal debris throughout the fuel system. The failure has been diagnosed by both an authorized Nissan dealership and an independent diesel repair facility. Both concluded that the fuel system has been contaminated and requires replacement of the high-pressure pump, injectors, fuel rails, fuel lines, and related components. I was driving down the road in Atlanta traffic and on a 2 lane road when my truck all of a sudden started to lose power and stop in the middle of the road. A car behind me had to slam on brakes to avoid running into the back of my truck. There was no war
I have owned this vehicle since February 2025 and as of June 2026 the CP4 Fuel pump failed and causes the Cummings engine to shutdown and the vehicle is now immobile. According to recent research and diagnosis, the cost of repair will exceed the value of the vehicle which I am still paying on. It is my understanding that a class action lawsuit for this particular issue is in progress and Nissan is not taking ownership of the faulty part. I now have a vehicle I canât drive and I own a farm. I used this vehicle for towing and hauling livestock and now this issue is affecting my business. Nissan needs to repair or replace my vehicle given the fact they used substandard parts.
Engine is knocking at only 83k miles. No. 7 cylinder issue. Nissan wonât cover repairs even though theyâre aware of the design flaw.
