Consumer Description

I was traveling on the freeway at 75 miles per hour, the truck began to bog down for a few seconds then started to shake violently as if a tire was falling off, a few seconds later the engine shut off at maybe 60 miles per hour. I was unable to steer or brake properly and had very little control of where I was able to pull over. I had no power at all and the truck would not start. I was stuck on [XXX] in central Utah with drivers side tires of the truck in traffic on the right lane unable to pull over more or move the truck to a safe location. My wife and daughter were in the vehicle and I made them exit the vehicle and find a somewhat safe place to sit on the side of the freeway. It failed completely without and check engine light, the engine temperature never spiked until after it failed. The vehicle was obstructing traffic for 45 minute to an hour while I waited for a small town mechanic to come and tow it. This incident occurred the end of May 2023 and the truck is still not functioning as I cannot afford the $18-22,000 engine replacement for a broken crankshaft. The vehicle has 77,000 miles on it. It failed without any warning signs and definitely put my life, my families life, and 1000's of passing motorists at risk for an hour straight as the vehicle was incapacitated and obstructing traffic. I have read 100's of forum posts an articles concerning this same issue with zero concern from Nissan. The local dealerships claim they have never heard of this issue, but it is a known issue and could cause a fatal or catastrophic accident. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
