2018 Nissan Titan

Recalls and owner complaints reported to NHTSA

Compared with the typical (middle) count of 412 complaints across the 6 model-year 2018 half-ton trucks we cover. Best-selling trucks naturally collect more complaints because more of them are on the road.

Price & value

We don't guess at prices. Get a real value for the exact truck from Kelley Blue Book, then see how the asking price compares.

Is it a good deal?

  1. Look up the truck on Kelley Blue Book. Choose its cab, trim, options, miles, condition and your ZIP code, and note the private party value (or the fair purchase price if you're buying from a dealer).
  2. Enter that value and the asking price below.
Check value on Kelley Blue Book ↗

Enter both numbers to see the deal rating.

The rating only compares the two numbers you enter: within 5% of the value is a good deal, 5–15% under is a great deal, and more than 15% under is a buy-it-now price. Know Your Truck isn't affiliated with Kelley Blue Book. Rust, accident history, lifts and mods, and service records all change what a truck is worth, so always get a pre-purchase inspection.

      Imminent catastrophic engine failure on 2018 Nissan Titan. The engine has developed severe cylinder wall scuffing and loss of compression (150psi vs 264psi spec) on multiple cylinders. This defect can cause loss of power and potential stalling at highway speeds, presenting a safety risk. The failure matches Nissan TSB NTB19-057 (knock/scuffing). Despite a perfect maintenance history, Nissan is denying warranty coverage by claiming there was no oil change service record because the maintenance was not done at a Nissan dealership. The local Nissan dealership confirmed the issue matches the TSB and an independent inspection confirmed the defect is mechanical (piston/cylinder clearance).

      My 2018 Nissan Titan has suffered two engine failures within two years, with fewer than 37,000 miles on the vehicle. Despite following all scheduled preventive maintenance, the engines failed catastrophically. One of these failures occurred with my family in the vehicle, placing their safety at serious risk. Details: The first engine failure happened at approximately [30,000], and the second at around [37,000], both requiring full engine replacements. These were not minor issues — they were sudden, complete losses of engine power. The second failure was especially dangerous, occurring while driving with my family onboard. Despite clear signs of a major defect or systemic issue, Nissan has refused to take responsibility, treating these catastrophic events as if they are routine, isolated failures. I followed all required maintenance schedules, and the vehicle was well cared for. Nissan’s lack of accountability is unacceptable and deeply disappointing. Based on this experience and their failure to stand behind their product, I will not purchase another Nissan vehicle and cannot recommend the brand to others. I am submitting this report to urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue as a potential safety and manufacturing defect that could affect more owners and put more families at risk.

      Oil doesn’t get to the 7th cylinder causing unrepairable damage. It’s a known issue by Nissan

    • Filed Jun 2024

      Earlier this year my 2018 Nissan Titan experienced catastrophic engine failure at only 56,376 miles. I then learned it was due to a manufacturing defect that is very common on 2017-2019 Nissan Titans and other Nissan models with the same engine. This issue is well known to Nissan as evidenced by Nissan Service Bulletin NTB19-057 which was first issued in July 2019. Most failures have occurred when the vehicles are so new that the manufacturer’s warranty provides engine replacement. Mine, unfortunately, occurred three months after the powertrain warranty expired. I filed a complaint with Nissan Consumer Affairs and Nissan took no responsibility and provided no financial assistance. I was forced to pay for engine replacement at a cost of $8,755.03. The website [XXX] has numerous forums relating to this issue with the main thread having 3000+ posts from owners who have experienced catastrophic engine failure. As these vehicles all have expiring powertrain warranties, Nissan is leaving owners like me to pay extremely high repair bills due to this known factory defect. As premature catastrophic engine failure is an obvious safety issue, Nissan should have the responsibility to issue a recall and repair these vehicles.

      The vehicle has recurring starting issues. The battery frequently becomes weak or completely unable to start, sometimes without warning. The issue occurs intermittently and appears electrical in nature. The vehicle may require jump starts or fails to start after sitting or after driving. This raises concern for an electrical or charging system defect. Battery has been replaced 4 times in the past 5 years. Jumped and charged numerous times in between.

      Transmission failed while driving. Placing my family and others in an unsafe predicament. This seems to be a common problem with Nissan transmission. A quick search on the internet show almost all cvt models do this from this company. How is there only a partial recall on some models?

    • Filed Sep 2025

      Erratic shifting. As an example, while attempting to pass at highway speeds, the transmission will not downshift responsively (or downshift to low gears/high rpm) leading driver to abandon the pass due to time lag, lack of confidence and power gain loss/stress. Other examples, this 7speed transmission will rev spike at low gears like it was slipping or confused, then it corrects itself. If you have cruise control enabled, the transmission seems to downshift on minor hill climbs, which is not something a normal driver would do. Overall, this transmission and TCM have had issues and recalls in the year prior to this model and in my opinion the flaws continue to exist and need a recall.

      Attempted to shift vehicle into four wheel drive high mode. 4WD error message appeared in center display, as well as traction control and ABS warning indicators. 4WD was inoperative. Attempted to shift into four wheel drive high multiple times, with no success. Not sure if the traction control and ABS warning indicators are actually indicating that these systems are inoperative or not. These warnings stay on after switching back to 2WD mode, and are only extinguished after the engine is shut off and restarted. I believe the lack of 4WD can be considered a safety issue depending on the weather conditions and where the vehicle is located when this failure occurs. Dealer confirmed issue, and is replacing the transfer case, under warranty. I did a bit of research on an internet forum covering this vehicle, and found that others have had this same issue, and it has been identified as a broken shift fork in the transfer case.

      My Nissan has 35 thousand miles on it it use it as a pleasure vehicle. I was driving the other day and it started shifting really high motor racing loud and not really going anywhere. It was like the transmission was slipping. It had never done this before. I thought it was a isolated incident but the next few days going to get gas and groceries (17 miles one way) it did it again this time starting in low gear the tachometer raced up to 5 -6 thousand rpm before it shifted and when it hit 2gear it did it again and 3rd gear all the time acting like the transmission was slipping. I read on some sites that this model has this problem and nobody seems to want to take accountability for this problem. I paid 33thousand dollars for this truck and it isn’t even broken in but it is broken! So help me what should I do I ask you first so you can give me guidance! Thanks [name removed]

      I PARKED THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLIN BACKWARDS. SECOND DAY PARKED IT AGAIN AT NIGHT AND WHEN I WOKE UP THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED DOWN AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ACCORDING TO THEM NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I WENT ON MY OWN AND DID THREE PARKING TESTS AND EVERY TIME IT ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. I FILMED THE INCIDENT AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. AT THAT TIME THEY KEPT THE TRUCK FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. THEY HAD A SPECIALIST FROM CORPORATE NISSAN COME IN AND HIS FINDINGS WERE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FINE AND THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THAT DOESN'T SOLVE THE ISSUE OF THE VEHICLE ROLLING BACKWARDS WHILE PARKED.I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 1/2 YEARS AND NO ISSUES UNTIL NOW. SNOW IS NOT A NEW SITUATION BECAUSE I LIVE IN UPSTATE NY. IT JUST STARTED ON 1/1/21 AND IT HASN'T STOPPED ROLLING BACKWARDS. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NISSAN IS NOT ADDRESSING. I DO HAVE THE VIDEOS BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO UPLOAD.

      Gas spilling out when refilling. Fuel tank had been whistling from beginning ownership in 2020 but no problem refilling. Most recently however gas will quickly overflow when attempting to fill. This has occurred several times recently, but it was never an issue before. Spillage is not dependent on tank volume. Spillage occurs when low and/ or mostly filled. I have to trickle gas from pump in order to fill, but this takes quite a while to put in several gallons. If I attempt to fill normally gas will come gushing out after a few seconds.

This behavior happens almost every single time acceleration is demanded and is not due to a lack of ATF fluid in the transmission.

This has been on going and constant behavior since I purchased This nissan Titan in 2021. Truck currently has 35k, and has had all service suggestions done. This is a danger to my family and myself as lack of power can cause extreme danagers when you are trying to gain speed to merge onto a busy highway and you are running out of roadway to gain speed and you have to use the emergency lane to have access to safe area to gain enough speed to safely merge.

      I placed my 2018 truck in park and left it running. Once I had retrieved my items from the truck, I stepped onto the running board and pushed the button to turn the truck off. It suddenly lunged forward, throwing me to the driveway. The truck proceeded to roll down my driveway, rolling over my foot, and across the street; hitting my neighbor's van. I sustained multiple injuries from being thrown to the driveway, my truck's front end was severely damaged, and my neighbor's van sustained damages. I feel all of this happened due to the recall of the 2020-2021 Nissan Titan for a roll away issue. I am out of pocket for deductibles to get my truck repaired and had to use my insurance to pay the claim for my truck and the damaged van. I feel this all due to a defect in the 2018 Nissan Titan Crew Max, that is evident in the recall of the 2021-2022 Nissan Titan.
