2017 Titan SL Replaced Short Block - Now more issues NOT covered by original warranty or extended

I am a long time Nissan owner. I (and my kids) have bought 20+ cars from one dealer and currently own the 2017 Titan and a 2020 Nissan Murano SL. I found the engine knocking issue at 66k miles and the short block was recently replaced. When I received the vehicle back the heat did not work and then about a week later it started throwing codes. P2082, P2080, P0545, P0547, P0544, P0548. I just received a call from the dealer and the news is failure of the exhaust sensors bank 1 and bank 2. Cost to replace $800. I was also having a problem with the sonar backup sensor (unrelated to the short block situation) and replacement of one sensor plus the wiring harness $1,200. This is also not covered by the original 5 year 100k warranty nor the extended warranty. They are going to see what they can do but I find it hard to believe that the exhaust temperature sensors just happened to fail at the same time the engine block was replaced. Anybody else out there had a similar situation?

I am pretty disgusted with Nissan at this point...not sure I will be a long term Titan owner.

It may (will most likely) become an issue of making the evidence obvious. Get an automotive stethoscope and isolate the “touch points” where the sound is clear, then insist he listen. Take a witness with you.

I bought this, it has two cameras and takes amazingly clear pictures and videos. I saw a you tube mechanic put it in a spark plug hole and could read the part numbers on a piston. It’s worth every penny I paid and if I thought I heard a knock the side view camera would give me my answer.

Thank You Clint, I just bought it off Amazon for like $89.00 is the Business price as I have a business account with them that I can charge on. Thanks for the advice too, am going today for an appointment with the GM at the Dealership I bought the Titan from a Nissan Dealer. I'll keep ya'll posted on what he says and does about it.

I have a 2018 Nissan titan with 59,000 miles. I had the same situation with my engine knocking took it to one dealership they could not hear it. I took it back to another dealership where I bought it and they replace the whole short block, assembly brand new as of now, there is no noise but will continue to listen as time goes on. I don’t know if I’m going to keep this or not will get back to you all.

Welcome to the forums. Glad to read they took care of you in good order.

For my part, I enjoy the Titan more than any previous truck I've owned, and since my short-block replacement the engine is noise free (except for the normal valve train noise and such).

Very likely I'll stay with it, at least for as long as we are camping and need to tow my wife's periodic campsite castle.

I am at 40k on my engine swap and noise free

Time to get rid of that vehicle. Period parts availability is going to become very difficult. Might as well get the best resale value our prices are still high. I got a very good deal trading in my titan for my F250
I’m staying with the Titan for several reasons, the foremost being 1) it’s paid for, and 2) the core of the engine is new. I don’t see it going belly up on me before I go on to my reward.

I do hope Nissan comes back after a few years with a reworked Titan. Somebody in their marketing department has to be afflicted with crainal rectunitus, because they have utterly failed to promote the truck on the value of its merits.

IMHO

i don't buy a vehicle planning on keeping its value high for trade in so i am not worried about trading mine in. vw quit making karmann ghias years before i got mine. shoot, they quit making bugs years before i got the karmann ghia and i could still get parts for the ghia. i am not worried a bit about lack of parts because i know someone will provide parts for the armada, which shares so much with our trucks. and titans will start showing up in the junkyard so i can get parts there, too.

and my truck is our travel truck so its not racking up tons of miles anyways. if i need another truck, i will just have two trucks

My wife tried to trade the titan for a 1794 tundra today. It was a 2019, so not the ugly large mouth bass turbo ones but it just didnt have anything my titan was missing and had a higher price. I told her no, my truck was fine and i had no desire to get rid of it.

I told she could trade her car for it, which she strongly considered but decided the tundra was to big for her. Then she almost got a limited model tacoma. That was a nice truck for her. But in the end, she said no and we still have her touring edition mazda3.


Her problem is she wants the 360 view camera and heated seats but everything with that costs alot.
