What owners wrote
Good Afternoon, My brother was driving my Nissan Titan XD 5.0 Cummins Diesel from Naples, FL to Ft . Lauderdale FL , and the truck was running fine at around 70-80 mph with no issues .As soon as he proceeded to the exit in Lauderdale around 60mph, all of a sudden truck flashed all kinds of warning lights came on randomly and motor shut down . Smoke coming from starter and solenoid below the fuse box. He is an engineer for North Collier Fire and put out the flames immediately .
The truck is leaking diesel fumes into the passenger compartment. The smell is more noticeable during a regen. The odor and fumes can become very intoxicating if stopped in traffic to the point you would need to roll the windows down or exit the vehicle for a break.
