POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Whilst driving my 2023 Rogue the AWD light came on with a warning MALFUNCTION see owner’s manual and the check engine light came on. The start/stop/ idle feature turned off at the same time.. I was not able to stop so I reduced my speed from 55 to 40 and proceeded to finish the drive an additional 12 miles. I parked the vehicle and called for an appt at Nissan. I took the car in for service and when I got there I showed them the pic of what the dashboard was reading. I later received a text that no warning lights came on when the service tech attempted to drive it to make his report. I was recommended to pick up the vehicle and if it happened again to return. I cannot and will not drive this vehicle. I have only been driving the car for 7 months and this is the second issue I have had with it. I do not feel safe or comfortable driving it.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
On 6/22/2026, my vehicle was towed due to loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and excessive vibration, and unable to start. These issues have been ongoing since October 2025. Nissan dealership informed me that I needed a new throttle body and an oil change. Against my better judgement, I paid $1374.02 to replace the part. Two weeks later, My engine started making knocking noises, excessive vibration and completely shut down. Subsequently, I discovered that there is a recall for my vehicle directly related to engine oil bearing failure(NHTSA 26V080, AND Throttle body(NHTSA 26V081). This is an unresolved recall issue and this is both frustrating and disturbing because the manufacture is trying to use delay tactics and avoiding my free repair. This dealer improperly denies a legitimate safety recall when they are required to inspect parts, update software and replace damaged parts at no cost to me. I was told since my warranty has expired, it will not be covered. To say I am baffled, is an understatement. This has nothing to do with my warranty expiration, rather everything to do with over 642,000 U.S. SUV(model years 2023-2025) Nissan Rogue safety campaign. My vehicle is a 2023 and I am asking for some assistance with enforcing the company to honor this recall. In the end, these franchise dealerships want to save money but had no problem taking my money when the vehicle was purchased. More disturbing, my vehicle neither has not been torn down nor any diagnostic code been confirmed. After asking why, I was told that the engine is locked up and it will not show. Please assist me with my refund to out of pocket expense with throttle body and a new engine asap. Thanks.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I turned on my car and it started smoking. (White smoke out of the exhaust). I decided to drive it to the nearest Nissan dealership (approximately 4.7 miles). I noticed a sputtering and loss of power while driving. Approximately 3 miles into the drive, the check engine light and see owner’s manual warning popped up on the dash. I noticed the engine temperature was really high, and I noticed a dramatic loss of power. I turned on my hazards and I pulled into auto zone which was along the route. I put coolant into it and the engine began struggling to even start. I got it started and attempted to drive the remaining mile to the dealership. I wasn’t able to get enough power to enter traffic safely. I reversed by putting it in neutral. I then called a tow truck and had it towed to the dealership.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
The contact's mother owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle lost power with the message "Engine Malfunction - Power Reduced" displayed. The vehicle went into LIMP Mode and was towed to the dealer. The dealer initially replaced the water pump under warranty; however, several months later, the failure reoccurred, and the vehicle was towed back to the dealer, and the mass airflow sensor code was retrieved. The contact declined to pay the estimate provided by the dealer and sought a second opinion from an independent mechanic. The independent mechanic retrieved codes associated with the throttle body, knock sensor, and mass airflow sensor. The mechanic replaced the mass airflow sensor and the throttle body, but the failure persisted. Additional tests indicated an Engine Control Module failure, which the mechanic associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer acknowledged the report but refused to provide additional assistance because the vehicle had previously been repaired under the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

ENGINE
The engine failed, and yes its available for inspection, my safety was put at risk due to the white billowing smoke out the exhaust and the smell entering in the vehicle while driving down the interstate, i proceeded to pull off onto an exit and stop at a red light and my car made me put into park and then proceeded to not crank or move other then neutral, The problem was originally part of an active recall of R25D10 Reprogramming the ECM, and P4A470 replacing the turbo hose. I originally brought my vehicle to Nissan Dealership to have those fixed on February 6th 2026. However after finding that my vehicle ended up with low oil and dried my entire system of coolant, and then proceeded to turn off in traffic on August 22nd 2026, I became aware of an extended recall that did not notify me or my specific Vin yet in the system, however the recall had been upgraded since February 11th 2026. The only warning lights were saying I needed an oil change soon, the check service warning, and the coolant temperature gauge getting hot when my engine was needing to drive, and before shutting off the car told me to put into park, pressing on the gas would not move the car. The new recall codes are R25E2, and R25E3?

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The vehicle experienced a catastrophic engine/motor failure. The engine became extremely loud/rattled and subsequently locked up, causing the vehicle to lose the ability to operate. The vehicle is currently being held for diagnosis/repair and should be available for inspection upon request. The vehicle experienced the failure while I was driving and left me stranded on a mountain. The vehicle lost its ability to operate, creating a significant safety risk because I was left stopped and without reliable transportation. A sudden engine failure while driving could also create a traffic hazard for the occupants and other motorists. Yes. The vehicle has been taken to a Nissan dealership for diagnosis following the failure. The vehicle experienced a catastrophic engine failure/lock-up. I am requesting the dealership’s written diagnostic report and confirmation of the exact failed component. The vehicle has been presented to Nissan for inspection and diagnosis. Nissan is currently involved in determining the cause of the engine failure. There has not been a police inspection that I am aware of. I am requesting that Nissan preserve and provide all diagnostic findings, photographs, technician notes, and repair records. Prior to the failure, the vehicle began exhibiting abnormal engine symptoms, including a loud/rattling engine noise and difficulty operating normally. The symptoms occurred shortly before the catastrophic failure on August 14, 2026. The vehicle subsequently became inoperable when the engine locked up. I am requesting the dealer’s diagnostic scan to determine whether any warning codes or messages were stored before or during the failure.

ENGINE
While driving my 2023 Nissan Rogue at approximately 65 mph, the vehicle suddenly lost power while in motion, creating a serious risk of a crash and placing my safety and the safety of other motorists at risk. There were no oil warning lights, malfunction indicator lights, or other warnings indicating an impending engine failure. After losing power, the vehicle would not restart and was completely undriveable. It had to be towed to an authorized Nissan dealership. The dealership initially advised that the no-start condition was related to the battery cable and required me to pay for a battery cable repair. My battery was only a few months old and independently tested as good. The vehicle remained inoperable after the battery cable repair, and I was subsequently informed that the engine had failed. During the oil-pan inspection, the Nissan technician documented the inspection by video and specifically identified metallic debris in the oil pan. The dealership also reported sludge. I retained the dealership’s video documentation. My vehicle is subject to a Nissan safety recall involving engine bearing degradation that can result in engine failure and loss of motive power. The recall remedy includes inspection of the oil pan for metallic debris and engine replacement when necessary. Despite the loss of power at approximately 65 mph, engine failure, and metallic debris identified by its own technician, Nissan denied the recall repair based on sludge. Nissan Consumer Affairs also denied my escalation. I am requesting NHTSA review Nissan’s refusal to perform the safety recall remedy and determine whether the recalled bearing condition caused or contributed to this failure. The vehicle remains at the Nissan dealership and is available for inspection.

POWER TRAIN
My 2023 Nissan Rogue SL FWD began exhibiting a jerking/kicking sensation from the transmission starting in approximately June 2026. Initially, the vehicle moved smoothly on level surfaces, but whenever I had to apply the accelerator pedal from a stop to start moving, a distinct kick or jerk would occur. I did not initially consider this a serious issue. In July 2026, an engine repair was performed on the vehicle. Following that repair, the transmission jerking issue worsened significantly. It now occurs every single time I start the vehicle moving from a stop and press the accelerator pedal - not intermittently, but consistently. Notably, the jerk does NOT occur while the vehicle is at a standstill (e.g., stopped at a red light) - it only occurs during the initial acceleration from a stop. This behavior is consistent with widely reported CVT shudder/jerk issues documented by other Nissan Rogue owners, in prior NHTSA complaints, and in class action litigation regarding Nissan’s CVT transmissions. I am concerned this represents a safety-related defect, as unexpected jerking during acceleration from a stop (e.g., pulling into traffic or merging) could increase the risk of a collision. I am a single mother of three children, and this vehicle is my family’s only means of transportation. I am reporting this issue now, before an accident occurs, because I am concerned about the safety risk of unexpected jerking during acceleration, especially when merging into traffic with my children in the car. I am filing this complaint to formally document the issue with NHTSA and am also pursuing repair of this defect under the vehicle’s factory warranty.

I brought my car to my mechanic for a routine oil change and the drain plug on the oil pain failed. It is made with plastic and melted due to exposure to high engine heat rendering it useless and requiring the oil pan and drain to be replaced. When we called Nissan they said this is a known issue with several Nissan models and they have since had to retrofit a part to correct the malfunction. Had this plug failed while I was driving it could have caused massive engine failure. There were no indications there was anything wrong with my oil pan and this mechanic has done my oil changes on several cars for over 10 years. Despite the associate at the Nissan dealership we got the replacement part from acknowledging this is a known issue, no service campaign has been issued. I called Consumer affairs to discuss next steps in order to get this covered under warranty and was told to call back with my invoice information to submit for reimbursement. Upon calling back I was told they will not cover the repair as it was done at an independent mechanic which I was not informed of on my previous call. They assured me a supervisor would call me back by the end of the following day and I have not received a call from anyone. Failure for Nissan to take responsibility for a manufacturing defect is now leading to potential safety hazards and undue financial responsibility on its consumer's behalf since their employees are improperly trained. I will never purchase a Nissan again and can guarantee I will share this poor experience with everyone I know.
