ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). The contact stated that there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine. Once the accelerator pedal was depressed, the abnormal sound was heard for a short while before the noise ceased. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that while driving at a slower speed, the abnormal sound was more frequent. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. However, no cause for the failure was found. The dealer informed the contact that the sound was normal for the size of the engine. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve had failed. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.

I was driving my vehicle after dropping my son off at school and my back windshield exploded without warning. I was unsure what to do and there was nowhere to pull over. I drove home and called my local Nissan dealer who I was leasing the vehicle from and they said the repair would not be covered. I used a local windshield replacement company and paid out of pocket to have the windshield replaced.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While making a left turn at approximately 10 mph in light snow conditions, braking became severely impaired with pedal pressure present but vehicle failing to decelerate, and steering became significantly resistant and insufficient to redirect the vehicle away from the obstacle. Vehicle continued toward a tree despite brake pedal input and steering input away from the tree. Slippery road warning light activated before and during the incident. Multiple additional warning lights activated during and after impact. Airbags did not deploy despite collision. Post-incident, steering required significant opposite steering input to drive straight for approximately 1.7 miles to reach a safe parking location, consistent with front-end damage affecting steering alignment. Prior to this incident, I experienced multiple separate occasions where braking felt abnormal and insufficient in conditions requiring higher traction including rain and snow. I verbally reported this concern once to an authorized Nissan dealer in December 2025 and was told this was normal AEB system behavior. No documentation was created for this verbal complaint. Vehicle had a prior manufacturer recall performed at an authorized Nissan dealer on June 1, 2024 reconfiguring the IPDM/USM — the module controlling electronic steering column lock and CAN bus safety system communications. At that same visit, the Nissan technician documented abnormally dirty brake fluid at only 14,410 miles on this 2023 vehicle. A second manufacturer recall reprogramming the ECM was performed at an authorized Nissan dealer on December 4, 2025, approximately two months before this incident. The vehicle is available for inspection. No independent or dealer post-incident inspection has occurred. An insurance claim has been opened. Incident occurred within the 3-year/36,000-mile manufacturer warranty period at under 31,000 miles.

ENGINE
My 2023 Nissan Rogue SV engine failed on February 8, 2026. It is currently not on the recall list, but has the same engine as on the recall list. I have contacted Nissan multiple times with no help. My Nissan has 108000 miles and I should have a documented case open with Nissan now. Nissan should repair my engine. I spent $24000 on this vehicle one year ago. This is unacceptable. The vehicle is sitting at the shop with cylinder three filling up with fluid. The Rogue never showed any check engine lights or anything. It just failed. It has the 1.5 liter 3 cylinder turbo engine. The vehicle started shaking. I parked the vehicle then it would not start back. Had it towed to shop to diagnose issue. They confirmed castastropic engine failure.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Upon entering the vehicle and shutting the driver side door to drive home the back windshield imploded without any warning. The hatch was not used that day and with the shutting of the drivers side door the rear windshield made a popping noise and caved in completely on itself all over the back of my vehicle before the vehicle was even turned on. There were no previous cracks, no signs of wear and the vehicle was only a year old bought brand new. We are currently over the miles on the warranty (barely) and Nissan Corporate advised to take it to a local dealership and the local dealership told me I had to call corporate. No one could explain why this would or could happen to the vehicle. The weather was not frigid nor hot at the time of this event. Nissan is not taking responsibility for a faulty product even after I addressed the current class action lawsuit other Nissan Rogue owners have put up against them for the same issue. Luckily my toddler son was not in the vehicle at the time that this happened in his carseat or he would have ended up with the potential of shatter glass landing on him. Additionally if I was driving at the time that is a huge risk of distraction, crashing, and the mess of debris. There is was no warning, no previous damage, and nothing that anyone has offered to do to help. The quote to get the rear windshield replaced will have to be paid completely out of pocket. I suspect that due to mass producing these vehicles they did not take the time to make sure proper safety measure have taken place. Time stamped photos and a case with Nissan Corporate have been put into place.

ENGINE
I took my car to a Nissan Dealership to remedy recall 25V437. All they did was test drive it and reprogram the ECM. They never even looked at the engine oil per their own remedy instructions.This is not satisfactory and is out of process with the procedure described by the NHTSA. Catastrophic engine failure can occur due to this issue.

ENGINE
1) My 2023 Nissan Rogue experienced a catastrophic engine failure, and it is available for inspection. 2) The safety of myself and my grandchild was at risk when this happened while I was driving the vehicle. 3) We had the vehicle towed to the Nissan dealership where we purchased the vehicle. Within a very short period of time, we received a call from the dealership stating the head gaskets were blown and would require a complete engine replacement. 4) The vehicle has been inspected by a Nissan service department. My vehicle is a part of a recall for the1.5L VC-Turbo engine family. The service department said their protocol was to read the ECM, and if it did not indicate bearing failure, the recall did not apply. 5) Prior to engine failure, the vehicle began running rough. At no point did we receive any overheating warnings, temperature alerts, or coolant system notifications. This began happening about 3 days before the engine stopped working. I will attach below the correspondance between myself and the Nissan service department.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
See attached document for complaint. I received a safety recall notice on my 2023 Nissan Rogue back in August 2025. We are in December, 2025 and the dealer sti ll states that Nissan has not provided parts to repair my car. The reason for the recall is quite serious yet Nissan has not responded to the problem. I am looking to you to take what ever action you can to force Nissan to repair my car to a safe condition. If there is any additional action I can take, please advise what t hat may be. This has gone on long enough. Thank you in advance for any help on getting this problem solved that you can provide.

ENGINE
The moment it happened I'm cruising at 75 mph, highway humming under the tires, everything normal. Then—without warning—the engine doesn’t just stumble, it fails. A sudden jolt, a surge of noise that doesn’t belong, the power dropping out like someone pulled the plug on the entire vehicle. In a split second, your brain goes from autopilot to full survival mode. My hands tighten on the wheel. My eyes snap to the dash. My mind is already calculating: *Shoulder? Speed? Traffic? What’s behind me?* It’s the kind of moment where you don’t think—you react. And afterward, when the car finally coasts to a stop and the adrenaline drains, you’re left with that hollow, shaky feeling that only comes from a real scare. Why the sounds bother me now I think my reaction now isn’t irrational. It’s your nervous system doing exactly what it’s designed to do after a sudden, dangerous event. When something fails at highway speed, your brain tags it as a threat. So now: - A faint rattle becomes “Is it happening again” - A vibration becomes “What did they miss” - A normal engine note becomes “What if I’m not safe” That’s not weakness. That’s pattern recognition. It’s your brain trying to protect you from a repeat of a moment that could have gone very differently.

Engine failed while driving at a high speed while driving in the middle lane on the Garden State Parkway. The engine light came on and my speed started to decrease. Thankfully I was able to pull to the shoulder before the car stopped completely. I got the information about the recall after this happened and was dated for the day after the failure. It has since been replaced through warranty.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. While driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle decelerated to 30 MPH. The vehicle went into LIMP Mode; however, the vehicle was able to be driven to a certified mechanic. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the catalytic converter could have contributed to the failure. The mechanic retrieved DTC: U06652 and U2105 and associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The mechanic cleared the fault codes, and the vehicle was driven to the dealer. The dealer was unable to retrieve any fault codes. The fault codes returned after leaving the dealer, and the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was returned to the dealer the following day, and the dealer reprogrammed the engine control module(ECM) software. The failure persisted and the dealer then diagnosed the vehicle with an emissions failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,200.
