ENGINE
A whole lot of mess! I recently bought my 2022 nissan rogue in May of 2025. We took it to the regular oil change and check ups and nothing concerning came up. We got mail for a recall and I brought it in and the Nissan dealership in Elk Grove, Ca turned us down and said "it was not in their system yet." So, took it again and still the same answer. Well in November before thanksgiving, we started the car and white chemical smell of smoke came out which was the coolant. We towed it to our own mechanic because these dealerships will screw you. Now it's been a whole month that our car has been sitting at the mechanics. Engine was torn apart, everything was all broken and needed to be replaced. My mechanic called the dealership and said they will not pay for it even if it was their issue. Now I'm trying to get my warranty to pay for it since I purchased it. I will not be paying the $10,000 to get that vehicle fixed. I will be seeking an attorney for this lemon car.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
The vehicle, a 2022 Nissan Rogue with the 1.5L VC-Turbo engine, suddenly entered severe limp mode: unable to exceed 35-40 mph on flat roads, barely 10 mph on hills, with high RPM and noise. The malfunction indicator light illuminated along with "engine malfunction service now" message and triangle warning light. These symptoms exactly match the early warning signs in safety recall 25V-437 for defective engine bearings that can cause progressive degradation, engine damage, or failure.The vehicle was towed to an authorized Nissan dealer, who performed the recall inspection (oil pan drop) but reportedly found no metal debris. The dealer then diagnosed separate issues—oil temperature sensor, coolant temperature sensor replacement, full oil pan replacement for minor seepage, and other warning lights—and quoted approximately $1,900 in customer-paid repairs, claiming they are unrelated to the recall or warranty despite the symptoms aligning precisely with the recall's description of bearing-related limp mode.This created a safety risk due to sudden loss of motive power while driving, increasing the potential for a crash. As a full-time cancer researcher and PhD student who depends on this vehicle for daily lab commuting and time-sensitive experiments, the breakdown and repair dispute have caused major hardship: over a week without transportation, extensive time coordinating tows, appointments, and escalations with Nissan Consumer Affairs, and disruption to critical research.The dealer confirmed the limp mode and warnings, and inspected the vehicle under the recall procedure. Warning lamps/messages appeared suddenly prior to towing; no unusual noises noted earlier. The affected components (engine controls/sensors potentially stressed by the bearing defect) remain at the dealer for inspection.The recall should provide free ECM reprogramming, oil change, and gasket replacement even without debris, yet the dealer is charging for diagnostics and repairs from the same defect.

ENGINE
I was advised by the dealership that my EGR cooler needs replaced due to it failing. My car was acting like it was going to stall out on several different occasions and the malfunction warning light would also come on. The car would have no heat due to all the antifreeze leaking out. I have white smoke coming out of the tailpipe with a strong odor. I’ve had the car maybe 6 months! There are a lot of complaints regarding this issue that have been fixed under the latest engine recall but I’m being told I have to pay for it to be fixed. I find it odd there’s so many people with the same issue and is being rectified due to the engine recall

STRUCTURE:BODY
I am submitting this complaint regarding a persistent water intrusion defect in my 2022 Nissan Rogue Platinum that Nissan has not formally addressed through a recall, despite published Technical Service Bulletins acknowledging the issue. During periods of heavy rain and when using automated car washes, water enters the cabin from the sunroof area on both the passenger and driver sides. I discovered this only after observing blue soap residue running down the interior side panels, and upon further inspection have since noticed signs of mold growth inside the vehicle within the past month. After researching this problem, I learned that this issue is well documented and widespread among 2021–2023 Nissan Rogue vehicles. Nissan has issued multiple Technical Service Bulletins, including TSB BT21-020B, identifying defective sunroof drain clips and revised repairs. However, Nissan has not issued a recall or formal owner notification, despite the clear pattern of failure reported online across consumer forums, Reddit, and Nissan owner communities with hundreds, if not thousands, of similar complaints. I was forced to seek repair through a local Nissan dealership, which charged me $289.24 for the repair. This defect is not the result of wear and tear or misuse, but of an inherently defective design component that allows water intrusion into sealed vehicle compartments. This defect creates health risks from mold exposure, risks damage to interior components and electronics, and reduces vehicle resale value. I believe Nissan should have issued a safety recall rather than shifting financial responsibility to owners for correcting a known manufacturing defect. Continued water intrusion and mold formation represent a health and safety concern that warrants NHTSA review. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this matter and require Nissan to issue a recall or provide reimbursement coverage to affected owners. Thank you for your consideration.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
While driving at highway speed, the vehicle suddenly lost all engine power without warning and rapidly decelerated in traffic. This created a severe safety risk, and the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The issue was later connected to open recall R25A8, involving engine bearing failure and sudden loss of power. The dealership confirmed that no inspection procedure or repair remedy exists and stated that they have no timeline for when Nissan will provide one. Despite this, the dealer returned the vehicle to me and claimed it was safe to drive, even though the problem remains unresolved. Nissan Consumer Affairs refuses to communicate in writing and only provides verbal phone calls. Each time they call, they state that they will “provide an update in three days,” but no real progress or written documentation has been provided. Meanwhile, I am left with a vehicle that experienced a complete loss of power on the freeway and remains unsafe to operate. Independent diagnostics showed multiple critical fault codes involving the engine, ECM, ABS pump motor, and brake control modules. Warning lights appeared only after the failure; there were no warnings prior to the incident. The safety defect is ongoing, unresolved, and there is currently no available remedy from the manufacturer, leaving the vehicle unsafe and posing continued riskI am requesting a full buyback of the vehicle with compensation for all related losses. I have already communicated this request to Nissan, and as mentioned above, they only call with delayed updates and do not resolve the issue.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE EXPERIENCED UNUSUAL ENGINE NOISES, ROUGH ENGINE PERFORMANCE, ILLUMINATION OF THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL), AND WARNING MESSAGES DISPLAYED IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE ENGINE HAS FAILED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER TWICE, ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY. I have been to the dealership mechanic 3 times with this issue, the first occurred prior to the recall coming out. The Last time I was told to pay for a diagnostic or they would not be able to help me; I paid and was told they could not find anything relevant to my issue. I was just told that there was no further information occurring from this recall. I feel as if the car is almost undrivable. It is definitely unsafe and unreliable. And a car constantly revs at 6000 RPM's prior to switching gears if it switches gears. At this point I don't know what to do and regret buying a Nissan as they won't even help.

I am filing a complaint regarding my 2022 Nissan Rogue SV AWD, which has an active safety recall with no available remedy. I was unaware of this recall at the time of lease, as the dealer did not inform me. After confirming the recall, I also found that it cannot currently be repaired. When I notified the dealer about the recall, they dismissed my concerns and hung up the phone, when I was trying to address the issue, and come to find out, the sales man who sold me the vehicle doesn’t even work there anymore and I could t contact him at all.

Losing power with the vehicle, 6 weeks ago, and have been told that the turbo package has to be replaced. In checking with the part replacement, it’s on back order from the manufacturer and no firm date has been given by Dealership on when this will be resolved. This occurred with no check engine light or warning system alerting me. Was unable to drive faster than 40 mph, putting me and my family at risk of being involved in a serious accident for those able to drive faster than we were. There is a current recall on the engine with no remedy per the dealership and corporate representive but they consider the “turbo package” not part of the engine? Concerned with the turbo package on back order that there are more vehicles experiencing the same problem that I am having and that there maybe some “cover up” by the manufacturer and want to make sure that this is being investigated. Please advise next steps

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
While driving, multiple warning lights appeared on the dashboard, including the check engine light, malfunction indicator, and crash sensor warnings. A message then displayed: “ENGINE MALFUNCTION POWER REDUCED SERVICE NOW.” The engine began making loud knocking noises, lost power, and the vehicle entered reduced-power mode. The issue appears to be related to the ongoing engine bearing failure recall (R25A8 / 25V-437) affecting Nissan vehicles with VC-Turbo engines. Because of these symptoms and the risk of complete engine failure or loss of motive power, the vehicle became unsafe to drive and was parked. The problem poses a serious safety risk, as the loss of power occurred suddenly while the vehicle was in motion, which could cause an accident if it happens in traffic. The problem has not yet been repaired because the manufacturer has not released the full recall remedy. I called the Nissan Dealership in Greeneville TN, at 8:53 AM EST on 11/08/2025 the vehicle is currently parked at my residence. I was advised by the dealership to call back on Monday morning to schedule an inspection at a Nissan dealership. Warning lights and the “Engine Malfunction Power Reduced” message first appeared shortly before the loud knocking began and power loss occurred on the vehicle.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). However, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. No warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to move to the side of the road. The contact called Roadside Assistance, and the vehicle was jump-started. However, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to a shopping center, where an AutoZone was located. An employee from Auto Zone used a reader and retrieved DTC: P0012, P0196, C10511c, C108086, and C10B344. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and it was determined that the water control valve had failed, and the transmission mount needed to be replaced. The dealer replaced the transmission mount and the water control valve; however, the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was still vibrating. The contact had safety concerns about driving the vehicle since the part was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

While driving my 2022 Nissan Rogue, the engine suddenly shut off without warning and the vehicle would not restart. There is an active engine recall, but Nissan has not provided a repair or parts for several months. This unexpected loss of power put my family’s safety and mine at risk, as the incident could have caused a serious accident if it had occurred in traffic or on a freeway. The dealer confirmed the recall but cannot complete the repair until Nissan provides instructions. No warning lights appeared before the failure, though the Lane Departure and Collision Warning lights came on after the stall.

My engine kept having a rough performance in idle and driving. It made rattling noises when accelerating. Took it to Nissan dealerships multiple times and was told it was SAFE TO DRIVE in that condition and it can be in regards to the current safety recall on this vehicle. They REFUSED to provide a loaner or state I may need to stop driving this car. There is currently no remedy available. My car finally gave out on 10/26/25 when THICK WHITE SMOKE came out of it as I’m driving causing me to lose power on an expressway that maintains speeds up to 60 MPH or more. I could’ve have been ran into from behind . I had it towed to the dealership they submitted info to the warranty department. And they DENIED it stating it had nothing to do with recall. When it fact it does because the inter cooler and turbo are a part of the engine and the recall states the defect can cause other engine components to fail. NISSAN IS A COMPLETE JOKE. No warning lights came on or anything in regards to this issue even when the engine failed.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I had been having issues with my vehicle randomly stalling out when I would start it and put it into reverse. It also was hesitating during acceleration at times. On 9/2/25 I took it to a Nissan dealership for these issues and was told they couldn’t find anything wrong. I specifically asked if it could be related to the recall I had just received notice about in the mail and was told ‘probably not’. The issues persisted off and on the next few weeks and I was about to call them to let them know things were still not working right and some things had gotten worst (like almost stalling out in the middle of the day at a light). On 10/21/25 (6 weeks after the dealership said there was nothing wrong with my car) I started having major problems driving home and the heat would not work. I barely got it home and by then it was running very rough. Husband looked and said there was almost no antifreeze and added some. He said I couldn’t drive it and we had to tow it in the morning. Tow truck driver nearly started it on fire because he couldn’t get it into service mode and it started smoking terribly for the 30 seconds it was on. Nissan Dealership (different one) said there were five 2022 Nissan Roque’s with the same problem ahead of me. After almost a week they called to tell me Nissan is replacing the ‘engine long block and turbo’. I’ve had to rent a car at $400/week and have no idea how long this is going to take. Thankful I wasn’t driving when things got really bad. Also - NO service lights have ever come on indicating anything was wrong at any point.
