The engine overheated due to cooling fan malfunctioning.

July 1,2025 my car came to a complete stop heading to work and turned off due to engine malfunction. The engine light is the only light that lights up. I called Nissan they stated that currently they had an open recall that will go into effect in August due to engine failures. By Thursday state wide announcement was made on the radio that there is a recall on Nissan Rogues and other models for failure engine. I have had my car for 3 years and this is a 2020 year of make. I am highly disappointed bc I have been without a car since July 1st. I want it to be known that the 2020 of Nissan Rogue is affected by engine failure as well. And I am looking forward to receiving a notice from Nissan as stated end of August for diagnosis and repair.

The cooling fan is defective and is causing the vehicle to overheat major safety concern for my family .

The electric fan motor on the radiator failed. This caused the vehicle to overheat. The cap on the coolant reservoir did not actuate and the coolant reservoir exploded. The mechanical failure of the fan lead to a catastrophic failure of the coolant reservoir. If someone, a service tech or customer was under the hood when this happened they would most likely have died due to the extreme force and heated liquid coming out of the exploded reservior tank.

I had to replace my cooling system (fan, radiator, hoses, coolant) on this car after driving it only 30k miles. This led to over heating the car engine and stopped working because of that. . I was told by Nissan dealer it stopped working and they are seeing many of those issues related to the same car that I have. It costs me $1500 to replace it.

Radiator fan stopped working.

Engine shut off while waiting at a red light when pressing the gas pedal, everything else working find gear shit moving but car like disconnected,then 1 week later shuts off again at a drive through while pressing the brakes , remote start has never worked in the vehicle which is equipped with one, sometimes the screens shuts off while driving having to turn on and off the car multiple times until it works.

The cooling fan isn't coming on.

I was driving with my grandbaby when I heard a noise coming from the passenger side front wheel. I had it towed to hudson Nissan and was told my transmission need to be replaced. I never got any warning signs nor did my vehicle appear to drive differently.

My car just made 50k miles and the cooling fan has gone out. A google search for a more reasonable replacement option (I was quoted almost $1100 for parts and labor) led me to a message board of other owners with the same issue and a class action lawsuit against Nissan. If this is indeed a widespread and known issue, Nissan needs to own up to it and make it right.

On Saturday [xxx] while driving on [xxx] while in cruise control mode and set approx. 71 mph I know that my right knee made minimal contact with keyfob and the engine seemed to shut down and the vehicle decelerated immediately, I had no desire to brake due to my seeing my speed was near 30 mph. Traffic was not directly behind and all I was trying to locate was the 4 way hazard to engage which having only recently purchasing [xxx] and I had driven maybe 60 miles I located but with seeing a couple of vehicles approaching and being in the #2 lane my steering was stiff with little chance to get over safely to the #1 lane or to the further left hov lane, I reached down w/ right hand and made very minimal contact with ignition/ keyfob area and the vehicle had power and was able to regain speed. I absolutely did not attempt to turn the key that was still fully in place. I can not say that other than making contact with no aggressive action or intent was I to believe the vehicle would again be running as it had prior and I proceeded the remainder of my trip (approx. 15-18 miles) with no further issues and without a clue other than I had been made aware of the recall prior to purchase and told it was not anything to be concerned with that the jackknife keyfob seemed to lock in the open position fine, and to just leave it in that position, which I did not agree with that opinion as I read about this safety issue and have brought up on at least 4 occasions prior to and after the sale. We were actually informed by the finance mgr. Upon signing there were no recalls on this vehicle, which we made him aware of and he commented that it would be nice if somebody would let him know that! and I informed sales person on two separate occasions as well asking that it receive the final Nissan remedy yet never being taken very seriously and now unhappy with this event when I that my knee making such slight contact is disturbing! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Coolant fans went out.

My car stopped in the middle of an extremely busy road with no warning lights or signs that my engine was over heating due to a faulty fan giving more research into it there are thousands of people with Nissan Rogue’s experiencing the same exact issue and Nissan has not tried to fix the problem they are installing faulty cooling fans in peoples cars and putting them in dangerous situations when their cars overheat in heavy traffic they are going to cause the death of someone when their car stalls on a busy street with no warning or sign I was almost hit by several other cars.

About 50 miles in during a road trip, cvt transmission failed. Sluggish when accelerating, would not accelerate past 40 mph. Gear would not release to reverse or put into park to shut the vehicle off. Had to find an open field in order to turn around and drive back home due to not being able to reverse. Proceeded back with flashers on at a low rate of speed. When I reached home, I pushed the button to power off the vehicle, it gave a warning that it must be in park first but I was able to put the gear in park at this point. During the time of the incident and returning home, there was no warnings present on the dash. If I had been on the highway at 75 mph during this incident it might have been catastrophic! I called the Nissan dealership and was told to bring the vehicle in on Monday. It is still under warranty and just hit 50,000 miles. Upon researching, this seems to be a known issue with Rogues of certain years, mine included in 2020, with Nissan.

2020 Nissan Rogue sport s awd - the entire car unexpectedly shut down (I. E. : exactly as if the car was completely off) while driving on two separate occasions, almost causing massive accidents and potential severe injury and/or death for everyone affected. Fortunately, I immediately reacted to get on a shoulder lane and allow the car to slow down, even though the car had no power steering, breaks that malfunctioned, and an electrical system/lights that completely went dead. This is all due to the jackknife key recall, which was not properly disclosed by the dealership, and which Nissan refuses to properly address and fix the matter even while acknowledging that an accident could have caused severe bodily injury and/or death. Also, the recall permanent fix is negligent due to the fact that the key fob would have a plastic spacer that would require key fob to have the key out in the open position at all times. The issue is that the key fob was never engineered to be in an open position at all times, so it would most likely break fast. This would require the consumer to now pay thousands of dollars to have a a new key fob made and to replace the affected areas of the key slot. Nissan should be responsible for finding a permanent fix , which should be to replace all affected parts with new ones, instead of inserting a cheap plastic spacer in the key fob which would require it to stay erect 24/7 all in the name of profits. The lives of our family members, kids, loved ones, and anyone affected are more important than Nissan's cheap fix (a cheap plastic spacer that probably costs less than $0. 99 to produce, all in the name of increased profits and decreased costs by finding the most unsafest and cheapest solution possible. What if the spacer breaks, since the key will get destroyed being erect 24/7 in someone's pocket all day, and this happens again! Nissan should be mandated to either replace all affected parts with completely new parts or buy the car back above value.

Cooling fan stopped working. I was told by the Nissan dealership this is a big issue with this specific vehicle and that it’s hard to get the part because this is always an issue. No messages appeared. My ac stopped working and I took it to the dealership were they said if I drive with the cooling fan broken it will explode. How is this not a recall? this has been reproduced by all Nissan dealerships and the Nissan dealership is who told me this and diagnosed my car.

Vehicle has 61k miles and the a/c began blowing cold and hot intermittently as the car was idle but no engine lights were coming on. 5 days later a mechanic was able to look at vehicle and discovered the one fan responsible for entire car wasn’t not coming on and it was only the air being pushed into the front of vehicle by having it in motion that was turning the fan thus making the vehicle blow cold air when in motion and keeping the engine cooled. No warning lights were coming on and staying on.

The cooling fan has gone out in my 2020 Nissan rouge sport and I cant not order the parts to fix my car because they are not released by Nissan I even took it to the Nissan dealership and they told me the same thing the parts are not out I need a vehicle to go back and forth from work what am I I supose to do if I cant properly fix my Nissan 2020 rouge sport.
