general problems of the 2023 Nissan Rogue - part 1

I was mailed a letter about a recall for engine bearings. When I called the dealership, they told me they did not have the parts and that Nissan would reach out. Then I received another letter so I called back and scheduled an appt. Before the appointment, the car started exhibiting stalling behavior which included causing me hit a pot hole. Then critical engine warning lights came on, so Nissan towed it to the dealership. The dealership wants $5,000 for a bad turbo and says it is not covered under the recall, only engine bearings and a turbo hose are covered. I believe the ongoing engine failures, bad manufacturing, negligence on behalf of Nissan is causing these issues and it should be covered. This can also cause the throttle body to go bad, which would be another couple thousand dollars. This car is 3 years old, and I still owe 4 years of payments for an unsafe vehicle that I can not drive. I am attempting to escalate this with Nissan, but so far, it has not been covered.

I am writing to formally escalate a serious safety complaint regarding my vehicle, which is currently under an active recall and was already scheduled for repair next month. On a recent occasion, the vehicle suddenly and completely shut off while I was driving inside a tunnel, creating an extremely dangerous situation that could have resulted in a severe accident. At the time, I was driving with my family inside the car, including my 3-year-old son. The engine/electrical system shut down without any warning. Emergency assistance was required, and the police attended the scene due to the risk created. Vehicle VIN: 51n1bt3ab4pc798363 this is not an isolated issue. The vehicle has already shown previous failures, and the recall repair has not yet been completed. This ongoing defect represents a serious and unacceptable safety risk. I am requesting: 1. Immediate inspection of the vehicle 2. Urgent repair under recall conditions 3. Written confirmation of the cause of the failure 4. A formal response regarding safety liability in this incident given the severity of this situation and the presence of a young child in the vehicle during the failure, I expect this matter to be treated with the highest urgency.

While on the highway, the vehicle felt sudden loss of power and a burning smell. Immediately took the next exit and entered a gas station where large volume of oil leaking under the vehicle. Exited the vehicle and called for a tow truck to bring the vehicle to the nearest auto shop who informed me that the engine was damaged internally similar to what’s described in the recall and informed me to have the vehicle towed to the nearest dealership for the recall repair. The dealership informed me that they are unable to perform the recall due to being unable to scan the diagnostic codes therefore cannot inspect the engine/oil pan as per the recall instructions - informed me that the engine needs to be replaced first and that I should contact Nissan consumer affairs for a good-will engine replacement approval. I contact Nissan consumer affairs and was informed that they will not be replacing the engine and cannot perform the recall until the engine is replaced; instead offered me 50% off the engine replacement cost.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. While the contact's wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal burning odor coming from the vehicle. The contact stated that seconds later, the vehicle was surrounded by smoke. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the shoulder of the road. The contact stated that nearby drivers contacted the police and the fire department. There was no fire. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but no diagnostic information was provided. In addition, two unknown recall repairs were performed three weeks prior to the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly lost automotive power and failed to accelerate as intended. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed under NHTSA campaign number: 26v080000 (engine and engine cooling) and Nissan p4a47 (turbo hose). However, the dealer declined to perform the recall repairs because the turbocharger hose had ruptured. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 62,000.

While driving at approximately 70 mph on I-76 , a “cvt hot” warning appeared on the dashboard. Immediately after, the vehicle lost power and would not accelerate normally, creating a safety hazard in traffic. I was forced to pull over multiple times. This issue began after a recall repair was performed on the vehicle. The condition resolved temporarily after shutting the vehicle off, but the failure was sudden and dangerous. While driving, multiple warning messages appeared including awd system errors and check engine light. The vehicle’s performance became unstable and unreliable. This created concern about loss of control and drivability. The vehicle had recently undergone recall service, after which these issues began occurring intermittently. The vehicle was brought to an authorized Nissan dealership multiple for diagnosis of the cvt warning, awd errors, and loss of power. The dealership kept the vehicle for several hours on multiple occasions but stated they were unable to replicate the issue. No repair was performed any of the times. The safety concern remains unresolved. This continually happens and they yell at me saying there's nothing they could do. To be direct: I am aware that “unable to replicate” is often used to avoid opening warranty claims or authorizing costly repairs. However, this does not resolve the issue, nor does it eliminate the safety risk. The vehicle is demonstrably unsafe when the failure occurs, and the burden should not be shifted onto the customer simply because the issue is intermittent.

Engine malfunction warning - limp mode activated 6 times within a year of ownership. Car loses power while driving, rpm not responsive, speed drops and stays around 40 miles per hour. Recalls have been “addressed” but no remedy.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated after the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 26v080000 (engine and engine cooling), the vehicle experienced stalling and shuddering failures during acceleration. The contact believed that the recall repair failed to correct the safety issue. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 74,200.

There is a recall on my vehicle and I took it to the local Nissan dealer jones Nissan bel air, MD. 21014 and they said their manager called Nissan and they told them there’s no recall on my vehicle but it keeps showing up in the system that there is. At this point I don’t know who to believe and I want a vehicle that is safe and reliable. The dealership said they ran tests on it and nothing comes up and they are saying it’s fine. I’m just very skeptical at this point and are considering getting rid of the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact had received an email from a third-party vehicle service for NHTSA campaign number: 25v437000 (engine and engine cooling). The contact stated that days after receiving the email, the vehicle was starting to drive sluggishly at slower speeds and failed to accelerate as needed while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to a local dealer. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and associated the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 25v437000 (engine and engine cooling), and the vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was retrieved and after leaving the dealer, the failure returned. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer, and dtc: p0196-00 and p01f0-00 were retrieved. The dealer informed the contact that the codes were not related to the recall repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 78,881.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle made an abnormal clicking sound. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where the contact was informed that the VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 26v080000 (engine and engine cooling), and the dealer agreed to replace the engine free of charge. After the vehicle was returned to the contact, the engine started shuddering while driving at various speeds. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the engine mount was defective and needed to be repaired. The contact was provided an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and agreed to cover the cost of the part needed to repair the vehicle; however, the cost of labor was at the owner's expense. The contact was also informed that the vehicle needed to be serviced by an authorized Nissan dealer. A case number was provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000.

On two separate occasions, my 2023 Nissan Rogue has experienced major loss of power while driving 80 mph. The first time, all of the dash lights were blinking and there was an awful noise coming from the engine. I could not drive over 10 mph. The vehicle had to be towed 200 miles to the nearest Nissan dealer in billings, mt. They cleared the codes, test drove it and said everything was fine. The second time my vehicle had to be towed. 115 miles from the nearest Nissan dealer. Same issues, except this time there were no dash lights. Prior to all of this happening, my car had an open recall for the 1. 5l vc-turbo engine that my car has. Since the first time this occurred and Nissan "fixed" the problem, there has been no open recall. With the second occurance, Nissan had to replace the throttle actuator and gaskets according to the invoice. Luckily, I had purchased my own extended warranty and that warranty covered $1,104. 20 of the $1,204. 20 (I paid $100 CO-pay). I was charged $715 for towing from Nissan roadside assistance. The invoice claims the Nissan found the following diagnostic results: dtc p0507-00 wwhich is directly linked to a fractured internal gear in the electric throttle control actuator, the subject of NHTSA recall 26v081 and dtc p0196 which is directly linked to engine oil temperature performance, the precursor to engine bearing seizures addressed in NHTSA recall 26v080. Nissan is currently excluding many 2023 models from the "official" recall list. My car has 67,350 miles on it, but this failure should be covered by Nissan's 10-year/120,000-mile extended powertrain warranty. The parts replaced (throttle actuator and gaskets) and the diagnostic codes are identical to those in the 2026 expanded recall populations. Denying coverage based on an "open recall" statis is a violation of the spirit of the NHTSA safety mandates for this engine. I am formally requesting/demanding reimbursment from Nissan north America for the $815 that I have been charged.

Cvt light comes on and says power may be reduced in limp mode. Mil light came on motor is miss firing.

After a routine oil change, the check engine light came on and would not go off. Soon after the idling warning came on, blinking and indicating a system malfunction. The vehicle has been inspected by the Nissan dealership in my area and the piston has been damaged in the engine. This has put my family and myself at risk of having possible engine failure and possible car accident.

My light came on it said engine malfunction reduced speed service now I checked online for recalls found one and “got it fixed” I left the dealership and had to turn back as the light came back on got it “fixed again” I left later that day my transmission light came on and reduced speed I brought it back to dealership they then kept my car for almost two weeks “fixed the problem again” 3 days later had to bring it back a 2 days later got it back and now tomorrow I have to bring it back. Major safety issue my life is in danger every time I drive as it sporadically reduces speed to under 10 miles an hour I do not feel safe I can’t drive on the highway could you imagine if that happens with people driving 70 plus miles an hour behind me I will die and this needs to be addressed ASAP.

The contact owns a 2025 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal banging sound coming from the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle jerked back and forth and was shaking abnormally. The check engine warning light was illuminated. There was white smoke coming from the exhaust. The contact attempted to drive the vehicle to the shoulder of the road, and the engine seized. While attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to restart. The contact stated that after several attempts, the vehicle restarted. The vehicle was driven a short distance, and the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was repeatedly restarted and driven short distances until the vehicle was onto the shoulder of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that the recall repair could not be performed because some of the parts were unavailable. The contact stated that the vehicle was used for transporting an elderly aunt and nephew to medical appointments. The contact had received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 25v437000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

On 1/26/26 while driving my car started shaking. I felt unsafe driving and had the car towed to the dealership. They inspected the vehicle and could not notice the shaking but did perform recall service ntb25-05 as well as some additional items on the routine maintenance schedule. They said the recall was just an ecm software update and all should be well. 5 1/2 weeks later while driving out of town, the car suddenly felt like it lost the ability to "shift gears" and could barely make it up hills in an area that was all hills often times with no shoulder to pull off. The engine malfuction light reduce power was on. The Nissan dealer inspected and said admission valve readings were out of spec (second throttle body) and replaced. About an hour after this repair was complete and the car was driven out of the dealership, it again felt like was losing power, couldnt climb hills and service cvt power reduced light was on. (we just had cvt fluid flushed and replaced on 1/26. ) dealer removed and replaced cvt control valve assembly. The car is still rough idling and I am concerned that it will lose power with no notice again while driving putting me and others at risk. I am concerned that the throttle body and cvt issues are connected to the original ecm recall especially since other Rogues manufactured in a similar time are having throttle body issues and the fact that the codes related to the cvt issue can potentially be caused by metal shavings debris or even the ecm directly affecting the tcm and damage to the transmission.

I have a check engine light that just appeared on. I'm receiving messages that my Nissan Rogue may have an emission control system malfunction. I am advised not to drive the car above 45mph, avoid hard acceleration or deceleration, avoid steep hill grades, and reduce the amount of cargo being hauled if possible.

The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle went into limp mode and started sputtering. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to drive to the residence nearby. There was a significant amount of smoke coming from the tailpipe while driving into the driveway. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to tow the vehicle to the dealer and to obtain rental assistance at the owner’s expense. The dealer was notified of the failure, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the recall repair failed to fix the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

The contact stated that the oil pressure warning light was illuminated, and the message to “see owner's manual” was displayed. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle with a faulty battery, and the battery was replaced. The dealer inspected the vehicle and found a coolant leak. The dealer stated that the failure was not related to a recall and that the manufacturer had to approve additional diagnostic tests. The dealer stated the vehicle might experience engine failure not related to a recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.

On Friday my car wouldn’t start. I put in a request for aaa to come out and do a battery test. The technician comes out and hooks up my battery to the portable box and it still didn’t have the power to crank the car. The car turned on and was clicking it didn’t have enough power to actually start the car. My dad came and gave me a jump Saturday morning, and said he thinks I needed a new battery. I drove to advanced auto by my house had them perform a battery test and the told me the battery was complete shot. I had to spend $300 on a new battery. After I left there and got onto rt 70, the thermostat in the corner of the dash, the needle started moving up more towards the hot once I accelerated to 50 mph. The way home was a night mare as the car started to lose power, check engine light came on then the check oil light. At this point my car is jerking across the intersection where I had to put on my hazards and barely made it home. It’s weird this all happened within a day and so sudden. I got notification about the recalls and was thinking this is all related. Monday morning 3/3 I get the car towed to Nissan on rt 37, where the told me I needed a engine but not due from the recall. The recall was for oil temp and the car has a coolant leak that leaked on the engine and I would have to pay out of pocket. I asked for the report they haven’t sent anything over yet. I bought that car from carvana last March on the 17th, so it hasn’t been a year and they told me I’m out of my warranty’s at 71 thousand miles. I feel so defeated as I’m paying 500 a month for this is car and haven’t had it for a year. I’m reaching out to file a complaint or to see if there’s anything I can do on my end. With the coolant leak, I’ve never had any issues with the car prior as it drove regularly and never saw any residue on the ground. Nissan representative said she’s working with her manager to see if they can do a good will.

Engine loses power while driving.

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.

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was initially taken to an independent mechanic where the dtc for a failure with the turbo charger was retrieved. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer, where no errors codes were retrieved; however, the check engine warning light returned two weeks later, and the vehicle was returned to the dealer. The dealer then performed an engine cylinder pressure test which determined that the cylinder head had failed, and coolant was moving through the turbo charger assembly and the catalytic converter. Due to the damage, the contact was advised to replace the engine. Upon investigation, the contact discovered that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 26v080000 (engine and engine cooling) which was associated with the failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and was informed that since the vehicle had not produced dtc: p0424 (engine oil pressure low) the recall did not apply to the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that the vehicle had qualified for a goodwill repair. The contact escalated the issue to a supervisor and was informed that any decision made by the manufacturer was the final decision. The contact was provided a case number. The vehicle was not repaired and remained with the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 99,000.

I have taken my vehicle in 2 or 3 separate times since June 2025 to get this recall done, and gwinnett place Nissan keeps making excuses as to why they cannot do the recall for me. Now my vehicle is on the side of the road broken down because they failed to complete my recall multiple times.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated, and the vehicle accelerated slowly with the rpm at 3,500. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 25v437000 (engine and engine cooling) days later. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and it was confirmed that the VIN was included in the recall. After running the test, the dealer concluded there were no issues with the vehicle and that only the battery needed to be replaced. The dealer reprogrammed the engine control module (ecm) software for the NHTSA campaign number: 25v437000 (engine and engine cooling). The contact was informed that the vehicle was included in another recall regarding the turbo charger under dtc: p4847; and replaced the turbo charger hose. The contact replaced the battery. Two days after replacing the battery, the vehicle failed to exceed 35 mph, with the check engine warning light became illuminated. The vehicle was not returned to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

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.

Jc billon supposedly fixed the gas line recall but unfortunately my car still smells like gas from time to time and I have reached out numerous times with no call backs and they still have not reached out about the engine recall.

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.

During highway driving, my 2023 Nissan Rogue experienced sudden loss of power and entered limp mode without warning. Engine rpm surged abnormally, forward driving and collision avoidance sensors became disabled, and the vehicle could not accelerate properly. The fuel range also dropped rapidly during this event. This created a dangerous situation in traffic (I was in the mountains in virginia) and placed me and other motorists at risk. The condition is intermittent and did not leave diagnostic codes. The vehicle was taken to a Nissan dealership, where recall repairs and ecm reprogramming were performed, but no root cause was identified and there is no assurance the problem will not recur. I am concerned this is a serious safety defect involving loss of propulsion and disabled safety systems.

White smoke poured out of exhaust upon starting vehicle. When driving the vehicle will smoke and lose power/go into limp mode not letting you accelerate essentially causing you to stop in the middle of traffic or highway and causing the heat not to work. Same model with different VIN numbers are already on recall but my VIN number is not even though it’s the same engine and I’m having the same issues as the current recall.

Engine blew up before warranty ended and then engine replacement only lasted 1000 miles just blew up again.
