4 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2026

The defect: my 2023 Nissan Rogue awd equipped with 1. 5l 3 cylinder vc turbo engine began making growling,, shaking noises matching the symptoms of known engine main bearing failures as outlined in NHTSA recall 25v437/26v080 (r25e2). This happened with only about 44,000 miles on my vehicle. I brought it in to oak ridge Nissan under the recall on September 22, 2026. . I was expecting them to check the oil pan for any metallic debris or further related problems. The service mechanic noted: "reprogram ecm and complete test drive with no dtc po524 present. Good condition r25e20 0. 9. " the mechanic also noted "transmission mounts. Just the one vibrating badly possible motor mount also but would need tostart with trans mount. " (which they listed as a $1,146. 76 expense. ) I was told this is my responsibility but it is not usual for a car with 44,000 to have this kind of problem. I don't feel they inspected this problem in a sufficient professional manner. Warning safety problem: the car had a engine malfunction when I brought it in. It now reads awd malfunction the nature of this engine sound, awd warning, and "auto start/stop dashboard warning,, and recalled problem render this vehicle unsafe to drive. I have owned three other Nissans over the years and this one is the most problematic - it should not have this kind of problem at such low mileage.

5 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 09/12/2026

I am filing this complaint regarding my 2023 Nissan Rogue due to a serious engine malfunction and concerns that a safety recall may not have been properly completed. My vehicle developed an “engine malfunction” warning with reduced power and became unsafe and undrivable. The vehicle had to be towed to a repair facility. An independent diagnostic performed afterward indicated a possible throttle body issue. Prior to this incident, I took the vehicle to a Nissan dealership because of an applicable recall. The dealership told me that the recall had been repaired. However, when I checked the vehicle’s recall status afterward, the recall still appeared as unrepaired/incomplete. I also was not provided adequate documentation explaining exactly what was inspected, what was repaired, or how the dealership determined that the recall was successfully completed. I am concerned that the recall-related defect may not have been properly addressed and that this could have contributed to the engine malfunction and sudden loss of power. I am requesting that NHTSA review this matter and determine whether there are other complaints involving this recall, the 2023 Nissan Rogue, loss of power/engine malfunction, or throttle-body-related problems, and whether the recall remedy is being properly performed. I can provide repair records, diagnostic information, photographs, recall information, and documentation from the Nissan dealership if needed.

6 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 09/11/2026

While driving on a major public highway, the vehicle suffered a sudden, catastrophic loss of motive propulsion, dropping immediately into a dangerous transmission limp mode. The dashboard displayed a critical error message stating 'service cvt power reduced' alongside a check engine light. The vehicle became an immediate stationary traffic hazard in a live highway lane, completely unable to accelerate or move safely out of the way of oncoming high-speed traffic. The hazard was severe enough to require an emergency safety response from the gwinnett county police department (case #pd262540884) to secure the scene and protect the disabled vehicle until a flatbed tow truck could remove it. A subsequent diagnostic scan by a certified corporate dealer (premier Nissan) confirmed complete internal transaxle failure, throwing diagnostic trouble codes p0741-00 (torque converter), p0746-00, and p187e-09.

7 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 09/03/2026

While driving at speed with a newborn infant in the vehicle, my 2023 Nissan Rogue suffered a sudden and catastrophic engine failure related to NHTSA recall 26v080000. The vehicle suddenly produced a heavy burning smell, thick white smoke, and the engine completely seized and died while actively in motion. This resulted in an immediate, terrifying loss of motive power on a live roadway, trapping myself and my infant in a hazardous situation. The violent, sudden engine seizure also delivered a terminal mechanical shock that destroyed the transmission. Nissan is currently refusing 100% accountability, trying to charge me a 30% split for the transmission damage directly caused by this life-threatening defect.

10 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 08/31/2026

On August 31, 2026, my 2023 Nissan Rogue suffered a total structural failure of the factory plastic engine oil pan. During a routine maintenance check, the internal pressed-in brass threaded insert completely separated from the composite plastic casing and began spinning freely. This design failure made it impossible to safely remove, secure, or torque the oil drain plug to factory specifications. Nissan has documented this exact engineering defect in technical service bulletin TSB ntb22-003. The failure occurs under normal operating force due to an inadequate layer of composite material holding the metal insert in place. The repair facility (jiffy lube) officially certified on the repair invoice that this failure was caused entirely by a "factory design flaw," completely ruling out technician error or external road damage. I was forced to pay $778. 25 out of pocket to replace the failed factory assembly to ensure the vehicle was safe to operate.

16 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 08/17/2026

I am filing this complaint regarding Nissan's handling of an open safety recall involving my vehicle and the subsequent engine failure. Nissan issued recall 26v080 concerning an engine-related defect that can cause engine oil breakdown, bearing damage/seizure, engine damage, and loss of motive power. My vehicle developed the red oil warning light, check-engine light, and reduced engine power before the engine failed. The vehicle also had dark oil and sludge in the engine. The dealership is now attributing the engine failure to alleged lack of maintenance and has denied the engine warranty claim. This is disputed. The vehicle received oil changes at an independent repair facility, and I provided Nissan with receipts documenting the maintenance. The dealership originally relied on the absence of carfax entries to claim that the oil changes had not occurred. The dealership inspected the vehicle and submitted photographs and a physical sludge sample to Nissan's warranty department. I was told that Nissan's warranty department responded approximately three days later. No Nissan warranty technician or field representative physically inspected my vehicle before the determination was made. Nissan consumer affairs told me that the dealership's warranty department made the determination and that they would not disclose what information was submitted or what the sludge sample established. I dispute the conclusion that maintenance caused the engine failure. The presence of sludge does not, by itself, establish what caused the sludge. Nissan's own recall documentation identifies oil breakdown as part of the defect's failure mechanism. I have not been provided with evidence explaining how Nissan distinguished maintenance-related oil degradation from the recalled defect or how it ruled out the recalled defect as a cause or contributing factor. I was also told that the recall cannot be performed because my engine is no longer operational and that I would have to obtain another.

17 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 08/14/2026

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.

24 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/21/2026

Since purchasing my 2023 Nissan Rogue brand new, I have experienced severe drowsiness and an inability to breathe when driving in start-and-stop traffic. The issue peaked after a recent refueling stop, where raw gas fumes or exhaust heavily infiltrated the cabin. Immediately after driving away from the gas pump, I suffered acute chemical suffocation, gasping for air, experiencing body tremors, and nearly passing out. The symptoms instantly resolved when I switched to driving a different vehicle. This is a severe cabin fume infiltration defect that causes physical incapacitation while driving.

26 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/18/2026

I own a 2023 Nissan Rogue platinum, VIN [xxx], purchased xxx. Nissan’s VIN-specific records show an engine-bearing campaign was open on the sale date. The vehicle was sold as Nissan certified pre-owned, and the xxx cpo inspection paperwork marked the open-campaign requirement as pass, creating a conflict with the VIN-specific campaign history. On xxx Nissan consumer affairs case xxx confirmed in writing that this VIN is included in kr engine bearing (rc-xxx) and directed me to schedule free campaign repairs. The underlying engine-bearing safety issue can lead to engine damage or failure and increase the risk of a crash. I am reporting this so NHTSA has a record that this VIN had an open engine-bearing campaign at the time of sale, despite the cpo campaign item being marked pass, and because I received conflicting campaign-status information concerning this VIN. I request confirmation through the appropriate recall process that all required safety-recall/campaign inspection and repair work for this VIN is completed and accurately reflected in the manufacturer’s records. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

27 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2026

My vehicle experienced severe stalling, rough idling, and a strong burning smell, which match the exact defect characteristics outlined in NHTSA campaign 26v080 for Nissan main bearing failure (the year 2026 campaign is active). The vehicle was towed to a Nissan dealership, where technicians confirmed the engine requires complete replacement. However, the dealership is currently attempting to attribute the engine failure to 'coil intrusion' rather than the active bearing recall. The vehicle was purchased used in February 2026, just days after the official recall notification was sent to dealers. I am filing this complaint because the manufacturer is actively reviewing the claim and potentially bypassing a federally mandated safety remedy by blaming a consequential symptom of the engine failure. To specifically answer the above questions: the engine's main bearings failed/malfunctioned internally, causing catastrophic damage requiring a total engine replacement. The vehicle and its components are currently intact and available for inspection at the Nissan dealership service center. The vehicle suffered sudden, unexpected engine stalling while actively driving. This caused an immediate loss of motive power on a public roadway, creating a severe crash hazard and putting myself and surrounding drivers at risk of a rear-end collision. Yes. An authorized Nissan dealership service department has inspected the vehicle and confirmed that the engine has suffered a total mechanical failure and needs to be completely replaced. The vehicle is currently being inspected by an authorized Nissan dealership service center, and the case has been officially escalated to Nissan corporate for a technical and warranty review. A strong burning smell and severe rough idling appeared a couple days prior to the incident. However, the check engine light did not illuminate or provide any warning until the moment the engine completely stalled on the highway.

28 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/10/2026

Engine loss of power, exhaust producing white/gray smoke from tail pipe. Was stopped at stop light, pressed accelerator when light turned green. As I proceeded through the busy intersection, without warning, the engine lost power. As traffic was speeding up I was decelerating in front of a large tractor-trailer that nearly rear-ended me. Have not taken SUV to dealership or service center yet. No inspection has been completed. No warning, messages, or other symptoms appeared prior to the failure. The adas would shut off by itself.

29 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2026

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.

30 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2026

In xxx my engine turned off while I was on the highway. I went to star Nissan in [xxx] and they changed the turbo hose. On xxx I got a check engine light. After 3 days the dealership said I needed a new turbocharger and the repair would cost $4100. I was told I was 9000 miles over my warranty. I currently have 69000 miles on my 2023 Nissan Rogue. According to the incomplete recall, engine bearings and low oil pressure could have caused my turbocharger to fail. The extended 10 year 120k mile warranty is not being honored by star Nissan in bayside new york. I am not being told the diagnostics codes. I was told to either pay the $4100 or pick the car up. This engine almost killed me on the highway. Now that the engine fails again I'm being denied the repair. I am being told the turbocharger is not part of the long block, eventhough the recall clearly afects the turbocharged engine. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

"I am reporting federal safety recall non-compliance and fraudulent remedy execution by an authorized manufacturer franchise, bella Nissan of union city ([xxx]), regarding NHTSA campaign 26v-080 (Nissan recall code r25e2) on my 2023 Nissan Rogue sl fwd. I am the original owner of this vehicle, which has an exceptionally low odometer reading of 12,142 miles. The vehicle is used as primary medical transport for my [xxx] special needs son, who has a severe traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, and partial paralysis. On July 1st, 2026, I brought the vehicle to the dealership explicitly to resolve the critical engine bearing seizure and fire-risk recall. The dealership quoted a 3-hour repair window. Instead, the dealer rushed the vehicle through in 43 minutes total (start: 12:52, end: 13:35) and recorded an impossible 1-mile odometer difference (mileage 12,142, mileage out: 12,143). A single-mile drive is physically incapable of heating the engine oil to the high operating temperatures required by Nissan’s official engineering service bulletin to diagnose defective engine bearings. The dealership falsely certified to federal databases that this fire-risk vehicle was legally remedied, cleared the active safety flag on my consumer app, and billed the manufacturer's warranty department for work never performed. They also billed for a multi-point inspection and complimentary detail that were completely falsified, returning the car with an untouched, dirty windshield. The service advisor then actively withheld the paperwork I physically initialed at pickup, forcing me to take an internal 'pre-invoice audit copy' to conceal the non-compliant metrics. By rubber-stamping this safety recall on paper without executing the mandatory high-temperature diagnostic drive loop, this dealership has left an unverified fire-risk asset on the road, actively endangering a medically fragile family. I am refusing any future repair loops I want a buyback information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b).

35 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 06/24/2026

Recalls addressed yet engine continued to have ongoing problems. As of today Nissan service said the transmission needs full replacement yet takes zero responsibility for the problem. Car and engine has continually had problems of cutting out and lagging. Now they are denying this has any correlation to their existing engine problems. This is a major ongoing safety problem due to the fact that when driving the engine stalls and cuts out. There is no consistency of the problem. It just happens. Nissan needs to take responsibility telling an owner to replace a transmission in hopes that this will address an engine problem that has gone on for two years straight is not the answer. They need to understand the dangers of any driving situation where an engine stalls/stops. It’s amazing with this existing problem that nobody has been injured on record yet! this needs to change!.
