general problems of the 2023 Nissan Rogue - part 2

On 6/22/2026, my vehicle was towed due to loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and excessive vibration, and unable to start. These issues have been ongoing since October 2025. Nissan dealership informed me that I needed a new throttle body and an oil change. Against my better judgement, I paid $1374. 02 to replace the part. Two weeks later, my engine started making knocking noises, excessive vibration and completely shut down. Subsequently, I discovered that there is a recall for my vehicle directly related to engine oil bearing failure(NHTSA 26v080, and throttle body(NHTSA 26v081). This is an unresolved recall issue and this is both frustrating and disturbing because the manufacture is trying to use delay tactics and avoiding my free repair. This dealer improperly denies a legitimate safety recall when they are required to inspect parts, update software and replace damaged parts at no cost to me. I was told since my warranty has expired, it will not be covered. To say I am baffled, is an understatement. This has nothing to do with my warranty expiration, rather everything to do with over 642,000 u. S. SUV(model years 2023-2025) Nissan Rogue safety campaign. My vehicle is a 2023 and I am asking for some assistance with enforcing the company to honor this recall. In the end, these franchise dealerships want to save money but had no problem taking my money when the vehicle was purchased. More disturbing, my vehicle neither has not been torn down nor any diagnostic code been confirmed. After asking why, I was told that the engine is locked up and it will not show. Please assist me with my refund to out of pocket expense with throttle body and a new engine ASAP. Thanks.

All of a sudden, while driving, the car was not picking up speed. I parked and noticed the car was idling very roughly. It was though the car was going to just stop when I did start driving again. The check engine light came on while I was driving in the car would not pick up speed. It was still really a rough idle to the car when I turned corners it was like the car was going to stop and it would not go past 35 mph. I immediately drove into the Nissan dealership near me. A week later after dropping it off, I was told the engine had failed.

Transmission/ motor mount went out at 80k, the issue was going on before hand where my car would shake violently. I had been complaining about it for months they kept telling me it was normal, come to find out my transmission mount is going bad. Now they want to charge me 2k to replace it, after the engine was replaced.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving approximately 75 mph, the vehicle was driving sluggishly and decelerated unintendedly. The vehicle failed to exceed 50 mph while driving with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic, who diagnosed the vehicle with variable valve timing failure with dtc: p0012 displayed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure reoccurred and the vehicle was taken to the dealer. The contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed by the dealer; however, the electromagnetic compatibility (emc) was reprogrammed, and the check engine warning light was no longer illuminated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 76,000.

On June 3, 2026, I brought my vehicle to o'brien Nissan of bloomington because I was experiencing significant problems with the continuously variable transmission (cvt). Specifically, the service now light came on, the vehicle would not shift into park, and I was concerned about a cvt malfunction. I explained these concerns to the service advisor jason who is the current service manager and expected that the vehicle would be thoroughly inspected and any necessary repairs would be completed. The purpose of my visit was specifically to have the transmission issue addressed and repaired before it developed into a more serious safety concern. The dealership's response was as follows: • complaint: the cvt malfunction service now light came on, and the car would not shift into park • cause: tech found multiple stored codes. No current codes. Tech tested transmission operation and found no issue at this time. • correction: no repairs suggested for this visit according to the service manager jason, the cvt was not serviced because it was approximately 3:30 p. M. When the customer returned the service request form through email and it was close to the end of the workday. When I got to the dealership to pick up and pay the total should have been $336. 00 but it was $109. 00 that’s when I requested to speak to the manager on duty. I expressed my concern about the cvt and the actions of the vehicle and how it would just take off when trying to park.   I was assured that my vehicle was safe to drive, and that sometimes lights just appear because the cars are digital  per shawn the manager on duty and I relied on that representation when leaving the dealership.   the multi-point inspection report from June 3, 2026, also noted the following: component status transmission fluid level/condition cautioned fuel injection system cautioned brake fluid condition cautioned cabin/hepa filter cautioned engine air filter failed rear brake linings (lr/rr) cautioned front collision avoidance light.

The contact owned a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that six months after purchasing the vehicle, the vehicle was vibrating abnormally while driving, accelerating, and the vehicle was hesitating. During an oil change, the contact informed the mechanic about the excessive vibration while driving. The contact was notified of an undisclosed recall, but there was no remedy for the recall. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer, but the mechanics were unable to duplicate the failure. During another failure, the vehicle turned off independently while stopped at a red light. The vehicle restarted after three attempts. The vehicle was driven slowly back to the residence. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer a second time, and an undisclosed pump was replaced. The contact stated that months later, the failure reoccurred, and the vehicle could not be restarted. The check engine warning light was illuminated, and the vehicle started smoking while it was stuck on the roadway. While the vehicle was completely stopped and disabled in the roadway, another vehicle rear-ended it. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 41,000.

Purchased 2023 Nissan Rogue March 2026 drove for 3 months never was informed of a recall. On xxx would not start but it did after removing key from fob then saw a little gray smoke shut the car down and xxx contacted lugoff Nissan SC was told of recall and that engine was fully covered. Tuesday called again to inquire about progress none was done. Informed me they would not replace engine unless I paid $2,000 to replace catalytic converters but did not do a clog test so not even sure they are damaged but even if they were it is covered under damages caused by a faulty engine oil system cause the oil is cleanse by the converters and which is a federal requirement but was told they could put old ones back on and I could smoke which was rude and is illegal to run converters that do not function properly and control smog and pollution per the federal government. Then agreed to put engine in Wednesday nobody even heard my request that I needed a loaner then worst part was today I was told car had a bad head gasket which I inquired researched talked to two licensed mechanics with over 40 years experience a bad engine causes all that they are refusing to fix oil runs through a system which is filtered by the converters and can damage if not functioning properly and a head gasket is part of the system; it effects the heads by overheating the oil which overheats engine. They said it would be a few days next week before they could check the warranty no it’s been few days it is 10yrs/120,000 extended warranty per the gov required because over 484,000 2023 Nissan engines were defective dangerous mfg in japan so either or recall or warranty my car is covered I want engine replaced all necessary repairs properly done free of charge a recall engine malfunctioned caused damages; not any my fault and I don’t want to wait a week I can’t even get my [xxx] husband to his cardiology appt. I need answers please ASAP tomorrow and a loaner while waiting. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C.

While driving my 2023 Nissan Rogue on interstate xxx from [xxx] to [xxx] with my xxx daughter in the vehicle, the vehicle suddenly displayed multiple warnings including collision assist/sensor malfunction warnings, start/stop system failure warnings, and “check owner’s manual” messages. Immediately afterward, the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of power and refusal to accelerate. At the time of failure, I was traveling approximately 78 mph in the fast lane of the interstate. The vehicle rapidly lost speed and dropped into what appeared to be limp mode, eventually slowing into the upper 50 mph range despite pressing the accelerator. I had to fight across multiple lanes of freeway traffic while unable to maintain highway speed. This created an extremely dangerous situation due to surrounding high-speed traffic and limited safe shoulder access in a remote desert area. The vehicle became unsafe to continue driving and required a tow of over 70 miles to the nearest Nissan dealership. The tow expense alone exceeded $600. Prior to this incident, the vehicle had already experienced a separate unexplained no-power/no-start event. At that time, the battery, starter, and alternator reportedly tested normal. The vehicle remains within the manufacturer’s 5 year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty and currently has active recalls associated with the vehicle. A Nissan case has been opened and the vehicle is pending dealer diagnosis and inspection. After posting publicly about this incident in Nissan owner groups, I identified numerous other owners reporting nearly identical symptoms involving warning light cascades, sudden loss of acceleration, limp mode events, and highway safety concerns. This incident created a serious safety hazard involving sudden highway deceleration and loss of motive power during interstate travel. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Engine malfunction while drive and car went into a limp.

World car Nissan states the issues with the vehicle are not recall related. They blame the defects on a faulty oil temp sensor and engine mount. When the incident occurred signaling for us to take it into the shop, the vehicle slowed down very suddenly and the engine force was limited by the system. Even waiting for the car to cool down, it did not start and work properly. Even a day after the incident, the accelerator was not working.

Rattling noise while driving in traffic.

On 5/9/2026 my 2023 Nissan Rogue overheated, lost all power and was inoperable. No alerts from dash or Nissan connect app received. Had to be towed to the Nissan lithia springs dealership and was told that a new engine is needed. My family was in the car and my children had to get out on the highway and walk until a bystander offered to assist. The dealership and Nissan consumer affairs is not answering any questions or providing any solutions. The service manger carrissa is also avoiding all calls related to my vehicle. I see there is an active recall on this issue via the internet but not tied to my VIN number. Filed a case with Nissan consumer affairs no response.

P0101 code p0507 code and it has left me almost in an accident on the highway and now has left me stranded!.

The contact's mother owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the vehicle lost power with the message "engine malfunction - power reduced" displayed. The vehicle went into limp mode and was towed to the dealer. The dealer initially replaced the water pump under warranty; however, several months later, the failure reoccurred, and the vehicle was towed back to the dealer, and the mass airflow sensor code was retrieved. The contact declined to pay the estimate provided by the dealer and sought a second opinion from an independent mechanic. The independent mechanic retrieved codes associated with the throttle body, knock sensor, and mass airflow sensor. The mechanic replaced the mass airflow sensor and the throttle body, but the failure persisted. Additional tests indicated an engine control module failure, which the mechanic associated with NHTSA campaign number: 25v437000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer acknowledged the report but refused to provide additional assistance because the vehicle had previously been repaired under the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 25v437000 (engine and engine cooling); and the vehicle was taken to a dealer to be repaired. The contact stated that on several occasions when the vehicle was started, there was a rumbling sound coming from the engine compartment. Additionally, while driving on several occasions at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle lost power. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

To whom it may concern, I am submitting a formal complaint regarding the handling of an unresolved safety recall involving my vehicle by Nissan, as well as the lack of communication, escalation support, and resolution provided by Nissan customer affairs. Despite multiple attempts to resolve an active safety recall, I have not received a follow-up call or any meaningful update regarding the status of the repair. The recall remains unresolved. I was previously informed that the issue may be related to the vehicle being “driven too much,” which I do not find to be an acceptable or relevant explanation in the context of a manufacturer-issued safety recall. Additionally, Nissan customer affairs has failed to provide adequate support. I requested escalation to a manager and/or a direct contact number to continue addressing the issue and was refused both. Calls are not returned, and there is no clear or functional escalation path provided. At present, Nissan is still in possession of my vehicle while I am in a loaner vehicle. However, I have not been given a clear timeline, status update, or resolution plan regarding the completion of the recall repair. This ongoing situation leaves me without transparency or assurance regarding the safety or status of my vehicle. Due to the unresolved recall, lack of communication, and inability to obtain proper escalation through internal channels, I am formally escalating this matter and submitting a complaint to the NHTSA for review. I respectfully request: immediate clarification on the status of the recall repair a confirmed timeline for completion and return of my vehicle proper escalation to a qualified manager or recall specialist written documentation outlining next steps and resolution plan this matter involves a potential safety-related defect and requires prompt and appropriate attention.

After taking my 2023. 5 Rogue s in for the recall repair (replace sensor and update ecm) I noticed soon after that a knock has started to appear. It is happening any time the engine is under load, especially at lower rpms. I have changed where I get fuel and that has not resolved the issue, I got my oil change done about 2 weeks ago and the knock is still there.

I had a coolant leek that I could smell from the exhaust. I constantly had to refill the coolant. At 59k miles the engine was replace and not at 61k the car is stalling at idle.

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.

I went into the dealorship for an oil change and was told that I had to replace the whole oil pan because it's plastic and breaks. I should not have to worry about replacing the whole oil pan every time I get an oil change or be stranded (since it leaves me no option but to remain at the location until they replace it). This is horrible Nissan design and the manufacturer should replace with a metal pan and do a recall. This is very concerning especially in light of the engine recall due to overheating and other parts getting into and damanging the Nissan Rogue engine. Can Nissan guarentee that these plastic pans do not disintegrate over time causing microplastics to destroy my engine and causing my engine to potentially fail while I am driving on the expressway?.

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.
