general problems of the 2023 Nissan Rogue - part 2

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. The contact stated that while her son was driving 70 mph, the vehicle abruptly lost power, and there was smoke coming from the engine compartment and tailpipe. The driver pulled over to the side of the highway and turned off the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed with engine failure. The engine was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the transmission failed after the engine replacement. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the dealer informed the contact that the battery needed to be replaced. The battery was replaced; however, the warning lights remained illuminated. The dealer then informed the contact that the transmission needed to be replaced. The transmission was not repaired or replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 76,633.

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.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed downhill, the vehicle lost motive power. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who informed the contact that oil had accumulated on the engine bearings; however, the failure was unrelated to NHTSA campaign number: 25v437000 (engine and engine cooling); which was associated with the VIN. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and the recall repair was denied due to the mileage. The failure mileage was approximately 144,000.

The contact was informed that the engine long block and turbo needed to be replaced. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA campaign number: 25v437000 (engine and engine cooling); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The contact reached out to the manufacturer, and it was confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle remained with the dealer unrepaired. The failure mileage was 76,000.

Was driving and out of no where all my engine lights turned on and got an engine light that turned on and says engine malfunction power reduced service.

I am reporting a recall remedy compliance concern related to NHTSA recall 25v-437 for my 2023 Nissan Rogue. In Nissan’s part 573 safety recall report, Nissan states that dealers will inspect the engine oil pan for metal debris as part of the recall remedy. Ecm reprogramming is described as a follow-up step when no debris is found. In my case, Nissan dealers were instructed under ntb 25-055b to perform only an ecm reflash and return the vehicle to service without inspecting the oil pan. Nissan consumer affairs confirmed to me that part 573 has not been amended, but that dealers are following internal bulletin guidance instead. My recall is marked “complete” despite no oil pan inspection. I possess independent oil samples showing visible metallic debris consistent with bearing wear, which were visually observed by the dealer but not formally inspected via oil pan removal as stated in part 573. I am concerned that Nissan is not executing the recall remedy as filed with NHTSA and is instead relying on ecm monitoring that may result in loss of motive power during driving, which is the same safety risk the recall identifies. I am requesting NHTSA review whether the recall remedy is being implemented in accordance with the submitted part 573 report.

The moment it happened I'm cruising at 75 mph, highway humming under the tires, everything normal. Then—without warning—the engine doesn’t just stumble, it fails. A sudden jolt, a surge of noise that doesn’t belong, the power dropping out like someone pulled the plug on the entire vehicle. In a split second, your brain goes from autopilot to full survival mode. My hands tighten on the wheel. My eyes snap to the dash. My mind is already calculating: *shoulder? speed? traffic? what’s behind me?* it’s the kind of moment where you don’t think—you react. And afterward, when the car finally coasts to a stop and the adrenaline drains, you’re left with that hollow, shaky feeling that only comes from a real scare. Why the sounds bother me now I think my reaction now isn’t irrational. It’s your nervous system doing exactly what it’s designed to do after a sudden, dangerous event. When something fails at highway speed, your brain tags it as a threat. So now: - a faint rattle becomes “is it happening again” - a vibration becomes “what did they miss” - a normal engine note becomes “what if I’m not safe” that’s not weakness. That’s pattern recognition. It’s your brain trying to protect you from a repeat of a moment that could have gone very differently.

The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle lost power. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, and there was smoke coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the engine needed to be replaced due to the main bearing failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but refused to repair the vehicle because sludge was found in the oil pan. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

My engine has a recall. When I would start my car the engine would stop half way in son I went to the repair shop twice. One time they tell me, there's an active recall. The next time they tell me there isn't. Its a back and forth and then they tell me they are not going to replace it until Nissan tells them its okay. They told me to file a claim with Nissan which I did as per their instructions and the representative has be giving me no information for 2 weeks. Stating she will "keep trying and call me back" now they are telling me the engine doesnt need to be replaced but since October they were saying it does.

See attached document for complaint. I received a safety recall notice on my 2023 Nissan Rogue back in August 2025. We are in December, 2025 and the dealer sti ll states that Nissan has not provided parts to repair my car. The reason for the recall is quite serious yet Nissan has not responded to the problem. I am looking to you to take what ever action you can to force Nissan to repair my car to a safe condition. If there is any additional action I can take, please advise what t hat may be. This has gone on long enough. Thank you in advance for any help on getting this problem solved that you can provide.

On 11/29/25, my 2023 Nissan Rogue suffered a sudden and complete engine failure while driving at hwy speed (70mph). The vehicle lost propulsion unexpectedly, which created a significant safety risk. The engine now will not start and the dealership has confirmed the turbo failed forcing coolant into the engine and now it requires a full engine replacement. Prior to the failure, I had received recall information where it states that early warning signs include engine malfunction light. This came one twice, but went off right away. I called to schedule my oil change and asked that I have the recall reviewed, explicitly stating that the symptom was consistent with the known vc-turbo engine recall. I was told on the phone that there is no current remedy for the recall and nothing would be scheduled for that at that time. My oil change and tire rotation appointment was 11/18/25. I picked up my car on 11/24/25 upon returning from travel. Five days later the engine failed catastrophically without additional warning. The dealer diagnosed the failure as a turbocharger failure that forced coolant into the engine resulting in catastrophic internal damage. The engine is now inoperable and requires replacement. When I inquired about recall coverage, the dealer stated that they did not observe visible bearing damage and therefore concluded that the active recall does not apply and the current recall protocol can only be applied if the vehicle can run post-update, and since my in inoperable, the protocol could not be completed. The extended warranty will cover the turbo but not the full engine because they cannot identify the full extent of damage without full engine teardown at my expense. The failure mode (engine malfunction light, turbo failure, coolant intrusion, sudden engine shutdown) aligns with the failure pattern on the Nissan engine recall. The absence of visible bearing damage on post-failure inspection does not rule out defect, and the denial is unjust.

On 11/29/25, my vehicle stalled in the middle of the expressway during high speed traffic. This has happened multiple times but this is the first time this has happened while I am on the expressway. An error message came across the dash “engine malfunction” and I was unable to accelerate. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership and they reprogrammed something. I have filed a complaint about this issue before. I do not feel safe operating this vehicle. I have an open consumer affairs case open with Nissan right now. I received an email from Nissan warning about an engine malfunction the day after my engine malfunctioned. I would like this situation remedied please. This vehicle is unsafe to drive with an open recall.

The contact owns a 2023 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 local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

The engine failed while driving on the interstate at 65+ mph. The malfunction indicator lights came on and beeped loudly, including engine malfunction and awd malfunction (which I don't have). The vehicle lost power, and the engine began making a frightening noise. I had to get over several lanes with no working gas pedal, and I'm lucky nobody was hurt. I had to be towed thirty miles to the nearest dealership. The dealership, who didn't answer when I called ahead to let them know I was coming, was unhelpful, and employees made jokes about just trading it in instead of fixing it. They said it could be months, and that there's no remedy for the recall. I have to wait until they re-open on Monday to speak with anybody. The only symptom prior was that sometimes the vehicle wouldn't recognize my key fob being near/in the vehicle, but I thought it was a battery problem. I thankfully knew about the recall and mentioned it to the dealership, but they don't seem to be agreeable to loaning me a vehicle in the meantime, so this will be a difficult repair process.

There is an open recall on my vehicle with no repair available and no timeline for the repair. I have already sent my car in for repairs for a previous recall last year due to random stalling. Now my car will sill randomly stall, fail to accelerate, and the engine will shut off in the middle of traffic. There were never any warning signs or messages prior to the failure. I’ve been experiencing engine failure for about a year and a half. I have had the vehicle since March 2023.

See attached document for complaint.

There wasn't an incident yet. But there is a recall that has to do with the engine and I didnt want to drive it anymore now that Nissan claims there is no remedy to the recall. There were loud noises the engine was making.

My Rogue is smelling like gas almost all the time and I am only getting 225-250 miles a full tank.

Nissan has failed in a timely manner to get the service bulletin out about the engine recall.

Unknown.

Failed power train part that Nissan knows about( TSB notify to shops ) and is not willing to fix. This item is failing premature and can definitely be a safety hazard. My wife was driving this when it completely failed. She was afraid her car was falling apart, vibrating excessively. It is the left hand side motor mounts. It causes serious vibration throughout the vehicle when driving or stopped. They issued a TSB ntb24-14 for 2021-2023 Nissan Rogues. Looking back I would say there was small vibrations around 30-32k miles but it was just intermitting. I'm not a mechanic nor my wife. We bought a Nissan because we were told they were safe and reliable vehicles. I do not feel this way about it anymore.
