Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problems of the 2023 Nissan Rogue

After my vehicle becamr undrivable I took to a Nissan dealership and was told that my vehicleneeds a new engine, turbo and catalytic converter. To this I was shocked and upset! the vehicle has under 75000 milez and since purchasing it(bought w/about 34k,mi) j have maintained routine maintainence, oil chanes etc. At this pt the dealership is blaming an egr failure to avoid covering the vehicle under active engine safety recall 26v080 / r25e2, despite the vehicle showing the exact catastrophic failure symptoms outlined by the manufacturer. The vehicle was looked at for this recall, and given a "cleared" status, however , its very suspicious the exact recall is whats damaged w/my vehicle. To my knowledge the dealership hasn't inspected the entire vehicle fir parts covered under the recall but instead wants to say its a standalone issue caused by the egr . . Again very suspicious. The vehicle is currently at the dealership, because ive spoken w/corp Nissan as I feel this is linked to this past recall and they should b responsible for it. My wife and son were in the vehicle and no immediate warnings gave her cause for concern, however, w/a total engine, turbo, cat failure they could of been severally injured. I feel Nissan should replace this and want to make others aware that if theyre involved in the recall a dealership may try to say its a standalone issue caused by the egr, (& maybe) but they need to provide proof of this and in my case I do not feel this is the case!.

Egr valve failed causing the vehicle to drop from 70 mph to limp mode and driver having to move from fast lane to shoulder in heavy traffic.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced at the dealer, and after retrieving the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle entered limp mode while driving and failed to accelerate properly. The vehicle was driven back to the dealer, and the vehicle was diagnosed with a pc booster control sensor and egr communications failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 102,000.

I am filing this formal complaint to request immediate NHTSA intervention regarding Nissan north America’s bad-faith denial of critical safety recall repairs on my 2023 Nissan Rogue. Both Nissan consumer affairs and my local Nissan dealership service department are actively misdiagnosing a severe, well-documented engine defect as a "secondary issue" to avoid their legal obligations under NHTSA recall campaigns 26v-080 and 26v-081. By forcing me to drive a vehicle that exhibits violent engine shaking and severe, abnormal mechanical noise, Nissan is placing my safety and the safety of the motoring public at immediate risk. They are insisting that I continue operating a compromised vehicle until a catastrophic, total engine failure occurs on the highway. Detailed timeline of events and defect manifestation June 2025 (vehicle under factory warranty): the vehicle began exhibiting abnormal, excessively loud engine noises. I presented the vehicle to the authorized Nissan dealership for diagnosis. The service department dismissed the issue, claiming they "could not replicate" the noise, and released the vehicle back to me without repair. I captured digital video and audio recordings of the defect at this time to preserve empirical evidence. February 2026: NHTSA and Nissan announced recalls 26v-080 and 26v-081 specifically targeting the 1. 5l and 2. 0l vc-turbo engines for main bearing failure, which causes violent engine shaking, severe noise, knocking, and sudden loss of motive power. [xxx]: as the engine noises worsened and progressed into violent engine shaking, I brought the Rogue back to the dealership service department. They admitted the vehicle was shaking excessively but claimed it was a "secondary issue" caused by a failing exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve. Manufactured/dealership explicitly stated that because they did not yet find metal shavings in the oil pan, they would not authorize the recall remedy. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

We first had breakdown on 6/8/2026 and had towed at our expense due to engine recall, they broke egr valve connector while replaceing engine. They replaced new egr terminal kit at this time. Got car back 6/29/2026. On 6/30 started having loud noises and engine shaking brought car in morning of 7/1 they took for test drive the noise wasnt present but the shaking was was told possible trnasmission mount was broken and they would contact me back with no word until car broke down again 7/30 was told to try to drive it to dealer car wouldnt go faster then 5-10mph. Got the car there was told egr valve needed replaced but wasnt covered we had to pay out pocket. Put in complaint with dealer and then consumer affairs that this had to do with original engine failure also they broke parts egr system and have had issues ever since. Egr valve and connectors and kit have been replaced several times since 6/8/2026 which I have all service information and I also opened a claim in the beginning and they did not help me or want any of the info I have and have broken down several times. The car has been returned 6 times but only kept 5 times and repaired this will be the fifth time being repaired for same egr issues since engine was replaced. And they refused to give me my money back for one tow we paid for 6/8 and we argued that we arent responsible for the egr valve they replaced since this has to do with engine recall and them breaking sone parts they broke with install. This has caused serious safety issues as everytime the care breaks down we are on hwy going at speed and car turns off and engine malfunction light turns on everytime.

I am the owner of a Nissan Rogue subject to recall campaign r25d1, which addresses a manufacturing defect affecting engine bearings and/or engine components that may progressively fail over time, leading to engine damage and engine failure. I brought my vehicle to headquarter Nissan in columbus, GA (the same dealer that issued the recall notice) for diagnosis after experiencing engine problems. The dealer’s diagnostic findings document a complete engine failure consistent with the recall description, including: •egr valve failure (valve could be opened to 70 degrees with no change in engine performance, when anything over 20 degrees should cause the engine to stall) •engine overheating •blown head gasket •failed egr cooler •total coolant loss (vehicle arrived with no coolant; 2 gallons had to be added before fluid registered in the overflow) the dealer’s recommended repair is full replacement of the engine, turbo, catalytic converter, egr valve, and egr cooler, along with all gaskets and hardware. The estimate provided is $9,514. 72. Despite the failure pattern matching the recall description (progressive component failure leading to engine damage), the dealer is denying recall coverage by attributing the root cause to the egr cooler rather than the bearings or engine components named in the recall. This causation is also inconsistent with the diagnostic write-up itself, which describes the egr valve as the initiating failure that led to overheating and subsequent damage to the head gasket and cooler. I am filing this complaint because the dealer’s denial appears to be a reframing of a recall-eligible failure to shift repair costs onto the consumer. I am requesting NHTSA review of how recall r25d1 is being applied at the dealer level and whether failures like mine are being inappropriately excluded.

I owned this car for less than 2 years and it's already costing $700. 00 to have a egr valve failure. This seems to be a big problem with these SUV's and I just don't no how this is not covered under the warranty or a recall as this is clearly a defect. There are so many complaints about this issue. This is my 3rd Nissan and most likely my last!!! not happy at all with this outcome of $700. 00 repair!.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan rouge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the egr cooler failed and that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 61,200.

On 2/14/26 my car decelerated on the interstate. No warning lights came on. I parked the car and had it towed the next day to the dealership. Several days later they told me I needed a new engine, and then later told me that Nissan would not replace the engine but told them I need the egr cooling system replaced and that would resolve my problem. 3 weeks later I picked up my car ($3722) and immediately upon driving it off the lot the car started smoking. Once home, it decelerated again prompting another tow back to the dealership on the same day I picked it up. During that time, dashboard and engine lights came on. 3 days later I received a phone call from the dealership stating I need a new egr sensor which should have been done the first time but was not (by a less experienced mechanic), for free, and the part would be in tomorrow 3/12/26. He also stated that now the car is running extremely rough and knocking (which I told him has not been our experience at all and I did not know what he was talking about). He then went on to say it needs motor mounts now. That was 2 weeks ago. Since then I have called multiple times to get status updates on my car and no one will return my call. My car has now been there for 40 days as of today. I have been given a 120,000 mile warranty extension on my engine per Nissan, but Nissan refuses to fix it and my car is not listed as part of the new recall, which I do not understand at all. Nissan needs to replace my engine as first diagnosed but reneged on.

I purchased this vehicle as a Nissan certified pre-owned in July 2024 and also purchased an extended warranty. In June 2025, I received notice of the kr engine bearing recall affecting this vehicle. I brought the vehicle to Nissan dealerships three separate times regarding this recall and related concerns, but no repair was performed and I was told to wait because a remedy was not yet available. On January 29th, while driving, the vehicle began shaking severely and white smoke began coming from the tailpipe. There were no warning lights. The vehicle became undrivable and had to be towed to a Nissan dealership. The dealership diagnosed the failure as a failed egr cooler that allowed coolant into the engine, which they state destroyed the engine and requires a full engine replacement. The dealership is now claiming this is not covered under warranty, recall, or extended coverage. However, the kr engine bearing recall specifically addresses internal engine defects that can lead to overheating, coolant system damage, and engine failure. The egr cooler failure appears to be secondary damage caused by the known engine defect described in the recall. I had already presented the vehicle multiple times to Nissan for this issue after the recall was announced, and no repair was made. I am now being told I must pay for a full engine replacement on a vehicle with an active engine recall and extended engine warranty coverage, despite having sought service multiple times before the catastrophic failure occurred. I believe this is a direct result of Nissan failing to properly address a known engine defect covered by recall, and I am concerned this represents a broader safety issue for other owners whose engines may fail before Nissan implements a remedy.

Engine malfunction power reduce service now wed Aug 20. My 2023 Rogue was at the dealership debating that thye can fix the recall because there is no remedy for the inspection for the recall. My truck stayed at the shop until October. This passed Friday October 31 while driving and picking up donations I began to get on the freeway and the same message happened. I couldn't go over 25mph the dealership was 28 minutes away. My safety was a risk it was the on ramp of the freeway and it was all freeway to get to the dealership. The food donations I picled up were at risk of not be able. To be served to shelter residents. I receibed and email stating that the fuel injectors and egr valve need to replace immediately totatling almost 5,000 after just paying $1700 last month. This is the second time since August with this message but the check engine light has been going on and off with alerts in my car amd Nissan app for over 6 months.

The first time I was on the I expressway the car started to loose power I had the pedal to the floor and it wouldn't go. Took it to the dealer and they kept it for a week they changed the turbo and another recall part. Then it drove okay for maybe a month and started right back again loosing power idling I took it to the nissian they said its a recall on the engine bearings and there wasn't nothing that could be done. The transmission is constantly acting like its going out cause it takes a minute to go into the next gear. Im a traveling nurse I lost my contract due to not having a reliable vehicle it wouldnt start some days nissian checked the battery said it was good they couldnt figure out rhat issue. I bought a new battery still the same issue then I was driving down a busy street, I started smelling gas or a muffler smell the check engine light came on and then I took it to nissian. Nissian said the parts for the engine bearing is in but we cant fiix the recall until the check engine light is off. They did a diagnostics test and said its the egr valve and control system. They want me to pay over 3000 dollars and refuse to fix it. Ive had the car for 9 months and even though the issue started before my warranty was up they refuse to fix it. Ive attached the first invoice and its at nissian right now I dont have the invoice yet.
