general problems of the 2023 Nissan Rogue - part 1

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.

I brought my car to my mechanic for a routine oil change and the drain plug on the oil pain failed. It is made with plastic and melted due to exposure to high engine heat rendering it useless and requiring the oil pan and drain to be replaced. When we called Nissan they said this is a known issue with several Nissan models and they have since had to retrofit a part to correct the malfunction. Had this plug failed while I was driving it could have caused massive engine failure. There were no indications there was anything wrong with my oil pan and this mechanic has done my oil changes on several cars for over 10 years. Despite the associate at the Nissan dealership we got the replacement part from acknowledging this is a known issue, no service campaign has been issued. I called consumer affairs to discuss next steps in order to get this covered under warranty and was told to call back with my invoice information to submit for reimbursement. Upon calling back I was told they will not cover the repair as it was done at an independent mechanic which I was not informed of on my previous call. They assured me a supervisor would call me back by the end of the following day and I have not received a call from anyone. Failure for Nissan to take responsibility for a manufacturing defect is now leading to potential safety hazards and undue financial responsibility on its consumer's behalf since their employees are improperly trained. I will never purchase a Nissan again and can guarantee I will share this poor experience with everyone I know.

Warning lights keep popping up then something will go wrong with the car. A cvt malfunction came up and wouldn’t allow me to put the car in park then after I turned the car off it went back to normal. More random lights will come up they will all be different problems with the engine or system then once car has been off for a few it would go back to normal.

I attempted to speak with a service advisor at Nissan regarding my concerns and symptoms of the safety recall, I left a message with a service rep explaining my issue and still have not gotten a call back over 48 hrs later. I have started a case with Nissan corporate in regards to NHTSA 26v-080, I explained that I may be experiencing limp modes. I asked if I would be getting a free loaner and I was told by corporate, that would be the dealerships decision. This is a major safety recall and the fact that corporate is telling me this is very concerning. Corporate then asked if I would like to be transferred to a dealership to make an appointment. At no point did either corporate nor the dealership tell me to stop driving and offer me a tow to the dealership. This is a huge safety liability for Nissan and I have documentation of all this. While driving it feels rough and I have had power loss and have not been able to go more than 25-26 mph until pulling over and restarting the car. These calls are on recorded lines and they failed to take this safety recall seriously after I explained my issue.

'service cvt power reduced' - I have been getting this warning on and off for almost a year now. It seems to come on after the vehicle has been driving for about 30 minutes. The dealership claims they can only get a code when the warning is currently showing. And I have yet to be able to get it there while it is actively showing. I've gone there as soon as the following day and am told the codes are not stored. But I have heard otherwise. I am worried it is transmission related and I am going to go past my 60,000 mile warranty, which I am currently under. When the car is turned off for at least 5-10 minutes it seems to clear. But the issue seems to be happening more frequently. Weather does not seem to he a factor. I am in a Nissan social media page and a lot of people seem to have the same issue with this year. Most people are told the same thing. A lot of others say it is the valve body or have had to have transmissions replaced.

While driving under normal highway conditions, my 2023 Nissan Rogue awd experienced a sudden and severe safety malfunction. All warning and safety indicator lights on the dashboard illuminated simultaneously, followed by a complete shutdown of the digital instrument cluster. The vehicle lost critical display functions at the moment the issue occurred. Shortly afterward, the check engine light remained on. The dealership later diagnosed the vehicle with dtc p0196 – engine oil temperature sensor and recommended replacement of the automatic transmission oil cooler control valve.

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.

My 2023 Nissan Rogue sl fwd began exhibiting a jerking/kicking sensation from the transmission starting in approximately June 2026. Initially, the vehicle moved smoothly on level surfaces, but whenever I had to apply the accelerator pedal from a stop to start moving, a distinct kick or jerk would occur. I did not initially consider this a serious issue. In July 2026, an engine repair was performed on the vehicle. Following that repair, the transmission jerking issue worsened significantly. It now occurs every single time I start the vehicle moving from a stop and press the accelerator pedal - not intermittently, but consistently. Notably, the jerk does not occur while the vehicle is at a standstill (e. G. , stopped at a red light) - it only occurs during the initial acceleration from a stop. This behavior is consistent with widely reported cvt shudder/jerk issues documented by other Nissan Rogue owners, in prior NHTSA complaints, and in class action litigation regarding Nissan’s cvt transmissions. I am concerned this represents a safety-related defect, as unexpected jerking during acceleration from a stop (e. G. , pulling into traffic or merging) could increase the risk of a collision. I am a single mother of three children, and this vehicle is my family’s only means of transportation. I am reporting this issue now, before an accident occurs, because I am concerned about the safety risk of unexpected jerking during acceleration, especially when merging into traffic with my children in the car. I am filing this complaint to formally document the issue with NHTSA and am also pursuing repair of this defect under the vehicle’s factory warranty.

Car went in to limp mode twice! (vehicle speed wouldn’t get over 50 miles per hour. ) the car was taken to the nearest o’reilly to be diagnosed. The diagnosis said “ powertain diagnosis troubled codes : p0012 code indicates that the bank1intake camshaft position timing was retarded beyond limits for a predetermined time period of time. Also said replace engine variable valve time (vvt) solenoid both times!!!.

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).

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and also while the vehicle was parked, the vehicle would unexpectedly shift out of gear with no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle would unexpectedly shift into neutral. The contact also stated that while the vehicle was parked on multiple occasions, the vehicle shifted out of park unexpectedly. Additionally, the contact stated that the cruise control function would unexpectedly disengage after being activated. The contact also stated that the sensor warning lights would illuminate unexpectedly despite no ongoing traffic being present, and the vehicle would unexpectedly stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer multiple times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer advised the contact to not engage the vehicle’s on/off function. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact not to place heavy items in the vehicle’s cup holder. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

My Nissan Rogue is experiencing issues with the throttle body leading it to mal function lights warning see owner manual at 27k miles which also the air mass flow sensor code is coming on p101 at very low mileage. In which those parts are suppose to last for years more mileage I’m concerned for the safety of this vehicle as it’s being very costly and defective and the issues are appearing same symptoms as recalls but the car VIN is not listed this car feels unsafe as it has gone through a few recalls. This car has been inspected by dealership and I was aware of the situation because of them in a diagnostic report.

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!.

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.

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.

My vehicle originally underwent an engine replacement performed by the dealership under a manufacturer recall. The engine was replaced at no cost to me. However, only two days after receiving the vehicle back from the dealership, the transmission failed. The dealership has since stated that they cannot determine whether the transmission was already failing or whether damage may have occurred during the engine replacement process. Specifically, they indicated there is uncertainty surrounding whether work performed during the engine installation may have contributed to a wiring harness melting, which may have affected transmission operation. Despite acknowledging that fault cannot be determined, Nissan corporate has offered to cover only 50% of the transmission replacement cost, leaving me responsible for $3,112. This partial payment offer was communicated through walker jones Nissan. I do not believe it is reasonable for me to bear half of this expense under the circumstances for the following reasons: • the transmission failure occurred only two days after a major recall repair performed by the dealership. • prior to the engine replacement, the vehicle was operating without transmission failure. • the dealership has admitted uncertainty as to whether their repair work contributed to the issue. • I have been without my vehicle for approximately two months while this situation remains unresolved. • during this time, I have continued making loan payments and maintaining insurance coverage despite having no use of the vehicle. Given the timing of the failure immediately following recall service and the dealership’s inability to rule out repair-related causes, I respectfully believe full coverage of the transmission repair is warranted as a matter of fairness and customer responsibility.

Nisan rouge svawd 70k milage. When driving suddenly the vehicle loss power and shakes drastically reducing the speed and is uncapable to fast acceleration. Cvt service now popup on the scree. After taking the vehicle to the dealer. Dealer charge $200+ for read the codes. And ended asking for a 10k to full replace the cvt.

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.

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.

When accelerating vehicle will lose power and not accelerate. Releasing the gas pedal for a few seconds and then pressing it again the vehicle will accelerate. Also, when coming to a stop the transmission with make a high pitch whining noise.

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.

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.

Loud whirring and humming no side coming from the driveshaft when the temperature is below 30°. It goes away when driver for about 3-5 miles and comes back when it cools down next drive.

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving the vehicle at an undisclosed speed he stated he lost a motive of power, causing the vehicle to be towed due to not having power. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed to have an issue with the fuel system. The contact stated the vehicle had been to a dealer on multiple occasions. The contact referenced that the vehicle had a turbo failure that could've been covered under a warranty, but the dealer refused to acknowledge the failure until the last trip to the dealer where they stated that it was a turbo failure, and now the warranty has expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 107,806.

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.

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.

Within the first week of owning my 2023 Nissan Rogue, the vehicle began losing power from highway speeds to around 20 mph, stalling during turns, shaking violently, and displaying warning lights. These issues continued for over a year. Several times I nearly crashed because the vehicle suddenly slowed down or lost power on the highway. Nissan repeatedly told me nothing was wrong, but the vehicle was later included in recall 25v-437 for engine bearing failure. The vehicle became unsafe to drive, and the engine behavior matched the symptoms described by others in the recall.

Nissan had a recall on the turbo hose. Neither the dealer (carvana) or the manufacturer (Nissan) told us about the recall until the matter was too late. It is available to inspect upon request. My car stop in the middle of the hwy without notice, warning, caution lights on dash, etc. My fiancés, daughter, and myself lives were all in danger as we were all in the car. Because the turbo hose was not replaced there was insufficient air flow to the engine. It acts as a conduit for air, connecting components like the air intake to the turbocharger, the turbocharger to the intercooler, and the intercooler to the engine's intake manifold. The car has been inspected by 2 mechanical shops whom have both said the exact same thing and auto zone diagnostic tool.

I was shifting into reverse but the gear slipped back into drive. I didn't react in time and I drove through a wooden fence. The car was damaged but no one, including myself, was hurt.

While driving, the engine started making a loud rattling noise, as if there were loose parts inside. The noise increases when accelerating, and the vehicle has noticeably lost power, especially during gear shifts. It feels like the transmission is struggling or the engine isn’t delivering enough power. This issue raised safety concerns because the vehicle doesn’t respond properly when accelerating or merging into traffic.

1. Component failed: engine bearings (main, a-, c-, l-link). The vehicle is available for inspection at the dealership. 2. Safety risk: complete engine failure while driving, causing loss of power and a high risk of a crash. 3. Problem confirmed? yes, by the Nissan dealership. 4. Inspected by manufacturer? yes, indirectly. Nissan issued official safety recall r25a8 for this exact defect. 5. Warning signs? yes. Check engine light, unusual engine noises, rough performance, and warning messages appeared before the repair attempt.
