36 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 01/17/2026

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.

38 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 11/15/2025

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.

39 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 10/21/2025

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.

40 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 10/20/2025

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.

41 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 10/16/2025

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.

42 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 10/04/2025

43 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2025

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.

46 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 09/04/2025

My vehicle, VIN [xxx] , was operating normally when a check engine light appeared, along with a message indicating engine malfunction and loss of power. I took the vehicle to an authorized Nissan dealership, reed Nissan orlando, where I was assisted by service advisor aaron berning. At the dealership, I was informed that the vehicle had an active turbocharger recall, which could be related to the issue. The recall repair was performed; however, the vehicle was returned to me with the check engine light still illuminated and continued loss of power, despite having no such issues prior to the recall service. The dealership documented an engine problem in writing on the service invoice (invoice no. Xxx, dated 09/04/2025) but refused to repair it, stating that the issue was not covered under the recall. Despite the problem arising immediately after the recall repair, I was required to pay out-of-pocket for a diagnostic inspection. Approximately one week later, the vehicle again experienced engine failure and significant loss of power, making it unusable. I contacted Nissan consumer affairs (Nissan north America), but after reviewing the dealership’s position, Nissan chose to uphold the decision not to cover the repairs. Due to the unresolved mechanical issue, the vehicle became inoperable, causing loss of income, as I rely on the vehicle for work with delivery and rideshare services. I was ultimately unable to continue payments on the financed vehicle, resulting in repossession by the lender. I am submitting this complaint as a last resort and respectfully request that this matter be reviewed and investigated, as the vehicle did not present these issues prior to the recall service. Supporting documentation is available upon request. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

47 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 08/31/2025

While driving my 2023 Nissan Rogue, the engine suddenly stalled as I approached a stop sign. The dashboard lit up with multiple warning lights, including the oil pressure warning. When I attempted to restart, the vehicle made a loud grinding/knocking sound, failed to start properly, and then shut off again. I was unable to restart the vehicle myself. Later, at the dealership, they reported that they were able to turn it on and drive it, but they could not confirm the stall I experienced. The vehicle has also shown other concerning symptoms: shaking when idling, jerking when stopping or accelerating, and occasional grinding noises. My local Nissan dealer eventually reported a broken transmission mount but did not find engine or transmission codes. I am very concerned that my symptoms (stalling, oil pressure light, grinding on restart) are consistent with the open recall for engine bearings on this model. The dealer admitted they currently have no guidance or remedy from Nissan for this recall, so no proper inspection or fix could be performed. Safety hazard: this is a serious safety issue. The car stalled unexpectedly in traffic, leaving me without power. I was unable to restart it, and I feared the engine could fail completely at higher speeds, which could put me and others at risk. Concern: Nissan has not yet provided dealers with instructions or remedies for this recall, leaving owners with unsafe vehicles on the road. I strongly believe my case should be investigated as part of the bearing recall.

Failure Date: 06/19/2025

Battery had to be replaced during 1st oil change. Transmission failed at about 30,000 miles and was replaced. Transmission light went on again we were told it was the transmission it was the gear shift assembly (claiming something spilled in it - not true). Not covered and would cost $1350. . . Charged $260 for diagnostic. Had repaired separately, transmission light is still on. Claiming not covered under warranty even though car has about 80,000 highway miles.

This is directly the issue cited from Nissan as recall with no current solution - which is unacceptable.

60 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 08/21/2024

At 8:00 pm, driving 70 mph on [xxx] from dallas to houston, texas, multiple warning lights and messages illuminated on the dash. Other than a low fuel warning, there were no other warnings or messages at the time of the incident. The warnings and messages displayed were "awd error", aeb system off, rab system off, slip indicator or vdc off, master warning light, and "engine malfunction power reduced service now. " when this occurred, the vehicle began decelerating, and I was unable to accelerate and return to highway speeds. I was driving in the left lane and had to make my way to the shoulder on the right of the highway. Fortunately, I came to a stop approximately two miles from the [xxx] exit for centerville, texas. It would have been extremely dangerous to remain on the shoulder, especially after sunset, so after reading the owner's manual, I decided to travel the shoulder at the very reduced speed my vehicle allowed. After exiting to a safe location and refueling, I called 24/7 Nissan roadside assistance at 8:50 pm. I was told a tow truck would arrive around 10:20 pm, and I would receive text messages with status updates. I called three more times, at 9:32, 11:28, and 11:54 pm. I never received a text message because no towing providers were ever located and dispatched to my location. On the final call at 11:54, I was told they would try again at 8:00 am. Centerville, texas is a small town with a population under 1,000 people. I was left stranded nearly 150 miles from home in a non-major metropolitan city without ample resources such as uber to take me to the nearest hotel. Furthermore, had I not called back, no one from Nissan was going to inform me that I would not receive a tow. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

66 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 09/05/2023

I took the car in to the dealership to have the oil changed. After they finished, they informed me that the oil had been leaking from the oil pan drain plug due to it being stripped. They told me that because the oil pan was made of a "composite material" that it was extremely easy to strip the drain plug and crack the oil pan due to the material that it was made of. Furthermore, this was only the second oil change of the car's lifetime (less than 10,000 miles. ) they also told me that this was a common issue with other drivers of this particular model. They replaced the oil pan under warranty. However, I am extremely concerned about the longevity and safety of this oil pan. If any uninformed mechanic were to change the oil, it could lead to a massive oil leak that could cause the car to stall while on the road.

My new 2023 Nissan Rogue encountered a warning "engine malfunction power reduced service now" after the car was driven 4600 miles in July 28th 2023. The car did not accelerate higher than 15 miles/ hr with the warning and it was difficult to change lanes while driving the vehicle to Nissan service at jeff wyler Nissan, eastgate, ohio - 45103. The warning light went off after the car was restarted a couple of times and the technicians at Nissan service did not find any issue. The issue again resurfaced in 02 Dec 2023, and the car was not running higher than 15 miles/hr. The warning went off after the car was restarted a couple of times. Jeff wyler Nissan service again did not found any issue upon inspection. Reached out to Nissan motors customer service and they did'nt give any solution and asked me to report the issue to the dealer if the issue resurfaces again. My family of 3 have a single car and I feel unsafe to drive this car with a 22 month old infant. When the issue occurs it becomes very risky and unsafe to even change lanes as the car does not move more than 15 miles an hour. Both the times when this issue occurred, huge traffic jam is caused on the road, at the back of my car since the car doe not accelerate and I am subjected to frequent honking. I feel afraid if this incident happens in the interstate highway then this can cause a life risk for me and my family.
