I am filing a complaint regarding my 2022 Nissan Rogue sv awd, which has an active safety recall with no available remedy. I was unaware of this recall at the time of lease, as the dealer did not inform me. After confirming the recall, I also found that it cannot currently be repaired. When I notified the dealer about the recall, they dismissed my concerns and hung up the phone, when I was trying to address the issue, and come to find out, the sales man who sold me the vehicle doesn’t even work there anymore and I could t contact him at all.

While driving, multiple warning lights appeared on the dashboard, including the check engine light, malfunction indicator, and crash sensor warnings. A message then displayed: “engine malfunction power reduced service now. ” the engine began making loud knocking noises, lost power, and the vehicle entered reduced-power mode. The issue appears to be related to the ongoing engine bearing failure recall (r25a8 / 25v-437) affecting Nissan vehicles with vc-turbo engines. Because of these symptoms and the risk of complete engine failure or loss of motive power, the vehicle became unsafe to drive and was parked. The problem poses a serious safety risk, as the loss of power occurred suddenly while the vehicle was in motion, which could cause an accident if it happens in traffic. The problem has not yet been repaired because the manufacturer has not released the full recall remedy. I called the Nissan dealership in greeneville TN, at 8:53 am est on 11/08/2025 the vehicle is currently parked at my residence. I was advised by the dealership to call back on Monday morning to schedule an inspection at a Nissan dealership. Warning lights and the “engine malfunction power reduced” message first appeared shortly before the loud knocking began and power loss occurred on the vehicle.

There is an active engine recall, but Nissan has not provided a repair or parts for several months.

The dealer confirmed the recall but cannot complete the repair until Nissan provides instructions. No warning lights appeared before the failure, though the lane departure and collision warning lights came on after the stall.

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

My engine kept having a rough performance in idle and driving. It made rattling noises when accelerating. Took it to Nissan dealerships multiple times and was told it was safe to drive in that condition and it can be in regards to the current safety recall on this vehicle. They refused to provide a loaner or state I may need to stop driving this car. There is currently no remedy available. My car finally gave out on 10/26/25 when thick white smoke came out of it as I’m driving causing me to lose power on an expressway that maintains speeds up to 60 mph or more. I could’ve have been ran into from behind . I had it towed to the dealership they submitted info to the warranty department. And they denied it stating it had nothing to do with recall. When it fact it does because the inter cooler and turbo are a part of the engine and the recall states the defect can cause other engine components to fail. Nissan is a complete joke. No warning lights came on or anything in regards to this issue even when the engine failed.

This is a supplemental complaint to NHTSA id #11604939. On October 25, 2025, passport Nissan in alexandria, virginia diagnosed my 2016 Nissan Rogue with fault code p17f1, which indicates a known cvt transmission failure. The technician documented drivability issues including hesitation, slipping, and pulsing during acceleration. The diagnostic sheet recommended full cvt replacement. The dealership submitted a warranty request to Nissan’s diagnostic validation team, and internal documentation shows a full transmission job totaling $6,996. 44. Nissan classified the failure as warrantable under goodwill. Despite this, Nissan later offered only a partial valve body repair with a 50/50 cost split and a 3-day deadline. This contradicts Nissan’s own technical service bulletin, which states that if fault code p17f1 returns after reprogramming, the transmission must be replaced. The dealership’s own technician confirmed the failure was warrantable and recommended full replacement. This misrepresentation minimizes a known safety defect and compromises consumer protection. The issue has been confirmed by a dealership technician, documented in service records, and submitted to Nissan’s internal warranty team. The vehicle experienced hesitation and loss of power during acceleration, which posed a safety risk while driving. This reflects a broader pattern of concealment and avoidance of full liability for transmission failures across Nissan vehicles. I request that NHTSA investigate this matter as a potential safety defect and deceptive repair practice. The component is available for inspection upon request, and all documentation has been submitted to the virginia attorney general’s consumer protection section and I am prepping for other filings.

My vehicle makes a rattling sound, especially when accelerating, and it seems to be coming from the engine compartment or front drive train. The recall (25v-437) has something to do with engine bearings. I'm afraid that the engine might shutdown, which is a possible risk cited by Nissan. The pending remedy is 4 months in the making, but still nothing as of this writing. What gives??.

I had been having issues with my vehicle randomly stalling out when I would start it and put it into reverse. It also was hesitating during acceleration at times. On 9/2/25 I took it to a Nissan dealership for these issues and was told they couldn’t find anything wrong. I specifically asked if it could be related to the recall I had just received notice about in the mail and was told ‘probably not’. The issues persisted off and on the next few weeks and I was about to call them to let them know things were still not working right and some things had gotten worst (like almost stalling out in the middle of the day at a light). On 10/21/25 (6 weeks after the dealership said there was nothing wrong with my car) I started having major problems driving home and the heat would not work. I barely got it home and by then it was running very rough. Husband looked and said there was almost no antifreeze and added some. He said I couldn’t drive it and we had to tow it in the morning. Tow truck driver nearly started it on fire because he couldn’t get it into service mode and it started smoking terribly for the 30 seconds it was on. Nissan dealership (different one) said there were five 2022 Nissan roque’s with the same problem ahead of me. After almost a week they called to tell me Nissan is replacing the ‘engine long block and turbo’. I’ve had to rent a car at $400/week and have no idea how long this is going to take. Thankful I wasn’t driving when things got really bad. Also - no service lights have ever come on indicating anything was wrong at any point.

I was in a head on collision going 55-60mph with no airbags deployed. Car started a dripping fire. I have seatbelt lacerations starting from collarbone/neck area cross my chest, breast and right side ribs including deep bruising on lower abdomen and pelvic area. Police would not let me in my car bc air bags could potentially go off at any time but car made it to the tow-yard still without airbags going off. No warning or recalls sent to me since I bought the car in may of 2022.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was vibrating abnormally. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the vibration occurred especially when the vehicle was idling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact was advised that the failure could possibly be related to an unrepaired recall. The contact had received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 25v437000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000. The VIN was unavailable.

To whom it may concern, I am filing a vehicle safety complaint regarding a sudden and complete failure of the body control module (bcm) in my 2015 Nissan Rogue. This failure has resulted in a complete "no-start" condition, rendering the vehicle inoperable without warning. The problem occurred on or about [date of breakdown, if known]. The vehicle would not start, despite the ignition powering on. A professional diagnosis was performed, which confirmed that the body control module had failed and was not sending the required signal to the intelligent power distribution module (ipdm) to allow the vehicle to start. The technician's notes state: "found no signal from bcm to ipdm to start vehicle. " I have since learned that this is a known manufacturer issue, documented in Nissan technical service bulletin (TSB) ntb16-024, titled "no start, mil on, dtc u1000, u1010, c110a, p1614, p1615, p1630, p1631 (reprogram bcm or replace ipdm). " the diagnosis and attempted repair on my vehicle perfectly match the procedure outlined in this TSB. Safety concern: while a"no-start" condition may not seem like a traditional safety hazard, the sudden and unpredictable nature of this failure presents a significant safety risk. A vehicle that becomes completely inoperable without warning can strand drivers and passengers in potentially dangerous situations, such · in the middle of intersections or busy roadways. · in isolated areas with no access to help. · during extreme weather conditions (extreme heat, cold, storms). · while transporting individuals with medical needs. The failure of a critical electronic component like the bcm, which is responsible for numerous vehicle functions, at only 50,000 miles indicates a serious and potentially widespread defect in materials or workmanship. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this failure pattern in 2014-2016 Nissan Rogue vehicles. Existence of a TSB and numerous complaints from other owners online suggest a major defect.

Two weeks ago my 2023 Nissan broke down on the highway and with reduced power mode we were able to bring it to the closest Nissan dealer. When we got there it was closed but we left the car and asked for a recall inspection due to the note that displayed on the dashboard matching what we had received in recall. We were informed Monday that it has nothing to do this the recall. . . We went back and forth with our Nissan dealer and called Nissan corporate and they refused to do the recall assessment which would be looking for metal shaving in the oil pan. They claimed this was because there was not sufficient enough evidence, even though there has been rattling, when I got an oil change he said it was very messy, our thermometer is broken and now I broke down on the highway. They still claimed there was not enough to warrant the assesment. They determined it was the ivt sensor which was a $1,432 fix. We went back and forth with Nissan corporate again to get the recall assessment done so that we could know if this was affecting why we needed a new part that shouldnt need to be replaced so early. . . . But we were denied again. We paid the money, but are still having issues with our car and Nissan dealer and corporate outright refused to evaluate our car for safety recall engine issues affected by recall. Manufacturer recall numberr25a8 NHTSA recall number25v-437.

Losing power with the vehicle, 6 weeks ago, and have been told that the turbo package has to be replaced. In checking with the part replacement, it’s on back order from the manufacturer and no firm date has been given by dealership on when this will be resolved. This occurred with no check engine light or warning system alerting me. Was unable to drive faster than 40 mph, putting me and my family at risk of being involved in a serious accident for those able to drive faster than we were. There is a current recall on the engine with no remedy per the dealership and corporate representive but they consider the “turbo package” not part of the engine? concerned with the turbo package on back order that there are more vehicles experiencing the same problem that I am having and that there maybe some “cover up” by the manufacturer and want to make sure that this is being investigated. Please advise next steps.

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.
