The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle decelerated to 30 mph. 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 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.

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.

I am reporting a safety defect for my 2021 Nissan Rogue with approximately 140,000 miles. The vehicle has repeatedly overheated, emitted white smoke from the dipstick area and the exhaust, lost coolant, and produced no cabin heat. The engine rattles and shakes. I previously had a recall fixed at Nissan related to the ecu, but these issues persist. I’ve also had regular maintenance on the vehicle and replaced the starter as well. I believe this relates to the known engine defect in these models. I am concerned for my safety and need this addressed.

Vehicle has plume of blue smoke each time it turns on, burning oil. Was informed by mechanic that it is a bad piston ring, which is common with this vehicle’s engine. It will eat through a full engine of oil in two months. 4k-10k fix. Car has 71k miles on it; under 10k miles put on it a year. Gets regular oil changes based on typical recommendation for a low mileage vehicle. Oil is checked regularly. This is in addition to a bad intake fan that needed replacing and cost 1. 5k that others have been complaining of where the car would severely overheat.

Blinking lights on dashboard, notified Nissan, they stated they knew of recall, but didn't know how to resolve yet, engineers were working on the issue, they stated when it breaks down just bring it in. Car engine light blinks, all warning lights blink, car stops immediately while pulling into to drive way. Lights appeared 1 day ago, then drove ok. Started car this morning to go to work, 4 miles away pulled in and car started blinking all emergency lights, quickly called Nissan they were closed to due to holiday. Emergency lites are check engine light, Feb light, master warning light, aeb lights , malfunction indicator light (mil). Rab light, the start button contents blink when all theses lights are blinking. The fact that Nissan told me to wait till it breaks down, or they would call me to fix recall when they know how is irresponsible .

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.

Electronic throttle body failure. No power engine stopped while operating. Dealership replaced electronic throttle body and tested electronic . Could have caused crash . Nissan declining recall reimbursement expense and tow . Have extended coverage still declined.

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.

Vehicle stalls repeatedly at highway speeds. Loss of motive power. Occurred five times in one trip. No alerts. It just says engine malfunction. Powering down.

The vehicle, a 2022 Nissan Rogue with the 1. 5l vc-turbo engine, suddenly entered severe limp mode: unable to exceed 35-40 mph on flat roads, barely 10 mph on hills, with high rpm and noise. The malfunction indicator light illuminated along with "engine malfunction service now" message and triangle warning light. These symptoms exactly match the early warning signs in safety recall 25v-437 for defective engine bearings that can cause progressive degradation, engine damage, or failure. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Nissan dealer, who performed the recall inspection (oil pan drop) but reportedly found no metal debris. The dealer then diagnosed separate issues—oil temperature sensor, coolant temperature sensor replacement, full oil pan replacement for minor seepage, and other warning lights—and quoted approximately $1,900 in customer-paid repairs, claiming they are unrelated to the recall or warranty despite the symptoms aligning precisely with the recall's description of bearing-related limp mode. This created a safety risk due to sudden loss of motive power while driving, increasing the potential for a crash. As a full-time cancer researcher and phd student who depends on this vehicle for daily lab commuting and time-sensitive experiments, the breakdown and repair dispute have caused major hardship: over a week without transportation, extensive time coordinating tows, appointments, and escalations with Nissan consumer affairs, and disruption to critical research. The dealer confirmed the limp mode and warnings, and inspected the vehicle under the recall procedure. Warning lamps/messages appeared suddenly prior to towing; no unusual noises noted earlier. The affected components (engine controls/sensors potentially stressed by the bearing defect) remain at the dealer for inspection. The recall should provide free ecm reprogramming, oil change, and gasket replacement even without debris, yet the dealer is charging for diagnostics and repairs from the same defect.

The contact’s son owns a 2024 Nissan Rogue. While the contact’s son was driving approximately 65 - 70 mph, the vehicle decelerated and was shaking with several unknown warning lights illuminated.
