2022 Nissan RogueEngine & cooling

I took my car in 3 times in the past year because I received recall notifications through the mail for engine issues. Each time I took my vehicle in, the dealership told me my vehicle passed the code and did not meet recall criteria. In late September, while traveling my engine gave out. I took my car back to the dealership and was told that because I had gone over my miles and failed to get serviced in a timely fashion, my warranty had expired and I would be responsible for my engine repair. They did not honor the...

2025 Nissan RogueEngine & cooling

FAILED RECALL REMEDY / CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE (VIN: [[redacted]]) Approximately 90 days prior to this failure, I brought my 2025 Nissan Rogue (1.5L VC-Turbo engine) to an authorized Nissan dealership for a mandatory safety recall (NHTSA Campaign 26V080 / 26V081). During that visit, the dealership only performed an Engine Control Module (ECM) software flash and refused to drop the oil pan or physically inspect the engine bearings for existing thermal damage, claiming no check engine light was illuminated. Just...

90 days later, at 66,750 miles, the vehicle suffered a catastrophic engine failure while in operation, which the dealership diagnosed as a blown head gasket requiring over $11,000 in repairs. A blown head gasket is a direct consequential failure of the severe internal oil temperature spikes and bearing seizure documented in Recall 26V080. Because the dealership performed an incomplete recall remedy that failed to detect pre-existing thermal damage to the engine block, the vehicle was left in an unsafe condition that led to total engine failure. Both the dealership and Nissan Consumer Affairs are now refusing to cover the repair at 100% under the recall campaign or Nissan's 10-year/120,000-mile VC-Turbo engine warranty extension, attempting instead to force me into a partial out-of-pocket "Goodwill" co-pay.

I was driving on the highway on 11/8/2026, and suddenly the car's speed reduced drastically and it started violently shaking. The following error message came up: "Idle Stop System - Stop/Start System Fault," and the check engine light came on. Thankfully I did not get into a car crash and was able to pull over to the side of highway. While I was pulled over with the engine on, the car was still shaking and rocking back and forth forcibly. This exact same issue happened in the Summer of 2024 when I just purchased...

the car, brand new from Nissan. At the time they replaced an engine part and assured me the matter had been taken care of. Since then, Nissan has issued multiple recalls related to the Stop/Start system, and now I have brought it to the auto shop again. These two instances of complete loss of motive power, stop/start system fault, and severe engine shaking in a new car are severe safety hazards that could have resulted in a car accident in active highway traffic. I had the vehicle towed to a Nissan dealership for repair work and have opened a case (#57211908) with Nissan Consumer Affairs.

while I was driving in traffic, creating a dangerous situation because there were vehicles both in front of and behind me. The sudden loss of power left me stranded in the roadway and at risk of being involved in a collision. Fortunately, bystanders helped push my vehicle out of traffic and into a nearby parking lot. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. Dick Smith Nissan in [[redacted]], inspected the vehicle and confirmed the issue. Diagnostic testing revealed throttle body fault codes stored in the system. The dealership replaced the throttle chamber, reprogrammed the ECM, and completed a drive cycle to correct the problem. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The vehicle was inspected by Dick Smith Nissan, an authorized Nissan dealership. To my knowledge, the vehicle and component have not been inspected by the manufacturer, law enforcement, or insurance representatives. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No. There were no warning lamps, messages, drivability issues, or other symptoms before the vehicle stalled. After the vehicle stalled in traffic, all dashboard warning lights illuminated. The first indication of a problem occurred at the time of the failure on March 22, 2026. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2024 Nissan RogueElectrical systemAcceleration & cruise controlEngine & cooling

On a Friday heading to work, my 2024 Nissan Rogue experienced a sudden and violent stall while I was attempting to accelerate in traffic, creating an immediate safety hazard. The vehicle instantly entered a severe limp mode. The dashboard flashed an engine malfunction warning and blocked all acceleration inputs. The engine would turn on and idle, but the second I pressed the gas pedal the vehicle would shut off completely. I had a mobile mechanic come out to do a diagnostic scan after i had the car towed home. ...

The diagnostic scan retrieved only electronic throttle control codes P2101 and P2119. There was absolutely no antifreeze or smoke coming out of the tailpipe at the time of the mechanical failure when my vehicle broke down. The vehicle became completely undrivable due to the electronic throttle body failing in motion, which matches open safety recall defects for this model year. Nissan Consumers Affairs is currently refusing to cover the repair under the factory recall safety campaigns.

2022 Nissan RogueTransmission & drivetrainEngine & cooling

An authorized Nissan franchise executed an active safety recall campaign on my vehicle regarding coolant loss. Technicians failed to secure critical powertrain components during reassembly. Three days post-delivery, a major engine bolt fell out on the highway and the chassis began vibrating violently. A certified military base auto hobby shop inspection officially grounded the vehicle, finding a broken rear motor mount bracket, unfastened structural bolts, and a completely disconnected transmission/engine hose left by the franchise. This constitutes a severe post-recall safety failure that actively endangered my family on public roads.

Fortunately, no accident has occurred, but these repeated failures have placed my children, myself, and other motorists at risk. 3.Yes.I kept the vehicle running for approximately four hours while waiting for a tow truck so the dashboard warning would remain displayed. When the vehicle arrived at the Nissan dealership, the warning was still present, allowing technicians to perform diagnostics.

During previous visits, the dealership was unable to reproduce the warning after it disappeared from the dashboard, and the underlying problem remained unresolved. 4.Yes.
