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 vehicle was returned to the dealer the following day, and the dealer reprogrammed the engine control module(ECM) software. The failure persisted and the dealer then diagnosed the vehicle with an emissions failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,200.
The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost drive power with several unknown warning lights illuminated. There was white smoke coming from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road. The vehicle was first towed to an independent mechanic, but it was not diagnosed. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, who determined that the engine had failed due to coolant intrusion into the engine from faulty bearings. The dealer informed the contact that the engine needed to be replaced. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the failure was not covered by the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 76,071.
I purchased a 2023 Nissan Rogue in New Jersey. Approximately 45 days after purchase, Nissan issued multiple safety recalls involving a risk of crash. The manufacturer failed to provide the required parts and did not remedy the safety defects within a reasonable time. I repeatedly requested a manufacturer buyback or a rental vehicle while waiting for recall repairs, but Nissan refused both requests. Due to the unresolved safety risk and lack of any reasonable solution, I was forced to sell the vehicle at a significant financial loss. This complaint concerns Nissan’s failure to timely remedy a known safety defect and the resulting consumer harm.

Engine loses power while driving.
My 2023 Nissan Rogue SV engine failed on February 8, 2026. It is currently not on the recall list, but has the same engine as on the recall list. I have contacted Nissan multiple times with no help. My Nissan has 108000 miles and I should have a documented case open with Nissan now. Nissan should repair my engine. I spent $24000 on this vehicle one year ago. This is unacceptable. The vehicle is sitting at the shop with cylinder three filling up with fluid. The Rogue never showed any check engine lights or anything. It just failed. It has the 1.5 liter 3 cylinder turbo engine. The vehicle started shaking. I parked the vehicle then it would not start back. Had it towed to shop to diagnose issue. They confirmed castastropic engine failure.
I took my car to a Nissan Dealership to remedy recall 25V437. All they did was test drive it and reprogram the ECM. They never even looked at the engine oil per their own remedy instructions.This is not satisfactory and is out of process with the procedure described by the NHTSA. Catastrophic engine failure can occur due to this issue.
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.
See attached document for complaint. I received a safety recall notice on my 2023 Nissan Rogue back in August 2025. We are in December, 2025 and the dealer sti ll states that Nissan has not provided parts to repair my car. The reason for the recall is quite serious yet Nissan has not responded to the problem. I am looking to you to take what ever action you can to force Nissan to repair my car to a safe condition. If there is any additional action I can take, please advise what t hat may be. This has gone on long enough. Thank you in advance for any help on getting this problem solved that you can provide.
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.
Engine failed while driving at a high speed while driving in the middle lane on the Garden State Parkway. The engine light came on and my speed started to decrease. Thankfully I was able to pull to the shoulder before the car stopped completely. I got the information about the recall after this happened and was dated for the day after the failure. It has since been replaced through warranty.
See attached document for complaint. PLEASE ADVISE! In August of 2025 we received an important Safety Recall on our 2023 Nissan Rogue Vehicle ------copy enclosed. As of yet our car hasn’t been fixed and having a car with an engine that contains a manufacturing set of defects is alarming. Note------- the letter implied that if the engine fails while driving it--- the result would be loss of power. Can’t tell you our concern of having a crash and engine fire. We contacted our Nissan dealer twice now and was told Nissan Company has not gotten the part needed and how to administer it . This is our third Nissan Vehicle which is paid off. Please don’t make us “get rid” of our vehicle with this problem of worry! It is now as you know November 3, 2025 with no remedy in site. We don’t like traveling on the road knowing what could happen to us and our family at any time. We don’t want to make this a public issue for Nissan but we don’t see any effort from your company. We bought over the years Nissan vehicles as we valued their safety and service. Nissan’s performance is showing failure meeting its standards unacceptable!

White smoke poured out of exhaust upon starting vehicle. When driving the vehicle will smoke and lose power/go into limp mode not letting you accelerate essentially causing you to stop in the middle of traffic or highway and causing the heat not to work. Same model with different vin numbers are already on recall but my vin number is not even though it’s the same engine and I’m having the same issues as the current recall
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.
fOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS i KEEP ENCOUNTERING WARNINGS ABOUT ENGINE EMMISION CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, THIS HAPPENS DURING LOND DISTANCE TRAVEL AND SLOWS DOEN THE CAR CONSIDERABLY AND MAKES IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT WILL NOT DRIVE GREATER THAN 30M/HR. THE EXACT MESSAGE IS MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
On 11/29/25, my 2023 Nissan Rogue suffered a sudden and complete engine failure while driving at Hwy speed (70mph). The vehicle lost propulsion unexpectedly, which created a significant safety risk. The engine now will not start and the dealership has confirmed the turbo failed forcing coolant into the engine and now it requires a full engine replacement. Prior to the failure, I had received recall information where it states that early warning signs include engine malfunction light. This came one twice, but went off right away. I called to schedule my oil change and asked that I have the recall reviewed, explicitly stating that the symptom was consistent with the known VC-Turbo Engine recall. I was told on the phone that there is no current remedy for the recall and nothing would be scheduled for that at that time. My oil change and tire rotation appointment was 11/18/25. I picked up my car on 11/24/25 upon returning from travel. Five days later the engine failed catastrophically without additional warning. The dealer diagnosed the failure as a turbocharger failure that forced coolant into the engine resulting in catastrophic internal damage. The engine is now inoperable and requires replacement. When I inquired about recall coverage, the dealer stated that they did not observe visible bearing damage and therefore concluded that the active recall does not apply and the current recall protocol can only be applied if the vehicle can run post-update, and since my in inoperable, the protocol could not be completed. The extended warranty will cover the turbo but not the full engine because they cannot identify the full extent of damage without full engine teardown at my expense. The failure mode (engine malfunction light, turbo failure, coolant intrusion, sudden engine shutdown) aligns with the failure pattern on the Nissan engine recall. The absence of visible bearing damage on post-failure inspection does not rule out defect, and the denial is unjust.
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.
