2023 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

The engine failed, and yes its available for inspection, my safety was put at risk due to the white billowing smoke out the exhaust and the smell entering in the vehicle while driving down the interstate, i proceeded to pull off onto an exit and stop at a red light and my car made me put into park and then proceeded to not crank or move other then neutral, The problem was originally part of an active recall of R25D10 Reprogramming the ECM, and P4A470 replacing the turbo hose. I originally brought my vehicle to Nissan Dealership to have those fixed on February 6th 2026. However after finding that my vehicle ended up with low oil and dried my entire system of coolant, and then proceeded to turn off in traffic on August 22nd 2026, I became aware of an extended recall that did not notify me or my specific Vin yet in the system, however the recall had been upgraded since February 11th 2026. The only warning lights were saying I needed an oil change soon, the check service warning, and the coolant temperature gauge getting hot when my engine was needing to drive, and before shutting off the car told me to put into park, pressing on the gas would not move the car. The new recall codes are R25E2, and R25E3?

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced at the dealer, and after retrieving the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle entered LIMP Mode while driving and failed to accelerate properly. The vehicle was driven back to the dealer, and the vehicle was diagnosed with a PC booster control sensor and EGR communications failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 102,000.

Sitting in a parking lot at 9:30 am on 08//19/2026. Car not running. 80 degree temperature outside. Back glass spontaneously exploded. No one around. No cars driving by. I was at work on break in a factory parking lot. No injuries. Just freaked out and puzzled.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the check engine warning light remained illuminated, and the vehicle eventually stalled. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The vehicle was diagnosed with turbo charger assembly failure. The contact was informed that the turbo charger assembly needed to be replaced. No further information was available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Trunk window randomly blew out it sounded like somebody shot a gun at the car it was that loud. Did not hit a bump or anything it just randomly happened while driving early in the morning. Glass shattered everywhere.

The vehicle experienced a catastrophic engine/motor failure. The engine became extremely loud/rattled and subsequently locked up, causing the vehicle to lose the ability to operate. The vehicle is currently being held for diagnosis/repair and should be available for inspection upon request. The vehicle experienced the failure while I was driving and left me stranded on a mountain. The vehicle lost its ability to operate, creating a significant safety risk because I was left stopped and without reliable transportation. A sudden engine failure while driving could also create a traffic hazard for the occupants and other motorists. Yes. The vehicle has been taken to a Nissan dealership for diagnosis following the failure. The vehicle experienced a catastrophic engine failure/lock-up. I am requesting the dealership’s written diagnostic report and confirmation of the exact failed component. The vehicle has been presented to Nissan for inspection and diagnosis. Nissan is currently involved in determining the cause of the engine failure. There has not been a police inspection that I am aware of. I am requesting that Nissan preserve and provide all diagnostic findings, photographs, technician notes, and repair records. Prior to the failure, the vehicle began exhibiting abnormal engine symptoms, including a loud/rattling engine noise and difficulty operating normally. The symptoms occurred shortly before the catastrophic failure on August 14, 2026. The vehicle subsequently became inoperable when the engine locked up. I am requesting the dealer’s diagnostic scan to determine whether any warning codes or messages were stored before or during the failure.

While driving my 2023 Nissan Rogue at approximately 65 mph, the vehicle suddenly lost power while in motion, creating a serious risk of a crash and placing my safety and the safety of other motorists at risk. There were no oil warning lights, malfunction indicator lights, or other warnings indicating an impending engine failure. After losing power, the vehicle would not restart and was completely undriveable. It had to be towed to an authorized Nissan dealership. The dealership initially advised that the no-start condition was related to the battery cable and required me to pay for a battery cable repair. My battery was only a few months old and independently tested as good. The vehicle remained inoperable after the battery cable repair, and I was subsequently informed that the engine had failed. During the oil-pan inspection, the Nissan technician documented the inspection by video and specifically identified metallic debris in the oil pan. The dealership also reported sludge. I retained the dealership’s video documentation. My vehicle is subject to a Nissan safety recall involving engine bearing degradation that can result in engine failure and loss of motive power. The recall remedy includes inspection of the oil pan for metallic debris and engine replacement when necessary. Despite the loss of power at approximately 65 mph, engine failure, and metallic debris identified by its own technician, Nissan denied the recall repair based on sludge. Nissan Consumer Affairs also denied my escalation. I am requesting NHTSA review Nissan’s refusal to perform the safety recall remedy and determine whether the recalled bearing condition caused or contributed to this failure. The vehicle remains at the Nissan dealership and is available for inspection.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving out of town, the vehicle suddenly went into LIMP Mode. The accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to exceed 70 MPH and decelerated unintendedly. The vehicle was driven approximately 30 MPH to the residence. The message “Engine Malfunction” was displayed, and the temperature gauge rose to HOT. The 4WD message was displayed. The vehicle was pulled over and inspected, and the contact became aware that one of the coolant reservoirs was empty, and coolant was added to the coolant reservoir. The odometer and infotainment screen also repeatedly turned on and off. The vehicle was towed to a local Nissan dealer, where it was diagnosed with a coolant leak in the engine, which caused the engine failure and turbocharger failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V080000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer opened a case regarding the failure but offered to cover only 30 percent of the cost of the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 95,600.

Back window on liftgate spontaneously shattered while the car was being driven. There was no rock, road debris or previous cracks in the window.

My 2023 Nissan Rogue SL FWD began exhibiting a jerking/kicking sensation from the transmission starting in approximately June 2026. Initially, the vehicle moved smoothly on level surfaces, but whenever I had to apply the accelerator pedal from a stop to start moving, a distinct kick or jerk would occur. I did not initially consider this a serious issue. In July 2026, an engine repair was performed on the vehicle. Following that repair, the transmission jerking issue worsened significantly. It now occurs every single time I start the vehicle moving from a stop and press the accelerator pedal - not intermittently, but consistently. Notably, the jerk does NOT occur while the vehicle is at a standstill (e.g., stopped at a red light) - it only occurs during the initial acceleration from a stop. This behavior is consistent with widely reported CVT shudder/jerk issues documented by other Nissan Rogue owners, in prior NHTSA complaints, and in class action litigation regarding Nissan’s CVT transmissions. I am concerned this represents a safety-related defect, as unexpected jerking during acceleration from a stop (e.g., pulling into traffic or merging) could increase the risk of a collision. I am a single mother of three children, and this vehicle is my family’s only means of transportation. I am reporting this issue now, before an accident occurs, because I am concerned about the safety risk of unexpected jerking during acceleration, especially when merging into traffic with my children in the car. I am filing this complaint to formally document the issue with NHTSA and am also pursuing repair of this defect under the vehicle’s factory warranty.
