| Jan 2026 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving 60-70 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that while driving in the mountains, the message "Engine Malfunction-Losing Power" was displayed, and the vehicle failed to accelerate upon depression of the accelerator pedal. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. The contact stated that upon restarting the vehicle, the vehicle shuddered significantly. The contact turned off the vehicle due to safety concerns. The contact and her four family members, who were also occupying the vehicle were picked up by the contact's sister. A tow truck picked up the vehicle 12 hours later. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the thermostat was replaced. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated while driving on the freeway 3-4 days later. The contact advised the dealer that the failure could be related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the dealer informed the contact that the failure was not related to the recall, and the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the fuel pump had failed and the dealer replaced the fuel pump two weeks later. The contact stated that upon picking up the vehicle and driving to the residence, the vehicle shuddered. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the engine and transmission mounts were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that oil was leaking into the inner cooler, and the oil leak was most likely from the turbo. The dealer replaced the inner cooler, the turbo, and the fuel injectors. The manufacturer covered the repair; however, the failure persisted, and the message "Engine Malfunction-Losing Power" was displayed. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and several cases were filed. The failure mileage was approximately 73,000. | Crash: No Fire: No Towed | 73,000 |
| Jan 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | 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 . | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | A whole lot of mess! I recently bought my 2022 nissan rogue in May of 2025. We took it to the regular oil change and check ups and nothing concerning came up. We got mail for a recall and I brought it in and the Nissan dealership in Elk Grove, Ca turned us down and said "it was not in their system yet." So, took it again and still the same answer. Well in November before thanksgiving, we started the car and white chemical smell of smoke came out which was the coolant. We towed it to our own mechanic because these dealerships will screw you. Now it's been a whole month that our car has been sitting at the mechanics. Engine was torn apart, everything was all broken and needed to be replaced. My mechanic called the dealership and said they will not pay for it even if it was their issue. Now I'm trying to get my warranty to pay for it since I purchased it. I will not be paying the $10,000 to get that vehicle fixed. I will be seeking an attorney for this lemon car. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, the engine revved, but the vehicle failed to accelerate over 60 MPH while depressing the accelerator pedal. The failure continued the rest of the drive. The contact stated that two hours later, the contact restarted the vehicle, and the check engine warning light illuminated, and the messages "Engine Malfunction - Power Reduced Now, and “Engine Malfunction - See Owner's Manual Now" were displayed on the instrument panel. The dealer was contacted, and an appointment was scheduled and a diagnostic test was pending. The check engine warning light remained illuminated, and two unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The contact stated that when the vehicle was driven over 40 MPH, the engine revved and the vehicle accelerated independently. The contact believed that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 49,540. | Crash: No Fire: No | 49,540 |
| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I bring my car for a recall notice on the 11/28/25 , and on Saturday 11/29/25 my car lost power he couldn't go faster than 45 mph. and the engine light on and 3 other lights was on to, I bring my car back to the dealer and they told me it was the oil cooler thermostat and bled system they charged me 1203.20 for the fix. and they keep my car for 3 days. finally , they returned the car to me on 12/2/25 I drove it for short time and it happened again same problem same engine light on, lost the power and lot of smoke come out of the muffler, My family and I ran out of the car because I thought it was to catch on fire, people around also saw the smoke and ran.

| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | I am writing to complain about this known recall as it has been unresolved for six months and is severe: Jun 26,2025 Manufacturer Recall NumberR25D1 NHTSA Recall Number25V-437 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete I have called several Nissan dealers and they are aware of issue but have no direction from manufacturer. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | I was advised by the dealership that my EGR cooler needs replaced due to it failing. My car was acting like it was going to stall out on several different occasions and the malfunction warning light would also come on. The car would have no heat due to all the antifreeze leaking out. I have white smoke coming out of the tailpipe with a strong odor. I’ve had the car maybe 6 months! There are a lot of complaints regarding this issue that have been fixed under the latest engine recall but I’m being told I have to pay for it to be fixed. I find it odd there’s so many people with the same issue and is being rectified due to the engine recall | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | STRUCTURE | I am submitting this complaint regarding a persistent water intrusion defect in my 2022 Nissan Rogue Platinum that Nissan has not formally addressed through a recall, despite published Technical Service Bulletins acknowledging the issue. During periods of heavy rain and when using automated car washes, water enters the cabin from the sunroof area on both the passenger and driver sides. I discovered this only after observing blue soap residue running down the interior side panels, and upon further inspection have since noticed signs of mold growth inside the vehicle within the past month. After researching this problem, I learned that this issue is well documented and widespread among 2021–2023 Nissan Rogue vehicles. Nissan has issued multiple Technical Service Bulletins, including TSB BT21-020B, identifying defective sunroof drain clips and revised repairs. However, Nissan has not issued a recall or formal owner notification, despite the clear pattern of failure reported online across consumer forums, Reddit, and Nissan owner communities with hundreds, if not thousands, of similar complaints. I was forced to seek repair through a local Nissan dealership, which charged me $289.24 for the repair. This defect is not the result of wear and tear or misuse, but of an inherently defective design component that allows water intrusion into sealed vehicle compartments. This defect creates health risks from mold exposure, risks damage to interior components and electronics, and reduces vehicle resale value. I believe Nissan should have issued a safety recall rather than shifting financial responsibility to owners for correcting a known manufacturing defect. Continued water intrusion and mold formation represent a health and safety concern that warrants NHTSA review. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this matter and require Nissan to issue a recall or provide reimbursement coverage to affected owners. Thank you for your consideration. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle made a dinging sound, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the coolant temperature gauge was fluctuating. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and noticed that there was white smoke coming from the tailpipe. The contact was able to drive to the residence. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start the following morning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine had failed. The dealer determined that the engine needed to be repaired or replaced. The contact became aware that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000. | Crash: No Fire: No Towed | 98,000 |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that there was an abnormal clicking sound coming from the vehicle. While driving at 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where the engine mounts were replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case, but declined the buyback request. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000. | Crash: No Fire: No Towed | 60,000 |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE | While driving at highway speed, the vehicle suddenly lost all engine power without warning and rapidly decelerated in traffic. This created a severe safety risk, and the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The issue was later connected to open recall R25A8, involving engine bearing failure and sudden loss of power. The dealership confirmed that no inspection procedure or repair remedy exists and stated that they have no timeline for when Nissan will provide one. Despite this, the dealer returned the vehicle to me and claimed it was safe to drive, even though the problem remains unresolved. Nissan Consumer Affairs refuses to communicate in writing and only provides verbal phone calls. Each time they call, they state that they will “provide an update in three days,” but no real progress or written documentation has been provided. Meanwhile, I am left with a vehicle that experienced a complete loss of power on the freeway and remains unsafe to operate. Independent diagnostics showed multiple critical fault codes involving the engine, ECM, ABS pump motor, and brake control modules. Warning lights appeared only after the failure; there were no warnings prior to the incident. The safety defect is ongoing, unresolved, and there is currently no available remedy from the manufacturer, leaving the vehicle unsafe and posing continued riskI am requesting a full buyback of the vehicle with compensation for all related losses. I have already communicated this request to Nissan, and as mentioned above, they only call with delayed updates and do not resolve the issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE | I HAVE EXPERIENCED UNUSUAL ENGINE NOISES, ROUGH ENGINE PERFORMANCE, ILLUMINATION OF THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL), AND WARNING MESSAGES DISPLAYED IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE ENGINE HAS FAILED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER TWICE, ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY. I have been to the dealership mechanic 3 times with this issue, the first occurred prior to the recall coming out. The Last time I was told to pay for a diagnostic or they would not be able to help me; I paid and was told they could not find anything relevant to my issue. I was just told that there was no further information occurring from this recall. I feel as if the car is almost undrivable. It is definitely unsafe and unreliable. And a car constantly revs at 6000 RPM's prior to switching gears if it switches gears. At this point I don't know what to do and regret buying a Nissan as they won't even help. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,POWER TRAIN | The contact leased a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, the AWD warning light illuminated, and the vehicle lost power. The driver was able to pull over safely. Upon investigation, the contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) and stated that the dealer had leased the vehicle with an active recall. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 47,600. | Crash: No Fire: No | 47,600 |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE | 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 | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE,BACK OVER PREVENTION | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE | While being driven in neighborhood at about 35 MPH, suddenly stalled . The screen showed different multiple warnings . Tried to restart engine several times but keep showing multiple warnings and failed to start. I then called Nissan service center and get car towed to them. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). However, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. No warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to move to the side of the road. The contact called Roadside Assistance, and the vehicle was jump-started. However, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to a shopping center, where an AutoZone was located. An employee from Auto Zone used a reader and retrieved DTC: P0012, P0196, C10511c, C108086, and C10B344. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and it was determined that the water control valve had failed, and the transmission mount needed to be replaced. The dealer replaced the transmission mount and the water control valve; however, the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was still vibrating. The contact had safety concerns about driving the vehicle since the part was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000. | Crash: No Fire: No Towed | 62,000 |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE | While driving my 2022 Nissan Rogue, the engine suddenly shut off without warning and the vehicle would not restart. There is an active engine recall, but Nissan has not provided a repair or parts for several months. This unexpected loss of power put my family’s safety and mine at risk, as the incident could have caused a serious accident if it had occurred in traffic or on a freeway. 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | See attached document for complaint. I have gotten all your notices about the recall, and we advised our dealer Courtesy Nissan now Cooley Nissan of Richardson, Texas and t hey said they will advise us when they are prepared to correct the faults. Unfortunately, everything you describe in the literature happened to the above car before we received your notices and I spent almost $15,000 correcting the problems. We were advised at the time that we did not put oil in the car causing all the warning lights to come on even though we regularly went to an oil change company to change the oil. I was told they could put a new engine in, and the cost would be about $10,000. I reluctantly agreed and realized the man that advised us to do this at Courtesy/Cooley, I believe, was fired the next day or in any event he was no longer there after that. Sometime after that all our warning lights came on again and we were back at Cooley, and they said the alternator needs changing so they changed that charged me around $2000 and were ready to return the car. That day before picking up the car I was in the sales department trying to trade the car for another car and they advised me they could not do the exchange because the red lights are still on! This is the day I am picking up the car from having the alternator changed and I would be penalized because of the mileage on the car also. I explained I have a new engine and should not be penalized for the old engine's mileage. I went back to the man who serviced the alternator change and he said don't worry about the light being on as they can fix that as they found t he motor mounts broken which were re placed when the new engine was put in. I then authorized them to fix the car so the lights would go off, and it was hit with another big bill. I still cannot believe the car was being returned to me with the warning lights on. I have heard Cooley has a very bad reputation in Dallas and if these are examples then I understand where those comments come from. I would like to be reimbursed for these overcharges resulting I believe comes from the recall problem at its origin. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | STEERING | The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 5 MPH, the front passenger’s wheel locked up, and the vehicle failed to steer as intended. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road and inspected. The contact became aware that the tie rod end had fractured. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the tie rod end needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000. | Crash: No Fire: No Towed | 50,000 |
| Oct 2025 | ENGINE | The vehicle intermittently loses power and displayed “Engine Malfunction/ Service Now” warnings beginning several months ago. Diagnostic code U0652 (Lost Communication with EGR System) was recorded. This failure was later confirmed by a Nissan dealer, who identified a faulty EGR valve and differential-pressure sensor, with low coolant and internal coolant loss (no external leaks). During review with Nissan’s regional case manager, engine contamination was noted as a factor, yet this information was never disclosed to me by the dealership. The EGR valve, cooler, and sensors share coolant and exhaust pathways with the engine, meaning contamination within those circuits can block sensors and cause drivability loss or limp-mode events — exactly what occurred. Despite these findings, Nissan classified the issue as “unrelated” to Recall R25A8, which involves internal bearing debris and coolant contamination capable of circulating through those same systems. Nissan offered to cover only 50% of repair costs and refused to provide their decision in writing. Nissan’s recall inspection procedure requires removal of the oil pan and inspection for debris, which was never performed. I was provided an oil sample after diagnosis - proof that the pan was not dropped. This raises concerns that Nissan failed to follow the prescribed recall diagnostic process. Additionally, I have been forced to personally pay hundreds of dollars for a rental vehicle because Nissan stated rental reimbursement would not be provided until the repair is completed, despite the vehicle being undrivable due to the recall-related defect. I do not feel comfortable proceeding with the repair or continuing to drive the vehicle in its current condition, as the underlying recall issue has not been properly addressed or resolved. This defect poses a serious safety risk due to potential engine failure, sudden power loss, and internal coolant contamination that could lead to further mechanical damage or fire. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
