| Nov 2025 | SEATS | The heating element in the drivers seat of my 2023 Nissan Rogue shorted out, and started on fire while I was driving. The drivers seat became unbearably hot in less than 4 minutes, I began smelling hot electrical, and by the time I began to pull over, the driver seat was smoking underneath my legs. I could visibly see the white fibers inside of the seat start glowing red as a small hole began to melt between my thighs. I immediately turned the heated seats off and pulled over to exit the car. I have minor burning on the bottom and inside of my thighs. The fire department came to assess and do thermal imaging. It was determined the seats heating element shorted out. There was no warning lights indicating any issues prior to the incident. The heated seats light did begin to flash after the incident. | Crash: No Fire: Yes | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | AIR BAGS,ENGINE | What happened: The vehicle is a 2023 Nissan Rogue (VIN: [XXX] ). The engine failed twice: the first failure required major repairs, and the second resulted in complete engine shutdown. These issues are not related to the prior U.S. accident, which only affected the driver-side airbag. The engine and all critical systems were fully functional upon delivery and can be inspected upon request. The second failure occurred while traveling with my family in a remote desert area from Baghdad to Ramadi, putting our safety at serious risk and causing extreme fear and panic for my wife and [XXX] child. The problem recurred and was confirmed by local service centers during the first repair. There were no warning lights or prior symptoms before the sudden engine stoppage; the failure happened unexpectedly during normal use. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | The engine failed while driving on the interstate at 65+ mph. The malfunction indicator lights came on and beeped loudly, including Engine Malfunction and AWD Malfunction (which I don't have). The vehicle lost power, and the engine began making a frightening noise. I had to get over several lanes with no working gas pedal, and I'm lucky nobody was hurt. I had to be towed thirty miles to the nearest dealership. The dealership, who didn't answer when I called ahead to let them know I was coming, was unhelpful, and employees made jokes about just trading it in instead of fixing it. They said it could be months, and that there's no remedy for the recall. I have to wait until they re-open on Monday to speak with anybody. The only symptom prior was that sometimes the vehicle wouldn't recognize my key fob being near/in the vehicle, but I thought it was a battery problem. I thankfully knew about the recall and mentioned it to the dealership, but they don't seem to be agreeable to loaning me a vehicle in the meantime, so this will be a difficult repair process. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I was driving home at night when my car broke down on the highway. I had to leave the car there and take an Uber home. The next day, I had the car towed to the nearest Nissan Service Center to have it check/repair. They did the diagnostic and they didn't know what's going on with the car, a few days later they told me that the Engine was damaged and needed to be replaced but they were waiting for Nissan to approve it. It took 2 and a half weeks to get the car repair. After the repair, I still have the engine lights come up and the car jerks when accelerating; I reported these issues to Customer Affairs and they didn't do anything about it; they also told me that there is another recall pending and will be taken care of in January. This is not the first time the car broke down, I had all engine lights come up before and had to run the the Nissan Service center; they told me that the fuel gasket was leaking. I don't feel safe driving this car; I have to commute to work everyday and I'm afraid that is going to break down again. I bought a Nissan car because I had like 4 different Nissan models before and they always have been very reliable cars, but this time I think I got a lemon and Nissan don't feel like they need to replace it. I have all the recordings going back and forth with the Customer Affairs where they confirm that it was they fault the car broke down. | Crash: No Fire: No Towed | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Vehicle: 2023 Nissan Rogue, VIN [Your VIN], KR15 Engine Issue / Complaint: I brought my vehicle to [dealership name and location] for the KR15 engine bearing recall (Campaign 25V437) to have the oil pan and engine inspected for metal debris. The dealer refused to perform the required inspection, claiming “no remedy available yet,” and initially tried to charge me for a diagnostic test. The dealership’s refusal violates federal recall requirements, as recall inspections must be performed free of charge. I am concerned that my vehicle may be at risk of engine damage if this inspection is not done. Request: Please ensure the dealership performs the recall inspection properly and at no cost. I have documentation of the visit. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Nov 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Nissan had a recall on the Turbo Hose. Neither the dealer (Carvana) or the manufacturer (Nissan) told us about the recall until the matter was too late.

My car stop in the middle of the HWY without notice, warning, caution lights on dash, etc. My fiancés, daughter, and myself lives were all in danger as we were all in the car.

It acts as a conduit for air, connecting components like the air intake to the turbocharger, the turbocharger to the intercooler, and the intercooler to the engine's intake manifold.

| Nov 2025 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | On Sunday, Nov. 2nd, 2025, about 3:50pm EST, I was driving East on Hwy 25, 5 miles west of near Knox Central High School, heading towards Barbourville, Ky. I was coming from Kingsport, Tn heading to Corbin, Ky to take my mother to her cancer doctors in Lexington on Monday, the 3rd. I was driving 55 mph, in the left lane, the weather was foggy, gray, temp 45 degrees. It was 62 when I left home. I had just turned on both my defrosters because the windows were fogging up. At this time my rear window made an extremely loud pop and exploded! The glass went into the back area of my car. Shards were all around the opening. I was terrified and pulled off the road to the right. I got out and was shocked to see the damage! I took photos and a video. Called my husband, my mom and the Ky State Police to ask what to do. They said to drive on to my mom's house, back it into her open garage, cover it with plastic, and then drive her to the dr early Monday in her car, so I did. Sunday pm: I looked up online what to do and found varying answers, but mainly it said to make detailed notes of the incident (I did), contact the manufacturer (found zero way to contact NISSAN!), and report it to the NTFSA online (they are closed due to the government shutdown). Another place said to call my dealer if still under warranty, call my car insurance if it's not. It was too late by then, went to bed to try Monday. Monday: Mom and I were busy with her tests and dr appts until 5:30, got some food, headed home. Got back, looked up how can a car rear window shatter while driving. It gave a few reasons, and then a list of about 5 known cars this happens to, and my Rogue is one of them! That's why I'm supposed to report it, I suppose. It is certainly dangerous, scary and shocking when it happens! Started filling out this report, here we are. Tuesday: 1st I will call my car dealer. It IS still under warranty. Thank God! I was completely shaken up for a good hour b4 I could drive. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Nov 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Since August 6, 2025, my vehicle has been under a safety recall and has been unusable for over three months. The recall notice states that the remedy is not yet available, and there is no estimated date for when repairs will be completed. I have contacted Nissan multiple times seeking assistance, including requests for a loaner vehicle, rental reimbursement, or buyback, but Nissan has refused to help or provide any interim solution. As a result, I have been without the use of my car for several months due to a manufacturer’s safety defect. Summary of Issues: •Recall active since August 6, 2025 •Remedy not available; no repair timeline provided •Vehicle cannot be safely driven •Manufacturer refuses to assist with transportation, rental, or buyback I am requesting NHTSA’s assistance and investigation into this matter, as it is unreasonable that a safety recall leaves an owner without a vehicle for such an extended period without any remedy or support. Thank you for your attention to this urgent safety concern. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
