| Apr 2024 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | My vehicle cabin smells like gas after driving for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. I took it back to the dealership in January 10, 2024 where they changed hose assembly blow by PVC hose. This did not resolve the issue. The fuel smell is very strong inside the cab as will as standing outside the vehicle | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I own a 2023 Nissan Rogue SV, I have a consistant odor problem, I have talk to corporate, and my dealer and neither will take responsiblity for the problem. The odor of gasoline smell is both outside and inside of the vehicle. I am going tomorrow (again) to the dealer to get some computer update and will again ask why they cannot fix this problem. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | ENGINE | On March 13, 2023 I purchased a new Crown Nissan Rogue. For the most part, the car has performed well up until this year when I have had issues with the Engine Malfunction light coming on. Specifically, I get the message:” Engine Malfunction. Power reduced, Service now”. The car then goes into a slow decline of power and the speed reduces significantly at which point I will pull over to a safe spot and turn off the engine. Typically, after waiting a few minutes, I am able to start car without the engine coming on and will proceed home. This is the third such incident of this occurring this year (January, February and now March). I brought the vehicle in for service in February and noted this dilemma. The service personnel did address the issue but could not find anything that they could attribute it to. This latest episode occurred on March 22, 2024. Again, I pulled over and turned off the ignition and called service personnel. After letting the vehicle sit a while, I again was able to start it without the Malfunction light coming on and proceeded home until I can bring it in for service today. I am at the point that I am beginning to feel uncomfortable driving the vehicle because this is the third such time that this has occurred. God forbid that I am out on the highway when this happens. Spoke with service personnel and manager on 3/23/2024 | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | I have been driving on hwy and the nissan give me a message (engine reduce power) and it dosent let me accelerate more than 30 mph and if some cases just turns off i took it to the stealership and they told me that everything is right and that is that normal and now it has a vibration and i took it and they say its normal too now a have a piece of crap cmsuv that im paying to not even work | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | There is a noise on the engine the change the engine and turbo after that the noise continues they said I need tu put gas 93 unleaded I been putting that gas the car continues with the noise and now is shaking | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | My car has a horrible gas oder, at first only noticed it in the garage but the more I drive it the more I can smell it. Cannot put windows down while driving or you just smell gas. If you run lots of errands in a day you can start to smell it as you approach your car in the parking lot. I have had it in to nissan twice and all they do is replace a hose. But it is not a fix in fact it doesn't help at all | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE | The cruise control and safety driving system shuts off and the message “Forward driving aids disabled. Front sensor blocked” comes on. This happens every few miles now. Pulling over, shutting off the engine, and restarting it resets the system, but it cuts out again. Sometimes if I just keep driving, it will reset itself in a few miles. This has been dangerous at highway speeds due to it coming on and vehicle decelerating suddenly. It's also dangerous because it shuts off the vehicle avoidance system. In a 4 hour trip it can happen up to 6 to 8 times. We've taken it to dealership, but they have not found an error message etc and said they cannot do anything about it unless the issue gets worse or a recall is created for the Lane Camera, which has had reported issues of overheating. The following web link has more information of other drivers with the exact same issue as I described...

| Mar 2024 | ENGINE | On [XXX], on our 2023 Rogue with only 9100 miles on it suffered complete engine failure while driving the highway. The car had been operating for about 10 minutes, and we had just onboarded the freeway entrance and after about a mile at normal highway speeds, with no warning, the engine started making loud knocking sounds and there was a immediate loss of motive power. This occurred during heavy traffic and was a close call with drivers behind the car. If the car had been in the left most or middle lanes of the highway it is likely the car would have not made it off the middle of the highway and it likely could have caused a severe chain reaction accident, and it could have been life threatening as it was during rush hour with heavy rush traffic and lots of large trucks. Since we were still in the right most lane we were able to roll onto an exit ramp where the engine stopped all together because there was no more forward momentum. We were not even able to pull off the exit lane completely putting the occupants at risk. We had our 3 year old in the car and the incident was very traumatic as the risk of being rear-ended during and after the failure was significant. Attempt to restart the car resulted in the engine attempting to but failing to turn over. Road side assistance came in about 55 minutes, but we fortunately had family come and take the 3 year old to safety so no longer at risk. The car was towed to a Nissan dealership for service. The service department stated they opened the pan on the engine and large and small pieces of metal were in the pan and just fell out. They said the engine suffered a total failure. We do not feel safe in this car any longer even if they repair it. This is the exact issue being investigated, NHTSA Action Number [XXX]: - Complete loss of motive power due to engine failure. Nissan knows about it yet they have not made the effort to recall the vehicle.

| Mar 2024 | SEATS | The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated after shifting into drive and driving at low speeds, the front driver’s side seat unintendedly reclined backwards. The vehicle was taken to the same dealer three times, where the computer programming was reset. Additionally, the dealer test drove the vehicle for approximately 400 miles but was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 5,288. | Crash: No Fire: No | 5,288 |
| Mar 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | The 2023 Nissan Rogue we have as a lease with 9,000 miles on it. 10 minutes after driving it and going on the highway with in 1 minutes the engine abruptly started knocking and stuttering and immediate loss of motive power. Fortunately the car was in the left most lane and an exist was able to enter the exit ramp but the vehicle started sputtering and stalled and would not restart. Restart attempts resulted in engine stuttering and it the engine shutting off. We think this is the exact symptoms as described in PE23023 with these Nissan engine failures. Reporting since this should be recalled for safty and because we had a 3 year old child in the card and we fear that this could have caused risk of death by loss of motive power on the highway and if the car was in the fast or middle lanes could have resulted very high risk situation of a car with no power stuck on the highway in rush hour. I'm thankful my family is OK but this failure was a close call that could have caused a chain of accidents on the highway with possible loss of life. There were no warning indications displayed by the before the incident occurred, it was extremely sudden. After car stalled attempts to restart showed maintenance required and what appear to have been several unclear messages. battery charge was checked by tow truck and attempts to start with assisted power from additional battery made no change, the engine could not remain running it turned over and quickly sputtered and stalled and failed. The car is now at the dealership being looked at but we wanted to report this due to the severity of the issue and how it occurred, especially after reading that Nissan is aware of this particular issue as described in PE23023. I would recommend a recall as this is not a safe vehicle. Out family will no longer use this car ever again for our safety and the safety of our young child. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Purchased a 2023 Nissan Rogue in May 2023 with less than 10 miles on it. Shortly after purchase myself and my family noticed the smell of gas fumes in the cabin, which I initially ignored. I took the car back to the dealership in August 2023 at 4,700 miles due to the noxious fumes/smell. The car’s PCV valve was replaced for the first time. I again took the vehicle into the dealership in December 2023 at 12,900 miles due to the extremely strong smell of gas fumes coming into the cabin but also radiating throughout my entire garage. These fumes burn my eyes, throat, make me nauseous, and cause headaches. My heated garage has an open flame heater and I became worried that the potentially uncombusted gas products leaking into the air could cause an explosion or fire. The dealership replaced my PCV hose a second time, but this did not solve the issue. I returned to dealership in February 2024 at 15,000 miles for persistent gas fumes in the cabin and radiating throughout my garage. There was nothing wrong with my PCV hose and the PCV hoses were on “back order”. Nothing was done to my car other than “wash off the engine bay to try to get rid of the smell”. Nissan was unable to resolve the issue or produce any viable solutions, they returned my car to me the next day and after driving it home from work and parking it in my garage, the noxious gas/odor was still strongly present and I was told by family that my clothes smell like gasoline/oil fumes. I am afraid for my health and safety while driving this vehicle. I do not feel that Nissan has adequately addressed this issue and continues to ignore it without producing viable solutions. It appears to me that there is likely a defect in the engineering/manufacturing of this vehicle and intrinsic faults within the engine and its components. I believe that if action is not taken by Nissan or governmental regulatory bodies, consumers will experience serious health and safety consequences. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Forward driving aids disabled, front sensor blocked, malfunction Issue confirmed by dealer 3 sensors replaced Problem continues | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | VISIBILITY | The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rouge. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the rear windshield exploded. The vehicle was driven to the residence. The vehicle was diagnosed by a Safelite Auto Glass technician, who observed two holes in the windshield where the defroster connections were on the windshield. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 6,800. | Crash: No Fire: No | 6,800 |
| Feb 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Bought a new 2023 Nissan Rogue last week with 8 miles on it. Drove the vehicle on a 12 hour trip. Filled up the gas tank and gasoline smells were terrible inside the vehicle. Went on the internet to research this and found there are many who have this problem and Nissan is doing NOTHING to fix it. To make matters worse, it appears that John Deery Motors, Cedar Falls, Iowa just committed "Consumer Fraud"..........they knew that this problem existed and they continue to sell the vehicles WITHOUT telling the consumer. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | ENGINE | This has been a big safety issue for my wife and 10 month old daughter. Randomly while driving on highway or in residential roads, our 2023 nissan rogue will start revving hard. The rpm shoots up to around 5000 and the engine starts to lose power resulting in rapid de-acceleration. As of recent, my wife would have to restart the car to go back to normal functioning mode. This also almost caused her accidents on multiple occasions. We contacted Nissan, opened a case, and they refused to repurchase it or replace it. We are stuck with this car hoping nothing bad happens. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Feb 2024 | ENGINE | I was driving on the interstate with heavy traffic with family in the car. The car engine suddenly lost power and suddenly started making a metal on metal banging noise. The check engine light didn't come on for a few minutes after but it was obvious something was wrong. We were able to get over to the side of the road a few feet out of traffic. We had it towed to the Nissan dealer. We were told it was an issue with the engine block/cylinder #2 failed. This is a 2023 3 cylinder Rogue that has been maintained properly. There was no warning at all. The engine light did not come on until well after the engine failed. We were told an "Nissan Investigator" has to come inspect our car?? | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | The car often emits a strong gasoline odor. When I enter my garage, and the doors are closed, I often smell a strong odor of gas coming from the car. On occasion I have turned on the fan for the heater and I get the odor of gasoline inside the cabin of the car. There have been no visible leaks that I can see but I am very concerned about breathing these fumes and about the risk of a fire. This issue has been going on for at least two months. I called the dealer and they advised they are aware of an issue but stated there are no recalls and nothing they can do at this time. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Since purchasing the vehicle Dec. 26 2023 there have been a handful of times that the forward collision light comes on and blinks. About the 4th or 5th time this happened, the vehicle also applied the brakes. Slowing me from about 60 mph to about 40 mph rather quickly. Luckily at the time of night this happened there was no traffic around me. It took me a couple of seconds to realize what had happened and to push on the accelerator to regain speed. While the light is blinking my cruise control is disabled. I'm not really sure what else may or may not be disabled but a car that brakes at will scares the hell out of me. I won't let anyone else drive it and if I see other Nissans on the road I stay away from them. I have the 1st of what I feel will be many repair appointments scheduled for Friday February 9th. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | ENGINE | Nissan installed plastic oil plugs which when reinstalled can fail. This despite the fact the entire oil pan is aluminum. This can occur after the 2 or 3rd oil change causing the car to lose the plug, overheat due to oil loss or have to be towed because plug falls out or becomes easily stripped. Many place such as Jiffy Lube will refuse to service the cars because they may require a tow to the dealer. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2024 | POWER TRAIN | The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that upon shifting the vehicle into park and releasing the brake pedal, the vehicle automatically shifted out of park, back into drive, and lunged forward. As a result, the vehicle lurched through the garage wall and into the interior of the home, causing significant damages. The air bags did not deploy. Medical attention was not required. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure however, testing was ongoing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 1,500. | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,500 |
| Jan 2024 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Two repairs unsuccessful’ Warnings and codes of malfunctioning Brakes applied for no reason while I was driving. There was nothing blocking the sensor. No bad weather. No pedestrians. No traffic. They applied. The car stopped wouldn’t move. I received a malfunctioning warning. It went into team Nissan 12/23 ( where it was purchased new 12/23) .They said it was repaired at that first visit for it. Malfunction warnings started again. It was brought back to team Nissan where they told me it’s malfunctioning, computer read codes for malfunction auto brake feature. Nissan service said sensor needs to be replaced but the part is backordered with NO eta. Said a month to a year or more. Sent me on my way. My children ride in this vehicle. I was told they won’t disconnect it because it’s a “safety feature” even if it’s braking on its own for no reason. They didn’t care that there are kids in the vehicle. Nissans consumer affairs is also little help! I’ve told them endless times our safety is at risk, myself annd my two children, and they don’t care. They applied for a buy back and said I’ll have to wait a month to hear but it’s not a guarantee and likely won’t happen and I don’t have to drive it if I don’t want to. What should I do for a vehicle? This is a new vehicle and it’s NOT SAFE! It’s applied the brakes while I’m driving. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
