The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH, the message "Engine Failure, No Power, Service Immediately" was displayed and the vehicle stalled. Moments later, the vehicle restarted, and the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the forward distance sensor had failed which caused the vehicle to stall and the sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 4,200.

| May 2023 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Friday, March 24, 2023 AM: Returned to parked Rogue after an 1.25 hr appt and found the cabin reeking of a fuel smell. No fuel leaks under vehicle to explain smell. Smell dissipated some after driving for 10 mins at low speeds with outside air circulation on. Smell fully left cabin while driving at highway speeds for 15 mins with outside air circulation on. Sunday, March 26, 2023 AM: Returned to parked Rogue after 2 hr Church to find cabin filled with a fuel smell. Again, no leaks noted under vehicle. Drive home decreased the smell at highway speeds with outside air circulation on, but this was after the entire family had already become ill from the smell while driving through town at lower speeds. Stopped at parent's house briefly and left engine running; husband had to turn engine off and roll windows down, as the fuel smell entering the cabin became really strong and was making husband and son ill again. Noted the fuel smell emanating from all around the vehicle for several hours after getting home, with the strongest smells coming from the engine area. Monday, March 27, 2023 AM: Brought vehicle back to dealership, 70+ mile drive, to have their service center look at it due to health and safety concerns. No fuel smell detected when entered vehicle before journey, drove down with recirculated air on, and only detected a faint fuel smell coming from the engine compartment upon arrival at service center. Performed a visual inspection, specific fuel & emissions system exam, complete high pressure fuel system test, fuel leak/odor pinpoint diagnostic. No failed or defective components found. They were "unable to verify the customer's concern of fuel odor at this time." Mfg service bulletin found on issue; no repair options yet. Fuel smell now constant, whether parked or driven. Recirculate air only used. Can't open windows without smell entering. Continued concern for health/safety. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| May 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | My daughter and I we leaving Walmart in Mulberry, FL. We has been there a few hours starting at 10:15 am. We got our nails done and then shopped for a little while. When I got in the car I let it run for about 10 minutes and then left. It was not too hot in the car when we left. We drove less than a mile and we stopped at the light in front of the 7-11 turning onto Shepherd Road. We just missed green light so sat for a couple of minutes. We were joking about spending almost 4 hours at the store. All the sudden it sounds like a bomb went off. We had no idea what happened and as I looked the back window blew out. We waited for light and pulled into Walgreens. The car behind me also followed me in. He asked if we were okay. He said all the sudden glass was hitting his hood. He said nothing hit the car and he had never seen anything like it! I called the dealership and they told me it was an emergency and to come straight over. We headed over and now they are saying they have to talk to corporate. They have never seen this before (not according to internet) and it’s probably going to be my issue. https://www.nissanforums.com/threads/nissan-window-exploded.275392/page-2#post-1739123 | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| May 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS MY NISSAN ROGUE WHILE IN THE IDLING/PARK POSITION WILL GET A BAD GAS FUME SMELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I DID CALL FERRARIO NISSAN IN SAYRE PA AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE SITUATION. THE SERVICE DEPT, PERSONELL TOLD ME THAT IF ITS NOT A CONSTANT SMELL THAT THEY CANNOT REALLY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY TOLD ME TO STOP IN WHEN IT HAPPENS, BUT USUALLY IN JUST A FEW MINUTES WHEN PUTTING IT BACK IN THE DRIVE POSITION THE SMELL WILL GO AWAY. THIS SCARES ME THAT THE ROUGUE MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE OR THE SMELL MAY CAUSE HARM TO ME OR MY GRANDCHILDREN BY BREATHING IT IN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS, THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | There is a strong odor of gasoline outside of the parked vehicle (especially in a garaage or enclosed space) and a milder similar smell inside of the cabin, that can lead to a burning sensation in the nose and throat when driving the vehicle, especially when driving for more than 20-30 mins. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | There is a strong odor of gasoline in the cabin of the vehicle when driving. The gasoline smell is also strong in the front of the car. I cannot park the vehicle in the garage due to the smell. I am afraid of a fire. I contacted Nissan who said they were aware of this issue and said they were investigating, but have no solution. Even though they have been aware of this issue since the 2022 model came out and never contacted me and continued selling the vehicle. I took the car to Mankato Nissan for inspection who verified the odor but said they could not find anything and had no solution. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | After about 1000 miles I started noticing a gasoline smell inside and outside the vehicle. When I return the vehicle to my garage after driving and let it sit for awhile the garage reeks of the smell of gasoline. This smell has been noticed by many other people in and around the vehicle. I brought it to the Nissan dealership. They checked the fuel system for any leaks, found none and sent me home. I have lung issues and this gasoline odor is affecting my breathing when in and near the vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | My 4.5 month old Rogue, with a little over 3000 miles on it, stopped dead from at 55 mph on a highway at night. The battery started but the engine would not engage or start. At the start of the drive the fuel gauge registered about 1/2 tank, but after driving only a relatively short distance, it suddenly went to just above the 'red warning zone' and showed about 157 driving miles left in the tank. I believe that the tank was actually empty and the gauge was faulty, because on a hunch the tow guy added some gas and the car started! I was in danger because I was stranded in the left lane of a highway at night and even with my hazard lights on, cars were barely missing me. One could easily have rammed into me - especially waiting over 2 hours for a tow with my hazars starting to dim - causing injury or even death. The dealer service dept was not able to spot the problem (or reproduce it), and because the computer did not show a code said they had nothing to repair! Upon picking up the car and refilling the tank, the gauge only registered 1/2 a tank, so I scheduled service to replace the fuel gauge. I hope this is the proper fix, but the service dept can't vouch for that. When it went dead, the dash said "engine malfunction". I am terrified of driving this car at night or on a highway!! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2023 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Strong odor of gas both inside and outside the vehicle. Vehicle was taken to dealership for warranty repair and dealership stated there is a known issue with the 2023 Rogue however Nissan does not know what the issue is or how to fix it but they are working on a fix. Over one month later and multiple conversations with consumer affairs they are refusing to fix or replace the car. There are health concerns as we drive a lot and experience headaches and dizziness from the smell as well as the safety concerns as they have no idea what is causing the odor and gasoline is highly flammable. ***Note on the 2nd visit to dealership they were able to duplicate the odor. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2023 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | The 2023 Nissan Rogue which we bought in January 2923 smells of exhaust inside the car while running. We have experienced it when the car was just being started up after being parked and also while driving. It is off and on and hard to replicate for dealer. The exhaust smell is so strong that windows have to be opened and it is still nauseating. The garage smells of gasoline sometimes when the car is parked and off. This is also off and on. We bought this car for college age student to drive and are concerned about health issues from breathing in the exhaust as well as fire concerns. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The vehicle has a very poor low volume horn. Three times I was on a freeway and attempted to blow the horn to warn the driver next to me because they moved into my driving lane and if I did not put on my brakes, it would have caused an accident. The other driver never heard the horn, as compared to my other vehicle I own and other vehicles I owned in the past this horn's sound is like a horn on a child's toy. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2023 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I am the owner of a 2023 Nissan Rogue with 3,500 miles on it. During the last few weeks I have noticed a strong smell of raw gas entering the passenger compartment while driving. It happens with or without the HVAC system working. Sometimes it is stronger than other times. I have opened up the hood and have found no visible leaks. There are also no leaks under the vehicle. I have researched this issue on the internet and have found several sites with similar complaints. There also appears to be a new class-action lawsuit being reviewed about this issue. Many consumers have brought their vehicles into the dealers for this issue with no results. It appears that the situation is under review by NIssan. I urge the NHTSA to look into this matter due to the safety risk to consumers. Thank you | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2023 | ENGINE | Within a week of driving the vehicle, I began to notice a strong gasoline smell when I parked the car. The issue became even more evident when I parked the car in my garage, as the garage would quickly fill with the unmistakable odor of gasoline. The smell is so persistent that it remains in the garage even the following morning. Due to concerns about the accumulation of gas fumes and the potential risk of ignition, I have resorted to parking the car outside. However, the issue extends beyond just parking; when I am stuck in traffic or idling, the gas fumes infiltrate the cabin of the vehicle, producing a strong and overpowering odor. The intensity of the fumes is such that it induces feelings of nausea, and I am deeply concerned about the health and safety implications for both me and my family. Despite being aware of the severity of the situation, I am left with limited options as I do not have an alternative vehicle to use for transportation. In an effort to address this matter, I contacted both the Nissan Dealership where I purchased the vehicle and Nissan Consumer Affairs. Disappointingly, both parties have informed me that there is nothing they can do at this time and that I must wait. I found it particularly disingenuous when the representative from Consumer Affairs referred to the issue as merely a "foul odor," downplaying the seriousness of the matter. I want to emphasize that this is not just a foul odor; it is a clear and hazardous smell of gasoline. I am reporting this issue to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to document my experience, raise awareness of the safety risks, and seek assistance in finding a resolution. The presence of gasoline fumes in and around the vehicle is alarming, and I believe immediate action is necessary to address this matter and ensure the safety of all drivers and passengers of the 2023 Nissan Rogue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2023 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I purchased my 2023 Nissan Rogue SV in Oct of 2022. After a few weeks of parking in the garage I noticed the smell of raw gas in my garage. At about 1000 miles I noticed the smell of raw gas while driving slowly through the neighborhood and while stopped at stop signs and traffic lights. I brought the car back to the Nissan dealership where I purchased it from and explained I was smelling raw gas. The dealership told me there was a break in period and after about 5000 miles I should notice improved gas mileage and the quote "weird" smells should go away. I now have 7,200 miles on the car and the raw gas smell is far worse to the point of causing me headaches and nausea. I cannot park in the garage anymore because it makes even my house smell of gas. I now fear of explosion from gas fumes. I would trade the vehicle for something safer but at this time can not afford to do so. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2023 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | There is a strong smell of gasoline inside the vehicle when driving. There is also the smell of gas coming from the engine when the vehicle is parked in a garage. The dealer stated this is a known problem with the 2023 Rogue but there is no fix to the problem. They just state Nissan is aware of the problem. The smell causes headaches while driving and the fear is it is a fire hazard. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | we were driving west on i26 in nc, when the engine failure light came on, the car bucked and would not go. pulled off road, car did power up but would not go. if this had happened 6 miles later we would have been in constuction with cement barriers on both sides and unable to pull over. semi trucks were going 70 miles an hr and unable to stop. we, along with many other people would have been killed. car was towed to nissan dealership in hendersonville nc. the faulty part was the throttle body in my 2023 nissan rogue with 1400 miles on it. the head mechanic said they just fixed an identical car with same mileage 2 hrs earlier with same problem. also he said they have done this several times before. its been a week now and my car stills sits there because they are unable to find the part. My assumption is they cant get the part because so many cars have failed. now they need to put the same flawed part back on my car to fix it. i am scared to death to drive it. please recall this vehicle asap before many people are killed or hurt. thanks , trying to prevent deaths ,injuries and pain | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2023 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | ️ Warning Alert continues to display on dashboard after several months of recently purchasing my vehicle for “Check position of shift lever”.

| Apr 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | The smell of gas fumes was inside and outside of the car. I took a CO2 blood test and the CO2 levels came back high. The dealership said a recall was coming out soon. The vehicle supposedly was looked over by the dealership service manager. This began shortly after I bought the vehicle. Didn’t know it was an issue until I saw a lawsuit against the company regarding this matter. | Crash: No Fire: No Injuries: 1 Medical attention | Unknown |

| Apr 2023 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I was driving home from work during 5pm rush hour. I was coming up on a stop light going about 30mph and was trying to slowly come to a stop but noticed that my car wasn't slowing down so I tried to brake harder by pushing on the brake pedal but the pedal resisted my foot pressure so I pressed harder on the pedal but the car took over the braking and started to beep the collision warning. I was not in control of the braking system the car would not stop. The car wasnt allowing me to brake. I heard all kinds of beeping from the car as everything happened so fast. I ended up rear ending someone. Max speed was roughly 30mph and air bag did not deploy. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | Unknown |
