| Mar 2026 | ENGINE | My 2023 Nissan Rogue experienced engine problems beginning in August 2025. The vehicle started having difficulty starting and the engine was not operating normally. In September 2025 the engine completely failed and the vehicle became inoperable. Because the engine failure required a major repair that I could not afford, the vehicle was eventually repossessed. I later discovered that my VIN ([XXX]) is associated with an engine-related recall involving bearing failure and engine damage risk. The recall description matches the exact mechanical problem my vehicle experienced before the recall was announced. I am submitting this complaint to report that the engine failure occurred prior to the recall notice. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Mar 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | On Friday my car wouldn’t start. I put in a request for AAA to come out and do a battery test. The technician comes out and hooks up my battery to the portable box and it still didn’t have the power to crank the car. The car turned on and was clicking it didn’t have enough power to actually start the car. My dad came and gave me a jump saturday morning, and said he thinks I needed a new battery. I drove to advanced auto by my house had them perform a battery test and the told me the battery was complete shot. I had to spend $300 on a new battery. After I left there and got onto rt 70, The thermostat in the corner of the dash, the needle started moving up more towards the hot once I accelerated to 50 mph. The way home was a night mare as the car started to lose power, check engine light came on then the check oil light. At this point my car is jerking across the intersection where I had to put on my hazards and barely made it home. It’s weird this all happened within a day and so sudden. I got notification about the recalls and was thinking this is all related. Monday morning 3/3 I get the car towed to Nissan on rt 37, where the told me I needed a engine but not due from the recall. the recall was for oil temp and the car has a coolant leak that leaked on the engine and I would have to pay out of pocket. I asked for the report they haven’t sent anything over yet. I bought that car from carvana last march on the 17th, so it hasn’t been a year and they told me i’m out of my warranty’s at 71 thousand miles. I feel so defeated as i’m paying 500 a month for this is car and haven’t had it for a year. I’m reaching out to file a complaint or to see if there’s anything I can do on my end. with the coolant leak, I’ve never had any issues with the car prior as it drove regularly and never saw any residue on the ground. Nissan representative said she’s working with her manager to see if they can do a good will. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Feb 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I was driving my vehicle after dropping my son off at school and my back windshield exploded without warning. I was unsure what to do and there was nowhere to pull over. I drove home and called my local Nissan dealer who I was leasing the vehicle from and they said the repair would not be covered.

| Feb 2026 | ENGINE | My 2023 Nissan Rogue SV engine failed on February 8, 2026. It is currently not on the recall list, but has the same engine as on the recall list. I have contacted Nissan multiple times with no help. My Nissan has 108000 miles and I should have a documented case open with Nissan now. Nissan should repair my engine. I spent $24000 on this vehicle one year ago. This is unacceptable. The vehicle is sitting at the shop with cylinder three filling up with fluid. The Rogue never showed any check engine lights or anything. It just failed. It has the 1.5 liter 3 cylinder turbo engine. The vehicle started shaking. I parked the vehicle then it would not start back. Had it towed to shop to diagnose issue. They confirmed castastropic engine failure. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | STEERING,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | While making a left turn at approximately 10 mph in light snow conditions, braking became severely impaired with pedal pressure present but vehicle failing to decelerate, and steering became significantly resistant and insufficient to redirect the vehicle away from the obstacle. Vehicle continued toward a tree despite brake pedal input and steering input away from the tree. Slippery road warning light activated before and during the incident. Multiple additional warning lights activated during and after impact. Airbags did not deploy despite collision. Post-incident, steering required significant opposite steering input to drive straight for approximately 1.7 miles to reach a safe parking location, consistent with front-end damage affecting steering alignment. Prior to this incident, I experienced multiple separate occasions where braking felt abnormal and insufficient in conditions requiring higher traction including rain and snow. I verbally reported this concern once to an authorized Nissan dealer in December 2025 and was told this was normal AEB system behavior. No documentation was created for this verbal complaint. Vehicle had a prior manufacturer recall performed at an authorized Nissan dealer on June 1, 2024 reconfiguring the IPDM/USM — the module controlling electronic steering column lock and CAN bus safety system communications. At that same visit, the Nissan technician documented abnormally dirty brake fluid at only 14,410 miles on this 2023 vehicle. A second manufacturer recall reprogramming the ECM was performed at an authorized Nissan dealer on December 4, 2025, approximately two months before this incident. The vehicle is available for inspection. No independent or dealer post-incident inspection has occurred. An insurance claim has been opened. Incident occurred within the 3-year/36,000-mile manufacturer warranty period at under 31,000 miles. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Injuries: 1 | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | On, January 16, 2026, the rear windshield spontaneously exploded as we were entering our vehicle | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Upon entering the vehicle and shutting the driver side door to drive home the back windshield imploded without any warning. The hatch was not used that day and with the shutting of the drivers side door the rear windshield made a popping noise and caved in completely on itself all over the back of my vehicle before the vehicle was even turned on. There were no previous cracks, no signs of wear and the vehicle was only a year old bought brand new. We are currently over the miles on the warranty (barely) and Nissan Corporate advised to take it to a local dealership and the local dealership told me I had to call corporate. No one could explain why this would or could happen to the vehicle. The weather was not frigid nor hot at the time of this event. Nissan is not taking responsibility for a faulty product even after I addressed the current class action lawsuit other Nissan Rogue owners have put up against them for the same issue. Luckily my toddler son was not in the vehicle at the time that this happened in his carseat or he would have ended up with the potential of shatter glass landing on him. Additionally if I was driving at the time that is a huge risk of distraction, crashing, and the mess of debris. There is was no warning, no previous damage, and nothing that anyone has offered to do to help. The quote to get the rear windshield replaced will have to be paid completely out of pocket. I suspect that due to mass producing these vehicles they did not take the time to make sure proper safety measure have taken place. Time stamped photos and a case with Nissan Corporate have been put into place. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | The car lost power when I got in the vehicle, I had to walk to my daughters school to pick her up. I waited for Geico to give me a jump start. When I received a jump start, the system came up malfunctioned, and could not be driven.

| Feb 2026 | ENGINE | I took my car to a Nissan Dealership to remedy recall 25V437. All they did was test drive it and reprogram the ECM. They never even looked at the engine oil per their own remedy instructions.This is not satisfactory and is out of process with the procedure described by the NHTSA. Catastrophic engine failure can occur due to this issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | ENGINE | 1) My 2023 Nissan Rogue experienced a catastrophic engine failure, and it is available for inspection. 2) The safety of myself and my grandchild was at risk when this happened while I was driving the vehicle. 3) We had the vehicle towed to the Nissan dealership where we purchased the vehicle. Within a very short period of time, we received a call from the dealership stating the head gaskets were blown and would require a complete engine replacement. 4) The vehicle has been inspected by a Nissan service department. My vehicle is a part of a recall for the1.5L VC-Turbo engine family. The service department said their protocol was to read the ECM, and if it did not indicate bearing failure, the recall did not apply. 5) Prior to engine failure, the vehicle began running rough. At no point did we receive any overheating warnings, temperature alerts, or coolant system notifications. This began happening about 3 days before the engine stopped working. I will attach below the correspondance between myself and the Nissan service department. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Feb 2026 | ENGINE | The moment it happened I'm cruising at 75 mph, highway humming under the tires, everything normal. Then—without warning—the engine doesn’t just stumble, it fails. A sudden jolt, a surge of noise that doesn’t belong, the power dropping out like someone pulled the plug on the entire vehicle. In a split second, your brain goes from autopilot to full survival mode. My hands tighten on the wheel. My eyes snap to the dash. My mind is already calculating: *Shoulder? Speed? Traffic? What’s behind me?* It’s the kind of moment where you don’t think—you react. And afterward, when the car finally coasts to a stop and the adrenaline drains, you’re left with that hollow, shaky feeling that only comes from a real scare. Why the sounds bother me now I think my reaction now isn’t irrational. It’s your nervous system doing exactly what it’s designed to do after a sudden, dangerous event. When something fails at highway speed, your brain tags it as a threat. So now: - A faint rattle becomes “Is it happening again” - A vibration becomes “What did they miss” - A normal engine note becomes “What if I’m not safe” That’s not weakness. That’s pattern recognition. It’s your brain trying to protect you from a repeat of a moment that could have gone very differently. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
