2023 Nissan Rogue Engine

Abnormal engine noise and acceleration hesitation issues repaired.

Engine malfunction at approximately 71,000 miles. Diagnosed by Nissan dealer and was told that engine is not repairable and must be replaced.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact recently purchased the vehicle. When the vehicle was purchased, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact brought the issue to the attention of the dealer and was informed that the warning light was illuminated due to a sensor issue. 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 local dealer was contacted. 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 issue. The failure mileage was approximately 71,630.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic for a routine oil change and was informed that the oil pan drain plug was made of metal; however, the oil pan threads were made of plastic. As a result, oil was leaking from the oil pan due to the threads being stripped. The contact was referred to the dealer who acknowledged the failure and agreed to replace to oil pan under warranty; however, the oil pan was replaced with another oil pan with the same issue. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was 19,990.

I'm seeking reimbursement for purchase of new oil pan, $618.99 plus tax. From further investigating, the main issue is Nissan chose to use plastic oil pans in this vehicle. I took my vehicle to Walmart for oil change and company would not complete due to they reporting previous issues with Nissan Rogue oil system. They told me there was a recall. I called Carmax, place of purchase, and was told no recalls. I called Nissan dealership and was told no recalls. I then took my vehicles to Suns Auto and reported what was told to me by Walmart. Suns Auto said soon as they touched the oil plug it exploded off and they were unable to replace. This caused all of the oil to drain out annd therefore making car undriveable. At that point, if I wanted to drive my vehicle, I had to pay for replacing oil pan which was $618.99. I've been trying to get some type of compensation from all mentioned above but no one is taking responsibility. Neither would compensate or work with me on minimizing my out of pocket cost. I hope you understand my dilemma and assist. Very disappointed, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Our 2023 Nissan Rogue with only 15,000 miles suffered complete engine failure (engine seized) driving on busy [XXX] passing through Baltimore. The safety of myself and my family was put at risk, and if we hadn't been in the left lane (allowing rapid access to the breakdown lane) we would have been in a multi-car pile-up going at high speeds. Afterward, my safety was at risk waiting for 5h on the busy highway waiting for a tow truck. There was a slightly rough engine sound just 15-30 minutes prior to the engine seizure, but no warning messages. The only message that appeared was "Engine Failure" at the moment the engine seized. The car was towed to the local Firestone Service station where they confirmed engine seizure with normal oil levels. We do not know if the oil had been compromised by infusion of gasoline (as we have now discovered is a problem with the Nissan Rogue engine). The car was subsequently towed to Bob Bell Nissan in Baltimore, and they have yet to inform us of their conclusions after 5 days. Route 9 Nissan in Westborough (where we bought the care) did not inform us that this was a potential problem nor that it is under investigation by the NHTSA.

I purchased the car used 3 weeks ago, still under full Nissan Warranty. 10 days ago, while driving, unexpectedly, engine started knocking loudly and then shut down. My granddaughter was driving, and was unable to restart. The Nissan dealer had performed a "health check" of the car a week prior and noted no concerns. And the dealer who sold me the car did the same, before selling it to me. Car was towed to the Nissan dealership. The engine is completely blown and there were metal chips in the oil pan. The Nissan dealership is awaiting authorization from Nissan to replace the engine and any other system impacted. It's going to take weeks to repair.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, there was white smoke entering inside the cabin of the vehicle from the exhaust pipes. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact pulled over to the shoulder of the roadway and exited the vehicle safely. In addition, the vehicle would not crank or restart. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer where it was diagnosed but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 24,850.

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. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

engine "spun a bearing" while driving on highway, car began shaking and was very unresponsive. This is the 1.5l, turbo 3 cylinder engine that appears to have had reported issues before. Would like to have documented in case of future recall or class action lawsuit.

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.

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.

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.

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??

My car was purchased in June 2023 and currently has 2,785 miles. I turned my car on and the engine light came on. As I was driving, it was hard to accelerate and my car was not driving properly. I received an email from Nissan Connect stating: Hi [XXX] , Your Rogue's engine may have an emission control system malfunction. If the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is blinking, you may have a misfire or other component malfunction. To reduce or avoid emission control system damage: Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH (72 km/h). Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration. Avoid steep uphill grades. If possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed. I took my car to the Nissan dealer, and they said the engine failed. They don’t know how long it will take to repair.

I SMELL A GAS ODOR INSIDE OF MY CLOSE GARAGE AND INSIDE THE CABIN OF MY VEHICLE. I OBSERVED THIS SMELL TODAY. MY VEHICLE 5400 MILES ON IT.

As I was accelerating to merge onto the toll way from 45 mph to 70 mph, I switched to sports mode and reached almost 74 mph. At that point white smoke started coming from the exhaust and the engine started to severely knock. After a few minutes the check engine, oil and high temperature lights came on, on the dash. The vehicle indicated that I pull over and stopped driving. After towing into the dealership, I was told the engine and turbo system had to be changed. After 2 business days I was informed the engine is on back order and I have been on a loaner for a month as of this report. I escalated the issue to Nissan but I have not got any resolution yet. I drove the vehicle for around 12000 miles for since April this year. Glad it is still under warranty. I asked for a replacement vehicle but nissan said it is not an option and I will have to deal with the base model loaner which is not what I purchased(SV with all upgrades). Any assistance to resolve my situation would be greatly appreciated.

Vehicle just turned 11,000 miles. As I was accelerating up a hill, the RPM’s were extremely high and then I heard an awful noise in the engine. The car immediately shut down and overheated. It was determined the turbo chip blew apart causing catastrophic damage to the engine. I ended up needing to hire a lemon law attorney and Nissan bought the vehicle back from me. Nissan refused to compensate me for any inconveniences I incurred during the time. I had to pay out of pocket for a tow truck to come get the vehicle off the road because I was stuck on a dangerous corner and the police officers said the car needed to be moved ASAP. I had a trip planned with the vehicle in 2 weeks and ended up having to buy plane tickets instead because the loaner vehicle I had to fight the dealership for said the loaner couldn’t leave New York State. It took me a week to fight the dealership to give me a loaner vehicle. Nissan corporate was terrible to deal with. When I went to turn the vehicle in for the buy back process, the dealership told me they are up to 4 vehicles with the same issue now. It’s the new engine in the 2023 Nissans. This needs to be looked into and Nissan needs to be held accountable.

I was stop at a light and I turned off the radio is here when I noticed my engine shut off. I had to place the vehicle on park to start the vehicle again, this has happen twice already. I am concerned with this issue.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the "Emissions Leak" message was displayed, and the contact heard an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact also stated that the failure occurred immediately after having the A/C module replaced by the dealer. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, who diagnosed a failure with unknown clamps within the engine compartment. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 100.

At about 17900 miles on my 2023 Rogue I got a engine malfunction warning the vehicle speed was reduced to 10pm on the freeway. Luckily I was able to pull over immediately. I had it towed to the Nissan dealer. They informed me it was a foot pedal issue and said the car was fixed. I drove it home fine however the following day the vehicle engine started to smoke and there was smoke coming out of the exhaust. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership and it needs a new engine and turbo. They are trying not to assume responsibility saying lack of maintenance. I had the full service done literally 3 weeks before the incident. There seems to be several people dealing with the same issue.

Cabin smells strongly of gasoline. Gives us major headaches and sick feeling when inside car. Dealer has car now, says smell is strong and oil dipstick smells of gasoline. No warning of problem. Car is new, under 3000 miles.

On May 10, 2023 my 2023 Nissan Rogue with 16,633 miles on it suffered an engine malfunction and completely stalled unexpectedly on an off-ramp of State Route 28. There were no warning lights or indicators that flashed. My car would not restart. If this would have happened minutes if not seconds sooner while I was on the highway, no vehicle behind me would have been able to stop and someone would have been seriously injured. It was later determined the engine completely seized due to metal shavings being that were found in it. The engine was replaced under warranty at a dealership but given the newness of my car and the fact that I drive more miles to work and back than most people, I worry that this could happen to other 2023 Nissan Rogues that have not been driven that much. A cause was never relayed to me as to what happened. I asked for various information from the dealership in regards to diagnostic reports, daily work logs and so on. I received only a 3 page invoice with no listing of specific diagnostics that were completed on my car. I am driving a car that could suffer the same malfunction and the dealership did not seem the least bit concerned about the potentional safety hazard this situation could have created. I was told by the dealership that the new technology had not been fully tested and this was a risk of buying a brand new car. I understand minor issues with a new car but metal shavings in an engine is not minor. I am not sure if the engine is available for inspection.
