Complete loss of motive power due to engine failureOpened December 13, 2023, closed July 18, 2025

On December 13, 2023, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE23-023 to investigate allegations of engine failures leading to loss of motive power in model year (MY) 2021-2023 Nissan Rogue; MY 2019-2021 Nissan Altima; and MY 2019-2021 Infiniti QX50 vehicles. At that time, ODI had received 6 Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQ) and multiple early warning reports, with consumers reporting engine knocking noises accompanied by a loss of engine power while driving. The investigation identified bearing failures in certain vehicles equipped with the subject 3-cylinder 1.5L or 4-cylinder 2.0L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. ODI also identified early warning reports describing thermal incidents that occurred immediately after the vehicle suffered a catastrophic engine failure. The failures were the result of a manufacturing defect in specific engine bearings (main, A-, C-, and L-link) or other engine components that may cause engine damage and potentially lead to engine failure. Engine failure can result in a loss of motive power event that can increase the risk of a crash. Engine failure might also result in a fire if internal components detach and impact the engine block creating a hole that allows engine oil to reach hot surfaces. In its April 2024, May 2024, and June 2025 responses to ODI’s information requests, Nissan provided 998 customer reports (including complaints, field reports, and legal claims) and 1,107 warranty claims related to the alleged defect. When combining ODI and manufacturer report data, there are 1,878 unique VINs that have experienced failures across all subject vehicles. In one of the early warning reports, ODI identified an incident involving a 2022 Infiniti QX55 that resulted in an engine fire following an alleged engine failure. The 2022 Infiniti QX55 was not included in the scope of this investigation but the vehicle model shares the same 4-cylinder 2.0L variable compression turbo engine. Based on the information included with the early warning report, the fire can be directly related to the alleged defect.  A further review of ODI and manufacturer data, identified 12 allegations of engine compartment fires in subject vehicles; three were confirmed as directly related to the engine failure, and nine reports described an under-hood fire that occurred following a loss of power event. Additionally, ODI identified multiple reports describing an engine block crack or hole surrounded by oil residue following an engine failure. On June 27, 2025, Nissan submitted recall 25V‑437 involving 443,899 MY 2021-2023 Nissan Rogue, MY 2019-2021 Nissan Altima; MY 2019-2021 Infiniti QX50; and 2022 Infiniti QX55 vehicles. The recall remedy provides the dealer instructions to inspect the engine oil pan for the presence of specific metal debris. For customers with the 3-cylinder 1.5L VC-Turbo engine, if no debris is detected during the inspection, dealers will replace the oil pan gasket, engine oil, and reprogram the vehicle’s Engine Control Module (ECM). For customers with the 4-cylinder 2.0L VC-Turbo engine, if no debris is detected, dealers will replace the engine oil. In the case where specific debris is detected and confirmed by Nissan Powertrain Call Center, dealers will be instructed to replace the engine. In addition, Nissan will extend the vehicle warranty to 10 years and 120,000 miles for the recall subject vehicle population after the dealer performs the inspection. Nissan has implemented multiple corrective actions to address the identified manufacturing defects of certain engine block internal components. In view of the recall action (25V437) taken by Nissan, ODI is closing this Preliminary Evaluation. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the ODI reports cited in the Opening Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to

This is a complaint that Nissan failed to honor the safety recall on my 2022 Nissan Rogue.The safety recall is Part 573 Safety recall report 26V080. The recall covers the bearing failure that can lead to engine failure. The engine in my Nissan failed at about 23,985 miles. I have a statement from the service manager at the local dealership were it was serviced stating the the engine failure was inline with the recall. I spoke with Nissan and the BBB about this issue and got denied reimbursement for the cost of the engine. The engine was bought from and installed by Nissan. When the engine blew my brother in law was driving on the highway. Thankfully no one was hurt as he was able to get the car off the road.

An authorized Nissan franchise executed an active safety recall campaign on my vehicle regarding coolant loss. Technicians failed to secure critical powertrain components during reassembly. Three days post-delivery, a major engine bolt fell out on the highway and the chassis began vibrating violently. A certified military base auto hobby shop inspection officially grounded the vehicle, finding a broken rear motor mount bracket, unfastened structural bolts, and a completely disconnected transmission/engine hose left by the franchise. This constitutes a severe post-recall safety failure that actively endangered my family on public roads.

The vehicle has experienced repeated sudden loss of engine power and inability to accelerate, accompanied by the dashboard warning “Power Reduced, Engine Malfunction, Service Now.” After seven incidents since 2022, a Nissan dealership performed diagnostics on while the warning remained displayed and informed me that an EGR-related component needed replacement. The exact component and diagnostic findings should be confirmed by the dealership. The vehicle is currently at or has been serviced by the Nissan dealership, and service records and diagnostic findings may be available upon request. 2.my Nissan Rogue SL has suddenly lost power seven times while I was driving, including on highways at approximately 55 mph. During these incidents, the vehicle became unable to accelerate, creating a serious risk of collision with surrounding traffic. The most recent incident occurred on XXX while I was transporting both of my children. My speed dropped to zero, and I had to pull over to avoid a collision. Fortunately, no accident has occurred, but these repeated failures have placed my children, myself, and other motorists at risk. 3.Yes.I kept the vehicle running for approximately four hours while waiting for a tow truck so the dashboard warning would remain displayed. When the vehicle arrived at the Nissan dealership, the warning was still present, allowing technicians to perform diagnostics.

On [XXX], my 2022 Nissan Rogue (1.5L VC-Turbo, about 66,000 miles) suddenly lost power while being driven near Lehighton, PA. The check engine light came on, the vehicle would not respond to the accelerator, the oil pressure warning came on, and the engine stalled. We had to get to the side of the road with no power, which put us and surrounding traffic at risk. The vehicle could not be driven and was towed 128 miles to a Nissan dealer. The Nissan dealer confirmed the failure. Their master technician found coolant getting past the valves into the engine cylinders. Nissan then stated that the EGR cooler failed, allowing coolant into the engine and causing it to overheat. The engine must be replaced. Nissan declined to cover the repair, stating the EGR cooler is not covered under its extended engine warranty. A third-party inspector for the vehicle’s service contract is expected to examine the vehicle. The dealer has been asked to retain the failed EGR cooler for inspection. This vehicle is included in recall 25V‑437 (engine bearings). The recall remedy (Nissan campaign R25D1: ECM reprogram and engine check) was completed by a Nissan dealer on [XXX], at about 56,500 miles, and the engine was reported in good condition. The engine failed about 9,500 miles later. Prior warnings: Sluggish throttle reponse about 30 miles before total failure. The engine oil level was full, and the oil had been changed shortly before the trip. Other owners have reported similar EGR cooler failures on 2022 Rogues leading to coolant intrusion, overheating, and engine failure. I believe the EGR cooler on the 1.5L VC-Turbo engine can fail internally and cause a sudden loss of motive power, and it should be investigated.

I was having performance issues and a slow loss of coolant so I took my car up to the dealership to run a diagnostics. It was confirmed to be due to the defect of the engine on my vehicle and all was replaced on Nissan. Now the dealership will not release my car to me after repairs have been completed because they are trying to tell me I am responsible for the diagnostics fee because for some reason they put it in under standard and not recall. And they refuse to change the ticket and resubmit and are unlawfully illegally withholding my vehicle from me until it is paid. I do not have the money to pay for something I am not responsible for and I growing extremely frustrated

The EGR Cooler failed and caused a significant coolant leak into my engine. Causing sudden engine failure while driving. I experienced sudden power loss, loss of throttle control due to the motor being placed in the "safety mode" due to the engine coding, and was only able to drive on the shoulder of the road at ~25MPH, causing traffic disruptions until I was able to safely exit the roadway. I was able to get the vehicle diagnosed by Nissan, it resulted in over $10000 of repairs to fix the damage. The vehicle has less than 80000 miles and is still covered under extended warranty. However, Nissan rejected the repair claim due to it being the EGR cooler that failed.

The Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) system began malfunctioning immediately after service for Recall R25A8 in March. Initial symptoms included severe hesitation, shuddering, and erratic shifting, as well as an occasional CVT light that would turn on and off. I expressed these concerns to the dealership, but the issue was not acted on because they initially could not reproduce or confirm the symptoms during prior visits. Recently, the dealership replicated the issue and confirmed a complete transmission failure requiring a full replacement. The vehicle and failed component are available for inspection upon request. The vehicle is only 4 years old, and research shows this CVT failure is a widespread issue among Nissan vehicles. The sudden loss of acceleration and erratic shifting created a safety hazard during highway merging and navigating busy intersections, placing occupants and surrounding traffic at risk of a rear-end collision.
