I was driving on the highway when all of a sudden, the car started to vibrate roughly and make this loud grinding noise. Speed was instantly reduced down to 40 MPH. I heard a loud bell sound and then an error message appeared on the dashboard. It said, " ENGINE MALFUNCTION POWER REDUCED SERVICE NOW. The accelerator was un responsive. The car immediately went from 70MPH to "limp mode." VERY SCARY! I had to immediately pull over to the right before being rear ended by cars coming up behind me.

I purchased a 2023 Nissan Rogue on XXX, from Go Indy Autos in [XXX]. On XXX, while driving on the highway, the vehicle suddenly lost acceleration and warning/check-engine lights illuminated. Concerned for my safety, I had it towed to Metro Nissan on XXX. I was informed that three recalls were open, and recall-related repairs were performed. I picked up the vehicle on XXX On XXX, the same problem occurred again while driving on the highway. The vehicle lost acceleration and struggled to maintain speed, creating a dangerous situation in traffic. I managed to reach DeFouw Nissan in [XXX], but the service department was closed. The vehicle was subsequently inspected by DeFouw Nissan, where technicians reproduced the problem: the vehicle entered limp mode and would not accelerate properly. Diagnostic code P0196 (engine oil temperature sensor) was documented. DeFouw's findings were consistent with the issues previously addressed at Metro Nissan. Both Nissan dealerships inspected the vehicle, and the problem required additional diagnostic work and repairs authorized under Nissan's warranty. The vehicle remained out of service for approximately three weeks and was not returned to me until XXX. The sudden loss of acceleration at highway speeds placed my life and the safety of other motorists at risk by preventing me from maintaining speed and responding safely to traffic. This occurred twice within days, including once shortly after recall-related repairs, leaving me concerned that the vehicle could fail again while driving. The manufacturer, Nissan, was contacted through Consumer Affairs (Case #XXX). Nissan reviewed the situation but denied my buyback request. Although repairs were completed, the repeated failures and safety risks remain serious concerns. The vehicle and service records are available for inspection upon request.

While driving my 2023 Nissan Rogue at highway speeds, the vehicle suffered a sudden, catastrophic loss of motive power without warning. The engine completely failed and would not restart, leaving me stranded on a live highway and nearly causing a major multi-vehicle accident. The vehicle had to be towed directly from the highway to a Nissan dealership. This failure is directly related to the federal safety agency Campaign Number 26V‑080 (Nissan Recall R25E2) for engine bearing failure and lubrication degradation. The sudden loss of acceleration at high speed created an immediate and extreme crash hazard."

My engine light randomly came on with a bunch of other things and my car lost power in acceleration and can barely maintain a speed of 50 mph. Code P0196 popped up and I wanna know if it’s the sensor or the water valve. We brought the car in 3 times to a Nissan dealership and they still haven’t fixed it.

On XXX at approx 1:29 PM, I was driving my 2023 Nissan Rogue (purchased new XXX Chapman Nissan Philadelphia) on [XXX] with my family including 2 young children and my brother-in- law, heading to [XXX]. At highway speed (~65 mph), "Service CVT Power Reduced" warning appeared, complete loss of acceleration. I had to press accelerator to floor to avoid crash. I managed to drive approx 1 mile to emergency stop at [XXX] Fenimore Cooper Service Area, [XXX]. My family with 2 young children was terrified, we had to stop and rest in service area. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED FATAL CRASH - Trucks behind me at 70 mph, no power, no way to accelerate. If I could not reach service area, we would have been rear-ended at high speed with 2 children in car.

I am filing this complaint regarding Nissan's handling of an open safety recall involving my vehicle and the subsequent engine failure. Nissan issued Recall 26V080 concerning an engine-related defect that can cause engine oil breakdown, bearing damage/seizure, engine damage, and loss of motive power. My vehicle developed the red oil warning light, check-engine light, and reduced engine power before the engine failed. The vehicle also had dark oil and sludge in the engine. The dealership is now attributing the engine failure to alleged lack of maintenance and has denied the engine warranty claim. This is disputed. The vehicle received oil changes at an independent repair facility, and I provided Nissan with receipts documenting the maintenance. The dealership originally relied on the absence of Carfax entries to claim that the oil changes had not occurred. The dealership inspected the vehicle and submitted photographs and a physical sludge sample to Nissan's warranty department. I was told that Nissan's warranty department responded approximately three days later. No Nissan warranty technician or field representative physically inspected my vehicle before the determination was made. Nissan Consumer Affairs told me that the dealership's warranty department made the determination and that they would not disclose what information was submitted or what the sludge sample established. I dispute the conclusion that maintenance caused the engine failure. The presence of sludge does not, by itself, establish what caused the sludge. Nissan's own recall documentation identifies oil breakdown as part of the defect's failure mechanism. I have not been provided with evidence explaining how Nissan distinguished maintenance-related oil degradation from the recalled defect or how it ruled out the recalled defect as a cause or contributing factor. I was also told that the recall cannot be performed because my engine is no longer operational and that I would have to obtain another

The buttons on the steering wheel that set the cruise control stick and so do the buttons that turn the safety features on and off.
