2023 Nissan Rogue: check engine light

Filed Nov 9, 2026 · Electrical · WI

I was at a store. I got into start it and a large triangle square appeared and said engine malfunction, I was a very short distance from home and drove there, but the car would only go about 4miles an hour. I then had it towed to the repair shop. They replaced the electronic shifter($1,500) Two days later the same thing happened.Now every time I start the car, I have to lock and unlock the driver door 4 times. The check engine light is on and the car is losing power. I have contacted the local Nissan dealer 3 times and told 3 times they would call me when a loaner vehicle was available, so I could get to work, they have never called and there only response to me is there’s nothing we can do. The car is unsafe and it is causing my mental health significant distress and fear. I don’t know if this is due to the engine bearing recall or not, my commute is very busy and 55-75 mph, and my biggest fear is the car catching fire and someone gets hurt

1. The internal combustion engine assembly failed. Specifically, the variable-compression 1.5L VC-Turbo engine suffered a severe mechanical breakdown in Cylinder #3, resulting in only 5 PSI of compression and a 75-80% air leak due to an intake valve failure. The authorized dealership confirmed that the engine oil is clean, the vehicle has been maintained, and the main bearings are functional (proving this is a premature structural material defect of the powertrain assembly, not owner neglect). Yes, the vehicle and the complete, unaltered engine assembly are fully intact and available for inspection upon request. Location - Authorized Deale 2. The engine failure caused an immediate and sudden loss of motive power while driving on a busy state route. The vehicle lost the ability to maintain speed or accelerate, requiring me to maneuver to the shoulder. A sudden, un-commanded loss of engine power created a risk of being rear-ended and created a safety hazard. 3. The failure has been formally diagnosed and confirmed by an authorized corporate dealership (Lithia Nissan, Clovis, CA). The service department ran advanced engine diagnostics, documenting the 5 PSI compression and 75-80% intake valve leak on Cylinder #3, and explicitly recommended a complete, full engine replacement. Email with notes attached below. 4. Yes. The vehicle and the defective engine components have been physically inspected by the manufactures authorized dealership. (The manufacturer is currently attempting to deny coverage under Recall 26V080 by claiming a single cylinder failed rather than the bearings.) 5. There were no mechanical symptoms, unusual noises, warning lamps, or dashboard messages prior to the incident. The vehicle was operating normally when the engine catastrophically failed. The Check Engine light illuminated simultaneously with the sudden loss of power. After managing to coast the vehicle to the shoulder of the road, Oil Pressure warning lamp came on as the engine stopped.

I am reporting recurring engine warnings on my 2023 Nissan Rogue. On November 2, 2026, an engine malfunction warning appeared, followed by the check-engine light. I also saw a reduced-power warning. On November 6, the engine warning returned when I first started the vehicle and cleared after restarting. The current odometer reading is 65,693 miles. Mike Rezi Nissan Atlanta inspected the vehicle and told me a turbocharger-related component needs replacement. The repair is still pending. I bought the vehicle on October 18, 2025, and was told at the time that the engine recall had already been addressed. I am concerned that the vehicle could lose power in traffic. I am asking the federal safety agency to review whether the recurring warnings and the dealer’s findings may be related to an existing engine recall or to similar safety complaints from other Rogue owners.

I am writing to formally complain about the ongoing mechanical problems with my 2023 Nissan Rogue following maintenance and an oil change performed at a Nissan To Nissan Customer Relations, The check engine light came on. I immediately returned the vehicle to Nissan for inspection. However, I was informed that the problem was not their responsibility. I communicated with the company so many times every time they took my car for days and nothing happened I recorded video an audio for me and my customer while that’s happened and honestly, I cannot drive my car anymore and the company will be responsible if any problem happen. Since then, I have continued experiencing serious problems with my vehicle. Most recently, the vehicle has repeatedly stalled while driving. On one night, it stopped twice while I had passengers in the car. The following day, it stopped twice again, with the most recent incident occurring just minutes before I reported it. These incidents have put my safety, my passengers' safety, and my livelihood at risk. I use this vehicle for my Uber business, and every time it stops working, I lose income and risk putting people's lives in danger. I purchased a Nissan vehicle expecting reliability and safety, not repeated mechanical failures following dealership service. I am requesting the following: 1. A full and independent investigation into the maintenance and repairs performed by Nissan. 2. A technical inspection to determine why the vehicle repeatedly shuts down while driving. 3. A written explanation of the cause of these failures. 4. Reimbursement for any expenses and financial losses resulting from this situation, where applicable. 5. A permanent solution to this problem, not another temporary repair. I have documentation and service records to support my complaint.

On September 27, 2026, at approximately 10:00 a.m., while driving on I-26, the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle rapidly lost power, creating a safety hazard in highway traffic. I was forced to pull onto the shoulder to avoid a potential crash and exit the interstate. The vehicle had approximately 75,929 miles at the time of failure. The vehicle was towed for diagnosis. Firestone Complete Auto Care diagnosed the issue on the same day but could not perform the necessary engine repairs. The vehicle was then towed to Whetzel's Automotive, where a failed engine was diagnosed. The repair required replacement with a remanufactured engine at a total cost exceeding $9,500, including diagnostics, engine purchase, and labor. I believe this sudden engine failure at relatively low mileage presents a significant safety concern.

2023 Nissan Rogue SV Midnight Edition, 1.5L 3-cylinder VC-Turbo. Bought Nissan Certified Pre-Owned 12/11/2024 at 6,843 miles. Recall 25V‑437 (engine bearings, Nissan R25D1) was open on my car and never done before the failure, even though I was at the dealer 1/6/2026 after the remedy came out. On 9/9/2025 at 19,759 miles I told the dealer the car burps, the RPMs drop and it loses power from a stop. They said it was operating as designed. On 7/9/2026 at 29,203 miles I was driving at normal street speed with my mother and my dog in the car. The RPMs surged and the engine ran rough with heavy vibration. I pulled into my parking spot, thick white smoke poured out of the exhaust and a burning wire smell came into the cabin. I got them out. It would not restart. No warning lights at any point. The dealer found coolant in the oil and coolant leaking between the head and block, and replaced the engine, turbo, catalytic converter and 2 sensors under the recall. The new engine kept having problems. 8/12 cylinder 3 misfire before I picked it up. 8/19 check engine light on the freeway. 8/21 limp mode on the street: Engine Malfunction, Power reduced, Service now, and a collision warning message. Code P0303, cylinder 3 injector replaced. Codes set again on the dealer's test drive in heavy traffic and the advisor had to pull over, so all injectors were recalibrated. At least 16 Nissan text alerts and 4 alert emails. 54 days out of service. After that I had a fuel smell in the cabin, loss of power on hills, then engine roughness and a burning rubber smell until I turned it in. Nissan bought it back under the California lemon law on 10/20/2026 at 30,995 miles. Nissan engineers inspected it at the dealer in August. The car now belongs to Nissan, and I do not know what happened to the original engine. Full timeline attached.

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.

I own a 2023 Nissan Rogue with the 1.5L VC Turbo engine. I am reporting an ongoing engine/drivability safety concern involving hesitation, vibration, shuddering/stuttering, abnormal RPM behavior, and trouble accelerating from a stop. On XXX, at about 68,365 miles, a Nissan dealer documented high/fluctuating RPMs and vibration at idle, duplicated the vibration, and performed recall R25D1 by reprogramming the ECM and completing a test drive. On XXX at about 69,410 miles, I returned for continued acceleration problems and vibration. Multiple engine/transmission mounts were replaced, but the symptoms continued. Before another dealer visit in XXX, [XXX] scanned the vehicle after the check-engine light appeared and found P0196, related to engine oil temperature. My Nissan service advisor told me not to disclose that code so Nissan could diagnose the vehicle independently. Nissan then independently found and documented the same P0196 code. Nissan recommended and I paid for repairs including the thermostat assembly, throttle body, and spark plugs after being told they would address my concerns. The dealer’s own repair record states the shuddering was reduced but still present. I continue to experience hesitation, vibration, shuddering/stuttering, and abnormal RPM behavior. I also continue to receive an engine oil service message even after an oil change and reset. My concern is that Nissan Recall 26V080 covers certain 2023–2025 Rogues with this same 1.5L VC Turbo engine for increased engine oil temperature that can degrade lubrication and lead to bearing seizure, engine damage, or engine failure. Nissan Consumer Affairs says my VIN is not included. I am asking the federal safety agency to review whether vehicles outside the current recall population may be experiencing the same or related engine oil temperature and drivability problems. The vehicle is available for inspection and I have dealer repair orders and diagnostic records. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.
