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

While driving my 2023 Nissan Rogue (53,180 miles) on the road, the steering wheel suddenly became extremely stiff and lost power steering assist mid-drive, almost causing a crash and creating a severe safety hazard. I then took the vehicle to Nissan of Doral (RO #910664), where the technician confirmed a completely dead battery and an active permanent fault code DTC C1608-49 (EPS Control Unit internal malfunction). After I already paid $367.49 for the battery replacement and the $295.95 diagnostic fee (which the advisor had promised to waive), the dealer quoted $3,414.39 to replace and reprogram the entire rack and pinion assembly (Part #49001-6RR2C).

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.

The vehicle suddenly lost power at Freeway speed and I had to pull over in traffic and then hobble to the next exit 45 mph which was the maximum speed I could reach. Then trying to get home on back roads I could barely accelerate through an intersection before the light turned red. It felt dangerous to even venture into the intersection because the power to accelerate was so incredibly low.

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.

My 2023 Nissan Rogue with the 1.5L VC-Turbo engine has repeatedly displayed the “Engine Malfunction Power Reduced Service Now” warning, causing reduced engine power and creating a safety risk when accelerating or merging into traffic. We took the vehicle to the dealership to have the ECM reprogrammed (which the recall suggested), but the issue has persisted. According to the Nissan Certified Technician, the vehicle has diagnostic code P210B, and the dealership recommended a valve replacement costing approximately $5,000. Given known engine defects affecting certain Nissan VC-Turbo engines, we are concerned the dealership is addressing the symptoms rather than the underlying problem of a potentially failing engine. We are concerned this could allow a serious engine defect to go unresolved while leaving us responsible for substantial repair costs. I request that the federal safety agency investigate this issue for potential safety defects and determine whether further recall action is necessary.

I am reporting repeated loss of engine power and subsequent engine failure involving my 2023 Nissan Rogue SV equipped with the 1.5L VC-Turbo engine. On February 3, 2026, at 151,975 miles, Nissan of Boerne performed recall R25D1 and campaign PA447. Following that service, the vehicle experienced repeated loss of power and limp-mode conditions, creating a safety concern while driving because the vehicle could not accelerate normally. In April 2026, World Car Nissan documented an engine malfunction complaint accompanied by forward and rear collision warning lights. In May–June 2026, at 163,589 miles, Nissan of Boerne confirmed trouble code P2564 and diagnosed a turbocharger wastegate stuck open. The dealership replaced the turbocharger assembly. In September 2026, at 172,431 miles, the vehicle again experienced a severe loss of acceleration. The engine RPM increased when pressing the accelerator, but the vehicle would not accelerate normally. The dealership documented the complaint as loss of power without warning lights and replaced the three-way catalytic converter. In October 2026, Nissan of Boerne diagnosed a blown head gasket, coolant leaking into cylinder 3, overheating, and trouble code P04FA (EGR over-temperature). The dealership recommended replacing the engine long block for $7,166.52. The vehicle is currently inoperable. These problems have been examined by authorized Nissan dealerships, and the service invoices document the diagnoses and repairs. The vehicle's current condition may be available for inspection through the dealership, subject to confirmation. I am concerned about the recurring loss of power, the potential danger of being unable to accelerate in traffic, and whether the vehicle was adequately inspected under applicable VC-Turbo engine safety recalls. Nissan Consumer Affairs advised that the recall had been completed and declined further assistance.
