The vehicle has an open federal safety recall related to a manufacturing defect that poses a serious safety risk. The recall was announced months after purchase, but the defect existed at the time of sale. The manufacturer has delayed providing a remedy for more than 90 days and continues to state that repairs are “under development.” The vehicle remains unsafe to drive, and no temporary or permanent remedy has been provided despite repeated contact with the manufacturer’s regional consumer affairs specialist. The issue places my safety and the safety of others at risk because the defect can lead to sudden vehicle malfunction while driving. The vehicle has been serviced and inspected by a dealer who confirmed the open recall but could not perform repairs. The manufacturer refuses to provide a replacement or buyback, and instead continues to require payments for a defective vehicle. There were no prior warning lamps or messages before the recall notice was issued. This is an ongoing safety concern caused by the manufacturer’s failure to remedy a known defect within a reasonable time under 49 U.S.C. §30120(c).

Nissan Rogue 2023. I was driving and the engine start a lot of weird noise like vacuum and all of a sudden the car just lost power and unable to move until a tow truck came
There is an odd engine 'rattling', 'guzzling', 'slurping', type noise coming from the engine and the engine has begun to idle very rough even after fresh oil change. This is directly the issue cited from Nissan as recall with no current solution - which is unacceptable. We are not interested in waiting until the car malfunctions worse and in a dangerous way in order to get this recall addressed.
Waiting 5 + months for Manufacturer Recall NumberR25A8 to be dealt with , and informed by Bravo Nissan Texas as well as Nissan Customer Service. Both said nothing could be done and to leave it at the dealership.

See attached document for complaint. Please be advised that I received a safety recall notice relative to my leased 2023 Nissan Rogue Platinum involving a manufacturing defect affecting the engine bearings and/or engine components. Bearings and crankshaft are prone to failure, which can result in catastrophic engine damage with little or no warning. I appreciate that Nissan is going to address this issue, as this issue will increase the risk of a crash . the federal safety agency RECALL 25V‑437 affects my car. The Vin number is [XXX] . My account number with Nissan is XXXXXXXXXXX·. Since I received this notice, and was scheduled for an oil and filter change, I took my Nissan to Maus Nissan located in Tampa, Florida. I was told that the parts relative to the recall were not in. Since I was going to drive to Miami, Florida and considered the vehicle unsafe to drive from Tampa to Miami I contacted Nissan about a rental vehicle. I was told no, to drive the vehicle and if a problem happened to pull over and take the car to the nearest Nissan Dealer. I rented a vehicle from National Car Rental and have attached a copy of the rental receipt. The amount was $261.66. I respectfully request that Nissan North America reimburse said amount.

While driving, the engine started making a loud rattling noise, as if there were loose parts inside. The noise increases when accelerating, and the vehicle has noticeably lost power, especially during gear shifts. It feels like the transmission is struggling or the engine isn’t delivering enough power. This issue raised safety concerns because the vehicle doesn’t respond properly when accelerating or merging into traffic.

So my engine failed at 70K. Nissan replaced it with a remanufactured engine the is failing faster than the original engine. Currently at 112K, I have replaced the catalytic converter, muffler, Egr sensor twice, mass airflow sensor and oil changes at 3K just to have the vehicle in the shop for 6-7 months in 2025 alone. Do not buy a 2023 Nissan Rogue with the 1.5L. The reman engine is under a safety recall for bearing degradation, but the dealership won't even look at it unless I pay upfront for a full diag fee of 4500 dollars for a wiring harness that is a secondary condition. Apparently the remedy won't be out until late in Q4 of 2025. No rental or loaner assistance was offered at all. The vehicle has a deep knocking and won't accelerate properly to use roads and interstate driving safely. The latest symptom is low oil pressure and stalling. Completly unsafe car and ridiculous amount of time getting repaired. All of this has been since October 31st of 2024.
The grommet that goes into the plastic oil pan failed and came out with the oil plug.
Component/System: Engine — Main Bearing (KR15 VC-Turbo Engine Recall 25V‑197) I own a 2023 Nissan Rogue manufactured in Smyrna, Tennessee, equipped with the 1.5 L VC-Turbo (KR15) engine. Nissan issued a safety recall stating that the engine bearings could fail and cause sudden loss of power while driving, but the company still has no remedy or repair available. I have been told by the dealership and Nissan Consumer Affairs to “drive the vehicle as minimally as possible” due to the risk of stalling or crashing. This situation puts my safety and the safety of others at risk because the vehicle could lose power at highway speed without warning. I must continue to make car payments for a vehicle I am afraid to drive, and Nissan has not provided a loaner or alternate transportation despite repeated requests. The issue was confirmed by both a Nissan dealer and independent mechanics, who verified that the vehicle has the KR15 engine affected by the recall and noted that it drives roughly and feels shaky. A diagnostic scan showed a code stored in the telematics/GPS system, though no warning lights are illuminated. I have contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs multiple times, and they have documented my case but have not provided any solution or inspection. As of October 2025, the promised repair “available in October” has not been released. The vehicle remains in use only when absolutely necessary and is available for inspection upon request. Warning indicators: No check-engine or dashboard warning lights; symptoms include rough driving and engine vibration beginning earlier this year (2025).
My mechanic has discovered metal shavings on my engine oil dipstick. This is a serious condition caused by defective engine bearings. This defects can cause engines to seize which can cause crashes, and injury/death. Nissan is aware of this manufacturing defect and has not provided me with a recall notice or a remedy.
the vehicle still hesitating, it has very poor acceleration, the car drinks, some more gas than usual, and the car also burns oil. Also, the transmission light comes on more than usual.

No incident yet but filing a complaint because the recall process is taking too long. I called the Nissan phone number on the recall site and the automated system stated letters will be sent out the end of December. My dealer offers a loaner car for repairs up to 36,000 miles and I will be beyond that by the end of December. Nissan is very ambiguous as to coverage for a rental car during the repair. My dealer has been very slow with repairs in the past and an engine replacement could take weeks. They had the vehicle 1 week just to replace a seat cushion. They had it 4 weeks to replace the PVC hose.

I bought a 2023 Nissan Rogue from a dealership. 3 hours after leaving the dealership, I was driving down the highway @ 65MPH & the vehicle started a knocking sound, and before I could pull over to the side of the road, the dash lights started illuminating, and the vehicle stalled, the exhaust was smoking and so was the motor. We had to tow the vehicle to the dealership, and now I am concerned to drive it after it gets fixed. If I wouldn’t have acted extremely fast, this could have hurt me or someone else. I am reading the concerns from others and that this is an ongoing issue, and I wish I could re-do the car sale because I traded my vehicle in solely because I needed a reliable vehicle…. This is by far reliable. Please help me and all these other people..
