2023 Nissan Rogue transmission problems

Filed Nov 5, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · NV

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. Sincerely, [XXX] 2023 Nissan Rogue Midnight Edition INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.

Beginning of October 2026 as I was driving on highway the cvt awd lights went on and the car wouldn’t accelerate while driving. Then they fix the issue at mechanic shop after $1500.00 later now had my car back week and half now it’s a rattling noise and won’t crank. My dad, stepdad and an uncle who works at Nissan dealership says I’m having problems that’s related to recalls that are ongoing but no open recall has been reported for my vehicle yet. And if it’s under these extended manufacture warranty I shouldn’t be coming out of pocket for these repairs with a vehicle under 6months of ownership.

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.

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.

The transmission froze and my car became immovable while driving. Towed it to nissan and they said water has spelled near the shift liver. The cupholders are located right next to the shift lever, and if that’s going to cost the car to freeze while driving, it seems some sort of protection would’ve been a good idea in that area.

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 used 2023 Nissan Rogue on XXX. Within approximately three weeks, I experienced multiple electrical and operational problems. The engine unexpectedly shut off while I was parking, and I had to manually restart the vehicle using the Start button. On a separate occasion, the dashboard/display screen went completely black while I was driving, although the engine continued running. Other problems include doors that do not consistently remain locked, side mirrors that change their adjustments without my input, static and poor sound quality during phone calls through the vehicle's audio system, and phone charging ports that do not function properly. I notified the selling dealership, CarMax in [XXX], on XXX, and returned the vehicle for service on XXX. The service department advised me that the dashboard software had been updated but that the engine shutdown could not be reproduced during a test drive. The cause of the shutdown and other reported problems has not been confirmed. I am concerned about the safety and reliability of this vehicle, particularly the unexpected engine shutdown requiring a manual restart and the dashboard going black while driving. I am requesting that these incidents be documented and investigated as potential vehicle safety defects. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.
